C10 Murder in the chamber of secrets

I really haven't calculated how long Yun Duruo had been in my arms ever since she crashed into me and was pushed away from me in the end. I only knew that she had her head buried in my chest and was constantly shivering.

Only Han Yu's reaction was normal, he was even in the mood to tease Yun Duruo. The handcuffs from the hands he picked up from the ground, and the handgun that Silvermoon had been guarding, were brought over to Yun Duruo.

"Do you think I should wear it myself, or do you want to bring it?" Han Yu's giggling appearance was a stark contrast to Yun Duruo's frightened yet uncertain expression. He didn't even forget to tease me. "Say, do I look good with my left hand or right hand? Why don't you choose first? Hur Hur."

Yun Duruo and I ignored him. Fifteen minutes later, Criminal Police and our colleagues from the Forensics Department arrived, and Yun Duruo tried her best to calm us down. I suddenly felt that it wasn't easy for her, a woman leading a group of men was obviously scared, but she still couldn't show her weakness in front of them.

After looking at the nails, Han Yu realized that they were not ordinary iron nail s but coffin nails. Since there was no autopsy, the cause of death and the time of death of these four corpses could not be determined for now, but looking at the color of the corpses and the degree of skin drying, the time of death for these four corpses was at least five years old.

Chu Tianqi saw me silently sitting on the second floor's stairs. He didn't say much, but he was very careful as he took out a box of cigarettes and placed it in my hands. I lowered my head and saw that it was I who snatched it from Song Chi a few days ago for him to learn about smoking.

"You've worked hard the whole night. Don't go back tonight. I'll start the autopsy overnight. You should go back and rest first."

I didn't reply, I only patted his shoulder gratefully. Chu Tianqi nodded silently and went back with her colleagues from the Appraisal Department. I tore open the cigarette pack, took out a cigarette and placed it next to my mouth, and just as I took out my lighter, I suddenly saw Yun Duruo sitting beside me.

He didn't expect Yun Duruo to actually tilt her head to the side and speak in a very soft voice.

"After you finish smoking, take away your cigarette butts. Don't leave them on the scene, don't let the cigarette ash fall to the ground. Quickly finish smoking. You and I will reorganize the case and see if there's anything you missed."

I held the lighter and didn't press it down. I suddenly realized that she was actually quite cute when she didn't want to argue with me. I put the cigarette away and stood up.

"It's getting late. Let's begin."

Other than the corpses found under the bed, Han Yu and Silvermoon were the ones who were the focus of the most attention. Every single one of their colleagues who came up from the downstairs would look at Silvermoon in shock, then stare at Han Yu blankly for a while. After all, they were all new faces.

It was a beauty.

After clearing up the scene, it was almost daybreak. Yun Duruo called for all her colleagues from the Criminal Police to return first, she, Han Yu and I will stay behind, and the rest of us will be the only ones left in the Taoboreal Hall. I knew clearly in my heart that her asking Han Yu to appear here was a grave breach of discipline, but Han Yu had used reality to confirm all the heresy that had spread around in her heart, and it was just that she and I were the same.

"Since you thought that Zhang Songlin's instinctive reaction would be to hide in the cupboard, it means that your logical reasoning is not bad." Yun Duruo said as he took out the broken nail that I found in the wooden cabinet earlier. If my deductions weren't wrong, then Zhang Songlin was hiding inside the wooden cabinet at that time, but he was still discovered by someone who wanted to drag him out. During Zhang Songlin's attempt to resist, his fingernail broke in the cracks of the wooden cabinet. "

I nodded. The other slipper was found at the edge of the stairs on the second floor. I looked at the Forensics report on the site and saw traces of it being dragged. The slipper fell during the process.

"This means two things. Firstly, on the night of Zhang Songlin's death, there was indeed someone who came in." Yun Duruo looked around and pondered for a while before speaking. Second, after Zhang Songlin was attacked, he used this peach wood sword to resist, and was broken in the end.

"Where was the peach wood sword discovered at that time?" Han Yu suddenly interrupted from the side.

I walked over to the place where I discovered the broken peach wood sword and pointed it out to Han Yu. Han Yu looked around, then took out his own peach wood sword and handed it over to me, and said seriously.

"The peach wood sword is a Daoist magic item, because peach wood is the essence of the Five Wood, also known as the Immortal Wood, also known as the Ghostly Bewildering Wood."

"What are you trying to say?" Yun Duruo asked straightforwardly, but his voice was no longer as strong as before.

"The peach wood is soft and fragile, just like the one in your hand." "Han Yu pointed to the peach wood sword in my hands and said calmly. If Zhang Songlin really wants to resist, then why did he take out a peach wood sword that was completely unharmed when the incomparably sharp Dragon Spring Sword was right next to his sword rack? Don't you think there's a problem? "

The sword rack that Han Yu was talking about was a wooden frame used to decorate the wall. On top of it were many different types of swords and sabers, it was obvious that Zhang Songlin liked weapons, and the broken peach wood sword was placed at the top.

"Regarding this question, I have my suspicions too, because according to Zhang Songlin's height, from the angle of the broken sword's remains, his back was facing the sword stand at that time. If he wanted to resist, no matter what he chose to defend himself with, the closest thing to him would be a blade and sword that had its edge cut open. Yun Duruo's brows were knitted tightly, and he gave a slight nod of his head as if he was wondering something.

"The reason is simple, the reason why Zhang Songlin took the peach wood sword is because he knew that he wasn't going to deal with a human!" Han Yu took the peach wood sword in my hands and said calmly. The Peach Blossom Ghost Sect can suppress Evil Qi, and can suppress hundred ghosts. Therefore, other than guarding the house, providing blessings, and repelling Evil Qi, the biggest use of peach wood sword is to exorcise ghosts. "

Yun Duruo and I looked at each other. A few hours ago, when Han Yu said those words, none of us would have been able to hear him.

"Ghost …" You said that the peach wood sword was a ghost exorcist, but Zhang Songlin even broke the peach wood sword, so he died in the basement. That means, this ghost is not afraid of the peach wood sword. " I rubbed my forehead. I really didn't want to argue with him, but I still felt that Han Yu saying all these made me feel that my major was being somewhat let down.

"Zhang Songlin is a liar with no good points, he does not have any cultivation experience at all. The peach wood sword is just a piece of wood in his hands, it is useless for him to take it." Han Yu replied confidently.

Yun Duruo took a step forward, probably not wanting to be guided by Han Yu's thoughts and continued to restructure her case. No matter if it was human or ghost, after the peach wood sword was broken off, Zhang Songlin had dodged and smashed into the mirror, causing the glass fragments to scatter all over the place. From the scene investigation, she found minute scratches on the wooden steps.

The reason why Yun Duruo and I found Zhang Songlin's corpse was because of the teacup that I accidentally knocked away. The remaining tea water inside seeped into the ground, and Yun Duruo inferred that there was still a tunnel underground.

But the key thing was that on the night that Zhang Songlin died, other than him, there was a second person in Taoboreal Hall. Before Zhang Songlin died, he had the habit of affixing runes onto doors and windows, all of the runes were affixed from the inside, but before Yun Duruo and I entered, the runes on the windows and doors were still intact. In other words, from the night that Zhang Songlin died, Yun Duruo and I were the only ones who had entered the room.

Zhang Songlin died in the sealed Taoboreal Hall.

So if there was a second person in the room, how did that person leave?

I concluded from the autopsy report that Zhang Songlin committed suicide, but that night, Zhang Songlin was obviously threatened and met with danger, there were traces of his resistance. That night, there was still another mysterious person in the room, from a professional perspective, I can confirm that Zhang Songlin committed suicide, but the appraisal department's report only found the footprints of Yun Duruo and I in the room.

Why can't I find this person's footprints in the room? After Zhang Songlin died, before Yun Duruo and I went in, there was no one who went in and no one came out. Could it be that the mysterious person stayed in the Taoboreal Hall all this time?

Or!

I looked at Han Yu, and didn't finish my sentence, I couldn't believe that I actually had this kind of thought. I could tell that Yun Duruo had already guessed what I was thinking, and she frowned as she didn't agree, but at the same time didn't object.

Han Yu reached to his waist, and when he raised his hand, a talisman appeared. He placed it between his two fingers, closed his eyes and muttered something to himself, then waved his hand, and the talisman floated up before slowly descending. Han Yu's gaze never left the talisman until it landed on the ground.

Although I said that Zhang Songlin was not hiding his body, but there should not be anything dirty in Taoboreal Hall, if there is, the talisman will burn up, and it looks like I cannot help you guys, but it is the doing of a ghost, and I can even help out. From the looks of it, the person here that night is human.

Hearing Han Yu's words, I was a little disappointed. If the person who appeared in this room that night was a human, then this case would become a little strange. Looking at Yun Duruo's expression, I knew that she and I had been trying to figure out how this mysterious person left this place.

This was also why the butcher didn't believe that Zhang Songlin would commit suicide. He wanted me to find a reason to persuade him, but he actually wanted Yun Duruo and I to find a way to let the mysterious person leave the scene.
