C6 Women in the wardrobe

The back door of the Taoboreal Hall has a wall that isn't that high, and when I went to look around, I noticed that when I went over there, it was to the backyard of the Taoboreal Hall. The windows of the first floor were all plastered with seals, and in the courtyard there was a dense locust tree, which was covered with tokens from believers.

Han Yu called for Silvermoon to wait inside the courtyard. I just happened to be able to enter the second floor of Taoboreal Hall along the bamboo stairs, and me bringing Han Yu here wasn't according to the rules after all. If the butcher and Yun Duruo knew about this, maybe they would really make me stop, so I didn't dare to turn on the lights in the room.

I stared at Han Yu who had entered from the back, and closed the window so that no one would see him. Han Yu patted my shoulder from behind, and it was only when I turned around that I saw him gesturing for me to give the flashlight to him.

The room was still as it had been when I first entered it. Other than taking fingerprints and taking photographs, none of my colleagues in the appraisal department had moved anything else in the room. Looking at the room now, it looked exactly the same as the room I'd been in the last time I'd been here.

Han Yu held the flashlight s and illuminated the window that he was about to close. On both sides of the window, there were torn pieces of yellow paper, and now I know that it was a Dao talisman.

The flashlight in Han Yu's hand started to move slowly along the window. The Dao talismans kept on sticking to the gaps of the windows on the second floor, causing Han Yu's expression to become strange.

"It's not just the second floor, but the first floor as well. All the doors and windows have the same kind of incantation stuck to them." I can see that Han Yu was puzzled and wanted to explain the situation to him. Zhang Songlin is so professional in pretending to be mysterious, for him to cause the room to become like this, it really does have the intent of being a Daoist. "

Han Yu ignored my words, his hand wanted to touch the talisman on the window, but I caught it and gave his a pair of gloves.

"You are someone who knows how to draw Soul Breaking Talisman of the Seven Ghosts. If your fingerprints were to appear here, it would be useless no matter how good your eloquence is."

Han Yu rolled his eyes at me, and said while putting on his gloves.

"There is more than one talisman in this window."

"Yes, the appraisal department has also discovered this detail. I don't know what reason Zhang Songlin would stick this kind of glyph on the door or window every night after closing time, then tear it off the next day, and keep repeating this matter. The appraisal department has separated the shattered horns of eleven glyph s from the remaining glue, which means that Zhang Songlin had this habit eleven days before he committed suicide.

"Zhang Songlin is not afraid of humans." Han Yu took a deep breath, and looked back at me with furrowed brows. This is the Three Pure True Lord Talisman, used to suppress ghosts. It is usually used to exorcise ghosts, Zhang Songlin is afraid of ghosts! "

"Ghost …" "I choked on the smoke until my lungs started to cough violently. It took me a long time to regain my senses." I respect your religious beliefs, but I brought you here to help me see if I can find anything from your point of view. If there really is a ghost, then I'll lose my job too. I'll have to trouble you to be more serious. "

"You wouldn't believe me if I told you, Zhang Songlin is just bluffing and duping people, he comes in contact with Daoist charms everyday, what is the use of these True Lord talismans, does he not know, that these are the most basic talismans that even disciples know." Han Yu's seriousness made me a little hesitant, as he emphasized. It seems like the talisman on the window was written by Zhang Songlin himself, and was drawn according to his words, but there are even some mistakes, which means that he does not have any cultivation experience, but since he has been pasting these on the window for the past eleven days, it means that he knows the use of the Three Pure True Lord Talisman, which is called hugging onto something, showing that Zhang Songlin is truly afraid, a person like him trying to trick people like us, trying to deceive us for unclean things is not strange. "

Han Yu said clearly, and the more it was like this, the more I regretted bringing him here. Zhang Songlin is a God Tier Consolidating Equipment, and Han Yu is the same, I found a God Tier Skill to help me investigate a case, I really don't know if my brain got stuck in a trap.

I took the flashlight in his hand. Based on Han Yu's personality, he would argue with me over this matter for the whole night, Taoboreal Hall's second floor was a large open room, which was separated by a carved screen and turned into a bedroom by Zhang Songlin. Under the guidance of the flashlight, Han Yu and I saw Zhang Songlin's bed.

Yun Duruo had reorganized the case here and according to the information, Zhang Songlin lived alone. On the night of the crime, Zhang Songlin should have been startled by something and hurriedly got off the bed.

After I told Han Yu all of this, I once again shone my light on the window as I continued to speak.

"From Zhang Songlin's actions of pasting talismans between the doors and windows, it can be seen that Zhang Songlin knew in advance that someone was threatening his safety, which was why he was on guard."

"Do you use a few pieces of paper to resist threats?" Han Yu did not spare him and interrupted him.

I paused for a moment, theoretically speaking Zhang Songlin's actions were really weird, I smiled bitterly at Han Yu, showing my weakness.

"Let's not talk about our religious differences for now, let's not talk about whether the one threatening Zhang Songlin is a human or a ghost. It is obvious that Zhang Songlin knows about the dangers."

I looked at Han Yu who was waiting for his reply. Han Yu nodded his head and agreed with me on this point.

"If it were you..." I stopped halfway through my sentence. I can't judge other people by Han Yu's actions. If it was a normal person, what would their first reaction be when they discovered danger on a clearly guarded basis? "

"I will fight to the end, regardless of victory or defeat."

"I didn't mention you. I already said that if it was a normal person, could you change positions and think about it a bit?" I glared at him.

"Even a normal person would resist if they had the ability." Seeing that I was serious, Han Yu thought for a while and replied. However, if Zhang Songlin had the ability, he wouldn't have fumbled about for a moment. After doing so much useless work, it meant that he knew that no matter how he resisted, it was useless. "Hide."

"Yes!" "It's dodging!" My flashlight illuminated Han Yu's face. The strong light in the darkness prevented him from opening his eyes, so he tilted his head and used his hands to cover his face. His gaze was behind me, and then he slowly lowered his hands.

Han Yu's appearance suddenly reminded me of the eyes that those black cats and dogs used to look at me with, and I suddenly felt a chill on my back. Although I have been used to death and corpses for the past few years, but whenever I think about what happened during my childhood, I would feel that it was a little strange, only that it was too long. After the high fever when I was seven years old, my childhood memories had also become blurry.

Trembling, I followed Han Yu's finger and turned my head. The flashlight in my hand followed, illuminating the big wooden bed behind me.

"I guess he's going to hide under the bed." Han Yu's tone was very relaxed, and there was even a playful smile on his face. Yo, so even you can be afraid. "

I heaved a long sigh of relief, not because I was afraid of anything, but because Han Yu's actions just now reminded me of something from my childhood, especially the scene of my mother hanging from the roof beams like a swing, while I stood on my tiptoes on the windmill.

"I'm just joking with you, there's no need to be so serious, right?"

Han Yu's words interrupted my train of thoughts, and when he saw that I had not responded at all, he thought that I was angry, causing my expression to darken. I followed the light of the flashlight to look underneath the bed.

Zhang Songlin was indeed a rich man, even the luxurious bed that he slept on was made of Nanmu, and under the low bed, I could just barely hide a person. I bent down and illuminated the bottom of the bed with the flashlight, then used my fingers to slide across the floor, under the bed that had not been cleaned for a long time, I easily drew a line.

"It could not be under the bed, if it is, then the dust below should be enough to leave a mark of Zhang Songlin's retreat, and the dust below should be very uniform." I stood up and shook my head at Han Yu, looking at the shoes beside the bed and continued. If Zhang Songlin's first reaction was to hide under the bed, then he wouldn't even need to wear shoes. "

The second floor's room was very spacious, and the furniture inside was in a unique and orderly fashion. Because it was separated by a carved screen, it allowed the entire second floor to be easily discernible. If Zhang Songlin really wanted to hide, then it was best to hide under the bed.

My gaze landed on a wooden closet in the corner diagonally across from the bed. This should be where Zhang Songlin kept his clothes, so I turned around to look at the shoe that was left by the bed.

Suddenly, the flashlight in my hand started to flash continuously. After I tapped on it hard a few times, it still flickered on and off. It should be due to poor contact with the light.

Carefully, I pulled open the door of the cabinet. I couldn't see what was inside in the dark, and felt for the clothes hanging there. There was a gap in the middle and a meter of space below.

If Zhang Songlin had been hiding here back then...

As I thought, I squatted inside with the extinguished flashlight in my hands. Zhang Songlin was shorter than me, so it was more fitting for me to squat inside. I believed that Zhang Songlin could do the same, so I closed the door of the wooden closet.

The weak moonlight shone through the closed window with difficulty, and I saw Han Yu staring at me from inside the dark room.

Since Zhang Songlin was hiding here, then why was the corpse in the basement?

This meant that he had been discovered in the end. I silently thought in my heart, for a person who places their last hope in a wooden chest, their natural reaction after being discovered would be to resist. For Zhang Songlin, this is his last safe place.

Thus, even if he was discovered, he would still desperately resist.

Thinking about it here, I started to feel around the dark wooden cabinet with the thought of getting lucky. If Zhang Songlin had really resisted, then he would have definitely left some traces here.

I used all of my strength to pull out the sharp object from the crevice between the smooth wood. Unfortunately, the flashlight was still not bright, so I used the weak moonlight to carefully separate the sharp object in my hands.

"It's a human nail!"

A feminine voice came from the dark wooden cabinet.

I wasn't the only one in the cabinet. The intense stimulation caused my hand to tremble and the flashlight fell into the cabinet. The heavy impact allowed the flashlight to illuminate it once again.

In the light from below, I could clearly see the dark face of a woman very close to me.
