C35 The Difference Between Twins
The difference between twins.
The crime scene this time was in a small grocery store, and the owner of the store was also a dead person. It was two twin brothers who looked exactly the same.
Their parents died prematurely, and it was all thanks to the two brothers helping each other that they grew up to this day. Their reputation in the neighborhood had always been good.
However, when the earliest customers came to the store today, they found that the grocery store, which had not rested for a year, actually closed its door today. If that was all, it would not be a big deal. There were even some customers who smelled the stench of blood from the closed shop's door.
The terrified customers immediately went to the authorities to report this matter, and when the bailiffs broke in, other than the large hole in the chest of the twins, there were no injuries on their faces. There was still a terrified expression on their faces.
This was not the first time such a thing had happened in the Return of Spring to City. The bailiffs naturally understood that this was no longer a problem they could solve, so they hurriedly informed their superiors.
They reported it layer by layer, and in the end, the two of them were also brought here.
When Ye Zhifa and his companion rushed to the goods store, there were already quite a number of people gathered in this place layer by layer. Even though the soldiers and bailiffs tried to drive away the surrounding crowd, they were still unable to withstand the endless stream of people rushing here.
However, when Mr. Ye Zhifa was here, the crowd consciously made a path for him. Along the way, there were many shouts like Young Hero Ye and Mr. Ye.
"Wow, Ye Zhifa, are you so famous now?"
Facing Chu Qianwei's question full of envy, Ye Zhifa could only respond a little bit. He was busy responding to everyone's greetings, but he did not have the time to talk to Chu Qianwei.
After a lot of effort, Ye Zhifa finally walked to the two corpses. He could take a good look at the victims of the ghost disaster.
Seeing that Ye Zhifa wanted to examine the corpses, the soldiers and coroner on the scene consciously stepped aside. Now that Ye Zhifa was the popular person beside Ran Maoxue, how could they dare to block Ye Zhifa's path?
"As expected, other than digging the heart, there is no other wound. Junior sister, can you tell the cause of their death?"
Chu Qianwei was afraid of ghosts, but she was not afraid of blood corpses. After being called by Ye Zhifa, she squatted down to investigate the corpses.
" There is no wound on the surface, but the cause of death must be inside. Let's see what happened inside. "
After saying that, Chu Qianwei took out an extremely small golden beetle and threw it on one of the corpses.
This golden beetle was not even half the size of a fingernail. It twisted a few times and drilled into the nose of the deceased. After a long while, it crawled out and ran back to Chu Qianwei's side.
"This little beetle can detect the changes in the internal organs of the human body, but it came back directly now. This means that everything is normal in the body and there are no abnormalities."
At this time, the coroner who had been waiting by the side also took a few steps forward. He had participated in the autopsy of the previous few dead people and had something to say.
"Young heroes, according to the previous autopsy, the first few deceased were also like this. In my opinion, they might really be scared to death by ghosts."
Scared to death? This said that there was a market in this world, but Ye Zhifa, who had knowledge from his previous life, understood. Scared to death often happened to the old, weak, and disabled. It was very unlikely that a healthy adult would be scared to death. Since the outbreak of the ghost disease, several of the deceased had been very strong. How could they be scared to death in a row?
If the problem did not lie in the other organs, it could only be because the heart of the deceased had a problem. Since the heart left in the grocery store was intact, Ye Zhifa began to think about the process of digging the heart.
"Junior Sister Chu, do you think the hearts of the deceased will be dug out and killed in one strike?"
As Ye Zhifa spoke, he used his hand to gesture towards Chu Qianwei, but was slapped away by the blushing Chu Qianwei.
"Ye Zhifa, do you want to... want to take advantage of this young lady!"
Only then did Ye Zhifa realize that the position of his hand was indeed not appropriate. He hurriedly used his left hand to slap his right hand, as an apology to Chu Qianwei.
Although Chu Qianwei was still a little angry, she still followed Ye Zhifa's line of thought and continued to speak.
"Even if their hearts were really dug out and they died, what could it mean? It's not surprising that ghosts could do this. Why don't you think about why only one heart was left behind?"
Her question made Ye Zhifa suddenly understand. He immediately understood what the opportunity he had felt was.
The choice of the two victims was the flaw left behind by the murderer. After figuring out why he had only chosen one heart, he could understand the motive of the murderer and also find the culprit of the ghost disaster.
However, no matter how Ye Zhifa tried to distinguish them, he still could not find any difference between these twin brothers.
Whether it was their height, appearance, clothing, or even the length of their fingernails, they were exactly the same. It was as if one of them was a replica of the other.
Perhaps those differences could only be discovered when they were alive?
When Ye Zhifa threw this question to the surrounding citizens, these enthusiastic neighbors immediately started a heated discussion in order to help the legendary Young Hero Ye.
However, after they discussed it, they realized that until now, no one had been able to distinguish between the two brothers. If they did not reveal their identities, even if they talked with them for a day, they would not be able to tell whether it was the older brother or the younger brother.
Seeing that the discussion had fallen into a deadlock, an old voice suddenly provided new clues.
"I still remember that even though Ah Da and Ah Er came out one after another when they were giving birth, Ah Er's mother lost the strength when she was born, so the final date of the twins was two hours away."
This old mother-in-law was the midwife that gave birth to the twin brothers all those years ago. Fortunately, the twin brothers were the only pair of twins that she had given birth to, so even after more than 20 years had passed, she was still able to accurately tell the birth dates of the twins.
After Ye Zhifa heard their birthdays, he still didn't have a clue. While he was thinking hard, Chu Qianwei on the other side laughed again.
"Ye Zhifa, you don't really know, do you?"
"Know what?"
"Although these two brothers are only two hours away from their birthdays, one of them is born with the purest Yang energy on the day and the day of his birth. If he is born late, he will not be as precious as his brother."
Ye Zhifa was a young man who grew up in the village. Even though he went crazy for supplementary lessons after entering the Sword Palace, it was still a lot of common knowledge to Chu Qianwei. For example, he had never understood the division of Yin and Yang on this Lunar New Year's Day.
"Is it very rare to see people born with yang energy? What's so special about them?"
Chu Qianwei thought for a while and frowned slightly. She said in distress, "In terms of rarity, there will be one out of ten thousand people. It was not to the extent that she never saw one. As for the special aspects, perhaps there are some special spells that can be used on special birthdays. That's right! I remember that the Southern Jin has a sect called the Burning Flame Sect. They specialize in taking in such disciples. They said that it is related to their cultivation technique, could it be related to them..."
When Chu Qianwei started to think about whether the Burning Flame Sect was involved, all the clues in Ye Zhifa's mind started to link up.
There was only one out of ten thousand people, and out of the fifty to sixty thousand people in the Return of Spring to City, there were only about five to six of them.
How many people could accurately find these few people?
