Chapter 189 Cause of Death
Chapter 189 Cause of Death
Zou Jingcheng's words reminded Nan Yuan of something,
"Could the murderer be a special person? After all, if we candidates want to enter a room with resentment, we must crack the resentment lock on the door. Those who can enter it safely without being backlashed by resentment must be from the brothel." people, but so far, we have not seen a living person in this brothel."
Zou Jingcheng nodded: "It is indeed possible, but the posture of the two people's death is a bit strange, it doesn't look like they were burned to death."
Nan Yuan couldn't help but glanced at the scorched corpse again, and frowned,
"This corpse has been carbonized, isn't it burnt to death?"
Zou Jingcheng: "When the body is on fire, it is human instinct to extinguish the fire and save yourself. But looking at the posture of these two people entangled together, it seems that they have been hugging each other and being burned by the fire. There is no sign of extinguishing the fire at all. Their hands and feet are not bound. Come on, this is so unreasonable."
As he spoke, Zou Jingcheng squatted down, approached the two charred corpses and began to examine them.
At the same time, weird things happened.
At the moment Zou Jingcheng squatted down, Nan Yuan also felt a strong force coming from his shoulders, pushing his whole body down!He had to squat down too, doing the same pose as Zou Jingcheng.
This is how the same thing?
Nan Yuan wanted to stand up, but his shoulders were unusually heavy.
Just when he was about to push the ground hard, Zou Jingcheng beside him said,
"Don't move around, we should be in a conjoined state now, let me finish the autopsy first."
Zou Jingcheng's words stunned Nan Yuan instantly.
Did he hear wrong?
They are now... conjoined?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glanced back.
After seeing the two wraiths with scorched corpses behind him, Nan Yuan suddenly understood something.
These two charred corpses are intertwined.
And their resentful spirits are also in a entangled state.
However, the two vengeful spirits possessed the two of them respectively, which is equivalent to entangled his and Zou Jingcheng's bodies together...
It's just that the resentful spirits are entangled with each other, but he and Zou Jingcheng are entangled with their backs...
Sure enough, when Zou Jingcheng was moving around the corpse, Nan Yuan's body was also pulled by an invisible force, and he kept moving towards Zou Jingcheng's moving direction.
In order not to be tripped by this force, Nan Yuan could only turn his head, keep an eye on Zou Jingcheng's whereabouts, and follow him as he moves.
After being dragged around the corpse, Nan Yuan couldn't help asking,
"Zou Jingcheng, do we have to act in this way of conjoining all the time? Can't you separate the two dead? This is too uncomfortable!"
However, Zou Jingcheng's expression became more solemn,
"The bodies of these two people are completely fused together, and I can't separate them."
Nan Yuan was taken aback, he didn't understand what Zou Jingcheng said.
What does melt together mean?
Aren't these two charred corpses in a state of embracing each other?
At the same time, Nanyuan saw Zou Jingcheng holding an oil lamp in his hand.
After seeing this oil lamp, he couldn't help but startled.
But he saw that this oil lamp was exactly the one he had forgotten in this room before.
Nan Yuan couldn't help but look happy,
"Have you found this oil lamp? Where did you find it?"
However, Zou Jingcheng's expression became more solemn,
"In the belly of a charred corpse."
The expression on Nan Yuan's face suddenly froze,
"Tummy... in the stomach?"
He thought he might have heard wrong.
Zou Jingcheng nodded,
"This oil lamp is exactly what started the fire."
Nan Yuan couldn't help being confused: "What do you mean? Didn't these two people really burn to death?"
Zou Jingcheng nodded,
"There is no carbon ash in their trachea, which proves that they did not catch fire when they died. At the same time, their body structure also has problems. It seems that their hands and feet have been cut off and then reassembled."
Zou Jingcheng's words sent a chill down Nan Yuan's spine.
Even if he killed him, he would never have imagined that these two corpses would be reassembled?
After splicing, it was burned with fire, and the carbon ash bonded the corpses together again, which covered up the traces of splicing.
Who would do such an extremely cruel thing?
Looking at the lamp in Zou Jingcheng's hand, Nanyuan said in a deep voice,
"The fact that the murderer was able to get this oil lamp to light the fire, does it mean that the murderer is still alive, or that he is by our side?"
Zou Jingcheng said thoughtfully,
"I think this person must be the arsonist, but he is not necessarily the murderer."
As he spoke, he took out his handkerchief.
After unfolding the handkerchief and looking at the writing on it, Zou Jingcheng's expression became more gloomy,
"it is as expected……"
Seeing this, Nan Yuan couldn't help but also took out his handkerchief.
However, to his disappointment, apart from the time, there was only one clue about the place of death—【Dark Room】
He put down the handkerchief, because he and Zou Jingcheng were leaning against each other, and he couldn't read the writing on Zou Jingcheng's handkerchief, so he could only ask with a confused face,
"Apart from the place of death, do you have any other discoveries?"
Zou Jingcheng nodded,
"About the cause of death of the two."
As he spoke, he handed the candle to Nan Yuan, motioning him to take a closer look at the heads of the two charred corpses.
Nan Yuan extended the candle to the scorched corpse's head, and soon, he found that the two skulls had a depression mark, and at the same time, there was some unburned blood clotted near the depression.
Zou Jingcheng: "These traces prove that the cause of their death was a severe blow to the head."
Nan Yuan: "Being beaten by the murderer?"
Zou Jingcheng: "Use a candle to carefully illuminate the wall."
According to Zou Jingcheng's words, Nan Yuan picked up the candle again and shined it on the wall.
Soon, he found some blood stains on a wall.
At the moment he touched the wall, two words appeared on his handkerchief—【Impact】
So... the "wall" is the murder weapon?
Nan Yuan: "Could it be that the two charred corpses were not killed, but they hit the wall and died?"
Zou Jingcheng nodded, "That's what I guessed too. It's a pity that Ms. Qiukui doesn't know the names of these two maids and servants, otherwise the verification can be done right now."
Nan Yuan couldn't help but said solemnly,
"Then what happened to the man who dismembered the corpse, stitched it together, and then burned it? Is he a psychopath? Such an insult to the corpse?"
Zou Jingcheng: "I think he is trying to cover up his act of taking part of their bodies."
Nan Yuan was taken aback for a moment: "A part of the body?"
Zou Jingcheng nodded, "I compared carefully just now, the two charred corpses are missing some body tissues, missing a torso and a left leg,"
Nanyuan suddenly felt a little dizzy.
No wonder, Zou Jingcheng just said that the two corpses could not be separated.
This is all missing arms and legs, how can it be possible to tell the difference?
At this moment, Nan Yuan couldn't help thinking of something,
"It felt like few of the bodies we saw were whole."
Girl Chuntao is missing her right leg, painter Meng Yi is missing a hand, girl Qiukui's child is missing, and now the two charred corpses are missing their torso and left leg.
Thinking of this, Nanyuan couldn't help complaining,
"This body is so well-proportioned, is it going to be assembled into a new person?"
But Zou Jingcheng nodded his head intently,
"I think so too."
Nanyuan couldn't help taking a deep breath,
"No way! There are men and women here, what kind of person are you going to make?"
Zou Jingcheng: "Perhaps, it is not the residual limbs that are spliced together, but the abilities contained in them."
As he spoke, he opened his mouth to analyze,
"Miss Chuntao's legs have the ability to dance, Meng Yi's hands have the ability to draw, the servant's legs can withstand long-term running, and the maid's body is young and energetic..."
Hearing these words, Nan Yuan remembered what Zou Jingcheng said to him about "raising little ghosts", and suddenly his hairs shivered.
As if feeling Nan Yuan's body trembling suddenly, Zou Jingcheng couldn't help comforting him,
"This is just my speculation. Let's find out the identities of these two people and see if they committed suicide, shall we?"
However, Nan Yuan's mind is full of the "stitched corpses", and he has no clue about the identities of the two.
"Then where are we going to find out who these two people are?"
Zou Jingcheng quickly came up with a countermeasure,
"You can go to the old lady's room to check. Since she is the proprietress of the brothel, she must have a roster of personnel in the brothel. We will try one by one and we will always find the correct answer."
Nanyuan suddenly realized and nodded.
As expected of Zou Jingcheng, his thinking is always so rigorous and reliable.
However, although it was decided to go to the madam's room, it was not easy to carry it out.
Because they were implicated by the spliced charred corpses, the two could only restrain each other with their backs facing each other. At the same time, because there was a gap between the two scorched corpses, they could not touch each other, so they could only rely on their feelings. action.
However, both of them have learned martial arts, and their body coordination ability is not bad, and they have cultivated a certain tacit understanding during their long time together.
After entering the room, the two of them immediately began to rummage through drawers and cabinets.
After a carpet search, Zou Jingcheng said in a low voice, "I found it."
From the corner of his eye, Nan Yuan saw that he was holding a "brothel booklet" in his hand.
In addition to the people working in the brothel, there is also a list of guests.
Soon, Zou Jingcheng tore off a few pieces of paper and handed them to him. Nanyuan saw that this seemed to be the list of women in the brothel. He turned to the page of the maid, and saw all kinds of names with "son" on it.
Shuang'er, Yang'er, Xi'er...
When he said the name "Juan'er", he felt the handkerchief tremble suddenly.
He reached out and took out the handkerchief, and found that there were two more names of "Juan'er" on it.
One is the name of the deceased, the other is the name of the murderer...
Both have this name, that is to say, this maid named Juan'er committed suicide?
Just as he turned his head to ask about Zou Jingcheng's progress, suddenly, with a bang, the bronze mirror in his pocket fell to the ground for some reason.
When he came back to his senses again, he found that he was hugging Zou Jingcheng without a trace.
