Three people and one ghost solved 43 mysterious cases.

Hongyun Restaurant was once the best Cantonese restaurant in K City.

People line up from morning till night every day, and the restaurant's roast goose, barbecued pork rice and shrimp dumplings are the signatures.

Especially the roasted suckling pig, a piglet that is one and a half months old and weighs ten kilograms is used, spread with honey and jam, and roasted over slow fire.

This Hongyun Roasted Suckling Pig, with its multi-layered aroma and rich taste, has made countless diners linger.

Unfortunately, when we arrived in the City of Missing, the business of Hongyun Restaurant was very bleak. The people here had no taste for anything they ate and would not come to the restaurant to spend money.

At ten o'clock in the evening, there was only one customer in the hall with fifty tables.

It was the fat woman. She ordered a table full of food, holding the roasted suckling pig in her hand, biting into it bite after bite, "Eat, I want to eat, I want to eat everything."

The door was pushed open, Yao Ruolan walked in, and slowly came to sit next to the fat woman.

After chatting with Li Mei, Yao Ruolan knew about the four-fold personality existing in Li Mei.

Fat woman, boxer, girl, detective.

She had seen the crime scene and a pile of takeaway leftovers on the table. Yao Ruolan speculated that the situation at the time of the crime might have been like this -

After Li Mei went to bed, the fat woman's personality was so hungry that she got pregnant. She got up and ordered a bunch of food and sat on the sofa to eat. Then for some reason, the fat woman jumped downstairs.

To find a glutton, try your luck in the best restaurants.

Fortunately, Yao Ruolan met the fat woman.

"Excuse me, I'm the ferryman here." Yao Ruolan said.

The fat woman had no time to respond, so she continued eating for fear of missing a bite.

"The roasted suckling pig here is not that good. I know a store that does it much better than here."

The fat woman turned her head and continued chewing food in her mouth, but she stared at Yao Ruolan and listened to her.

Yao Ruolan continued, “The method in that shop is very special, wrapping the squab in the belly of the grouper and sealing it;

Wrap the grouper into the pork belly and seal the mouth. Wrap the pork belly into the belly of the tangerine peel duck and seal the mouth.

Finally, the tangerine peel duck was wrapped in the belly of a two-month-old, 15-pound roasted suckling pig, and then the roasted suckling pig was slowly roasted on the charcoal fire for six hours. Several chefs kept beating the suckling pig with herbs and coating it with honey. Juice, jam. "

Yao Ruolan described vividly, "You can imagine, after the pig is roasted, take a big bite into it, the crispy skin of the pig, the juicy meat, and the taste of duck with tangerine peel;

Take a sip, it's the original juice of the pig belly soup. Go deep in with your tongue, and use the tip of your tongue to hook out the fish meat of Gudong Star Spot. Finally, your tongue can no longer be extended. Find a straw and insert it into the pigeon's belly. That mouthful of pigeon soup is really delicious. , tsk tsk tsk. Five layers of texture, layers of juice. "

"Where is it? Take me there." The fat woman put down the roasted suckling pig and grabbed Yao Ruolan with her greasy hands.

Yao Ruolan gave up and said, "Of course it's okay to go. I'll invite you. But before I go, I want to know something. You have to answer me honestly. After that, we will go and have a good meal."

"what's up?"

"On the day of the crime, was it you who ended up in Li Mei's body?"

"Yes."

"So you jumped from the 33rd floor?"

The fat woman nodded.

"Why did you jump?"

"I do not know."

"You don't know?" Yao Ruolan was stunned.

The fat woman said that after she got up that night, she was really hungry, so she ordered a lot of takeout. Half an hour later, all the takeaways were delivered, and she sat on the sofa to eat.

As she was eating, she suddenly felt very irritable, as if she kept hearing strange sounds.

"Strange noise? Can you describe it?"

"Hiss, hiss." The fat woman said, "It's like the sound made by a snake sticking out its tongue. How can I describe the sound? In reality, it may be very soft and cannot be heard, but it is the brain." She emphasized, "It comes from the brain. This sound led me to think of some images - as if there were nine shiny black snakes crawling in my head, and I got goosebumps all over my body just thinking about it."

"and then?"

"I felt cold, and I saw that the floor-to-ceiling windows were open, and the wind was blowing the curtains. I stood up, walked to the balcony, and wanted to close the window and door, but at that moment."

The fat woman pressed her head, "I felt like the nine-headed snakes that were associated in my brain and couldn't be dissipated... suddenly, all the nine snakes raised their heads and inserted one end into my brain, cutting it off. Some nerve of mine.”

"It's so scary, so scary." The fat woman trembled, "I suddenly had a strong feeling and wanted to die. I went to the balcony, climbed over the guardrail, and jumped down."

"Is this the whole thing?"

"That's it."

After listening, Yao Ruolan fell into deep thought, why did the fat woman suddenly want to die?

She said she heard something and saw a hydra.

snake? Yao Ruolan suddenly remembered - Alai, Li Mei's first husband, also said he saw a snake before he died.

Yao Ruolan recalled what Alai said. He was running in the mountains with stolen cultural relics. Hissing and hissing sounds suddenly lingered in his mind. He had hallucinations in front of his eyes. Nine giant pythons appeared. He was frightened and accidentally fell into Into the quagmire.

The experiences of the fat woman and Alai before their death were very similar.

What "things" are common in these two cases?

Yao Ruolan thought of seeing the shiny ornament on Li Mei's coffee table, a piece of jade with nine snakes wrapped around it.

Nine Snake Jade Ruyi.

Before Alai and the "fat woman" died, they both held the Nine Snake Jade Ruyi.

The visions they saw and the sounds they heard were all about snakes. Could it be that Nine Snake Jade is causing trouble?

But how can this object "kill people"? Is it a curse? Is it a curse from the tomb owner?

No, such baseless and illusory resentment cannot exist in reality.

But it should be the Nine Snake Jade Ruyi. It plays a certain role. For example, it emits a poisonous smell that can affect the brain nerves.

Yao Ruolan asked the fat woman, "Did you smell any special smell before you died?"

Weird smell? The fat woman thought for a while and shook her head.

It wasn't the smell. Alai also didn't say he smelled anything strange. Yao Ruolan continued to think.

Is it powder? Is Nine Snake Jade Ruyi coated with poisonous powder?

It is unlikely that the Nine Snake Jade Ruyi seen in Li Mei's home was very polished, indicating that Li Mei had previously wiped off the mud and dust on the surface of this cultural relic.

If Yu Ruyi's body was poisonous, Li Mei would have died early in the morning, and there would be no way he could wait until he fell asleep before letting the fat woman get on him.

The fat woman has never touched Yu Ruyi. There is only delicious food in her world.

In other words, the Nine Snake Jade Ruyi is placed on the table. It has no contact with the fat woman, and the fat woman does not smell any strange smell. So how does the Nine Snake Jade Ruyi "control" the fat woman's nerves?

Or maybe - a bold guess was formed in Yao Ruolong's reasoning.

wind.

is the wind.
