No. 7 Fish House

Qiu Baimei's body was brought back to the police station, and after forensic examination, she was dead for more than a month.

"The deceased was tied up in front of her body. The bruises on her hands and feet can show that the murderer did tie her up according to the killing method of the hell beauty picture, and then cut off the carotid artery to die." Yu Chung held a scalpel to Yang Mingzhen. Said, "There were three wounds on her neck, and two wounds were not serious enough to cause death. The fatal injury was here."

Yu Chung pointed to the third wound, "This knife cut off her carotid artery."

Yang Mingzhen looked down at Qiu Baimei's body. It was indeed like what the painter said. The murderer didn't intend to kill Qiu Baimei at first, but just wanted to use this injury to scare the painter, hoping that he would finish the painting as soon as possible.

"In the third autumn picture of the picture of the beauty in hell, the beauty is soaked in the pond." Yu Chung said, "Qiu Baimei's body was also soaked in water."

Yang Mingzhen didn't express his opinion, still staring at the pale body soaked in water.

According to the clues provided by the painter, they found Qiu Baimei's body in the utility room of No. [-] Fish House.The painter pointed out that the appearance of the murderer was very similar to that of He Fu. Assuming that He Fu was the murderer, how could anyone hide the body in their own home after murder and wait for others to see it?This is not logical, so take a step back, maybe He Fu has a special hobby and likes to collect corpses?

If He Fu was the murderer, how did he transport the corpse into the utility room of No. [-] Fish House?One must know that the geographical location of No. [-] Fish House is not considered remote. If you want to move things in, you have to be seen by passers-by, right?If the corpse was transported in at night, why would He Fu, the murderer, let the painter see all of this?

Yang Mingzhen thought, if he was a murderer, there would definitely not be a single witness left behind after the murder, and the painter as a witness should be killed.

But they found this painter, and the case went very smoothly, and they pointed all the blame at He Fu.

Although he never believed in He Fu, he was definitely not a fool who could be manipulated by others.

Their police station hadn't made any progress for several days in a row. After finding the painter, the progress was so fast.

According to Xiao Fake's description, the two painters they found were actually fine.After Xiao false's probing, he learned that the painter Xu Min with the scar on his hand is the author of the picture of the beauty in hell.In this link, assuming that Xiao Xiao didn't lie and his memory didn't make any mistakes, then they had indeed found the sender of the painting.

But who can guarantee that the sender of the paintings is not Huang Zi sent by the murderer?

When interrogating the painter at the beginning, Yang Mingzhen also thought about this question. It was not until he heard that the murderer hid the body in the No. [-] fish house that Yang Mingzhen finally confirmed that someone wanted He Fu to take the blame.

That being the case, then he will use his tricks and take people to seal up the No. [-] fish restaurant to find the corpse.

If the artist was lying, there would not be Qiu Baimei's body in No. [-] fish restaurant.

When they actually found the corpse, Yang Mingzhen's mind was shaken. Even if He Fu didn't do this, it must have something to do with He Fu. After all, the corpse was found in his home.

Regardless of whether He Fu hid the corpse or was framed, he must find He Fu.

Yu Chun beside him was still undergoing the autopsy. He was always very careful, for fear of missing every detail.

Yang Mingzhen didn't look any further, he opened the door and ran out of the autopsy room like a gust of wind.

Xing Ting slept in Yang Mingzhen's office, not because he took charge of it, but after Yang Mingzhen identified He Fu as the murderer, he was also suspected.

With a bang, the door was pushed open, and Xing Ting was so shocked that he almost fell off the chair.As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Yang Mingzhen's face was ashen, and the assistant behind him, Cui Liang, drooped his head and said tremblingly, "Xu Min, Xu Min is dead."

Yang Mingzhen slapped the table angrily, "Didn't I tell you to keep an eye on him and his daughter!"

"No." Cui Liang defended in a low voice, "I'm talking about Xu Min's death."

Xing Ting immediately stood up and looked at the two people in front of him.

Cui Liang explained: "The other day I followed Xu Min's order to let him go home. I followed him all the way and found that after he got home, his daughter was crying loudly within half an hour after he returned to his room. Min sat by the window and didn't even move a muscle."

"We felt a little strange lying in ambush outside Xu's house. Xu Min loved his daughter very much, and it was impossible to let her cry for so long and ignore him. So our people immediately ran into Xu's house, went up to the second floor and found his room locked, I led someone to knock on the door and go in." Cui Liang paused, "Then we saw Xu Min's body sitting by the window, and his daughter was shaking Xu Min's body by the side."

With a sullen face, Yang Mingzhen asked coldly: "You said the corpse in the room is the real Xu Min, so the person who came to the police station for investigation is a fake?"

"Yes, Xu Min in the room died a long time ago." Cui Liang was afraid of being scolded by Yang Mingzhen, and his voice became smaller and smaller, "We went to Xu's house to ask Xu Min to be investigated that day, and none of us went to the second floor, so we didn't find the second floor. There is another person in Lou."

"Then why didn't you go!"

"At that time Xu Min said that his daughter was mentally handicapped and afraid of strangers, so he didn't let us go up there." Cui Liang answered truthfully.

Xing Ting tried to analyze: "If the real Xu Min is dead, he died at the same time as Qiu Baimei. For so many days, the daughter in his family has always been another pretending Xu Min. The daughter is born stupid and can't tell the difference. Perhaps it is really possible to reveal your own father."

Yang Mingzhen said angrily: "My daughter is born stupid, are you all born stupid? You can find the wrong person even if you find someone."

In order to divert Yang Mingzhen's anger, Cui Liang immediately took out the things he found, "Captain, I found this at Xu Min's home. This thing was in Xu Min's hands at the time."

Yang Mingzhen found that Cui Liang had wrapped something in a handkerchief, and when he opened it, it seemed to be a piece of human skin, the size of a thumb.

"Isn't this the painter Xu Min we interrogated that day, the scar on his hand?" Xing Ting recognized it at a glance, "I didn't expect that this kid is really good at playing, and he actually put a fake scar on himself. , this skill is really not bad, it can even fool our sharp-eyed Captain Yang Mingzhen."

The last sentence 'Fire eyes and golden eyes' was satirizing Yang Mingzhen, Yang Mingzhen naturally understood, he glared at Xing Ting, then grabbed Cui Liang and asked, "Where is Xu Min's body placed?"

Cui Liang replied: "I haven't had time to send it to the forensic doctor yet."

"Okay, I'll go and have a look in person." Yang Mingzhen ordered in a low voice, "Don't tell anyone else."

"Ah."

"Who else found Xu Min's body besides you?" Yang Mingzhen asked.

"Just us and Old Wine."

Yang Mingzhen nodded slightly after hearing this. Lao Jiu is an old police officer in their team. He is a man of duty and has no special hobbies. The only thing he likes is to drink a few sips, so everyone in the police station calls him Lao Jiu.

After he ordered Cui Liang, he grabbed Xing Ting and walked out of the office.

"Hey, I said where are you going to take me?" Xing Ting was in pain from being caught by Yang Mingzhen, and impatiently followed behind him and said, "I told you, He Fu is definitely not the murderer, How could such a stupid murderer hide the corpse in his own home and wait for you to find it, why don't you believe it now that the truth is revealed..."

Yang Mingzhen turned around and fixed his eyes on Xing Ting: "I want you to transform yourself and show me."

"What?" Xing Ting stared at Yang Mingzhen with wide eyes.

Yang Mingzhen opened the door behind him and pushed Xing Ting in. Xing Ting almost had a close contact with the corpse on the table.

"Become him."

Xing Ting stood firm and saw clearly that the corpse in front of him was Xu Min.

"Why did it become like this?" Xing Ting didn't quite understand.

"Didn't you say that you will change your face? If so, then you will become like Xu Min and go back to Xu Min's home. I want to see if the murderer will come again." Yang Mingzhen said with his arms folded, " If he dares to come, I will catch him, so that your He Fu will be cleared of suspicion. If it is He Fu who comes, then I will just catch him."

"Why are you like this? If you don't catch the murderer and I'm killed, what should I do?" Xing Ting felt wronged, why did he provoke Yang Mingzhen, a big fool.

Yang Mingzhen said: "Don't worry, I will do my best to protect you."

Xing Ting rolled his eyes, who needs your protection, I am living well by myself, but I provoked you people.

"Let me tell you first, my face doesn't last long. If I feel something is wrong, I will retreat immediately."

Yang Mingzhen agreed straight away: "Okay."

Then, Xing Ting waved at him: "Then please go out first, I don't want to be seen when I transform."

Yang Mingzhen obediently walked to the door, closed the door, and guarded the door for Xing Ting.

Less than half a stick of incense, the door opened, and Xu Min came out of the room.

Yang Mingzhen once again felt the horror of changing his face, it was exactly like Xu Min who came back from the dead like a fake.

Afterwards, Cui Liang ran in from the outside and was almost scared out of his wits when he saw Xu Min.

"Captain, cheating corpse, cheating corpse!" Cui Liang pulled out his gun in fear, and protected Yang Mingzhen behind him, "Captain, run quickly, I will cover you."

Yang Mingzhen had black lines on his face, "Hurry up and drive me and him to Xu Min's house."

"Ah?" Cui Liang looked at Yang Mingzhen in confusion, which play was this acting on?Why isn't the captain afraid at all?

Xu Min smiled slightly at Cui Liang: "Officer Cui, the steamed buns in the morning are delicious, thank you."

Cui Liang was taken aback, and he understood instantly, "You are Xing..."

"Well, let's go." Xing Ting put the hat on his head and buried Xu Min's face in the shadow.

The three set foot on the road to Xu Min's house.

There is not much time left for Xing Ting, if his face-changing is discovered by the murderer, not only will the murderer not come, but it will attract other people.

For example - hunter.

He raised his head and glanced at the almanac. Today is October [-]th of the lunar calendar, which is the day when hunters go out to hunt.

In fact, he didn't want to promise Yang Mingzhen to become Xu Min, but for He Fu's sake, he had to give it a try.

If it was He Fu who appeared here tonight, what should he do?

The wall clock on the wall moved towards ten o'clock at night, and the sky outside the window was completely dark.Xing Ting came to the window, he wanted to show his face, let the murderer know that Xu Min was still alive, and by the way, he also wanted to see where Yang Mingzhen and Cui Liang were hiding, and whether these two idiots could guarantee their safety. Safety.

In the middle of the night, there was a strong wind blowing in from the window, Xing Ting felt something strange on his face, he immediately walked over and turned off the light, then turned it on again, the light flashed three times, this was a signal to Yang Mingzhen.

Then Xing Ting walked out of Xu's house with his face covered.

Yang Mingzhen and Cui Liang watched the movement around them from a distance, and there was nothing unusual.

After Xing Ting walked over, the three of them got into the car and left together. Today's business is considered to be over.

Back at the police station, Xing Ting's face had completely recovered.

"I just told you that this plan won't work." Xing Ting whispered to Yang Mingzhen, and the two continued to walk towards the office.

"Captain, where have you been so late?" A familiar voice sounded, and the two turned their heads in unison.

Seeing Yu Chung walking towards them with an oil lamp, Xing Ting was taken aback. This scene was more like the first time he and He Fu met, when He Fu also held a lamp in his hand.

Yang Mingzhen said, "Go and have some supper."

Yu Chung smiled slightly: "Well, why didn't you call me, I stayed in the autopsy room all afternoon."

"Did you find anything?" Yang Mingzhen asked.

Yu Chung shook his head helplessly: "No."

"Then you should rest early."

"En." Yu Chung nodded, he changed into a portable oil lamp, and was about to leave here when Xing Ting saw the mark on Yu Chung's wrist.

"Forensic Doctor Yu, your wrist is bleeding." Xing Ting was a little surprised, "Did you get strangled by something?"

Yang Mingzhen also saw the marks on Yu Chung's wrist.

Yu Chung covered his wrist with his sleeve, smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if your skin gets scratched by something."

"Then you have to be careful. In case of any virus infection, I heard that there is another virus outbreak recently. Forensic doctor Yu is delicate, so you have to be careful." Xing Ting reminded him kindly, keeping his eyes on Yu Chung's blocked face. wrist.

Yu Chung nodded slightly: "Yes, you have to be careful, that corpse has been by your side for so long."

After speaking, he took the oil lamp and walked into his room.

Only then did Xing Ting look away, and followed Yu Chung back to the office.

Yang Mingzhen sighed: "I didn't gain anything all night."

"You don't, but I do." Xing Ting smiled mysteriously.

Yang Mingzhen stared at him, waiting for his next words.

"The wound on Yu Chung's hand doesn't look like a scrape." Xing Ting said, "My eyes are much better than your normal people. Although he covered it up quickly, I still saw it. The wound on his wrist was obviously caused by the rope. strangled."

"Such a thin rope." Xing Ting gestured with his fingers, "Only he has it."

Yang Mingzhen naturally knew who Xing Ting was talking about. No matter whether Xing Ting's guess was right or not, he had to pay attention to the evidence. If he asked Yu Chung rashly now, he might be alarmed.

"It's so late now, let's just sleep here for the night." Yang Mingzhen went to the cabinet and took out two quilts. Fortunately, the desk in his office was big enough to put the things on it on the ground, and the two quilts The table was put together to form a bed, and the two of them lay down on it.

"This bed is too small." Xing Ting complained wrapped in a quilt.

Yang Mingzhen snorted coldly: "It's too small, get out and sleep on the floor!"

Xing Ting was slightly angry: "You can obviously let me go back to sleep, my bed is much bigger than yours."

"No." Yang Mingzhen retorted, "Until the murderer is found, you have to sleep with me."

Xing Ting frowned, why do you think this scene is a bit weird?

"Hey, should we test Yu Chung, I think he is very suspicious." Xing Ting suggested in a low voice.

"Shut up." Yang Mingzhen said, "Whether he is suspicious or not, without evidence, don't startle him."

"Oh." Xing Ting grasped the point, "So, are you also suspicious of him?"

Yang Mingzhen stopped talking, his eyes looked at the night outside the window, it was raining heavily outside.

In fact, for a moment, he felt that no one in this world could be trusted, maybe he had been living in a huge lie, and everyone around him was lying to him.This is the feeling he has had since he was a child. When he was a child, his mother told him not to think about it at a young age.

Although he was born with a rough face, he has a more delicate mind than anyone else, but his brain reaction is slower than others, so that after staying in the police station for so many years, he is just a small policeman.After experiencing that case two years ago, he became the only surviving policeman and rescued four victims. He was commended by the police station, and then he was promoted to the captain of the police station.

"Hey, why don't you talk? If you don't talk, it will be your acquiescence." Xing Ting talked more and more, and he wanted to chat with Yang Mingzhen all night.

But Yang Mingzhen started to snore, shaking the world.

Xing Ting was speechless, he was really envious of Captain Yang's quality of sleep, and fell asleep right away.

He also closed his eyes, forget it, he was too lazy to think about it, nothing could compare to sleep.

So, have a good night's sleep.

Wake up, let's go find He Fu.
