Reading Agreement

Shi Zhen gave him a strange look, raised his eyebrows, and moved on.

The two walked for about ten minutes, and the paintings on both sides stretched all the way. Finally, after a turn, they reached the end point, a round room without a door, or a round space without a door and no window .At this time, the abstract painting continues to extend to the inner wall of the room, runs through the arc wall from one side, and after a circle, it is derived from the wall on the other side.The overall picture narrows moderately after entering the space, accounting for only one-third of the entire wall, with a height of about one meter. It is planned in the middle of the wall, and it plays an appropriate role of embellishment and decoration.

In addition, a half-meter-high platform is built in the middle of the circular room, decorated with richly colored floral marble tiles, a wooden board is tightly stitched on it, and a person is lying flat on it.

The man had a head of gray hair, which fell neatly from the top of his head, covering the top of the platform.She is in her sixties and seventies, and there are obvious signs of aging on her face, but she has not yet fully entered the old state, her expression is quite peaceful, like a deep sleep.

The old man did not wear the shroud for burial, but a blue cheongsam with silk satin trim, lake blue leather half-high heels, and folded his hands on his abdomen, outlining the smooth body shape on both sides.

Seeing the scene on the platform, Shi Zhen couldn't help frowning slightly. He clearly remembered that the one who attacked them in the corridor that day was a gray-haired monster wrapped in a ragged robe. Could it be such a kind-hearted The old man turned into?In order to get an answer, Shi Zhen asked the people around him, "Have you seen a tattered robe?"

"There is a rag, but not a robe." The investigator on one side raised the transparent bag in his hand.

"Go and have a look." Situ Feng was originally standing at the door, and when he saw the evidence, he wanted to go and see it.

Knowing his character, Shi Zhen was most afraid of encountering strange events, so he stopped him and told him to wait while he went to collect the evidence.

After getting the evidence, Shi Zhen checked it repeatedly. It was a thin piece of red rags. It was hard to tell how it was damaged, but the color was somewhat similar to the reddish brown he saw yesterday.So he looked up and asked, "Where did you find the fabric?"

The investigator replied: "The back of the shoe is pressed down."

"Shoe?" Shi Zhen walked to the foot of the corpse, and the investigator told him that the rag was pressed under the heel of his right shoe, and a small part was still hanging in the shoe.

hanging?Shi Zhen blinked, thinking that the strip of cloth might have been left behind at the scene after he didn't pay attention when changing his shoes. From this, it can be seen that the old lady is very likely to have left it at the scene after they left yesterday. For a period of time, someone deliberately changed clothes.Thinking of this, he walked to the soles of his feet, inspected the soles, and touched the shoes with his index finger. Sure enough, as he expected, the soles were very clean, and they were completely new shoes that had never touched the ground.

These shoes have never been off the ground.Shi Zhen looked at the blue leather shoes, took the gloves handed over by others, put them on, and took off the old man's blue half-high heels. Finally, a pair of dirty soles were revealed that did not match the overall atmosphere.

Those feet were wearing transparent silk stockings, and when they encountered dirt and dust, they were like plastering with a cloth, which was particularly easy to appear dirty and obvious.At this moment, the soles of the old man's feet have been completely dyed black and gray, as if running barefoot on the dirty ground for a long time, they are so black and shiny, which is in stark contrast to her clean attire at the moment.

"The soles of your feet are dirty, why did you walk on the ground beforehand?" Shi Zhen reminded the investigators.

A few people gathered around, and they were also tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-twiddled, and they couldn't help but feel a little nervous.So, I used work to solve the fear, put up the signs, took pictures for records, and was very busy.

Shi Zhen returned to the corpse again, and began to examine it by himself.The old lady had no obvious trauma, and her expression was peaceful, as if she died of natural causes.Her nails were neatly trimmed and even polished, making them look particularly smooth.Shi Zhen asked for a cotton swab, wiped it between his fingers, and sniffed it under his nose. A smell of ink floated into his nose in an instant.Has anyone come to fix the nails?Is it Boss Yu?

"How long has it been since the old lady passed away?" Shi Zhen put the cotton swab in the evidence bag and handed it to the investigator.

"It is expected to be within twelve hours." The investigator on one side said.

"Twelve hours?" Shi Zhen thought for a while. The time of the old lady's death was from nine o'clock yesterday to nine o'clock this morning. That is to say, she was still alive in the afternoon and still had a breath.At that time, was she a human or a monster? "Do you have her identity information?" Shi Zhen asked the people around again.

"Not yet." Situ Feng replied: "There is no identity proof at the scene."

"Oh. What's under this board?" Shi Zhen took a look at the wooden board where the corpse was placed. It wasn't a door board, nor was it a building material. The texture was quite unfamiliar, and he didn't know what special material it was.In general customs, the corpse will be placed on the door panel, on the one hand, it means that the family cannot close the door, waiting for the soul to return; on the other hand, it also represents the door leading to the other side.Of course, the most important thing is that people are prone to stiffness after death, and it is convenient to put them on the door panel for encoffining.

"It should also be a platform." Situ Feng walked up a few steps, probably because there were already many people in this secret room, so he was much less afraid.

"Don't come here, you will have psychological shadows." Shi Zhen stopped him and told him to stand at the door and wait.Then, he knocked on the wooden board on which the old lady was lying, and heard an empty sound, and there seemed to be articles underneath.So, he called several other investigators to work together to remove the woodblock on the platform.

The moment the wooden board was moved away, a strong stench gushed out, instantly filling the entire circular room, followed by an extremely horrific scene in the eyes of everyone, frightening a staff member, who kicked his feet I shivered and almost fell.

It turned out that the inside of the platform was not solid, but a hollow oval space was carved out, half a meter wide and two meters long, without any decoration, and still retains the texture of cement and lime.At this time, in the hollow space, there are two people lying, two corpses superimposed and bound together from top to bottom.

The deceased above was a woman, in her forties, with short-to-medium-length hair, wearing a light gray professional suit, her eyes were wide open, almost out of the frame, bloodshot densely covered the white eyeballs, and there was a horrible look that was about to burst. terror.At this time, her head was powerlessly tilted to one side, and a transparent leather tube with a diameter of about five centimeters and a length of nearly one meter was inserted into her mouth.The connection between the leather tube and the mouth is not only wrapped with waterproof glue, but also covered with white glue, which seems to be fully leak-proof, but there is nothing inside the leather tube.

The deceased below is a 1.8-meter-tall male, nearly [-] years old, wearing a casual T-shirt, his head is in a strange state, it seems to be tilted to the left, and it seems that he wants to see a woman from the front Poked his head out from behind, expressing something.A transparent leather tube of the same length was also inserted into his mouth, and the edges of the mouth and the leather tube were also specially treated to prevent leaks, and the leather tube was still empty.

"Boss Yu." With just one glance, Shi Zhen recognized the man. He was the businessman in District Y, Old Yutou.

A circle of people surrounded the platform, staring closely at the two dead in the oval space.They were superimposed into a pair, tightly bound together with thick hemp rope, like expired food sold at a discount in the supermarket, waiting for someone to pick.Their eyes and expressions were full of fear and despair, in stark contrast to the serene expression of the old lady lying by the wall.In addition to these, there was also the leather tube that went to nowhere, and the almost abnormal leak-proof measures, which also created a paradoxical atmosphere in the whole scene out of thin air, making people feel abnormal wherever they looked.

"Hiding corpses, stacking, monsters... no way." A bunch of information rushed towards Shi Zhen, causing a strange doubt in his heart.But he just glanced at the two corpses indifferently, and didn't say a word about the concerns in his heart. He only suggested that Situ Feng ask the investigators to check whether there was any substance on the leather tube...

Situ Feng said by the door: "I know, our company needs the investigation report to close the case, and all the evidence will be confirmed." Because the Y-area material control center often exchanges strange goods, it will often produce strange moths. , Naturally, they will often trouble the Crime Bureau. It is not a matter of a day or two for them to help each other.

Shi Zhen walked back to the door and blocked his sight: "Don't look, you will have nightmares at night. Remember, check the material of that board again. And the identity of the old lady, the identity of the first corpse, Send me a message if you find it.”

Situ Feng nodded, and then asked, "Are you leaving?"

Shi Zhen asked: "Is there anything else you want to show me?"

"Not anymore." Situ Feng shook his head.

"Boss Yu is already inside," Shi Zhen pressed Situ Feng's head, which was curiously looking in, "Listen up. You can check on Boss Yu's recent financial situation, how many shops have been closed, who bought them, and how much it cost. How much is it. Also, check the decoration. Also, go to his house to check the situation, check whether he has other shops, the situation of the house, and family members."

"Oh, I know." Situ Feng nodded vigorously.

Shi Zhen continued: "It's best to find out his recent account records, that is, transaction records."

"Why don't you take this case." Situ Feng said suddenly: "There are so many things... I can't handle it well. I'm just a business person. I don't want to keep going to the crime bureau. I'm afraid."

"One more thing, don't disturb my grandfather." Shi Zhen ignored his request and threatened him instead.

Situ Feng was not discouraged, and said in a low voice: "I know that your investigation is very expensive, I can apply for the fee."

"I'm short of money?" Shi Zhen raised his eyebrows and sneered.

"No, no, we don't talk about money." Situ Feng almost hugged Shi Zhen's arm and begged, "Tell me something you can't get, and I'll get it for you. You can investigate the case for me. Boss Yu owes you money." Our company has a lot of money, if this case cannot be concluded, it will become an unsolved case, and our final payment will never be recovered, which will affect the performance at the end of the year, and also affect the promotion and salary increase to reach the pinnacle of life.”

Shi Zhen: "..."

Situ Feng begged in every possible way: "Please."

Shi Zhen said: "Why bother, you are looking for your father..."

"Please, sign a barter contract, and I guarantee you won't suffer." Situ Feng interrupted him with a mournful expression.

Shi Zhen was annoyed by his pulling his arm. He glanced inside and said, "When their investigation report comes out, if there is any progress, you can follow the idea of ​​the crime bureau. If it doesn't work out, you can come to me again."

"You must have seen something." Situ Feng is so smart that he can see through Shi Zhen's mind at a glance.

Shi Zhen tried to pull out his arm, and said: "This matter is a bit complicated, and I also need to clear my mind. Don't worry, there are still several months before the end of the year, and you still have many opportunities to improve your performance. As for going to life Fengfeng, as long as you want, I can introduce Bai Fumei to you, and help you get married together, and maybe even become a CEO, what do you think?"

Situ Feng said helplessly: "Okay, I'll pass it on to you after the investigation here, and I'll trouble you then."

Shi Zhen hummed, and went out without looking back.

Walking in the long aisle, the abstract paintings on both sides were suddenly endowed with vicious and paradoxical colors. Shi Zhen found the scraping sounds heard yesterday by the wall, and the scratches were all within a millimeter of the wall. The deep marks are one or two meters long, and they are definitely not something that ordinary people can dig out with their fingernails.

Boss Yu really made such a deal?Why did you fold yourself in without taking any safety measures?Who is this old lady, and someone is willing to pay such a big price for this?Shi Zhen walked and thought all the way, and finally returned to the courtyard amidst a large ray of light in front of him.He glanced at the position where Xiao Gong used to stand, what role did the little fox play again?Why did it appear in an extra dark room?There is no solution for the time being.
