Half River Autumn Moon and River Spring [Rat and Cat]

The person who died was Lin You whom Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang met last night, the son of Lin Shangshu.

When Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang came to the scene of the crime with Gongsun, they were all shocked by the scene in the room, and the wealthy sons who were with Lin You at that time were all scared and ran aside to vomit .

The room is full of threads, strands of thin threads, like spider silk, entangled everywhere.

As for Lin You, his hair was disheveled and he was hung in a pile of threads. His face, hands, body, and legs were all pierced by those thin threads, and the roots that penetrated were still dripping with blood. His body was hanging vertically in the air. , with his head drooping, his eyes wide open, and his mouth slightly opened because of the line, as if he was talking about something...

The whole scene was bloody and bloody.

Zhan Zhao frowned. Although he didn't like Lin You very much, it was too much to see him being mutilated in this way. Moreover, what was the murderer's purpose in making the crime scene like this?

"No one has been in there?"

Butler Lin on the side nodded.

"Does Master Shang Shu know about this?"

"My master and wife already knew about it. The wife passed out after seeing it. The master is inviting a doctor to help the wife see a doctor."

Zhan Zhao sighed, turned his head and continued to look at this weird room, thinking that the threads are so arranged that no one can get in at all, if they go in, they have to break all those threads, he was still thinking, when Gongsun He picked up a thread and pulled it lightly.

Then, everyone saw that the hanging corpse in the middle of the room suddenly moved by itself.

His mouth was slightly open, as if smiling, and his hands and feet were swinging up and down, as if walking. However, such movements involved the wound, and more blood dripped down, forming a blood puddle on the ground.

Several timid servants screamed in fright.

A corpse, stumbling and moving in the air, with a creepy smile on the corner of its mouth...

Gongsun looked at Zhan Zhao: "Do you think he looks a bit like this?"

Zhan Zhao said, "Like what?"

"puppet."

Zhan Zhao looked back at Bai Yutang who was speaking: "Puppet?"

Bai Yutang nodded: "When I was young, I saw some entertainers who threaded dolls made of cloth and wood, and then made a set for them to make money by playing."

Zhan Zhao turned his head and looked at the corpse who was smiling strangely because the corner of his mouth was pulled: "Then... this is too scary, right?"

Gongsun raised his head and took a closer look at the seemingly disorganized threads in the room: "Fifth Master, help me see if these threads are all involved in a certain part of the corpse, as long as one of the threads is moved, the corpse will follow." move?"

Bai Yutang said: "Well, that's true, but I don't quite understand why the murderer made the crime scene so complicated. It's much more difficult than killing a person directly."

"Perverted mentality is often difficult to figure out." Zhan Zhao waved towards Wang Chao and Ma Han behind him, "Put down the corpse first, and I will trouble the husband to help with evidence collection and autopsy later."

Gongsun replied "Yes".Zhan Zhao asked the butler Lin of the Shangshu Mansion to come back to question him. It turned out that the young master of the Lin family returned to the Shangshu Mansion after he had a fight with Zhan Zhao and the others last night. When he came back, he just went into his room and smashed things. This young master has had a bad temper since he was a child, so when the servants saw the young master lost his temper, no one dared to approach him. Later, it is estimated that the young master was tired of smashing, or he didn't smash things because he lost everything. Anyway, the room There was no sound, but in the morning when people came to ask the young master to wake up for dinner, they found that their young master had died tragically in his room like this, in a horrible death!

Zhan Zhao asked around and came back, and found that everyone said the same thing, and no suspicious person was found in the mansion, so he had to seal the scene and bring the body back to Kaifeng mansion for autopsy.

On the way back to Kaifeng Mansion, Bai Yutang was always absent-minded. Seeing that Bai Yutang was silent, Zhan Zhao poked him in the face. When Bai Yutang turned his head, he saw Zhan Zhao looking at him and said, "What are you thinking?"

Bai Yutang shook his head: "It's nothing, it's just that I have a strange feeling in my heart."

"Strange feeling?"

"Well, I always feel that something else will happen."

Zhan Zhao was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed: "Hey, the Bai Wuye I know is not someone who likes to make assumptions based on his feelings."

Bai Yutang was still thoughtful, Zhan Zhao still wanted to talk, but someone shouted from a long distance: "Boss, boss, you are back, someone brought something to Kaifeng mansion, saying it was for Bai Wuye!"

Zhao Hu panted and ran to Zhan Zhao, pointed at Bai Yutang and said, "Fifth Master, go back and have a look, Fourth Master couldn't bear his temper, so he just opened the box, and the things inside were really...really ...unbelievable!"

Zhan Zhao asked curiously, "What's inside?"

Zhao Hu continued to pant: "Go and see for yourself..."

When Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao came to Jiang Ping's room, they saw a group of servants surrounded there. Zhan Zhao dragged Bai Yutang in, and saw Jiang Ping sitting on the bed in the room, holding something, looking Stare in amazement.

After Zhan Zhao brought Bai Yutang in, everyone looked at Bai Yutang in unison, then they all looked at the things in Jiang Ping's hands, and then turned their heads to look at Bai Yutang... Bai Yutang was inexplicably looked at, I heard Jiang Ping sigh a few times, and said: "Like, really like, how can it be so similar?"

Bai Yutang frowned.

Zhan Zhao hurriedly asked, "What does it look like?"

Jiang Ping paused for a moment, then turned the things in his hands to face Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang.

Zhan Zhao's eyes widened slowly.

What Jiang Ping holds in his hand is a puppet doll, but this puppet doll is not an ordinary puppet on the street. The skill of the puppet is so high... It's just that this puppet doll is very similar to a person in terms of clothing, demeanor, eyebrows, and expression.

Zhan Zhao looks back at Bai Yutang.

Snow brocade-like white silk and satin, slightly lazy eyes, a touch of white silver in the long black hair, a cold and unrestrained expression... It's clear, it's clear, it's the miniature version of Bai Yutang! ! !

Holding the puppet doll in his hands, Jiang Ping smiled at Bai Yutang and said, "I said, fifth, which girl's soul are you hooking up? See, she thinks of you, and she can do it so vividly. This is ingenious!"

The moment Bai Yutang saw the puppet doll, he had a vague premonition in his heart, but he couldn't grasp it.

Zhan Zhao took the doll over, touched his head, and tugged at his nose: "Who sent this?"

Zhao Hu on the side managed to dismiss those servants of the Kaifeng mansion who were watching the excitement, and then replied: "We don't know who sent it, anyway, when Zhang Long and I were going to patrol the streets, we found a bag at the door. It was a big well-made box, and it was written to Bai Wuye, neither of us dared to delay, we just took it in, but the fourth master saw it and insisted that we open it to see what's inside."

Zhan Zhao put the doll next to Bai Yutang for comparison, and sighed, "It's really the same."

Bai Yutang wanted to reach out to grab the puppet doll, but Zhan Zhao dodged it. Bai Yutang pursed his lips and said, "Cat, there's something wrong with this thing, throw it away."

Before Zhan Zhao could speak, Jiang Ping said in displeasure, "What are you throwing away? This thing looks like it was made with great effort. Even if you are not interested in other girls, you can't just ruin their intentions, right? "

Bai Yutang said: "Fourth brother, it's not a girl."

"Not a girl? Then which guy can be so boring, imitate your movements and expressions so thoroughly, and spend so much time giving you this thing?"

Bai Yutang thought for a while, and was rarely silent.

Zhan Zhao suddenly said, "Could it be that it's Devil Weeping Jia Ye?"

"Devil May Cry Jiaye?" Jiang Ping blinked, "Zhan Xiaomao, are you talking about that freak that almost turned me into a dead mouse?"

Zhan Zhao nodded: "When we met him, he once said that he would help Yutang make an identical puppet...so..."

"You can't keep this thing, cat, give it to me."

"what are you going to do?"

"Burned."

Zhan Zhao said: "Don't, even if you want to destroy it, you need to ask Mr., I feel that this puppet will be related to this case... Besides, this puppet looks so similar to you, if there is any aura or something, It cannot be disposed of at will..."

"And this case? You mean..."

Zhan Zhao said: "The layout of the crime scene is very reminiscent of that person, Yutang, things won't be that simple."

Bai Yutang said, "Okay, then I'll ask Mr. after the autopsy is over."

……

At the time of Gongsun's autopsy, Zhan Zhao took Bai Yutang to take a nap for a while. After all, he fainted all night last night, and his head was still a little groggy, and Bai Yutang took care of him all night and didn't get a good rest, so Zhan Zhao didn't want to drag him. Hold Bai Yutang to take a nap, Bai Yutang didn't really want to sleep at first, but the cat dragged him to lie down and fell asleep after a while, Bai Yutang felt helpless, looked at Zhan Zhao's sleeping face, and closed his eyes obediently eyes.

However, this closure made him have an extremely strange dream.

In the dream, someone covered his eyes with a snow-white cloth, and the world became pure white, and he couldn't see anything.

When he lifted the cloth over his eyes, he saw bright red blood all over his body.

But, it wasn't his blood.

With the knife in his hand, blood was dripping drop by drop, the world was still white, and the blood fell on the ground, blooming into bright plum blossoms.

A person fell in front of him, his eyes closed tightly, motionless, and his body was dripping with blood.

Bai Yutang was so frightened that he sat up all of a sudden, and exclaimed, "Cat!"

His heartbeat was indescribably fast, and Bai Yutang was panting heavily in shock.

"what happened?"

Bai Yutang turned his head and saw that Zhan Zhao was rubbing his eyes and looking at him strangely. He hugged Zhan Zhao involuntarily and began to tremble even when he spoke: "Cat, cat... I had a dream..."

Zhan Zhao was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself what kind of horrible dream did the rat have to scare him like this, he had never seen him lose his composure before: "What dream?"

Bai Yutang choked for a long time, his eyes were sore, after a while, he choked up and said, "I dreamed that I killed you, cat..."
