"The victim's name is Hai Dagui. He was in the construction material business and had some assets. He had a wife and a daughter, but they were divorced. The daughter was given to the wife.
"The body was found around 10: 30 am. The person who found the body was an hourly worker hired by the victim's family.
"The security guard in the residential area said that the victim came back at 11: 00 pm last night and didn't go out after that. The surveillance video showed that no one had been here. The doors and windows were all closed … "
However, when Lin Feng arrived at the scene with his men, the people who had arrived earlier had already collected a lot of information.
Lin Feng immediately led his men to walk around the victim's house carefully, but they didn't find any clues.
The victim had been hanged. However, the forensic doctor hadn't arrived yet, so the body wasn't taken down for the time being. The police who had arrived earlier had limited tools, and they were also afraid that they would destroy useful information, so they just hung the body up.
"There aren't any useful clues. It seems that we can only wait for the forensic doctor to examine it carefully," Lin Feng thought to himself.
Sure enough, not long after, Lin Feng heard Xiao Bao's voice coming from outside the door. However, when he turned around, the first person he saw wasn't Xiao Bao, but a cold-looking woman who was about 27 or 28 years old with short hair.
The first impression Lin Feng had of this woman was that she was cold. Then, he felt that she was capable and experienced. Then, she had a good figure and an above average face. Coupled with her unique temperament, it was actually a bonus. Even so, she still made people stay away from her.
Medical Examiner Nan, the new medical examiner, was the person who had replaced Section Chief Qin. When Medical Examiner Nan arrived, Director Liu led her to greet the main people in charge of each department. He heard that she had graduated from the same school as Section Chief Qin, but was a few years behind. She was Old Qin's junior sister.
It was natural to greet each other when they met. Lin Feng greeted her naturally. Medical Examiner Nan nodded. After asking about the situation, she started to work directly. Xiao Bao, on the other hand, was busy with his work. Perhaps he was scolded by his new boss because he didn't come earlier?
The whole process was carried out in silence. When Lin Feng focused most of his attention on the black silk stockings worn by Medical Examiner Nan, she had already finished her work temporarily.
"The preliminary diagnosis is suicide."
"Oh … Suicide, yes. Suicide? " Lin Feng, who finally woke up from his daydream of those beautiful legs, was startled. "How do you judge?"
"This is just a preliminary judgment, not the final result." Dr. Nan began to take off the rubber gloves on his hands. "There are no signs of a struggle at the scene of death. Other than the constriction on the victim's neck, there are no obvious fatal injuries, but …"
Just when Dr. Nan was about to explain his preliminary judgment, a police officer suddenly rushed over. "Officer Lin, we found it. The victim really committed suicide!"
Lin Feng was taken aback. As for Dr. Nan, he frowned. Clearly, he did not like to be interrupted.
"What did you find?" Lin Feng was curious.
The police officer hurriedly took out a laptop, which was placed on the coffee table.
When they entered the room, the laptop's screen was facing the deceased, but it had run out of battery and shut down automatically. The technician plugged it in and spent some time to crack the password before turning it on.
"I'm guilty, I …"
The man in the video said a lot of things in front of the camera, from how he started his business by doing bad things to what he had done over the years.
At last, the man started his own action — he walked to the stool, hung the rope, and kicked the stool away.
The man hung himself, and then began to struggle instinctively. Soon, he stopped moving and died.
And this man was the deceased, Hai Dagui …
"I'll go back first."
The new Dr. Nan said directly after the video, and then left with Xiao Bao, leaving Lin Feng and the others in a daze …
"Officer Lin, this … what should we do next?"
Lin Feng thought for a while, "Continue the investigation, and then write a report. If there's nothing else, we'll close the case and issue a death certificate. Let the family come to collect the body."
"Oh, okay."
…
…
"Yes, we didn't find it before." The servant girl looked around, "Maybe it's because of the absence of the shop."
That was probably the case. Luoqiu nodded.
Although one's consciousness could radiate outwards and observe the entire place at all times and record everything, no matter how big or small, no one was interested in watching the development of everything all the time … At most, they would pay attention to some important areas and observe carefully.
Except for some guests, Luo Qiu didn't pay attention to many things.
"Master, do you want to go in and have a look?" The servant girl asked softly.
Luoqiu thought for a while, and nodded since there was nothing special to do. When he walked into the alley, he seemed to pass through some invisible thin film, which seemed to be some means of vigilance and selection.
…
There was a five-step staircase in front of the shop — it was in a place similar to the basement.
It was a very small doorway, only about sixty centimeters wide.
The light pipe was on, but it was the kind of light pipe that was about to die. The white light was dim, like gray — after opening the door, they still needed to go down a few more steps. The overall space was not large, only a dozen square meters, which was at most the size of a bedroom.
There were not many things in the room. There was a particularly large and exaggerated desk, an old sofa, and then a room full of cabinets, which occupied three walls — and a small room, which should be the bathroom.
There were many books on the cabinets that occupied almost all the walls — almost all of them were books, with only a few decorations.
One of the decorations was a crystal skull — which aroused Luoqiu's curiosity. Because Luoqiu remembered that he had such a crystal skull, but that was a long time ago.
Now this skull was placed in the storeroom. It was one of the few things that Luoqiu collected in the storeroom after he became the boss.
A person was lying on the sofa, covering his face with a book, so his face could not be seen clearly. But the birdcage on the large desk attracted his attention.
Because it was a crow that was locked up here.
At this time, the crow suddenly cried, flapping its wings, making a noisy sound, and it said, "Idiot 24, get up, idiot 24, get up …"
Like a parrot, the crow in the cage kept crying, and its voice was harsh.
The person lying on the sofa grabbed the thick book that covered his face and threw it out, which hit the cage directly — the cage was also amazing, it did not fall down, and seemed to be fixed on the table. The crow immediately stopped crying, folded its wings, and only stared at the cage with its eyes.
"Sorry … this guy needs to be trained since childhood …"
On the sofa, the person lying on the sofa sat up lazily, yawning.
His messy curly hair almost covered his eyes, but the visible bags under his eyes were covered with a layer of gray. He looked like a patient with deep blindness.
He was young, about 25 or 26 years old … The young man stood up like a sleepy person, yawning again, and then walked to the table with his back hunched. He sat down and said, "Please sit down."
Although the young man looked sloppy, the small basement was unusually clean, and everything was placed neatly — even the thick book that the young man had just thrown out, after hitting the cage, automatically flew back to the wall cabinet.
The servant girl pulled out the chair in front of the table for her master to sit down.
At this time, the mysterious young man slightly opened his eyes, and then a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, and then he said in surprise, "Alchemy puppet? What a delicate work … I didn't expect there to be such advanced technology here. "
Hearing this, the servant girl slightly frowned, but she didn't say anything, because Luoqiu was here — her master was also looking at this mysterious young man.
At the same time, the servant girl was more and more amazed.
She was very clear about what this mysterious young man was trying to pry. If it was in the past, this kind of prying would have brought great fear to this mysterious young man — Shinryū of Chellona had tried to pry several times, and then he was sealed as a child, and lived through a difficult period.
Since this young man was fine, it naturally meant that her master had grown to the point where he could restrict the automatic operation of the club.
However, this mysterious young man was able to see through the layer of illusion that she had put up …
"Hello." Luoqiu greeted first.
"Hello." The mysterious young man also nodded, and his sleepy appearance seemed to have woken up a little, and his sitting posture was also a little better, "You two don't have anything to do here, right?"
He didn't care about the calmness of this man and the alchemy puppet — after all, they were obviously the type with power, and obviously wouldn't be surprised by the abnormality here — or in other words, they would be frightened by the supernatural power here.
Luoqiu smiled, "We just passed by and came in to have a look out of curiosity … The House of Curses, may I ask what this place does?"
The young man was very direct, "Just like the name of this house you saw. Curses, to kill people with curses. Of course, this place accepts curses from customers. "
"Oh?" Luoqiu nodded, "Then … how much is the fee?"
The young man smiled, "It depends on the situation, and also the target of the curse. If the target of the curse is more difficult, the fee will naturally be higher. If the fee is too high, even if a name is exchanged for a life, I may not accept it, it also depends on my mood. "
Luoqiu thought for a while, and asked curiously, "Is it just a curse?"
The young man shrugged and said, "It can also make people unlucky, such as tripping when walking, choking when eating, suddenly falling sick, often having nightmares, suddenly withering or directly unable to lift up when doing things, and relatively, it's very cheap."
"How's the business?" Luoqiu asked again.
The young man was stunned, but also answered, "It's just opened, it's still quiet for now, but there are already a few customers."
Luoqiu nodded, then stood up, and smiled, "Sorry to bother you, I'll visit again if I have the chance, Mr. 24."
"Oh … Okay." The young man nodded subconsciously.
After that, Luoqiu walked up the stairs, and as for the servant girl, she pushed the chair back to its original place — this action naturally made the young man feel very comfortable, but the servant girl's following gaze made the young man shudder.
Knowing that the two had left, the young man frowned, "Damn it … How can there be such a powerful alchemy puppet in this sub-world? An immortal puppet? And this man, compared to the original body, is he … immortal? Supreme? "
He couldn't help but ponder.
…
Now he was very weak, not even one ten-thousandth of the original body … And it was just an accident that he came here.
Everything was because more than two months ago, a space-time disorder caused a crack to appear in this sub-world, and he, who was exploring in the endless space-time, released a thought out of curiosity, and entered this sub-world through the crack.
But unexpectedly, the crack was directly fixed in a short time, which caused the connection between him and the original body to be directly cut off, and a trace of his consciousness could only stay here.
The original body might not care about the disappearance of this trace of consciousness, but as a trace of consciousness trapped in this sub-world, he didn't want to hide like a turtle until it was obliterated, or even swallowed.
Yes, it would be swallowed.
Because at the moment when this sub-world suddenly had a space-time disorder, in addition to him, there were several different strong consciousnesses, who also split their consciousnesses to explore this sub-world.
He was afraid that the others were like him. Because the crack was repaired too quickly, the split consciousnesses were trapped here …
If they reached the level of immortality like his original body, they would naturally understand what benefits they could get if they could swallow the other party's consciousness.
Moreover, without the recognition of this sub-world's consciousness, he was like an unregistered resident of space-time, and needed to be careful — but if he kept curling up, it was not a solution … So, he began to do his old business again, doing the business many years ago, when he was just a weak conjurer.
Thinking of this, the young man rubbed his chin. "Speaking of which, this sub-world is really interesting. The concentration of elements here has suddenly increased, and it's still increasing. It's almost catching up with that half-demon sub-world that we've explored before …"
At this time, the young man 24 suddenly felt the table shake slightly.
He opened the drawer under the table, took out a mobile phone, glanced at it, and smiled, "Oh, there's a business … It's best to never wake up? What the hell, such a low-level request … Forget it, even mosquitoes have meat. "
…
"Immortal life?"
On the way back, Luoqiu stopped, this was Miss Maid's opinion.
"Yes, there's eternity above immortality. But it's not really eternity, at best it can only be regarded as pseudo-eternity. Even eternity has its strong and weak, for example, the one in Heaven can be regarded as the top pseudo-eternity, also known as the 'Threshold One.' " Miss Maid nodded, "Of course, this is just a name for the life that transcends the sub-world's consciousness in some sub-worlds, generally popular in the sub-worlds dominated by magic. For example, the immortals that once appeared in this sub-world where master is now are also the same. "
"Magic …" Luoqiu nodded.
For the boss, the most intuitive impression of magic was a boy with glasses with lightning on his forehead in a movie.
Miss Maid said again, "Although it's very weak, the owner of this haunted house has a trace of incongruity, so he shouldn't belong to this sub-world … This is a bit strange. Generally speaking, even between the two sub-worlds that are relatively adjacent, there is a very difficult to break defense. Just like the Transcendents, although it's possible to travel between different sub-worlds through the dimensional crevice, the Transcendents will generally be infected with a trace of the unique aura of the dimensional crevice … It's a kind of mark of the dimensional crevice's origin. But the owner of this haunted house doesn't have it, so he should have come here through some means, and he just came here not long ago. "
Basically, it's very close to the truth … You Ye's speculation.
Luoqiu nodded. He really didn't intend to waste time on this investigation, so he directly bought the information. After reading the information, the origin of the young man became clear.
