Card Room - 325

[Chapter 475, solve the case within a limited time]

Qu Wanyue has never seen horror movies since she was a child, her parents are scientific researchers, and they have never told her about ghost stories. Now, she sees the spiritual seat full of the house with her own eyes and thinks of the bride who married out of this yard last night. , She really has the cold hair all over her body is going to stand upside down-she really lives for a long time and sees ghosts!

Long Sen is not afraid of ghosts, but, this time the secret room alternates between day and night, he is still confused.

As a sports school coach with “well-developed limbs and simple mind”, Long Sen knew that his IQ was at the bottom of the team, so he simply gave up thinking, looked at Xiao Lou, and asked seriously: “Professor Xiao, the room is full of spiritual positions. We last night The bride I saw should be a ghost bride, right? Does it mean that there is a problem with the family’s cause of death, and what we want to investigate is their cause of death?”

Xiao Lou is still not sure about the theme of this secret room, but Long Sen’s statement is the most likely. He stood by the tree and thought for a while, and said, “The death of this family is definitely not easy. You stayed outside, and I went in with Han Jiang. have a look.”

Long Sen and Qu Wanyue nodded their heads and stood guard under the tree near the yard, pretending to chat, but in fact watched.

On the other hand, Yu Hanjiang took advantage of the fact that there was no one around, and directly opened the Qinggong card, and flew into the courtyard with Xiao Lou from the treetops.

This yard has been abandoned. It should have been a long time since no one has cleaned it. The height of the weeds in the garden was almost above knees. The violent storm last night caused the old trees in the yard to break a few branches, and the stubble and rotten leaves piled up all over the ground. a mess.

Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang avoided the branches, stepped lightly, and walked forward one after the other.

This is a typical large family house. There are several small yards. The yards are connected by an arched corridor. There is a pond in the middle of the yard. Although the water in the pond has dried up because of long-term unattended The stone steps and pavilions are all exquisitely built, and the feng shui layout is also very particular. When there was no accident, the family was definitely rich.

The two walked around the pond and entered the hall.

Unlike the mess in the yard, the hall is very clean. There are no signs of fighting in the house, and the tables and chairs are neatly arranged. As Qu Wanyue said, there is an offering table in the middle of the hall with a lot of spiritual seats on it.

Xiao Lou counted them carefully, and there were three rows from top to bottom with a total of 16 spiritual positions. On each of the spiritual positions, their names were written with a red pen.

The family’s surname is Zhao, and the top row is called “Zhao Chengrui.” Xiao Lou whispered: “In the mourning hall, the elders are usually placed on the top. This Zhao Chengrui may be the grandfather of the Zhao family?”

Yu Hanjiang uttered an “um”, walked to the spiritual position, glanced across all the names, and said: “If you don’t have a surname of Zhao, you should be a woman married to Zhao’s family. The first row is the grandfather and grandmother, the second row is the parents, and the first row is the parents. The third row is the younger generation. But there are four spiritual positions in the third row. Which one is the ghost bride who married last night?”

The four names in the third row are Zhao Zeping, Zhao Zean, Zhao Zeshun, Zhao Zesui…

Xiao Lou touched his chin, looked at the three rows of spiritual positions carefully, and said: “The name of the Zhao family’s generation, the last word connected to it is’safe and smooth’. When the elders choose their names, they obviously hope that the children can grow up peacefully. Great. These four names can be used by both men and women. From the name alone, there is no way to tell which is the girl who married last night.”

Yu Hanjiang said, “With so many spiritual positions on the altar, are all this family dead?”

Xiao Lou frowned slightly: “Could it be… the killing of the door?”

Yu Hanjiang turned and looked inside the house.

The furnishings in the hall did not seem to have been fiercely fought. He doesn’t have the luminol used in modern police investigations now, he can only rely on his eyes. He swept his gaze around and found no remaining blood stains. It was not like the scene was cleaned up after the door was destroyed. It is more likely that the murder did not happen here.

Yu Hanjiang said: “Let’s check the entire yard first to see if there are any clues.”

Xiao Lou agreed: “Well, since the bride last night was married from this family, she must have her own boudoir in her natal family.”

The two left the mourning hall and turned to the backyard.

The backyard is divided into many small yards. The south yard is separated by an arched door and is the residence of the maids and servants. There are countless rooms in other yards, which shows the size of the Zhao family.

The layout of this yard is comparable to a maze. Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang had to use arrows to mark them and check them one by one. The two first found the residence of Zhao’s parents. Many hand-written scriptures and Buddhist beads were found in the house. The old people of this family obviously believed in Buddhism.

Then there was the residence of the parents’ generation, nothing special. One of the rooms found a lot of exquisite medicine bottles with the names of various medicines marked with paper labels. There should be someone in Zhao’s family who studied medicine and knew how to make pills. medicine.

The room style of the younger generation is quite different from that of the older generation. Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang quickly locked the four rooms. In order to organize clues, they named the rooms A, B, C, and D, and made accidental marks with arrows of different colors.

Room A, in addition to the reception room and the bedroom, the other suite is the weapon room. There are a row of wooden sword racks on the wall with seven swords of different lengths. These weapons should look precious. The owner of this house I like to collect famous swords.

Room B. There is a small study room next to the bedroom. There are many ancient books on the bookshelf, such as “The Book of Changes”, “The Analects”, “Mencius” and so on. The owner of this room likes to read. It is worth noting that there is also a cradle in the bedroom with a child’s toy inside. Xiao Lou picked it up and looked at it-it was a small red rattle.

Room C, at first glance, is the girl’s residence. The bed curtains and sheets are pink. There are many flowers on the bedroom windowsill. Unfortunately, most of those flowers are now withered. Only a pot of palm-sized cactus is still alive stubbornly. On her desk was a pair of white handkerchiefs with a pair of mandarin ducks embroidered on it. There were colored needles and threads beside the handkerchief, which hadn’t been finished yet.

The last room is also the girl’s residence, and a red happy character is pasted on the inner window.

Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang looked at each other and searched the room carefully.

Unfortunately, the clues in this room are the least. No special items were found in the desks, drawers, and cabinets. The wardrobe and jewelry box were half empty. It should be the girl who brought her favorite jewelry to her husband’s house when she got married.

The two went to the window and discussed in a low voice.

Xiao Lou said: “We found that there are four young people’s rooms, two men and two women. In ancient times, it was usually the older sister who married first, and the younger sister married later. What is certain is that room D is the boudoir of the ghost bride who married last night. Room C is her sister’s room. A half-embroidered handkerchief is found on the table. The embroidered mandarin duck is on the table. What do you think?”

Yu Hanjiang said: “According to your analysis, my sister hasn’t married yet, but she should have a sweetheart. She wants to embroider the mandarin duck handkerchief and give it to her partner, but unfortunately, the man will die before the embroidery is finished.”

Xiao Lou nodded: “I think so too. The mandarin duck has a special meaning, not to mention the embroidered mandarin duck, which is most likely to be given to the sweetheart.” He paused, then said: “The other two men’s rooms are filled with books. It should be the elder brother Zhao Zeping. He is married and has a child.”

Yu Hanjiang agreed: “Well, the second child is full of weapons, and he looks unmarried. The question now is, how should the four children be sorted? The first child should be the second child, the third child, and the fourth child, who is the male. Who is a woman?”

Xiao Lou thought about the four names, and said: “I feel that Zhao Zean and Zhao Ze are like girls, and Zhao Zeping and Zhao Zeshun are like boys. The four brothers and sisters of the Zhao family may be in the order of eldest brother, second sister, third brother, and fourth sister. ?”

The corner of Yu Hanjiang’s lips lightly raised: “I guessed that way too. As for the accuracy, more clues are needed to verify.”

Xiao Loudao: “There is another key.”

Yu Hanjiang said tacitly: “A child’s toy?”

Xiao Lou picked up the rattle he found in the eldest brother’s room, and said, “The cradle and the child’s toys were found in the elder brother’s house, indicating that he has been married and had a child. However, the spiritual position of his wife and child was not found in the Zhao’s family hall just now. Generally speaking, the spiritual positions of husband and wife should be placed side by side, for example, their parents’ spiritual positions are put together.”

Yu Hanjiang added: “Moreover, there is incense in the mourning hall. When we entered just now, the three sticks of incense were still lit and burned for more than half of the time. It means that someone came to give incense to the spiritual seat of the Zhao family not long ago.”

Xiao Lou said, “This person is probably the survivor of the Massacre-the boss’s wife or child?”

Yu Hanjiang nodded in agreement: “I think so too.”

The two looked at each other. Walking side by side along the way, experiencing so many secret rooms, their understanding of investigating the case is really getting higher and higher, and they can always think of going together. From the spiritual position distribution and room investigation, they have figured out the approximate relationship between the characters in the Zhao family.

The key figures are the bride and the wife and children of the eldest son whose whereabouts are unknown.

What’s still unclear is what happened to the Zhao family?

Was the scene of seeing the bride getting married last night, was it a night illusion, or a recurrence of a scene that had happened before?

this point is very important.

If the second lady died before getting married, what they saw last night might be the illusion of “marrying a ghost wife” in the underworld. But if she died after getting married, what they saw might be the “reappearance of the past” formed by the obsession of ghosts.

Xiao Lou suggested: “Let’s go to the inn to find out and talk about it.”

Yu Hanjiang flew out of Zhao’s house with him.

Qu Wanyue and Long Sen had been waiting outside. Seeing the two came out, Long Sen immediately stepped forward and asked, “Professor Xiao, have you found any clues?”

Xiao Lou simply explained: “This younger generation has four brothers and sisters. The eldest brother is already married and has children. It is very likely that the second lady will be married. What we need to figure out now is what happened to the Zhao family back then, and how could it be wiped out?”

Long Sen nodded as if he didn’t understand, “Hmm, are you going to the inn?”

Yu Hanjiang said: “Let’s go. Let me ask what’s going on with Lao Mo, and the inn will converge later.”

He pressed the voice headset, connected to the team voice channel, and said in a low voice: “Attention, everyone. The case in the secret room is more complicated. We found the spiritual seat full of the house in the house where the bride was married last night. The Zhao family suffered misery. Miemen. Old Mo, where are you and Liu Qiao?”

Lao Mo quickly replied: “I took Liu Qiao to the house where the child was born last night. It was a deserted yard, and there was no one. I asked the residents nearby and they said that this family had been there many years ago. Suddenly disappeared, I don’t know if it moved.”

Liu Qiao added: “I disappeared inexplicably overnight. The young lady of this family had just given birth. The neighbors nearby wanted to visit them the next day, but their entire family disappeared.”
