Shuowen is a language to communicate with ghosts and gods, and there is not only one kind, but several kinds. Among them, there are different ones for ghosts, demons, and gods. Now there may be some unknown family inheritances that continue this tradition. There are many kinds of words, but there are almost no people who can understand them all. The Winter Solstice is also after reading Long Shen's handbook a little bit, and then listening to him say something about the text, and then slowly understand.
Hearing the slander, Team Leader Yin didn't react, but Chang Qing snorted.
"Is it the kind of text that can communicate yin and yang?"
Winter Solstice nodded: "Can you watch?"
Chang Qing: "No, but I see that you can, so I will cooperate with you to express surprise."
winter solstice:…
He turned his head speechlessly and asked Team Leader Yin, "Have you looked for the library and the deceased's family?"
Team Leader Yin: "We've searched for it, including the cafe where the deceased used to go before he died. We also went to ask. No one has seen the book."
Speaking of this, he had a bit of a headache: "Actually, this book has nothing to do with the case at all. It's just that we found this doubt during the investigation, and we can't find a breakthrough so far, so the more we want to find an answer."
Winter Solstice understood: "I understand that sometimes clues that seem unrelated at first will be connected in the end. Have you ever investigated the deceased who borrowed books before Su Huan?"
Team Leader Yin: "Yes, but I didn't find anything. The deceased also had a simple family relationship. The perpetrator of the car accident couldn't fight him. No matter how you looked at it, it looked like an accident. The person's borrowing date, but there is no return date, the other's family and friends also said that they have never seen the book. The strange thing is that the book was borrowed by Su Huan after that, which means—"
The winter solstice took over his words: "The book was returned by myself."
Team Leader Yin nodded, touched the few pitiful strands of hair on the top of his head, and said with a wry smile, "That's right, if it wasn't for this, I wouldn't have thought of laboring for you."
Winter Solstice said: "Well, you are still leading the case, and I will continue the clues on the book side."
The Special Administration Bureau has the privilege to take over the case in the middle, but he did not want to take credit with Team Leader Yin. Instead, he took the initiative to give in to assist. Team Leader Yin naturally understood his good intentions, and the smile on his face became a bit more sincere. He was still suspicious. The winter solstice is too young to handle the case, and now it is only pleasing to the eye. "Then I will trouble Director Dong."
Winter Solstice got up and shook hands with him.
"You're welcome, Team Leader Yin. I want to go to the scene of the murder first, and then go to the library where the deceased worked before he died. Just keep busy and find an assistant to take me there."
Team Leader Yin agreed, and Chang Qing couldn't help but take a few more glances at the Winter Solstice. He now knows what the benefits of state officials are. At least before, the Deng family couldn't get close to the murder scene. Now, as soon as the winter solstice speaks, the police immediately cooperate fully.
Team Leader Yin was busy with affairs. After talking to Dongzhi, he rushed to hold the next case discussion meeting. Dongzhi declined his invitation, and Team Leader Yin left a young criminal policeman named Xiao Zhao and asked him to help Dongzhi. , until the case is closed.
Not long after Xiao Zhao was transferred to the criminal police, he heard for the first time that there is a special management bureau in the relevant departments. He looked at the winter solstice with probing eyes, but he was hesitant to say anything. kind of words, but in the end, it was difficult to hold back curiosity.
At this time, Kan Chaosheng also came back, and he gave Chang Qing a big white eye, and then handed over the information he found to the Winter Solstice.
Looking at the winter solstice, Chang Qing did not lie. His master has a Taoist certificate, but he has been practicing in the depths of Taibai Mountain. Chang Qing has followed his master since childhood. Although he grew up in modern society, he is almost isolated from modern civilization. His master asked him to go out for a walk. From Shaanxi to Huaian, he made a lot of jokes along the way, but this is enough to explain the reason why he had never heard of the Special Administration Bureau.
When the suspicion was lifted, Dongzhi said to him: "If you can guarantee that you will not act impulsively and will not take action against the tide, I can release your handcuffs, but the premise is that you must follow me these days until the case is finished. "
Chang Qing wondered: "Now the monsters can run around everywhere, and they can also join the state organs to do business. Isn't that there is no distinction between humans and monsters, and the order is chaotic?"
In front of Xiao Zhao, the Winter Solstice did not want to say much, it was just noon, and the Winter Solstice asked Xiao Zhao to take everyone to a nearby restaurant for dinner, while Xiao Zhao went to order food, the Winter Solstice said to Chang Qing: "I said, as long as you obey the law Morality, any species can live in modern society, in addition to watching the tide, there are many members of the Special Administration Bureau like him, we shoulder special responsibilities and are regarded as civil servants in another field."
Chang Qing nodded: "I see."
He glanced at Chao Sheng again: "Sorry."
Kan Chaosheng sneered, turned his head, and ignored it.
Xiao Zhao came in, and they didn't continue talking about monsters. After dinner, everyone came to Deng Bin and Su Huan's residence, which was the murder scene that had been blocked by the police.
The corpse has been moved to the forensic doctor's place, the blood is still there, and it has changed color, but it looks messy, and the Deng family would definitely be frightened here. Nothing happens.
Xiao Zhao introduced: "Other places are very clean, only the living room was the scene at the time, but the deceased did not struggle much. These bloodstains were all made by her heart and mind after her death."
After walking around the winter solstice, he didn't find anything unusual. At least he didn't find the most familiar demonic energy, indicating that Su Huan's death might have nothing to do with the monsters.
"After Su Huan's death, Deng Bin left here, where did he go, and did he find the surveillance?"
Xiao Zhao looked strange: "The surveillance showed that he came out of the elevator in the underground parking lot, but after the elevator came out, there was a blind spot in the surveillance, and the video of Deng Bin was never found again until we found him in the club."
Winter Solstice: "What about his entry and exit times at the club?"
Xiao Zhao: "There's nothing wrong with this. The club's monitoring shows that the time he came in and out was after the incident."
When the Winter Solstice saw that he seemed to have unfinished words, he said, "If you have an opinion, just say it."
Xiao Zhao hesitated: "Actually, all the clues are very clear. Deng Bin is indeed the most suspected of committing the crime. That book, such as the illustrated book, has nothing to do with the case at all."
In other words, he didn't think that this case would have any miraculous and mysterious development. It was a typical murder case where the relationship between husband and wife broke down and the husband was angry and murdered. It can only show that Deng Bin has a dark heart, a cold-blooded temperament, and an anti-social personality.
At this moment, Dongzhi and Xiao Zhao's phone rang almost at the same time. Dongzhi picked up the phone and saw the caller ID on it. Even at the scene of the murder, he was in a dignified mood and could not help but slightly raised his mouth, as if subconsciously.
"Master."
"It's me." A familiar voice came, and Long Shen said, "I saw the pictures you sent, but those few words may have no specific meaning."
"No specific meaning?" Winter Solstice repeated, slightly puzzled, "How do you say it?"
Long Shen said: "It's just that it doesn't have a specific meaning, it's like a combination of a few Chinese characters that we wrote casually, but I guess it might be a spell, a spell written in slang, to calm the book. Book."
Winter Solstice: "That means there might be something in the book?"
Long Shen: "It's possible, the picture is very blurry and I can't see it clearly. Be careful yourself, I'll be there later."
The winter solstice responded and wanted to say something more, but because of the inconvenience of an outsider, he was about to hang up the phone when he heard the other party say something. He blushed instantly and ended the call in a hurry. Inexplicably anxious.
"What's wrong?"
Xiao Zhao showed a little nervousness, which should not have appeared in a well-trained professional, but hearing what he said, Dongzhi immediately understood why he had such a reaction.
"That book is back!"
On the winter solstice, they were going to examine the body, but because of this unexpected situation, they hurriedly left the murder scene and went to the library.
The book Xiao Zhao mentioned was the illustrated book that Su Huan had borrowed during his lifetime. After Su Huan's death, the book disappeared. The police went to the library to check and found no record of the book being returned. However, when a librarian just sorted out the newly entered books and put them on the shelves, he accidentally Found that book.
Since Team Leader Yin had asked them about the photo, the librarian recognized it at once and immediately notified the police.
When the winter solstice and others rushed to the library, the book had been taken out alone and placed on the desk in the office, quietly waiting for their presence.
Chang Qing snorted when he saw the book.
Winter Solstice: "What?"
Chang Qing stopped Kan Chaosheng from reaching out to touch the book, frowned and looked at it for a long time, but shook his head: "I just saw some vague shadows dancing on the cover, and it disappeared in a blink of an eye, but I feel It's not an illusion."
Kan Chaosheng snorted coldly: "To say it is to say it in vain!"
Chang Qing said seriously: "I have an innate intuition about monsters, and this book must be related to monsters."
But when the winter solstice opened the book, everyone was stunned.
It was blank, with nothing on it.
"Isn't it, what kind of invisible potion was used?" Xiao Zhao hesitated, "Or, is it the night light potion?"
"No." The winter solstice touched the pages of the book, not like paper, but a bit like cloth, a very strange touch.
"Has the book's donor or purchaser been found?" he asked.
Xiao Zhao shook his head: "There is no record."
Chang Qing suddenly leaned in and sniffed: "Have you smelled a little? It comes from the book."
Xiao Zhao: "Sweet? It's like a perfume. I thought it was the scent of the librarian who received us just now."
Watching Chaosheng also sniffed and sniffed hard: "It's a bit fishy."
He suddenly opened his mind: "Isn't the murderer hidden in the book?"
On the winter solstice, he said to Xiao Zhao, "What about the set of surveillance photos that Deng Bin came out of his house after killing people, bring them here!"
Xiao Zhao didn't know why, but seeing the winter solstice in a hurry, he still drove back to pick it up.
Half an hour later, Dongzhi looked at the group of photos again and took a long breath.
"Is there anything special about the photo?" Xiao Zhao came over, but found nothing.
"Look," said Winter Solstice, pointing to Deng Bin in the photo, "he has no shadow."
There should have been lights at the door, but the dim light just slanted on the door. Deng Bin came out of the house with his hands in his pockets and his footsteps were natural, but in several pictures of continuous movements, without exception, every Deng Bing, there is no shadow.
Xiao Zhao now not only has a chill in his heart, but also begins to doubt his outlook on life and the world over the past few decades.
