This trip was 20 kilometers back and forth, the mountain road was difficult, and it took everyone a whole day.
When everyone returned to the hotel, it happened to be dinner time.
This dinner was a treat from the Indian embassy in Nepal, and the place was at the hotel where Lin Shuo and the others stayed.
Sanan was very polite and ordered a table full of dishes.
The things on this table are either green vegetable leaves, red peppers, or yellow lumps of curry food.
These things are stimulating in the mouth, but when they fall into the stomach, they actually have no calories for Lin Shuo and Zhang Jin, they are nothing more than a new taste.
After taking two bites, Lin Shuo felt that the taste was actually okay, but it was very spicy.
Jiangnan Forest, which lives in the Qiantang River area, has no tradition of eating spicy food since ancient times.
Compared with the average Jiangnan people, Lin Shuo can eat spicy food, but he is not addicted to it.
He knew that if he ate this kind of spiciness, his mouth could bear it, but his stomach might not be able to bear it, and he might have a stomachache.
So after taking two bites, he put down his chopsticks.
Look at Wei Xingshan next to him, this man is breathing heavily while eating, his appetite seems to be good.
Lin Shuo shook his head, and said softly, "When the spring comes, you will be a member of the family. I will popularize the eating rules of the family members for you."
Hearing this, Wei Xingshan quickly put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth with a wet tissue on the side: "Say it."
"The people in the door, most of them are craftsmen. If the boss invites us, I will have food, but if I don't invite us, I will have nothing to eat." Lin Shuo said, "So it doesn't matter if you eat at home, you can eat as you like. How to eat, but once you go out, you have to pay attention to eating at the owner's house."
"En." Wei Xingshan responded.
At the dinner table at this time, everyone had almost eaten and were chatting with each other.
Cao Yusheng was chatting with Sanan in English, and it sounded like he was reminding him about the autopsy.
As soon as Lin Shuo's conversation started, Anne and Zhang Jin turned their ears to each other, looking very curious.
Lin Shuo pointed to Zhang Jin: "The people from your family moved there from the Qilu area. Qilu is the hometown of Confucius and Mencius. Your heirs of Sai Beizhang eat outside, so you should be more particular. What do you say? There are regulations on how to toast wine.
But I guess my stepbrother didn't teach you much, did he? "
Zhang Jin nodded.
"I can't teach you the rules of Saibei." Lin Shuo shook his head and said, "I'm talking about the rules of our Jiangnan side.
China is a big country, and the geographical environment and humanistic traditions are different in different places. These rules of going out are actually not the same.
We hunters eliminate harm for the people, we don't pick others.
We have to go when rich and powerful families invite us, and we have to go when ordinary people invite us.
We eat fine banquets, and we also eat pickled vegetables, which cannot be picked.
If you go to the Shenzhai compound and the owner is rich, then it's okay, except don't drink, everything else is fine.
On the contrary, if poor people treat us to dinner, we have to be particular about it.
There are two of them:
Meat, eat hot and not cold.
Fish, neither hot nor cold.
Do you know why? "
"Afraid that the master's house will be poisoned?" Wei Xingshan asked, and then he himself denied it, "It doesn't make any sense, please invite hunters to eliminate the harm, why poison?"
Anne and Zhang Jin looked at me and I looked at you, and shook their heads, indicating that they didn't know.
"You guys, all of you were born under the red flag and grew up in the spring breeze. You don't know how the ordinary people lived in the past." Lin Shuo said, "Fish and meat are very common now, but in the past, most people I can't afford it, and I can only eat meat during the Chinese New Year all year round.
Inviting the people in our door to dinner, if you can serve fish and meat, it is the host's courtesy, we can't take it seriously.
In fact, just this plate of fish, the owner brought it out and brought it back every day, and it took more than a week to save face.
Since it's about saving face, the dish should be complete.
When a plate of meat is served, if it is hot, you can move a chopstick or two, because it is still a plate of meat and you can't tell it.
But if the meat is cold, the fat is all frozen, and if you pry it off with chopsticks, there will be traces.
The same is true for fish, whether it is cold or hot, as long as you move your chopsticks, there will be traces.
If you do this, it is not in compliance with the rules, and the news spreads very quickly among the neighbors.
This master is no good.
These things sound like shit, but in the past, you really have to pay attention to them.
For those of us in the sect, regardless of ability or size, reputation is very important.
Otherwise, you will not be able to walk the Sifang Road, and you will not be able to eat Baijiafan. "
"Hey." Wei Xingshan was very emotional when he heard it, and then asked, "Then the people from Liemen, it won't be like this when we go out, right?"
"Of course not for the Six Great Masters, but if you are a small hunter, you have to pay attention to this." Lin Shuo glanced at the future chief disciple, "You are lucky, you caught up with the good times.
Now that the living standards of the common people have improved, they are no longer so preoccupied with a little bit of meat, but the reason is still the same.
This is going out, pay attention to eating. "
Lin Shuo went around for a long time, and Wei Xingshan understood the last sentence.
Wei Xingshan wiped his face in embarrassment: "Old Lin, I don't want you to despise people like this."
Anne and Zhang Jin also understood, and both of them started laughing.
At the dining table, the atmosphere is very relaxed, but at the other side of the dining table, swords are already on the verge of breaking out.
"What?" Cao Yusheng's voice suddenly became louder, and he said in English, "The victim's body is gone?"
When Lin Shuo and the others heard this, their attention was immediately drawn.
I saw that Sanan's face was not very good-looking, and he did not deny Cao Yusheng's statement.
"It's broken." Cao Yusheng patted the table lightly, then turned his head and said to Lin Shuo, "Boss, the autopsy can't be done."
"Why?" Lin Shuo asked.
"They just checked the cause of death so casually, and they cremated the person." Cao Yusheng said.
"What about the twenty or so Brahmin victims?" Lin Shuo asked.
"The more than two hundred here are said to have been piled up and burned, and there may still be some bone residue left." Cao Yusheng sighed, "The twenty Brahmins were buried in a thick way, and they were burned individually. , now there is no scum left."
"It's quite quick to do things." Lin Shuo smiled wryly and shook his head.
"Boss, what should we do next?" Cao Yusheng asked.
Lin Shuo said, "Since you can't wait for the autopsy, then don't wait. Get ready and go to the mountain tomorrow morning."
"good."
…
After dinner, Lin Shuo returned to his room early.
Cao Yusheng also hurriedly followed in.
Lin Shuo knew that the hunter had something to say, so he took out a pack of cigarettes from his backpack, and the nephew and uncle lit one first.
After taking two puffs of after-dinner cigarettes, Cao Yusheng said, "Boss, something is wrong."
"Well." Lin Shuo said, "According to the normal procedure, the victim's body should be stored in the mortuary in cold storage, and the body will not be buried until the case is closed.
To say that these "untouchables" are low in social status, and because they were massacred in the village, the police did not have the pressure from the families of the victims, so early cremation is justifiable.
It is obviously abnormal for those twenty or so Brahmins to be cremated so quickly. "
"The water is quite muddy." Cao Yusheng said, "If someone is covering up something, it must not be the murderer. Because if the murderer wants to cover up, why did he go there earlier? Just like the Cao family, just set the fire on the spot .And now, it's obvious that someone made a remedy after the fact."
"Patriarch Cao, I think we shouldn't be distracted." Lin Shuo said, "We can't take care of people's affairs for the time being, but it's easy to complicate things. The key is who the murderer is. This is very important."
"The leader is right." Cao Yusheng said, "But in our "Kyushu Alien Objects" in Liemen, there are more than ten kinds of beasts that can suck human blood.
Even if the scope is narrowed down a bit, there are still three types that can kill so many people in an instant.
The habits and specialties of these three things are different. Once we get the information wrong, it will be too dangerous. "
The two were chatting when someone knocked on the door and gently pushed it open.
Lin Shuo turned his head and saw that it was Anne who came in, holding a satellite phone in her hand.
"Lin Shuo, Yang Tuo's call."
"This guy really lingers." Lin Shuo shook his head, took the phone, and said loudly, "Academician Yang, what's wrong?"
"Old Lin, your mood is very wrong." Yang Tuo on the other side of the phone said, "Why, are you unhappy when you received my call?"
"I can't be happy." Lin Shuo said, "If you call, there must be nothing good. Is my place going to become a nuclear bomb strike zone again?"
"Huh? Are you not in China?" Yang Tuo asked, "Where are you?"
"I'm in business, Nepal."
"Oh, that's very close." Yang Tuo said, "You can rest assured that the Himalayas are a region where the Eurasian continent and the Indian subcontinent connect. A major earthquake in the Tibetan area. So whoever dares to drop a nuclear bomb there is tantamount to declaring war on our country, and generally no one thinks so hard."
"Oh, let me borrow your good words." Lin Shuo asked, "What are you looking for, and what do you mean by 'very close'?"
Yang Tuo on the phone said: "Twenty days ago, an international joint mountaineering team composed of three Chinese, two Dutch, one Austrian, and one American attempted to climb from the north slope of Mount Everest. top.
But soon after, they lost contact.
my country has sent three mountaineering teams to search for them. Just five days ago, one of the mountaineering teams found their bodies.
The time of death was determined to be fifteen days ago.
The cause of death was that the blood in the whole body was sucked dry.
Because strange creatures may be involved, and I have the qualifications, these seven corpses have been airlifted to me, and I will conduct an autopsy on them soon.
Lin Shuo, I just want to ask, based on your experience, is there any danger in this kind of autopsy? Do you need any special protective measures? "
"You can't die." Lin Shuo rolled his eyes, "Go ahead and do it boldly."
"Then I'm relieved." Yang Tuo said, "It's over."
"Wait for me!" Lin Shuo quickly stopped, "I also have two cases here. The cause of death is the same. The corpse here has been destroyed. Please send me a copy of your autopsy report."
Yang Tuo said, "Oh, I'm dealing with a case of strange creatures in our country, and you are probably entrusted by the International Society for Biological Research. These are two different things."
"Hey, you're good at it, and you're starting to fight me." Lin Shuo said, "Stop talking nonsense with me. Would you like to help me with this?"
Yang Tuo hesitated for a while, and said, "Since it's a similar case, should I apply for a multinational joint case?"
"OK."
"Since it's a joint case." Yang Tuo said, "After the murderer is caught, should our Chinese Academy of Sciences take a percentage of the murderer's scientific research project?"
"I pretended to be confused with me for a long time, waiting for me here." Lin Shuo understood, "Since Mr. He gave you the hook snake project, you have tasted the sweetness. It has started endlessly, right?"
"Biology education in our country has achieved fruitful results in recent years, and there are a large number of outstanding scientific researchers who need projects." Yang Tuo said lightly, "And since we are serving the country, how can we measure it by our own selfish desires? If so, I, Yang Tuo, Taku's appetite will never be satisfied."
"Our Liemen is China's Liemen, so you don't have to guard against me when you come to this kind of thing in the future." Lin Shuo said, "You let the high-level executives talk to the International Biological Research Association, and I will take care of the details. No, you have to give me the autopsy report as soon as possible."
"I'll give it to you tomorrow morning."
"Okay." Lin Shuo hung up the phone.
