Fatty Dan slipped away.
He knew that he was not strong enough, and... it was too smelly! He really couldn't help it, and he couldn't stay for long.
But at the same time, he also took note of this place and kept it in mind~!
…
City C.
Qi Zixiao was reading Lin Fan's message.
"Those guys have been taken down. There shouldn't be similar problems for the time being. Don't worry too much."
In the picture, Lin Fan smiled and said: "There is a saying on Earth, which says that if you can't solve the problem, then solve the person who raised the problem."
"You should not have the intention to harm others, but you must be on guard against others. There is no such thing as a thief on guard against thieves. If you are on guard all the time, it will be too much trouble. So I gave them free food, drink and accommodation for who knows how many years.
Not only that, they also give me free haircuts and silver bracelets. If I behave well, I might even get paid for doing some work.”
"Besides that, I haven't done anything else. If you feel bored, you can try to contact Wu Guodong. He has a lot of unsolved cases waiting for you and me to solve. If we solve them, we can also buy a batch of raw stones..."
"That's all. See you later."
Lin Fan waved gently, and the message video ended.
After hearing this, Qi Zixiao felt a little unhappy...
So, what that guy meant was that I was not smart enough? I only knew how to prevent thieves, but not how to "kill" the thieves
Damn it~!
She pouted and said, "I want to see what the mystery is!"
Qi Zixiao was really interested in these so-called unsolved cases.
Solving cases, reasoning, etc. are already quite attractive. Moreover, if you can solve a case that others cannot, there will be some sense of accomplishment, right
If anyone could solve it, then the case would be meaningless.
…
So, after a big meal, Qi Zixiao went to the greenhouse area.
Old Chen was still conducting research as usual, and the three spiritual herbs he moved over were all missing a "leaf".
Seeing Lin Fan coming over, Old Chen stood up, dusted off his hands, and said, "I have made some discoveries, but I cannot draw any definite conclusions yet. I need to continue researching and comparing."
"Don't worry, this is not something that can be accomplished overnight."
Qi Zixiao comforted him softly: "Then I'll leave this to you. I still have some things to do."
"no problem."
Old Chen said there was nothing wrong with it.
He is now almost in a state of madness. Students? No more!
Previous research? Just let the students do it.
He was completely absorbed in the research related to "cultivating immortals". Although he had not made any major discoveries yet, even some subtle understandings made him very happy.
…
Afternoon.
Qi Zixiao and Wu Guodong met at the police station.
"How about I introduce you as the scientific advisor to my brothers in the bureau?" Wu Guodong suggested with a smile.
"No."
Qi Zixiao shook her head repeatedly. She still remembered that guy told her to keep a low profile.
And, scientific advisor
Come on, what do you know about science
If I were really introduced to everyone, and one or two of them suddenly came up with a few questions that I couldn't answer, wouldn't that be awkward
"Okay."
Wu Guodong nodded: "I'll take you to your office first, and then to the archives room."
"Some of these cases are very mysterious. I have prepared one that is most suitable for you. You should also be interested in it."
Qi Zixiao didn't have any objections, but was a little curious: "I also have an office?"
"Special scientific advisor." Wu Guodong smiled. "It should be a bit classy, right? There is an office, but you have never been here."
While we were talking, we arrived at the office.
It is in line with the 'style' of government departments, and looks very ordinary, nothing special.
"Fortunately I didn't hold out much hope..."
Qi Zixiao blinked as he looked at the "office" in front of him which was less than ten square meters and had nothing in it except a table, chairs and a filing cabinet.
"Ha, you know, our departments are under a tight budget, we are under a tight budget."
Qi Zixiao: “…”
"Come sit down?"
"Why are you sitting here? Take me to see the case."
Qi Zixiao expressed no interest in this poor office.
"That's fine."
Wu Guodong also felt a little embarrassed at this moment. After all, this office was a bit... But there was no other way. A government department couldn't be extravagant and build a fancy office, right
I'm afraid it has not been reported!
…
Soon, in the archives room.
Wu Guodong led Qi Zixiao directly deeper into the area. Although they were stopped once, they were allowed to pass because of the title of "scientific consultant".
Then.
Wu Guodong brought out a stack of documents.
"puff!"
With a strong blow, the smoke and dust scattered everywhere, and Qi Zixiao took a step back.
"cough."
Wu Guodong coughed dryly and said, "It's been a while, so the dust is a bit thick."
"?" Qi Zixiao was puzzled: "Shouldn't the current information be stored in the computer?"
"It is true that there is information stored in the computer for current cases, but it may not be the case for cases from many years ago."
Wu Guodong explained, "And this case is really a bit bizarre. I can't explain the details, but I think it would be useful for you to see the information with your own eyes."
"oh?"
Qi Zixiao waved his hand and a strong wind blew. Although it was only for a moment, it blew away all the dust on the file bag.
"Internal strength?!"
Wu Guodong's pupils suddenly shrank: "You still say you are not a martial arts master?"
"Really not."
Qi Zixiao denied it.
Wu Guodong: “…”
I don't believe you!
You handsome boy, you have a very bad mind.
When he opened the file bag, a horrifying, even terrifying photo appeared before his eyes. Even Qi Zixiao couldn't help but frown.
But... that's all.
She looked at the photo carefully.
Wu Guodong's voice came to my ears.
"The case twelve years ago was a hot topic at the time. The case of the boy in red in City C..."
"This child died a tragic death, as you can see..."
In the screen.
The little boy was wearing a long red skirt, with his hands and neck hung on the beam...
But, if that were the case, it would not be a big deal. But at the same time, there was a needle stuck in the center of its eyebrows, flashing with cold light.
There was even a weight hanging on his feet, covered in blood.
"At the beginning, the police and forensic doctors at the scene carefully checked and found no other footprints, fingerprints or other traces of the crime."
"In addition, the autopsy confirmed that the cause of death was asphyxiation..."
"At the time, this incident caused a big stir, and many people said that it was an evil Taoist priest who was harming people."
"But we police officers have to be scientific after all. There was no evidence to prove it was homicide, and the situation was serious at the time, so we needed to give an explanation. So, we concluded it was suicide."
"The police announced that it was suicide, and after a period of downplaying, the incident gradually faded from the public's view..."
"Nonsense."
Qi Zixiao just laughed: "Suicide?"
"How could a little boy, committing suicide, hang himself on such a high beam? And how could he tie his hands as well?"
"From the photo, the rope of the weight hanging above the feet is very clear. The knot is not something that an ordinary child can tie."
"What's more, a thirteen-year-old boy committed suicide, but he did so many weird things and even stuck a needle in his forehead. Do you think it's possible?"
Wu Guodong also shook his head and smiled bitterly: "… There are some things that I can't say."
"In short, this is how the case was characterized at the time, but everyone has their own scale in their hearts."
"I didn't intend to handle this case again. After all, so many years have passed, and my ability is limited. Moreover, this case is too mysterious."
"But, with your help, I would like to give it a try."
At this point, Wu Guodong looked serious: "I don't know what it is, but as long as it harms people, I think it is necessary to arrest it!"
"Are you sure?"
Qi Zixiao smiled.
She was not familiar with reasoning and detective work, but as a cultivator, she could see many problems at a glance.
Evil monk
Not really!
Who would play with this thing if they were a true evil monk? It's too low-end!
Even Qi Zixiao didn't understand what this was all about, but no matter how you looked at it, it was related to those 'evil arts'.
"so… "
Qi Zixiao thought to himself, "Is it similar to 'opening an altar to perform rituals'? Is it some kind of magic that mortals can use?"
"What a pity! At first I even thought there really were immortal cultivators hiding on Earth."
After all, if there is a cultivator, then as long as we find him, we may be able to understand a lot of things.
For example, where there is spiritual energy, there is a super teleportation array, which can enable you to set foot on the ancient starry road or teleport to other star fields.
What kind of magic is this boy doing
Qi Zixiao didn't know what it was, but he could tell that it was definitely not a method used by those evil cultivators.
After all, it's too low-end.
She turned to the second page.
Still in the photo, the child has been taken down and placed on a pure white bed sheet, and the fiery red dress she was wearing has also been taken off.
but…
Under the long skirt, she was actually wearing a red swimsuit and swimming trunks!
"Swimsuit?"
Qi Zixiao frowned slightly, and then suddenly realized.
"Gold, wood, water, fire, earth..."
"What?" Wu Guodong's expression changed slightly.
"The swimsuit represents water, the red shirt represents fire, the weight represents gold, the beam represents wood, and the ground represents earth. Or, if I'm not mistaken, there should be some dirt on the boy's body?"
"Yes, there is dirt in the mouth!"
Wu Guodong took a deep breath and said excitedly: "Did you see the clue?!"
"No, but it is certain that the murderer knows some magic or something."
"Gold, wood, water, fire and earth gather together. I don't know what they do specifically, but there is a soul-dividing needle between the eyebrows. This..."
She whispered, "It seems like a way to make people never have sex again, but that is definitely impossible."
"Perhaps this person wants to use the Soul-Dividing Needle to disperse his soul and simulate heaven and earth with gold, wood, water, fire and earth?"
