Lin Qiye sat on the chair opposite Merlin. The Rubik's Cube on the table flickered slightly and automatically moved towards Lin Qiye, like a child who had been wronged.
Lin Qiye ignored its movements and went straight to the point:
"Your Excellency Merlin, I came here this time because I actually want to ask you something...Have you ever heard of the Tian Cong Yun Sword?"
Merlin frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head, "I'm sorry, I haven't heard of it."
Lin Qiye sighed secretly in his heart, but this was not beyond his expectation. As an ancient British god, Merlin naturally would not have heard of Japanese mythology.
"That is a weapon that exists in mythology... In short, the physical injuries of those killed by it cannot be recovered, and the soul will be damaged. Even if they are resurrected from the dead, they will not be healed." Lin Qiye relied on Hong
The instructor's description was briefly introduced to Merlin.
"I would like to know, is there any good way to deal with the wounds left by this kind of artifact?"
"Leave an eternal soul wound..." Merlin thought thoughtfully, "Although I don't know this kind of artifact, but from your description, it should have two attached attributes of 'eternity' and 'soul'
, any weapon involving 'eternity' is very difficult to deal with."
Lin Qiye frowned tightly, "Is there no cure?"
"That's not true." Merlin pondered for a moment and stretched out two fingers, "As far as I can guess, there are probably two ways to heal this kind of wound...
The first one is the simplest and crudest. As long as you destroy the body of the Tiancongyun Sword, the attributes attached to it will naturally disappear and the injury will be healed."
Lin Qiye's mouth twitched. Do you call this "simple"?
He personally went to Takamagahara, killed Susano'o, and then shattered the Amazuki Cloud Sword... If he could do this, he would definitely be one of the top gods.
For him now, it is nothing more than a dream.
"What about the second one?"
"The second option is to find another artifact that has 'eternal' properties and can heal injuries." Merlin said calmly.
"Hmm...what about?"
"I don't know either."
Lin Qiye:......
Well, these two solutions are more unreliable than the other.
"Is there no other way?" Lin Qiye couldn't help but ask.
"I can't think of it." Merlin shook his head, "If I insist on a third method, it would be to pray for a 'miracle' to happen."
Lin Qiye sighed and stood up from his seat.
"I know, excuse me."
Lin Qiye walked out of the study, looked at the mess of caregivers in the yard, paused for a moment, and shook his head helplessly.
It seems that it is difficult to help Wu Xiangnan heal the injury on his hand.
…
the next day.
A black van stopped at the door of the tavern. Wen Qimo and Lin Qiye got out of the van and walked toward the tavern, which had been cordoned off by the police.
This pub is not big, but the decoration is quite exquisite. The combination of retro style and neon atmosphere gives it a unique flavor. On this street, it can also be regarded as an internet celebrity check-in spot.
However, this was once a lively and bourgeois tavern, but now it is empty and extremely bleak.
Lin Qiye and the two passed through the yellow blockade and walked straight into the tavern.
"Is there no one guarding this murder scene?" Lin Qiye looked around, not even seeing a policeman, and couldn't help but ask strangely.
"This case involves a 'mystery', so ordinary police officers cannot intervene, guard the scene, search for clues, conduct autopsy... These matters are all taken over by our specialized processing department. Although it seems that no one is guarding it, in fact, it is hidden outside.
There are people guarding the place 24 hours a day. If a suspicious person comes, he can be caught immediately."
Lin Qiye nodded, and at this moment, a young man wearing a black coat walked in from the door.
"Brother Wen, are you looking for clues again today?" The young man saw Lin Qiye next to Wen Qimo and asked in surprise: "This is..."
"The new member, Lin Qiye, Qiye, this is the person from the professional processing department I told you, Xiao Hei. You two should get to know each other more, and we will often cooperate in future operations." Wen Qimo said with a smile.
Different from the previous temporary team members, Lin Qiye is now a serious and organized night watchman. He will officially take over the work of the night watchman and truly integrate into this organization.
"Hello, Brother Lin." Xiao Hei smiled and stretched out his hand.
"Hello." Lin Qiye held his hand.
"Xiao Hei, please give Qiye a brief introduction to the situation." Wen Qimo said.
"Okay." Xiao Hei's expression became serious, "What happened yesterday, that is, at 10.45 am on August 26th, the owner of this tavern entered the store to open the door, but found that there was a strong smell of blood in the store. After walking into the backyard,
It was found that Sun Xiao, the waiter of the tavern, died tragically among them."
With that said, he led the two of them towards the backyard.
"The door doesn't open until after ten in the morning?" Lin Qiye seemed a little surprised.
"This kind of tavern only does business at night, so starting after ten o'clock is already considered diligent." Wen Qimo explained at the side.
Lin Qiye nodded, and soon the three of them walked to the door of the backyard.
On the ground in the backyard, there are number plates one after another with numbers on them. Next to each number plate is a photo of the scene. On the wall, a human figure is outlined in white chalk, floating in the shape of a "cross".
Half empty.
"The deceased, Sun Xiao, male, 28 years old, came to this tavern as a waiter two years ago. Before that, he had been working in a restaurant. In fact, there are very few people who can persist in the tavern waiter's job for such a long time. He can
He did it for two years, firstly because the owner of the tavern treated him well and treated him well, and secondly, because there were two elderly people at home to support and they were in urgent need of money."
Xiao Hei looked down at the information in his hand and continued, "Judging from the autopsy report, the time of death was between 3 and 4 o'clock in the morning that day. There were a total of five nails driven into the body of the deceased, four of which were distributed in the
The limbs are all puncture wounds, corresponding to the four red spots on the wall."
Lin Qiye squinted and saw that there were indeed four deep gouges on the hands and feet of the white human figure on the wall. There was still blood left in the gouges. It was these four nails that had nailed the deceased to the wall.
"And the deceased's fatal wound was the nail that pierced his heart, killing him with one blow."
Xiao Hei pointed at the wall. At the heart of the human silhouette, a small red dot was marked, representing the position where the nail pierced the heart.
"In addition, the ten fingers of the deceased... were all cut off, and the fractures were very smooth. No knife that could cause such injuries was found in this tavern.
