Lu Tian had seen this statement before in an unknown novel or movie. When the crime in a city requires detectives rather than the police to combat it, it means that the crime in the city has become so outrageous that it is difficult to contain it.
reached the point.
The same is true for the abandoned capital.
In this secret room, on the hospital bed, the woman's body was as brilliant as a blooming flower.
Lu Tan did not immediately focus on the woman, but looked around the dark room.
Various medicines were displayed on the shelf. Lu Tan picked up a bottle at random. He could see that it should be some kind of restricted medicine bottle. It had addictive ingredients and could greatly suppress pain. He looked at another bottle. This bottle
It is an anti-inflammatory drug that can cause serious damage to the body and is usually used to treat fatal wounds.
In addition, there are several bottles of beautifully packaged wine. It seems that he sometimes drinks secretly here.
It was obvious that this darkroom was used by Dr. House for "other" work.
"Is this the real crime scene?"
Shia came closer and moved her nose, as if she wanted to smell the special smell in the air.
"The hospital bed was in a mess. It looked like this woman had suffered a lot of torture."
Drizzt glanced at the appearance of the corpse and the messy, blood-stained hospital bed.
"This is also very common. Sometimes gangsters need to deal with some special patients, so they will ask doctors to deal with them privately. After all, there are too many people in the hospital, and it is inevitable that the information will be leaked."
Since Dr. House will do those things for Madam Martina, it's not a big deal to deal with this kind of problem for the gangsters.
"Did that doctor kill her?"
Shia looked at the dead woman quietly. The glass flower bloomed from her body. It was hard to say whether it was more beautiful or uglier than the flower blooming on Dr. House's body.
She saw some traces of paint or paint on the woman's body. These traces remained on her fingers and skirt, as if she had been to the place where these things were produced.
"Does it smell like perfume?"
Drizzt saw this and looked at Lu Jian.
"No, at least not the kind that Dr. House had."
Lu Tan shook his head and carefully observed the internal organs.
He saw some brown sediment, transparent alcohol, and a small amount of pitiful-looking vegetables from the woman's stomach bag.
"She ate nothing before she died, only bread, wine, and vegetable soup."
"These are call girls. They are active in the underworld and rely on selling their bodies for money. Sometimes they need to see a doctor for treatment due to violence from clients or other reasons. It seems that she was receiving treatment when Dr. House died.
."
Drizzt deduced.
"I don't think it was Dr. House who killed her or vice versa. It's certainly not something a human being can do."
"But why did the other party move Dr. House to the first floor after killing two people here?"
Lu Tiao was confused.
If it is a monster attack or a temporary injury, then the monster must be irrational. It will only kill the two people on the spot and then escape, without going to deal with the scene.
And if it was done by humans with extraordinary powers, why did Dr. House’s body need to be moved to the first floor for others to discover?
Because there must be a purpose for moving the body, either to hide or to mislead. The call girl’s body has been left here for two or three days. Even if the other party wanted to hide the body at the time, they should find time to move it now.
Dispose of it instead of leaving it here and being discovered by Lu Tiao.
Very contradictory.
"Is there a possibility that their death was not a monster attack, but some kind of disease, a curse? The woman got sick first, and then the disease broke out when the doctor was treating her, infecting the doctor. He came to the first floor and thought
Ask for help, then get sick and die?”
Shia thought about the monsters in the black forest. When the demonic tide comes, some special monsters will reside in the human body, spread like a disease, and eventually break away from the body, like flowers that emit pollen.
die.
"Then if this happens, wouldn't we?"
Lu Tan said, looking at each other with the other two people.
"It shouldn't be a problem, I haven't started growing grass yet."
Lu Tan said, and he took a deep breath of dry air in the dark room.
"Besides, if this glass flower is really contagious, then everyone in the funeral home should have bloomed. The fact that we are still standing here means that at least the corpse that turned into a glass flower is not the source of infection."
"What you said makes sense."
Drizzt felt relieved.
Lu Jian seems to be a carefree person, but in fact he is rough and delicate at the same time.
"Even if it blooms, I don't think it's a big problem. Adding a little embellishment will make it look better."
Lu Tan added another sentence.
Drizzt felt that he should retract his evaluation of Lu Jian.
"This person seems to be the person you mentioned who died in the information obtained through [Madman's Knowledge]. So, there is also a gangster?"
Sia searched in the room and seemed to find something to eat on the table. She put her nose close and smelled it. It was a box of biscuits that had been there for several days. When the box was opened, it was damp.
The mage girl picked up the cookie and hesitated for a moment.
when
A bell suddenly rang out of nowhere. Shia was startled and hurriedly stuffed the biscuit into her mouth and hid it.
"A serial murder case is actually simpler than a single case, because the character of the prisoner can be profiled through the characteristics of different cases, but the two are too close."
Drizzt noticed the change in Shia's expression and was a little confused, but seeing that she had no special reaction, he continued.
"The paint and coatings from the factory may be a breakthrough. It's okay to say that Dr. House himself was contaminated with this, but this woman was also contaminated. The source of this paint should be"
While he was mumbling to himself, he suddenly heard a certain sound.
The sound was very slow, but it was indeed outside the silent space.
And this sound seemed to come from inside the room.
The dark room, with only a little light from the kerosene lamp, suddenly became strange.
Drizzt could feel that the surrounding light became slightly darker, as if it had been swallowed up by something.
A feeling of palpitations like a prey being targeted by a hunter enveloped me.
Drizzt reached for his holster, preparing to draw his revolver to defend himself.
At this moment, a head appeared at the door of the darkroom.
"Oh my God!"
The police stationed there came to check the situation and happened to see the body in the center of the darkroom.
Drizzt felt that the pressure suddenly disappeared, as if it had never existed.
He clenched his palms tightly and then loosened them. They were already covered with sweat.
If he had been in that state for a few more seconds, he might have died. He was so confident.
"Comrade police, please believe us, we just discovered this."
On the other side, Lu Tan skillfully raised his hands and squatted down with his head in his hands.
