It took a while to wait for additional police officers and forensic doctors to arrive at the scene, and the three of them checked the second floor.
The second floor is Dr. House's living room.
He has a mysophobia and a rigorous life attitude that a man of this age should not have. The sink is spotless, the toilet is clean, the quilt on the bed is neatly folded, and even the books on the bookshelf are arranged in order, which makes it very interesting. Obsessive-compulsive disorder is pleasing to the eye.
"There are few people who hang out in Gray Alley who are so clean and self-possessed. I even doubt that he has ever committed suicide on his own."
As soon as Drizzt finished speaking, he remembered that Shia was still there, and he hurriedly changed his words.
"He is single, has not found a call girl, and has not been involved in any scandals. The call girl downstairs should be his patient. She may have been attacked during the consultation."
"Would you look for a woman like this, Drizzt?"
Lu Jian asked the fatal question.
"No, of course not. My heart belongs to that lady. Don't think that I am that kind of person."
Drizzt immediately denied it.
"That lady?"
Shia leaned in and raised her ear.
"...she is a singer, a real singer. She once performed in the theater of the abandoned capital. The opera about Taoist Heming is a masterpiece. If you listen to it, you will become a singer like me. Her fans..."
Mentioning this, Drizzt became more talkative.
"Heming Taoist's opera?"
Lu Tan heard the keyword and reacted automatically.
"There are many operas about Heming Taoist, some of which are adapted from the biographies left by him and his disciples. Ms. Charlotte, I am referring to that lady, she starred in "Heming Zhi", which tells the story of Taoist Heming's experience before she was young enough to realize Taoism. Although those operas are not popular among the upper-class gentlemen now, the common people in the abandoned capital are happy to listen to them. She is a true artist."
Drizzt explained.
"Then do you know "The Legend of Crane's Ascension"?"
Lu Tan asked for the name of the material he needed.
""The Legend of Heming's Ascension"? No, I have never heard the name of this script or book. The most popular books related to Heming Taoist on the market are "The Legend of Heming Taoist", followed by "Heming's Insights", Only a small part of "The Crane's Crane" has been circulated. It is said that after adapting the script, the theater bought most of the "Crane's Crane" in order to ensure the box office."
Drizzt spread his fingers and counted them.
"Won't Taoist Heming's disciples protest against these scripts?"
After Lu Tan thought of some famous people in the real world, he would criticize the adaptations based on his ancestors, and some even banned the adaptations directly.
"No, how could it be possible? The Heming Sect declined within a few years after Taoist Heming ascended. Some people say that they touched some taboos that they should not touch, while others say that it was the big guys in the abandoned capital. They want to block the way to ascension. In short, the Heming Sect has long ceased to exist. The most common place where this name appears is in the mouths of liars. Many people will claim that they are the true disciples of Taoist Heming and have the method of ascension. And then defraud people of their money.”
Drizzt denied.
"Then do you know Storm Mountain Villa?"
Lu Tan asked again, with Drizzt, a local here, he could gather some wool.
"I've never heard of Stormy Rain Villa. This is a place in the abandoned capital? Have you been there during your mission?"
Drizzt frowned.
"Not yet."
Lu Tan shook his head.
"So that lady and you are lovers?"
Shia interrupted the conversation between the two about Taoist Heming, and asked relentlessly about Drizzt's personal relationship issues.
"Not really..."
Drizzt looked around at him.
"This is not the focus of this case. We should investigate the room carefully!"
He decided to change the subject.
Lu Tiao had already fallen to the ground.
He looked under the bed in Dr. House's bedroom.
Under the dark bed, there was only a thin layer of dust accumulated due to neglect of cleaning in the past few days, but there was no dirt.
“Very clean.”
Lu Jian commented.
"It's better to say, it's too clean."
Drizzt randomly pulled out a book from the bookshelf, flipped through two pages, and stuffed it back.
"It's hard to imagine that a normal man would be like this. Not to mention the toilet, even under the bed is clean. This is not normal at all."
"It's very clean under my bed."
Lu Tan replied.
"...I mean, there is no sense of life here at all, so it means that Dr. House doesn't usually sleep here, or he has cleaned the house for some reason, or the murderer came here for some reason.
Did some cleaning.”
Drizzt didn't want to talk to Lu Jian.
"It's possible."
Sia nodded in agreement, thought for a while, and then said.
"I have always felt that the death of Dr. House was the murderer's purpose. He killed the doctor in order to torture him. He had a deep hatred for this man, but according to you, this man usually does not
To form a feud, even if someone wants to kill him, it's because he knows something he shouldn't know, which is different from the murderer's attitude."
"Pleasure guilty?"
Drizzt touched his chin. This kind of criminal is really difficult to deal with, because there is no logic in killing, he just kills for the sake of killing.
In the abandoned capital, the most difficult cases to solve are not those carefully planned conspiracies or secret rooms. As long as the suspects can be identified and the testimonies are verified one by one, the murderer can be easily caught.
The most difficult cases to crack are random homicides.
Those pleasure criminals usually take pleasure in killing people. For them, killing is not a means to achieve an end, but killing is the end itself. They obtain happiness through killing people. As long as they are human beings, they can feel happy by killing them.
They may wander around the corners of dark streets and kill random homeless people, women walking at night, doormen on duty, etc. The bodies of these victims may not be found for a while.
When the bodies are discovered, the police may not necessarily pursue the cases of the deceased seriously due to identity issues. Most of them will be attributed to gang fights and the blame will be placed on the gangs.
"So, this person killed Dr. House and the call girl in the darkroom, and then moved Dr. House's body to the first floor to be discovered. Does this mean that he killed the call girl just by chance?
, his real target is Doctor House, the murderer wants to convey such a message to people? "
Lu Kan suddenly had an inspiration.
"It's like trying to figure out who the murderer is in a novel, but accidentally drew two wrong names, and then wrote the real murderer's name again on the page in order to prevent others from admitting their mistakes."
"...You are such a wicked person."
Drizzt couldn't help but complain.
But then I thought about it, Lu Kan’s statement seemed to make some sense?
