Ling Fei is his subordinate. He has solved many cases with him and knows him very well.
Before Shen Chi arrived, Ling Fei investigated the scene and then told what he learned: "The deceased's name was Niu Erlang, and he was responsible for the night watch.
His body was found here early this morning. It was initially determined that the time of death was around midnight last night. The cause of death is not yet known.
However, it rained last night and no traces of the murderer were found at the crime scene.
The person who reported the crime was a clerk at Qingfeng Restaurant. When he opened the door in the morning, he saw blood on the doorstep, and that's when he discovered Niu Erlang's body.
His subordinates have already sent people to inquire about Niu Erlang's life. As for the real cause of his death, it still needs to be determined by his wife.
It's just that the deceased's expression was horrified and he never closed his eyes, as if..."
He paused and whispered his guess: "It was like he saw something terrible before he died."
Ling Fei is already very familiar with the process of this kind of murder. He was promoted by Shen Chi. He is steady and careful in his work and is highly valued by Shen Chi.
There has been no murder case in this capital for a long time since Shen Chi took charge of Dali Temple.
It was the first time for him to look at the whole Nanyue for such a heart-breaking case, and it was also the first time for him to see someone look like this after death.
Chen Chi's eyes darkened slightly. He stared at Niu Erlang's body on the ground and frowned involuntarily.
After a while, he said: "The deceased was indeed greatly frightened before his death."
And he died at the moment of being frightened.
Ling Fei was stunned for a moment, then Wuzuo hurried over. He hurriedly bowed to Shen Chi, and then went to examine Niu Erlang's body.
When he opened Niu Erlang's clothes and saw the empty chest, his expression suddenly changed and he withdrew his hand in horror.
Shen Chi asked: "What's wrong?"
Wuzuo said with a pale face: "The deceased was alive and had his heart ripped out before he was alive. This method... does not... doesn't seem to be man-made."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked.
Ling Fei was even more stunned. He frowned and said, "Tell me clearly, what does it mean that it is not man-made? Is it possible that it is not man-made? Or is it the work of monsters?"
He thought this was ridiculous. This Niu Erlang was not killed by humans, how could it be something else?
Wu Zuo wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said: "Look at the wounds on this corpse. If they were man-made, the wound surface would definitely be uneven, and it would never be so smooth.
The traces of this wound look like finger marks, but it is impossible for an ordinary human hand to reach into the chest and dig out the heart instantly, even the most powerful master cannot do it!"
Ling Fei couldn't help but murmur when he heard what he said so eloquently. Thinking of the death of the deceased, he couldn't help but trembled. He looked at Shen Chi and said, "Sir, what do you think?"
Shen Chi snorted coldly: "What is it that is not done by human beings? I think this is someone who is pretending to be a ghost."
He didn't believe there were any ghosts in the world, but the murderer was just using the theory of ghosts to avoid being traced.
Ling Fei nodded: "Your Majesty is right. This murderer is pretending to be a ghost to disturb the people's hearts. He deserves to die."
Chen Chi looked back at the people who were watching, and saw that they were gathered around and talking, so he walked over and said: "The murderer is man-made, not a ghost. If you have any clues that you can provide to Dali Temple, I will definitely have them." Great reward."
When the people heard this, they stopped guessing. After all, Shen Chi was famous here. If he said it was man-made, it must be man-made.
People from Dali Temple inspected the crime scene again, and after confirming that it was correct, they took Niu Erlang's body back to the Yamen.
