Soon, Xu Siqi came out of the main hall, showed his identity, and followed Zhike Monk to Dongkua Courtyard.
"Donor Li's family of eight is parked in Room 1, Tianzi. The young monk is entangled in worldly things, so I won't stay with him."
The monk Zhike clasped his hands together, turned around and left the Dongkua Courtyard.
There are a total of nine rooms in the east courtyard, plus nine rooms in the west courtyard, which are divided according to the "Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang" and are arranged in order.
All rooms are unlocked.
This is a morgue, so there is no need to lock it.
This case was very sensational. At first, a large number of reporters and busybodies rushed to the Fahua Temple just to get some gossip.
After so long, people's curiosity has gradually become dull.
Xu Siqi secretly determined to get to the bottom of this shocking case.
No matter what the reason is, the murderer should not kill women and children.
Not only the British Concession is investigating, the French Concession and the Chinese Concession are also assisting in the investigation. Allowing such a cruel villain to go unpunished is a potential danger to everyone.
Xu Siqi put on a mask and gloves and gently opened the door of Tianzi No. 1.
The strong smell of disinfectant hit my nostrils.
There were eight iron beds placed side by side in the room. The corpses were all covered with white shrouds. A tag card hung above the bed with the name of the corpse written on it.
Even in broad daylight, there was still an eerie feeling in the room.
The name of the first corpse is Li Yuanwu. He is an employee of the Shiliupu Post Office in the British Concession and the man of the family. He is thirty-five years old this year.
Next is his wife, who has no job and works at home to care for her husband, teach her children, wash and cook.
Next up are a pair of children, one is 10 years old and the other is only 6 years old.
Li Yuanwu's mother, who is over 60 years old, his younger brother Li Yuanlu, his sister-in-law, and his younger sister Li Yuanqi, who is not yet married, were not spared.
The whole family is happy and living together.
The shrouds were lifted one by one, and there were no obvious fatal injuries on the body. All the victims were strangled to death.
These circumstances were clearly written by the medical examiner in the autopsy report.
Xu Siqi is like this, he has to confirm everything.
After coming out of the morgue, throw the mask and gloves into the trash can.
Back in the car, Gu Linglong didn't look anxious at all and looked at Xu Siqi with a smile.
Xu Siqi smiled and said: "People's personalities are really different. If it were Qingcheng, I would definitely not be as stable as you. She would have run to me long ago."
"Qingcheng has a short temper."
"right."
"I'm just a little weird."
"What's weird?"
Gu Linglong said: "Whether you are here to investigate the case or burn incense and make a wish. It's the same with or without me. Why did you bring me here?"
Xu Siqi smiled: "Don't forget, in the eyes of outsiders, you are not Gu Linglong, but Gu Qingcheng. We are husband and wife. When you burn incense and make a wish for your aunt, how can you not bring your sister with you?"
Gu Linglong was silent for a moment and said, "So, I'm just a decoration."
Xu Siqi said: "I haven't found Sugawara Eda yet. I am doing this to protect you to the greatest extent."
Gu Linglong felt warm in her heart. She looked at Xu Siqi who was slowly reversing the car and couldn't help but said: "Siqi, I want to tell you something."
"What's up?"
"Actually, Sugawara-eda..."
Bang!
Xu Siqi braked suddenly.
It seemed like a hard object hit the trunk.
He opened the door and got out of the car, walked around to the back of the car and took a look. There was a pebble the size of a fist on the ground.
The trunk lid was dented.
Not far away, a thin boy ran quickly along the Hokke Bang.
Obviously, he is the perpetrator.
Xu Siqi shouted: "Hey, stop!"
The half-grown child heard it and ran faster.
Xu Siqi returned to the car, turned the car around and drove slowly along Fahuabang.
Gu Linglong asked: "What's wrong?"
"The child was naughty and accidentally hit the car."
"Naughty? I think he obviously did it on purpose."
"I guess he just threw it around..."
"Throwing it randomly? If such a big stone hits someone, it won't break the person. No, we can't just let this matter go!"
"Then what do you think we should do?"
"Catch him and teach him a lesson for his parents."
Xu Siqi smiled: "By the way, what did you say about Sugawara Eda just now?"
"What I want to say is that Sugawarae will be found sooner or later, so don't be too impatient..."
Gu Linglong also calmed down and changed her mind temporarily.
If he tells the truth now, it will not only do him no good at all, but will also attract severe criticism from Xu Siqi.
Lying is not an easy thing for Gu Linglong.
She didn't dare to make eye contact with Xu Siqi, and she couldn't just sit there without saying a word, so she had to pick up the document bag beside her and said, "What is this?"
"The files on the Haitangli Family Extermination Case." Xu Siqi replied, looking straight ahead.
"Can I take a look?"
"certainly."
Gu Linglong unbuckled the file bag and pulled out a stack of written materials, including more than twenty on-site photos of the deceased.
While driving, the tire pressed against a rock and the car jolted violently.
Gu Linglong was caught off guard, and the photos in her hand were scattered at her feet.
Xu Siqi slowed down the car so that Gu Linglong could pick up all the photos.
"I forgot about these photos... Linglong, you'd better stop looking at them."
"What's wrong?"
"They are all dead, don't you think it's unlucky."
"No matter what, as an agent, you will have to experience these things sooner or later."
"You are in the back office, so you are not supposed to be exposed to this kind of thing..."
Gu Linglong sighed in her heart, she had even killed living people, so why did she still care about looking at photos of dead people?
When they were in Wusongkou, Chen Huaibu came back and told her that Sugawara Eda was missing and was probably swept away by the waves.
——I didn’t kill Boren, but Boren died because of me!
This was Gu Linglong's mood at that time.
In order to get rid of the guilt in her heart, she went to Holy Trinity Church twice to confess to the priest.
Of course, in a euphemistic way.
Even when facing the priest, she did not dare to tell the truth.
Pick up the photo and put it aside.
One of the photos caught Xu Siqi's attention.
The photo shows Li Yuanwu, lying on his back on the ground, pointing in an awkward direction with one hand.
Under normal circumstances, the hands of the deceased are usually spread out naturally.
But Li Yuanwu's hand turned in a way it shouldn't have.
The time it took to get the dossier was short, and Xu Siqi only took a cursory look at the photos.
At this time, the car had caught up with the boy.
Beep!
Gu Linglong reached out and pressed the horn.
There was a sudden noise, and the young man stumbled and fell to the ground in panic.
The road is straight and there is no way he can outrun a car with four wheels.
Xu Siqi stopped the car and looked around.
On the right is Hokkehama, with large and small fishing boats moored in the river.
Almost every fishing boat has a rope tied to the bow, and the fish basket at the other end is sunk in the water.
