Madam let me die

Chapter 40: Sky Cult!
Lin House.

The dark-colored tables and chairs are square and heavy, adding a gloomy atmosphere to the already cold room.

Li Nanke leaned on the sour branch chair, crossed his hands in front of his chest, and slightly closed his eyes.

On the hanging beam behind him, there is a noose tied.

Below is a dead body.

The corpse was none other than Lin Yuanwai.

In the room, Leng Xinnan and Guo Gang were investigating the scene, while the maid Xiang'er was talking about the situation.

"Last night, the master seemed to be normal. When he was about to sleep, he specifically asked the servants not to disturb him no matter what they heard."

Xiang'er didn't dare to look at the corpse on the ground, and said with a pale face. "This morning, I saw that the master has not come out of the room. Although I have doubts, I dare not knock on the door because of the master's instructions.

When it was almost noon, the housekeeper had something to report, but there was no answer when he knocked on the door. We realized that something was wrong, so we broke in... We saw, saw the master hanging here.

We were terrified and quickly put the master down, but the master has already..."

Xiang'er's eyes were filled with mist, and her voice choked up.

In any case, Lin Yuanwai was very kind to them on weekdays, but now that he has experienced the tragedy of his wife and children, it is even more sympathetic. I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen again.

"The strangulation mark was placed behind the left and right ears, it was dark purple, the eyes were closed and the lips were parted, and there were drops of saliva on the chest... Judging from the condition of the corpse, it is consistent with hanging himself."

Guo Gang said in a deep voice.

"suicide?"

Leng Xinnan frowned, and looked at Li Nanke who was sitting on the chair with beautiful eyes. After all, when it comes to autopsy, this is the professional.

Unfortunately, Li Nanke gave the same answer.

"Hanging himself without a doubt." Li Nanke said lightly. "But I just don't know whether he was forced by others, or he was poisoned by drugs or spells such as ecstasy."

Leng Xinnan walked up to the corpse, opened her eyelids, and asked Guo Gang to test the blood of the corpse with tools. After getting the results, she said to Li Nanke, "There are no traces of magic or drugs."

"That's being coerced."

Li Nanke looked at the two teacups on the table and said. "There was someone else in this room last night, and someone who was familiar with Lin Yuan."

Leng Xinnan wondered: "Familiar person? Who could it be?"

"I don't know who this mysterious person is, but it's definitely a woman."

Li Nanke got up and walked to the table next to the wall, picked up a teacup, and pointed to the little lip balm on the rim of the cup.

Then he gently scraped off the mark with his index finger, put it between his nose and smelled it for a while, and said lightly:

"In addition to comfrey and roselle, rose gold powder and winter sage are also added. If I remember correctly, winter sage is generally produced in the Tianshan Mountains of the Western Regions."

"That's right." Leng Xinnan nodded.

"Judging from the position of the teacup and the orientation of the teapot, there is a high probability that he is left-handed." Li Nanke walked to the wall and stared at a landscape painting in front of him. "Do you know the imprint pattern on this?"

pattern?

Leng Xinnan and the others stared.

Sure enough, there was a relatively obvious red imprint pattern on the painting, the size of a fist, and looked like a firebird from a distance.

"Sky Cult!"

Leng Xinnan's complexion changed abruptly.

The expressions on the faces of the others also changed

Li Nanke was puzzled: "What is Tianqiong Cult?"

Leng Xinnan patiently explained: "The Tianqiong Sect is a mysterious organization that specializes in opposing the imperial court. Its mission is 'On the sky, the red rain is the sky'. They believe that the red rain is a gift from the heavens and should not be Prohibition, should Fuze Wanmin.

There are many members of this sect, scattered all over the place, and some even have been inserted into the officials of various governments.Sometimes, they will carry out some organized activities, deliberately distribute the red rain medicinal materials, and cause trouble. "

Li Nanke understood.

To put it simply, it is a group of saboteurs with a strong sense of presence.

Li Nanke gave the answer: "It seems that people from Tianqiong Sect forced Lin Yuanwai to hang himself, so the previous doubts make sense. Lin Yuanwai himself is a latent member of Tianqiong Sect."

Hearing this, Guo Gang immediately rushed to Lin Yuanwai's body and took off his shoes.

I saw a pattern on the palm of my left foot.

It is exactly the same as the imprint on the painting, but the proportion is much smaller, the size of a copper coin.

"No wonder he doesn't want to have anything to do with the palace. It turns out that this is his secret."

Leng Xinnan suddenly realized.

Li Nanke sighed softly: "That's why I said that it was a very unwise choice for him to resurrect He Qingyu. I can only say that he was too emotional to get revenge on that woman, and put himself in it."

Leng Xinnan was in a complicated mood.

Once in contact with the 'Red Rain' case, they will be targeted by the government.

Apparently, the members of the Tianqiong Sect believed that Member Lin had the possibility of revealing his identity, so they eliminated him.

And judging from Lin Yuanwai's instructions to Xiang'er last night, he probably also realized that he was in a bad situation.

Li Nanke caressed the pattern of Tianqiongjiao on the painting: "Generally, when we write on the wall, we usually write in a place parallel to the line of sight naturally, coupled with the size and clarity of the footprints left here, it can be inferred that , the murderer is about five feet tall and relatively light in stature."

Through Li Nanke's analysis, Leng Xinnan had a general understanding of the characteristics of the murderer.

She is a woman, about five feet tall, with a slender body, left-handed, and her mouth fat contains a rare ingredient of winter papaya.

Most importantly, this woman is a member of Tianqiong Cult.

"Guo Gang, take someone to patrol Dongqi County immediately." Leng Xinnan turned her head and ordered to Guo Gang.

Guo Gang was a little embarrassed: "But sister Leng, there is a shortage of manpower in both the county government and the night patrol department. Some are still searching for monsters in Yuncheng, and the other is chasing the monster Lao Qintou. And the case of Tianqiong Sect should not be let Shadow Guard Cha?"

"Has Lao Qintou been caught yet?"

Li Nanke raised his eyebrows and looked at Leng Xinnan.

Leng Xinnan was helpless: "I almost killed it last night, but it was a pity that one of the personnel made a mistake and let it escape. But now the monster Lao Qintou has been seriously injured and fled into the northern forest. Large-scale search and arrest should be found within three to five days."

"There's no need to waste time on a large-scale search. The monster Old Qintou is in the deep forest near Wenyan Mountain. You only need to search in a small area."

When Li Nanke heard the words 'northern mountains and forests', he directly gave his own judgment.

Everyone looked suspicious.

It's too mysterious, can you guess this?
Leng Xinnan, who had great trust in Li Nanke, felt a little ridiculous, and asked curiously, "How do you know?"

Li Nanke said: "Today I accompanied my wife to go up the mountain to collect herbs, and when I went down the mountain, I met a tiger. This is too rare."

tiger?

Leng Xinnan immediately became nervous: "Are you okay?"

"If something happens, can I still talk to you here?"

Li Nanke smiled and said. "It's just a tiger. I didn't intend to pay attention to it at first, but this guy bullied my pet goose sister. I couldn't get angry. I rushed up and beat him up, and I was beaten to death."

Listening to the man's words, the eyes of those present were somewhat suspicious.

"Of course, that's not the point."

Li Nanke continued. "The point is, when I was dealing with the corpse, I found a layer of red and black congealed soil on the tiger's claws. My wife used to collect medicine in the deep forest near Wenyan Mountain, and only there was this kind of hard-to-clean soil. dye.

So this tiger must have lived there for a long time, you must know that tigers have a strong sense of territory.But why did it suddenly leave its own territory and run to the middle of the mountain instead?
Apparently, an object that scares it has intruded into its territory, forcing it to wander. "

After listening to Li Nanke's analysis, everyone was amazed.

Sure enough, there is a smart person in the team who does things efficiently.

"Of course, speculation is always just speculation. The real situation can only be proved by seeing it with your own eyes. But I have already given the suggestion. As for what to do, it is your business."

Li Nanke put aside his responsibility.

Without any hesitation, Leng Xinnan said to Guo Gang: "Notify the investigators to conduct a small-scale search in the deep forest near Wenyan Mountain."

"clear."

Guo Gang hurried out of the room.

But just as the young man ran out of the room, he suddenly remembered something and came back again.

"Sister Leng, there is still one more serious problem."

Guo Gang looked serious. "Lin Yuanwai is dead, what about He Qingyu, the tomb man? Today is the last day."

When everyone heard this, they subconsciously cast their eyes on Li Nanke.

"What are you looking at me doing?"

Li Nanke was speechless.

(Author's Note: I read the chapter review just now and found that some readers did not fully understand the Grave Man.

Let me explain that the tomb man will not disappear after knowing that he is dead or seeing the corpse.

Grave people can only live for ten days, unless they are killed within ten days. )
