No.14 Disciple: Death Puzzle

Chapter 39 Reproductive Worship
Through the author profiles of several books, Zhuo Qingshan had a general understanding of Chang Xin.Chang Xin was a professor in the Department of Psychology of Xijing University, an expert in abnormal psychology and criminal psychology, and has won many national honors.What follows is an introduction to Professor Chang Xin's published works, including the psychology textbooks currently being used by many colleges and universities.

After reading these similar profiles of authors, Zhuo Qingshan always feels that these written words are like hay laid on top of a trap, and other secrets about Professor Chang Xin are behind the words and in the trap.

Zhuo Qingshan saw a photo of Professor Chang Xin next to the introduction of a book. It was a middle-aged man with gray hair and a short beard.Zhuo Qingshan didn't know when this photo was taken, so she couldn't be sure whether Professor Chang Xin was what he looked like in the photo before he passed away.

Zhuo Qingshan didn't have the heart to flip through these books, so she at most read the preface and table of contents of each book, and after knowing what was said in it, she closed it and put it aside.Before she knew it, the sleepy Zhuo Qingshan fell asleep on the table. When she woke up, she found that she was wearing a thin coat, and Li Weijiang had already returned to the table, reading a book with relish. A book he just took off the shelf.

"Director Li, don't sleep all night, aren't you sleepy?"

Zhuo Qingshan yawned as she spoke, and closed the book in front of her. "I'm getting older and less sleepy. It's not a problem if I don't sleep occasionally." Li Weijiang chuckled, "Besides, it's very quiet here during the day, so it's suitable for sleeping in." Zhuo Qingshan couldn't hold back her curiosity, she Standing up and coming to the railing, I saw An Youlin constantly flipping through and searching among a large pile of books.Zhuo Qingshan couldn't figure out what An Youlin's goal was, but just as Li Weijiang said, An Youlin didn't need the help of others. He moved quickly and could not allow others to intervene.

"It's dawn now, and the museum will open in a few hours." Zhuo Qingshan looked at the time, and it was already 06:30 in the morning. "I've been sleeping for so long?" "Little girl, what else can you do if you don't sleep?"

Zhuo Qingshan gritted her teeth, and finally asked the doubts in her heart: "Director Li, do you know about the 'Weijin Square Case'?"

Li Weijiang seemed to have been prepared for a long time, he moved his gaze from the page, looked at Zhuo Qingshan and said, "Little girl, you are a policeman, you should know more about such things than me, right?"

This answer left Zhuo Qingshan at a loss as to what to say. She couldn't say bluntly that even the police might not understand the case back then.

"Can you tell me about Professor Chang Xin? Why did he participate in the 'Weijin Plaza case'? What did An Youlin do in that case?"

Zhuo Qingshan was already sure that Chang Xin was the consultant who was rumored to have died in the case that year, so she was very interested in what role An Youlin played in solving the case.

Li Weijiang frowned, as if in an ideological struggle.Zhuo Qingshan tried her best to suppress her urge to persuade Li Weijiang, she was worried that if she couldn't say a certain sentence well, the result would be half the effort.

"Hey, the case back then, most people thought it was just a case that happened in Viking Plaza, but there was actually something behind it..."

"Xiao Zhuo, we can go!" An Youlin quietly appeared at the door, holding a few books in his hand, Li Weijiang jumped up immediately when he saw An Youlin's actions.

"What are you doing, kid? Are you taking the books away again?" Li Weijiang bowed his waist and walked towards the door, "You are going to cause trouble for me again!"

Zhuo Qingshan felt sorry for not being able to finish listening to Li Weijiang's narration of the case back then. She sighed, stood up, put her clothes on the back of the chair, and followed the two out of the door.Li Weijiang quickly followed An Youlin, who was holding a book, out the door and rushed in front of him.

"Are you taking the book away without saying a word? Last time I just..." An Youlin quickened his pace and shuttled through the corridor, and came to the bottom of the stairs: "Master, don't worry, I will take the borrowed book away." The title of the book you left is written on the paper on the table in the hall downstairs, you can use it to register..."

"Two different things! These are two different things! What you do is not in line with the library's borrowing procedures!" Li Weijiang followed An Youlin, very anxious, but he was too old to keep up with An Youlin's speed.Arriving at the corridor leading to the main entrance of the library on the first floor, Zhuo Qingshan looked at the sky outside through the window. Although it was a little brighter, it was still dull outside, and the dark clouds had not dissipated.The three came to the lobby at the main entrance of the library, but Li Weijiang stood in front of An Youlin and refused to open the door to give way.

"Come on, why don't I bring you a bottle of good wine next time?" An Youlin held an old black leather bag in one hand and a book in the other.Li Weijiang gritted his teeth and said to An Youlin, "Two bottles!"

"Success!" "Little brat!"

Only then did Li Weijiang open the door muttering, and let the two of them out.The air outside was oppressive, Zhuo Qingshan followed An Youlin towards the dilapidated car.

After getting in the car, Zhuo Qingshan's attention was entirely on the few books in her hand. These books covered a wide range of topics and seemed to have nothing to do with them. They were all about botany, folk culture, and even Xijing City Chronicle.

An Youlin didn't start the car, he picked up his cell phone and dialed out. "Are you all in the team?" An Youlin murmured, "I'll be there right away!"

Zhuo Qingshan guessed that An Youlin was calling Captain Luo Gang, An Youlin glanced at her, and continued to talk to the phone: "She is with me. I found out! Well, that's right! You are in a meeting... ... We are at Xijing University, we have already boarded the bus, and we are leaving now!"

An Youlin started the car and drove towards the gate of Xijing University. It was already the morning rush hour in Xijing City. The car stopped and went. Every time Zhuo Qingshan saw a subway station, she had the urge to get off and take the subway .

An Youlin was not in a hurry at all, he had come out of the tense state of the day before, and he was indifferent to everything.

"Have you found the result of your investigation? Tell me about it?" Zhuo Qingshan unceremoniously took out a bottle of mineral water from the back seat, and unscrewed the lid.

"I'll tell everyone when I return to the Criminal Investigation Brigade later, don't worry, I can't finish it in a few words now." An Youlin changed the subject, "Director Li cooked noodles for you?"

Zhuo Qingshan, who was drinking water, nodded quickly and almost choked on the water: "Ahem cough...the taste...is pretty good!"

An Youlin smiled without saying a word, his face full of mystery.Back at the Criminal Investigation Brigade, An Youlin got out of the car and walked quickly to the corridor with a book in his hands. Zhuo Qingshan quickly followed An Youlin's old black leather bag.When he came to the door of the meeting room, An Youlin pushed the door open and entered.The lingering sound of Guo Junfeng who was talking did not fade away, and everyone's eyes were fixed on An Youlin who had just entered the door.Zhuo Qingshan followed into the conference room, and saw that the conference room was full of members of the Criminal Investigation Brigade, including Director Zhao Hongjun.When everyone looked away from An Youlin and turned to herself, Zhuo Qingshan felt a huge aura almost forcing her out of the door.

An Youlin held the book and came to the table at the front of the meeting room. He glanced at the photo on the projection screen. It was the photo of the crime scene in the Tangning mansion.

"We were all wrong!" An Youlin's first words startled everyone, and then he motioned to Xu Qingqing, who was manipulating the projection: "Please do me a favor, get the case of the male corpse in Huangyin Mountain Post the live photos for everyone!"

Just as Xu Qingqing switched photos, Song Chunming and You Tao looked at Zhuo Qingshan who had just sat down.Zhuo Qingshan shook her head at the two of them, expressing that she didn't know what An Youlin was going to say.

The projection has switched to a photo of the deceased Zhao Chen placed under the cypress tree, An Youlin said to everyone: "At first, we preliminarily judged that the deceased died of love based on his cause of death, clothing, living habits and his special hobbies. However, a second similar case happened yesterday, and when I entered the scene yesterday, I found that the two cases had too many similarities."

Then, An Youlin reminded Xu Qingqing to switch the photos again, and change the photos to the photos of the periphery of the scene on the top of Huangyin Mountain.The projection immediately turned into a photo of the shooting scene in the distance. In the photo, the deceased Zhao Chen was still lying peacefully under the big cypress tree.

"We ignored the location of the abandoned corpse!" An Youlin seemed to be lecturing in the classroom of Xijing University. He picked up a book on the table, opened a folded page, and handed the book to Director Zhao Hongjun . "The place where the corpse was abandoned is under the big cypress tree on the top of Huangyin Mountain. The big cypress tree is very old. Another important point is that the cypress tree has a special symbolic meaning." An Youlin went back to the table and flipped through other books. Everyone All eyes turned to the big cypress tree in the projected photo. "The cypress, in ancient times, had the symbolic meaning of reproductive worship. Of course, the cypress also has another meaning—rebirth!" After finding out another book, An Youlin continued to say to the crowd, "That's why there are still It is a custom to plant cypress trees next to the graves of relatives, hoping that relatives can be reincarnated and get a new life."
