I'm a detective for Dongchang

Chapter 156 Copper plate?

A villager who happened to pass by here witnessed the sudden tragedy with his own eyes. He screamed out in fright, and immediately reminded Yuan Yanxi and others. Bring Wang Yuanzhi.

Immediately, she wanted to go upstairs to see where Qin Huaishi fell, and Yuan Yanxi also followed.

"Beixue, get more torches, I want to see every corner of the second floor."

"Yes!"

After a while, Bei Xue and Xing Yun respectively inserted several torches on the wooden wall, illuminating the whole room brightly.

Lu Xizhi held his nose and took a quick look. This place is the same as downstairs, with yellow talismans plastered on all four walls and many incense altars. It should be the smell of incense, but it is overwhelmed by the smell of garbage piled up all over the floor. covered it.

Qin Huaishi's...bed, if a few wooden boards are framed on bricks, can also be called a bed, it is full of oily paper for packaging food, and there are all kinds of rancid and moldy residues, a black and oily quilt There are a few cockroaches crawling on it.

She couldn't hold back her nausea, and retched a few times. Just as she recovered, the people around her also vomited a few times.

"Qin Huaishi is really crazy, how can this be a place where people live?" Bei Xue said disgustedly.

The rooms are all airtight, but Qin Huaishi fell from upstairs, so Lu Xizhi concluded that there must be a place to reach the roof.

She spoke out her conjecture, and several people began to look for places like stairs or secret passages.

Several people searched for a long time and moved the 'bed' away. Finally, behind the head of the bed, they found a secret passage for people to get into.

Lu Xizhi wanted to go in and have a look.

"Slow down." Yuan Yanxi grabbed her, "Listen."

She calmed down, listened carefully, whispering, creaking...

Lu Xiyi was taken aback, wouldn't she?
Bei Xue flung the torch handsomely.

heh!
A bunch of mice, these mice don't seem to be afraid of people, their eyes are like small light bulbs staring at the few humans in front of them.

Lu Xizhi's whole body was itchy immediately, she put her hands on her shoulders, and slowly retreated behind Bei Xue, scratching her arms non-stop.

"Afraid of mice?" Yuan Yanxi laughed at her.

"It feels very disgusting and dirty."

Lu Xizhi had a headache. She was very professional, but it didn't mean she didn't feel disgusted by these things. In desperation, she had no choice but to retreat downstairs and wait for other people to arrive before checking.

"Detective Lu."

Lu Xizhi just took a breath when he heard a familiar greeting.

"Captor Zhao?!"

Zhao Xuanwu nodded, greeted her, and walked over energetically with the sword at his waist.

"Butou Zhao, why are you here?" She saw Qi Yong who was talking to some villagers not far away.

Zhao Xuanwu touched the corner of his mouth in embarrassment, his eyes turned slightly to the right and back.

Lu Xizhi looked over, and saw two burly, unattractive men, looking around normally, and aware of Lu Xizhi's gaze, the two avoided her gaze with a tacit understanding, and inspected the house and the corpses on the ground.

"These are the people Dali Temple sent to assist. One is Wu Li and the other is Wu Qiang." Zhao Xuanwu said.

It appears that this is following them.

Footsteps came from behind, Yuan Yanxi came over and stood shoulder to shoulder with her.

"Director Yuan."

Yuan Yanxi nodded.

Wu Li and Wu Qiang also hurried over to greet him.

"Since Mr. Cao is so caring, then you can help him share a little bit. Qin Huaishi is usually elusive, and there seems to be a lot of things buried around here. Go find them."

The two did not dare to disagree, and walked towards both sides of the house separately.

The people from Dongchang came quickly, and Yuan Yanxi quickly gave a few orders, and the men in black dispersed in all directions.

Qi Yong was not idle here either, Lu Xizhi also saw Zhang Dong and Wen Yiming whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

They have already found the neighbors closest to Qin Huaishi and asked about relevant clues and Qin Huaishi's situation.

The villagers from several households were very enthusiastic, and Zhang Dong and Wen Yiming were almost overwhelmed by what they said.

Qin Huaishi's body was lying in front of the door like that, but the men onlookers were not afraid, they stared and whispered, how had the female villagers seen such a bloody scene, half of their heads were smashed, and they covered their mouths and vomited. up.

Lu Xizhi walked around the house, the houses in the small village were very scattered, and within a hundred meters of the Qin family's old house, there was nothing but weeds.

The Qin family's house is also different from other houses. Not only is it taller, but most importantly, there is not even a single window. Lu Xizhi looked carefully and found that it was not that there were no windows, but that they were blocked with bricks.

She heard Qi Yong questioning an old man who seemed to know something about the Qin family, so Lu Xizhi approached them.

"This kid from the Qin family, since he came back more than a year ago, he has completely changed. He is obviously a mature man, but he looks older than my old bones. Cough cough cough..."

"Old man, please speak slowly." Lu Xizhi said with a smile.

The old man thought to himself, this girl is so handsome.

"Kid Qin's personality is getting weirder and weirder. He doesn't go out during the day, but he always likes to wear a black robe at night, with his hair disheveled and frightening. In the middle of the night, he's still howling."

When the old man said this, several villagers around came to respond, and they all said that Qin Huaishi had been frightened by Qin Huaishi at night. He only went out during the day for almost half a month, and then bought a lot of food, and then Just lock yourself at home and wait until it gets dark before you come out and act.

He often followed the villagers without saying anything. When the villagers were about to arrive home, he would suddenly scream loudly to scare them. Timid women would be scared to death by him, but if they met brave ones, they would Beat him well, but next time he will do the same.

Lu Xizhi confirmed his guess even more. Qin Huaishi had a mental illness, just like he just now, while everyone was talking, sneaked into the secret passage, went up to the top of the building, and then jumped down, jumping so resolutely and simply.

What is he afraid of?Why did he suddenly come back after being missing for so long?
It's a pity that Qin Huaishi is dead and has no other relatives. There is no way to confirm whether he really has schizophrenia. Lu Xizhi knows too little about mental illness, so he can only speculate based on Qin Huaishi's reaction.

Another clue to the skinning case was broken, leaving an even bigger mystery instead.

What did Qin Huaishi discover a few years ago that would make such a huge difference in him.

After Wang Yuanzhi inspected it, he asked the man in black to take the body back to Dongchang.

Yuan Yanxi came over and said to her: "Those rats have been cleaned up, and the whole house has been carefully inspected. Some suspicious objects have also been packed, and they are taken back together. Let's go to the secret passage to see if we can find anything."

The secret passage was very narrow and could only accommodate one person. Yuan Yanxi was tall and obviously couldn't get in. Lu Xizhi was the only one who could be considered petite, so she asked them to wait where they were and go up to see by herself.

Yuan Yanxi knew that she would not give up, so she could only say: "If there is any noise, I will order people to demolish the building, please pay attention to safety."

Lu Xizhi nodded.

She 'walked' up slowly, waited until she reached the highest point, took over the torch, and only then did she see what the top floor looked like.

This is a very small attic, seven to eight flat, with a thick layer of dust, just like the downstairs, it has not been cleaned for a long time, but it is relatively clean. She used a torch to patrol for a week, and there was nothing. Come, there is no mystery, she explained the situation to the people downstairs and prepared to go down.

When he turned around, his hair was caught by something.

"Ah." She was hurt by being dragged.

"Xixi!"

boom!
It was obviously the sound of head hitting the partition.

"It's okay, it's too narrow, I accidentally touched it." She said quickly.

Lu Xizhi groped for the hair on the top of his head, and slowly pulled it out.

"Snapped"

something fell.

Lu Xizhi picked it up, copper plate?
This is a round copper plate, about the size of an ordinary copper coin, but the word "Yong" is printed on the front and back.

This is not copper money, where did it come from?
"Xixi, come down quickly." Yuan Yanxi was already anxious.

"Ah, here we come."

Put the coins away and go downstairs to meet them.

When they went back, Lu Xizhi heard that Zhao Xuanwu seemed a little downcast on the horse, and told Qi Yong and the others about Qin Huaishi's previous bravery.

Lu Xizhi also sighed softly, if they hadn't come, perhaps Qin Huaishi would not have died.
