I was just solving crimes, how could I become an immortal?

Chapter 53 Early Death and Early Rebirth

There are many vendors in the East Market.

Some merchants have traveled thousands of miles to resell goods here, but they don't want to go to the West Market to sell them at low prices. It is a good way out to come to the East Market to visit a dock and join the Chamber of Commerce to jointly ship goods.

Where everyone is in front of you is the other courtyard of the Nanlin Chamber of Commerce.

As the New Year is approaching, Das, the president of the Nanlin Chamber of Commerce, has made an appointment with a group of members to gather together to encourage this prosperous era and to gather opinions for the operation of the business in the coming year.

I just didn't expect that a murder would happen at this venue.

After all, business secrets were involved. In order to consider the privacy of the members, many side rooms for discussion were set aside in the courtyard of the venue.

The two deceased were killed during a private meeting.

"Then you keep saying that Xiaojiu killed someone, did you see her do it with your own eyes?" Cao An turned to ask everyone.

This case looks a bit tricky, and it may be difficult to solve it in a short time. Considering that Xiaojiu is still a child, it is not good to stay in such a place all the time. It is better to help her get rid of the suspicion first and let the child go back to rest.

"But she was at the scene of the crime at that time, and... she was still staring at the two corpses coldly." Some of the onlookers witnessed the situation at that time, and their voices trembled a little when they spoke.

Even an adult would tremble a little when facing a corpse, but this little girl was actually calm and composed, and even felt a little... relished?
  The frightened people suspected that she was a monster, so they hurriedly invited the Demon Slayer Department to check.

Ying Huorong heard this and immediately became unhappy: "Xiao Jiu has a clumsy personality and a good heart. Normally she wouldn't even trample an ant to death. How could she kill someone?"

"That's right. Since you didn't see the murder process, you just saw her at the scene of the crime. It really can't be used as a reason for identification." Cao An also helped to speak.

Perhaps because she was very grateful to her brothers and sisters for protecting her, Xiaojiu raised her head and looked at them seriously.

First, he responded to Tinder and said, "You will live a long life."

Then he said to Cao An: "You are going to die soon."

Cao An:? ? ?
  What's going on with this little brat, he's been cursing me to death for nothing? Cao An pointed at Zhu Xian beside him: "What about him?"

Xiaojiu glanced at Zhu Xian's fat face: "He will live longer than you."

Cao An:......

What a vicious kid, I started to believe what those people said. This Xiaojiu is really suspicious.

Das also stood up at this time and explained: "Sir, we don't want to embarrass this girl. In fact, she...she is really not normal."

"How abnormal is it? Is it possible that she can still admit that she killed someone?"

"Yes, I killed the person." A confessional voice actually came out of Xiao Jiu's mouth.

Ying Huorong quickly rubbed her little head: "You kid, what are you talking nonsense about? How could you be the one who killed me? By the way, I haven't asked you yet, why did you appear at the crime scene?"

"I followed them in." Xiao Jiu pointed to the corpse on the ground with a calm expression: "They all deserved to die, so come here and take a look."

hiss~~~
  After saying this, even Cao An felt a big headache.

It's annoying enough that only two of the four corpses appear, but why is there a 9-year-old girl admitting that she is the murderer?

"You, go jump again." Ding Jie once again ordered his men to jump to prevent Xiao Jiu from becoming a monster.

Now that he is a human being, he feels that something is wrong with Xiaojiu.

There was another burst of yelling, and finally Xiao Jiumao was relieved. His face was neither sad nor happy, but his little hand pulled out a bright dagger from his black robe.

"If you scream again, I'll stab you." The cute tone and fierce words instantly caused the surrounding people to scream.

Das even ran to Cao An, pointed at Xiao Jiu and said, "Look! Sir, this is the murder weapon, this dagger is the murder weapon."

"Impossible! I gave this dagger to Xiaojiu." Ying Huorong quickly clarified: "I taught her what she said, just to scare bad guys. You see there is no blood on the dagger, so it must not be her."

"But this girl is a monster. God knows if she licked the blood on the knife clean."

There were more and more gossips around her, but Xiaojiu still had the same expression of neither joy nor sadness. She didn't know what illness she had, and it was very difficult to communicate.

"Okay, Tinder, keep an eye on Xiao Jiu. If you can get any clues, try to ask. She is not the murderer, but this case is indeed a bit strange."

"Are you sure? The knife marks on these corpses are very similar!" Ding Jie, who had been watching, finally couldn't help but join the investigation.

The side hall where the crime occurred was not big, and there were only a few simple sets of furniture in the room. The two deceased fell down beside the tea table, squatting down to look at the bodies. The injuries were very obvious.
  "The deceased, Zhao Qian, 35 years old, seemed to have been hit on the head by an iron incense burner. His skin and flesh were torn, and there was a fatal knife wound on his chest."

"The deceased, Du Liang, was 52 years old. He was also stabbed in the heart. Huh? There seems to be another stab-like wound. Was it stabbed from behind?"

It has to be said that although Ding Jie said he didn't care about personnel matters, he was also quite professional in handling the case.

Unfortunately, that's all.

The only doubt was the two fatal wounds on Du Liang's body. Could it be that he was not stabbed to death in the first blow, but was hit by another blow?
  "To be honest, judging from the current situation, the dagger in this girl's hand is really suspicious. How do you determine that she is not the murderer?" Ding Jie stood up and asked with some doubts.

"It's very simple. It can be judged from the movement trajectory at the crime scene."

A white light flashed in Cao An's eyes, and the world instantly turned into a vast expanse of white. Strange green winds floated on the ground, gradually forming two cumbersome action trajectories.

This is the power of his new talent [Miracle Walker], which can pick out traces related to the case from the messy scene.

From the two sitting at the tea table at the beginning, to the extremely chaotic pace at the end.

"They must have struggled. Some of the injuries on their bodies were caused by fighting."

Ding Jie listened to Cao An's analysis, looked at the messy scene, and secretly sighed that his reputation was well-deserved.

Looking at step marks is the most basic case-handling skill for police officers. They can even judge the gender and body shape of the prisoner through the strength and size of the footprints.

But many times, the conditions at the crime scene are difficult to protect.

Just like at this moment, at least dozens of panicked people had come in. The ground was a mess, and bloody footprints were everywhere, making it impossible to distinguish them.

Cao An was actually able to figure out the clues from it. He was really a detective.

"Don't be happy so early. This case still cannot be explained."

Cao An looked at the track on the ground. Suddenly a third person appeared. Or did he suddenly walk in from outside the house, then pass in front of the two of them, and then go out again?

"Huh? Then what you said doesn't coincide with the fact that this girl entered the house and killed someone?"

"What's the deal? The two of them were fighting to the death inside, and Xiaojiu suddenly opened the door and walked in, each of them stabbing each other? Don't you think it's outrageous?"

"Well, that's right." Ding Jie scratched his head, still feeling that this personnel matter was too troublesome.

Killing monsters is still refreshing. With one hammer strike, your brain explodes. It's really comfortable.

Closing his eyes, [Please close your eyes when it gets dark] could not be activated. He pointed his fingers on their heads and only said a few simple words as his last words.

Du Liang: "Damn it, you bastard!"

Zhao Qian: "You, you..."

It has no reference value! Cao An opened his eyes and felt that the case had reached a deadlock.

In fact, there are only two corpses here, and the remaining murders are still unknown, which is a bit troublesome.

When Cao An was in trouble, Ying Huorong suddenly pulled Xiao Jiu over and ran over: "Cao An, Cao An, I finally asked Xiao Jiu to explain the reason clearly!"

"Oh really?"

For this indifferent girl, perhaps only a monster like Ying Huorong can communicate with her.

Cao An looked at Xiao Jiu's cute face, and the other person responded with an indifferent expression and said a few words indifferently: "Respect the fate of others, die early and be born early."

"..."

Are you so sane in this world? Where did Xiaojiu learn this...

"Wait, will you die early and be born again?" Cao An suddenly had an idea and looked at the room and then at the crowd.

"Perhaps this is the key to solving the case."
