Yin Yang Tomb Raider

Chapter 244 Suicide, return to Yang

Hua Ji was still sleeping. I didn't wake her up. I left a note and went to the university. The place where the accident happened to the professor is very familiar. It was his dormitory in the university. In the dormitory, although it is a single room, it is not a home after all. The professor has invested all his savings for so many years in research, and now...

I wiped my face and let myself concentrate on driving. When I arrived at the professor’s dormitory, the professor’s body had already been transported away, leaving only Tao Ran on the scene. The shape of the body lying on the ground was drawn with a white line on the ground. Seeing this human figure, I was in great pain, my nose was swollen all the time, I don't believe it, I don't believe the professor would commit suicide!

Tao Ran stood across from me, with an open door between us, her eyes were far away, her mouth was tightly pursed, and finally, she said: "The professor committed suicide, he hung on the bed with a rope. On the door frame, I put my head in. After suffocation, the rope broke, and I fell to the ground. Lying on the ground like this, the cleaning aunt knocked on the door and found that there was no suicide note. According to the management staff of the dormitory, the professor The mood was bad for two days, and they sighed frequently, and they felt that there was a high possibility of suicide."

I noticed that Tao Ran used "they think", and I said, "What about you, what do you think?"

"The Western Xia wine book is missing." Tao Ran said, "Although I haven't found any trace of the murder, the disappearance of this thing seems to imply something to me. I will continue to investigate, Lin Tianyi, what do you think?"

"I don't believe it. The professor promised me to live a good life." I said, "He always kept his word."

"My colleagues told me that Assistant Professor Chen participated in the professor's book, and the university even considered dismissing the professor. The professor's teaching has been suspended and he will rest indefinitely." It caused a heavy psychological burden, so I committed suicide with sufficient motivation, and I checked the dormitory surveillance, no strangers came in and out, the professor stayed alone in the dormitory yesterday, and ordered takeaway once in the middle, and the delivery person was also a very familiar guy, the dormitory management The staff know this, we have asked the staff to confirm this, the professor ordered a favorite braised eggplant, served with a big bone corn soup, and a box of rice, the staff said that the professor loves this kind of food, so he called Without talking, they know what the professor wants."

Tao Ran looked far away, and my heart moved: "How can a person who wants to commit suicide have such an appetite?"

"I thought about it too, but it doesn't rule out that the professor wants to take his own life after a full meal." Tao Ran said, "Until the truth is found, all kinds of hypotheses can be established."

"You're so calm." I said angrily.

Tao Ran shrugged: "This is a professional instinct. When investigating a case, I can't put my personal feelings in it. The most important thing for me is to find the truth."

"Aside from your professional instincts, you are not Officer Tao now, but an ordinary woman who knows the professor." I said, "Which situation do you prefer?"

"It is impossible for a person who is ready to kill himself to have such a good appetite, especially when ordering takeaway, the tone is the same as usual, without any obvious abnormalities." Tao Ran said: "I don't spend much time with the professor, just these few days That's it, the most sensitive feeling of a woman tells me that the professor is not someone who will easily abandon his life, so his death must be suspicious, Lin Tianyi, are you satisfied?"

"Very good, 100% satisfied, we both think the same." I said, "Is there anything suspicious at the scene?"

"Everything in the luggage has been laid out, the clothes are neatly placed in the closet, the toiletries in the bathroom have been used, and the professor woke up early." Tao Ran said: "The water on the toothbrush is not dry yet, and the towel is wet .”

"The professor has always had the habit of waking up early," I said. "This fully shows that the professor got up to wash up as usual, and last night he ordered takeaway and had a meal. Everything looked the same as usual, and there is one more thing..."

My eyes swept across the bookshelf in the living room, and then fell on the desk: "The professor is still reading at the last moment. How can a person who is about to commit suicide have such leisure time? The most important thing is that the "Book of Western Xia Wine" is gone. Since it has not been handed in, it is still in the hands of the professor."

"Yes, you have seen all the points I have paid attention to, and it will be easy if everyone agrees." Tao Ran said: "The leader of the disappearance case of the Xixia Royal Tomb will report it. He knows what kind of answer the higher-ups want. Don't worry about it, from now on, I will focus on investigating the death of the professor, you..."

"I'm going." Without waiting for Tao Ran to ask, I simply replied: "See the professor for the last time."

Tao Ran and I drove back and forth to the police station. We didn’t come back to the police mortuary. The old man who guarded the gate nodded slightly to me. The place is very cloudy, and Erguotou is a must. I stood at the door and didn't want to take another step. Tao Ran ignored me, walked to the refrigerator, pulled out one of the ice drawers, and looked back at me: "Come here. "

I walked over carefully, Tao Ran opened the zipper, the cold body reminded me that this is a dead person, but that face once smiled at me so kindly, just like my father, I don’t know when I was teaching I found fatherly love in my body, and I truly respect the professor as a father in my heart. I believe the professor can also feel it. He is very careful and patient when talking to me. The knowledge I learned from him will be useful throughout my life. I put both hands on the refrigerator , Tears finally couldn't stop falling, Tao Ran looked at me in astonishment: "Lin Tianyi, you are crying."

I wiped away my tears: "What's so great about crying."

I took a deep breath and reached out to caress the professor's temples: "Has the professor's family heard the news?"

"The professor's family is out of town, and they will come over tomorrow." Tao Ran said, "It happened suddenly, and they are also very sad, and the most important thing now is to protect the professor's reputation, so I will definitely not let the professor die Declared as suicide, the form of death is too important for a scholar like a professor, Lin Tianyi, do you believe me?"

"I believe." I said firmly, "You can do it."

"In this case, leave this matter to me, and you can accompany Hua Ji well." Tao Ran's eyes lit up: "I don't believe that Hua Ji came here just to see you, but she left her newborn child behind. Still in the menstrual period."

Taking one last look at the professor in the refrigerator, I pushed the freezer back, "Let's have a chat."

I got into Tao Ran's car and told Hua Ji's words one by one. Tao Ran was expressionless at first, then finally raised his eyebrows, and finally said: "Go back to the Western Xia Royal Tomb, find the bodies of 49 people, let them return Positive?"

"That's right, this is the purpose of Hua Ji's visit this time." I said, "The spells of the six zombies are lit up, which is a clear sign that they think the time has come. As a human being, but..."

"But what?" Tao Ran asked.

"I have known Xiao Shenzhu for so long. I have heard him mention some knowledge about yin and yang. Death is the end. The so-called resurrection is against yin and yang. Even if the soul returns to the body, it is difficult to revive the body and breathe again. Resurrection and resurrection are totally different things." I wondered, "Besides, I don't know..."

"I don't know if it's right or wrong to do this?" Tao Ran said in a sentence: "Since hesitating, it's better to slow down and give yourself room to think. You should ask Munro the question, he is the little magic stick in your mouth, he has more say."

"By the way, Meng Luo was very excited when Xiao He died, and wanted to seal Xiao He's three souls and seven souls." I said, "But the grandpa said that in this way, Xiao He will never be reincarnated, and even If he couldn't be revived, would Mengluo have seen some thaumaturgy in "Anecdote and Secret Art" not long after he got it? Well, Tao Ran, if there is anything to call, I will go to Lao Jiu's house first. "

"If it's convenient, I'd like to visit Hua Ji." Tao Ran said suddenly, "You don't mind?"

"What do you want to do?" I asked warily.

"Don't do anything." Tao Ran said: "My friend's lover is here, and she just gave birth, can I go and take care of her? The flowers in the back seat are for her, and there is a set of baby supplies, do you mind? "

I breathed a sigh of relief, and felt sorry for Tao Ran: "I'm sorry, after all, you guys had a festival before, and I overreacted just now, so I apologize to you."

"No, I know who you are anyway." Tao Ran waved his hand, "Get out of the car, everyone go their own way."

Why does this sound wrong?Before I recalled it, Tao Ran had already pushed me out of the car. Her face was not very good-looking. I wanted to say a few more words. She had already started the car and headed for my house. I shrugged and went to find Mengluo.

That kid was very unaccustomed to living in Lao Jiu's house, when he opened his mouth and saw me, he screamed: "Lin Tianyi, you're finally here."

The living room is full of beer cans, a strong smell of wine, and a smell of duck neck, I sniffed hard, um, it’s Zhou Hei Ya, and smelled it again, there was also a smell of hot dry noodles, Mengluo bitter Baba said: "Eating these things all day long, I can't take it anymore."

Lao Jiu lay on the sofa and said angrily: "It's only been one night, why are you crying, and you had a good time at the beginning."

"But you have to eat this for breakfast, isn't it too much?" Monroe was still calling, I pushed him in, and then pushed the beer can off the sofa: "All sit down, I have something to talk about. "

Seeing my serious expression, Lao Jiu immediately sat up cross-legged: "What's the matter?"
