Chapter 267 Costumes, Coffin

Lao Jiu also walked in, we stayed in the room, Tao Ran and Huacheng got the tools back to the car and started working, nothing more than taking fingerprints and footprints, the most important thing is to look for hair, blood and other key things, the three of us stayed in the room , I carefully looked at this room, this is an ordinary house in a courtyard, a wooden bed, a wooden wardrobe, and a simple chest of drawers, the style is relatively old-fashioned, the most fashionable thing is probably the bedside lamp , some Western European style.

I went to the closet, opened it, and a set of costumes in the closet caught my attention: "Old Nine, look."

"The clothes worn by old students." Lao Jiu said immediately: "Old students in Beijing opera, these are the costumes used by old students."

"Tianyou?" I said, "Lao Jiu, your guess is getting more and more accurate. You like snuffing, your accent, and your costumes. They are getting closer and closer to what you call the Eight Banners. Descendants of the Eight Banners."

Laosheng mainly plays middle-aged men in Peking Opera. According to the original tradition of Peking Opera, whether it is Dai Heiman, or Dai Fusan, Yanman, Baisan, and Baiman, it does not belong to the scope of Laosheng's performance.Only those who wear black three can be regarded as real old students. The so-called black three refers to beards. Is this person a professional Peking opera actor, or is he just a joker?
This outfit is very good, but it’s a pity that the whole set takes up a lot of space and is not easy to carry. This is probably an important reason why the man didn’t take it away. Anyway, this guy won again. I sat on the bed helplessly. The bed board was old. With a "creak", Lao Jiu and I looked at each other and looked under the bed at the same time. The boss swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "There is something under the bed."

"I feel it." I said angrily, "There is space under the bed."

Munro urged, "Why don't you open it and take a look?"

Lao Jiu spat: "That guy likes to play tricks the most, what if it's another trap?"

Meng Luo suddenly had nothing to say, Lao Jiu asked me: "Do you want to see it?"

"It's up to you, Munro, where are your talismans?" I said, "A few more will save you a lot of trouble."

Meng Luo nodded, took out the Zhengyang Talisman and waited for it. I jumped out of the bed and put my hands on the bed at the same time as Lao Jiu. The wooden bed was covered with a thin layer of wood. He and Lao Jiu looked at each other, and carefully opened the...

We breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. There was a coffin inside the bed, so the breath was not completely let go. Lao Jiu had sharp eyes and said, "There are no nails on the coffin, and the coffin hasn't been closed yet. Open it and have a look."

This time it was Munro's turn to be cautious: "Wait."

Munro sprinkled cinnabar around the coffin, and said, "Take it off."

Lao Jiu and I lifted the coffin lid at the same time. Unexpectedly, the coffin lid was so light that one person could pick it up with one hand. The inside was—empty!
"Ge Laozi's, why is it empty?" Lao Jiu breathed a sigh of relief, and then said suspiciously: "What kind of plane is this guy doing, the coffin he prepared for himself?"

I took a closer look and shook my head: "Old Nine, you can see that the colors inside are different shades. The light-colored areas are obviously human shapes. The dead people should have been let go before. There is also a smell. You should smell it carefully."

Lao Jiu took a deep breath and said affirmatively: "Well, there is still a smell of death left, but the inside of the coffin is clean, which means that it has been treated with embalming, otherwise the color will not be so beautiful, Meng Luo, don't touch it!"

It turned out that Meng Luo was about to reach out to touch the coffin, but when Lao Jiu yelled at him, Meng Luo quickly withdrew his hand: "Okay, I won't touch it."

Lao Jiu said: "This guy acts viciously and has bad methods. I don't trust every place in this house. We'd better not touch it. Don't touch it. After Tao Ran and Huacheng have collected it, we should leave immediately."

"This guy likes to drink tea." I glanced around the room and saw a set of exquisite tea sets on the cabinet beside the bed. Judging from the glossiness of the tea sets, the usage rate was very high. Also, it was placed in the corner There is a bird cage, costumes, snuff, bird cage, tea set, imperial accent, getting closer and closer. When I was scanning the room, there was a "bang" outside, and the three of us walked out immediately. It turned out that Hwaseong knocked down a Porcelain basins, this kind of porcelain basins are now rare, replaced by plastic basins, Tao Ran scolded: "Be careful."

Hwaseong smiled awkwardly, and put the basin back to its original place, Lao Jiu called out, "Wait a minute."

Lao Jiu took the pot over and took a closer look: "Hey, take a look, there is a line of words printed on this pot. This is the name of the old arms factory."

"Look here again." Tao Ran said, "These are printed materials, all about the explosion at Wang Gong Factory."

"Ge Laozi, why does this guy pay attention to this incident?" Lao Jiu said: "Didn't this incident happen in the Ming Dynasty? How many years has it been? This guy is going to have another big explosion?"

I looked at these printed materials, and these materials are all the analysis results of netizens in the forum. Some are reliable and some are not.
The Wang Gong factory explosion, known in history as the Tianqi explosion or the Wang Gong factory disaster, occurred on May 1626, 5, on the sixth day of May in the sixth year of Tianqi in the Ming Dynasty, at 30:9 am on the second day of the Dragon Boat Festival, at the Wang Gong factory gunpowder in the southwest corner of BJ The bizarre explosion occurred in the area near the library, resulting in an explosion area with a radius of 750 meters and an area of ​​2.25 square kilometers, and more than 2 people were killed and injured.According to later estimates, the power of the explosion is about 1 to 2 tons of dynamite equivalent.

The sky was clear and cloudless when the explosion occurred.There was a muffled thunderous boom from the northeast, and the rumbling sound gradually moved to the southwest.Suddenly there was a loud noise, and dust filled the sky for more than ten miles around Wang Gong's factory, and then the sky dimmed, and it was shrouded in darkness after a while.People only felt that the earth shook violently, tens of thousands of houses collapsed, and many big trees were uprooted.The elephant house near Wang Gong's factory collapsed, and the elephants fled in panic.People were still in shock, Wang Gongchang roared again, the ground suddenly cracked, and two large pits more than ten feet deep appeared.I saw a cloud of smoke rising from the pit and rolling away in the northeast direction.On Shifuma Street, a huge stone lion weighing [-] jin was thrown out of Shuncheng Gate.In the Xi'an Gate area, iron slag the size of rice grains flew and splashed in the air. In the Chang'an Street area, human heads fell from the air from time to time, some with only eyebrows and noses left, especially outside Desheng Gate.In the territory of Miyun, more than [-] big trees unexpectedly flew over.What is even more incredible is that many of the dead and injured, regardless of men, women, or children, were naked.

Within the center of the explosion, the sedan chairs of officials Xue Fengxiang, Fang Zhuangli, and Wu Zhongwei walking on the street were smashed and many were injured. Dong Kewei, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, had his arms broken, and Yushi He Tingshu and Pan Yunyi were killed at home. "Old and young" fell into the ground, and the Xuanfu General Yang and his party, including men, horses and long squads, disappeared without a trace. The women's sedan chairs walking on Cheng'en Temple Street were all broken in the middle of the street afterward. And the bearers are gone.

Relevant records even say that even the emperor of the Ming Dynasty felt the shock in the palace. He was shocked and left under the escort of the guards. The guards were hit on the head by flying tiles, and their brains burst out to death. , dead dead, wounded wounded.

This incident happened in the late Ming Dynasty, and was considered by some astrologers to be a sign of the impending doom of the dynasty. All kinds of ominous rumors spread among the people, and the bombing of Wang Gongchang was also cast a layer of mystery.

Tao Ran quickly flipped through the documents in his hand: "Such a thick stack is all about the big news about Wang Gong's factory."

"What kind of medicine is this guy selling in the gourd?" Lao Jiu scratched his head: "Forget it, ignore it, have you finished collecting the evidence?"

"I'll take some more photos and leave this ghostly place." Hwaseong said, "It's really evil."

When Hwaseong went to take pictures, Tao Ran glanced at me with a dejected look on his face: "It's really unlucky to let him run away again."

"The monk can't run away from the temple." I said, "This guy has exposed a lot of information. The more we know, the closer we are to his identity."

I looked at the bag in Tao Ran's hand: "Do you have any identification documents?"

"No, this guy is very careful. I believe he doesn't go to large supermarkets to buy things. He only buys them in small shops. He chooses a place where he doesn't expose himself. He can't even find a receipt from the supermarket." Tao Ran said: " People living in this metropolis inevitably have intersections with several places, such as supermarkets, laundry shops, water stores, and gas stores, but this guy uses an induction cooker for cooking, and his clothes at home will definitely not be dry-cleaned, so these intersections are all exempted , it’s really neat.”

"He deliberately avoids dealing with people, but he has a habit of snuffing," I said, "this habit exposed him. Sister Xu's younger brother smelled him, and the snuff supplier also dealt with him. People who are obsessed with habits will be less likely to accommodate snuff brands. He has used Guarga’s snuff for a long time and will continue to use it in the future. I suggest continuing to keep an eye on snuff suppliers. Let’s extract from these clues to see if there are any No value available."

Tao Ran nodded: "Your suggestion is right."

"Tao Ran, hair was found in the coffin." Hua Cheng happily ran out, and put the hair into the bag: "Now we can go back for comparison."

Tao Ran was naturally overjoyed, and we breathed a sigh of relief: "Only found this?"

"Yeah, it's too clean." Tao Ran said, "By the way, those four evil corpses and imps should be hidden in the utility room."

Lao Jiu said: "I looked there. It's empty. It's more than enough to put four corpses. You kid, don't put these things here. This is their home."

Hwaseong shivered, eager to leave here: "Let's go quickly, I don't want to come to this ghost place again, I always feel that there is a gloomy feeling in the room."

We nodded, and hurriedly withdrew. As soon as we walked out of the room, Huacheng's cell phone rang, and he picked it up impatiently, with a dignified expression, and then said anxiously: "Team leader, don't worry, we'll be right over."

After hanging up the phone, Hwaseong looked at us and said, "The team leader has something to do, we have to go there immediately."
