029 The Disappearing Corpse

After Jiang Bing finished speaking, he grabbed the Taoist talisman on the table and stood up to walk outside. Seeing her being so nimble, I didn't have the nerve to waste time, so I got up and quickly chased after her.

When we went there, it was Jiang Bing who drove her car. Sitting in the car, I felt a little uneasy. I didn't know why Jiang Bing chose me, a person who only knew forensic science, to assist in the investigation.

Don't think anything wrong about me, I'm very pure...

Being with a cold person like Jiang Bing is destined to be silent, and I am the kind of person who can't sit still. Seeing that she had no intention of talking, I couldn't help but asked.

: "There are so many people in the criminal police team, why did you choose me to assist you in your investigation?"

Jiang Bing said don't ask if you shouldn't ask. I think what I said is correct. Since you asked me to help you, you have to give me some reason?

Jiang Bing drove the car intently and said without even looking at me: "I lack someone who knows forensics to help."

It's as if she didn't say it.

After saying something that didn't start or end, Jiang Bing fell completely silent and drove her car expressionlessly. I was also asking for trouble, so I didn't ask any more questions and started to think about where I wanted to go.

After the car left the police station, it drove towards the south of the city. I am very familiar with Xishan City. I don't think there is anything special about the south of the city. The most popular places there are selling things used by dead people. In addition, there are

A crematorium.

I don't know what Jiang Bing is doing here, but I can tell from her skill in driving that this is definitely not the first time Jiang Bing has come here.

What I can't figure out is that Jiang Bing is a commissioner of the provincial department and is also working in the provincial department. Why does she know this place so well?

Before I could figure out the reason, the car driven by Jiang Bing started to turn. This road was not easy to walk, and there were many turning places. I grabbed the handrail and looked at this place.

I have never been here before. There are bungalows everywhere. There are a few scattered shops, but none of them have signs.

Finally, Jiang Bing's car stopped at the door of a place selling supplies for the dead.

After Jiang Bing parked the car, she asked me to follow her out of the car and warned me not to talk inside.

I didn't know what Jiang Bing's purpose was for coming here, and I didn't ask any questions. I just nodded and followed her out of the car.

This store is quite remote, and it doesn't have a brand. It's quiet everywhere, which makes me feel a little cold.

Jiang Bing seemed relatively normal. After getting out of the car, he locked the car and walked into the store first. I followed Jiang Bing and looked around the store.

The store is not big, and there is only a small room used to sell things. There are all kinds of things that only dead people can use in the room.

Ghost paper, shroud, wreath...

I even saw a few iPhones and pistols made of paper on the counter. When I saw this, I couldn't help but laugh out loud.

I thought to myself, this underworld is developed enough. Mobile phones and everything can be used? By the way, Steve Jobs will probably develop Apple mobile phones down there.

My smile made Jiang Bing glare. Not only that, it also woke up the old man who was sitting on the recliner behind the counter.

When I saw Jiang Bing glaring at me, I knew I had lost my temper a little. So I shut my mouth and silently observed the old man lying on the recliner at the counter.

This old man was very strange. It was already the weather in May, and there were many people wearing short-sleeved clothes outside, but he was still wearing a thick black long-sleeved clothes, and he didn't feel too hot.

Not only that, I found that the old man's appearance was a bit scary. His face was extremely old, as pale as paper, and his face was densely wrinkled, with not much flesh. It looked like there was only one bone on the outside.

Just like a piece of human skin.

The old man looked up when he heard the voice. He probably knew Jiang Bing, otherwise he wouldn't have looked at it and said directly: "Is something wrong?"

But from the outside, this old man looks a bit strange, and his voice is even weirder.

For such an old man, his voice sounded like that of a young man in his twenties, vigorous and powerful.

Jiang Bing was not polite at all. He sat directly on the chair next to the counter, then took out the talisman in a sealed bag from his pocket and said, "There is something wrong."

The old man raised his eyelids and glanced at Jiang Bing, and then his eyes were attracted by the talisman in Jiang Bing's hand.

Jiang Bing didn't say much and handed the talisman directly to the old man.

The old man reached out to take it, opened the sealed bag, took it out and placed it on his palm.

When he stretched out his hand, I could see something else. From the complexion of his face, I could see that this man was thin and old, but his hands were very white, without any wrinkles.

I frowned and thought to myself, why are there such weird people?

I always feel that the old man's face, hands and voice don't seem to be represented by the same person.

While I was stunned, the old man suddenly had a talisman in his hand.

The moment I saw the talisman, I was a little panicked. The talisman in the old man's hand was as new as new. The strange thing was not this, but that the talisman in the old man's hand was different from the bodies of several dead people.

The talismans found are exactly the same!

In other words, those talismans and the extra talismans in the old man's hand are all the same!

I could see it and I think Jiang Bing could also see it. I paid attention to Jiang Bing's expression. But I found that Jiang Bing's face was still expressionless and cold. It was as if all this was natural.

I thought this matter was a bit revealing, so I watched it quietly without making a sound.

In the end, the new Taoist talisman in the old man's hand was caught between his two fingers. I didn't see any movement on his part. I only heard him mutter a few words slightly, and then...

Immediately afterwards, the talisman held between his fingers spontaneously ignited!

I was completely stunned and had no idea what was happening.

I'm sure I'm not dazzled, and I'm sure the old man didn't take anything else. But why did the talisman burn on its own?

The old man didn't give me time to think, but held the burning talisman between his arms and moved toward the talisman Jiang Bing and we had brought.

Looking at this posture, I understood that the old man wanted to burn the talisman Jiang Bing brought!

This talisman is an evidence, and it must not be burned! Without hesitation or thinking, I opened my mouth and shouted: "It cannot be burned!"

The old man's hand holding the talisman paused for a moment, and he glanced at me out of the corner of his eye. I thought he would stop, but who knew that he didn't make any move. After glancing at me, he continued to use the burning talisman.

Go and burn the talisman Jiang Bing brought.

Just when I thought this talisman was destined to be burned, a shocking scene happened.

The talisman Jiang Bing and we brought was not ignited by the burning talisman and was still intact.

I breathed a sigh of relief, but then I felt something strange. Although there was some water stains on the talisman, there was no way it would not move at all if it was burned with fire.

However, the talisman Jiang Bing and we brought did not move at all, as if the fire could not do anything to the talisman.

Seeing that it was not burned, the old man raised his hand, and the burning talisman held by his fingertips suddenly went out. Then he put the talisman brought by Jiang Bing and us next to Jiang Bing and whispered.

:"Fake."

"Don't the people holding the talisman understand anything?" Jiang Bing frowned, then put the talisman back and asked a little confused.

The old man picked up the teacup on the side and took a sip and said: "You know what you're doing, there's only one stroke missing."

Jiang Bing lowered his head and put the talisman into a sealed bag. He nodded as if he understood something and said, "Thank you."

The old man didn't say anything. After drinking tea, he lay back on the rocking chair.

Jiang Bing winked at me, meaning it was time to leave.

I was a little confused. I didn't understand what Jiang Bing and the old man said at all. They were all in a fog.

But it seemed like nothing was going on at the moment, so I listened to Jiang Bing's words and didn't ask any questions that I shouldn't have. I walked out of the store the same way I came.

Jiang Bing got into the car without saying a word, and then drove the car back the same way.

After a long silence in the car, I couldn't help but ask: "Where are we going now?"

Jiang Bing had some hesitation in his eyes as he drove the car. He pursed his lips and said, "You were present in the 5.7 Corpse Dismemberment Case. Please tell me the details of the case. See if you can find any clues."

I felt a little surprised when I heard this. In my eyes, this mysterious female commissioner was only interested in 'weird' things. Why did she ask about the process of the case this time?

Although I was a little confused, I still told what I knew.

The story of the case is actually not complicated.

At first, the host died in his own home for no reason, and the body was cut into pieces. After the body was cut into pieces, jagged wounds were found, and it was suspected that someone had bitten him.

This case can be classified as a locked room homicide, but under normal circumstances, the murderer of a locked room murder will leave clues no matter how he hides it.

However, the murderer in the host's case did not leave any clues that would be helpful to the police. It can be said that the murderer disappeared out of thin air after committing the crime.

Next is the case of the dismembered body of the singer He Lin. The death of the singer and the host were the same. It can be said that the murderer was the same person. It was also a secret room murder case.

There are still the same questions. How did the murderer escape from the scene after committing the crime?

Although I am the forensic scientist in charge of this case, I also know a little about the facts of the case. The evaluators from the technical department did not find any footprints at the death scene.

Moreover, the host's family lives on the third floor, and the singer's family lives on the fourth floor. Although the height of the floors is not high, it is still a bit difficult for the murderer to escape.

In this way, there are no clues to investigate at all. We can only place our hope on the social relationship between the singer and the host. However, after investigation, it was found that the singer and the host were somehow related to the corpse dismemberment case two years ago...

The murderer's motive for the murder was completely unknown, and there were no useful clues at the scene.

This case is like an unsolved case, making people unable to figure it out.

When I described the case to Jiang Bing in detail, I also conducted a thorough analysis of the two cases in my mind, but to no avail.

Jiang Bing was still driving attentively, but her fingers were tapping the steering wheel irregularly and her brows were furrowed, as if she was thinking about something.

Finally, Jiang Bing thought for a while and said: "In that case, the murderer of the two corpse dismemberment cases can be concluded to be the same person. But no clues were found at the scene, right?"

I nodded and said I think so.

"Then it seems that now we can only start the investigation from the unknown man's body."

Just as Jiang Bing finished speaking, my cell phone in my pocket rang.

I smiled at Jiang Bing, then took out my phone and took a look and found that the caller was Liuzi.

I thought Liu Zi had encountered something difficult during the autopsy, so I pressed the answer button directly.

As soon as the call was connected, Liuzi's anxious and frightened voices came from the phone.
