Chapter 4 I am not an ordinary Taoist priest~
Seven o'clock is the peak time for getting off work, and it is also the time when the flow of people is the strongest.
Assuming this was the victim's watch, it was exactly seven o'clock, why was he coming to this alley alone?
This place is not close to the city center, and there is no eaves to shelter from the rain. There are not many places for people to move around outside.
To sum up, it is a three-no place with no fun value.
Shen Qingze's delicate brows were knitted tightly.
“Give this to me.”
Before his outstretched hand touched the bag, Liu Mincheng suddenly screamed.
"That won't work! The evidence we collect must be handed over to the captain!"
That is indeed true. He is in no position to investigate the case simultaneously with the police.
I still have to go to the Municipal Bureau this afternoon to meet with him to get more information.
"Sorry, I won't bother you anymore."
"Go ahead, we have a lot of work to do."
Liu Mincheng grabbed the bag and walked in without saying anything.
Your attitude changes so quickly. Young man, your personality is very changeable.
There was an evil aura around Liu Mincheng that Shen Qingze could not see through, floating around him.
The evil spirit had obviously overflowed when Liu Mincheng was startled, but it suddenly retracted as if it realized something.
This time, it was hidden perfectly.
Shen Qing took advantage of the other party's inattention and quietly pasted a small piece of talisman paper on him.
Let me see what secrets you have.
－－－－
There was no chance to investigate at the scene again. He used the X-ray tool to take a preliminary look at the traces found by the police. It seemed that only the watch was the most useful.
It was almost time for the appointment, and he sat in the reception hall of the Municipal Bureau waiting, bored.
The talisman paper connected to Liu Mincheng in his pocket did not move. He could only pinch it left and right, rubbing the talisman paper hard.
"Mr. Shen, I've been waiting for a long time."
As soon as he finished speaking, the forensic doctor and Captain Fang came hurriedly.
"Not long ago, I just arrived too"
Captain Fang stepped forward and shook hands with Shen Qingze.
"This commission is entirely under the jurisdiction of the Municipal Bureau. I hope you will take it seriously and not publicize it."
The tone sounded more like a warning than a negotiation.
“Of course, I have a strong professional ethics.”
After the three of them exchanged glances, the forensic doctor led the way through the corridors and finally stopped in front of a laboratory.
"This is our experimental room, where we perform autopsies and data analysis."
Captain Fang extended his hand and led Shen Qingze to the next room.
"The rules prevent you from entering. You can talk to them in the observation room."
The observation room is connected to the experimental room, and its layout is like a command room. There are many experimenters here talking with the staff inside at the command desk and hurriedly writing down experimental reports.
Shen Qing stood in front of the huge glass window and looked at all this in surprise.
Here you can see the scene in the test room clearly.
Including the one who died tragically on the experimental table.
The forensic doctor's voice came into the observation room through the transmitter.
"Mr. Shen, please take a look. This body has no fatal cuts or wounds. The face is peaceful and there are no signs of struggle."
"Um"
Shen Qing asked casually,
"Lift up his face so I can see it"
The forensic doctor lifted the thin white cloth and saw the head, which had shrunk to the size of a bowling ball and was distorted beyond recognition.
This man died in such a state that even his own mother wouldn’t be able to recognize him.
Shen Qing smacked his lips twice, took out a talisman from his bag, his eyes wide open and bright, staring straight ahead, his eyes revealing determination and resoluteness.
His brows were furrowed, as if he was concentrating all his energy to sense the abnormality around him. He was muttering something in a low and powerful voice, and every syllable was filled with unquestionable majesty.
"Show yourself quickly!"
His clothes fluttered without wind, and the talisman paper instantly floated up as if it was infused with life, floating in the air as if looking for a direction, but it couldn't find a place to land for a long time.
"That's strange, why can't I find it?"
Shen Qingze's delicate eyebrows tightened even more, and he fell into puzzled thoughts.
Captain Fang and the surrounding police officers were afraid to breathe, and looked at Shen Qingze's actions in shock and confusion.
Seeing that Shen Qingze had no next plan for a long time, Captain Fang hesitated for a moment and asked softly:
"What's wrong sir? Is there a problem?"
Shen Qingze's eyes did not leave the talisman paper still floating in the air, and he said in a clear but pressured voice:
"This is a big problem. We can't even find his soul."
Logically speaking, people who die after having their essence sucked away will not be able to walk normally into the road to hell and enter the gates of hell because their souls are uneven. They will only turn into unconscious wandering ghosts, and either wait for their souls to be scattered, or wait to be found by the underground errands and taken to hell.
In such a short time, if the soul is still there, it is impossible that the soul-summoning talisman cannot summon the soul.
Besides, the underworld is short of manpower recently, so it is unlikely that a ghost messenger will come to search for souls so soon.
Shen Qing took out a handful of powder from his bag and sprinkled it gently on the talisman paper in the air.
This time, the talisman moved twice, and with a whoosh, it flew straight into the laboratory through the air conditioning duct as if it had a navigation system, and stopped beside the corpse.
Qin, the forensic doctor standing beside the corpse, stared at the talisman paper.
He looked nervous, as if he was looking at something amazing, his eyes were full of inquiry.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the talisman paper ignited on its own.
There was no further action until everything was burned out and the ashes were scattered on the ground.
Even if Captain Fang no longer believed in gods, Buddhas, ghosts, or spirits, he had to believe what he saw, and asked hurriedly:
"Mr. Shen, what does this talisman paper mean?"
Shen Qing wiped off the remaining powder on his hands and smiled contemptuously.
"The murderer is very capable. Not only did he suck all his energy and blood, he was also able to restrain his soul. I can't lead it, and I can't directly ask about the origin of his soul. He's hiding really well."
Shen Qing originally planned to summon the soul of the deceased in public and use the guided bone powder to make the other party tell them the truth and the murderer directly.
Now it seems that the plan is not feasible.
The talisman paper burned beside the corpse, indicating that his soul was still in the world of the living.
There is only one possibility for not being able to recruit him, and that is that he cannot come.
The murderer must be an experienced person who knows about the technique of summoning souls, so he could trap the souls in advance and eliminate all traces.
Unfortunately, Shen Qingze is not an ordinary Taoist priest. It is difficult to play tricks on him.
Next life~
Shen Qing told them to preserve the body first to prevent it from decaying too quickly at room temperature, and that no one should touch it before the case was closed.
After thinking for a moment, he whispered in Captain Fang's ear in a voice that only the two of them could hear:
"It's best if no one touches it, including those within the public security department."
Captain Fang nodded.
"So, what do you think next, sir?"
Shen Qing scratched his brows and said in a brisk tone:
"Let's go to the scene. I need to explore some details."
Forensic Doctor Qin looked at Shen Qingze's departing back through the glass, his eyes deep.
