Because the shop had two floors and a courtyard in the back, it could be used not only as a place to live but also as a storefront, and the family of four ran a pretty good business.
However, a tragedy occurred in that pickling shop one night two years ago.
A family of four, three of whom died.
Blood stained the entire shop; their blood was everywhere, and their corpses were scattered in pieces.
The murderer was extremely cruel. Not content with killing the victim, he also dismembered the victim's limbs and scattered them everywhere.
The murderer fled after killing the person.
We have been investigating this matter, but we still haven't found anything.
"Master, you said they were a family of four, so why did three of them die? And who was the other one?"
"It was a child, a boy, not very old, only eight or nine years old! After that incident, the child disappeared, and no matter how hard we searched, we couldn't find any trace of him!"
Luo Yunhe: "...Then, have you checked who that couple is? Where did they come from?"
"We investigated, but found no leads!"
Luo Yunhe: "...Isn't this just a headless case?"
"Yes, ever since that incident, no one has rented that shop anymore."
There are still traces of blood inside!
[Ding! Host has solved this case. Reward: 1000 points and a permanent skill!]
Just as Luo Yunhe was wondering, the long-dormant, inactive system in his mind suddenly spoke.
The sound startled Luo Yunhe.
She was surprised that the system had given her so few opportunities to be assigned tasks, and now the system had inexplicably assigned her another task.
1000 points isn't a lot for him, but a permanent skill is definitely tempting.
Luo Yunhe consulted the clerk again about any clues in the murder case, but all she got was that there were no clues at all.
This puzzled Luo Yunhe.
"Master, are you still investigating this case?"
"We haven't been able to find the murderer, and this case has been shelved for a long time. Are you interested, Miss Luo?"
Luo Yunhe smiled and said, "Master, I don't believe that a person is born without leaving any trace. It must have been erased by someone."
And as you said, they suddenly moved to the town, and that shop was a cosmetics shop that they bought at a high price, and business was pretty good.
Furthermore, what about the child? Hasn't the child been found yet? It's impossible that no one has seen him. The child is the most crucial element; either he saw the murderer, or he hid himself, or he died somewhere unknown, and you haven't found him…”
The advisor nodded at him, somewhat surprised by Luo Yunhe's thought process: "You're right. We don't believe their origins, so we posted a lot of information and sent it out, but we still haven't received any news."
That child really seemed to have vanished into thin air.
Nobody knows where he is!
"Master, has the crime scene been disturbed? Why don't you take me to see it? Maybe I can help you solve this problem?"
The advisor said, "...Girl, two years have passed, how can we investigate now? Even if we find out, what can we do?"
"Master, to be honest, I want that shop, but you said those people's clothes were so miserable back then. Even if I buy it, I'm afraid the business won't be very good. Only by solving this case and catching the murderer can that shop be cleared of all charges."
Only then can I do business in peace.
As you know, I participated in the selection of tribute wine. We need a shop like that here!
After circling around twice, the advisor nodded: "Alright, since you're willing to help, then go and take a look. I'll also send a few people over for you. If you don't understand anything, you can consult them; they were the ones who were with you back then!"
Luo Yunhe nodded.
The clerk immediately dispatched two constables to Luo Yunhe, who were carrying the case files from that time. They went to the shop on the far east side of the town.
Because of the heavy snow, there weren't many people on the streets. When they arrived at the shop and opened the door, Luo Yunhe frowned deeply upon seeing the scene inside.
The shop was in complete disarray, with even the old cabinets overturned and some still lying on the floor, though they all seemed to be stained with blood.
There was a gloomy feeling when I entered.
Seeing that Luo Yunhe showed no signs of discomfort, the two constables exchanged glances and began to explain the situation at the time to him.
“Miss Luo, there are corpses over there, here, and over there…”
"And here..."
After the two constables explained the situation, Luo Yunhe roughly outlined the scene in her mind.
Moreover, they described the bodies as being cut out with blunt instruments and thrown everywhere.
Blood was smeared all over the walls and pillars of the shop, and the entire shop was in a mess, even their living quarters in the backyard were a mess.
Although she wasn't there in person, Luo Yunhe could piece together the situation in her mind.
"We've seen the scene; although it's not quite as accurate as before, it's roughly the same..."
"Let's go, let's go take a look at the back..."
As she walked along the deserted road, Luo Yunhe's brows were tightly furrowed, and she couldn't help but stop after taking a few steps.
The two were puzzled as to why she had suddenly stopped, and were both a little curious, but Luo Yunhe didn't say anything more and continued forward.
They stopped three times, going back and forth like this.
Finally, we arrived at the backyard.
There are three side rooms, a kitchen, and a small courtyard in the backyard. Passing through that door leads to the shop in front.
It's at least the size of six rooms, all in total.
Upon entering, Luo Yunhe first glanced at the floor and windows before finally fixing her gaze on the bed.
"Was this place chaotic back then?"
"Yes! Look, there are still bloodstains here..."
"Not only there, but I have it here too, and everything here is all crooked and overturned..."
Luo Yunhe nodded. His gaze was very sharp, not missing any traces not only in the big areas but also in the smallest details.
Upon noticing the difference, Luo Yunhe immediately found a stick and circled the area around it.
The two constables were somewhat puzzled when they saw the area she had fenced off.
"Miss Luo, this is..."
"The case happened two years ago. Logically speaking, no one should have come to this shop in those two years. But don't you find it strange that there is a fresh footprint here?"
