Chapter 295 Blood Puppet (Part 2) -
“Gu Yu?”
Ding Heran frowned. He was greatly shocked after experiencing Song Weichen’s autopsy skills last time. Yu did ask her for some "case handling experience."
I especially remember that Song Weichen mentioned two very obscure professional terms called "criminal psychology" and "criminal investigation". What did she say?
Ding Heran slapped his thigh,
"I remember Brother Wei said that there is a theory of 'criminal participation' in criminal psychology, which means that criminals often show over-participation behavior, such as proactively reporting crimes or over-cooperating with investigations, in order to reduce the suspicion of the police, especially in The probability is higher in intimate relationship crimes and cold-blooded murders."
Ding Heran tried hard to recall and repeat Song Weichen's "sincere teachings."
"Brother Wei mentioned that they have an agency called 'Fobele' (FBI), similar to Jinyiwei or Six Doors."
"She said that Fobele's investigation and research found that in In acquaintance crimes, the reporter is more likely to be a suspect, so Fobele will regard the reporter as an important suspect in the initial investigation. This is called... Oh! This is called the principle of priority in acquaintance investigation."
< br>"According to Brother Wei's theory, Gu Yu is indeed very suspicious. Although she is not a relative of Du Juan, in the entire Si Chen Mansion, only Gu Yu is close to her."
...
Hearing Ding Heran mention Song Weichen so frequently, Mo Tingfeng felt aching in his heart. He wished he could sort out the case as soon as possible, and then rushed to Sikong Mansion to find Song Weichen and apologize to her. By showing his feelings, everything can be explained clearly. He and Qin Xueying couldn't even be called a misunderstanding. He only had her in his heart from beginning to end, and there was no way he could pretend to be someone else.
"Sir, do you want to interrogate Guyu?"
Ding Heran asked tentatively. The case was confusing and complicated, and he did not want to miss any possibility.
“No need.”
"It's definitely not Guyu."
Mo Tingfeng forced himself to pull back his thoughts. Now is indeed not the time for children to love each other. Even if he thinks about Song Weichen again, he has to deal with the matter at hand clearly——
Du Juan is obviously related to the Necromancer and the Death Curse Technique. The Heart-Enchanting Qin in Qin Xueying’s hand is also related to the Master of the Corpse Forest and the Death Curse Technique. The involvement behind this is getting deeper and deeper, whether it is for Song Weichen or for the world. Taiping, he must find out the real culprit as soon as possible.
"There must be someone else who dripped the blood of the necromancer into the medicine bowl, and there must be another method."
Mo Tingfeng concluded calmly.
"What Weiwei said is reasonable, but you forgot one thing: the motive."
"Gu Yu has no motive to help Du Juan become a blood puppet. Taking a step back, even assuming that she was forced to do it, time It’s not right.”
“She went to the hospital three times in total, and the blood curse must be at thirty-six. Within an hour, he fed the blood Gu every four hours, so Guyu had no time to commit the crime."
.
Mo Tingfeng suddenly turned over and lay down on the bed where Du Juan had slept in the hospital. On the bed, she leaned on her arms and observed the entire ward from her perspective, and then asked Ding Heran to call back the medicine boy again.
"Let me ask you for the last time, can you guarantee that Du Juan will always stay in this room and never go to other places while he is in the hospital?"
"Excuse me, Sir Si Chen, I swear to God, she I stayed in the hospital for the past two days, lying in bed all day long, not going anywhere, and not even eating a grain of rice except drinking medicine, until she left today."
The boy was talking and gesticulating, every day. Every day he puts the medicine bowl in the same position on the bedside, and puts the prepared meals in a food drawer that can be kept warm, on a low table that she can easily access, but she never eats it.
......
Seeing the waiter chattering away, Ye Wujiu didn't have the patience of Mo Tingfeng, so he interrupted with a cold face.
"To get to the point, has Du Juan done anything weird in the past few days that made you feel weird?"
The young man just started to speak enthusiastically, and his whole body became tense, and he was choked back by Ye Wujiu's words, He held his back and murmured for a long time before holding back a sentence, "Little... I remembered something, but it can't be said to be very weird."
"Originally, the medicine was given twice a day in the morning and evening, but Dujuan insisted that I give it to her every four hours. She said that the elders in her family said that the best effect is to take the medicine every four hours. "
"For this reason, I was specially promised one. A hairpin. When I thought about it, it was just an extra dose of medicine, so I took it."
Ye Wujiu sneered, "Is this worth saying?"
< br>
After hearing this, the boy who made the medicine put on a wry smile in embarrassment and fear. He raised the edge of his dirty sleeve and wiped his forehead,
"Yes, yes, it is indeed a trivial matter. Only a villain can I have explained everything that comes to mind. I beg you for your enlightenment. I really can’t think of Aunt Dujuan. "What's so weird about my mother?"
The boy wanted to know what happened to Dujuan and what she had done, so that three adults could gather here and question her every move over the past two days. But he didn't dare, so he could only hold back his doubts, shrinking his head and staring at the floor.
Unexpectedly, Mo Tingfeng smiled slightly after hearing this. The boy didn't lie. He probably knew how Du Juan and his accomplices operated.
There is only one doubtful point. Based on the number of days Du Juan stayed at the hospital, she obviously did not drink enough medicine nine times in a row. So how did she become a blood puppet?
...
"You can go out. Today's matter will not be held accountable, but you must take the initiative to go to the house manager to record your demerits and hand over the money. If you do it again in the future, you will be expelled from Si Chen's house."
" Yes, yes! Thank you, Lord Sichen, for your forgiveness!”
The little man who made the medicine withdrew with gratitude and disappeared without a trace.
After he left, Mo Tingfeng tilted his chin towards the roof.
"Look at that."
Ding Heran and Ye Wujiu followed Mo Tingfeng's gaze. At first glance, the roof seemed ordinary and nothing unusual, but upon closer inspection, they discovered that there was something unusual about a blue tile.
The sun was about to set, and the west-facing paper windows of the ward were covered with the afterglow of the setting sun. Because the roof was covered with blue tiles, there was no orange halo visible at first, but one piece was different. Upon closer inspection, , a few rays of orange light showed through the edge of the green tiles - it had obviously been tampered with.
"I'll go up and have a look."
Ding Heran said and disappeared. The next second, there was a soft sound on the roof, and the green tiles had been uncovered.
"Sir, this green tile is not glued with glutinous rice mortar. It is just lightly covered on the roof. Someone clearly did it deliberately."
"Yes."
Mo Tingfeng responded. , obviously not surprised by this result.
The movable blue tile vertically downwards is where the medicine bowls are usually placed in the Dujuan ward.
The boy didn't lie. In fact, no one except Gu Yu came in these days, because the people who came didn't enter the house at all. Every four hours, this person took advantage of the boy's opportunity to administer the medicine, uncovered the green tiles, put the blood poison from the roof into the medicine and let the cuckoo drink it.
After thinking about this clearly, Mo Tingfeng stood up and stared at the medicine bowl thoughtfully.
“The blood curse technique does not require medicine. Why does Du Juan have to ask the servant to deliver medicine to her every four hours, and then take the blood poison and the medicine together? Why does it have to be so troublesome? ”
.
While Mo Tingfeng was thinking, Ding Heran’s voice came from the roof,
“Sir, footprints were found”
In a flash, Mo Tingfeng reached the roof, and Ye Wujiu followed closely behind.
At this time, Ding Heran was not directly above the ward, but at the edge of the roof of the medical center. He pointed to the faint muddy half of the forefoot footprint on the eaves - it was obvious from the toe of his shoe. He jumped up from there and headed towards the moving green tile.
"I searched all over the roof, only this one. There are still a few mud marks on the rest, but they have obviously been wiped by others, and no traces of details can be seen. I think this place is dense and sparse."
Mo Tingfeng looked at the half of the red mud shoe print, and his face darkened - this person must have been to the forest banquet today!
Due to the heavy rain in the morning, the red mud in the forest at the back of the mountain was not yet dry. Except for the few guests of honor, the roads they walked were paved with cherry blossoms so that their shoes would not be stained with dust. The soles of the shoes of the others would be stained with mud.
Moreover, the soil in the back mountain of Sichen Mansion is special and rich in mineral deposits, so it is red. It is obviously different from the yellow mud in the four fields. Therefore, the footprints stained with red mud can at least prove one thing - this person has been to the forest after the rain, and has never been there. After the banquet left, he could enter Si Chen's Mansion in a grand manner and arrived on the eaves of the medical hall.
......
"There is a ghost in the house."
The expression of Mo Tingfeng who said this was very light, and there were not many emotional fluctuations.
In fact, he had already had this idea when he saw the moving green tile.
Only people from Sichen's Mansion can frequent the area around the medical center without triggering the security barrier and attracting no attention. Only people from Sichen's Mansion can come and go freely at the banquet where the eldest princess is present without arousing suspicion.
"He Ran, take out the shoe prints and compare them in a low-key manner in the house. You must do it yourself and don't let anyone else interfere."
"Wujiu, put Hong on Let's go trace the source and see if we can find more information. In addition, there are people from the mansion who were present at the banquet in the forest today. Please give me a list."
"Yes. ! "
......
If there is an internal response in the government, all this makes sense.
But when did it start?
Did it come from the ghost king's mask appearing in the world, or from the ghost husband causing trouble in Pingyang?
Did Nian Niang cause harm to the people because of the chaos, or did she disappear from Baipao or even earlier?
Mo Tingfeng looked calm, but his whole body exuded a chilling air. He walked silently on the eaves, carefully observing the remaining mud marks that had been deliberately dusted - obviously swept by the wind of his palm. The traces of this person's internal strength can be seen, and he is by no means an ordinary servant.
Therefore, there is a high probability that the inner ghost comes from the Grudge Breaker.
Mo Tingfeng's face became a little colder. He walked to the moving green tile and knelt down on one knee. He used a technique on his palm to examine it carefully. The inner ghost came here repeatedly, and it must be with Du Juan. Blood Gu related.
No matter who this person is, he must have something to do with the Death Curse, the Ghost King Mask, the Necromancer, and the people behind it!
Suddenly! Mo Tingfeng sensed a very weak trace of the necromancer's unique puppet energy in the cracks of the green tiles.
His slender fingers hooked in the air, and a translucent thin line about two inches long and as thick as hair floated out from the gap in the corrugations.
"This... belongs to the necromancer?"
Ding Heran had already followed, and was both curious and annoyed when he saw this. His inspection just now was obviously not careful enough, and he did not find this foreign object.
Mo Tingfeng took out an evidence bag with the word "dust" printed on it from his sleeve pocket and carefully put the filament into it.
“This is a piece of string wire. If my judgment is correct, this object must have the same origin as the strings of the Heart-Enchanting Qin, both coming from the Wilderness of Os. The original object should be longer, This part was probably done accidentally during the process of winding up the strings. It got stuck and broke.”
“The inner ghost comes here every four hours, uncovers the green tiles, hangs a string, and then drops the necromancer’s blood poison on it. It slipped into the bowl ”
Mo Tingfeng remembered that Qin Xueying said that there are pros and cons to the strings of Ouszhiye. The sine string amplifies the original effect, and the reverse string suppresses the negative effects.
This finally solved his confusion.
The blood curse requires nine times to take effect. However, according to the description of the medicine boy, Du Juan only took the medicine seven times before leaving the hospital. Logically speaking, she could never mutate, but It was obviously a fait accompli that Du Juan had become the blood puppet of the Necromancer. It was only then that Mo Tingfeng suddenly realized that the string wire was used as a lead for dripping blood in the same direction, which can amplify and accelerate the effect of the blood poison, so it can be achieved without nine times. .
If you think about it, it might be the same reason if you have to drop blood into the potion and take it together.
Du Juan was sent to the hospital because of febrile convulsions, so her medicine must contain bezoar, which is very active in promoting blood circulation. Coupled with the help of Ouszhiye's string, it will naturally get twice the result with half the effort.
…Some things are already coming to light.
It seems that even if there is no Du Juan, there will be other blood puppets.
Even if the eldest princess does not come to Sichen's house, Huo Xinqin will appear in the house in other ways.
All this was clearly planned for a long time and done deliberately.
With a stern look on his face, Mo Tingfeng handed the evidence bag containing the string silk to Ye Wujiu,
"Take it together to trace the source."
"Yes!"
"Old Ye, investigate carefully!" Ding Heran was furious.
“I want to see which grandson is eating Sichen’s house and digging Sichen’s grave!”
