Chapter 016: Dragon and Tiger Intersection
The crying soon attracted the neighbors nearby.
"What's going on? Whose child is crying?"
"Ouch, what's that smell?"
…
Soon, several neighbors came into the room. When they saw Zhao Wenjun's body, they were so scared that they screamed and backed away.
"Someone's dead, someone's dead, call the police!" Everyone crawled out to escape.
Xu Lai ignored them and patted Zhao Xiaomin's back. The little girl cried until she was hoarse, but she refused to stop.
Not long after, the police car arrived and the room was quickly cordoned off.
"Who are you?" A police officer stared at Xu Lai and the other man with a frown, and walked forward with the forensic doctor to examine Zhao Wenjun's body.
At this moment, someone outside the door said coldly: "No one is allowed to touch anything here!"
As the words fell, a young man with a stern face came in. He was wearing a white shirt and trousers. In such a cold weather, he still had a blue suit jacket draped over his shoulders, which made him look quite different.
There were two people, one old and one young, who came in with him and followed him on both sides.
"I'm talking to you, why are you moving?" he shouted at the forensic doctor who was about to examine Zhao Wenjun's body.
The forensic doctor was a man in his fifties, slightly fat, wearing a pair of glasses, looking at the person in astonishment. He had been doing this job for decades, but this was the first time he had encountered such a situation, and he was asked not to touch the body!
If the forensic doctor doesn't do it, who else will?
"Who are you? What are you doing here?" The police officer who was originally going to question Xu Lai immediately stepped forward to stop the man.
The young man to the left of the young man in the suit stepped forward, took out an ID and handed it over, smiling and saying, "We are from Section 9, and this is our Section Chief Huang Shaotang."
"What Ninth Section? Get out of here and don't interfere with our work!" The police officer waved his hand and was about to drive them out.
"You talk too much bullshit! Get all your people out of here!" The man called Huang Shaotang ignored him, glanced around the room, and wanted to kick all the policemen out.
"What do you want to do!" the police officer shouted, and other colleagues rushed in immediately.
At this time, a police officer ran in breathlessly, stopped the man and shouted, "It's a misunderstanding, we are all family!"
"Chief Huang, don't be angry. The ninth department has just been established and many brothers don't know about it yet." The man hurriedly smiled apologetically at Huang Shaotang.
"Okay, all of you go out." Huang Shaotang said coldly, and ignored him. He went to check Zhao Wenjun's body. Seeing that the forensic doctor was still standing there, he frowned and asked, "Didn't you hear me?"
The forensic doctor was startled and hurriedly retreated with a group of police officers.
"Who is this person? So arrogant! What is the Ninth Section? What on earth is that? I've never heard of it." Someone asked in a low voice.
"I only know a rough idea about it. It seems that it was established just a few years ago. Brother Fang, do you think I am right?" someone said.
"Yes, it seems to be experimental. Currently, there are only six places with it, and our Jiangning City happens to be one of them." Brother Fang said.
"So what exactly does this ninth section do?"
"I'm not sure about that. Maybe it's some special department." After all the talk, no one knew the answer.
The group of police officers outside were whispering, but the room was not quiet because Zhao Xiaomin was still crying.
But after crying for so long, the little girl's voice has become a little hoarse.
"Who are you?" Huang Shaotang walked up to Xu Lai with his hands behind his back.
"The person on the ground is the little girl's sister. We were the ones who found her." Xu Lai said while patting Zhao Xiaomin's back gently.
Huang Shaotang stared at him and asked, "Is the body like this when you came in?"
Xu said no, she was naked originally and he put clothes on her.
"Who told you to mess with the corpse? Don't you have this common sense?" Huang Shaotang shouted.
Xu Lai hushed and said, "Keep your voice down. Don't scare the child. I've already checked the body. I'll tell you what you want to know."
Huang Shaotang was so angry that he almost laughed. When would it be his turn to tell the results of the autopsy?
If he didn't have something to ask this man, he would have thrown him out long ago.
He suppressed his anger and said in a cold voice: "Zhao Wenjun has been missing for many days and no one can find him. How did you find this place?"
"I'll send the child home first and then come back to talk to you." Xu Lai didn't want to talk more about her sister in front of Zhao Xiaomin.
Huang Shaotang glanced at the two of them and said, "No one can leave until the matter is clarified! What did Zhao Wenjun's body look like when you came in?"
Xu Lai patted Zhao Xiaomin on the back and ignored him.
Huang Shaotang narrowed his eyes and was about to lose his temper when the young man who came with him came over and asked him to go see something. He then snorted coldly and followed him.
Zhao Xiaomin cried for a long time. She was so emotional that her crying finally stopped and she fell into a deep sleep.
Xu Lai took out his cell phone and called Chen Duo, told her the address here, and asked her to come over to help.
Shortly after hanging up the phone, a few more people came in. They were in plain clothes and seemed to be from the Ninth Section. They put Zhao Wenjun away in a body bag.
Xu Lai picked up the sleeping Zhao Xiaomin, walked around the room, and then strolled into the living room.
"What are you doing? Go back and stay here!" Huang Shaotang was talking to his men in the living room. When he saw him come out, he frowned and shouted.
"Who owns this house?" Xu Lai asked.
"Is this what you should ask?" Huang Shaotang interrupted coldly.
Xu Lai didn't say anything, turned around and walked to another room.
"I told you not to walk around, but you didn't understand!" Huang Shaotang's angry voice came from behind.
Xu Lai really pretended not to hear it. He took a few leisurely steps and went straight into another room.
Huang Shaotang was so angry that he took a few quick steps and rushed into the room. He saw that guy still looking around and wanted to catch him right away.
Just as he was about to make a move, he heard the man say, "Zhao Wenjun's is a picture of a dragon and a tiger intersecting. The cause of his death was that someone tattooed a heart-eating talisman on his body using the Yin tattooing technique."
Huang Shaotang was startled.
The so-called dragon-tiger intersection diagram is one of the thirteen diagrams of the art of sex. The reason why Huang Shaotang rushed here directly was that he thought this matter was related to the murder in Zijin Garden that day.
Others might not be able to tell that the three girls died in Zijin Garden that day, but he only took a glance and knew that the postures of their death corresponded to the three pictures in the Thirteen Illustrations of the Art of Sex.
He was originally still upset because the scene of Zhao Wenjun's body was destroyed and he couldn't be sure whether it was the corresponding thirteen diagrams, but he didn't expect this person to directly say "the diagram of the intersection of the dragon and the tiger".
"Who are you?" Huang Shaotang looked at him intently.
The Thirteen Diagrams of the Art of Sex belong to an ancient Taoist scroll, which is widely circulated and is not a secret. It is not surprising for anyone who has studied this subject to know it.
But this person also mentioned the Yin Tattoo and the Heart-Eroding Talisman, which are not something that ordinary people can know.
Anyone who can say these two things is definitely an insider, and not just an ordinary novice in the industry.
"We're in the same industry. I'm the wizard hired by this girl to find her sister." Xu said.
Huang Shaotang narrowed his eyes. Their Ninth Section had just been established not long ago. Even in the entire sect, not many people knew about this. It was impossible for this person to know about the Ninth Section. How did he know that he was a magician?
Then he changed his mind and remembered that when he was examining Zhao Wenjun's body just now, he used the method passed down from his family, which was probably why he was able to see through his identity.
This idea is reasonable.
"How did you find this place?" Huang Shaotang stared at him and asked.
When he learned of Zhao Wenjun's disappearance, the first thing he thought of was that it might be related to the Thirteen Illustrations of the Art of Sex. He also tried to find someone, but Jiangning City is so big, with tall buildings everywhere, as densely packed as a big forest. It is not easy to find someone.
When he came, he had already sent his subordinates to conduct a comprehensive investigation of the place. The room was rented by a man named Luo, but this man was sent on a business trip overseas by the company and had not returned for half a year.
The house has been empty ever since.
Moreover, Zhao Wenjun has no relationship with the man surnamed Luo and has never been here, so there is no logic to follow.
How did this person find this place? A blind cat catching a dead mouse?
That luck is too good to be true!
"Tracking corpse qi." Xu Lai did not hide it.
“Corpse Qi?” Huang Shaotang was stunned for a moment. Just as he was about to ask, he heard a commotion outside. He immediately frowned and asked, “Who is making such a commotion?”
"Xu Lai, Xu Lai, are you in there?" It was Chen Duo's voice.
"She is my friend. Let her take the girl back first. I will go back with you." Xu said.
Huang Shaotang glanced at him and waved his hand.
Xu Lai came out of the room and went to the living room, where he saw Chen Duo being stopped outside the door. When she saw him, she waved at him.
Xu Lai carried Zhao Xiaomin over, and since Huang Shaotang had given the order, no one stopped him.
Chen Duo pulled him aside and asked in a low voice: "What's going on? Who are these people? Who is this girl?" It was a series of questions.
She stayed up all night with Xu Lai last night, and slept until almost noon when she got home. She went to school in the afternoon and was in class. When she received his call, she hurriedly took a taxi and rushed over.
As soon as I got downstairs, I saw several police cars parked. Many policemen had arrived, but they were just standing in the corridor. I didn't know what was going on.
"Minmin's sister is in trouble. You take her back to rest first." Xu said.
"Ah? Could it be that?" Chen Duo was shocked. She had spent a long time explaining to Xu Lai last night, so she was naturally clear about this matter. She hurriedly took the unconscious Zhao Xiaomin over.
Xu Lai nodded: "It's the Thirteen Diagrams."
"Really?" Chen Duo couldn't help but worry. She glanced at Huang Shaotang and others in the room and asked in a low voice, "Who are these people?"
"It's okay, I'll go with them and tell you in detail later." Xu Lai explained.
"Oh." Chen Duo nodded, looked into the house again, and carried Zhao Xiaomin back to Zijin Garden first.
After that, Xu Lai followed Huang Shaotang and others into a jeep, and Zhao Wenjun's body was also taken away by the people from the Ninth Section.
As for other trivial matters such as notifying Zhao Wenjun's family, they were left to ordinary police officers.
