【Qijie】The Kingdom of Eternal Life

Chapter 24

The little girl was very lucky. Although she was awakened in such a bad environment, she went berserk after awakening, but she realized it by herself under the guidance of the temporary mental barrier that Xiaojie and Strange made urgently for her. Barrier, survived, and no fugue.It's just that he was injured too badly, he was treated as a test subject for too long, and his mental field was severely damaged, so he is still recuperating in the medical center.But the good news is that he has already left the emergency medical warehouse, but he has not yet woken up.

She was the only person involved who was rescued. I also know that the group of gangsters who dared to rob people under the nose of the tower and dared to experiment with sentries must have moved their positions after this incident. After a period of time, the experimental puppet, after all, met halfway, unlike the little girl who was a victim from beginning to end, and must know more.Although the tower sent sentries and guides to investigate again, there was still no major progress. The whole tower was eagerly waiting for the biggest and only clue to wake up and give some new information.

At this point, the matter basically reached a stalemate again. Qi Ya could only tell the medical department to notify himself and Xiaojie immediately after the little girl woke up, and then hung up the phone.

There was a torrential rain that day, and the wind and rain were like darkness. Winter grasped this point and chilled presumptuously.In this heavy cold, every lamp in the city is dripping with water, standing in the night rain indistinctly, steadfastly.

Qi Ya looked at it for a while, he was not afraid of the cold, rather he was not afraid of any bad weather.It's just that he didn't know if it was an illusion. He looked at it for a while, and when he lost his mind, he suddenly saw a figure on a tall building far away from the corner of his eye.

Qi Ya's gaze swept over this corner, paused for a moment, then quickly swept back, fixed on that point, squinting his eyes to look up and down.

nothing.A flash of lightning pierced half the sky, tearing the sky in two hideously.The falling snow-white lightning illuminated that corner, only the bleak wind and rain were still precarious.

Delusion?

Qi Ya stared at the roof that was beaten by the winter rain for a while, but before he could see the clue, the mobile phone in his hand suddenly rang.

"……Hey?"

Xiaojie was still stubbornly fighting against the oranges, when he suddenly heard Qi Ya pull open the balcony door and barge in half-shouldered in the wind and rain, he just raised his head in doubt, when Qi Ya said shortly: "Go get dressed and get ready." Go out. Bonaye committed suicide by jumping off the building."

Bonaye, that is, the female director of the intermediary office, once gave Qiya and Xiaojie the information that "the other three sentries who went on missions with Xiaojie did not have mental problems", but Qiya and Xiaojie The unanimous agreement is that the person is lying.

Only later in the process of visiting Strange, they discovered that the latter could indeed see the spirit guide.This is again in line with what Bonayer said.

If Qiya and Xiaojie made a mistake together once in a century, then what is the reason why she committed suicide now?

And a very surprising coincidence happened here: the roof chosen by Bonayer happened to be one of the buildings next door to Qiya's House.

It was already very late, but the rain still hadn't stopped, violently washing the ground of the city that never sleeps.Qi Ya opened an umbrella and stepped forward with Xiaojie.The people in the tower have arrived in groups and are surrounding the scene of the crime.

"The rain is too heavy, and the body has been moved to the carriage." The person in charge said to Qi Ya, "It's the ambulance, and the certificate has been obtained before the move. The photos will be sent to you later."

Qi Ya nodded, and walked forward with Xiaojie to look at the ground.It's just that the heavy rain has washed away many clues, and only a little dark brown blood can be seen on the asphalt road, which has accumulated into puddles after being diluted by water.

Qi Ya and Xiao Jie circled around each other, then got into the carriage to see Bonaye's body.

The woman was covered in water, her skin was dead white, and the blood vessels under her skin protruded, showing a cold blue color. Her curly hair was sticking wetly to her forehead, like a few thin snakes curled up.It may have been washed away by the rain, but there was not much blood left in her seven orifices, only a little blood remained in her philtrum and ear canal.One of her hands was tilted abnormally, almost twisted into an impossible shape. Qi Ya put on the gloves and pressed lightly, the texture of broken bones came under the stiff flesh, like a pile of crushed bones of sugar residue.It may be that her hand instinctively supported it when she fell to the ground. The huge momentum and momentum caused her arm to be broken to the point where it could not be repaired in an instant.

Xiaojie squatted down, and gently stretched her five fingers tightly, the palms of her fingertips were mottled with blood.Qi Ya walked around Bonaye, bent down, and pressed her body one by one with his gloved hands. The ribs were also badly broken, and there were different fractures all over the body.It's just that compared to her death by jumping off a building, her death is actually not particularly miserable.

"Have you done an autopsy?" Xiaojie turned sideways and asked the temporary person in charge who was entering the carriage with his head down.The latter said: "Not yet, we can only do it after transporting it back to the tower."

Qi Ya frowned slightly: "I don't know the time of death yet?"

"It was estimated to be an hour to two hours ago." The person in charge replied.

About the same as he estimated.

An hour to two hours ago, it happened to be the time when Qi Ya was on the phone on the balcony, and he caught sight of a black shadow out of the corner of his eye.

The location conditions are indeed in line with...

Could it be that the shadow is indeed Bonaye who is about to commit suicide?

But why is it such a coincidence?Why did she choose such a place to jump off the building?

What is she trying to say?Or, what was she trying to warn them about?

The raindrops hit the roof of the car, and Xiaojie scratched his hair. He didn't hold an umbrella when he went to see Bonaye fall to the ground, but only wore a hood. The tips of his black hair were pressed down by the rain and the hood. Some chaos. "Show us the on-site photos of the evidence collection." He said.

The person in charge took the camera as promised.Qiya and Xiaojie stood next to Bonaye and looked through the photos of the scene.There are a lot of photos, and a sufficient number of photos have been taken from all angles as much as possible to facilitate selection and search for clues.

It’s just that although Qiya and Xiaojie have both learned evidence technology, the guide and sentry are not professionals after all. The former two are better at dealing with living humans, so they just flipped through it and returned the camera to the person in charge. people.

"Did she go to work normally today?"

The person in charge nodded: "Yes, the last person I saw should be the guard of the tower. The latter is not here, but according to the inquiry message from the headquarters, he didn't notice anything unusual about her. He was just passing by the guard. When I was in the guard room, I borrowed the mirror in the guard room to touch up my lipstick, maybe I was going to meet someone."

"What kind of work did she handle?"

"I got a matchmaker for a pair of sentinels and guides, and just arranged for them to meet, but it seems that because the combination rate is not very high, it didn't work. The two people also arranged inquiries at the tower, and found no problems."

The tower's inquiry system is still reliable. After all, if there are high-level guides and high-level sentries in charge, it is usually extremely difficult for the person being interrogated to lie.

Qi Ya nodded slightly, and said, "Xiaojie and I went to the roof to have a look."

The roof of the building was naturally well protected, but with such heavy rain, it was hard to say how many clues could be left.The roof of the building is the roof of a very ordinary residential building, surrounded by barbed wire.The barbed wire is not high, it only reaches the hip bone.On the roof of the building, not far from the barbed wire fence, there is a pair of women's high heels, one here and the other, which should have been taken off by Bonnaille before committing suicide. The leather has been soaked by the rain and is almost swollen.

After the staff took the photo, they picked up the two high-heeled shoes into a sealed bag and handed them to Qi Ya and Xiaojie.

"It's quite discerning." Qi Ya flipped through the pages and said casually, "My mother has about thirty pairs of shoes of this brand."

staff member:"???"

Xiaojie: "..."

"Huh?" Qi Ya paused, and through the sealed bag, gently fiddled with the heel of a shoe, "A sprained heel?"

Xiaojie took a look, indeed, the heel of that shoe was almost crooked.

"Ah, so to speak, she seems to have fallen today." The staff member recalled, "The tower was being repaired today, and she seemed to have fallen in the middle of the work, and her knee was blue. Wearing such shoes to go up to such a high roof It was more difficult because there was no surveillance in the corridor, so we speculate that she took off her shoes and held them in her hand and walked up barefoot, then put the shoes on the roof and jumped down by herself.”

"Check the fingerprints on the shoes." Qi Ya handed the shoes back to the staff, exchanged glances with Xiaojie, and lowered his head into the rain.

They only had one umbrella, and the umbrella was not too big, so they could only rely on it as much as possible.This rare winter rain washed the surface of the umbrella with a bang, punched and kicked all the way from the tip of the umbrella to the tail of the umbrella, turned into a series of crystal lines and fell to the ground, on the ground where small puddles had already accumulated Save one after another small ripples.

"With such a heavy rain, the footprints must not be considered." Qi Ya said.

"Huh? What?" Xiaojie raised his voice suspiciously, "It's raining too much, I can't hear what you're saying, Qiya."

Qiu: "..."

I can't hear you are still so far away, the rain is almost pouring on top of your head.

He didn't want to yell at his dantian like Xiaojie, so he could only hug Xiaojie's shoulders helplessly, leaning into his ear, and reiterated his judgment: "The footprints should not be found, let's go and see Watch the barbed wire, be careful not to fall."

Maybe it was because the sound of the rain was too loud to affect the conversation. The raindrops hit the umbrella surface twice, and Xiaojie nodded with a stiff neck.

They walked through puddles to the barbed wire fence.Seen from the falling rain abyss, the city is like a firefly lamp trapped in a hole, the light is eaten away by the rain, and it becomes a strange and grotesque shadow, sleeping in the swaying wind, exhaling weakly suck.

This building is shorter than the building where Qi Ya's house is located, and the highest height is no more than the twelfth floor.But even if it is the twelfth floor, just looking at it nakedly, this height can still make people shudder suddenly.Fortunately, neither of them is afraid of heights. If it wasn't raining and slippery roads would be more dangerous, they might plan to pull out the barbed wire to take a look.

Xiaojie squatted down, pinched the barbed wire and looked at it, and suddenly said: "These few..."

Qi Ya also squatted down to take a look, and hummed.

They comprehended and did not continue talking.The rain has no tendency to become smaller. It falls into the world, washes away the dust and past events, and sways slowly on the umbrella surface.Sometimes squatting down like this and shrinking the body together can make people instinctively feel safe.Even the most powerful people can use this principle.An umbrella covers the top of the head, covering the sky of the two of them, cutting off a sudden night rain, the neon light outside the umbrella is shattered, falling into the puddles, and melting into the reflection of a city.

If you ignore the fact that this is the scene of the case, and forget about the cold female corpse parked in the carriage just now, in fact, in a sense, this scene is quite romantic.

It may be that the umbrella surface is too small after all, a drop of rainwater penetrated the umbrella frame unexpectedly, dripped on Xiaojie's forehead, and slid down the straight bridge of the nose all the way to the tip of the nose.

Just as Qi Ya reached out to wipe off the raindrops for him, Xiaojie sneezed.Seeing him scratching the tip of his nose, Qi Ya laughed and said, "Let's go. Let's come and see tomorrow when the rain stops."

Xiaojie nodded while rubbing his nose.

After all, this place is close to their home. The two greeted the person in charge, and walked home with an umbrella together.Because the road is slippery, the pace of the two people is not very fast, it is very suitable for chatting while walking.

"What does Qiya think?" Xiaojie asked.

"What about you?" Kiku asked back.

"Let's kill him." Xiaojie stepped on a small puddle casually, and said very firmly.

Chiya nodded curtly.

"Her hands didn't deform when they landed on the ground. If they really landed on the hands and feet first, then the hands and feet would become cracked bones like sticks, and it is common for them to pierce through the skin. Her bones are said to be It’s not an exaggeration to say that it’s almost shattered into pieces.” Qi Ya said without blinking his eyelids, “What’s more, her hand and five fingers are far less serious than the broken radius. What kind of landing posture will cause this situation?”

Bonayer's left forearm radius and five fingers have different degrees of bone fragmentation, the former is much more serious than the latter.

"Her heel should not have been damaged by wrestling, at least not completely." Xiaojie said, "I think someone should have hit her arm hard with the heel of her shoe...so As for completely ruining the heel of that shoe."

"Although it's a thick heel style... but to be able to use the heel to get a person's arm to that extent, this person must have a lot of strength." Qi Ya said. "She may have made an appointment with the other party on the rooftop. During the meeting, she had a dispute. She accidentally fell and grabbed the barbed wire fence in a panic, but was severely hit by the other party on the radius and fingers with the dropped shoe. She was completely in pain. come down."

The barbed wire was so sharp that it cut her palms and fingertips with bruises all over her body.But even so, the instinct of survival still made Bonaye grab the barbed wire with all his strength, so that several rhombuses were deformed.Probably because of this, the other party hit Bonaye's hand with the heel, forcing her to let go.

"But..." Xiaojie hesitated for a moment.

What he hesitated, Qi Ya knew very well.

The radius suffered a heavy blow, and it was difficult for ordinary people to hold back the severe pain and not let go.But is it possible to break a human bone into such severe bone fragments with such a shoe in one blow?

That high-heeled shoe is a typical women's shoe style. Although it has a thick heel, it is not a baseball bat after all.

Unless, after Bonaye fell, the murderer smashed her hand into evenly broken bones with a murder weapon.

...But if the black shadow that Qiya saw really happened to be Bonaye, within 3 minutes after he received the notification, picked up the phone, and was told that Bonaye had jumped to his death, who could be within 3 minutes? Leaving the rooftop on the tenth floor, descending to the ground, smashing the left arm of the dead woman with force, and then leaving?

What's the point of smashing the left arm of the female corpse into such severe bone fragments?

Not to mention, if the autopsy reveals that there is less visceral bleeding,

But these are only conjectures after all. They are speculated or even guessed based on the conditions of the corpses that have not undergone autopsy and the details of the crime scene.Not to mention that it happened to be such a heavy rain tonight, and many details were swallowed by the water...

Just when Qi Ya was distracted, he suddenly heard Xiao Jie speak outside the sound of rain.

"Although she didn't know why she lied to me before," Xiaojie said softly, "But I will still find out the person who treated her like this..."

"Let him be punished."

His voice was separated by the heavy rain, and it seemed to be indistinct, but this sentence, with a dignified sound of gold and stone, was immersed in a layer of solemnity and coldness by the winter wind and rain.Qi Ya looked sideways, but Xiao Jie didn't look at him, he looked straight ahead, his eyelashes didn't blink, the honey-colored eyeballs seemed to be coated with a layer of pure gold, and the hostility was so close, it almost seemed that the color of the originally clear eyes had changed. It's kind of chaotic.

A gust of wind wrapped in ice and snow-like cold and soaked the whole body, and then a killing intent sprouted in Qi Ya's heart faintly.

Qi Ya was taken aback for a moment, and then hummed slowly.

Suspecting that it might be an illusion, he stared straight ahead for a few seconds, then couldn't help but look sideways at Xiaojie.

Feeling his gaze, Xiaojie turned his head to look suspiciously: "Qi Ya?"

There is surprise in his eyes, like tangerines soaked in honey, even if the background is night and wind and rain, they are clear and bright.

...Probably misunderstood.

"It's okay." Qi Ya smiled, and handed him the umbrella handle: "Take it, I'll find the key card. Go home and sleep."

For some reason, this sentence touched Xiaojie's nerves. He seemed to be a little bit happier at last, and nodded heavily: "Yeah! Go home..."

Xiaojie stopped suddenly.

"Huh?" Qi Ya was caught off guard and took a few more steps forward, quickly moved the deflected umbrella back above his head, and looked at his sentinel suspiciously.Xiaojie didn't care about these things: "Qi Ya! Let's go back and have a look!"

He stretched out his hand, grabbed Qi Ya's hand, and just dragged him to run in the rain without hesitation.

Hayate probably sensed the strange atmosphere between Qi Ya and Xiao Jie these days, and has been keeping a low profile. He just followed the two of them silently. The owner who lived in the house came to a shower that said he would leave.Haifeng didn't expect this situation at all, and the reaction nerves that have always dominated the animal world were rarely able to keep up. He stood still and silently watched their backs as they ran further and further away.

If someone else could see this snow leopard at this time, they would probably be able to see a little bit of bewilderment and disgust from that furry face.

It flicked its tail to shake off a little rainwater, turned around, silently turned into a phantom, and returned to Qi Ya's spiritual realm.

Whatever you like.

The puddles formed by the rainwater were roughly trampled on, and the water splashed out dissatisfiedly, splashing their shoes, socks and trousers, but Xiaojie probably couldn't remember this at all, and just kept running forward.Qi Ya tried to lift the umbrella above his head several times but failed because of his backhanded hand. As soon as he got angry, he simply dropped the umbrella and ran after holding his hand.The two young and energetic idiots ran wildly in the rain, and returned to the person in charge who was still directing the scene on the same road, and a wet brake came.

principal:"……"

"We want to see her falling point again!" Xiaojie said quickly before he spoke.

Person in charge: "...Okay...Okay."

In fact, Qi Ya didn't know what Xiaojie had discovered. His bangs were dripping with water, which was a bit of an eyesore. He simply brushed his forehead hair, and lifted the wet forehead hair, and his eyes were refreshed all of a sudden. Quite a lot.Then he walked to Xiaojie, who was squatting at the falling point marked by the white figure: "What's the problem?"

Xiaojie glanced at him. He was probably about to say something, but he paused for some reason, turned his eyes away, and said, "Qi Ya, take a look. How far is it from here to the front of the building? It's completely over Two meters away, right?"

Qi Ya was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly understood what he wanted to say.He glanced back: "Yes."

"It's almost three meters, isn't it?"

"It should be about the same."

Xiaojie stood up.

Falling from higher floors, the farther the fall point will be from the building.Generally speaking, the distance between the falling point of the person who committed suicide from the fifth floor is about one meter.The distance from the falling point of suicide on the eighth floor is about one and a half meters.On the twelfth floor, it is about two meters.From the experience value of the strength of the suicide jumping from the high-rise building, in terms of comprehensive statistics, such a statistical result can be obtained.

If the building distance of the falling point is less than such data, it is very likely to be an accident.Because of an accident, the force of jumping out of a tall building is smaller than that of a suicide victim on the same floor.And if the building distance of the falling point is much larger than this data...

It means that someone was on the top of a tall building and threw the dead down with force.

But in this way...

It was completely contrary to their initial speculation.

TBC.
