Chapter 411 A Puzzle

"You have read thousands of volumes. You are smart, but I think that the books that I underestimate are miscellaneous. I like to read all kinds of anecdotes and strange things. I think you are dedicated to being a good student, right?" Gu Chu was very proud. .

Lu Beichen smiled, "It's my turn to miscellaneous books, I really don't read as much as you do."

"That's right? My name as a beautiful girl is not for nothing." Gu Chu became more and more joyful, and simply rode on his lower abdomen, kneading his face vigorously with both hands, "You said you did it in your previous life?" How many good things did you have to do to meet me? I have a good understanding of astronomy and geography. I am as beautiful as a flower and extremely intelligent. If it were in ancient times, Wu Zetian would have nothing to do with it! That is, now you are born a few years older than me, and you are lucky to be on the market The title of a professor weighs on me, it’s really back in ancient times, you have to bow your head to me.”

The more arrogant she is, the more conniving he is.

"My personal thoughts are like this." Gu Chu naturally regarded him as a human cushion, and sat comfortably, "That puppet must be the puppet used by Qin Village when doing funeral affairs."

"What about the speculative evidence?"

"Hmm... intuition."

Lu Beichen leaned against the head of the bed, with a faint smile, "It seems that I taught you for nothing."

"I know, we need to use evidence to speak." Gu Chu felt itchy, and turned around, but unexpectedly felt that he had touched something terrible, and once he froze, he dared not move again.

Lu Beichen pursed his lips and smirked, "Don't move."

"I'd better come down." Gu Chusheng was afraid that his wolf nature would resurface, and he wanted to evacuate as soon as possible.

But his two big hands grabbed her waist, and he smiled lightly, "Just be honest."

She couldn't get down, so she could only bite the bullet and continue to sit. Seeing that she had stopped talking, Lu Beichen urged, "Continue."

"Ah?" Gu Chu was taken aback, and quickly waved his hands, "Don't..."

"I asked you to continue analyzing the case, what do you think?" Lu Beichen saw through her mind with a teasing look on his face.

Gu Chu was taken aback for a moment, and then blushed. He couldn't help laughing out loud. She was anxious and covered his mouth, "Stop laughing! If you laugh again, I'll strangle you to death!"

Lu Beichen hurriedly gestured for a compromise, and Gu Chu let go of his hand. Seeing that he was still holding back a smile, he threatened, "If you laugh again, I'll silence you."

"Okay, let's get back to business." He didn't intend to continue teasing her, the girl looked like a wild cat when she got anxious, with sharp claws.

Gu Chu turned to the topic as quickly as possible to get rid of the embarrassment just now, and cleared his throat, "Qin Village has blue lanterns and puppet shows, and how did we receive the blue lanterns and puppets by such a coincidence? In fact, you and I both know that this is very important. It's easy to check, as long as Luo Chi shows the local people a picture of the puppet, it will be clear. Although most people in Qin Village are now working in the city, there are always old people who know the situation of the village best. .The problem now is that I know that the customs in many villages are secret, they will be passed down from generation to generation, but they just don’t tell the outside world.”

Lu Beichen nodded, this was what he was most worried about.Gu Chu's analysis was correct. Whether the puppet is a puppet from Qin Village or not, all you need to do is go to the local area to compare it. But what about the puppet's secret?Whether Luo Chi can pry open the mouth of the old man in Qin Village depends on his ability.But this is a matter of time. If they can figure out a general direction here, it will also help Luo Chi's investigation.

"There is little information about Qin Village, but the customs like Qin Village are not unique." Gu Chu frowned and tried to think about it, and said after a while, "You said...their village respects seeing off the dead. Customs, the blue lanterns are made very carefully, which shows that they respect the dead, and even put on a puppet show..."

"The content of the puppet show will definitely be related to Qingdeng."

"That is to say..." Gu Chu boldly speculated, "Actually, the puppet shows in Qin Village are not for living people!"

Lu Beichen narrowed his eyes slightly, thought for a while, and raised the corners of his lips slightly after looking at her, "This idea is very different, but I have to admit, maybe your direction is right."

Upon hearing this, Gu Chu was so beautiful that her nose was bubbling, she lay down, almost pressed his lips, and said, "I seem to remember reading a book, saying that in some places in China, it is customary to show theaters to the dead. Of course, living people can also watch, but they must not sit in the first two rows of the stage, because the first two rows are reserved for people from the underworld to watch, and the purpose is to use the power of the underworld to achieve some goals." After thinking about it, He hesitated again, "If the puppet show in Qin Village is for people in the underworld, then..."

Some thoughts were blocked, and she couldn't continue to analyze it. It seemed that there was a little light in front of her, which seemed to be just a little bit short. She tried to catch it, but it quickly passed by.But Lu Beichen understood what she meant, and quickly grasped the key point, saying word by word, "The puppet hides the bones, and asks for it through the shadows."

Gu Chu murmured, "The puppet hides the bone, asking for it through the yin..." The chaos in her mind suddenly knocked open, and his words seemed to pierce the chaos, making her erratic thoughts finally take shape .

"Yes! If it's just killing people, then it's good to find a way to destroy the corpse. Why bother to hide the bones in the puppet? This must be related to customs and rituals. Then, the puppet maker hopes to pass through the bones of the deceased. I pray to the people in the underworld, hoping to achieve the goals of the people in the yang world." She said hastily.

Lu Beichen was thoughtful, "There are three bones hidden in the puppet. This is also a puzzling place. The male skull, the male limbs, and the female body..."

"Skull..." Gu Chuning frowned in thought, and after a long time, suddenly said "ah".

"What did you think of?" Lu Beichen asked.

"It suddenly occurred to me that in ancient Chinese books, there is a saying about human souls. According to Taoism, humans have three souls and seven souls. The three souls refer to Taiguang, Shuangling and Youjing, and one of the three souls The light of the middle fetus is the most important. In the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, it is believed that the liver stores the soul and the lungs store the soul, but in ancient Chinese books, it is recorded that the main soul of a person is hidden in the sky, which is what we often call the skull, while the hands and feet are The other two souls are hidden, and the soul is hidden in the body." Gu Chu said while thinking, "There are three corpses in that puppet, if it follows the division of human souls in ancient books, it is just right, isn't this too coincidental? "

Lu Beichen looked at her as if looking at an alien, "Where did you read so many messy books?"

"I'm a real person and don't show my face." Gu Chu looked proud, and seeing Lu Beichen's half-smile, he confessed honestly, "It's actually like this. When I was very young, my mother thought it was best for children to accept After a few years, I can memorize even ancient books from corner to corner, not to mention the writings of the Three Character Classic and the Thousand Character Classic, Zi Gui, Lao Tzu, grandson, and Confucius.”

Lu Beichen smiled, "It's a good thing that a little girl has a good memory."

Gu Chu said happily, "If you want to praise me, you can praise me generously. I am someone who can definitely stand up to praise."

Lu Beichen couldn't laugh or cry when he said a word.

"How is it?" Gu Chu pushed him, "I racked my brains to help you think."

Lu Beichen hesitated, "Are there still people in today's society who are so superstitious?"

"Please, this is not a superstition. Sometimes a saying or custom may be passed down as culture." Gu Chu corrected, "In some remote villages in China, many have unknown customs, which are related to ancient legends. This is a tradition that has been ingrained in the bones. Besides, what is superstition? Is the female snail filling the sky a superstition? But it is an inseparable part of Chinese culture. I think there are some cases related to religious culture in foreign countries, Lu Professor, you can’t just focus on science, the so-called science is just defined by people, if time and space are changed, it may not be called science.”

"I didn't expect you to educate a philosopher in University A." Lu Beichen chuckled.

"This is the most typical Lao Tzu thinking."

"I think you are sharp-tongued."

Gu Chuyi curled his lips, "Then you don't have to listen to me at all, but you are obviously fascinated by it."

"Your statement is indeed advisable." Lu Beichen was very modest. "In a village that is almost isolated from the world, it is normal to follow some ancient rituals. I will call Luo Chi and ask him to pay attention to this aspect."

"So, I have provided you with a reliable clue?"

In the next second, he turned over and pressed her down, the corners of his lips slightly raised, his eyes with a wicked smile, "Yes, maybe the direction you provided was really helpful."

"Then how do you reward me?" Gu Chu stared at him with a smile.

"What do you say?"

The next day, Gu Chu woke up after tossing and turning. When the curtains were drawn, the sunlight outside the window was still good.In early winter, there is only the lazy light of winter, but no snow has ever fallen.When he pulled his slippers into the living room, he caught a glimpse of the back of the man in the garden.He was in the Winnie the Pooh pajamas she'd bought, and he was sitting on the cobbled steps fiddling with flower soil and talking on the phone.

Compared with the mansion on the Bund, he seems to prefer the bungalow here. When he came back here last night, he said that the room felt like home.

Yes, the houses on the Bund side are too big and deserted.

The small garden would appear a little crowded because of his presence, but the sunlight was extremely dazzling, perhaps because of his presence.Gu Chu didn't disturb him, and stood there looking at him for a while, feeling warm all over his body.The sunlight engraved on his side face, the outline is unforgettable and deep.If possible, she would like to be able to see his shadow every day when she wakes up, just playing with flowers and plants leisurely, not caring too much about right and wrong.

But she knew that this was just wishful thinking.His charm lies in his authority, and his authority comes from his career.

Just like now, she heard him say to the other end of the phone, "I've read the DNA report, something is wrong, keep the data, and I'll check it when I go back."

I heard him say again, "Yes, Guo Xiangyun's data also needs to be compared."

From last night to now, his cell phone rang and rang, all related to the case.
