Chapter 477

After getting out of the car, Chen Fan walked over to Li Tian's side.

At that moment, a few police officers came over.

"We've already done a preliminary understanding of the situation."

"I'll explain as we walk."

The leading police officer said.

Li Tian nodded.

"It's like this: the deceased's home is in Unit C, Building 3, Tianran Residential Community, Room 308."

"The dead are a family of five: the mother and two daughters, along with the father-in-law and mother-in-law."

"No signs of a struggle were found at the scene, and the deceased had no external injuries on their bodies."

"But there were obvious signs that the room had been cleaned inside; we initially suspect it's a homicide."

"We've already secured the scene and are just waiting for the forensic doctor to go in and examine it."

As they spoke.

Everyone arrived at Room 308.

The door was open, with a few police officers standing guard.

The moment he stepped inside, Chen Fan smelled a very strong scent of incense ash, which forced everyone to cover their mouths and noses.

"Is this the smell of burning incense?"

Chen Fan said.

The police officer who had just given the report nodded and said, "We just asked the neighbors. This family was extremely superstitious. They filled their home with all kinds of superstitious things and would burn incense."

Superstition...

Hearing those two words, Chen Fan felt something was off.

For modern society.

Actually, some homicide cases are easy to solve, and the perpetrator can be brought to justice.

But if it's superstition...

Suicide would be one thing, but if it's murder, it's very hard to find the killer.

Because the killer will hide their modus operandi, leaving no evidence to be found.

Old Song stepped into the crime scene first with his men.

The first scene was in the kitchen.

A family of five lay on the floor. No livor mortis had formed yet, so they likely hadn't been dead for long.

Moreover, looking at the deceased's faces, they appeared to have been in great agony.

They must have been tortured before death.

Old Song first examined the bodies and said, "? àThe time of death is roughly within the last two hours."

"No livor mortis has been observed yet, and no wounds have been found on the bodies."

"There's some foreign matter on the oral mucosa..."

While Old Song was examining.

Chen Fan didn't enter the scene, but instead looked around inside the house.

The house wasn't large, but because the curtains were drawn, even with the lights on, it looked very dim.

Coupled with the heavy scent of incense ash in the house, it felt downright eerie.

The entire house was also filled with many superstitious items.

Things like talismans and the like.

If things go badly...

It might be a Yiqixie Sect murder case.

After grasping this information.

Li Tian also walked over and asked, "What did you find?"

Chen Fan instead asked, "Who discovered this case?"

Li Tian, holding the Juan Sect file in his hand, answered, "It was the owner of this house, that is, the husband of one of the deceased."

"He had previously gone on a business trip, for about three days or so."

"Last night, before he was about to come back, he called home. At that time the deceased were still alive, and they were quite happy to hear he was returning."

"But he wanted to give the deceased a surprise. So he told them he'd be back in the afternoon."

"In fact, the deceased returned that morning, and the moment they opened the door, they discovered the murder scene."

Chen Fan said, "Did he know his wife was very superstitious?"

Li Tian answered, "No, he said he had never seen any of these superstitious things in the house before."

"He said he suspected his wife had been cursed with a jiangtou hex."
