Dongye City, Gezhong Town.
Tan's little grandson, who even the old man's dog disliked, ran away again. Tan's old man went from house to house without finding anyone. He left the town and walked one kilometer to the deserted road, only to see the little grandson running back with a sullen face.
Before the old man retired, he worked as a police officer at the police station, and he knew something was wrong when he saw the smudges on his little grandson. It wasn't some mud moss, like blood.
"Where did you get these things?" Tan asked.
The little grandson pointed back, not afraid, "Grandpa, there is a dead monster under the shed over there."
monster? What kind of monsters are there now
The old man was startled, and when he saw the blood on his little grandson, he felt bad, and hurriedly called the police station.
The south of Gezhong Town is a piece of wasteland. Because it is next to a mountain, the feng shui is good. A few years ago, a developer came to repair the resort, but it ended up being repaired, and no one cared about it. In summer, some townspeople feel cool in the unfinished resort, so they go to build a pergola, which is considered a free vacation. In other seasons, the pergola is empty and no one goes. On the contrary, there are children who occasionally go there to "explore", but they are very few.
There were several murders in the main city of Dongye City. The police station in Gezhong Town did not dare to be sloppy. After receiving the call from the old man Tan, they immediately sent their team members there.
The resort is like a ruin, with half-person-high weeds growing everywhere. Almost all the pergolas built by the townspeople last year collapsed and looked very dilapidated.
The policemen followed the clues of Old Man Tan's little grandson, entered the main building of the unfinished end and walked towards the basement, and they smelled a pungent stench. As soon as the searchlight was turned on, I saw a pool in the distance gushing out sparsely sparse blood.
There was an inhuman figure in the pool.
The policeman who rushed to check it took a look and vomited. The corpse had already swelled under the water, with a terrifying face and a strong stench all over his body. No wonder the child mistook it for a dead monster.
It's not that there have been no murders in Ge Zhongzhen, but none of the police officers on the scene have handled such a horrific murder.
Let's talk about the old man's calmness. As soon as he saw the corpse and the scene, he knew that it was definitely not a case that could be easily solved. It is recommended that the police station report the case immediately without wasting time.
"The deceased was a male, and his face was damaged by sharp objects, so he could not identify his identity from his appearance." Xing Mu squatted beside the corpse, and his hands wearing latex gloves carefully touched the corpse. All organs have life reactions. His wrists, leg arteries, and neck arteries were cut. I preliminarily judged that he died of excessive blood loss. The three abdominal injuries occurred earlier than other injuries, and there were repeated Signs of dissection, signs of prolonged binding on hands and legs, bruises from blunt blows on body, and…”
Xing Mu paused and turned the body slowly, "There are also electric shock injuries. Yi Dui, I am afraid that the murderer had abused him for a long time before killing the victim. This case is not easy."
Yi Fei frowned, "What about the time of death?"
Xing Mu said: "The water has damaged the body to a certain extent, and it is not convenient to determine the precise time of death. I generally think that he was killed three days ago. The conditions at the police station here are limited, so I will take the body to the funeral home for treatment. An autopsy. It may be a little troublesome to check the identity from the fingerprints. The skin of his hands is severely damaged, and it depends on whether the DNA comparison can determine the source of the corpse."
After listening to Xing Mu's preliminary autopsy results, Yi Fei looked beside the pool, where there was a steel frame. As soon as he saw it, Yi Fei thought of the steel frame that stabbed Lai Xiuliang to death.
However, the environment here is a lot worse than the tool room on the cobblestone. There is serious water seepage here, and it is very wet. Not even the walls are dry, and there is water on the ground, and clues such as footprints cannot be preserved.
Yi Fei looked up along the steel frame and faintly found six adult hooks as thick as two fingers on the dark ceiling.
"There are bloodstains on the steel frame." Xiao Man got down from the rack, and his gloves were covered in rust, "but there is no trace of the corpse being penetrated by the steel bars, which is different from Lai Xiuliang."
"The victim was bound and abused before his life, and blood stains appeared on the steel frame." Yi Fei said: "The murderer probably tied him to a hook on the ceiling with a steel frame underneath, so the blood that flowed from his abdomen was the only source of blood. Dropped on a steel frame."
Xiao Man was puzzled: "What kind of death ritual is this? First tie it to it and bleed, and then throw it into the pool to cut the carotid artery? How can it be like witchcraft?"
"Witchcraft?" Yi Fei looked around for a week, "If it's witchcraft, the surrounding environment should be more particular."
Xiao Man climbed onto the steel frame again, looking for the fingerprints on the hook.
"Have you found it?" Xiao Man asked.
"There are no fingerprints, but the bend is very clean, and the rest is dirty." Xiao Man said, "Yi team, you are right, the victim was indeed hung under the hook, and the dirt that should have been on the hook was cleaned by the rope. But I haven't found the rope yet."
"The victim is over 1.8 meters tall. It will take a lot of work for the murderer to tie him up." Yi Fei said, "Is it more difficult than throwing Lai Xiuliang on the steel frame?"
Xiao Man nodded, "The murderer chose this basement because of the water everywhere. The water helped him hide his traces."
"Water can also cause panic to victims," Yi Fei said.
Xiao Man said: "Then this is not only physical abuse, but also psychological destruction. The murderer hates the victim to the core."
"Hate to the bone..." Yi Fei said: "The cases we have encountered these days are all hated to the bone."
The victim's test materials were quickly sent to the city bureau for DNA comparison in the system. On-site investigations and autopsies are also underway.
There are very few traces left in the basement, but the entire resort is likely to have clues left by the murderer and the victim.
Suddenly, a team member shouted loudly from a villa: "Yi team! Come here! There is a discovery!"
Yi Fei strode over, and as soon as he entered the villa, he smelled a familiar smell.
In the villa 200 meters away from the main building, there is actually a corpse!
The villa has not yet been fully built, and the interior is full of concrete walls, concrete floors, and metal railings. In the absence of lighting, the whole building is very gloomy.
A female corpse was placed horizontally in a small room at the west end of the second floor. The rotting condition was much worse than that of the male corpse in the basement. It was obvious that she had been dead for a long time. At first glance, it was difficult to determine the cause of death.
Two corpses suddenly appeared in the same resort, which is no trivial matter. Yi Fei looked solemn, and after reporting to Xiao Yu'an on the phone, he continued to check in the villa.
For a moment, he even felt that if he continued to search, he might find more corpses.
Unlike the basement, many traces are preserved in the villa. But when Xiao Man extracted a set of footprints, he was suddenly stunned.
"What?" Yi Fei asked.
Xiao Man's eyelids jumped, and it took a long time before he said, "Did Xiao Ming say that Cao Zhiya is probably one of the 'third parties' during the last meeting?"
Yi Fei immediately reacted, "The deceased above is Cao Zhiya?"
Xiao Man swallowed his saliva and calmed down: "The deceased is probably Cao Zhiya! Look, the footprints I collected are exactly the same as the mud footprints Fang Yuanhang brought back from country E! Even the shoe patterns are the same!"
Xing Mu was the only forensic doctor who rushed to Gezhong Town. Xing Mu was dissecting a victim and couldn't find time to look at the corpse.
Yi Fei sweated in his vest, "How could Cao Zhiya die here?"
Xiao Man shook his head, "I don't know. The trouble is, the only reference is mud footprints. She has fingerprints on the 'Ninth Battlefield', but her body is decomposed, so the fingerprints cannot be compared. Her DNA information has not entered the system, not long ago. Team Ming and I went to her house, but we couldn't find any materials that could extract DNA information!"
"Don't worry." Yi Fei quickly calmed down, "Check all the metal railings in the villa, maybe there are fingerprints left."
Xiao Man has already thought of other things, "If the deceased is sure to be Cao Zhiya, then the man's corpse in the basement..."
At this moment, news came from the Inspection Center of the Municipal Bureau that the identity of the male corpse in the basement was confirmed, it was He Yang who had disappeared earlier!
"What?" Mingshu was still in Xiangshan City. When he received Xiao Yu'an's call, his mind was short-circuited for a moment, "The bodies of He Yang and Cao Zhiya were found?"
Xiao Yu'an had just presided over the case analysis meeting of the serious crime team, holding a stack of autopsy reports and trace examination reports.
The identity of the second corpse was originally difficult to confirm, but Xiao Man extracted the fingerprints of the deceased on the metal railings of the villa. By comparing with the fingerprints of Cao Zhiya left in the "Ninth Battlefield", it was confirmed that the deceased was Cao. Chi Ya.
Xiao Yu'an said: "Yes, He Yang and Cao Zhiya were found dead at the unfinished resort in Gezhong Town. He Yang died three days ago, and he had been abused for a long time before his death. Toxicology tests showed that he was injected Too much morphine."
"I was abused and injected with morphine? This is contradictory!" Mingshu said, "The murderer wanted He Yang to feel pain, but morphine has analgesic effect."
Xiao Yuan said: "But morphine also has hallucinogenic effects. The murderer's abuse of He Yang is not limited to the body, but also the spirit. I'll send you the pictures of the scene in a while. Xing Mu is sure that he died of excessive blood loss, but he was cut in an important artery. Previously, the murderer had opened three large holes in his abdomen, and blood flowed from there, and during this time, he was tied to the ceiling with sharp steel bars below."
"Isn't that similar to Lai Xiuliang's death?" Mingshu said, "The murderer is simulating Lai Xiuliang's death scene?"
"So our inference at the time was close to the truth." Xiao Yu'an said: "Lai Xiuliang's death was related to He Yang and the Avengers. He is probably an alternative bug prepared by the Avengers for He Yang. But who was Lai Xiuliang killed by? He? Did Yang do anything? It's still a mystery for now. The Avengers lured He Yang from shallow to deep, and finally pulled him into this game completely."
Mingshu asked, "What about Cao Zhiya?"
Xiao Yuan said: "Cao Zhiya died half a month ago, when He Yang had disappeared. Judging from the blood and other traces, the place where Yi Fei found the body was the murder scene. There are only two sets of footprints in the villa. One group belongs to Cao Zhiya, and the other group belongs to He Yang."
Mingshu leaned against the table, "Then Cao Zhiya was killed by He Yang?"
"From the analysis of the scene, it is like this." Xiao Yuan continued: "The footprints on the first floor are very chaotic, and the motion modeling shows that they had a fierce fight on the first floor. He Yang's arms and back have some old scars, according to the time. It is inferred that it should have been caused by the fight with Cao Zhiya. After briefly getting rid of He Yang, Cao Zhiya rushed to the second floor, and her fingerprints were left on the metal railing at this time. He Yang's fingerprints were also left. There are footprints of Cao Zhiya on the window of the building. She seemed to want to jump out of the window to leave, but was attacked on the head by He Yang from the rear. The murder weapon has been found, it is a brick that can be seen everywhere in the villa."
Mingshu closed his eyes and described the situation in his mind.
The unfinished villa, two people chased wildly, and the other tried their best to escape. How similar is this to those games designed by He Yang and Yin Zhen
The villa is a cage, and the bugs are fighting inside, and someone is watching them fight outside
He Yang used to be a spectator of bugs killing each other, but now he has finally become one of the bugs
Xiao Yu'an added: "The injury to the back of the head is not fatal, but Cao Zhiya lost her ability to resist. Her neck was pierced by a hard field work knife, and there was a lot of blood splattered at the scene."
Mingshu suddenly thought of Liang Xiaojun who died in He Yang's game, "Liang Xiaojun and Xing Mao duel, and finally Xing Mao stabbed him in the throat with a knife!"
Xiao Yuan's breathing came from the receiver, Mingshu seemed to have caught something, and his heart beat faster and faster.
"He Yang has always trusted Zhou Shan for so many years. Around the Spring Festival, he suddenly abandoned his loyal secretary, no longer interested in the games Zhou Shan prepared for him, and said 'I found a more interesting game' ." Xiao Yuan said slowly: "Just when I saw Cao Zhiya's death, I roughly understood what 'more interesting games' meant."
Mingshu said: "Three years ago, I watched a worm get killed, and three years later, I killed the most important person in the worm's heart with my own hands! For He Yang, he is still in control. After all, he can make a person feel restless after death! He longs for this kind of psychological pleasure and novelty!"
"Maybe more than that." Xiao Yuan said: "He needs greater psychological pleasure."
"Greater psychological pleasure?"
"Imagine when He Yang knew that Cao Zhiya was an avenger."
A light passed through Mingshu's mind, and wherever he went, those filthy sins were illuminated.
"The 'Ninth Battlefield' was nominally designed by Nishikawa Suzumi. It is bloody and cruel, and it will definitely attract He Yang's attention." Mingshu said, "He Yang didn't know the truth of Nishikawa Suzumi at first." Identity, after investigation, it was found that this was a very interesting woman, and Nishikawa Suzumi also took the initiative to approach. There should be something that made He Yang more interested in Nishikawa Suzumi. Soon, he found out, or someone asked him to It was discovered that Nishikawa Suzumi had another conspiracy to approach him—this woman even had a fake identity, and everything she had done before was for the purpose of…”
Xiao Yu'an said, "Avenge the dead Liang Xiaojun."
Mingshu clenched his fists, then loosened them, sweat oozing from his forehead.
Xiao Yu'an said: "After learning that Xichuan Lingmei's real identity is Liang Xiaojun's prospective girlfriend Cao Zhiya, from He Yang's point of view, he must not feel afraid. Zhou Shan said that they don't want revenge from insects at all. He will It was very interesting, and even more interesting, killing this Avenger with your own hands."
Mingshu felt a cold current wash through his body, "This is the real purpose of the person hiding behind the scenes to make Cao Zhiya his assistant! Cao Zhiya is a tool for him to gain He Yang's trust, and he prepares He Yang for him. 'fun' game!"
"Now He Yang has also been killed." Xiao Yu'an breathed a sigh of relief, "There are He Yang's own footprints outside the basement, whether he took the initiative or not, he walked into the basement by himself. The footprints reflect the time from ten days to half a month. Left and right, after entering, he did not come out again. There is also a set of footprints, similar to Cao Zhiya's home and the mud footprints of country E, that is the manipulator behind all this."
Ming Shu said, "He Yang was locked up in the basement for ten days and a half months?"
"It was tortured by the murderer for ten days and a half." Xiao Yu'an said, "In this sense, he suffered more before his death than Yin Zhen, Jiang Xiyang, and Yue Shuqing."
"But isn't it Yin Zhen who the murderer hates most?" Mingshu said.
"I guess, there are two possibilities. One is that this is the last case in the murderer's plan, and his anger has reached its peak. The other is because of Cao Zhiya." Xiao Yuan said: "The logic of our bystanders, Cao Zhiya must have been used by the manipulator behind the scenes, but Cao Zhiya might know it. For revenge, she did not hesitate to sacrifice herself, and her wish to the manipulator behind the scenes was to kill He Yang in the cruelest way possible. ."
Even Mingshu got goosebumps at this time.
"The technical team of the name Yin Zhuo has completed the verification, and there is no one who fits the characteristics of the Avengers." Xiao Yuan changed the subject, "When he contacted Duan Yun, he did not use his real name."
"The suspicion is now all concentrated on this person." Mingshu looked up at the ceiling, "He is 2 years older than Duan Yun, and now he is 30 years old. He has a deep understanding of psychology and the Internet, and is not short of money. 23 I fell into a low point in my life around the age of 2, and it took me a few years to stand up from the low point. I claimed to have been a soldier and I was very skilled. When I met Duan Yun, I might have serious psychological problems... Brother, these are all crimes that we have come up with. profile."
Xiao Yuan reminded: "There is another point, he may be provoking the police of Dongye City - I am revenge on your territory, tempting crimes, but you can't find me. This is also a game."
Mingshu took a deep breath, "His methods always remind me of 'professional'. Could the problem lie within?"
At this time, another call came in, Ming Shu glanced at it, it was from Yang Jing.
Old classmates usually don't call if they are not on business. Mingshu told Xiao Yuan and dialed Yang Jing.
There was no progress in the case in Luchuan City, and Yang Jing wanted to ask something else.
"Lulu, you're busy, I know, I also thought about calling you for two days." Yang Jing said, "I heard that you have introduced a psychological intelligence assessment system? High-tech, it is very suitable for police officers and interrogators with serious psychological problems. It’s very useful. That company was started by our old classmate Xun Xiaoyun, and we also want to introduce a set. Would you like to tell him about it for me?”
