"Simple killings can never compare to careful layout. Such a wonderful plunder, it is heart-pounding. ”
With a smile, his graceful figure jumped into the air, like a white wave that dissipated in the waves, and disappeared into the sound of the singing waves under the cover of the night.

"Irene! Erin! Oh, my God! Something happened again! Karen rushed into the office excitedly, with an excited and frightened look on her face, and sat down opposite Tianyun.
"What's wrong? Karen. Is it another serial murder? ”
"Nope. It's a corpse shredding case! OH! It's horrible! Karen picked up the cup on Karen's table and took a sip of tea, "The body was found on the beach under the white cliffs of Dover!" It's actually cut like meat sauce!? The bones are buried intact under the sand! ”
"Oh? It's so terrifying......" Tianyun leaned back in fear, her eyes widened, and she looked at Karen and asked, "How did you find out?" It's hard to spot at the White Cliffs, right? ”
"Someone happened to take the dog for a walk on the beach, and the dog smelled it and dug out the corpse! The person who walked was directly scared silly! Karen deliberately opened her mouth wide and pretended to be stunned.
"Did the police cordon off the scene?" Tianyun asked.
Karen nodded and said, "The body found early this morning." It is estimated that now, it should still be processing the site. Hey? Erin, where are you going? Karen couldn't help but ask strangely when she saw Tianyun put on her coat and go out.
"Go to the beach, take a walk." Pushing the door out, he leaned back again, blinked and asked, "Karen, do you want to go and have a look?" ”
**********
It was past 1 p.m. when we drove from London to Dover.
The early spring sun is warm, and the golden glow that is not dazzling sprinkles on the road surrounded by green trees, which makes people feel a little tired.
Following the winding road, when I drove to the White Cliff, I saw two police cars parked at the intersection in the distance.
I got out of the car and went down the road to the beach, where I was blocked by the police who blocked the scene.
"Hello, we're Erin Jones and Karen Kelly from the Royal Prosecution Service." Tianyun smiled and handed over his and Karen's documents, such a beautiful and kind smile is extremely easy to leave a good impression.
"It turned out to be the beautiful prosecutors of the Royal Prosecutor's Office. Hello, I'm Constable Vic! The uniformed officer smiled and nodded, the officer named Vic was dark-skinned and looked like he was of black blood. After a routine simple check, Vic let Tianyun and Karen in, and while leading them forward, he talked about the case: "At about 5 o'clock in the morning, the nearby residents came here for a walk, and the dog suddenly rushed to the beach in a frenzy, but he didn't expect to dig out a corpse!" Oh, you know, the person who was walking was still an old man, and he almost fainted with fright! ”
"And then?" Tianyun asked.
Later, the old man called the police. When we arrived, there were already quite a few people around. So the scene was still partially destroyed. ”
"That's right. I heard, that corpse, only the skeleton remains? Karen's expression was tinged with curiosity and horror.
Vic nodded and said, "The recent killer is really terrifying! Except for the skeleton, all the flesh and internal organs of this person were cut into meat sauce! And it was actually made into several pieces of meatloaf and buried on the edge of the skeleton. Vic's expression was unusually agitated, and his tone was equally agitated and angry. When Karen heard him say this, her already pale face became even more bloodless, and she followed Erin in fear, and suddenly regretted following her to watch the scene.
"Do you know the identity of the deceased?" Tianyun asked.
Vic shook his head, raised his hand and pointed to a white figure leaning over the beach, and said, "Willy is still taking samples." Since there was no identification, the deceased was left with only a skeleton, and the identity of the deceased could only be confirmed through the gene pool. ”
Following Vic's point, Tianyun saw the stout man in the white coat, who was leaning over to carefully survey the bones in the sand, and beside the white figure, as she expected, she once again saw the private detective in the brown trench coat - Jun Hao.
…… Really...... Here it is......
The corners of his mouth hooked up into a strange smile that was not easy to detect.
Tianyun strode towards Jun Hao.
"Yikes! It turns out that Detective Jun is also here! Karen jumped in front of Jun Hao and grinned.
Jun Hao turned his eyes and saw Erin and Karen, his tightly knit brows stretched slightly, and he smiled: "Why are you here too?" ”
"I heard that there was a corpse mutilation here. So come and have a look. Tianyun turned his eyes to look at the man in the white coat who was still carefully studying the bones on the side, his eyes moved to the white bones, and he couldn't help but wrinkle his eyebrows and said, "It's really cruel...... There really is only a skeleton left. ”
"yes." Willy, who was dressed in a white coat, stood up, lifted his black-rimmed glasses, and looked at the two beauties and Jun Hao on the side, but his eyes flashed with excitement and incredulity, "Although cruel, there is no doubt that this criminal's techniques and knife skills are really surprising and admirable!" You must know that there are a total of 206 bones in the human body, and the muscles and nerves connected to each of them have been eliminated cleanly! And there are intricate patterns engraved on the skeleton? It's just a masterpiece! ”
Karen listened to Willy's words in a daze, her eyes showed obvious disgust and dissatisfaction, and she said indignantly: "That's a murderer and murderer!" You still admire his methods?! You, you, you, you're really ......! ”
"Willy, can I collect those patterns?" Jun Hao asked a little anxiously.
Willy nodded. Jun Hao immediately squatted down, put on gloves, and carefully looked at the strange patterns on the white bones.
Tianyun also squatted down, however, her gaze did not fall on those white bones, but observed the change in Jun Hao's expression.
"What is it?"
"I don't know." Jun Hao carefully recorded the pattern symbols he found, and said: "There are crutches, there are semicircles, there are arcs like lips, and there are strange patterns that I don't know if it's a snake or a fish......
"Could it be some kind of religious ciphertext?"
Jun Hao shook his head: "This pattern is very familiar. It should be a very old written symbol. ”
"Ancient text symbols...... Tianyun pondered, looking at Jun Hao's condensed brows, and suddenly felt interesting in his heart, "Maya? Old Chinese? Oracle bones? Cuneiform? Or ......"
Jun Hao didn't seem to hear Tianyun's words, but looked at the skeleton carefully, carefully flipped through it, and recorded the strange patterns on it.
Tianyun didn't bother him. Instead, he sat quietly and watched him quietly. Karen, on the other hand, was immediately defeated by Willy's horrific remarks about anatomy, the human body, and internal organs, retching and hiding aside to rest.
Tianyun watched Jun Hao's every move intently. Sometimes he put down his pen, sometimes frowned, and sometimes bit the tip of the pen in a daze......
…… Scold...... It's really focused...... I don't know, how long will it take to guess the first riddle? ……
Half an hour later, Jun Hao stood up suddenly, pacing back and forth, page by page, carefully looking at the recorded pattern symbols. The wind on the seashore was so strong that it made everyone's robes rattle, and even more so that the short brown hair was blown into a mess.
Suddenly, he paused. The jet-black eyes sparkled. "It's ancient Egyptian!" Excited looks, excited laughter. He pulled up Tianyun, who was sitting on the side, like a child guessing a riddle, and said excitedly: "Erin, look! It's ancient Egyptian and Mayan! This crutch is the letter 'S', the semicircle is 'T', the falcon is 'E', and the palm is 'D'...... These are ancient Egyptian texts! Following Jun Hao's fingers, Tianyun's gaze casually swept over the special text symbols, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly again.
"And what do these symbols mean if they are letters?"
"Except for the eight Mayan characters, the rest of the patterns represent 54 letters. If arranged from the skull, then it should be 'B', 'U', 'R', 'N', 'W', 'H', 'A', 'T', 'I', 'S', 'U', 'F', 'F', 'E', 'R', 'E', 'D', 'F', 'E', 'A', 'R', 'I', 'S', 'W', 'H', 'A', 'T', 'Y', 'O', 'U', 'W', 'I', 'L', 'L', 'B', 'E', 'S', 'U' 、‘F’、‘F’、‘E’、‘R’、‘E’、‘D’、‘B’、‘L’、‘O’、‘O’、‘D’、‘S’、‘N’、‘E’、‘E’、‘R’……”
"There are so many letters, it's hard to guess what the prisoner wants to say......" Tianyun frowned, as if she was lost in thought.
Jun Hao nodded and said, "Indeed, there are hundreds of combinations of these letters. However, the 8 Mayan characters only represent 8 letters. ”
"Which 8 are they?"
"They are 'E', 'M', 'A', 'G', 'T', 'X', 'E', 'N'!"
“‘E’、‘M’、‘A’、‘G’、‘T’、‘X’、‘E’、‘N’?” Tianyun looked at Jun Hao blankly, "What do you mean?" EMAG Group? ”
Jun Hao also looked at Tianyun blankly, "Emag......"
“Emag?” Willie walked over and asked curiously, "**Intimal antigen?" ”
"What's that?" Tianyun asked curiously.
"A drug that is generally used to treat endometriosis." Willie explained: "The deceased was a woman, does it mean that she suffered from this disease during her lifetime? That's why you were killed? ”
"Nonsense." Karen also came over at some point and directly interrupted Willy's speech. "Who would kill someone for such a reason?"
"Oh, that's hard to say." Willie looked at Karen with an unfathomable expression and said, "Murderers, sometimes just because a person's nails don't look good, they will kill the other person." ”
"I want to cut you because your hair is too long!" Karen said indignantly.
Jun Hao shook his head and said, "No." That's not what it means. ”
"In the case of 'TXEN', I remember it was the launch enable. But apparently these two words have no connection at all. Tianyun interjected.
Jun Hao nodded, suddenly, his eyes flashed, and he said happily: "I understand-!" After the excitement, his expression immediately became extremely solemn. Oh my gosh...... Have to! We have to find the culprit as soon as possible! Jun Hao suddenly nervously squeezed the black booklet in his hand.
"What's wrong?" Tianyun walked up to him and looked at him strangely on the surface, but there was a strong excitement and expectation in his heart.
"There will be the next victim. It's a game! Jun Hao's words surprised both Willy and Karen, and even the busy police officers and staff around them were stunned for a while.
"The order of the Mayan characters is not wrong from left to right, but this skeleton is on the back up, that is to say, the letters corresponding to these eight Mayan characters should be mirror opposites, not 'E', 'M', 'A', 'G', 'T', 'X', 'E', 'N', but 'N'E''X''T''G''A'''M'''E'!"
“‘N’‘E’‘X’‘T’‘G’‘A’‘M’‘E’…… Could it be? Tianyun opened her mouth in surprise.
"Yes. That is, the next one, the play, the play. There was a heaviness in his black eyes. Jun Hao suddenly felt that this murder would be the beginning of a bloody massacre! And that cruel executioner will be smarter and more terrible than any murderer who has ever been!
"What? Fingerprints found?! Willy's phone rang suddenly, and everyone's attention immediately turned to the content of the call.
After hanging up the phone, Willy excitedly stepped forward and patted Jun Hao's shoulder, and laughed: "OH, big detective!" Don't worry anymore. That damn criminal, who actually left fingerprints and saliva on the meatloaf?! He won't be able to escape! ”
