At this time, the smile on Huang Shan's face had disappeared, and he looked stern and heavy. He led Xu Yan across a green lawn to the edge of the fence near the back entrance of the school, where there was a large lawn, on which there was a small garden corridor, and there was an artificial pond, around the pond there were rockeries, statues of female students holding books and reading, stone benches, circular corridors, and on the pillars of the corridor, there were lush creepers.

This is a small garden, and at noon in this spring, the whole garden looks green and vibrant, with a strong campus cultural atmosphere.

Through the pane of the corridor, Xu Yan could see the rush of people on the school road, people walking their dogs on the lawn, male and female couples sitting on stone benches, snuggling together with MP3s basking in the sun and listening to music, and a few children playing - looking at this scene full of life, Xu Yan could not believe that such a beautiful scene could be associated with death and blood.

However, Huang Shan's words shattered his dreams.

Huang Shan stood at the entrance of the small garden corridor, pointed to the garden inside, and whispered: "Here, don't look at the crowds during the day now, but late at night, as soon as the back door is closed, there are very few people here, it is the scene of a murder - Xiao Liu, when is that case?" ”

The civilian criminal policeman called Xiao Liu was a young man with long hair wearing glasses, he was very young, not a few years older than Xu Yan, he looked like a literary and literary man, quite bookish, and looked like a decadent literary young man rather than a criminal policeman.

After listening to Huang Shan's questioning, he replied without hesitation: "It was two o'clock in the evening of the 6th, and there were two deceased. One is named Zhao Xiangqin, a girl in the fourth-year literature department of Shudu University; One is named Cao Bin. He is a male student in the fourth-year literature department of Shudu University. Both of them were mutilated and killed by external forces, and both had deep and sharp fatal wounds to their necks and heads. There were lacerations of up to 30 centimeters in length to the chest and abdomen, multiple organs were missing, and many limbs were mutilated.

According to the investigation, both are a couple and often date late at night. We speculate that the two must have encountered the murderer when they were dating in the garden late at night, and then they were murdered. At the scene of the murder, we found no extractable footprints and fingerprints, only some suspicious viscous mucus on the bodies of both male and female deceased. Our technical department has been tested. It has been ruled out that this is human saliva, semen and other bodily fluids, and it is suspected that it is the secretion of bodily fluids from some kind of animal. Now, we have sent someone to send this slime to the Forensic Center of the Public Security University in Beijing, where they are still doing component analysis to find the same source...... By the way, we found that the white slime is quite slightly corrosive, and after a long time of soaking, it can dissolve a certain amount of organic matter. Its corrosive ability is close to that of concentrated hydrochloric acid. ”

Xiao Liu walked into the veranda garden, and he pointed out to Xu Yan: "Here, under this stone bench, that is where the remains of the female victim were found at that time. At that time, the female victim had a broken leg and her head was facing in this direction. The legs are ...... in that direction; Here, that's where the remains of the male victim are. Right next to that little pond......"

Xu Yan listened carefully, and he understood. Why did Huang Shan bring this criminal policeman named Xiao Liu when he came out to see the scene - his memory is so good that he doesn't need to read the notes, he can recount the scene in detail just by relying on the memory in his head, so that Xu Yan can think of the situation in his mind without having to see it with his own eyes.

"Mr. Xu, this is the situation on the scene, do you still need to know about the situation?"

Detective Xiao Liu stopped talking, turned his head, and looked at Xu Yan expectantly—although he didn't know Xu Yan, he could see that this young man was not ordinary. The head of his criminal police detachment accompanied him everywhere as a follower, and even Director Deng came to chat with the young man, and his attitude was very amiable, not at all like the usual dignified appearance with a straight face. Since his bosses had to be polite to this young man, he was naturally very polite to Xu Yan.

Xu Yan shook his head, and he whispered to Huang Shan and the others: "You wait for me, don't quarrel with me." ”

"Huh? Mr. Xu......? ”

Detective Xiao Liu looked stunned, as if he wanted to ask something. But Huang Shan reacted first, and quickly pulled him - he learned from his classmates in the Beijing Public Security Bureau that Xu Yan had some magical skills, and he walked around the crime scene, and he could immediately determine the location of the monster, and now, also at the crime scene, Lieutenant Colonel Xu was probably going to use his trick to find the trace of the murderer.

Huang Shan hurriedly said to Xu Yan: "Okay, okay, brother, you are busy with your business, you don't have to worry about ours-uh, do you still need any help?" Or, do you want us to step back away so that it's easier for you? ”

Listening to Huang Shan's cautious tone, Xu Yan laughed: Does this guy think he is pretending to be a ghost?

Xu Yan said lightly: "You don't have to go away, it's good for you to be over there-but don't make noise with me." ”

"Oh, well, we won't quarrel with you - you can rest assured, we will protect you around and no one will disturb you."

Huang Shan waved his hand, led the two subordinates to disperse, and protected Xu Yan from afar, looking at Huang Shan's nervous and seemingly facing a great enemy, Xu Yan couldn't help but laugh - I just want to feel it here, observe whether there is zài demonic energy, don't make it so exaggerated, right? Do you still think I'm going to do a great dance here?

Xu Yan felt sad: A person like Huangshan can serve as the leader of the criminal police team in a large city like Jincheng, and his mind, insight and courage must be far stronger than ordinary people. But even he seemed so struggling and overwhelmed at this time.

It can be seen that no matter how brave a person is, he seems so humble in the face of this kind of unknown thing that is completely dark!

Xu Yan used a spiritual eye technique to observe the demonic energy in the air. He saw that the demonic energy in the air was very slight, so faint that it was almost invisible. Then, Xu Yan closed his eyes again and felt the aura of heaven and earth in the air - the aura of heaven and earth was running smoothly and orderly. There is nothing out of the ordinary.

Xu Yan frowned slightly: Zhu Youxiang once told himself that monsters do not belong to this world. They represent ruinery and chaos, abhorred and rejected by the order of the world on this side; And the same. The existence of monsters will also disturb the aura of our world, and traces of demonic energy will remain in the places where monsters pass.

When he was in the capital and Japan, Zhu Youxiang relied on tracking the traces of demonic energy to find the location of the monster, which was an effective method, but now, why did it fail this time?

Could it be that Huangshan made a mistake in their estimation, and it was not the monster who committed the crime. But ordinary humans?

Immediately, Xu Yan shook his head silently, and overturned his speculation: There is another possibility of the matter, that is, it has been too long, the monster has been committing the crime for more than 20 days, the residual demonic qi has dissipated, and the aura of heaven and earth has also returned to normal - this is also possible.

Xu Yan took a long breath and opened his eyes. He turned his head and happened to meet Huang Shan's blazing eyes - he saw Xu Yan suddenly open his eyes and turn around. Huang Shan also looked startled, but he was obviously worried about ruining Xu Yan's "spell casting" move, so he didn't dare to speak, so he could only watch Xu Yan with his eyes open. Make a silent inquiry to him with your gaze.

Looking at Huangshan's nervous appearance, Xu Yan also felt funny. He waved his hand at Huang Shan and beckoned, "Brother Huang." Let's go. ”

Huang Shan looked at Xu Yan, his gaze was very weird. He asked cautiously, "Brother Yan, what is your business...... Belch. Done? ”

"It's done." Xu Yan said casually.

Huang Shan suddenly became interested, and he asked impatiently: "So, is there any result?" Did you find any clues? ”

"Nothing was found...... I didn't feel anything. ”

Huangshan let out an "oh", and the color of disappointment was in the form of color, and he looked very disappointed.

He looked very unwilling, approached Xu Yan's side, and whispered: "Brother, I don't understand your rules very well, if you say something wrong, don't be surprised-"

"Brother Huang? Whatever you want, just say it. ”

"Then I'll be straight - your one is not very smooth, can we add some auxiliary tools and try to work hard again?"

"Aids?" Xu Yan was confused when he heard it: "Brother Huang, what are you talking about?" What aids? ”

Huang Shan hesitated, he leaned close to Xu Yan's ear, and whispered: "This, I don't understand it very well, but I heard the old man say that when the master is doing it, shouldn't there be a ritual?" If you want to set up an incense table to burn incense and sprinkle dog blood or something, you have to show your sincerity, and the spell can work! Brother Xu, you just stand casually like this, without chanting mantras or burning incense, I'm afraid that the heavens, earth, ghosts and gods won't see your sincerity, I'm afraid that the practice will not work! ”

The more Xu Yan listened, the more confused he became: "Brother Huang, what are you talking about?" The more I listened, the more I didn't understand! You say I'm doing it...... What do I do to get me? ”

Huang Shan looked very clear: "Brother, this kind of thing, I understand, I understand!" You have taboos about this kind of thing, and you can't talk about it casually...... Uh, well, man, didn't you just use that ghost trick to talk to the ghost of the victim so that you could ask about that night? Do you scruple to do it here, make the battle too big, and worry that someone will see you like this, and the impact will not be good? It's okay, we've already communicated with the school security department, no one cares about us, you just have to let it go - if you need any black dog blood, yellow paper, incense, candles, paper money, etc., just tell me, you can make a list, and I'll be responsible for helping you get it.

I know the rules of your business, and you will never go out and talk nonsense. ”

Xu Yan looked at the solemn Huangshan, crying and laughing--after a long time, Huangshan still thought that he was just using spiritism and talking to ghosts-dare to love, in his mind, he was the kind of god who danced the gods?

Xu Yan said angrily: "Lao Huang, how could you think of that piece!" I'm still psychic -- don't I look like that kind of money-mixing stick? ”

Huang Shan hurriedly waved his hand, and he explained very sincerely: "That's naturally not, how can you be that kind of person, brother?" -- Those liars who pretend to be gods and ghosts, they have no real skills, and they can only eat and drink with one mouth, so we call them gods. But brother, you are a master with real skills, you are called a strange person, how can you be like those gods? ”

"Strange your sister!" Xu Yan said angrily, he said: "Lao Huang, if you think like this again, I don't care about your business!" I surveyed the site, and I had my own unique approach, which seemed a little strange, but ...... Anyway, it's not a feudal superstition, it's just some of my personal skills, don't think about things so complicated! Let's go, let's get in the car, let's go to the next scene. ”

The next scene that Huang Shan took Xu Yan to was a remote school road next to the school's artificial lake. Huang Shan got out of the car, pointed to a garbage can on the side of the road, and said to Xu Yan: "Brother, what you said is the scene of the crime, this garbage can, this is also a crime scene." ”

Because Xu Yan had heard Liu Yang talk about some cases in advance, he immediately woke up when he saw the trash can: "Zhang Jingwan's murder case? Her head...... That's where it was discovered? ”

Huang Shan nodded solemnly, he looked at the criminal policeman Xiao Liu who followed behind him, and the latter nodded calmly and said, "That's right!" Not only the murder of Zhang Jingwan, but also the disappearance of Li Qiuping and Yu Li, it is estimated that they all happened on this school road. This case itself is strange, because according to our investigation, the closing time of the library that night was 11 o'clock in the evening, and it can be seen from the library's surveillance video that the three female classmates who went to the library to study and read books together left the library at about 10:40 20 minutes before closing, and the three of them walked together. In the surveillance video, it can be seen that the direction in which these girls left is the school road where we are standing, which is also the closest road from the library to the girls' dormitory in Building 19.

But that's where we can't figure it out. According to the observation of our scouts, before ten o'clock and eleven o'clock in the evening, there were still many students coming and going on this school road. Especially this time period is the peak time for students to study at night. We have observed that during this time period, there are an average of forty or fifty students passing through the guò every minute, and the road is illuminated by street lights, which shows that the view is very good. In this case, the question arises: what means did the murderer use to subdue all three girls without alarming the other students, so that they didn't even have time to shout for help? ”

Xiao Liu's doubts are also Xu Yan's doubts. In this case, there are too many mysteries to solve. Listening to Xiao Liu's question, Xu Yan just bowed his head slightly, lowered his head and sensed it. Then, a minute later, he shook his head in disappointment - the heaven and earth aura here was running very normally, and the concentration of demonic qi was also very light, and the middle was peaceful, and there was nothing unusual.

Facing Huang Shan's eager eyes, Xu Yan shook his head, he didn't explain, just said lightly: "Go to the next scene - Brother Huang, you take me to a place where the crime occurred closest to the time." ”

"The case closest to now...... Huang Shan groaned slightly: "I'm afraid this is the case where our police officers disappeared." It is impossible to say exactly where they disappeared, but their clothes and belongings were found there. Anyway, I'll take you to the man-made lake - no need to drive, it's not far from there, we can walk there. ”
