Chapter XII: Evidence
Shaking my head and no longer thinking about those who have or don't, I followed Xiao Zheng's steps to observe the scene. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
This is the only value I have found in these eyes, and it is also the meaning that supports my survival, like a life-saving straw, I must not give up.
"Yiqing, come over here." Not far away, Xiao Zheng's small flashlight was shaking and beckoning to me.
"Teacher Xiao, what can you see with such a small flashlight, I can't even light the road clearly and almost fell into the river." I really couldn't help but complain, I thought I would come out at night to investigate how much preparation he had made, and he was given me such a small flashlight, and the light of my keychain was so strong, okay. I said I'd be ready to pick me up, and although I didn't expect to have a set of professional and cool tools like the Forensic Evidence Team, at least it was a little bit like that.
"Ah, I forgot." Xiao Zheng was calm and relaxed, standing there with a smile.
"What." Forgot to bring a strong light torch? It's better to use an excuse to prevent movement or too much light to attract unnecessary attention.
"I forgot you couldn't see." He was careless, but I felt a bit of a show-off, "Because it doesn't affect me, I've always searched in the dark." After all, I used to do this kind of thing alone, and I've always been used to it, so I didn't prepare anything in advance with you this time, I forgot that you would not be able to see it at night, and even these two small flashlights were bought as toys and put in the car some time ago. You make do with it today, I'll pay attention next time. ”
To show off, to show off nakedly. Yes, I know that you youkai are more powerful than humans, you see, you can hide in the crowd, you can kill people without leaving a trace, and now you have a golden finger skill that can see things at night. But you don't need to be so proud, can you be a little reserved as a big goblin who has lived for I don't know how many years.
Suddenly, an important question occurred to me.
"I said, Forensic Doctor Xiao, how old are you this year?"
I felt that Xiao Zheng seemed to freeze for a moment, "Eh, Yiqing, look here, have you seen anything." When he said the last sentence, his expression was a little serious.
"Yes, two claw marks?" I subconsciously answered, and then thought of Xiao Zheng's transfer of the topic just now, and was just about to embarrass him, but after thinking about it, forget it. Whether we explicitly take advantage of the relationship, or don't pretend to be familiar with each other, as if we're actually friends, that will only make our relationship more awkward.
"Can you see it?" Xiao Zheng whispered.
"What do you mean?"
"Didn't you say before that you hadn't seen any other traces left by youkai, and at that time I wondered if you weren't sensitive enough to the remnants of these demonic powers to be invisible, but now it seems that you are not. So, haven't you really seen any traces similar to this claw mark in the past ten years, not necessarily claw marks, any other traces similar to those left by non-humans? ”
"I don't know, in fact I don't have any impression of this kind of thing." I frowned. You know, what I do every day is to stay away from youkai, avoid youkai, and pretend not to see youkai. Not to mention the traces, I don't even want to look at the monster's face.
"There is another possibility," Xiao Zheng stared at my face, "and because you can see them all, you may confuse the existence of the human world itself with the special traces that can only be seen by our demon race. ”
"Won't this kind of thing happen to your demon clan, mixing your traces with ours."
"No," Xiao Zheng shook his head, "just as you can clearly distinguish the demon clan, in our eyes, you are very different from us. Whether it is the shape of the traces or the breath transmitted, it is different from the demon race. ”
"Except for one kind of person, half-demon." Xiao Zheng's expression was a little complicated, "In fact, in addition to the demon race itself, there is only one complete human who can see monsters and humans. And between humans and demons, there is another existence, half-demons, which is what you call a half-blood. ”
"Is it a child born to a monster and a human?" Actually, I thought about it, after all, no one but me would feel anything wrong with those youkai in contact with them. "So, do those humans know that it's youkai who are with them and give birth to offspring?"
"Some know, of course, there are also hidden, after all, not everyone can believe it, and most of them will choose to hide it because their partner himself can't see its prototype in his life. As for the problem of the half-demon, it's more complicated, I'll give you a detailed explanation another day. It's already a little past, so let's hurry up and check the scene first. Xiao Zheng said part of it, and returned to the topic. I can see that there should be a lot of unfinished things for me about the half-demon, but it's really late after reading the time, so I have to bury my head in observing with him.
You know, he's a monster and I don't know if he's going to sleep, but as a human who has to go to work tomorrow, I feel like I'm about to reach the limit of my physical strength.
"This claw mark, you see if it is similar to the finger mark on the back of the deceased's neck, but it is a little bigger."
"That's right, so, is this a youkai with four claws, two larger claws for standing, is it a bird?" In my impression, there are more birds with this trait.
"It's more likely, but it's still not certain, let's look for it again, there should be other clues." Xiao Zheng said and turned around and walked to other places.
I took the poor light light that Xiao Zheng gave me and slowly found it, "Hey, Forensic Doctor Xiao, come and see." ”
On the tree, about 10 meters from the river bank, there is a deep claw mark and a sharp mark.
"Forensic Doctor Xiao, do you think this is a beak of a bird?" I looked at the little spiky dot, and if I looked at the narrowed out, it was probably the murderer's beak.
Xiao Zheng walked over when he heard this, he looked carefully at the traces on the trunk, "It's very similar, and based on what we found earlier, we can basically determine the general category it belongs to." It's just that this position is a little strange, if it's a demonized bird monster, he will either be gigantic and will definitely exceed the height of ordinary humans, otherwise he will definitely be much shorter than normal humans. But if you look at this height, it's about 1.7 meters, which is very similar to the height of ordinary people. ”
"Why is that?" I really don't know anything about this kind of monster-related problem.
Ignoring me, staring at the traces on the tree, Xiao Zheng fell into deep thought.
