Chapter 25: The Bone Tree Case
Just as Zhu Jue thought, Suzi returned to the clinic at midnight.
Zhu Jue was not in a hurry to sleep, and after a simple wash, he met in the small living room on the second floor to exchange information.
The curtains were closed to hide the wind and rain outside, and in order to ensure privacy, the chandelier in the living room was not turned on, but a lamp with a lampshade was placed on the round table in the center, and the scope of lighting was limited to the sofa where the two people were sitting.
I am most satisfied with this wind chime.
Lying at the junction of light and darkness, from time to time stretch and stretch on both sides with paws to probe.
"Who's going to say it first?"
Zhu Jue, who was wearing pajamas, asked while lighting incense with a lighter.
"Let me start with it, I have already compiled the information I got tonight when you haven't come back yet, and I won't have much content, so I'll be able to finish it soon. ”
Suzi also took off her coat at this time, wearing only a black racerman, tied her short hair behind her ears, and opened the notes on the table.
She didn't need this thing herself, it was purely to take care of Zhu Jue, an "ordinary person".
"Let's talk about the homicide case in Community 15 first, I found a patrol member who was in charge of investigating the case at the time, the money offensive you mentioned was very useful, and I ...... as a special reporter"
"Special correspondents?"
"It's the paparazzi of lace news, it's introduced on the Internet, not to mention the news agency to which I belong, this identity is relatively safe. ”
With the help of this identity and the thick 3 wades of money in front of the patrol members, Suzi easily pried open the former's mouth.
Happened in the No. 15 community, the murder case on the second floor of the Glow Rose Night Farm is not an independent case, and even such cases in the patrol team have a unified name, the Bone Tree Murder Case!
"According to the other party, the bone tree ...... The bones of the bones, the victims of the bone tree homicide showed a surprisingly consistent state after their deaths, that is, some part of the bones in the body must have changed, and a plant similar to a lotus pod will grow in the back of the head. ”
Writing down the three short sentences of bone mutation, serial murder, and lotus-like plants in the notebook, Suzi's eyes fell on Zhu Jue, waiting for his inquiry.
"It's not very common, and I've actually just had some similar information...... Since it's a serial murder case, the patrol must also take it very seriously, did they find anything?"
The information given by Rona was related to the Thorn Sect, and Zhu Jue also felt that it was very likely, but in any case, this was their conclusion based on a photo from three years ago.
It is clear that this is still far from being the key to uncovering the hidden secrets of the Thorn Sect.
Putting aside the information obtained in the gladiatorial arena for the time being, Zhu Jue wanted to know if the Thousand Sails City Patrol had made a breakthrough in this regard.
After all, compared to Zhu Jue and Suzi, the two "detectives" who became monks halfway, the Qianfan City Patrol is a regular inspection department anyway, and the investigation process is more organized, and the social resources that can be mobilized and the official care and cooperation are not comparable to them.
"According to the patrol team's habit of investigating cases, they conduct investigations from two aspects, one is the background of the victim!"
As Suzi spoke, he kept writing some names and professional names or backgrounds in his notebook, and then said,
"The police officer I bought was involved in the Bone Tree case, so he remembered a lot of the victims, and I'll list them all here. ”
Thress, leader of the Sludge Gang and one of the 15 community head snakes (the most recent victim)
Lovegroveski, Community 17, Violent Offender.
John Minkos, Community 21, drug dealer.
......
"What's all the scum?"
Sweeping his gaze over the victim's resume, Zhu Jue immediately found what these people had in common.
"Yes, all of the victims so far have criminal records or gangsters, and almost every one of them can be described as human scum by what you call human scum. ”
"What is the purpose of picking these people to attack, you must know that a considerable number of these people you list are supported by power, and killing them will only attract enemies for yourself except for the patrol, and they are the kind of people who are unscrupulous, right?"
"Justice, perhaps?"
Suko said suddenly.
"Enforce justice in this way...... Although these people do deserve to die, this method is a bit too extreme anyway, right?"
Stretched out his hand and clicked on the photo of the bone tree on the table, even if he had seen it a few times before, it still looked staggering.
"It is not so much a simple execution of justice as it is only a part of the thinking contained in such an action, and there must be other reasons for the murderer to bring the victim into this state. ”
"So it seems that the key to the problem is the method of killing!"
The shape of the bone tree undoubtedly crosses the boundary of justice execution, with a strong sense of purpose.
"That's right, it seems that you have also discovered Huadian, a blind student. ”
I don't know when, Zhu Jue shrank into the sofa, put his hands together to his lips, and half-squinted his eyes to pretend to be a great detective.
"This is also the second point I want to make, the investigation of the killing methods within the patrol is no longer limited to the internal forensic medical institution, it is said that a test has been applied to a scientific research institution in Shangcheng District, and the results have not yet been released or may not have been found. ”
Completely ignoring Zhu Jue's pretense, Suzi said to herself.
It is naturally impossible for the patrol team to ignore this extremely special modus operandi, and it is estimated that the investigation has been carried out since the first case.
It's just that judging from the fact that the murderer has not been caught and no information has been released to the public, I am afraid that the progress in this area is not as smooth as imagined.
"Speaking of this, I'll show you something, you wait first, I'll have to go back to my room and get it." ”
Because of the pajamas, Zhu Jue didn't have a pocket on his body, and the spiny ball was obviously not something that could be taken out of his pocket, so he could only pretend to go back to the room, and then use the space ring to take out the thing and return to the living room when he got to the door, along with the information obtained from the cultivation room of the gladiatorial arena in his hand.
In a more abbreviated word, he described what he experienced in the gladiatorial arena from beginning to end, emphasizing the origin of these two things in his hands.
Not surprisingly, Suko's attention was quickly drawn to the echinoderm ball.
"I can't find the corresponding item on the Internet, you have to use professional tools to detect what is hidden in it, according to you, the situation on the top of the monster's head is somewhat similar to the situation of the victims in the bone tree case, does this mean that the bone trees formed by the mutation of those victims have also produced such ...... Something like a fruit?"
The dark brown color, as if indicating some ominous uneven skin glowing metallic under the illumination of the table lamp, can feel the cold very clearly when touched, and ordinary people will feel dizzy even if they look at it a few times.
That's why Suzi and Zhu Jue can study it in their hands so carelessly.
"Speaking of the plant in the back of the victim's head in the bone tree case...... In fact, the first time I saw it, I thought it was something growing on it. ”
Pick up the photo and look at it, and use a red oil-based pen to circle the special features of the back of the head.
"Is there anything the killer of the Bone Tree Case is looking for?"
Suzi held up the echinoderm fruit and said,
"The conditions here are not enough for us to explore its secrets, should we send it back to Dawning City for research?"
Instruments in private clinics may be useful, but it is not clear that they can be used to determine what it is.
No, no matter how much time is wasted back and forth, this thing is something condensed from the top of the head of the monster of the source of spiritual pollution, and it doesn't seem to be threatening now, in case something goes wrong in the research process, do you think that old guy Fu Yingying can hold it?"
Intuition told Zhu Jue that this echinoderm fruit was best not to take it out at will, and it was the best choice to stay with him.
"I suggest that the clinic buy new equipment as a cover to purchase some special equipment, and the test will be carried out here, you make a list of purchases, and I will pay for it. ”
"Hmm...... I'm not sure which instruments are useful, which would be a big expense. ”
It was no problem for Suzi to rely on the analytical power of the database to operate the instrument, but the point was that she did not know which instrument could detect this echinoderm fruit.
"Isn't that straightforward enough, all you have to do is write down the list of instruments you might need, and you don't have to worry about the rest. ”
Now Zhu Jue is more or less qualified to say the phrase "everything that can be solved with money is not a problem".
Besides, if you don't spend money at this time, when will you spend it?
"Since you say so, then I have no opinion. ”
"In addition, the information in this USB flash drive still has to be analyzed and deciphered by you, the human experiments in the gladiatorial arena cultivation room are not necessarily the kind of human experiments that I came into contact with in the death game, but it is certain that there must be some kind of connection between the two, and its priority should be above the echinoderm fruit, and it is estimated that you have been busy recently. ”
Compared with the uncertainty of the echinoderm fruit, the data in the USB flash drive is an important source of clues that can be predicted, and it is natural to give priority to it.
"I understand, I just found out about the Ranger organization that you mentioned earlier, and this organization is actually the Ranger organization you saw when you went out at night before, but the Ranger is the name they and the people at the bottom of the group call this organization, and the latter is the official name. ”
Suzi sat on the sofa, and Lin Godot's affairs also needed attention, and then said,
"At the moment, we don't know what the purpose of the Bandit Organization is sending someone to the clinic, should we find an opportunity to quit her?"
"No need, dismissing her will cause suspicion, just keep her under your nose and pay more attention, there are too many things to be busy with in the near future, and it is not worth it to involve too much energy in her......"
Halfway through the words, Zhu Jue suddenly fell silent.
Thinking of the many new clues that these things at hand might bring, Zhu Jue suddenly realized that as the investigation deepened, he would have to face a rather complicated situation for a while in the future.
The dream realm became a thorn in his heart at this time.
Now that a week has passed unconsciously, it's not that I'm afraid of the urging of Grand Elder Attar, but it will definitely take time to go to the Solan City Great Library to do something, even if the real world may only be an hour or two, for Zhu Jue, the experience in the realm of the illusion dream is just as real.
Wait until there are more things at hand in the future, and suddenly switch environments to do other things will definitely affect the state.
It's like suddenly opening a game in the middle of your homework, and when you get two or three games down, the formulas that were full of you before are a mess.
Therefore, under the premise that his mental state has recovered now, Zhu Jue thought about whether to enter the dream realm first, at least solve the matter of the Solan Library first.
Obtaining information about the current location of the Codex Nackert was kept in the mind of the province.
"What are you thinking?"
Suzi thought that Zhu Jue had thought of some clues, so she asked.
"It's okay, I'm just a little tired, and if there's nothing to do, I want to go and rest first. ”
Since he thought of this, Zhu Jue was not ready to waste time, and immediately prepared to go back to his room and go to the dream realm.
