【First Update】

"What kind of bird are you looking for?" Ma Kai was a little puzzled, "Didn't we go to the flower and bird market to find it?" ”

"That's looking for the living, this time we're looking for the dead." Dai Xu replied, after finishing speaking, thinking that although Fang Yuan was not as afraid of birds as Lin Feige, he was also a little girl in the end, and he didn't know if she would be very repulsed in her heart, so he said to her, "You can stay in the car for a while, and Ma Kai and I can just go over." ”

Fang Yuan shook his head and said that he didn't matter: "The dead have seen it, the dead bird is definitely fine." ”

Zhong Han They found a lot of bird feathers about twenty minutes away from Cao Yueting's rented place, there is a green forest nearby, which was just planted a few years ago, and now each tree is almost only the thickness of a big arm, not too high, and there are not many branches, because the location is relatively remote, it is estimated that few people usually come, the surrounding area is quiet, the grass on the ground has just sprouted small buds, and it has not yet grown, so it seems that the ground is still mostly bare, and the bird feathers are found on the ground. A few days ago, there were a few rains, a lot of bird feathers were wet by the rain, stained with mud, the original coat color was gray, and then mixed with dust, it became more inconspicuous, Zhong Han and Gu Xiaofan only found a little bit of bird feathers at first, and then carefully searched, and found a place with more bird feathers, judging from the number of bird feathers, it is definitely not a wild sparrow and other small birds that fall off naturally or are left after being captured by wild cats, if it is not for the color and size of the feathers The difference is more obvious, They almost suspected that someone had gone out into the middle of nowhere to kill chickens and pluck their feathers.

Dai Xu brought Ma Kai and Fang Yuan over to help, everyone met and assigned their respective areas of responsibility, what they were looking for was naturally the remains of dead birds, which may be incomplete, may have decayed, or may have become a wild cat's supper, they can't be found at all, but they still have to try, if a large number of dead birds are suddenly found in this small forest, then these birds may be related to a total of about thirty birds that Cao Yueting bought before and after, and the death of those birds can also explain a lot of problems.

Several people looked for it separately, Gu Xiaofan and Fang Yuan were girls, originally worried that they would be more repulsive to the rotting dead animal corpses, Dai Xu proposed again that the two of them could just wait on the side, anyway, although the area of this forest is not very small, but it is not too big to find Cheng Dù, the three of them can divide the labor and bear it, but Gu Xiaofan and Fang Yuan did not accept this kind of care, the two of them were counted as a group, and the other three acted alone, and began to look for them in the grove separately.

Just like Zhong Han and the others first discovered the bird's feathers, the color of the bird's feathers is relatively similar to the color of the earth, and you need to keep your eyes open and observe carefully, otherwise it is very likely that you will miss it.

After searching separately for a long time, Fang Yuan bent over and walked slowly with his head down, feeling that his waist was also sore, and his neck was a little painful, he finally found a little that not far in front of her and Gu Xiaofan, there was a small dirt pit, and the dirt slag that was cut into a mess around the small dirt pit seemed to indicate that this dirt pit was dug by wild cats and dogs and other animals, you must know that small animals live in the wild, they have a very sensitive sense of smell and foraging ability, and it is almost impossible to dig a small pit in the ground for no reason, the reason why those small animals dig a pitThere are two kinds of more intuitive, one is that there is endless food and wants to dig a pit to hide, and the other is that there is something to eat in the soil, so I want to dig it out and take a look.

Fang Yuan hurriedly went over to see the situation, by the way, picked up a thick branch from the side, went to the edge of the dirt pit, and used the branch to pull the soil inside, slowly, something seemed to be exposed in the soil, that thing had just been pulled out of the dirt pit by Fang Yuan, she and Gu Xiaofan hadn't smelled anything yet, there were already a few more sensitive little flies flying over, circling around the dirt pit.

"It's a dead bird! I saw something like a bird's beak! Fang Yuan squatted down and took a closer look, smelling a rancid smell in his nose, and he could see clearly what the dirt-stained thing was.

Gu Xiaofan hurriedly called Zhong Han and Dai Xu to come over, and when they came, Fang Yuan used a branch to pluck it again, so that the things buried in the pit were more exposed to his sight.

It is indeed a dead bird, and it is not one, strictly speaking, it should be considered a string.

After Gu Xiaofan called someone, he came back and saw the dead birds in the pit, his face was a little unsightly, I don't know if it was because of the bird corpses and peculiar smell that had begun to decompose, or because the string of dead birds looked like a strong sense of weirdness, which would make people feel very uncomfortable in their hearts. Fang Yuan also felt goosebumps all over his body.

Because those birds were buried in the soil, they took up a lot of mud, although the ground was run by wild cats or wild dogs, and they had no choice but to bury them deeply, but they didn't really pick up this string of dead birds, and the corpses of these birds were worn on a bamboo skewer, the thickness and length of the bamboo skewers were like the kind of meat skewers used in the market to sell barbecue, one end was round and the other was pointed, and the bamboo skewers were worn through the eyes of each bird. At a glance, I can't see how many birds there are, I can only tell that these birds that are worn on bamboo skewers are not completely covered with feathers, mottled, and there are many places that I don't know if they are rotten and lose their skin, or because the skin was torn when the feathers were ripped off, which led to the acceleration of decay, in short, it looks weird and disgusting.

After Zhong Han and Dai Xu came over, Zhong Han was about to go up and take a look, but was stopped by Dai Xu.

"Forget it, just your character, let's do it with me." He knew that Zhong Han was a person with a certain habit of cleanliness, so he took the initiative to put on gloves without saying a word, and took care of the inspection of those dead birds on himself.

Dai Xu put on his gloves, squatted down, and carefully took out the dead birds with bamboo sticks from the dirt pit, these birds were already rotting, if the action was rude, what kind of situation would happen if he couldn't keep it even, in order to better keep it in its original state, and in order not to make other people, including himself, feel more disgusting, his movements were unusually gentle, took it out of the pit, put it aside, and counted how many there were in total, and then began to check the situation of these dead birds.

These birds have indeed been plucked, and some even have necks and bodies that are about to be detached, and each bird's abdominal cavity is open, and there are no internal organs in it, which is obviously taken out by someone before.

"Oh my God." Gu Xiaofan watched from the sidelines, feeling that it was too cruel to artificially kill these birds by such means, "This is to vent anger?" That's too ruthless! ”

"Whether you are ruthless or not, it depends on how much anger you vent!" Zhong Han explained.

"This must be man-made, but the bird feathers are plucked like this, and they have rotted, we can't see what kind of bird it is, whether it is the same variety as the one Cao Yueting bought, let's take it back, find someone who understands it and help you see, Ma Kai, go to the car and give me that bag." Pick the biggest. ”

Ma Kai answered, turned around and ran back to the side of the road, and after a while he took the largest bag of evidence, and Dai Xu carefully put the string of dead birds in it, and sealed it so that the stench of rot would not overflow. Everyone searched in the woods for a long time, and also found a few places with bird feathers, but no more bird corpses were found, and there were about eight birds on the string, if it was really Cao Yueting who did it, then she bought a total of no less than thirty, that is to say, there are twenty-two as long as they are buried somewhere, or they are taken away by stray cats and dogs, there is no way to find them, and at noon, Zhong Han took the lead in calling it off, thinking that there is no need to waste time and experience in this matter, If that string of birds was really abused and killed by Cao Yueting, then there is no essential difference between eight and thirty, and the nature of this behavior is enough to explain the problem.

The group drove back to the city, found a place to solve the lunch together, and returned to the public security bureau, Dai Xu handed over the bag of birds to Forensic Doctor Liu, and asked him to help find a person who knows more about birds to help identify it, and also check the situation of those dead birds.

Of course, in order to make it easier to identify, Dai Xu also printed out the photos he took from the flower, bird, fish and insect market and left them with Forensic Doctor Liu, which showed the same kind of bird that Cao Yueting had purchased.

Although it is not 100% certain that those birds must have been bought back by Cao Yueting, and it is also not 100% certain that the incident of abusing and killing the birds must have been done by Cao Yueting herself, but from all kinds of signs, the probability of this matter being related to her is still very large, from the understanding of Cao Yueting's other aspects, including Liang Kang's other girls who have designed to try to pursue him, this is enough to show that Cao Yueting's original character is not the kind of submissive type, a certain Cheng dù above, can be regarded as a more short-tempered type, but when she treats Liang Kang, she shows endurance that is very different from her actual personality, whether it is betrayed by Liang Kang's feelings, or verbal insults, she endures again and again, and never expresses anger, which is very contrary to common sense and human nature.

In addition, Liang Kang said that he hated all birds with feathers, which ruled out the possibility that Cao Yueting bought birds to please Liang Kang, plus no one had ever seen her raise birds, and she repeatedly bought them in large quantities in a short period of time, so the most likely hypothesis is naturally to buy birds to torture and kill, and use guò as a way to vent the resentment and resentment in her heart.
