Luo Bin was lying by the bamboo forest next to a pond, and no one knew how he got here. The garden is not open in the middle of the night, and the security guard on duty has not opened the door, there will be no one in this kind of place at all, and as long as what happens is not within the scope of the surveillance camera, no one will know at all.

It is not unreasonable for some people to describe many contemporary tourist attractions as "for people to see during the day and for ghosts to live at night". For example, many gardens in Suzhou used to be private residences and places where people lived; But now that it has become a tourist attraction and a cultural relics protection unit, of course, it is impossible to live there anymore. After dark, the visitors are empty, and as soon as the door is closed, the garden is empty, and it is no different from a haunted house.

Cheng Tianle saw the photos of the scene, the officer fell to the ground, his face was pale and blue, his eyes were wide, as if he had seen something terrified, obviously he was greatly frightened before he died. However, the results of the preliminary forensic examination, including the analysis of adrenaline, etc., the cause of Luo Bin's death was not excessive shock, which is the most puzzling place. Li Qingshui was helpless, and then remembered Cheng Tianle.

After introducing the situation, the sub-bureau chief leaned over and lowered his voice and said: "Mr. Cheng, as a policeman, I know that I shouldn't say such things, but many old criminal policemen have also encountered all kinds of strange things, some people say that this is a supernatural event, but they are all discussed in private and cannot be talked about publicly, and the case report cannot be written like this." Now it's a private conversation, you can say whatever comes to mind, and I won't pass it on, did you find anything just now? ”

Cheng Tianle: "Are you talking about the cause of death?" I did find out. ”

Li Qingshui: "What is it?" ”

Cheng Tianle replied expressionlessly: "Although he was greatly frightened before his death, there were slight external injuries on the surface of his body. But it is a natural death, and it is not a death of disease, it is a loss of vitality and an end of disease. ”

Li Qingshui clenched his fists and slammed the table and said, "How is this possible!" ”

Cheng Tianle: "I also know that this is impossible, but according to my experience, this is the situation I see, so I just wanted to ask him how his usual body is?" …… Leader, do you believe in the legend that monsters absorb people's vitality? ”

Li Qingshui was stunned for a long time before replying: "It's not a question of believing it or not. Does Mr. Cheng want to explain this? For me, the only key is how to solve the case, and how to investigate according to this explanation? ”

Cheng Tianle: "You are the policeman." How do you ask me this kind of question? In a situation like this, if no valuable clues can be found in terms of the remains, it is obviously a man-made and vicious case. What do you police usually do? ”

Li Qingshui: "Reconnaissance, if one road doesn't work, go to another, if you can't find clues on the body, check the parties, see who Luo Bin had contact with that night, who got him to the place of death, and then solve the case according to other people's evidence and physical evidence." …… But according to the train of thought you just said, how will this criminal be arrested, and how will the case be concluded in the end? ”

Cheng Tianle thought for a while and said: "Actually, it's simple, as long as you catch the perpetrator, it doesn't matter what he changes." If it is clear that he abducted Officer Luo Bin into the garden, caused personal injury, and objectively led the victim to death due to multiple organ failure, he can be brought to justice. There are facts, confessions, and possibly other physical evidence, so you police should know what to do, right? ”

Li Qingshui: "The truth is true, but it's simple. How do you catch it? ”

Cheng Tianle: "Of course it's to investigate, just according to the usual practice of the police, such as investigating all the circumstances from Luo Bin's disappearance to the final place of death that night, whether any suspicious characters can be found, and as for what other means the police have such as investigation and visits, you know much better than me." There are many unsolved cases in the world. Can you still not check it? ”

Li Qingshui sighed: "No matter what the reason is, it can only be investigated like this at present; If you don't find out clearly, this kind of thing can't be closed! …… Mr. Cheng, are you sure that the cause of Luo Bin's death is what you said? ”

Cheng Tianle: "What is the reason?" Does it mean that life is cut off? Forensic doctors can also come to this conclusion, which is just a different term. ”

Li Qingshui shook his head and said: "You understand what I mean, of course I don't mean this, but what I just said - monsters absorb people's vitality." I don't have to say it when I get out of the office, but I'll tell you the truth here. ”

Cheng Tianle shook his head and said, "I'm just guessing, not for sure." How could a vigorous person suddenly become like that? This is one interpretation, but there should be other interpretations. Unfortunately, after the autopsy, many traces were missing, and if I had been there at the scene, I might have found more. ”

Li Qingshui: "What if you were there at the time?" That can also kill Luo Bin! ”

Cheng Tianle hurriedly shook his head and said: "I didn't mean that, it means that I rushed to the scene immediately after the incident, and maybe some traces can still be seen." …… Leader, if my speculation is true, there is such a thing as a legendary monster absorbing people's vitality, then this monster is likely to commit crimes, if there is a mysterious death case recently, if it is convenient, notify me immediately, and take me to the scene to see. ”

Li Qingshui didn't speak, and nodded silently. Cheng Tianle said in an admonishing tone: "Actually, no matter whether I come today or not, or what I say after I come, you will also check it." Say more privately, if the police find any clues or suspects, don't forget to sue me.

I know it might be a breach of discipline for you, but if my guess is true, it's more likely to be dangerous. I'm not going to make it difficult for you, I'm just going to spy on it, and if it's not related to my guesses, forget it. If it matches my guess, I may take the person down, and even send you the confession to surrender after you have been tried. ”

Li Qingshui still didn't speak, just looked at Cheng Tianle with grateful eyes, and nodded silently.

When he said goodbye, Cheng Tianle suddenly asked: "Director Li, am I a good citizen?" ”

Li Qingshui sighed with emotion: "Count, of course, you are not a good citizen, where is there a good citizen?" It couldn't be better! ”

……

Leaving the Public Security Bureau, Cheng Tianle frowned, it seems that there are really monsters in the Suzhou area, if the encounter of Officer Luo Bin is not certain, Cheng Tianle did meet a person who was entangled by demonic energy in the picture scroll. Both of these clues should be investigated, and if the situation is serious, it is even necessary to organize the demon cultivators under his command to focus on the search in Suzhou City.

Immediately afterwards, Cheng Tianle went to the building where the Wal-Mart supermarket was located, and did not see the boss in the store that dealt with electronic products. The boss looked thoughtful, and there seemed to be a sweet smile on the corner of his mouth, but there was a deep worry in his eyes, and he looked somewhat strange. Same as seen in the painting, in the real world, this person is also surrounded by "demonic energy"!

Cheng Tianle didn't say anything, pretended to be casual and turned around and entered the supermarket, and then made a phone call to Ai Songyang. He didn't buy anything, and when he came out of the supermarket empty-handed, he happened to meet Ai Songyang. The two exchanged glances and walked into the "Weihua Electronic Business Bank" together.

The boss didn't sit outside, but hid in a small workshop separated by frosted glass. Ai Songyang pretended to buy something, picked a mobile phone and bargained with the guy for a long time, and Cheng Tianle had a quarrel with the help, so he shouted to the boss to come out. The boss came out with a frown, asked about the situation, and said a few words absentmindedly, thinking that there was nothing wrong with the guy, and of course the business was not done.

Coming out of Weihua Electronic Trading, the two found a secluded place to discuss, Ai Songyang frowned and said, "If you don't remind me, it will be difficult for me to notice this person." I meet so many people every day, some are vigorous, some are lacking in qi and blood, some are healthy and normal, and some are frail and sickly.

If I pass by him, even if I inadvertently sense it with my senses, I just feel that this person is not feeling well, it may be due to poor diet or lack of sleep, or other reasons such as being infected with wind and cold. His aura fluctuations were a little chaotic, but his vitality and blood were sufficient. But today, after you reminded me of this, I carefully investigated it face to face with my thoughts, and I found that it was wrong. His meridians and divine qi are entangled in some kind of characteristics that do not belong to him, which may be contaminated by external evils, and it must be the mana that invades people's divine qi to guide it. ”

Cheng Tianle nodded and said, "Boss Ai is really a big expert, and he really sees the problem." ”

Ai Songyang shook his head and said with a guilty face: "I'm not an expert, you are the real expert!" I was reminded by you that I already had prejudices in my heart, and then I came to this conclusion by glancing at each other face to face. And you just pass him by when you go out, and you immediately notice that something is wrong. To be honest, neither you nor I are demon cultivators, and it is impossible for us to fully understand and confirm the way of demon cultivation, but you are good at distinguishing the aura of demons, and even inadvertently sensing it like this, I am really ashamed of myself. ”

Cheng Tianle said modestly: "The cultivation techniques are different, and the supernatural powers you are good at are also different, I just happen to be good at this, and your cultivation is higher than mine, and the means in all other aspects are too much stronger than me!" …… Now that you've found the clues, can you see what's going on? ”

Ai Songyang narrowed his eyes and said: "I don't see any demonic energy, because I don't have any experience in this area, this person has a full innate vitality and an acquired vitality, someone should invade his form and spirit with mana, and use his vitality to cultivate some kind of secret technique." However, if the person's meridians are not injured, it should be voluntary, or he is bewitched and does not know it, which is also like some kind of double cultivation method. (To be continued.)
