Chapter 132: Patterns drawn on the chest
Long Linna asked very urgently, she really wanted to find clues immediately and catch the murderer immediately, lest the old criminal policemen in the team say that she is a woman, too young, and her ability to do things is not as good as that of men, Long Linna is most annoyed by this sentence.
In short, there are a lot of people who are just sexist and look down on young women, and this is the case in various industries.
Zhou Xiaolong thought about it and said, "I don't think it's a pattern, and it's not that simple......"
Long Linna thought for a moment, "Is it some kind of code word?" ”
"It's not a code word," Zhou Xiaolong touched his chin, "I personally think that this is like a talisman representing a certain spell, but, orthodox Xuanmen and Taoism, there is absolutely no such talisman, I can guarantee this, this pattern, it seems to have some evil flavor, I can only guess like this......"
Long Linna completely agrees with Zhou Xiaolong's opinion, because the pattern does look like some kind of spell charm, although Long Linna didn't learn these in the police academy, but foreign horror movies are always often watched.
If there was no such thought, Long Linna would not have thought of Zhou Xiaolong, so she went to take Zhou Xiaolong out of the bed late at night and brought him to the scene of the crime.
However, what is the role of this pattern similar to "ghost painting", or which school of painting?
These, Long Linna also hopes that Zhou Xiaolong can give some guidance and tips.
"Xiaolong, just say what you guess, anyway, there are only two of us here, you can say whatever you want, don't be responsible."
Zhou Xiaolong thought for a moment, because the beautiful policewoman in front of him was not from the Xuanmen, and he didn't know how to say the things he guessed in a way that ordinary people could understand.
Therefore, before speaking, Zhou Xiaolong lowered his head and thought for a long time before he said, "Officer Long, do you have any understanding of the 'demon'?!" ”
"What, don't you tell me that this serial killer is not a human, but a youkai?!"
"No, no, no, I didn't mean that......"
Zhou Xiaolong frowned, so he had to start explaining, as for whether Long Linna could understand, it was her own business.
According to the Xuanmen theory, ghosts, gods, and demons all belong to a medium of spiritual consciousness, which comes from the essence of Hongmeng.
The so-called Hongmeng is an era in ancient Chinese myths and legends, and it is said that before Pangu opened the world in Kunlun Mountain, the world was a chaotic vitality, and this natural vitality was called Hongmeng.
The qi of Hongmeng, with yin and yang, good and evil, good and evil, has continued until now.
Since there is a distinction between heaven and earth, there is a distinction between yin and yang, there is positive energy, and naturally there will also be negative energy, and the bad negative energy can also be called "demonic energy".
If some people with ulterior motives learn to use and control these negative energies, the things or cases that are made with this negative energy will not be able to be understood by ordinary people, and will only be regarded as supernatural phenomena.
"People who have mastered this skill can be called demons, such names, there are actually many in ancient times, for example, the emperor will call those who can spell demons, in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, some people say that the author writes Zhuge Kongming very much like a demon, if you use this kind of magic to hurt ordinary humans, it is a very simple thing, but ......"
"But what?!" Long Linna asked.
"However, these people or beasts who are good at using Hongmeng's demonic energy will encounter the catastrophe of heaven and earth, and will be hunted down by the gods of heaven and earth, in order not to attract heavenly thunder to chop them to death, they are always very cautious, and they must hide their abilities, for example, this evil talisman drawn on the chest of the deceased......"
For the explanation of demons, many people may think that it is untrue, in fact, there have been many since ancient times, and it is just a name for people with strange arts.
For example, someone once said something like this, "I want to show Liu Bei's longevity and hypocrisy, and Zhuge is wise and close to a demon", Zhuge Kongming is good at Yin and Yang Five Elements Qimen Dunjia, and is also considered by some people to be a demon.
Long Linna and Zhou Xiaolong looked at each other for a long time before they exclaimed: "Ah, Xiaolong, you mean that this pattern can play a role in covering up the demon law, is that what it means?!" ”
Although Long Linna is good-looking, she is definitely not just a vase-level woman, she has excellent grades in her studies since she was a child, and later entered the police officer university of the public security department to study.
Long Linna is very motivated in her studies and training, has strong work ability, and is very smart, otherwise she would not have worked in the Criminal Police Brigade of the Municipal Bureau for a few years, and she was promoted to the captain.
As soon as Zhou Xiaolong said this, Long Linna quickly understood, because the cause of the deceased's death was very abnormal, not only was there no fatal injuries on the outside, but also his expression was very peaceful, as if he had died silently in some kind of fantasy.
Based on the fact that there was a lot of blood coming out of the deceased's nose, the medical examiner believed that the deceased's brain may have been damaged in some strange way.
"Yes," Zhou Xiaolong nodded, before continuing, "Although I have never seen a pattern similar to a talisman in the Xuanmen classics, I think its function is a kind of calamity amulet......
"Disaster amulet?!"
"Judging from the scene, the deceased did not struggle much, but was actually killed by the bloodless soldiers, the murderer must have a strange art, used some demon magic, in order to hide the ability to use the power of demonic energy, and then, the murderer drew a talisman on the body of the deceased, not to confuse the police to handle the case, but to escape the punishment brought by the murder against the sky......"
"Oh, such a dangerous person, we have to arrest him as soon as possible!!" After hearing what Zhou Xiaolong said, Long Linna became even more anxious, and her fists were clenched tightly together unconsciously.
For handling cases, Zhou Xiaolong has no experience, and everything can only be explored.
So, Zhou Xiaolong thought about it and said to Long Linna, "Is there anything in common?" ”
"What?!"
"Officer Long, you said that this case is a serial murder case, and so far, there has been a third case in a short period of time, these three cases, put together, is there anything in common?!"
"The common denominator is that each of the deceased has such a pattern on his chest, and it is all drawn with the blood flowing from the nostrils of the deceased, as for the rest, the police have not found ...... yet"
The police solve the case, especially this kind of serial case, and find some common ground, which is indeed very helpful in solving the case, how can Long Linna not know this?
However, this case is indeed very strange, the murderer must be a veteran with extremely rich experience, even if there are any clues left, the police have not checked it out.
Therefore, this murderer is likely to be a habitual offender who knows how to use evil arts to kill people, and is good at counter-reconnaissance, and has a lot of experience.
"If the murderer did not leave anything suspicious, then the deceased, between the three deceased, is there anything in common?" Zhou Xiaolong asked again.
The person concerned is fascinated, Long Linna is under a lot of pressure now, and it is not as clear as Zhou Xiaolong, who is standing next to him, and has an active mind.
Long Linna picked up the tablet and flipped through the information, to put it simply, the first deceased was a Chinese-American, doing business in China, male, the second deceased was a political figure, male, and the third, the person who died in the study today, was the owner of a large company, also a man.
"The three deceased, all of them are men, and they are all rich people, and they all live in good places, these can be said to be common points," Long Linna thought for a while before saying, "There is nothing else, in terms of occupation, these three men all belong to different industries, and the span is relatively large, and the police have not found more important common ground for the time being......"
