Tan Bin was stunned for a moment, and suddenly said: "My lord is smart, he must have been carried by the murderer to the place where we found him with something like a donkey or mule, so that hair has a place to come." ”

Duan Fei shook his head and said, "Is the hair on the backs of donkeys and mules so long?" Let's wait for the experts to tell. ”

"It's supposed to be a dog hair." Yang Sen came out after changing his clothes, took the hair and said with certainty: "But...... I'm not sure either, because I haven't seen the same hair, so I can only infer it by analogy with various common hairs. ”

"Dog hair? On the tail? Tan Bin doubted: "A dog can't hold up such a big person, right?" ”

Yang Bin shrugged, and Duan Fei replied for him: "Lord Tan, there are many dogs in this world with long hair, and some fierce dogs can even fight with lions and tigers, not to mention that the murderer can also put Xiao Zhang in a sack, or use other things such as a cart to drag or pull, and send him to the place where he was found, this hair can at least reflect a little information around the murderer, okay, let's go up the mountain, and Lord Tan will stay in Shannan Village." ”

Duan Fei left fifty brocade guards in Shannan Village to protect the village, and the rest were brought up the mountain, and Li Zheng Lu Kang followed him up the mountain again without any doubt, although he was extremely reluctant in his heart.

"My lord, this is where scholar Zhou Cong fell twice, and it was this stone that reminded him of the original way."

……

"My lord, under this boulder on the side of the road is where we found Zhang Zhukuai." Along the way, Lu Kang pointed out places related to the case.

Duan Fei did not stop at the place where Zhou Cong fell, but asked everyone to stop and rest at the place where he found Zhang Zhukuai, he came to the humanoid boulder to observe carefully, he soon found that there was almost no blood on the ground, and when he looked up, Shannan Village in the distance below the mountain was in sight.

Duan Fei smiled knowingly, turned around and asked, "Lu Kang, did you find out that Zhang Zhukuai's wounds had been treated by someone, and they were no longer bleeding?" ”

Lu Kang replied: "Yes, how do you know? When we found him, he was sitting against a rock, his arm tightly tied with a vine, and the wound on his chest was no longer bleeding. ”

Duan Fei turned around and asked Shi Bin, "Why do you think the murderer went to great lengths to stop the bleeding for Zhang Zhu and sent him here to sit?" ”

"My lord, this murderer is a madman, what does he think, how do we know?" Shi Bin was busy for half the night, and he was already tired and restless from serving those corpses, so he yawned and said with some pampering.

Before Duan Fei could speak, Xiaohuan screwed him first, and Duan Fei smiled: "Xiaohuan, you are smarter than him, can you answer for him?" ”

Xiaohuan replied: "My lord, I can guess this question with my toes, I can just see Shannan Village here, and the murderer wants to scare everyone and say: I look at you...... If it were me, I would have thought of catching Zhang as fast as possible, nailing his hands and feet with iron nails, and erecting them high with wooden shelves......"

As she spoke, Xiaohuan was speechless, and everyone looked at her with different faces, and Xiaohuan hurriedly explained: "I've seen it before, the yellow-haired Xifan people worship the god who is nailed to the wooden shelf." ”

Duan Fei said with a smile: "Xiaohuan is right, the murderer put Zhang Zhu here quickly, so that we can find out that this is a warning that the murderer deliberately left us." ”

Guo Wei asked: "Then why did the murderer stop the bleeding for Zhang Zhu?" Leave us alive to the detriment of the murderer, right? He even broke into Shannan Village at night in order to kill Zhou Cong, why did he let Zhang Zhukuai go? ”

This question can't even be answered by Xiaohuan, Guan Xiaohan may know the answer, but she will definitely not come forward to answer, Duan Fei said: "This question should be answered in combination with other clues, Lu Kang, how many years have you gone up the mountain to burn incense and worship this unjust ghost?" ”

Lu Kang replied, "Hmm...... It's been more than a decade, presumably ...... Sixteen years. ”

Duan Fei said with a smile: "It's been sixteen years, this murderer has been a god for sixteen years, as a god, he naturally has the ability to kill and take away, the murderer regards himself as a god, he can kill whoever he wants, and occasionally he just wants to tell the world that he believes in me and has eternal life...... That's it, as long as there is an offering, he will not harass everyone, this is the proof, and not killing Zhang Zhukuai is also a warning, a warning of mercy. ”

"What a madman." Shi Bin said.

Duan Fei said: "Yes, in the eyes of our normal people, he can be regarded as a madman, but he is not an ordinary madman, his thinking is clear, even smarter than most people, it's just that there is a tendon in his head that is not right, as long as we dig up more clues, we can understand his habits, deduce his thinking logic, and look at the case from his point of view, so as to find more clues, until he finds his traces and arrests him, this science is called criminal psychology, profound!" Alright, let's move on to the mountain. ”

After walking for a while, I finally came to the valley of the unjust soul, today there are some clouds in the sky, the sun hides behind the clouds from time to time, and the valley of the unjust soul is even more cloudy, Lu Kang said with a drum in his heart: "My lord, this is the valley of the unjust soul, I won't go in, I will wait at the mouth of the valley, and when the adults come out, I will take the adults to the hill where Liang Zhutou and they died." ”

Seeing that he was so scared, Duan Fei smiled and said: "Okay, leave ten musketeers to watch the valley, and accompany Li Zheng by the way, don't ask the tiger to take him away, the others follow me into the valley, everyone be careful on the road, don't destroy the evidence, let's go." ”

People who know martial arts are not so afraid of ghosts, not to mention that there are muskets in hand, Jinyiwei walked to the valley first, followed by Shi Bin and them, and then Duan Fei, the dog Tie Zheng and Haizhu Luo Yong in the zodiac protect each other left and right, Duan Fei is followed by three 'maids' behind him, and then there are all fierce Jinyi guards with a knife in one hand and a gun in the other.

The valley is really gloomy, the sky can hardly be seen overhead, and the feet are soft and full of grass and silt, and one and a half feet can step on one and a half feet of water, and the people in leather boots are fine, but the three girls in embroidered shoes are miserable, and after a while, the shoes will be soaked.

Finally, it suddenly dawned in front of me, and it turned out that I had come to the steep slope where the bones were buried.

That day, in order to lay the bones that were dug up, Tan County ordered people to cut down the grass and trees in front of the steep slope, and now there is a rare emptiness.

It's empty, but the smell here is stinky, flies and mosquitoes are flying around, waving their hands to catch mosquitoes and flies, everyone is very uncomfortable, and it seriously hinders the work, Duan Fei pointed to the branches and grass leaves piled aside after the Tan County Order was cut down a few days ago and said: "Whoever goes to light a fire, make a cigarette on all sides, and smoke these mosquitoes and flies away, but be careful, if you find anything that shouldn't belong here, you have to bring it to me to see." ”

The fire was lit, and the branches and grass that were not dry were lit and smoked out, and in a short time all the flies and mosquitoes were smoked.

When others were burning the fire, Duan Fei stood in front of the steep slope and observed carefully, the steep slope had been dug beyond recognition, as long as there was another rain, he was afraid that it would collapse again, Duan Fei knew that the bones that had not yet decayed were found at the upper end of the steep slope, and the bones buried below were older than before, so when the landslide was a dry bone - not a rotting corpse - suppressed Xiao Yang, obviously the murderer buried the body under the most convenient slope at the beginning, and then buried people up layer by layer like a pyramid, But why is there still a dirt hole left underneath, so that Xiao Yang and his master and servant plan to hide in it for the night?

"My lord, I found a string of Buddhist beads." Duan Fei put on specially customized leather gloves, took the Buddha beads, wiped off the mud and dust on the Buddha beads, Duan Fei found that the texture of this string of Buddha beads was quite new.

"My lord, maybe you can find out the identity of the deceased from the origin of this Buddha bead." Shi Bin, who was standing beside Duan Fei, said.

Duan Fei nodded, waved away the brocade guard, and after a while, someone found the Buddha beads, but the rope used to string the beads was broken, and then more beads were found, Duan Fei's mood gradually became heavy, so many Buddha beads of similar styles could not all be owned by the deceased, it was very likely that the murderer wore them when burying the dead, what is the meaning?

Guan Xiaohan saw Duan Fei holding the Buddha beads and was silent, her eyes rolled and she said, "My lord, these beads may be used to harm people." ”

Duan Fei said suspiciously: "Buddha beads can also harm people? ”

Guan Xiaohan said: "Yes, my lord, the charms engraved on these Buddha beads have the effect of calming the soul and strengthening the soul, but if they are used on the dead...... Then it would be a vicious curse. ”

Duan Fei made it clear in one click, and he blurted out: "The murderer hopes to use this thing to lock the soul of the deceased in the corpse, and he will never be able to live beyond his life, and it is really vicious!" ”

Dozens of people quickly turned over the scene, and even the steep slope was ploughed again, and no other suspicious things were found except for Buddhist beads and some broken bones, and nothing that originally belonged to the deceased was found, and the murderer took all the things that belonged to them after killing people.

Luo Zhicheng, a hundred households in brocade clothes, came and said: "My lord, we have searched twice, and there is no new discovery. ”

Duan Fei nodded, there was no new instructions for the time being, he looked around, and saw that there were many wooden blocks left on the ground in addition to the silt, everyone didn't want to step into the silt, they stepped on those wooden blocks back and forth, it seemed normal at first glance, but Duan Fei felt that something was wrong, he frowned, and said: "Have you noticed that these wooden blocks that you use as stepping feet are all cut down by people, they are all about the same shape and size, most of them are rotten, they are not things that belong here, they are very likely to be funeral goods, Why do people ignore it? ”

Hearing Duan Fei's words, everyone was startled, and hurriedly jumped away from the wooden block, Duan Fei also heard an exclamation beside him, Li Yuying was standing on the two wooden blocks, she was so frightened that she jumped back, stepped on a piece of muddy water, slipped under her feet, and fell down from the sky.

Duan Feiyan quickly reached out and hugged her by the waist, so as to prevent her from falling into the muddy water, but he didn't expect Li Yuying to scream in his arms and struggle desperately at the same time.

Duan Fei was stunned for a moment, hurriedly handed her over to Xiaohuan on the side to support, and said, "I'm sorry, Miss Li, I saw you fall, and I helped you in a hurry, I don't mean anything else, please forgive me." ”

Guo Wei also comforted on the side: "Xiaoying, it's nothing, don't scream, this time the echo is loud, and your ears are going to be deafening." ”

Li Yuying's mood stabilized slightly, her cheeks were as white as snow, she looked at Duan Fei in horror and said, "You...... Don't touch me, your gloves...... Not clean......"

Duan Fei then understood why she was screaming like a ghost, it turned out that she was afraid of being dirty, Duan Fei said helplessly: "Miss, tell you not to follow the mountain, if I didn't hold you just now, this ground is full of water soaked in corpses, if you fall down......"

Li Yuying said in a panic: "Don't say it. Then he threw himself into Xiaohuan's arms, refusing to look up again, Guan Xiaohan glanced at Duan Fei and said, "Okay, don't scare Sister Yuying, she is pitiful enough." ”

Duan Fei said innocently: "Am I more innocent if I am still blamed for doing good deeds?" Okay, let's stop watching the show, pick up these pieces of wood, and let me see what this thing is for. ”

The wooden blocks were soon piled up in a pile, to be precise, they should be called square wooden strips, almost the same size, but of different lengths, some were extremely rotten, and some were quite new, just like those Buddha beads.

There is no doubt that these wooden strips are funeral goods, there are about four hundred of them, which seems to be a little more for more than a hundred deceased, but Duan Fei picked out eighteen almost brand new wooden strips from them, compared to the latest three corpses, Duan Fei has a realization, if each corpse needs to be equipped with six wooden strips, what are they used for?

"Maybe I want to put up some special symbol." Guan Xiaohan couldn't be sure: "Didn't you say that the corpses of the head catcher Liang Chun were also placed into pentagrams?" plus Zhang Zhukuai, who didn't die, just six people and six sticks. ”

Duan Fei glanced at her suspiciously, then lowered his head to observe the wooden sticks, only to hear Yang Sen say: "My lord, there are a lot of strings on these woods, just like the ones I found on the corpses, but unfortunately the people who excavated the bones were very unprofessional, and the scene was completely destroyed, and now it is really hard to imagine what these things are used for." Alas......"

Duan Fei also regretted this, and said: "Tie them up a few times and bring them back to the bottom of the mountain." ”

The burial site can be regarded as the exploration is basically completed, Duan Fei took everyone to leave the Valley of Unjust Souls, only to see that the sun was already noon, Duan Fei said: "Everyone eat some dry food and rest." ”

The people of Jinyiwei are all carefully selected, many of them have also experienced the battlefield, they can wash their hands and grab things and eat them, the three women are no problem with Xiao Han and Xiaohuan, but Li Yuying is a little unable to eat, she seems to be very concerned about the place where Duan Fei once touched with her gloves, as if she was uncomfortable, if she brought clothes to change, I was afraid that she would have washed and changed early.

With his back to the Valley of the Wronged Soul, Duan Fei sat on the grass and looked at the mountain opposite, only to see that the mountain was not too high, the mountain was densely wooded, a large rock protruded halfway up the mountain, and the vegetation on the stone platform was dense, covering the stone platform tightly.

Duan Fei's gaze stared over there, and suddenly he felt something, as if someone was staring at him over there, Duan Fei quietly moved his face away, took out a binoculars from his arms, stretched it out, and suddenly looked at the stone platform in front of him.

The first glance was a little hazy, Duan Fei adjusted the focus, his vision was clear, just as he quickly shook the lens to find the target, a grimace with a blue face and fangs drooping with a blood-red tongue flashed, and such a picture suddenly appeared in the telescope, Duan Fei couldn't help but be taken aback, and when he calmed down and went back to search, he only saw swaying branches.

Duan Fei jumped up and shouted, "There are people on that platform!" Leave ten people here, Lu Kang and Yuying, you stay, Luo Zhicheng, you lead a team of people to outflank from the west, and the others come with me, no matter who you meet, you will take it down for me on the spot, you must stay alive! ”

Duan Fei took the lead and walked around the east side of the hill, and the fastest reaction was Guan Xiaohan, her skills seemed to have recovered a little, and she was able to use light skills.

Everyone swarmed away, and the rest of Lu Kang and the others sat on the grass in amazement.

When Duan Fei rushed up to the stone platform protruding from the high cliff, there was no one there, and Luo Zhicheng who rushed up from the other side also found nothing, Duan Fei ordered everyone to disperse and search the mountain, he settled down and began to investigate the scene.

The ground was mottled with blood, and the human-shaped white circles depicting the location of the corpse were still there, but there were more footprints of small animals crawling.

At the beginning, the five headless corpses of Liang Chun and others were arranged into a pentagonal shape, plus the human heads placed in the distance, they formed a neat and bloody and strange five-pointed star array, one corner of the five-pointed star pointed out of the cliff, Duan Fei stood in the center of the five-pointed star array and looked along that corner, just saw the direction of the Valley of the Unjust Soul, and a bare mountain wall suddenly came into view.

Guan Xiaohan also followed Duan Fei's gaze, and when he saw this, he couldn't help but sigh lightly: "It's the hillside where the bones are buried......"

Duan Fei said: "Yes, you can clearly see that tomb from here, the murderer must often appreciate his masterpieces here, and this is also the best place to supervise the Valley of Unjust Souls, so Liang Zhutou also chose here, but he didn't expect that all their actions were seen by the murderer, and the murderer calculated Liang Zhutou and them with the help of the place he was most familiar with, and Liang Zhutou and them died so strangely." ”

Guan Xiaohan smiled and said: "There are a lot of drugs that make people delirious, supplemented by some props, it is not difficult for Liang Zhutou and them to kill each other, I suggest that Gongzi search within a radius of five zhang, and he will definitely find something." ”

Duan Fei also nodded and said, "Shi Bin, did the four of you hear it?" Search carefully and see what you find. ”

Shi Bin glanced at Guan Xiaohan suspiciously, he didn't know Guan Xiaohan's true identity, because Guan Xiaohan used the legendary human skin mask this time, and no one else saw it except Duan Fei.

Shi Bin and they searched, Duan Fei was not idle, he distinguished the traces on the ground, blood spots, and deduced what happened that night, but after looking at it for a while, he was sure that it was in vain, it was a big fight between the six people that night, the blood stains on the ground were very messy, and they were trampled and dragged, without sophisticated instruments, they couldn't see anything with a magnifying glass, and even if they saw something, the order couldn't be judged at all.
