Chapter 237: Is Porphyria Real Here?
Early the next morning, Qing Dai found herself nestled in Xu Duheng's arms, and she stiffened her body and moved quietly.
Xu Duheng hadn't woken up yet, and his voice was still a little hoarse, "Don't move, sleep for a while." ”
Qing Dai twisted a small face and muttered about to get up, "What's the matter, why are you here?" ”
Xu Duheng raised his hand aggrievedly, and Qing Dai saw that he was still holding his palm tightly.
"No way, someone won't let me go."
Qing Dai touched the tip of her nose a little embarrassed, "Okay, okay, get up quickly, look at the sun outside." ”
Xu Duheng chuckled and got up, obviously, Qing Dai had already forgotten what happened last night.
Everyone was rested, and the more they sorted out the case files early, spread them on the table and sorted them with Taotao.
At this time, Qing Dai and Xu Duheng also came, and after a simple greeting, everyone began to study.
Qingdai simply flipped through some of the first records, and sure enough, as Du Qingqing said, there was no record about her at all, as if her traces had been completely erased.
Except for the guards who came out of her back then, there seems to be no trace of it.
Thinking of this, the weird feelings in Qingdai's heart became stronger and stronger.
But soon, Tao Tao scolded secretly, "This is too hateful, just a three-year-old child." ”
Qing Dai reached out and took the book, which recorded the first case, a child was lost while playing outside, and finally her body was washed ashore by the water, her face was rotten, or because of those clothes and safety locks, she found her parents to claim it.
Qing Dai frowned tightly, she simply flipped through the books in her hand, and then reached out to write something on a blank piece of paper.
Xu Duheng couldn't help but look at the past, Qingdai seemed to be counting the number of people and the age difference.
I heard her sigh slowly: "You see, a lot of this is regular, if it is a monster, how can it be so planned and meticulous?" ”
Du Yue also came over.
Qing Dai explained softly: "You see, it seems that a few people are lost every two months, and at first they were all children under the age of five, and I write here. ”
Then she flipped through it again and added a few numbers to it, "In the next two months, the children who lost were all under the age of ten, and then the next few cases were all thirteen-year-old girls. ”
Qing Dai pursed the corners of her mouth and thought seriously: "The murderer only picks girls, and they are all young, and in all the case files, except for the few guards who died in the pit, there have been no male victims at all." ”
Xu Duheng nodded lightly, "But all the information we have now can only come to such a conclusion." ”
Qing Dai frowned, and after thinking seriously, she said, "I have an idea." ”
Xu Duheng looked at Qing Dai, a little unexpected, "What?" ”
Qing Dai hooked the corners of her mouth, "If you follow my calculations, I will lose a few more this month, and I will be about fifteen years old, or maybe more than fifteen years old." ”
Du Yue was a little puzzled and asked, "Why are you so sure?" ”
Qing Dai shook her head slowly, "I'm just guessing, these ages are basically the best age for girls, and they are also the purest age, and after cardamom is Ji Xuan." ”
"The murderer is likely to be a person who pays a lot of attention to rituals, or maybe he has some obsession in this area and wants to keep the purest blood."
Qing Dai thought of this, but still shook her head, "I really didn't understand this, why those children were so peaceful, but they died so miserably. ”
Du Yue reached out and rummaged through the files, "I don't think there's anything special about it." ”
Suddenly, he flipped out a notebook, spread it out, and said, "Could it be poisoning or something, some children's skin is soaked and ulcerated, so there are not too many detailed records, but there are two children with snake bite marks on their wrists." ”
Du Yue added: "But the strange thing is that they didn't find any toxins on them. ”
Xu Duheng nodded slowly, "Is it because of those traces that it was characterized as a monster hurting people?" ”
Du Yue shook his head, "It's strange here, the children don't have any external injuries on their bodies, but they died of blood loss, so those two snake tooth marks are defined as monster bite marks." ”
Xu Duheng frowned tightly, and then slowly looked at the various dossiers on the table.
Qing Dai always said on a whim: "It can't be some strange organization, right?" ”
I don't know why, but Qing Dai subconsciously thought of the memories of the Wu clan she saw, and when she thought of this, she felt that if there was any psychological problem, there was nothing wrong with even doing such an act.
Just like the rabbit-lipped children she saw in the Wu Clan's village, Qing Dai remembered these things about the dossier again, and she frowned, remembering the reports she had seen before.
Porphyria.
It was a disease, and it was born with an obsessive power for blood.
But that's also a genetic defect, like a rabbit lip, and there's a high probability of inheritance.
Qing Dai thought of this, and involuntarily looked at Xu Duheng, "I think we guessed correctly, this is not a monster at all, it is very likely that someone or some organization has a strange disease." ”
Xu Duheng's gaze fell on Qing Dai's ear, and he said calmly: "Why do you think so?" ”
Qing Dai waved her hand and explained her thoughts simply, "I have heard of a disease before, they will be afraid of the sun, they will grow sharp teeth, they will find a way to suck blood, it doesn't have to be blood, blood products have a fatal attraction to them. ”
Qing Dai wasn't sure if she would be able to make them understand this explanation, but she tried to say it in as easy a way as she could.
"The top priority now is to find a way to protect the girls in the town who have just arrived, and it is very likely that they will do it again, probably in the near future."
Xu Duheng nodded, "It makes sense, in this way, Du Yue, you take my seal, go to the mansion, and arrange this matter." ”
Du Yue nodded solemnly, and then stretched out his hand to get Xu Duheng's private seal.
"I'm going to go for a run right now."
At this moment, Du Qingqing happened to walk in with fruits, "Brother, I picked some fruits in the back mountain just now." ”
Du Yue was about to get up and go out, "Qingqing, you let it go first, let Gongzi and them taste it, and I'll go to town." ”
The smile on Du Qingqing's face collapsed instantly, "Why can't my brother be idle when he comes back?" ”
When Qing Dai heard Du Qingqing's words, she immediately gently pushed Xu Duheng's arm.
Xu Duheng glanced at Du Yue, who was frowning, and then said with a smile: "Du Yue, let's go back first, this matter is not in a hurry." ”
As he said this, he reached out and took his private seal from Du Yue's hand again, turned around and pulled Qingdai out.
