Su Ping's pace quickened a lot.

Then he took a closer look, and there was really a foot on the grass, and the distance was still shaking, but the body of the python, which was already much smaller, was only five or six meters away.

At a glance, the damage to this foot is also quite serious, the skin is almost eroded, and the surface is covered with a layer of inexplicable mucus that looks strange and disgusting.

Speaking of which, the human foot is actually a more special organ than the shape of the hand. At first glance, human hands are not much different from monkey hands, but the characteristics of human feet can be said to be unique, and they are very different from apes and monkeys, even laymen will not admit mistakes.

And there is not only one foot in the same place, there are many messy objects, but that foot is the most eye-catching.

"Is this this python spitting out?" Su Ping's eyes changed slightly, and at the same time muttered: "I felt threatened, and the excess food in my stomach was inconvenient to move, so I vomited out the 'things' I ate?" ”

Snakes have a very special digestive system, which is extremely elastic, and can swallow their prey whole, and naturally spit it out. Although it is rare for snakes to do this unless necessary, doing less does not mean that they will not, vomiting is an instinct that most creatures have, and it is also a protective mechanism.

And there is a human foot on the scene, which means ......

"Team Su, I'm afraid this is not quite right." At this time, Qi Yuan said again: "First the monkey hand, then the python, and then a human foot...... Although this is not a deep mountain and old forest, it can be said that it is inaccessible, and I always feel that something is wrong. ”

Su Ping snorted. Obviously, what he thought of, Qi Yuan also thought of.

"Tell me, don't close the queue yet." At this time, it happened that Xun Mu also came over, and after Su Ping pointed to the foot on the ground, he said, "This case is not very simple. The previous monkey hand is probably a little related to this foot, and it's not the same **.

Also, tell them to come over, and ask your biologist to come over again. If you can, I suggest asking the city bureau for help and sending more relevant experts.

If possible, I would like to know in the shortest possible time the specific species and habits of the monkey and the python. Also, ask the villagers if there are any rumors of pythons or monkeys in the vicinity.

Oh yes, and there's a gathering of twenty-six people here, but at the moment...... Quite a few people have been separated. There is something wrong with this mountain, and there are other dangers if you don't do it, so try to gather people together. If necessary, ask for support from the fire brigade or even the armed police force. ”

Xun Mu was stunned for a moment, but glanced at the broken foot on the ground, and immediately reacted, and immediately nodded under the electric thought, took out the walkie-talkie and ordered the matter.

"Roger!" Lao Hai's voice came out of it, and at the same time said: "Team Su, the colleagues on this side of the brigade have asked the informant to take the dog into the mountain, the dog is quite clever, and he should be able to find out the ground where it turned out its broken hand." ”

"Okay, report it as soon as you find it. You inform the brigade and ask them to tune the walkie-talkie to the same frequency band as us, so that they can easily contact us. ”

"Understood!"

……

Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, an hour passed.

Of the twenty-six people, three are still missing and have not been found.

Xun Mu has already borrowed a lot of people from other brother units to look for in the mountains, this mountain forest is not very big, and it is not a nature reserve, plus there is the help of police dogs, so everyone was not too worried at first, but with the passage of time, everyone's hearts were raised little by little.

During this period, Yan Zhongxin also dissected the snake's belly and took out all the "things" in its stomach one by one.

Not to mention, there are really a lot of things in the snake's belly, there is still a broken foot, a broken hand, and a whole corpse, the corpse is inserted with a lot of iron arrows, not too long, about twenty centimeters, the arrow is completely submerged into the body surface of the corpse, and the arrow body is left with about fifteen centimeters.

Because the arrow has not been pulled out, the exact length is not easy to determine.

Previously, Su Ping saw that many bulges in the python's abdomen were formed by the tail of the arrow against the python's digestive tract.

And Su Ping can be regarded as an expert in this regard, after learning that the abdomen of the python was all opened and the contents of it were completely removed, he walked over, put on gloves and observed for a while, and said: "This is not an arrow, the arrow is not so short, it should be a crossbow."

And it's not an ordinary crossbow arrow, because of such a short crossbow arrow, the crossbow's string arm opening spacing is small, the firing power is quite weak, plus the arrow has no feathers, the balance is also a problem, the range is quite limited, it does not meet the needs of conventional crossbows, even if the crossbow is used for sports competitions, it will not be like this.

Therefore, it should be an unconventional crossbow, which is characterized by the pursuit of being small and portable and easy to hide, or a repeating crossbow, which occupies a considerable volume in order to fire continuously, and the crossbow arrow cannot be made long, otherwise the volume is too large, and it will also affect the operation of the mechanism.

Of course, it may also be a toy crossbow, but the toy crossbow should not have such a great power, and it will not use iron arrows, and although the iron arrows are eroded by the stomach juice of the snake, it can still be seen that the workmanship is good, and the production of crossbows is not particularly difficult in the current era, so it should not be a toy crossbow. ”

Yan Zhongxin snorted, stared at the corpse a few more times, and said: "Preliminary speculation, the victim is male, the age is not dissected, it is difficult to say, the visual inspection should be around thirty years old, at present, including the severed hand and foot, there is still a missing right hand has not been seen, and then look at the broken wound There is an obvious life reaction, it is obviously cut off before his death......

The fracture is not flat, looking at the shape of the wound, the murder weapon should be a single-edged thin machete, with a back but not thick, it may be a kitchen knife or something. And it can also be deduced that his left hand, right hand, left foot, and right foot were slashed four, five, nine, and seven respectively.

In addition, most of the injuries caused by the arrows on the body are life reactions, and it is speculated that they were all injured before death, and they were shot alive by crossbow arrows.

To put it simply, the murderer's modus operandi was extremely cruel, first cutting off the victim's hands and feet, and then shooting him alive with a crossbow arrow. Purely from the point of view of the modus operandi, I personally believe that the murderer may have a relatively extreme vindictive tendency, which may be a vendetta or a love killing. ”

Su Ping snorted.

At this time, he sounded on the walkie-talkie, and the responsible police of Pingbei Village reported, and finally the three people also found it, they went around the mountain in a big circle and ran to the next township, and also found the police from the township police station to drive to Pingbei Village to prepare to go up the mountain, and finally met them at the foot of the mountain.

After Su Ping replied that he knew, he sighed again and complained: "The coordination ability of the police stations in this county is not good." ”

"Come on," said Yan Zhongxin, "the police stations in a few districts of the city may not be much better." You also came out of the grassroots police station, can you not know? ”

"That was before, and it's been much better lately." Su Ping shrugged, and then asked, "Can you see the time of the killing?" ”
