Chapter 3: Sacrifices

"The deceased, a graduate student of the Department of Biology at the University of Morihashiria, was twenty years old, his blood was drained and his eyes were gouged out.

The time of death was around 1 to 3 a.m., the weather was relatively cold, and the time estimation span was relatively large. ”

Hansen stated the information of the deceased at a glance, and everyone present looked around.

The place of death was a wasteland thirty kilometers away from the University of Morihashilia.

The deceased was drained of his blood and hung on a dead branch.

Zhao Yue'an looked at the empty tree trunk and pursed her lips.

"The five internal organs are no longer enough? Eye... Isn't it Mary..."

She muttered as she walked under the tree.

Turning to look at everyone present, everyone was observing the situation at the scene.

Apart from... Guan Li and Davidoff.

Guan Li is communicating with Hansen, while Davidoff is watching her.

Facing those blue eyes, her heart trembled.

That's not the look of a normal person.

Zhao Yue'an staggered his gaze and continued to observe around.

It wasn't until Guan Li walked up to her that she escaped David's gaze.

Hansen said the deceased had no scars on his body, except for the blood drained and his eyes gouged out.

And the deceased died peacefully, without any struggle at all. ”

"Is it caused by the ingredients of the drug?"

Guan Li shook his head, indicating that it was not clear.

"I don't think it's a case of imitation of Bloody Mary."

Zhao Yuean looked at the empty wasteland everywhere and said in a low voice.

"Because of the eyes?"

"Well, if it's a copy, it won't depart from the original method.

Now that I've gouged out my eyes, what's next..."

She looked at Guan Li worriedly, I was afraid that someone would be killed.

Guan Li told Han Sen about Zhao Yuean's inference, and asked him to strengthen the protection of women in the range of victims.

Zhao Yuean leaned against the trunk of the tree, his thoughts flying.

In addition to committing crimes in the Queen's Road area, the killer has also committed similar crimes in other states.

If it's not a copycat, is it an ogre?

Or rather...

She was thinking about it when she suddenly stepped on something.

She crouched down and reached through the hay to find something light brown.

She picked it up and sniffed it on the tip of her nose.

"Sandalwood?"

"An An, what are you doing?"

Guan Li saw her squatting on the ground, walked over to her and squatted down.

Zhao Yuean handed him the thing, and he took it suspiciously.

Suddenly, his brows furrowed, burning sandalwood in the place of the dead, which is obviously not the practice of the West.

It's more like... Sacrifices in Southeast Asia.

"Looks like we're going to have to go back to the library."

"Well, do you know anyone on this front?"

Zhao Yuean knows that his connections are limited, but Guan Li has achieved this position, and people from all over the world should know some.

"Let me ask!"

After speaking, Guan Li put away his things and left the scene with Zhao Yuean.

The two of them soaked in the library for four days before they found a trace.

"There are many sacrifices in China and Southeast Asia, and the sacrifices vary from country to country.

Most of the rituals in China originated from ethnic minorities and can be traced back thousands of years ago.

Sandalwood sacrifices are more used in Taoism, and it is possible in China, Dongyang, Myanmar and Thailand and other regions.

But..."

Guan Li muttered, still rummaging through the information about the sacrifice in his hand.

"Is it possible that it's a soul rejuvenation technique?"

Zhao Yue'an had a flash of inspiration, as if she had thought of something.

"Soul Healing? Does anyone really believe this nonsense? ”

Guan Li closed the information, looking a little helpless.

Zhao Yuean doesn't know very well, but she seems to have read a report somewhere.

Sealing the ashes of the deceased in the altar and dropping the five elements under the altar can lock the soul of the deceased.

Then find someone who is close to the age of the deceased, and the various organs on the body can be combined to make a sacrifice that can bring the dead back to life.

She didn't remember exactly what the process was, but this sacrifice was said to be a trick of the Oriental Onmyoji.

As soon as Zhao Yuean told the matter, Guan Li was also silent.

It was a long time before he spoke.

"Let's go to the previous five scenes again to see if we can find the missing clues, and maybe we can find the real crime scene."

The two hit it off and immediately called Hansen.

When the two came to the dormitory of Morihashi Lea University, they accidentally bumped into David and Sarina.

Seeing Guan Li, Selena smiled charmingly, completely ignoring that Zhao Yuean was still present.

"Mr. Guan, what a coincidence! Did you come to me? ”

Guan Li sighed secretly and glanced at Zhao Yuean next to him.

saw that she didn't react, and even wore disposable items as usual in dark colors and walked into the scene.

Seeing that Zhao Yuean didn't react, a trace of disdain flashed in Selena's foxy eyes.

She walked towards Guan Li, and someone was about to come over, but Guan Li avoided her.

"Don't be afraid, Mr. Guan, I won't eat you again. It's just that there are some case questions I want to ask you~"

"I don't have a clue to comment, Miss Selena might as well ask Mr. David."

Guan Li took two steps back with a cold face, bypassing her and walking towards Zhao Yuean.

The smile on Sarina's face could no longer be contained.

After living for so many years, no man has ever been able to refuse her.

She didn't believe that there would be righteous people and gentlemen in the world.

If you can't hook up in person, then just find a place where no one is.

Thinking of this, Selena regained her charming smile.

Zhao Yuean was too lazy to watch the old woman scratch her head and make a gesture, checked five dormitories in succession, and then paced back and forth in the corridor.

These five dormitories are so close that they are all rummed up and it is difficult to find new clues.

"Miss Zhao, do you have any new discoveries?"

Caught off guard, a voice suddenly appeared behind her, and a stream of air that made her cold hair stand on end blew past her ears.

She subconsciously turned around and saw Davidoff standing behind her, looking at her with an ambiguous smile.

She looked at him coldly, glanced at Selena who was watching the play, and suddenly understood the trick of the two people.

"No, please stay away from me, Mr. David, I'm not interested in a man with white skin like a woman."

After saying that, she turned around and walked towards Guan Li, who had just come out of the dormitory.

Selena looked at David mockingly, and said with a smile, "Tsk... She is really a sharp-toothed woman. ”

"Shut up! Stupid woman! ”

"What do you say? You've been scolded, so what's my anger? ”

Selena glared at him.

David ignored her, and just looked at Zhao Yue'an.

"What did you tell him? His smirkling face couldn't hold up. ”

Guan Li smiled playfully, pretending to help Zhao Yuean sort out his clothes.

"Nothing, just stating the facts."

"Well, let's get out of here and show you something good in a moment."

Zhao Yuean nodded quietly, it seemed that he had found something.

After leaving the girls' dormitory, the two walked down the sycamore boulevard.

Guan Li took out a few pieces of gravel from his pocket.

"These are the ones I found near the entrance to the dormitory, and there are no other dormitory entrances except for the five deceased's dormitories."
