In the air
After Thomas finished talking to Riseley, he turned back to Affie Miller and said, "Let's go, I don't want to wait for more people to come here." ”
Thomas said as he ran towards the gate, and Affi Miller spread his wings and made a perfect arc into Thomas's shadow, Thomas got into the nearest car and drove to rush out of the gate.
Thomas, why did you agree to work with Lilith, she's a fickle demon.
Afie Miller, you must know that the enemy of our enemy is our friend, and we also happen to use the power of the devil to accomplish what we need to do, as long as we deal with it carefully, we should not have the handle to fall into the hands of others, let alone we can't beat her.
I still don't believe she can really help you.
No, Afie Miller, it's not about helping me, it's about us using each other, we help her defeat Lucifer, she helps us find the twelve artifacts we need to find, and finally, let's see who kicks the other out first.
They burst out of the gate and sparked the area, making the whole area bright and dangerous, and on the way they got into Resley's car and drove in the direction they came, where Thomas settled in and told Resley what he had just experienced.
"You mean, you ran into Lilith, one of the first human beings?" Resry let out an incredulous exclamation.
"Yes, the ancestors of women."
Resley gave Thomas an angry look, then fell silent, gripping the steering wheel and looking intently ahead.
"Come on, Resley, I'm just kidding......" Thomas apologized to Riseley for what had just happened.
"No, I don't care what you just said, I'm curious about the book that Lilith said the demons were looking for, what the hell is that book that makes the demons so excited."
"What? Do you know? ”
"How is that possible, do you remember the piece of paper that Eddie gave you? There's a book in there too, right? ”
After being reminded by Resley, Thomas also remembered that there was a "Book of Creation" on that piece of paper.
"Yes, I remember, Thomas took out his phone and flipped through the photo album, looked at the photos on his phone, and looked closely." After looking at it for a while, he muttered: "It may also be a thing, even if it is not, it can't be found by the demons, what they want to get, it is generally not to do good deeds, if it is, we also have to prove whether the book on the paper and the 'Book of Creation' in Lilith's mouth are not a thing." ”
"I think I should discuss this matter with Eddie and see what he suggests, in case I can find out something."

In a small restaurant in the small town of Mabur, in the morning Andy and Terry each have a cup of steaming coffee in front of them, Andy stares at the scene reflected in the black silk liquid, the scene of last night is still vivid, tragic and weird This kind of scene is the first case since he joined the police, the local police have an ambiguous attitude, they hope that the case can be controlled in their hands, but the resources are relatively limited, they are wary of other outsiders.
When they arrived at the town at night, they could see a dazzling light in the distance on the road, and the eyes of the two people who were pierced by such a dazzling light couldn't open their eyes, and when they arrived at the scene, there were already policemen, firefighters, doctors and forensic doctors, and they showed their identities and did not enter the scene of the murder, the sheriff in charge of the case refused their request to enter the scene, Andy and Terry could only watch everything bloody from afar, the stumps on the road, there were traces of blood everywhere, and they were stunned by the sight in front of them, and Terry vomited directlyThe town's police cordoned off the scene, and the residents evacuated overnight in fear of the surrounding residents, and the police closed the entire street.
Everything at the scene was eerie, ominous and terrifying, and the answers to private inquiries about the surrounding residents were the same, many of them fainted or took a nap because they were very sleepy at the time, and even more so in the street surveillance, and the display was either snowflakes or damaged images.
There were no witnesses, no suspects, no murder weapons and no murder scenes, so everything was blank, and Andy's instincts told him everything to find that Thomas. Barrico is able to figure it out, but Thomas disappears like a ghost out of nowhere.
"We'll have to try our luck at the town forensic doctor." Andy looked up at Terry, he still had a sallow face, his bile had been vomited, he regretted it when he said it, and now Terry's state would make him vomit, Andy shook his head helplessly.
After breakfast, Andy and Terry went to the town police station first, and found the sheriff who was mainly responsible for the scene that day, but got another reply from the sheriff, there has never been such a big thing in the town, there is no advanced forensic equipment at all, and they can only cooperate with the forensic doctor of the big police station to conduct an autopsy, and you have already taken all the evidence away when you are late, including the car.
"Who took all the evidence?"
"Guys from the military, at 4 o'clock in the morning." The sheriff said helplessly.
"What?" Andy simply believed in his ears. "This case has nothing to do with the military, and there is no evidence of a relationship between them, at least for now."
"I don't know, we still want them to explain it to me, it's just for nothing, and they didn't say a word." The sheriff said helplessly, and turned around to pick up a clip and handed it to Andy.
"What is this?"
"The documents handed over, the photocopies, they even took the originals, these sons of bitches raised them."
Andy looked at the documents, page by page, frowning and shaking his head, feeling very incredible, and then handed it to the sheriff, he rubbed his chin again, pondering the whole story, he leaned over to the sheriff.
"I said that we are all police, and what I want to tell you is that this has a close relationship with the suspect in my case, and I can say with certainty that the suspect in my case must have been present at the scene this time, and the military people intervened halfway, which was completely the act of robbers, and don't you think it's strange? What happened last night, within a few hours the military intervened, they must have known about it beforehand, and they moved faster than the local police could react, don't you think it's strange? ”
The policeman looked at Andy with the eyes of the city, he leaned back in his seat and pondered his words, he had to admit that Andy was right, they were very tired yesterday, and yesterday morning they received an anonymous call from someone named Thomas. Barrico's murderer appeared in the town, and he was already annoyed by the fact that he had been hit twice in the air, and then the worst massacre in the town's history took place at night, making what was already strange even more bizarre.
"I understand your feelings, Officer Andy, what can we do? This matter has already been said above, let's leave it alone if the military takes over, and there is nothing I can do? The sheriff said to Andy helplessly, he didn't know what Andy wanted from him, he put his hands behind his head.
"I want to know, the forensic records of the scene, I need to show them." Andy looked at the sheriff, and the sheriff looked at Andy seriously, "I have to fight for my own rights, Thomas's case itself is mine, I can't give up my hard work to those bastards like this, if it were you, you wouldn't, right?" ”
"Wait, Officer Addy, from the evidence so far, there is no evidence that Thomas has anything to do with the night case......"
"Of course it matters, the murderer named Thomas is a retired soldier himself, I'm sure the military is purging those who have worked hard for the country, they are afraid of political scandals leaking, and are taking the opportunity to kill people, my duty is to protect those innocent people, I used to be a soldier, I dedicated my life to the interests of the country, but in the end my life was swayed by those who engaged in politics, do you think we should stand idly by? And I saw the wreckage of the M84 stun bomb at the scene, which is a common thing in the military......" Andy was impassioned, so that the sheriff also felt that this was the case.
The sheriff stared at Andy for a moment, smiled admiringly, and said, "Okay...... I agree with you......" The policeman pulled a note from his desk, "You know, we don't have a professional forensic lab here, but we have a forensic doctor with decent experience. The sheriff said as he pulled out a piece of paper, picked up a pen, and wrote something. You can try your luck here, the military has taken everything anyway, unless he can keep a preliminary set of on-site investigation reports, then it's up to your luck. ”
Andy took the note handed over, saluted the sheriff and thanked him and turned around to leave here, Terry at the door leaned on the front of the car, watching Andy walk out worriedly, looking at the expression was not optimistic, before Terry stepped forward to ask, Andy took the initiative to say to him: "Someone else preempted it, they took everything away, by the military, we have to try our luck in this place now." Andy shook the note in his hand, and Terry was first startled and then comforted to see that the incident had taken a small turn.
"Why did the sheriff agree to help you?"
"No one wants their things to be snatched away by others......"
It was easy for them to know where the medical examiner was, as the sheriff said, the old forensic doctor did keep a backup data for himself, Andy told him that the sheriff asked him to come to him for some clues about the murder scene last night, the old forensic doctor called the sheriff to confirm, he connected the mobile hard drive to the computer, he and the medical examiner looked at the photos, the photos of the scene had bullet casings, flash shrapnel, scratches on the car, lacerations on limbs, bullet holes, guns, tattoos on the human body, and piles of powder and so on.
Andy asks the medical examiner, "Excuse me ...... you"
"Call me Ainias, don't look at me like that, my grandfather was Greek, my father immigrated, I used to work as a forensic doctor, and now I'm retired anyway, I'm okay, come here to help, didn't the sheriff tell you?" Ainias introduced himself in a few words, and he was also reminding Andy that although the equipment here is not good, there is an experienced forensic doctor standing here.
"Of course, he said that you are very experienced, we just want to see what happened last night and do not want to cause you too much trouble, I would like to know the clues of these photos, Dr. Ainias, please do you have any insight into what happened last night." Andy complimented the old medical examiner as much as he could, hoping to get more clues with more respect.
Ainias also looked at the sloppy but polite policeman in front of him, he shrugged his shoulders and shook his head, indicating that he didn't understand very much, "Weird." In the end, he only held back these two words.
"Huh? Is that all? Can you elaborate on that? ”
"First of all...... "Do you see the marks on the edge of this corpse?" he said as he slid the mouse wheel to flip through a photograph? It's not a knife, a saw, or a ...... Or produced by metal sharp objects, the edges are not so flat, and the skin is not suddenly hit and shows an expansive crack, but more like an irregular tear after an animal bites......" He pointed to the edge of another photo of his legs and said: "Look at this photo, this is an obvious bite mark, the flesh is in the shape of a lower col, torn off hard, the traces of the closure of the teeth are very deep, if you look more closely, it is here......" He called up another photo and enlarged it, pointed to the computer screen with a pen and said: "Look, The guy's teeth are sharp, with tube-like marks, the fangs tear the flesh off after closing, the edges of the wound are irregular, and the skin has signs of tearing upwards, I guess the guy's teeth are long and sharp. ”
"What kind of animal do you think it is?"
"I don't know. At first, I thought it was like this, what animal can have such a strong attack power, I thought it was impossible, at least there were hundreds of bullet casings on the ground, and no animal race had such a strong attack power and number against 4 heavily armed warriors, but this is still secondary......"
"I don't understand ......"
"It's even weirder to be with ......, let's put it this way, most of these people are dismembered......"
"What? What do you mean? This sentence hit Andy like a bombshell, which made him a little confused.
"Well, you see that some blood stains are basically scattered on the ground, just like rain, indicating that the blood is spilled from the air, and some of the blood stains left after the corpse falls to the ground are the corpses splashed on the ground after they hit the ground, and the farther the blood stains are splashed after falling from a high place, a lot of blood stains are not angled, straight up and down, if it is thrown out, there will be some angles, in order to deal with my speculation, I have checked the bones of those people's legs, and found signs of fractures and bone cracks."
"You mean......" Andy was going to ask the end, but Ainias didn't want to say anything more, he wanted to end their meeting.
