Tang Tao got up very early the next day, the temperature difference between day and night in Pingle in October was very large, and it was a little cold in the morning wearing long sleeves, and the autumn was strong, and it was estimated that it would snow for a while. I was tossed enough last night, Zhao Guangyi was still in the detention center for obstructing official business, and the fool was brought back.

As soon as Tang Tao walked out of the door, the fool hurriedly ran in with a basket, and he handed the basket to Tang Tao with a smile on his face, and Tang Tao found that the basket contained a lot of miscellaneous things.

Fruits of different sizes, black and moldy steamed buns, steamed buns

The fool grabbed the contents of the basket and stuffed it into Tang Tao's hand.

"You, you eat, it's delicious."

Tang Tao was amused, he didn't expect a fool to please him, but these things were dirty, and he really couldn't say anything, so he had to refuse.

"You eat, I don't eat."

The fool seemed to misunderstand Tang Tao's meaning, and he took out a piece of meat from the basket and stuffed it to Tang Tao.

Tang Tao immediately smelled a strong rancid smell, and when he saw the things in his hand, his face changed.

It was actually half a paw, which was already rotten and stinky, and the carrion on the soles of the feet had obvious traces of biting, and a few paw prints attracted Tang Tao's attention.

"Meat, give you meat." The fool rubbed his clothes and looked at Tang Tao expectantly.

"Where did you find it?" Tang Tao hurriedly asked.

"Under the big tree, these are taken under the tree." The fool shook the basket and giggled again.

Tang Tao hurriedly called Professor Lei and a few people out, and the big guy was also stunned when he saw this paw.

"Isn't that familiar?" Tang Tao asked.

"I remember, this is the claw mark of the golden eagle, I have seen it in the Qingzhou bloody hand case, it is on Bai Feifei's palm." Sophie said.

Professor Lei shook his head and said: "It may not be a golden eagle, it may also be a vulture, they like to eat carrion the most, and it should have been a while judging from the degree of decay, the skin of this foot is very rough, the shoe size is about forty-two yards, the deceased should be a man, at least over fifty years old, this is not the key, the key is that this is half a foot, the murderer divided this foot in two in the direction of the calf, and this is the first half of what we see." ”

Everyone's eyes were focused on the soles of their feet, and the wound was very neat, although it had begun to rot, it could still be seen that it had been cut by someone.

"This can't be the remains of the corpse of Case One, right?" Zhang Zhang said.

Not to mention, whether it is time or age, it can be matched.

Everyone has seen the autopsy report of Case No. 1 sent by Han Li, and the victim is between 60 and 65 years old, suffering from severe ventilation, and even said that he can no longer walk normally.

"That's right, it's him." Professor Lei said with certainty: "Han Li said that the victim suffered from severe ventilation, and the back joints will be swollen and deformed when ventilation is reached, and the phalanges of this foot are much larger than ordinary people, which is obviously caused by ventilation." ”

The fool led the group to the place where he found the body, on the hill opposite the dump.

The crime occurred under a pine tree on the top of the hill, this pine tree is tall and stout, the canopy almost covers the sky, it is the largest tree in the vicinity, the tree is covered with red silk and hada, and under the tree there is an incense burner with cement bricks, the furnace is filled with incense candles that have not been burned, and there is a desk in front of the incense burner, on which are also placed some worship fruits.

It can be seen that this tree has an extraordinary place in the hearts of the locals.

Ask nearby residents to find out that this tree is called a sacred tree by the locals, and incense burns throughout the year.

Professor Lei circled around the tree a few times, and finally stopped on the platform in front of the tree, nodding in satisfaction.

At the bottom of the hill are large bungalows, with lush forests in the distance, rolling mountains in the distance, and a few eagles soaring in the sky not far away in the morning light, which attracts everyone present.

Professor Lei couldn't help but sigh a little.

"Dapeng rises with the wind one day, soaring up to 90,000 miles, I haven't seen this situation for many years, the eagle is an ecological indicator of a place, Qingzhou used to have eagles, but the modern urban process has driven the eagles out of their territory, this is our human dereliction of duty, do you know why the locals regard this tree as a sacred tree?"

"Because it is the largest tree in the vicinity, people in many places have the practice of worshipping ancient trees, believing that ancient trees have souls and are sacred trees." Sophie said.

Professor Lei shook his head and said: "No, it's because of the eagle, the eagle is a proud animal, in the northwest they have extraordinary significance, in the hearts of many peoples, the eagle is a symbol of the gods, they symbolize flying, symbolizing freedom, the phoenix perches on the sycamore, the eagle falls on the pine, because this tree often has eagles perched on it, so they regard it as a sacred tree, so they will often come to worship, in fact, the reason why the eagles settle in this place is only because this tree is the largest tree in the vicinity, which is convenient for them to eat, However, human beings will also bring all kinds of meat in the process of worship, such as pig's head roast chicken, which also makes them habitual, the calf and the half of the foot are taken by them, the fool finds that someone is offering food, so he will come and steal the sacrifice, the eagle was frightened by him and dropped the food, do you know why they are flying around in the sky at this time? That is, when we leave, I think there has been a lot of progress on Case No. 1, I don't know what you think? ”

As soon as the big guys heard this, they all became interested, and this is everyone's favorite on-site assessment link, Professor Lei will often give you questions to test everyone in the process of handling cases, and whoever says something wrong will be treated.

"I'll come first." Sophie preemptively said: "The eagle will not run to a crowded place to forage, if it can find the corpse, then it means that the corpse must be in a relatively remote place, which excludes the urban area, and it is very likely to be in the suburbs, but the foraging range of birds of prey is very large, and we are afraid that it will be difficult for us to investigate this case,"

"What Sophie said was that I finally understood why no one called the police, because the place where the crime happened was not in the city at all, but in the suburbs, or even farther away." Zhang Zhang said.

Professor Lei nodded and said approvingly: "What you said is right and not right, the reason why no one called the police is that the victim's family does not know about this matter, or even that he has no family at all, do you have anything else to add?" ”

Tang Tao thought for a while and said: "The corpse, the No. 1 case was committed on October 5, the body was very fresh at that time, the victim should have been killed on October 4, and now it is October 12th, a full eight days have passed since the incident, and the eagle can still find the body after eight days, which means that the corpse is in the open air, and no one has found it so far, if it is so badly decomposed in the urban area, it will definitely be found, they are right, the corpse may really be in a very remote place." ”

"Okay, you're all right, so I asked Lao Wen to send someone to a nearby village and town to investigate last night, and I invited you to this meal tonight."
