Ma Jian was the only witness at the scene of the murder, and as a matter of course, he was taken to the public security organs for questioning and investigation. After examination, there were no fingerprints of Ma Jian on the murder weapon, and after some investigation, the suspicion of Ma Jian was discharged.

Ma Tan didn't mind much about this and fully cooperated, and he also knew that the public security organs were carrying out normal procedures. There are still many unverifiable aspects of his description of the scene. For example, the animal that didn't even know Ma Yan, such as Fang Jiaming's motive for committing the crime, and how the handwriting on the stone disappeared for no reason, and so on.

What happened at that time, Ma Tan preferred to believe that there was a supernatural event. But these things could not be said to the public security organs, so Ma Jian also had an extra heart at that time, and did not hand over the photo with the words on the stone to the public security organs.

Song Ping took the photo to the town to develop, and handed it to Fang Jiaming after he came back. After Song Ping was killed, Ma Jian found another one on Song Ping's body. He left this photo for himself, hoping to find out what it was in the future.

Due to Fang Jiaming's disappearance, and the police have not been able to find Fang Jiaming's whereabouts after many searches. As a result, the case has been hanging and has not been closed.

The three members of the archaeological team ended the expedition with two dead and one missing.

And when Ma Tan returned, the scene he saw that night haunted his mind, and he often had nightmares. He once asked a master of metaphysics to identify the text on the photo, and the man only said that it might be a kind of Yin script, but he didn't recognize it. also asked Ma Jian not to pursue it any further, this kind of yin text is for the dead to read, and the living can only invite unwarranted disasters when they read it. Whoever reads this inscription and recognizes it will die. Because of this, the Yin inscription on the stone disappeared after being recognized.

Ma Tan heeded the advice of the master of metaphysics, sandwiched the photo in a book, and put it aside. This incident gradually faded into his mind, and the nightmare that haunted him day and night was no more.

When Ma Tan said this, I said with some emotion: "Old Ma, I'm sorry, I reminded you of sad things again. ”

Ma Jian shook his head: "It's okay, in fact, those three people and I are just friends, and we have worked together a few times because of our work." I'm just a little sad, because the two of them died in an unknown way, and the missing one is also unknown in life and death. I also wanted to help them find out the facts, but I really didn't have enough to do it. When I saw the text you brought over today, I just thought it was a bit like the words on that photo, so I turned it out for you to see. Actually, I don't know Yin script either, and I don't know if these two scripts are the same one. ”

I nodded: "I'm also a layman, but I think these two characters are indeed very similar, maybe they are really Yin." By the way, what about the old horse, the kind of animal that magically appears and disappears magically? You don't know either, aren't you an expert in this area? ”

Ma Tan smiled and said, "I'm ashamed, I did see the whole picture of the animal at that time, but I must have never seen it

I don't know this animal ever before. And after I woke up, I completely forgot what the animal looked like. It was as if the animal had gone through my head and left no traces. So to this day, I don't know what kind of animal it is......"

After listening to Ma Yan, I was a little disappointed. If the words on the stone are really yin. Then the kind of animal that miraculously appears should have something to do with Yin Wen. Knowing the animal's provenance may provide a direct clue to the whole incident.

"But ......"

Suddenly, Ma Jian said again, as if things were still taking a turn for the better, and I hurriedly asked, "But what ......?"

Ma Yan hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Li Yang, you know me." I've always been a man who pays attention to evidence, and I won't count things that I make out of thin air. That kind of animal ......."

I immediately understood what Ma Tan meant, as a professor of biology, what comes out of his mouth must be carefully scrutinized and argued before he can say it. Therefore, Ma Tan has told me more than once that as long as it is something he believes in, it is basically accurate. As for the analysis and speculation of this animal, I believe that Ma Jian already has a plan, but he has not yet confirmed it.

I hurriedly said, "Old Ma, we are friends. I'm not a member of a state agency, let alone your school. If you know anything, just tell me a story, and I know it. You don't have to wait for things to settle down. ”

Ma Yan nodded: "Okay." I've been thinking about that animal for a long time, but I don't have the necessary conditions to prove it. So it's just a prototype in my head, and I'll tell you, and I'll give you a reference......"

"Yes, yes, don't be verbose, old horse, tell me everything you know."

I waved my hand and urged the old horse.

After so many years, Ma Jian should have a certain psychological tolerance for the events of that year, and his emotions are quite stable after saying so much. He said lightly: "I doubt it...... That animal is a kind of underworld beast......"

"Beasts? Miscellaneous...... What is a Pluto? I asked.

"The Hades Beast, as the name suggests, is a beast that lives in Hades. The so-called underworld is the underworld that your third uncle's gang often mention. Ma Tan explained.

"Hades? The Hades are a beast that lives in the underworld. Aren't we animals in the yang world becoming animals in the underworld when we die? ”

Ma Jian shook his head: "No, although I don't know as much as your third uncle, I know a little bit about metaphysics and yin and yang." When a person dies, he becomes a ghost in the underworld, but after an animal dies, he does not become an animal in the underworld. Unless there are very special circumstances, they will be reincarnated. Therefore, not all animals can survive in the underworld after death. Only one special animal will survive in the underworld, and that is the Hades Beast. ”

I waved my hand: "You're almost confused with me." And where did this beast come from? ”

"Have you seen some myths? There are Rui beasts in the Heavenly Palace, and there are Hades Beasts in the underworld. And this beast, I suspect now, is an extinct animal. It could also be a prehistoric animal. ”

"The Beast is a prehistoric animal? Extinct animals can be found in the underworld, so this is a big discovery, right? Old horse, are you reliable with this thing? ”
