The murderer is gone, leaving only ...... A corpse.

Suddenly, the corpse slowly crawled up, became a skeleton, and walked towards itself.

Xiao Ning swallowed a mouthful of saliva and prepared to escape.

As the skeleton pounced on itself, one turned and slammed into something hard in front of the door.

Originally...... It's just a dream.

He felt a weight pressing on his stomach, frowned slightly, and Yin Zetai pressed one leg on his body.

"Get out of the way." He snapped off the other's leg and got up from the couch.

Drinking too much and feeling dizzy.

He picked up the glass, and after a few sips of water, he found a piece of paper underneath the glass.

Eyes locked on one of the symbols on the paper......

Yin Zetai finally woke up, and he still hadn't eased up.

"Look what's up there." Xiao Ning handed him the blank paper, "The symbol on this." ”

Yin Zetai stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyes, and took the piece of paper, "Are you testing my IQ?" Isn't this a simplified symbol of the zodiac? Have you recently started working on the problem of horoscopes? ”

Xiao Ning looked at the door, and the door was wide open.

"Someone came last night." He finally knew that the woman was not a dream.

"What the hell is going on? You're not closed? Yin Zetai wrapped his clothes with his hands, "These people won't disrespect me when they see my beauty, right......?"

"Shut up." Xiao Ning frowned, and the woman said in her own mouth that she was about to become the next one.

Saying that his sister's mission has been completed, is it...... The so-called mastermind behind the scenes is just a minion under the big boss?

He shuddered, his fists clenched.

This serial murder case is a greeting gift.

Zodiac Signs...... What does it have to do with this case?

As soon as it was dawn, the two set off from their apartment to the police station.

Sure enough, the eighth case occurred.

Police cars appear on campus, cutting through the silence.

A yellow cordon surrounded the school's 100-year-old tree, and the body was dumped on top of the soil in which it was cultivated.

The smell of rust spread in the air, and Xiao Ning arrived at the scene of the crime, just like in his dream last night.

He walked straight under the ancient tree and looked at the constellation.

After searching in the car, the constellations and simplified diagrams were preliminarily corresponded. If nothing else, this should be...... Gemini.

Xiao Ning reached out and touched the sign, cutting the surface of the tree with a sharp object, leaving a fresh mark.

"Immediately go to the scene of the previous crime to see if there are any similar markings." Xiao Ning wore gloves and commanded the people behind him.

Sure enough, in the previous seven cases, different constellation simplifications were really found in some corners.

Xiao Ning looked at the photos they took back and compared them one by one.

The twelve zodiac signs, without repetition at all, have removed eight zodiac signs, leaving four.

Li Ke came back and reported, "The deceased is also a graduate student, male, 24 years old, 181 tall, 72 kilograms in weight. ”

"The school has asked for a holiday, why are there still students at school?" Xiao Ning questioned.

"This student is said to have been kept by his tutor for a project, so he will stay at school and plan to go back tomorrow." Li Ke looked at the corpse and was miserable.

A sharp weapon pierced the trachea, which should have died of excessive blood loss. At a height of about a meter above the tree, traces of blood splattered appeared.

Li Ke moved his gaze back, "I have just gone to the tutor of this graduate student to understand the situation, and this male teacher said that he regretted it. ”

"Hmm." Xiao Ning touched the blood on the ground, and it seemed to be warm, "Zhang Yu, can you determine the time of death?" ”

Zhang Yu had been fiddling with the corpse, and there was no scar on his body except for the wound on his neck.

"According to the blood clotting situation, it can be preliminarily inferred that the time of death was between 12 and 2 o'clock last night, and there are still no signs of fighting...... What happened. ”

Xiao Ning stood up, his gaze suddenly a little distant, "There are two possibilities, the first is that the two sides have a huge disparity in strength, and the deceased has been subdued before they resist. The second relationship is extraordinary, allowing the murderer to take advantage of it. ”

"Which one do you think it should be?" Li Ke asked.

Yin Zetai had just sobered up and raised his eyebrows slightly, "Of course it's the second type." The deceased was originally 1.8 meters tall, so could the murderer be two meters tall? ”

"It's not impossible." Xiao Ning suddenly objected, and he attracted everyone's attention.

A short meeting was held in the conference room.

Xiao Ning hooked the corners of his lips and put them in his chest, "Now immediately check all the graduate students in the school, investigate their identity information clearly, and also investigate the reason for being on campus." ”

"Just a graduate student?" Li Ke looked at the list in his hand, there were more than 3,000 graduate students and 1,200 men.

"It is possible to continue to narrow it down, graduate students in school, males, and belong to: Aries, Gemini, Leo, Libra." Xiao Ning spit out the four constellations one by one.

After speaking, he turned on the electronic screen, Xiao Ning pointed to the photos that appeared at the scene, "Every time the crime scene is located, there will be a mark representing the constellation, except for the four constellations I just mentioned, the remaining eight constellations have representatives of the victim." ”

The people sitting in the audience began to flip through the documents, pointing at the month of the deceased, and browsing them one by one.

Li Ke patted his thigh, and his eyes showed a hint of joy, "That's really the case." ”

The murderer kills according to the constellation, but the first eight constellations are in no order.

However, it is still narrowed down to some extent.

"So now, it's possible that all four of these zodiac signs of boys will be killed? One person per zodiac sign? What the hell does this murderer think? Xu Xingteng sounded a little numb, "I'm a Gemini." ”

"It's such a coincidence, and so am I." Yin Zetai reached out and held the other party's hand.

The conversation suddenly changed and began to discuss the issue of constellations.

Xiao Ning stood on the stage and did not get angry when others were distracted.

Xu Xingteng asked without dying, "Xiao Ning, what zodiac sign are you?" ”

There was no answer, and the atmosphere suddenly became quiet. Xu Xingteng realized that he was plucking the feathers on the tiger's head and pursed his mouth, "When I didn't say it." ”

"I'm a Leo." Xiao Ning said lightly, "So everyone at the scene may become the murderer's next target." Because our constellations are included in these four constellations. ”

This is undoubtedly a wake-up call for everyone.

"So what should we do next? Just protecting them is not the way to go. Li Ke sat down, his brows furrowed, "Now we know who we need to protect, but this is still a problem. ”

Let alone...... Is this inference really correct?

Eventually, the police department contacted the school and brought together all four zodiac signs for the day. Since the deceased are all men, the women are temporarily removed from the scope of protection.

Most of the students have gone home and are on leave for a long time.

There are only about 100 graduate students in the school, and there are still 13 people left after selection.

These 13 people fully meet the screening criteria for murderers in terms of education, gender, and constellation.
