After Zhang Fanyang inspected the inside and outside of the house, it was already an hour later.

When he saw Captain Tan squatting on the corridor with a helpless expression, he knew that he had also found nothing.

"I've seen it inside and out, and there are no Buddha statues or alien breaths here, and there are no signs of rune paper circles or anything like that. I'm really out of options. ”

After listening to Zhang Fanyang's "report", Captain Tan said helplessly: "Now it seems that there is no other way than waiting for the results of the test, right?" …… Ay? No, can't we just summon a soul? Wouldn't it be okay to summon Meng Lao's soul and ask about the situation? ”

Hearing this, Zhang Fanyang shook his head and nodded again: "I have also thought about this path before, but because Meng Lao has been dead for more than a week, and the seven-day soul return night has passed, I am afraid that the success rate of soul conjuring is not high now." Try it anyway, though. ”

At half past twelve in the morning, Gu Tan and Zhang sat in Captain Tan's office and looked at the sky. The blank expressions on the three of them showed that tonight's plan to conjure spirits had failed.

Director Gu's fingers tapped lightly on a bag on the desk until there was a knock on the office door.

"Gu Ju, the test results you want are out, it's just ......"

A police officer in a white coat sent a report to Director Gu's hand, but after sending it out, he looked at Captain Tan with a look of wanting to speak and stopping.

"If you have any questions, just say it. Don't worry. ”

After receiving Captain Tan's instructions, the white coat officer took a deep breath before speaking: "That's right, we did extract the residue of human skin tissue on the plastic wrap, but the DNA sample of that tissue not only did not match the two comparison data provided to us by Gu Ju. And...... And...... Based on the methylation of this sample, we analyzed the age of the owner...... I'm afraid it's a thousand years old......"

"Thousands of years old? Are you sure your analysis is reliable? ”

The white coat officer glanced at Captain Tan aggrievedly and said, "This method of calculating age from DNA methylation is still in the experimental research stage all over the world, and it has not really been used in forensic science.

We just think that there are too few clues now, so we want to try this method, who knows that there is an average error of 3 to 6 years in the usual experiment, but this time it is ......"

Hearing this, Director Gu nodded and said to the white coat officer: "Xiao Liu, you don't have to be pressured, since the whole world is still in the experimental stage, it proves that this plan is not perfect, and it is normal to have errors."

You have done a good job now, and if you continue to maintain this spirit of scientific research, you will not be bad. ”

After the officer in the white coat was affirmed by the director, his originally tightly knit brows stretched, and he immediately went back to work in high spirits.

As soon as he left, Zhang Fanyang immediately came to the director's side, borrowed the report, and saw the three zeros behind the five written in the age estimation, no wonder that Forensic Doctor Liu doubted his life.

"Who do you think this Wu Moxuan is? A person who has been a criminal policeman, the file information is only a simple resume and resignation letter, and the past experiences of those family members have not been written and no one has checked them, and now they can't find it. I don't know how the people who organize the archives do their work! ”

Seeing that Director Gu was so angry that he slapped the table, Captain Tan helplessly persuaded: "Bureau Gu, it happened forty years ago, and it's useless for you to be angry." Let's think of something else. ”

"What else can be done about this? Now I can't see anyone alive, I can't see a corpse when I die, I can't even be sure of my appearance, and I don't know what to follow if I want to send a notice to assist in the investigation. ”

After Director Gu said this, the room fell silent again.

Ten minutes later, Director Gu sighed and said, "Forget it, you two go back to rest first, this matter is so evil, it will be unclear for a while." Let's take it one step at a time. ”

After Zhang Fanyang, who was amnestied, returned to the hotel, he kept recalling the details of the past two days, and finally decided that the person who talked to him that night must be the murderer.

It's just that he didn't understand why the murderer was guarding Meng Xianzhang's body for a week, let alone how that Wu Moxuan disappeared.

And what kind of stranger was the killer of Meng Xianzhang, and whether there was any connection between Wu Moxuan and the murderer, these two questions have always troubled Zhang Fanyang, and he fell asleep in a daze until he was woken up by a phone ringing.

When Zhang Fanyang arrived at the criminal police team, Captain Tan was waiting for him in the morgue of the forensic center.

And as soon as he saw the corpse on the stage that was the same as Meng Xianzhang's death, Zhang Fanyang's heart sank: It seems that the murderer has done it again.

For the next two weeks, every two or three days, one such deceased person appeared, and although the officials tried their best to explain, the serial murder case still completely occupied the market by two versions of ghost stories: zombies and vampires.

For a while, the whole city was panicked, and at night it was like a ghost town, and few people dared to walk on the streets.

And Zhang Fanyang, who originally trusted his ability very much, has suffered the biggest blow in history in the past two weeks.

First of all, he went to Wang Muyu for help, but learned that although the old man of the gray fairy was not in serious trouble after being seriously injured last time, his mana was damaged, and he did not see any guests in temporary retreat.

Later, from the bizarre way of death of those people and the continuous failure of the conjuring rituals, it can be seen that this matter must be within his jurisdiction, but no abnormal clues can be found in any way.

Under the frequent occurrence of these successive cases, although Gu Ju and Captain Tan didn't say anything, they could see from the eyes of everyone in the criminal police team who looked at him that everyone was disappointed in him, which made him feel uneasy to eat in the cafeteria.

This situation lasted until the second day of the third week, when Captain Tan pushed open the office door with a pair of bloodshot eyes on his head and shouted "There is a clue", Zhang Fanyang seemed to see the dazzling holy light emanating from behind him.

This is a surveillance video of an alley in the middle of the night, in which a young woman in a red dress walked out of a small alley slowly, and stood at the alley for a while before choosing a direction and leaving slowly.

Captain Tan pointed to the video and said: "There was no surveillance near the scene of the previous murder, and this time this was purchased and installed by a merchant next to it because it was stolen from the store a few days ago."

From this video, it can be seen that the woman came out of the alley not long after the victim entered the alley. And until the next day, when the body was found, no one else had entered from this side. ”
