The sky was dark, and the woods looked cold and secluded, with steep vines.

It's a vacant land on the outskirts of the city, overgrown with trees and weeds, and a lot of old garbage is piled up, and it is inaccessible.

Jian Yao and Bo Jinyan parked the car on a dirt road, got out of the car and walked over.

There were police everywhere, the floor of the forest was all cut over, and there were several deep pits. As soon as Jian Yao looked up, she saw two policemen standing in one of the pits, bending down to lift a huge black plastic bag. On the other side, there are several such plastic bags. The policemen were opening the inventory one by one, and everyone's solemn expressions showed unbearability.

Jian Yao felt uncomfortable for a while and retracted her gaze.

At this time, Li Xunran ran over from the front. Jun's face was cold and resolute, and his speech was full of cold white gas: "It's roughly eight people, divided into many pieces." The most recent death was preliminarily determined to be a week ago, because the temperature has been low recently, and it is relatively well preserved. All other deaths took more than a few months, and the earliest should have been more than a year. ”

Bo Jinyan didn't have any expression on his face, and walked forward quickly with him.

Jian Yao stopped: "I'm not going to go." ”

Both men looked back at her at the same time.

Li Xunran saw her slightly pale face and nodded: "You go to the car first." ”

"Hmm." Jian Yao looked at Bo Jin Yan, his hands were in his coat pockets, he stood straight, and he looked taller and taller. He looked at her fixedly, and a hint of clarity suddenly flashed in his eyes: "Scared? ”

Jian Yao replied softly: "I don't want to see it." ”

Bo Jinyan was silent for a few seconds, and said lightly: "This is the time when you are most like a little woman." ”

Li Xunran was slightly stunned, and Jian Yao was also stunned. But experience told her that there would definitely be no good words in the future. Sure enough, I heard him continue in a warm voice: "What a tragedy. ”

Jian Yao glanced at him: "I don't look at it anyway." He turned around and walked away.

Bo Jinyan also turned around and walked towards the body bag with a calm expression. Li Xunran looked at the way the two got along, a little surprised, glanced at her back, and turned his head to keep up with Bo Jinyan.

——

As the sky gets brighter, people's vision becomes clearer.

Bo Jin Yan squatted on the ground, wearing gloves and rummaging through the contents of the bag. Li Xunran squatted beside him.

These were very neatly cut pieces of corpses, neatly cut and intact skin, seven in all, including limbs and torso. The other dead were roughly cut to this number.

Li Xunran said as he gestured with his hand on the corpse: "According to the preliminary results of the forensic examination: the cause of death is suffocation. There are bruises on the neck, which are caused by strangulation with a nylon rope that is commonly found on the market. The murderer used some kind of sharp weapon to dissect the body, and it is not yet possible to determine which kind of sharp weapon it was. Other than that, the body suffered little to no other damage. ”

Another policeman next to him asked: "Professor Bo, you said yesterday that the murderer's inner demands will be reflected on the corpse." What is his appeal now? ”

Bo Jinyan held up a piece and looked at it, and replied slowly: "There was no sexual assault, no abuse and torture before and after death, no bloodletting, no poisoning, and no organ taken away...... The murderer did only one thing - to kill and dismember. ”

Li Xunran looked at the corpse and frowned. As Mr. Bo said, he had always thought that teenagers might be sexually assaulted and abused before they were killed. I didn't expect this to happen, so I killed it directly.

The other policeman hesitated and asked, "You mean, he kidnapped those teenagers with the aim of killing them - killing people for the sake of killing, does he want to take revenge on society?" ”

Bo Jinyan turned his head and smiled at him: "A real psychopath doesn't care about society at all, so how can he take revenge on society?" They kill out of inner need, not self-defeating. ”

The policeman was stunned, and Li Xunran also raised his thick eyebrows and looked at him.

Bo Jinyan stood up and looked at the direction of the farmers' market not far away, with a pale and arrogant expression: "Since he doesn't play any other tricks, he saves trouble." His labeling behavior, inner appeals, and fantasies can only be hidden in the process of killing and dismembering the bodies—how he dismembered the victims, with which tools, in what order, and in what specific ways...... Get this out and things will be simple. ”

——

Jian Yao waited in the car for a while, but she didn't see Bo Jinyan come back. It was dawn before a young policeman ran over: "Miss Jane, Professor Bo has already left in the car just now, let you go back and wait for him." ”

Jian Yao was a little strange: "Where did he go?" ”

The policeman replied: "They said they were going to get something, but they didn't tell us where to go." ”

——

At twelve o'clock in the morning, Jian Yao was woken up by a strange noise outside.

She put a coat over her pajamas, put on her slippers and walked out.

The voice didn't come from Bo Jinyan's bedroom, but from a room at the end of the corridor that she hadn't entered yet, "Bang-click-click-" I don't know what I'm doing.

knocked on the door, and Bo Jinyan's voice came from inside: "Come in." ”

As soon as I opened the door, I smelled blood. Jian Yao paused for a moment.

The lights in the house are very bright and the rooms are very large. At first glance, the walls and ceilings are bare, and there is nothing.

The most striking is Bo Jinyan. He wore a snow-white one-piece medical gown, a mask and a hat of the same color, and only a pair of slender black eyes were exposed all over his body. It looks like someone who has just come out of "Resident Evil", cold and eerie.

Next to him was a rectangular metal platform, on which lay a naked~ man, motionless. And behind him, there were five or six more such platforms, full of people.

Bo Jinyan raised his eyes to look at her: "I thought you would sleep until I solved the case and woke up." Changed clothes and came over to help. ”

This time, Jian Yao didn't fight back, but leaned her back against the door and didn't move.

Now she could see that the man on the stage was pale and had corpse spots all over his skin—he was a dead man.

"What are you doing?" Jian Yao asked.

Bo Jinyan moved a half-human-high push cabinet next to him to the side of the corpse. There were several bottles of wide-mouthed guillotines on the chest. He replied unhurriedly: "Corpses, human simulation models, computer simulations...... Each is experimented with to find the right tools, processes, and methods for the killer to dismember the victim. ”

Only then did Jian Yao notice that the "people" on the back tables had a somewhat different complexion and the same appearance—they were dummies. There are also several notebooks against the wall.

But that's oozing enough. Jian Yao still didn't go over, and asked, "Isn't there a forensic doctor in the bureau?" Why do we do our own experiments? ”

Bo Jinyan lowered his head to look at the blade, his eyebrows were focused, and his voice was indifferent: "Oh, because when your forensic doctor applies for a fresh corpse, and then buys a high-fidelity model—our murderer must have a few new friends." ”

Jian Yao: "...... So where did you get all this? ”

"It's called Fu Ziyu." He walked around to the other side of the corpse and turned to look at her, "Come and hold on to the knife." ”

Jian Yao looked at him for a few seconds and replied, "I'm sorry, I can't." I can call a police officer for you. ”

She turned around and wanted to leave, when she heard Bo Jinyan's deep voice coming from behind: "Investigating a homicide without looking at the corpse is equivalent to walking to the truth but closing your eyes." ”

Jian Yao looked at the ground, was silent for a moment, and took a few steps forward.

As soon as he opened the door, he was heard saying again, "He may still be alive." ”

Jian Yao's heart shook slightly, and she turned to look at him: "He? ”

"Hmm."

Jian Yao understood that this "he" was talking about the last missing person, the son of the security guard Lao Xiao. The latest body died a week ago, and Xiao Xiao disappeared just four days ago.

Jian Yao asked softly, "Do you think you can save him back?" ”

Bo Jinyan was still staring at the guillotine, and replied without raising his head: "I'm saving." ”

——

Jian Yao left this "morgue", returned to the bedroom and lay down for a while, then got up again. Looking out the window at the deep night, she was stunned. Finally, I took a deep breath, washed my face, and resolutely walked back again.

The room was still the same, and Bo Jinyan raised his eyes to look at her, and there was a shallow smile in his beautiful eyes—as if he expected her to come back.

Jian Yao put on the "biochemical suit", walked to him, held the guillotine according to his previous request, glanced at the corpse, and immediately withdrew his gaze.

Bo Jin said: "Hold on, I'll start." ”

Seeing the blade falling rapidly, Jian Yao immediately closed her eyes. Hearing the sound of "snort", she seemed to be able to imagine what kind of picture should be in front of her.

Bo Jin Yan's cool voice came from the other side, and it seemed to have a hint of a smile: "What are you afraid of?" He wouldn't move. ”

Jian Yao closed her eyes even tighter: "Bo Jin Yan!" Can you just tell me what needs to be done and not say anything else? ”

——

By almost three o'clock, the "experiment" was all done.

Bo Jinyan said it would take a few hours to observe the body's condition. At the same time, it is necessary to wait for the results of computer simulations before making final conclusions.

Jian Yao immediately took off her miserable clothes and went back to her room to take a shower.

When I returned to bed after washing, the whole room was quiet. She couldn't sleep at all, staring at the gray ceiling, and some images that could not be avoided in her mind would automatically come to mind.

There was a chill in the back, and everything in the room looked a little eerie under the lamp. She's always been bold, but tonight's experience was unprecedented.

After a moment of silence, she got up, pulled the door open and looked out, and her heart was relieved—the door to the studio where the whiteboards and materials were placed was open, and the lights were on.

Jian Yao walked in and saw Bo Jinyan holding a cup of coffee, a plate of salmon fillets in front of him, and reading a book. Seeing her, Bo Jinyan only glanced at her and continued to read.

Jian Yao sat down on the sofa next to him and looked for a book to read.

I don't know how long it took, but I suddenly heard him get up. Jian Yao looked up and saw him walking in front of him indifferently with a handsome face.

"Good night." He said.

Jian Yao: "Good night." ”

After he closed the door and entered the room, Jian Yao got up and returned to the room. I feel much better though. After tossing and turning in bed for a while, I was about to fall asleep in a daze, when I suddenly heard a knock on the door.

She ran over and opened the door, but saw that the door was empty, and the door of Bo Jinyan's room was also closed. I was suddenly a little apprehensive in my heart, and I was just about to close the door, when I suddenly caught a glimpse of something black and dark on the ground—"Silence" was crawling in little by little.

——

When Jian Yao woke up again, the sky was already bright, and the soft sunlight was shining all over the floor.

"Silence" lay quietly in a patch of sunlight, his head and limbs sticking out of his shell, his eyes were dark, and he looked like he was in a daze.

Jian Yao got out of bed, squatted down in front of it, looked at each other for a while, touched its shell, and it immediately retracted again. Jian Yao got up and opened the door, and saw that the door of the "morgue" had been opened, and a figure could be faintly seen inside.

Jian Yao finished washing and dressing and walked to the "morgue". As soon as she subconsciously turned around, she saw that "Silence" had moved out of her room and was slowly crawling back to Bo Jinyan's room.

——

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Bo Jinyan wearing a straight black suit, standing in front of the window with his back to her. And the platform where the real corpse was placed yesterday was empty, and I don't know where he transferred it. This made Jian Yao feel more relaxed.

Bo Jinyan turned to look at her. The sun shone on his short black hair and fair face at the same time, as if a faint halo was flowing. And the most striking thing is his eyes, with a shallow smile, like a lake glowing in the sun.

Being watched by him like this, Jian Yao's heart trembled slightly, and her mood seemed to improve.

"Thank you turtle."

Bo Jinyan's smile was even brighter, but it was not a topic at all with her:

"He fantasizes about being a killing machine."

Jian Yao was stunned, and saw him turn sideways, putting his hands in his trouser pockets, revealing the things on the table behind him.

It was a modified "guillotine". The fuselage is dark and straight, with three identical long and wide blades, mounted in the same row of slots, and the blades are soaked in the cold light of the sun. As soon as Bo Jin Yan raised his hand, he pressed down one of the handles next to him - three guillotines fell at the same time!

Jian Yao's heart jumped, but Bo Jinyan's expression was more gentle and pleasant.

"According to last night's experimental data...... he took off his gloves and threw them aside, looking up at her, "the wound caused by a blade of this thickness and material is the closest to a corpse. Moreover, it is the three knives that fall at the same time to match the blood freezing and zombie of the corpse. You know, one person can't wield three of these knives at the same time. ”

Jian Yao: "What do you mean?" ”

"I mean – the killer has the same killing machine in his house. His goal in abducting his victims is to make them fall victim to the killing machine. Of course, the one at his house should not be as good as the one I made overnight. His expression was arrogant again.

Perhaps infected by his tone, Jian Yao's heartbeat also began to accelerate, and she faintly felt nervous and excited. She stared at the blade, groaned slightly, and said, "The transportation of large knives in China is regulated, and they cannot be purchased online, nor can they be boarded on long-distance buses and trains. There should be only a limited number of places in the city where you can buy this kind of blade, and there are not many people who buy it, so you might be able to find his traces! ”

Instead, Bo Jinyan sat down, picked up a cup of coffee next to the killing machine, took a sip in an elegant manner, looked at her and said, "The brain is not particularly slow...... With our murderer's level of intelligence, a lot of blades must have been wasted to make a machine that barely rivals mine.

Let them know that they can get to work, and I'll give them a more detailed and accurate portrait. If you're lucky, you'll be able to get the last child back. ”
