Qi Zihuan looked at the puppet on the ground in a daze.

The puppet is about half a meter tall, with a big back comb, big eyes, a jaw that can move up and down, a red bow tie around the neck, and a slightly wide suit. It's the same as the little boy who stole his grandfather's military coat and old leather shoes when he was a child, and stood in front of the mirror.

Qi Zihuan has never been able to understand why the Western world has a soft spot for such highly anthropomorphic dolls, and every time he takes one and puts it in a dark corner, he can create a sense of immediacy in a horror movie.

Can't you buy a few more Fuwa for your child? Ugly is a little ugly, but it is said that collecting five has a chance to summon the ultimate doll Monkey Sailei.

Qi Zihuan is in a flat-story house, a typical American structure, with a large area, many rooms, and a front lawn lawn with flowers and grass. Now the yellow line of the guard has been pulled up at the door of the house, and the house is crowded with people, and there are noisy voices everywhere, but they are performing their duties, some people take pictures, some people inspect them, and they seem to be in order between the interspersed walks.

Everyone was wearing uniformly issued jackets by the police, with a police badge pinned to their left chest, and only a few who should be police detectives or higher-level bosses were qualified to wear trench coats and casual clothes to gather around the corpse for a closer look.

Qi Zihuan's partner or predecessor Edward is a drag boss...... Phew, one of the casual clothes bosses, he seems to be very disdainful of the young Asian rookie who is newly assigned to him as a partner, and he has ignored Qi Zihuan since the police station, and when he arrived at the scene, he did it on his own, and he had no intention of teaching the newcomer at all.

Qi Zihuan didn't care, he wandered around the room casually, and then he was attracted by the strange puppets on the ground.

He looked at the puppet's vivid eyes and suddenly understood the world he was in. This film should be "Dead Silence" carefully created by the original cast of Chainsaw and directed by the hot Chinese director in recent years.

The movie is about a puppeteer who can make puppets and knows ventriloquism. The story of Xiao using puppets to kill people after his tragic death.

The puppet on the ground is none other than Mary. Shaw's proud work.

Qi Zihuan squatted down to take a closer look, and found that the puppet was indeed quite exquisite, such as the eyes could be rotated, the joints in various parts of the body could be bent arbitrarily, and the chin could be opened and closed freely...... These details make this puppet more anthropomorphic and terrifying.

Turning over, the back of the puppet's neck is still engraved with its name - Billy in English flowers.

Qi Zihuan picked up the puppet and walked to the living room. On the coffee table in the living room was a wooden box in the shape of a small black coffin, lined with red silk cloth, just the right size for Billy to be placed in it. Beside the coffin box was a torn wrapper with the address of the house written on it, but the sender's address was blank.

Alas, so it's not wrong to say that Americans have a lot of nerves.

In Huaxia, if someone receives a coffin with a weird villain in it, they will definitely throw it as far as they can immediately, and they will invite a Zhong Kui statue to come home to the town house to eliminate the disaster.

Qi Zihuan used a knife to cut the red silk cloth on the lid of the coffin, revealing the pattern behind it.

It's a mid-twentieth century poster, with two simple portraits of people on either side, one of Billy the puppet and the other of a middle-aged woman with wrinkles, and in the middle of the poster is a simple slogan with a sense of design – stay tuned, Marie. Shaw and Billy's performance at Ravensfield.

Qi Zihuan was about to remove all the clothes on the puppet and learn the puppet skills of Western folk artists, when he suddenly heard a sound of footsteps, and the surrounding crowd turned sideways to dodge.

It was a young policewoman who was about the same age as him, and it was said that it was the first time to go out on the scene on a mission, and she was supposed to take pictures and collect evidence at the scene, but now she staggered out of the bedroom with her mouth covered, and ran to the backyard to vomit.

The others looked at each other and smiled, and they began to do their own things again.

"Who's that, Asian kid, you come in and help take pictures." Edward's broken gong voice came from the bedroom.

Qi Zihuan pursed his lips and walked over slowly.

Be careful to avoid the large pool of blood on the floor at the door of the bedroom, and when you enter the door, you will see a double bed, and the body of the hostess of the house is placed in the center of the bed, with several pillows behind her, so that she can sit on her upper body, staring at the door with wide eyes, just watching everyone who comes in.

The woman has short blond hair, a beautiful face, wearing silk pajamas, her jawbone should be dislocated, her chin is almost down to her chest, her open mouth is blurred with blood, and her tongue is gone.

Next to the bed was a white sheet with a red blood stain in the middle, which, according to the victim's husband, had been placed over the body.

Qi Zihuan picked up the camera and snapped to take pictures from various angles.

When the camera zoomed in on the corpse's mouth, he could see that the severed tongue was extremely rough, as if it had been pulled out alive.

……

Back at the police station, Qi Zihuan buried his head in sorting out the photos taken on the broken computer on his desk, and numbered them one by one in accordance with the principle of evidence archiving.

Not far away was Edward's table, where he was discussing the corpse with a tall female medical examiner.

"What were the results of the preliminary examination of the corpse?" Edward asked slurred as he ate on the bread.

The female forensic doctor silently brushed away the bread crumbs that had been sprayed on her clothes, and said: "The preliminary judgment is that the tongue was vigorously pulled off, causing excessive blood loss and death." But there's something strange about it. ”

"Oh? Where is it strange? Edward finally tilted his head and was still munching.

"There were no signs of resistance on the victim's body, and the sharp pain caused by having his tongue pulled out alive should have made people struggle desperately. At least if someone tried to turn my face into a Halloween lantern, I would definitely resist it. ”

Edward stopped chewing, thought for a moment and felt that he really couldn't explain it, before asking, "Could it be a drug addict?" What are the results of your blood tests? ”

"The preliminary test results showed no drug effect, but it will take forty-eight hours for the final test results to be available." The female forensic doctor shook her head and said.

"What about her husband? Have you checked it too? ”

"Well, we took blood from him, and the preliminary test results were the same as the victim." The female forensic doctor paused for a moment before she said her thoughts, "But I think that only people who overdose on drugs will kill their wives in such crazy ways." ”

After the female forensic doctor finished speaking, Edward pondered for a moment and walked to Qi Zihuan's side.

"Your name is Qi, right? I behaved well today, at least I didn't throw up, and now come with me to talk to that husband. Edward patted Qi Zihuan on the shoulder and expressed his approval.

Qi Zihuan got up to follow, took out a piece of paper, and wiped the bread crumbs and oil stains on his shoulder.

complained in my heart, if you are willing to pay attention to hygiene, I will tell you who the murderer is.
