Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Unfinished Sacrifice

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

The lights were on at the police station halfway up the mountain, Ye Zi was testing the bullets and ropes at the scene of the crime, Da Kui led two teams into the mountain to search for Lin Keren, Lin Fan was also busy doing an autopsy on Senzi in the hospital, and everyone was busy at their posts.

Zhang Tianyi turned off the light and sat in the conference room, looking out the window without saying a word, and he would come here to sit whenever the case encountered a bottleneck.

He lit a cigarette and didn't smoke it, letting the sparks flicker between his fingers. He recalled Moriko's death, hanged by a rope around his neck and on top of an electric fan.

The strange thing is that there is a white fox corpse in the ward, and there are traces of struggle, it seems that Senzi has fought with the white fox, as far as the current point of view is that the white fox was fired by Senzi, but the problem is that Senzi was shot in the end, and the conflict between the two is also something that Zhang Tianyi can't understand.

may have really verified his previous thoughts, someone is helping the white fox to commit crimes.

Who could that be? Could it be......

Zhang Tianyi snuffed out the cigarette butt and called Da Kui, who answered the phone and said, "Hey, boss." ”

"Da Kui, how did I do with the last time?" Zhang Tianyi assigned someone to be stationed in Sanli Coffin Town, obviously to investigate the White Fox curse, but also to spy on Yang Yong.

Da Kui thought for a while before he understood what Zhang Tianyi was referring to, so he said: "After you said it last time, I sent two newly graduated interns over, and the two of them just called me. ”

"What do they say?" Zhang Tianyi couldn't wait to ask. Da Kui seemed to be walking on the mountain road, panting and said, "They said that Yang Yong went to bed very early last night, and he didn't go out in the second half of the night. ”

"Hmm." Zhang Tianyi looked at the time and said to the phone: "The sky is about to dawn, you can come back now." ”

"Go back?" Da Kui subconsciously asked, "What should I do?" ”

Zhang Tianyi walked to the window, opened the window, looked at the opposite hill and said, "I know in my heart, but people will be fine for the time being." ”

Da Kui said yes and hung up the phone.

Zhang Tianyi then dialed Lin Fan again, and Lin Fan estimated that he was busy for a while before answering the phone.

"Lin Fan, do you remember when the blood moon first appeared?" Zhang Tianyi asked.

Lin Fan didn't expect Zhang Tianyi to ask this, put down the work in his hand and thought about it and said: "It should have been more than a month ago, and the first murder just happened, and we almost died in the hands of the white fox." ”

Zhang Tianyi thought for a while and said, "When was the last time you saw a blood moon?" ”

"Recent?" Lin Fan muttered and suddenly said, "A week ago, the day we went to the White Fox's Den!" ”

"Did you find anything?" Lin Fan asked. Zhang Tianyi said into the phone: "I think I already know where Keren is, but this is just a preliminary guess, and I will talk about it in detail when you come." ”

"Okay, I happen to have something new here." Lin Fan sold it. Zhang Tianyi then asked, "What discovery?" ”

Lin Fan on the other side of the phone said a little mysteriously: "I dissected Senzi's body and found that the blood in his body evaporated like Wang Xing'er before. ”

"Was it smoking?" Zhang Tianyi asked, but Senzi's death at that time was very normal, unlike Wang Xing'er's shriveled appearance at that time.

"It's not." Lin Fan seemed to be drinking water, then put down the cup and said, "I didn't find any traces of the white fox bite on him." ”

"What's going on?" Zhang Tianyi urged. Then I heard Lin Fan say: "Except for the obvious blood clot in the wound, there is no blood in his body, but one thing is very strange, I found a lot of water in his stomach, including arteries and large and small blood vessels, which are also full of water, as if the blood has turned into water inexplicably." ”

Zhang Tianyi didn't speak, Lin Fan continued: "Of course, I'm just making an analogy, the blood that originally circulated in his body has turned into water, I just tested it, and the water is ordinary tap water." ”

Zhang Tianyi was silent for a while and didn't speak, and Lin Fan called twice before he reacted and said, "Well, I know." ”

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Tianyi lit another cigarette, and this time he took a sharp puff and choked loudly.

The window gradually lit up, Zhang Tianyi didn't sleep this night, sitting alone in the conference room and smoking, the ashtray on the table was full of cigarette butts.

Zhang Tianyi washed his face and called Wu Shengnan and said, "Reporter Wu, I have something to do here temporarily, I'm sorry to trouble you to come over in person." ”

Wu Shengnan said after hearing this: "Got it." Then he hung up.

The address was given to Wu Shengnan by Zhang Tianyi last night, and he originally planned to pick her up today, but it turned out to be this matter again.

After hanging up the phone, he heard Lin Fan's voice outside, Zhang Tianyi opened the door and said, "Why did you come so early?" ”

Lin Fan smiled bitterly and said, "I want to come later, do you think I can still sleep in this case." ”

"By the way, last night you said you knew the whereabouts of the lovely man?" Lin Fan said that the clouds were light and light, but his heart had already been raised.

Zhang Tian nodded and said, "She should be in the White Fox's Den." ”

"White Fox's Den!" Lin Fan's voice suddenly became louder, and he got up and walked out!

Zhang Tianyi grabbed Lin Fan and said, "What are you going to do!" But there will be no danger for a while! ”

Lin Fan sat down dejectedly and said, "How do you know that the lovely person is in the White Fox Den?" Zhang Tian sat next to Lin Fan with a cigarette and said, "It's not clear for the time being, but it must be related to the last sacrifice." ”

"Are you saying that the white fox is going to complete the sacrifice that was not completed last time?!" Lin Fan suddenly thought of the last time Lin Keren was put on the stone altar as a sacrifice, if he hadn't rushed to Zhang Tianyi in time at that time, no one knew what would happen later.

Zhang Tian nodded and didn't speak, Lin Fanteng stood up and said, "Then what are you waiting for, hurry up and save the lovely person!" It's too late! ”

Zhang Tianyi threw the cigarette butt in the ashtray and said, "It's useless, that beast is so cunning that it can't make it easy for us to find a lovely person, we have to wait a little longer." ”

Lin Fan blushed and spat on the stars and said, "Wait! Can we wait, can we wait! ”

"Lin Fan, calm down!" Zhang Tianyi saw Lin Fan so out of shape for the first time, so he snapped the lighter and lit a cigarette and said: "The reason why they kidnapped Keren is to complete the sacrifice, and before the sacrifice is completed, Keren will be fine, the only thing we can do now is to wait for the blood moon to appear again, and then we will naturally be able to rescue Keren!" ”

After Zhang Tianyi said this, Lin Fan sat down, realized his previous gaffe and said, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have lost my temper with you." ”

"It's okay, I can understand your feelings." Zhang Tianyi didn't want to save Lin Keren, but the white fox was too cunning and rushed to go, so he was afraid that he would startle the snake, and only by making complete preparations could he ensure Lin Keren's safety.

Zhang Tianyi told Lin Fan about the benefits and the harm, and then said: "According to the order in which the blood moon appeared before, it is estimated that the blood moon will appear again in two days, if I am not mistaken, it should still be held in that place last time." This time, we not only have to rescue the lovely people, but also to wipe them out, because it is also a scourge for those beasts to kill too many people. ”

Lin Fan nodded in agreement with Zhang Tianyi's idea, and then said, "Then I'll go back and prepare first, and I'll go to the White Fox Den with you in two days." ”

"There's no rush for this, I'll arrange for Da Kui and them to do it." Zhang Tianyi asked Lin Fan to wait and then continued: "That reporter is also coming soon, you can pick it up with me." ”

The reason why Zhang Tianyi called Lin Fan was also because he was afraid that he would go to the White Fox Den alone on impulse, and Senzi's autopsy had not yet been understood, leaving Lin Fan to discuss countermeasures together.

Coincidentally, as soon as Zhang Tianyi and Lin Fan went out, they saw Wu Shengnan walking not far away.

Zhang Tianyi stepped forward and said, "I'm sorry, I can't help but have some facts here last night." ”

Wu Shengnan didn't seem to hear Zhang Tianyi's words, took the camera and took pictures of the surrounding scenery, and then said casually: "I'm not so hypocritical, but I'm quite curious about what happened last night." ”

Zhang Tianyi prevaricated: "It's not a big deal, just some petty theft cases that need me to stay and file." ”

"Oh?" Wu Shengnan clicked at the mountain not far away, and then said: "I'm afraid it's not that simple, just look at Zhang Suo's appearance, you know that you must have not slept all night." ”

Zhang Tian saw that Wu Shengnan guessed that he no longer covered it up at the moment, sighed and said: "Don't hide it, there was a murder last night, and the deceased was our police officer." ”

"The deceased was a policeman? This murderer is really bold, but I believe that Zhang Suo must have a way to catch the murderer. Although Wu Shengnan was a little surprised, it didn't seem to affect her mood, and she has been taking pictures since she came to the present.

"Don't make fun of me, come in and sit." Zhang Tianyi beckoned Wu Shengnan in.

The three of them came to the conference room and sat down, and Zhang Tianyi took the lead in asking: "We invited you to come mainly to go to the Tumen Incident, I wonder if the martial arts reporter is interested in talking about it?" ”

Wu Shengnan put the camera on the table and said half-jokingly: "It seems that the murder case is more important now, so let's talk about the case first." ”

After hearing this, Lin Fan handed Zhang Tianyi a look and asked if he wanted to say it, Zhang Tian nodded a little and said that it didn't matter.

After getting Zhang Tianyi's reply, Lin Fan took out a stack of photos from the material bag and put them on the table and said, "This is a photo from the scene of the crime, you can take a look at it first." ”

Last night's light was too dim and Moriko died suddenly, Zhang Tianyi didn't look at the scene carefully, and now looking at the photos, he found that Moriko was hanging from an electric fan with his hands tied behind his back, and his toes were about 30 centimeters above the ground.
