The Ping'an Town Police Station is on the mountainside of a mountain, and Zhang Tianyi was also a little puzzled when he first came, and he had never seen a police station anywhere that would be built on a barren mountain. When I first came, I heard the seniors say that this mountain is haunted, and every night I will hear the footsteps on the mountain road, and the footsteps say that it is a person and it does not look like a person, and if I listen carefully, there seem to be more than a dozen people stepping on it, walking neatly, and from time to time there are slogans of drills, a bit like a well-trained army in the privates. It is rumored that the army that died unjustly in this mountain during the Anti-Japanese War failed to repel the enemy, so it did not turn a blind eye, and even if it died, it was training and fighting.

Zhang Tianyi has always laughed at these ghosts and monsters, and since he took over here for a few years, he has been on duty countless times, and he has never heard the so-called footsteps and slogans.

After Zhang Tianyi returned to the police station, he called a meeting with everyone, and everyone sat in the office to introduce the information they had gathered.

Ye Zi glued the photo of the deceased to the magnetic plate and said: "The two deceased are in a relationship, both are from the town next door, the man is called Wang Fugui, and the woman is called Wang Xing'er." According to the landlord of the rental house, the young couple moved in half a year ago, and they have a harmonious relationship, and they have done their duty on weekdays, and they have never had any enmity or disputes with others, so we can rule out vendettas. We have also investigated the scene of the crime, the door lock of the room is intact, there is no sign of being picked, some valuables in the room are not missing, the necklace around the neck of the female deceased and the ring on the ring finger are still there, and it does not look like it is murder for money. ”

"Could it be an acquaintance?"

Da Kui asked, if it was an acquaintance who committed the crime, the door lock could make sense.

Zhang Tianyi waved his hand and said: "No, the landlord said that the deceased moved here half a year ago, and there are no social activities except for work on weekdays, so there should be no good people in our town, and it is unlikely that acquaintances will commit crimes." ”

Zhang Tianyi looked at Lin Keren and asked, "Keren, what did the informant say?" ”

Lin Keren replied: "The informants are all locals in the town, and the bun shop was opened more than 20 years ago. According to the husband and wife, there was nothing unusual the night before the crime, and when they were about to start trading this morning, they suddenly found blood dripping on the buns upstairs, and when they looked up, they found the female deceased's bare hands on the balcony. ”

Moriko continued: "I visited the residents of the nearby residential buildings with several colleagues, and they all said that there was nothing unusual the night before the incident, and the husband and wife of the bun shop were also the first witnesses. ”

Zhang Tianyi crossed his hands and pondered: "Da Kui, has the monitoring been called out?" ”

Da Kui stood up and said: "Boss, the night before the incident, because of the rain, the cable near the residential building was struck by lightning and the monitoring equipment was short-circuited. ”

Zhang Tianyi sighed and said: "There are many suspicious points in this murder case, and the case is complex and has an extremely bad impact. Let's get here today, cheer me up tomorrow, don't let go of any clues, and we must bring the murderer to justice! ”

"Yes!"

After answering, everyone departed.

Zhang Tianyi was lying on a chair analyzing the case, and was interrupted by a knock outside the door after a while.

"I was about to go to you." Zhang Tianyi then asked, "How is it?" Is the autopsy out? ”

Lin Fan motioned for Zhang Tianyi to sit down and said slowly: "The autopsy results are out, we dissected the body of the male deceased and found no traces of internal organ corrosion, so poisoning is ruled out, and there are no other wounds on the male deceased's body, and the real cause of death is that he was cut off by someone." ”

Zhang Tianyi frowned, and cut off his head with a knife, it doesn't make sense? The neck is connected to the major artery, not to mention that the blood gushes like a spring, and there should be a lot of blood stains, but there is not even a drop of blood at the scene of the crime, and no traces of cleaning up the scene have been found after investigation.

Zhang Tianyi frowned and asked, "A knife to cut off the head, what murder weapon is so sharp?" ”

Lin Fan lifted his glasses and said: "This is also what I don't understand, the neck is connected to the spine, even if the executioner cut off the head in ancient times, he may not be able to get up and fall with a knife." ”

"What about the female deceased?" Zhang Tianyi felt that the case was slowly detached from the trajectory of his reasoning.

Lin Fan took out some photos from the folder and said: "The female deceased has many wounds, but most of them are skin injuries, and the real fatal wounds are the two holes in the major artery in her neck. And after our autopsy, the female deceased's body did not have any water, and the internal organs shrunk into a ball, which means that all the blood in her body has evaporated, or ......"

Lin Fan looked at Zhang Tianyi with some hesitation.

Zhang Tianyi motioned for Lin Fan to continue.

Lin Fan nodded and said, "Preliminary judgment, the blood in the female deceased's body seems to have been sucked dry by some kind of creature......

Zhang Tianyi pointed to the wound in the photo and asked, "That means that the female deceased was bitten to death?" ”

Zhang Tianyi also felt that this matter was a bit ridiculous, but the scratches on the female deceased's body, the wounds on her neck, and the blood that evaporated and disappeared all confirmed Lin Fan's speculation.

"Has anyone in the town ever seen a jackal, a tiger or a leopard in the surrounding mountains?"

Zhang Tianyi was a little unsure, who knew if the animals in the mountains and forests would run down the mountain.

Lin Fan shook his head and said: "Before liberation, someone saw a South China tiger on this mountain, but it was transported to the provincial zoo as soon as it was discovered. ”

Zhang Tianyi looked carefully at the wound in the photo, and couldn't help but wonder, what animal's teeth can be as thick as a human finger?

"Is the autopsy sure it was bitten to death?"

Zhang Tian confirmed again and again.

Lin Fan nodded and shook his head: "The wound is conical, about six centimeters deep, and the flesh tissue fibers around the wound are still fresh and not infected. I carefully compared the teeth of various domestic felines, and the wounds were very consistent, and the only thing that didn't make sense was that the wound was relatively large, a bit like a larger version of the feline, but the specific ones could not be determined until the DNA comparison results came down. ”

Zhang Tianyi had no clue, as if he had grasped something, but he couldn't connect them, and his head was in chaos.

Lin Fan continued: "According to the autopsy report and the corpse spots on the corpse, the two deceased should have died at the same time, and the specific time of death should be between 3 and 5 o'clock yesterday morning. ”

Zhang Tianyi lowered his head and thought, if he died at the same time, then there would be more than one suspect, and it seemed that there were at least two or more. However, what is their motive for committing the crime?

After thinking about it, he didn't have a clue, Zhang Tianyi shook his head and prepared to start with the family of the deceased tomorrow.

Zhang Tianyi and Lin Fan left the police station, and the day after tomorrow was almost dawn, and the two of them were going home to make up for sleep. When Zhang Tianyi took the car keys, he suddenly felt something from his pocket, took it out and looked at it, and found that it was a wooden plate that he picked up at the scene of the crime yesterday morning.

Zhang Tianyi took a closer look, and he always felt that the pattern carved on the wooden plaque seemed to be seen somewhere before, and Lin Fan had also said before that the depiction on it should be some kind of animal.

Mysterious bite marks! Sucked dry blood! Unknown species! Zhang Tian didn't have time to think about it, so he called Lin Fan, who was about to go back, spread his legs and turned back to the police station.

Zhang Tianyi returned to the police station and asked Lin Fan for a magnifying glass, and meticulously observed the wooden sign back and forth at the lamp.

The wooden sign is pitch black, I don't know what material it is, it is very hard to hold but very light, and there is a faint refreshing fragrance.

Lin Fan looked at the wooden sign and said, "This should be the totem that a certain tribe or race believes in. ”

Zhang Tianyi rubbed the wooden card, because the wooden card was pitch black, so it was not easy to distinguish what species was depicted on it. However, it can be vaguely seen to be the head of an animal, although it is not depicted by dye, the sunken eye sockets are as deep as two whirlpools, the two ears are straight and pointed, and the two sharp teeth in the mouth are also particularly prominent.

Zhang Tianyi was a little distracted, and suddenly slapped the table and shouted!

I've seen the pattern on the wooden sign myself!

Lin Fan asked him what was wrong, and Zhang Tianyi waved his hand to indicate that it was okay. At this time, the sky outside the door was also bright, and it seemed that this sleep could not be made up. So Zhang Tianyi called Lin Keren and asked him to bring two breakfasts by the way when he came.

Zhang Tianyi stretched his waist and went out to start moving his muscles and bones, he was used to living a quiet life on weekdays, and his body was really a little uncomfortable with a little big movement.

Lin Keren soon arrived at the police station, and then Da Kui and others also arrived one after another.

Lin Keren handed the breakfast to Zhang Tianyi and asked, "Boss, you won't sleep all night in the office, right?" ”

Before I saw Morikoto, I heard him laugh outside the door: "What? Do you feel sorry for your lover's brother? ”

Lin Keren was a little speechless for a while, and she only felt that her cheeks were gradually hot.

"Oops, we're blushing!"

Senzi squeezed his eyebrows at Zhang Tianyi as he walked.

Zhang Tianyi stuffed the fritters into Senzi's mouth and said, "I can't stop your mouth if you eat." ”

After breakfast, Zhang Tianyi had a brief meeting, probably to talk about the progress of the case and the analysis with Lin Fan last night.

Zhang Tianyi turned his head and asked, "Yezi, which town is the deceased from next door?" ”

Ye Zi replied: "According to the information, the household registration of the two deceased is in Sanli Coffin Town. ”

"Three Miles Coffin Town? What a strange name. ”

Lin Fan was also left by Zhang Tianyi, and when he heard Ye Zi say this, he was extremely puzzled by this name.

In fact, not only Lin Fan, but everyone else was also more or less puzzled. Although Zhang Tianyi and the others are not natives of Ping'an Town, they have been assigned here for several years, and they have never heard the name of Sanli Coffin Town.

Ye Zi nodded and said, "That's right, when I first saw the name of this town, I thought that the identity information of the deceased was not true, so I specially visited some elderly residents of the town. ”
