The atmosphere in the institute was very depressing, everyone was working with their heads down, Ye Zi was busy in the laboratory in a white coat and a mask, Zhang Tianyi walked over and knocked on the glass window.

Ye Zi walked out, closed the door, nodded, and said, "Boss." ”

Zhang Tianyi stepped forward and asked, "How is the comparison result?" ”

Ye Zi handed a stack of materials to Zhang Tianyi, took off the mask and said, "I compared the DNA in the database and found that this amputated arm is the lost limb of the deceased before. ”

"The missing limbs of the deceased before? No wonder the wound of the broken arm looks so familiar......" Zhang Tianyi touched his chin and muttered to himself, then raised his head and said, "Da Kui, how did their salvage results be?" ”

Ye Zi shook his head and said, "So far, I haven't found anything. ”

Zhang Tianyi lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking, then raised his head and said to Ye Zi: "You will apply to the city bureau for joint investigation later, this series of cases is quite related, and it is better to combine cases and investigate them one by one than to find a breakthrough point one by one." ”

"Okay." Ye Zi nodded and went to work.

At this time, Lin Fan answered the phone and came back and said, "Tianyi, that reporter has arrived." ”

Lin Fan asked with some hesitation, "Do you want me to pick her up at the airport?" ”

Zhang Tianyi tapped his index finger on the table, then stopped and said, "Go, let's go together." Zhang Tianyi was afraid that Lin Fan would not be able to take care of him alone, so he got into the car with him.

It's not that Zhang Tianyi is suspicious, if you think about it carefully, even the history professor can't tell the ancient and mysterious tribe of Tumen, but how can she, a little-known reporter, know so much? And this tribe is secretive, not to mention the solemn and solemn ritual of sacrifice, how can it be so easy for her to capture photos of the sacrifice?

Ping'an Town is far away from the city, and Lin Fan hit the viaduct with his turn signal. The car was speeding on the viaduct, and when he crossed the reservoir, Zhang Tianyi couldn't help but take a few more looks, and the water surface was calm and peaceful.

Zhang Tianyi thought of Yang Yong again, and there must be something wrong with his sneaky appearance this morning.

Zhang Tianyi touched his chin and found himself in a dead end, if Yang Yong was the murderer, then what was his motive for committing the crime? It is impossible for him not to know that his identity is conspicuous, and the police also have a lot of information about him, if he commits a crime against the wind, it will definitely be exposed, and it is impossible for a thoughtful old fox like him to put himself in a dangerous situation, not to mention that there is a paralyzed daughter at home, which is even more unreasonable.

Zhang Tianyi shook his head and tried not to think about it anymore. In any case, even if the person was not killed by Yang Yong, it has nothing to do with him, and in Zhang Tianyi's heart, he is still the number one suspect.

"One?" Zhang Tianyi handed Lin Fan a cigarette, and Lin Fan waved his hand and said, "What about driving." You should also smoke less, the last time I dissected Wang Youcai's corpse, the entire lung was like a layer of black paint. After Lin Fan finished speaking, he pretended to shiver.

Zhang Tianyi smiled and scolded and suddenly froze in place, the lit cigarette flickered between his fingers, and the cigarette ash fell on his shoes without noticing.

Lin Fan glanced at Zhang Tianyi on the steering wheel and said with a smile: "Scared? ”

Zhang Tianyi didn't say anything, and didn't throw away the cigarette butt until his fingers were burned, and turned his head to ask Lin Fan: "Lin Fan, do you remember how the deceased in the first case died?" ”

Now out of Ping'an Town, there is a toll station in front, Lin Fan shifts gears and slows down behind other cars and says: "You mean Wang Fugui and Wang Xing'er?" ”

"Yes." Zhang Tianyi folded his arms together, tilted the chair and lay down and said: "Wang Fugui's death is weird, we have checked and found nothing suspicious. And Wang Xinger died on the balcony, do you remember what the crime scene looked like at that time? ”

Lin Fan drove to the toll booth in turn and said: "Wang Xing'er's death was tragic, with many injuries on her body, and the scene of the crime was also a mess. I still remember that a row of flower pots on the balcony was broken, probably broken during the dispute between the deceased and the murderer, and the deceased's body, including the entire balcony, was littered with dirt. ”

"That's right, do you remember where the second crime scene was?" Zhang Tianyi asked mysteriously. After Lin Fan paid the toll, he slowly increased his speed and said, "Next to the reservoir in the town." ”

Zhang Tian nodded and then asked: "What factory is the location of the third crime?" Lin Fan thought for a while and replied: "It seems to be a lumber mill, I still remember that in addition to the smell of the white fox, it is the smell of rotten wood emitted by the moisture of the wood, and it seems to be raining lightly that day." ”

Speaking of this, Lin Fan's face gradually changed, and his eyes froze for a moment, and then he said: "Soil, reservoir, wood...... This ......"

Zhang Tianyi opened the car window and his ears were full of hula wind, he wrapped his clothes, then closed the window and said: "When you dissected Wang Youcai's body, you found that his lungs were pitch black, and it can be seen that he smokes all year round, and smoking needs to be lit by fire, so he represents the fire ......."

"Five elements?" Lin Fan subconsciously spoke, but Zhang Tian nodded and did not speak.

The deceased Wang Xing'er in the first case represents the soil, the second case is close to the reservoir so it represents water, and the third case is located in the timber mill and also represents wood, and although Wang Youcai's death is not directly related to fire, smoking and having fire is also indirectly related, that is, it represents fire.

Gold, wood, water, fire and earth, the five elements have already gathered four, and there is still the last gold missing. If Lin Keren is the last gold, then the murderer's modus operandi or the location of the crime can be inferred.

Thinking of this, Tianyi called Moriko and asked how Keren's condition was, and Senzi said that Keren has slowly recovered now, and it is estimated that it will not be long before he can go to work normally.

Zhang Tianyi said to Senzi: "In the past few days, pay attention to the medical personnel entering and leaving the ward, and find any suspicious characters who are directly brought back to the station for interrogation. ”

If Lin Keren is the last gold, then the murderer is likely to choose a metal murder weapon such as a controlled knife to commit the crime, or will choose the location of the crime near the ore vein.

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Tianyi still felt a little throbbing in his heart, and called the office again in order to ensure that nothing went wrong. It was Da Kui who answered the phone, he had already returned, and the result was not far from what Zhang Tianyi guessed, and the salvage team searched the town's regional reservoir and found no other limbs.

"Boss." Da Kui screamed, and Zhang Tianyi knew that there was nothing to gain, so he casually asked about the situation. Da Kui then said: "Then will you continue to salvage tomorrow?" ”

Zhang Tianyi thought for a while and said to the phone: "The salvage work will be put aside for the time being, these days plus the patrol and security check in the town, if necessary, you can let the town community security assist you in your work, if you find anything, notify me as soon as possible, you can shoot under special circumstances, but remember, don't act alone." ”

"Understood." Da Kui replied. Zhang Tianyi continued: "Especially the night patrol, my eyelids are all watched by me, the hospital and the backing place focus on the investigation, and send two more groups of people to assist Senzi, be sure to ensure that the people return to the team completely!" ”

Da Kui smiled wryly on the phone and said, "Boss, our staffing may be insufficient, why don't you communicate with Bureau Li and ask him to transfer some manpower?" ”

Zhang Tian was stunned for a moment after hearing this, he really didn't consider the personnel problem. At present, the biggest problem is that there is not enough manpower, and it is impossible to do it by relying on the people in the office alone. Or explain the situation to the city bureau as Da Kui said, and transfer personnel over?

Zhang Tianyi shook his head, there has been no substantial progress in the case so far, and it is not a suicide to talk to Li Yude's old boy about conditions now.

Zhang Tianyi made up his mind and said into the phone: "There are not enough manpower to transfer all the policemen on duty back to me, it is really impossible to notify the traffic police assistant police in the town, and the fire brigade will also call me, and any property security guards will inform us to temporarily assist us in handling the case, I don't believe that so many people can't catch a murderer!" ”

After speaking, Zhang Tianyi hung up the phone and leaned on the seat, and Lin Fan drove the car without speaking. After dealing with the murderer for so long, Zhang Tianyi believes that he will never give up, if Lin Keren is the last gold, then the murderer is likely to commit the crime against the wind, and Lin Keren is relatively easy to get in the hospital now.

Zhang Tianyi had thought about using Lin Keren's last gold identity to lure out the murderer before, but he just thought about it and didn't say it, it is estimated that Lin Fan would be the first to disagree when he said it, and of course Zhang Tianyi would not let Lin Keren be this bait. The murderer's tragedy is clear to him, but if something really happens, let alone Lin Fan, even Zhang Tianyi himself will not forgive himself.

However, Keren is more dangerous now, but fortunately, Zhang Tianyi reacted in time to let Da Kui strengthen his manpower. Zhang Tianyi is still haunted by Wang Youcai's death last time, and since then he has also learned to think about problems from another angle.

Zhang Tianyi thought of Yang Yong again, hesitated for a moment and called Da Kui again. Da Kui hadn't just hung up the phone, Zhang Tianyi called his mobile phone again, so he asked, "Boss, what's wrong?" ”

Zhang Tianyi frowned tightly and said: "You send a few clever colleagues to Sanli Coffin Town, remember to go in civilian clothes and don't wear uniforms, it's best to stay in the town, and pay more attention to a carpenter in the east of the town, his name is Yang Yong." ”

After Da Kui came down, Zhang Tianyi lay on the seat and covered his face with a hat. The sky outside the window is getting dark, the street lights are lit on both sides of the highway, the neon lights are shining, and the lights of thousands of homes are shining, everything is so peaceful.

Beneath the peace is abstract squalor.

There is no sea in Ping'an Town, only a reservoir that never speaks. The reservoir never speaks, and the fish in the water can't find a home. The fish has no home, but they jump to the end of the world, you ask where the end of the world is, and listen to the whispers that people say.

They said, "Shhh There is no end to this world.
