The rooster is often the most energetic, and the people in the town are busy before dawn.

The steamed bun shop is full of fragrance, the bar and nightclub have just closed, but it is only July and August when the weather is getting cold, and some elderly people who have been exercising in the morning are playing Tai Chi in the park.

The owner of the steamed bun shop beckoned the mother-in-law to act numbly, and he earned his hard-earned money at this point in the early morning a day. The boss skillfully rolls out the stuffing, and the proprietress puts the wrapped buns into the steamer and stacks them on the table at the door to attract customers.

After a while, the proprietress suddenly stopped moving, her body froze in place, and her voice trembled, "Master, come over quickly......"

The boss muttered and scolded: "What's the matter, there is no flesh in the filling!" ”

The boss leaned in and gasped, there was a pool of blood on the steamer with buns outside the door, the blood stains had not yet coagulated, and they were soaked in it along the gap in the steamer, and the buns inside were dyed red.

The boss only felt a faint chill in his back, and a cold air drilled from the top of his head to the soles of his feet, and he looked up, and the blood fell on his face like raindrops......

Ping'an Town is a small town in the southern region, from ancient times it is a suitable place for the people to live and work in peace and contentment, here is known as the land of fish and rice, rich in mineral resources, from ancient times to the present has been praised by people, there is a feeling of paradise.

The town is not big, the neighbors are very familiar, and it is far away from the world, so the crime rate is extremely low, which is one of the reasons why Zhang Tianyi, a stunned young man in his twenties who has just graduated for a few years, became the director of the town's police station.

After graduating from the police academy, Zhang Tianyi was assigned to Ping'an Town as a small policeman, not only is the town small, but even the police station is very small, and it is not as large as the average residential area. However, Zhang Tianyi is enjoying it, it is far away from the city, the pace is very slow, he gets up early in the morning to run, and then returns to the office to deal with housekeeping, and goes to the town to patrol in the afternoon, and the day is also fulfilling.

However, at this time, Zhang Tianyi lowered his head and his face was a little solemn, and he received a call from the masses early this morning, saying that a vicious homicide case had occurred in a residential house in the town, and a man and a woman both died in the rental house.

Zhang Tian didn't care about breakfast, so he called his colleagues in the office to ring the alarm on the police car and rushed over.

By the time Zhang Tianyi rushed over, it was already seven o'clock, and Zhang Tian got out of the police car to look at the surrounding environment.

The place where the crime occurred is an old residential area, but the location is quite prosperous, in the center of the town, the mobility of people is very large, the upper floor is a residential building, the downstairs is a façade room, at this time a bun shop downstairs was pulled on the cordon.

Seeing Zhang Tian get off the bus, the staff at the scene came over to report: "Zhang, the couple from this bun shop are the informants, and we blocked the scene as soon as possible." ”

Zhang Tian nodded: "When will the forensic doctor arrive?" ”

The policewoman who got out of the car together said, "It's been notified, about half an hour later." ”

"Come over and assign work." Zhang Tianyi beckoned: "But people, you take the informant back to the office to make a record, Da Kui will go to get the nearby surveillance, Senzi will go to see if there are any other witnesses, and Ye Zi will ask the landlord about the identity of the deceased." ”

"Do you get it?"

"Understood!"

"If you understand it, execute it immediately!"

Zhang Tianyi attaches great importance to this case, since he came here to receive the report is basically the cat on the tree and not down, the result is that the cat jumped on the roof and came down by itself after the police, or whose dog disappeared inexplicably, a few days after the case was filed, it turned out that it went to someone else's house to give birth.

This is the first time to deal with a murder case, and it is still two lives, if the case is solved, maybe the superiors will also adjust the staffing of the office, after all, a police station is full of only a dozen people, but if the case cannot be solved, it is estimated that the director of his own will have to go home to farm.

"Then let's eat something first......

Da Kui brought over a basket of steamed buns.

Moriko took a bite and asked, "Where did you get it?" Our people's police can't eat and take cards! ”

Da Kui pointed to the bun shop behind him.

"I don't have an appetite, so you might as well eat it yourself."

But after the man finished speaking, he was ready to go back to the office to make a note.

"Alright, let's all go to work."

Zhang Tianyi crossed the cordon and prepared to go to the scene of the crime.

"Wait!"

An ambulance pulled up on the side of the road, and a man with glasses got out of the car.

Zhang Tianyi turned around and smiled and said, "What? Didn't your superiors give you a special car? ”

The man smiled shyly: "Isn't it because the organization is facing a shortage of funds." ”

The man is Zhang Tianyi's classmate, named Lin Fan, who was assigned here as a forensic doctor with him after graduation. But his experience is also quite bleak, the people in the town are basically born, old, sick and die, his professional knowledge is not used at all, and his daily work is basically to explain to the students who have just graduated from the hospital why the octopus has three hearts and which of Xiaoqiang's two brains is developed.

However, this time there were two other people, a man and a woman, who came with Lin Fan, with green faces and looked like they had just graduated from school.

Lin Fan explained embarrassedly: "This is not the county magistrate's family moving the grave a few days ago, I helped him put together the bones of the ancestors, he felt that the forensic doctor was still a little useful, so he assigned two interns." ”

Zhang Tianyi and his entourage put on gloves and went to the scene of the crime, the scene of the crime was on the third floor, and there were several patrol police officers guarding the door.

"Why don't you leave the door open?"

Zhang Tianyi said that he was going to open the door.

A few police officers said, "Zhang, you have to be mentally prepared. ”

Zhang Tianyi was a little dissatisfied, as a people's policeman, he had to make psychological preparations when he went to the scene of the crime to collect evidence, isn't this ridiculous.

However, Zhang Tianyi was also at the scene of the murder for the first time, and he took a breath and pushed the door open. However, as soon as the door was opened, the two new interns covered their mouths and noses and vomited wildly, and Zhang Tianyi also understood why he wanted to be mentally prepared.

The room was small, with only one bedroom and a balcony, and the facilities and appliances were just small items. There was a man half-kneeling on the bed in the bedroom, who looked dressed as a man, but his head was missing.

Zhang Tianyi walked to the corpse and found that the deceased's hands were in the shape of palms, similar to the palms of the monks when they saluted. The back of the deceased was very stiff, his feet were at an angle that was difficult for ordinary people to complete, and his limbs were almost bent like demons, as if he wanted to shrink his whole body into a ball.

However, the strange thing is that there is no blood around the deceased, and not a single drop of blood has been seen. It's just that the shoulders are cut off by the roots, the meridians and blood vessels inside are clear, the blood that has not yet coagulated is still bubbling and bubbling, and even two white collarbones can be faintly seen!

Zhang Tianyi's stomach churned, fortunately he didn't eat in the morning, otherwise he wasn't sure if he could hold it without throwing up.

Lin Fan didn't have a big reaction, but his trembling shoulders also hinted at the tension in his heart.

Zhang Tianyi calmed down and asked, "Lin Fan, what do you think is the cause of the victim's death?" ”

Lin Fan took out a magnifying glass and looked at it: "The wound is flush and complete, and the green tendons on the deceased's arms and legs are not protruding, and the limbs are also very loose to the touch, it seems that he did not suffer a lot of pain before his death, it is a bit like a fatal knife." ”

Lin Fan took a brief look and said: "There are no other wounds on the body, the preliminary judgment is that it is fatal, and the specific cause of death can only be determined after pulling it back for an autopsy." ”

Zhang Tianyi felt a chill in the back of his head.

A knife is fatal, what kind of deep hatred does the suspect have with the deceased to be so ruthless!

Zhang Tianyi took out his camera to take pictures for evidence, and the camera suddenly swept something when he was focusing. Zhang Tianyi beckoned Lin Fan to lift the bed open, and in order to protect the scene, they only opened a gap. Zhang Tianyi touched the gap, and then took out a wooden card.

"What is this?"

Lin Fan took it and looked at it, there were some patterns carved on the wooden card, and it was a bit like a totem of some kind of animal.

Zhang Tianyi felt a little familiar, and before he could take a closer look, he was interrupted by the call of the balcony.

There were many suspicious points on this headless corpse, Zhang Tianyi was a little fascinated by it, and he forgot for a moment that there was a female corpse.

The call just now was made by the two trainee forensic doctors, if the male corpse died strangely, then the female corpse died bloody.

There was not a drop of blood at the scene of the crime in the bedroom, and there was no trace of a fight, but the balcony was simply a slaughterhouse, and there was a mess of blood everywhere. The clothes on the clothesline on the balcony were twisted and twisted, the flower pots shattered, and the soil was splashed, and the female corpse lay on the ground, one hand sticking out of the balcony.

Zhang Tianyi looked down the balcony, and below was the bun shop, and the onlookers gradually dispersed, and the town seemed to have returned to its former peace.

Lin Fan turned the female corpse over, and then couldn't help but run to the toilet and vomit. Zhang Tianyi was also retching on the side, and there was nothing in his stomach to vomit all the sour water. As for the two interns, their faces had long been frightened.

It's not that Zhang Tianyi and Lin Fan's ability to resist pressure is poor, but the visual impact of the female corpse is really not something that ordinary people can bear, and it is estimated that the butcher in the slaughterhouse will not dare to kill again after seeing it in a short time.

The female corpse was crumpled, as if all the water in the shrunken body had evaporated, and everyone could clearly see that there was only a skin-wrapped bone. The eyes of the deceased were empty, and it looked like their eyes should have been gouged out, and they were covered in bloody scars, a bit like they had been scratched out by large jackals, tigers and leopards.

There were two dark holes in the arteries in the neck of the female corpse, about a finger thick.

Lin Fan sniffled: "This corpse has many wounds, and I can't determine the specific cause of death without careful examination." ”

Zhang Tianyi sighed, since he came out of the police academy, he has never solved a serious case, who knew that the murder case he experienced for the first time would be so confusing.

Headless corpses, mysterious wooden signs, bloody scratches, strange holes in his neck, this series of things made it difficult for him to digest for a while.
