The next morning, Zhang Tianyi and Lin Fan returned to the police station, and as soon as they walked to the door, they saw Lin Keren looking out while fiddling with his mobile phone, looking worried and walking around the office.

Lin Keren had been tossing and turning last night. Yesterday, Zhang Tianyi told Lin Fan that he was going to the deceased's house to understand the situation, but he didn't see the two of them until he got off work in the evening, and his mobile phone was turned off and couldn't get through. Lin Keren came to the institute early this morning, but he didn't find Zhang Tianyi, seeing that it had been a day and a night, Lin Keren was afraid that something would happen to the two of them, put on a police hat and prepared to go out to find it.

As soon as Lin Keren went out, she saw Zhang Tianyi waving to her at the intersection, and she walked over a few steps before she could ask about the situation, and found the scars on their bodies first.

Lin Fan saw Lin Keren subconsciously dodging back, looking like he still couldn't forget the white fox's confusion last night. Lin Keren knew as soon as he saw the two of them that something must have happened last night, Zhang Tianyi was also thinking about how to explain what happened last night to the people in the office, he couldn't say that he saw a fox dancing at the moon last night, right?

In the morning, when the people in the institute asked, Zhang Tianyi said that he was scratched by thorns, and he naturally couldn't tell the truth, the last case had not yet been revealed, and now saying it would only add to everyone's fear.

Lin Fan rested at the police station for a while, said goodbye to Zhang Tianyi and the others, and went back. As soon as Zhang Tian took a shower, he casually grabbed two mouthfuls of food and called everyone to a meeting, and it has been several days since the case occurred, but there is still no progress, and the atmosphere in the house is becoming more and more solemn day by day.

"Knock knock!" Suddenly there was a sharp knock at the door. Zhang Tianyi's heart throbbed, and he was instantly enveloped by an ominous premonition.

"What's wrong?" Senzi asked the guard who knocked on the door, and the guard looked at Zhang Tian with sweat and couldn't speak.

Zhang Tian nodded a little and let him say, and the guard slowed down and stumbled and said: "I just received a call from the police, and a corpse was found under the overpass in the suburbs......"

"What!?"

Everyone in the conference room shouted!

The town of Ping'an is far from the city, and at the edge of the town there is a flyover, which is one of the main transportation hubs connecting to the outside world, and the deceased was found under the flyover.

The deceased was a woman, aged about twenty-five, who was found at five o'clock in the morning. Underneath the flyover is a river that runs through several surrounding towns, and the deceased was found kneeling on the bank of the river in a strange position, according to the informant.

When Zhang Tianyi rushed over, he found that this posture was not unfamiliar to him, and it was exactly the same as the posture of the male deceased in the first case, with his hands folded as if praying. But the difference is that this time the deceased's head is not missing, but her entire left leg below her body is missing!

"That is, the deceased knelt on one knee with one leg propped up?" On the way, Zhang Tianyi asked.

Lin Keren nodded and said, "That's right, the deceased this time is exactly the same as the male deceased last time, except for the difference in the body tissues lost, the other modus operandi and the posture he maintained when he died. According to the current situation, the two cases should be the same murderer, but we did not extract fingerprints or relevant evidence at the scene of the crime, and there were no clues at all. ”

Zhang Tianyi was at a loss at this time. The head tissue that the male deceased lost last time has not been found until now, but all the suspicious places in the town have been investigated by the police, but nothing has been found.

"Have you investigated the background information of the informant?" Zhang Tianyi asked. The police solve the case is nothing more than three elements, human evidence, physical evidence, and confession. It is obvious that these two cases were committed by the same murderer, and after a few days of investigation, it was found that this murderer has a very strong anti-investigation ability, and will not leave any evidence at all, not even a little suspicious, so Zhang Tianyi feels that the current direction of investigation should start with confessions.

"We immediately investigated the identity and background of the informant, who was a waste picker in the town, and found the deceased when he got up in the morning to pick up waste and walked to the overpass." Lin Keren reported the known situation to Zhang Tianyi, then frowned and said, "It's just...... According to our colleagues at the scene, the deceased's left leg was cut off by the murder weapon, but no traces of blood were found at the scene of the crime. ”

Zhang Tianyi didn't speak after hearing this, in fact, Zhang Tianyi guessed that there was no blood at the scene of the crime, because they also didn't find blood in the room of the male deceased in the previous case.

When Zhang Tianyi arrived at the scene of the crime, Lin Fan was taking pictures of the corpse. Zhang Tianyi squeezed out a smile weakly and said, "You kid is better informed than me." ”

Lin Fan beckoned Zhang Tianyi to come over, and Zhang Tianyi crossed the cordon and came to the deceased. The scene of the crime was exactly the same as Lin Keren's depiction, and the deceased was indeed kneeling on one knee with his hands folded.

Zhang Tianyi glanced around and found nothing suspicious, and he also didn't see any blood remaining, so he asked, "What is the cause of death of the deceased?" ”

Lin Fan lifted the deceased's hair and said, "This is the cause of death." ”

The deceased's hair was lifted to reveal the neck, and there were two finger-thick holes in the major artery of the deceased's neck, which were exactly the same as those on the neck of the female deceased in the case.

"I have carefully examined it, although the deceased's left leg was cut off, it will not die in a short time, and the real cause of death is caused by this bite mark." Lin Fan looked at Zhang Tianyi and continued, "However, the blood in the body of this deceased has not disappeared. ”

Zhang Tianyi lowered his head and his expression was a little solemn, and then the mobile phone in his pocket suddenly rang. Zhang Tianyi took out his mobile phone, looked at the caller ID, pressed the connect button, and said with a wry smile: "Hey, Li Ju." ”

The call was made by Li Yude, the chief of the city's police department, and Zhang Tianyi was scolded as soon as he answered the phone. Li Yude said that this incident had alarmed the superiors, and the higher-level leaders attached great importance to it and gave a week to investigate, and if there was no progress in the case after a week, Zhang Tianyi was asked to pack up his things and roll up and get out.

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Tianyi shook his head, looking a little helpless. At present, it can only be confirmed that the murderer in the two cases is the same person, and the rest of the situation is unknown. The lost left leg of the female deceased was not found around the scene of the crime, and the scene of the crime was full of contradictions, just like the last time the male deceased died, the wound was connected to the bone artery, not to mention how the murderer cut off the lost human tissue parts with a knife, but the police did not even find a drop of blood at the scene, which is indeed a bit weird.

"Boss, we found this at the scene of the crime." Lin Keren walked over and handed Zhang Tianyi something. Zhang Tianyi took it and looked at it, and he had a headache, and what Lin Keren handed over was exactly the same as the wooden plaque he found at the scene of the crime before.

It's this mysterious wooden card again, and it exists every time it is at the scene of the crime, what does it portend?

Zhang Tianyi couldn't figure it out, the totem on the wooden plaque he had seen in the ancestral hall of the ancestral house when he was a child, and it was carved on a spiritual throne and enshrined at the top of the ancestral hall with a red cloth.

Zhang Tianyi felt that it was necessary for him to go back to his hometown to investigate. The murderer will leave this wooden plaque at the scene after each crime, and only by understanding the secret on the wooden plaque can there be the next step.

Zhang Tianyi put the wooden card into a plastic bag and was about to take it back to the institute for study, and when he looked down, he suddenly saw the marks left by the bite of the white fox last night. After careful comparison between the front and back, Zhang Tianyi found that except for the small wound, some other features were exactly the same as the bite marks on the deceased's neck. Could it be that it was really bitten by a white fox? But the wound on the deceased's neck was obviously much larger than his own tiger's mouth. Or maybe it's an enlarged version of a white fox? Zhang Tian didn't have a clue when he thought about it.

At this time, Lin Fan coughed and leaned into Zhang Tianyi's ear and said, "When I came back this morning, I compared that the soft tissue DNA extracted from the neck wound of the female deceased last time was completely consistent with the genes on our bodies that were scratched by the white fox last night. ”

Zhang Tianyi took a deep breath and didn't speak for a long time. It's not that the results of this comparison are unbelievable, I saw the power of the white fox last night, and the white fox can imitate humans singing and dancing to the moon, and what else it can't do.

But this is just a bold assumption, you can't call Li Yude directly and say that the murderer is a fox in the mountains who has become a spirit. Moreover, Zhang Tianyi always had a hunch in his heart that there must be some kind of connection between the two cases, and the murderer would never give up easily.

Zhang Tianyi walked over and asked Lin Keren: "Has the identity information of the deceased been found?" Lin Keren answered the phone and said, "I just found out, the deceased's name is Wang Ya." ”

"Wang Ya?" Zhang Tianyi lowered his head and pondered, the two deceased last time were also surnamed Wang, and the cause of death was basically the same as this time. Zhang Tian suddenly stopped when he thought of this, and then hurriedly asked, "Where is the deceased?" Isn't it from Sanli Coffin Town!? ”

Seeing Lin Keren nodded, Zhang Tianyi knew that his judgment was not wrong. The people in Sanli Coffin Town have been saying that the rules set by their ancestors can't go out, and the deceased in the two cases is from the same town, as well as Yang Yong, a carpenter at the east end of the town, who seems to know the white fox very well. The whole town is silent, what is the secret of that town?

"Tianyi, come on!" As soon as Lin Fan was about to transport the deceased back to the hospital for an autopsy, he discovered that something was wrong.

Zhang Tianyi walked over and asked, "What's wrong?" Lin Fan pulled Zhang Tianyi back two steps, found a suitable position and pointed at the deceased and said, "Tianyi, don't you think the deceased's posture is very strange, where do we seem to have met?" ”

Zhang Tian looked at it and found that it was true, then thought about it and said in a low voice: "White fox worships the moon!" ”

Lin Fan nodded and said, "That's right, the posture of the deceased is exactly the same as when the white fox knelt down to the blood moon last night. ”
