In the early morning of June 3, 2oo8, the morning light sprinkled all over the world, in such a beautiful morning, there were nearly ten police cars parked in the wilderness on the outskirts of Linyang City, the blocked yellow line isolated this place from the outside world, dozens of police officers were busy collecting evidence and sampling here and left, one tall and thin, and the other was slightly short and fat Two detectives also walked towards the thin old tree standing between the desolate world and the world, the tree was like a strange hand of the devil reaching out to the sky, and was probing the glorious sun.

The cold wind blew through the vast field, and the weeds and the branches and leaves of the old trees were rustling in the wind, as if someone was whispering an inaudible mystery in their ears.

A cloud of dust and smoke flowed through the sky, blocking most of the early sun that was still a little dazzling just now, and a chill surged up on the police officer who was not thickly dressed, a police officer who was standing in the distance to take pictures raised his head and saw the vigorous old tree standing in the cold wind, the trunk and branches of the old tree swayed on the ground with ghostly shadows, this old tree that could not find a few green leaves from beginning to end was dark all over the body, and only a few verdant green seedlings could be seen in the details of the old tree, proving that there was actually a new vitality brewing on this old tree.

The artistic cells in the heart of the police officer surged inexplicably, he raised the camera in his hand, and took a few steps back, and now the old trees, the remnant sun, the west wind, the wasteland, the end of the highway, and the detectives walking towards the old trees, at this angle turned out to be an excellent framing direction, and synthesized something under the trees, which simply constituted an artistic picture.

It's just that this is the art of death, the beauty of darkness.

Under the old tree, a naked female corpse leaned against the trunk of the tree on her knees, falling into eternal sleep, her hands were tied to the trunk with hemp rope, her head was bowed, her face sank in the shadows, and on her head, she was put on a "crown" woven with branches, flowers and thorns, behind the crown, a pair of broken black branches were inserted, at first glance, it looked like the female corpse had a pair of antlers on the back of her head, full of a sense of evil from heresy.

Luo Xuan crouched behind the corpse for a long time, his dead fish watching the symbol written in some kind of dim paint on the back of the corpse, which was a dark red lighthouse standing on the surface of the sea, and a blood-colored moon hung in the night sky.

"You go up and have a look first." Behind Luo Xuan, his current partner, Yang Mo, a member of the murder department, whispered, as if he was afraid of waking up something.

Luo Xuan put on white plastic gloves to avoid destroying the scene without saying a word, and stepped forward to start a routine inspection, when the police are almost ten years, this is the first major case he will handle, his criminal investigation knowledge finally has a place to use, he definitely does not dare to slack off, and he has a reason not to let go of this murderer.

"This case is really evil...... Yang Mo is a middle-aged man who is as tall and thin as a bamboo pole, and he is older than Luo Xuan in the murder department, he didn't follow up to observe the corpse carefully, but just chatted with the police officers who were still writing records around him.

"This year's third case, and there is that weird lighthouse symbol, I'm afraid it's the same people's work as the previous two." The officer shook his head helplessly: "This is definitely a symbol of the devil." ”

"Instead of wondering if this has something to do with demons, you might as well talk to me about something else. For example, when was this body revealed? Who's present? Before I had finished my breakfast, I was called here in a hurry. Yang Mo said lazily, he glanced at the watch on his wrist, nine o'clock.

"At seven o'clock in the morning, a passing truck driver got out of the car to smoke and found the body, and immediately called the police, and there were many people passing by on this road yesterday, and it is estimated that the body was put ......here last night," the police officer replied worriedly.

"Then don't stay here. Contact the searcher for me first, and conduct a wide net search in the nearby area, this is next to the highway, and the murderer has quietly laid out such a big battle, maybe there are other clues nearby that are worth seeing; Secondly, I need to ask me for the patrol records of all the vehicles in the vicinity in the past two days, which car may be the one that transported this corpse, the murderer will not carry these crowns, corpses, and totems here; Finally, block off this area and seal off the roads, so that we don't need the media and idlers to cause trouble. Yang Mo ordered resolutely, as the city's investigator, he still had the power to give this order.

"So, my rookie partner, have you shown anything?" This is the first time that Yang Mo and Luo Xuan have officially had a big case, as an "old-timer", Yang Mo asked Luo Xuan, who had been groping up and down the corpse, half-tentatively and half-testedly.

"The deceased female, about 30 years old, the body has been partially ossified, but not decomposed too much, the time of death is judged to be within a day, there are multiple traces of binding on the hands and feet, there are bruises and strangulation marks on the neck, there is a large amount of bleeding in the throat, and there are multiple stab wounds on the inner thigh and abdomen, but the knife wounds are not deep enough to cause death, and the preliminary judgment is that it should have been strangled to death. In addition, the deceased's entire face was peeled off, and there were no objects on his body that could confirm his identity, and it was impossible to confirm the true identity of the deceased for the time being. Luo Xuan squatted in front of the corpse, gently lowering the deceased's chin that had just been raised, the hideous face on the deceased's face did not move his face in the slightest, and his gloved hands rubbed the evil lighthouse symbol on the back of the corpse.

"But it's very strange, although there are many traces of beating and abuse on the body, there is no sign of resistance, as if the deceased accepted everything she suffered during her lifetime, which is very unreasonable, no one would be willing to be strangled to death, even if it was suddenly attacked unconsciously, how could the deceased have a certain resistance, but I did not show anything." Luo Xuan frowned.

"Although it is abnormal, it is exactly the same as the first two cases, and it is certain that this is the third case in the Lighthouse series." Yang Mo said with some annoyance: "It's really rampant, killing one person a month, are you bullying us Linyang police no one?" ”

"And about this antler, there are ...... Do you have any other thoughts on these things? Yang Mo pointed to the corpse and the things around the corpse and asked.

The corpse as a whole presents a kneeling posture similar to atonement, and what the corpse is kneeling to is a demon mask hanging in the air above her head.

Around the kneeling corpse, a circle of candles was placed, and the candlelight had long been blown out by the night wind, but the candle tears of dozens of candles still flowed all over the ground, making the whole ground a little greasy, and the blood flowing from the face of the deceased leaning against the big tree was also mixed with the candle tears all over the ground, and the smell of blood and decay was quite uncomfortable.

"It's a religious ritual, a totemic belief, a sacrifice of human and livestock, and the killer is trying to send some kind of message to the police, or to the whole world. This is a rather sane and cruel psychopath, and his every move is full of purpose, whether he recognizes this woman or not, he has definitely been premeditated and long-awaited for all this. Luo Xuan said coldly.

"Is he declaring war on the police? Can't imagine that we will really meet such a person, wantonly killing people for their own pleasure? It was difficult for Yang Mo to understand what kind of mentality such a madman had committed this series of crimes.

"No, it's not a declaration of war, he shouldn't care what we police think, he's sending some information to a specific group, these details and methods that are difficult to decipher in our eyes and strange 6 are probably some codes that need to be interpreted in a special way in the eyes of those people." Luo Xuan shook his head.

He stared at the antler-like "crown" on the corpse's head, and there seemed to be an invisible shadow rippling above the crown, and the shadow unfolded before his eyes, and it was a bottomless darkness that invited him tenderly and deeply......

"I don't understand you." Yang Mo couldn't understand the train of thought of this little follower, he always felt that this buddy's thinking circuit was a little different from that of normal people, but maybe only his way of thinking could keep up with the madman who committed serial murder?

"We should probably check if there are any female employees who have been fired or left the Yongye Group have disappeared recently, maybe there will be a match." Luo Xuan narrowed his eyes and sneered, his indescribable intuition trying to tell him something that was difficult to see at a glance.

Even if there is an unknowable night in front of him, he has to walk in without hesitation.

Because this is not only for his dignity as a policeman, but also for his revenge! Luo Xuan gritted his teeth and thought, a strong hatred welling up in his heart.

His heart flashed back to the dry broken foot in his daughter's gift box, and the broken foot was still tied with the red rope that made his heart ache, and the red rope was tied by his own hands! 8
