I don't believe it's just a coincidence, and that the person behind it is supposed to be behind it.

Grab a pencil and complete the seven-pointed star pattern, and the situation becomes clear in an instant.

The location of the five cases of spontaneous combustion of the human body corresponds to the five endpoints of the seven-pointed star pattern. And the five positions where the posts are published are exactly on the line of the seven-pointed star.

The initial speculation was correct, this case was related to religion, and from the current situation, the murderer used this method of spontaneous combustion of the human body to commit crimes many times, as if he was performing some kind of obscure ritual.

With this map of the seven-pointed star, it is possible to deduce the location of the murderer's actions in the first place, so as to take action.

"Great, I'll give this map to my brother and Teacher Yan, so that this case will be 。。。。。"

"Wait!" I snatched the map from Lin Xiaoxue's hand and held it in my hand: "You can't tell anyone about this matter, even Lin Feng is no exception." The clues in this map were the first to be discovered! Now, I want you two to keep it a secret for me! ”

Lin Xiaoxue looked at me a little incredulously: "Why, Gao Fei?" Don't you want to solve the case? ”

"I have my troubles, I hope you understand!" The black gold case has caused a big shadow in my heart, and the other party can act in front of us so unscrupulously, and it is hard to guarantee that there will be no undercover agents in the police station.

To this day, I still can't trust everyone in the police station.

I rolled up the map, secretly stuffed it into Moxican's coat pocket, and whispered to him, "If I don't return to the police station before the next death notice, please pass this on to Mr. Yan, please!" ”

Moxican looked at me suspiciously, then grabbed the map and nodded vigorously, which was considered to be agreed.

"There are some things that I want to confirm myself, and if things go well, I can be back in a few days!"

"Why? When it came to the black gold case, you were obviously not like this! Is it because of my brother? Lin Xiaoxue was a little hoarse, it seemed that she tried her best to dissuade me and continue to stay in the police station.

Silly boy, what does this have to do with your brother? The Black Gold case was an exception, and before that, I had always investigated cases by myself. Staying with too many people, their actions and thoughts often block my judgment, I have always liked to be lonely, maybe this way is more suitable for me.

waved at Lin Xiaoxue slightly, made a gesture of victory, and then turned around and left the police station.

It was nearly dark outside, the wind was gusting, and there were hardly any people on the streets.

Although I handed over the map to Mohican, the specific details in it were completely imprinted in my mind.

One of the most interesting places on the map is a church called "Santa Maria".

First, I have deduced that this homicide is related to religion. Secondly, because of Pastor Ren Fengyue's identity, I can't help but associate him with "St. Mary". The most important point is that this church happens to be at one of the endpoints of the entire seven-pointed star pattern.

This church is most likely the location of the next crime, and I will have to visit it in every way.

I stopped a black car on the side of the street and cut the price for half a day before the other party agreed to send me to the church of Santa Maria.

Because it is sitting in the passenger seat, it can be clearly observed. Whenever I mention the church of "Santa Maria", the driver's face always shows a look of fear, consciously or unconsciously.

Micro-expressions are people's knee-jerk reactions, and they don't lie, judging from the driver's knee-jerk reaction, this church should have a story. Unfortunately, I'm not a local, so I don't know much about the church.

While waiting for the red light, I stuffed a cigarette to the driver next to me, and while I lit a cigarette, I mentioned a few things about the church.

The driver spat out a few puffs of mist, then dropped the handbrake and kicked the accelerator.

"Brother, listening to your accent, it should be an outsider, what are you going to do in that church on this big night?"

"I'm a tabloid reporter, and the editor-in-chief asked me to report on that church." I casually made up a lie, prevaricated, and then changed the conversation: "What's the matter, master, listen to you, that church is not simple?" ”

Hearing me say this, the look of fear on the driver's face became even thicker.

"It's not easy, that church is haunted!"

After that, I also learned the truth about the church of "Santa Maria" from the mouth of the driver.

"Santa Maria" is ostensibly a church, but in fact, it is a psychiatric hospital, as the local population basically knows.

Many mentally ill people who are not accepted by others, even those with violent tendencies, are brought into churches for treatment.

In order to prevent the patients from escaping, almost the interior of the church was almost completely enclosed, which also laid the groundwork for the tragedy that followed.

Three years ago, an inexplicable fire broke out in the church, and due to the negligence of the guards, the escape exit could not be opened in time. As a result, many mentally ill people could not escape at all, and were burned alive in the church.

According to eyewitnesses at the scene, at that time, he saw countless topless mentally ill people, holding on to iron railings, being mercilessly devoured by the flames.

No one knows what caused the fire, and no one counts how many mentally ill people were burned to death in the church.

In order to suppress public opinion, the authorities forcibly concealed this matter, and in their eyes, what remained in the church at that time was just a group of mentally ill people, and who would care about the life and death of these guys?

After that fire, the church of Santa Maria Maggiore became haunted. The whole church is full of ghosts, and the terrifying laughter often echoes.

It is said that at 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, a fire would rekindle in a burned room, and then countless figures would appear swaying along with the flames, and a few seconds later, the flames would disappear again along with the figures.

The driver also told me that there had been a few groups of people who had been in the church before that. The people who went in were either missing or had become mentally abnormal after they came out.

In recent years, the government has not carried out much effective management of the church. So that church has become a more famous ghost building in the local area, and they rent it, and they are basically prohibitive of that area.

Blaze? Haunted? Mentally ill? More questions came to mind. If I remember correctly, the driver told me that the fire broke out in the church of Santa Maria Mary three years ago, and the time of Tang Yirou's disappearance happened to be three years ago.

Tang Yirou once intervened in the Black Gold Case, and the murderer of the Black Gold Case happened to die in this case of spontaneous combustion of the human body.

There are too many mysteries left behind by the black gold case, and I feel more and more that there may be some inexplicable connection between these things. An invisible net that involves all the strange things, and what I am doing now is to get close to the center of this big net!

After galloping all the way, the taxi finally drove to the vicinity of the church. The driver took the cash and drove away with one foot on the accelerator, seemingly unwilling to stay here for a second. Drivers who run at night have their own taboos, and I understand his behavior.

As the night darkens, there are almost no people in the surrounding neighborhoods, and the few street lamps on the side of the road, glowing a dim yellow light, add to the eerie atmosphere.

I followed the map in my mind for a while, and when I was almost out of the city, I turned around and saw a huge church, like a man-eating demon standing in the darkness.

Just looking at it from afar, the church of Santa Maria Maggiore gave me an invisible visual pressure that made me almost breathless. The huge cross on the top of the church, scorched black by smoke, it seems that the fire three years ago should be real.

The iron door at the entrance was locked, and both the iron door and the chain had been completely corroded by rust, making it look filthy. I was still a little clean, and when I saw this scene, I decisively gave up the idea of going straight through the top of the iron door.

The surrounding fence is overgrown with all kinds of weeds.

I walked around the church and noticed a gap in the side wall that happened to be large enough for a person to get into.
