Chapter 364: The Old Church

As the police car gradually drove away from the road, gradually, the abandoned church in the mouth of the mountain 'chicken' appeared in front of us...

On both sides of the church, there are ruins and broken stones, many of which are covered with green moss, which is probably left behind by the flood.

After making sure that everything was right, the three of us got out of the car and prepared to go inside the church to check on the situation.

The whole church is surprisingly large, and I estimate that the area of the church is about the same as a professional football field. The night wind was gusting, and I couldn't help but shiver, and I couldn't help but gasp as I looked at the dark church in front of me.

Looking at the huge church, even an old man like Tang Yan couldn't help but become nervous: "Don't say it, just looking at it from a distance, it's really like the ancient castle where Count Dracula lived in Western legends." When you look at it, it's daunting! ”

I listened and quipped, "Unfortunately, this castle is not inhabited by a vampire, but a real skinner." Legend has it that people in the West will use garlic and crosses to deal with vampires, but I don't know what we should use to deal with such a "skinner"? ”

Lu Yuan took a deep breath and took the lead in the direction of the church: "Whether it's a human or a ghost!" I'm not afraid, this time, I just want to see with my own eyes what that 'bastard' who framed me looks like! ”

This is the end of the chat, and we have to be careful and get into it. As the main suspect in the skinning case, Yan Hei's methods are very cruel, and the 'spirit' spirit is extremely unstable, if he takes a wrong step, maybe not only will he not be able to save Lao Yan, but even the three of us will suffer together.

Tang Yan used the positioning system to send a signal to Cheng Zhimin and others, and through a short period of 'communication', we also knew that the manpower of the criminal investigation brigade basically rushed back to the city from all over the city. Once we can confirm that the murderer is hiding in this old church, Cheng Zhimin's action team will rush here to support us as soon as possible, and strive to arrest Yanhei at the lowest cost.

But will things really go as smoothly as expected? For some reason, an inexplicable uneasiness began to rise in my heart at this moment.

Next, Tang Yan and I gradually followed the footsteps of Lu Yuan and entered the old church together.

The whole church was very dilapidated, and the inside was very dim, and there was no light at all.

Although it is far away from the city and very remote, the surrounding environment is so dilapidated that it does not look like it has been visited by people at all. At this moment, the doubts in my heart have become more and more intense, will Yan Hei really tie Lao Yan to such a ghost place?

"Goofy, what do you think?" In the dark, Tang Yan suddenly muttered such a sentence. I was concentrating my attention when his sudden words scared me enough.

"What do you think? What do you mean by looking? ”

"Of course, it's to analyze why Yanhei brought Lao Yan to this kind of place! Wasn't the previous criminal mind portrait 'pretty good'? Tang Yan paused for a moment, and then continued to speak: "Anyway, being idle now is idle, and analyzing a little more useful information will be more beneficial for us to arrest that 'bastard' in the future!" ”

Tang Yan, this guy, in the current 'gloomy' environment, still makes me think about these things, which is a special test of my psychological endurance.

However, I also know that Tang Yan is more for the police's consideration, after all, all the current situation is more based on my speculation and the confession of the mountain 'chicken' system, even if it is extremely in line with the logic of facts, there is no way to guarantee that it is 100% correct.

If there are no useful clues in this old church, there is a high risk that the police will be in full passivity. When this happens, it is also more beneficial for us to think about some useful information earlier.

I don't know if Tang Yan has already thought of the real reason, but I still try to keep up with Lu Yuan's footsteps, close my eyes, and reintegrate the existing clues.

Therefore, after discarding the previous information about Ke Mobai and the Indoctrination Field Project, what was the purpose of the murderer bringing Lao Yan to such a dilapidated church?

Is it just because it's so remote that it's not easy for others to spot? I believe that remoteness should be one of the reasons, not the crux of the matter.

From the analysis of the previous two skinning cases, whether it was the murderer who put Shanying's body at the Zhengda 'gate' of the amusement park, or cut off the tongue of Team Leader Wu, they all had a very strong purpose.

The purpose of the former seems to be to take revenge on the mountain eagle, while the latter is clearly to challenge the public security system.

Although the murderer suffers from a mental disease, when he does something, he still has a very strong purpose. Since he didn't choose to kill Lao Yan in the police station, but kidnapped him directly, then I speculate that the murderer should not have tied Lao Yan to a strange place at will.

This ruined church must have had some special meaning to the murderer, and I suspect that it may have something to do with his childhood experiences. Or, the murderer experienced something extremely tragic in this place, and it was this incident that gave him a great blow to his 'spirit', and he gradually became like this.

I began to regret that I had come here after learning about this church from the mountain chicken, instead of choosing to stay and think about it a little more.

If I had figured out these issues earlier, I would have asked Cheng Zhimin to integrate the information about this church with me. Something must have happened in this church after the flood of the 80s, and if I could have read the information about this old church, maybe I could have found more key clues.

Before you know it, we've gone deep into the interior of the church.

Like the ruins on the outside, the inside of the church is also in a dilapidated state. The original flood completely destroyed the entire church, and after years of precipitation, it became dilapidated, if you want to describe it in words, it is like a ruin, and there is no valuable clue.

"Officer Tang, if you were the murderer, where would you take Lao Yan?" Tang Yan has always been giving me questions before, and at this time, I also tested him in a timely manner.

Since Lao Yan was kidnapped, my brain has been under too much pressure, and now it is a little overloaded, and many details may not be taken into account, if it is through the analysis of others, maybe I can see some neglected things.

Tang Yan glanced at me, his gaze was as sharp as ever, as if he could pierce this darkness.

After a while, Tang Yan sighed, and then slowly spoke: "If I were the murderer, I would take Officer Yan to the center of the church, similar to the worship room or to the cross!" ”

"Oh? Why! ”

If the murderer had chosen this place, then the old church would have been like his own "home" to the murderer. Tang Yan paused for a moment, and then continued to speak: "You have also analyzed before, every time the murderer strangles a person and peels off the victim's skin, he can get great pleasure from it!" By comparing the six previous cases, I can clearly feel that the murderer is enjoying the whole process of killing. It's like a hunter who is just for pleasure, treating his prey!

If I were the murderer, I would definitely take him to the whole church, the most center, the most special place, so that I could enjoy the killing process to the fullest. Come to think of it, in the church, the only places that meet the above conditions should be the worship room and the main church! ”

Tang Yan's analysis does have a unique side, unlike the "criminal mind" portrait I used, he relied on years of experience to completely substitute himself into the perspective of the murderer.

"Wait, what the hell is this!" Just when Tang Yan and I were trying our best to speculate on the murderer's heart, in front of us, there was a sudden exclamation from Lu Yuan.
