"Again."

Jiang Fan drew a talisman for the first time, and he didn't think about it as a one-time success.

He looked at the "wordless book" in his mind.

[Spell: Rejuvenation Charm (Fu Gong Technique)

Realm: Beginner (0/10)】

The proficiency level is still "0", and there is no improvement.

"Do I have to draw successfully once to increase my proficiency?

If the skill is improved and reaches the Xiaocheng level, what will happen, can you make a blue-level talisman like Captain Xie did? ”

Jiang Fan thought in his heart, and then continued to practice drawing talismans.

One, two, three...... It wasn't until the fifth picture was drawn that Jiang Fan stopped.

These five Rejuvenation Talismans, undoubtedly, all failed to draw.

The most recent one was the fourth.

When he drew the talisman for the fifth time, the effect was even worse than the first time Jiang Fan drew it.

This is because, with the increase in the number of talismans, the spiritual power in Jiang Fan's mind was extracted, and his mind became more and more tired.

After the fourth time, Jiang Fan had a faint pain in his head, his temples were swollen and congested, and there was also a tingling sensation.

This is a condition of overuse of the brain.

If the state deteriorates, of course, it will affect the effect of the symbols.

I glanced at the "wordless book" in my mind again.

[Spell: Rejuvenation Charm (Fu Gong Technique)

Realm: Beginner (0/10)】

"After drawing five times, all of them failed, and it seems that it is very likely that you really have to succeed in drawing the talisman in order to increase your proficiency."

Putting away the things one by one, Jiang Fan was ready to rest, he was not in the right state, and forcibly continued to draw talismans, not only to torture and destroy his body, but also to waste materials and money.

It's useless, there's no need.

Lying on the bed, Jiang Fan closed his eyes, and the exhaustion of his head made Jiang Fan quickly enter a state of confusion and was about to fall asleep.

"I've blown the evening breeze you've blown ......"

At this moment, the mobile phone rang suddenly.

Jiang Fan was suddenly awakened, picked up his mobile phone and saw that it was Li Zhe calling.

"It's so late, Li Zhe still called, there must be something urgent."

Jiang Fan looked at the secret words in his heart, and the original sleepiness disappeared immediately, and he connected the phone.

"Hey, Brother Li, is there anything urgent?"

"Jiang Fan, hurry up, get ready, we have to set off immediately and rush to No. 15 Donglin Street, Huidong Road, the fourth case has appeared!"

Li Zhe explained the situation succinctly and appallingly on the phone.

"What? Okay, I'll get up right away. ”

When Jiang Fan heard this, he was taken aback, and he didn't care about his drowsy head, and immediately got up from the bed.

Put on clothes, hats, shoes and socks within a few minutes, and at the same time pack some necessary things in the backpack, and after putting the backpack on your back, you will go outside to meet Xie Jianguo and Li Zhe.

Xie Jianguo and Li Zhe were already waiting in the car.

"Get in the car."

Seeing Jiang Fan coming, Li Zhe greeted.

"Sorry, it's late."

After Jiang Fan got into the car, he apologized.

"It's okay, this kind of emergency will be commonplace in the future, and after more experience, you will naturally become familiar with it, and the action will be much faster, hahaha."

Li Zhe smiled when he heard this, and while speaking, he rushed out directly with one foot on the accelerator.

No. 15, Donglin Street, Huidong Road.

This is a villa group in Huishi, and the people who live here are either rich or expensive.

At this time, the perimeter of Villa 15 has been cordoned off, and there are relevant personnel standing guard.

Obviously, this is where the crime took place this time.

Coming here, after Xie Jianguo and Li Zheliang showed their documents, they took Jiang Fan into the scene together.

A large swimming pool on the edge.

At this time, Li Ming was taking the two of them and observing by the pool.

Seeing Jiang Fan and the three of them coming, he immediately greeted:

"Captain Xie, you're here, come and have a look."

"Okay."

Xie Jianguo nodded and looked at the pool.

In the pool at this time.

Four iron deck chairs sank, and on top of each iron deck chair, a person was tied to each of them.

Two adults, is a couple, two teenage girls.

Apparently, all four had already drowned.

"The identity of the deceased has been investigated, and the head of the household is called Liu Hongwen. The family originally had five people, and there was one less nine-year-old boy, Liu Xiaodong.

And, in the villa, four videotapes were found, three of which were confirmed to be videos of the previous three incidents.

From this, it can be concluded that this is the fourth series of incidents. ”

Li Ming talked to Xie Jianguo about the basic information of the drowning incident.

"Why?"

Xie Jianguo listened to Li Ming's words, his brows furrowed, and he was a little incomprehensible.

"What's wrong?"

Li Ming asked.

"According to our previous analysis, the criminal methods of the criminals are escalating, from the first hanging, the second burning, and the third dismemberment.

In the three cases, the ferocity and ruthlessness of the murderer's methods are increasing step by step.

More and more pursuit of the ritual sense of crime.

But why did this fourth incident drown people so simply?

Why did the murderer's criminal pattern suddenly change so much?

In other words, what causes the murderer, not to pursue the escalation of criminal means and the sense of ritual? ”

Xie Jianguo voiced his doubts.

When Li Ming heard Xie Jianguo's words, he nodded in agreement:

"That's what we've discovered. Based on the speculation we discussed, there are two possibilities. ”

"Which two?"

"First, for some unexpected reason, the murderer has to give up more murderous methods and rituals, and choose a simpler way of killing.

This may be due to the fear of being discovered, or by other factors, or by any other reason.

Anyway, it is forced to change, not an active change.

Team Xie, what do you think? ”

After Li Ming finished speaking the first one, he paused and looked at Xie Jianguo.

"Agreed."

Xie Jianguo nodded and asked:

"What about the second one?"

"The second is the murderer's active way of changing, no, maybe it's not appropriate to say that the active change.

It should be said that the murderer has never pursued the so-called escalation of criminal means and the sense of criminal ritual.

It's just that his methods make us mistakenly think that he is such a mentality. ”

"You mean to say that the methods used by murderers to kill people are not because the pursuit methods are more brutal, but because of other unknown reasons?"

Xie Jianguo somewhat understood.

"Yes, if our guess is correct, then there must be some kind of connection between these four deaths that we have overlooked."

"Strangulation, burning, mutilation, drowning, is there any connection between this?"

Xie Jianguo muttered in his mouth while thinking in his head.

"We didn't think of any connection between them, but that's just the second possibility.

The first possibility cannot be ruled out, and even the first possibility is greater than the second. ”

"Have you seen the fourth incident tape?"

Xie Jianguo thought for a while, but he didn't have a clue, so he put it down and asked for the time being.

"I've seen it, so let's take a look."

Li Ming nodded, and then led the two of them to a white screen where the video was shown.

At this moment, a video was playing on the white screen from a projector not far away.
