"The red thread on this body should be red cotton wool, and many old people used to use this to knit sweaters for their children."

Shen Ke said, took out his mobile phone, and took a few photos of Zhou Juncheng.

"This candle is very thick, unscented, and generally workmanlike, and it looks like a big white candle. Now there are few power outages in Nanjiang, and people don't use candles much in their homes, and even if they do, they are the thickness of their fingers. ”

It's just that the value of this clue is not high, there are many funeral supply stores, and there are many people who buy white candles, and it is very difficult to check them one by one, and now Internet shopping is very developed, and the murderer has a little hand, and things are delivered to his home.

In Zhou Juncheng, there are no clues in sight.

He, an Internet algorithm engineer, why would he come to such an inaccessible place in the middle of the night?

Shen Ke looked around with a question.

Qi Huan noticed her gaze and raised his hand to point, "On that side, there is the unfinished villa area, and the name of the community is Huiyao." There are no people living here, like a ghost town. But a few of them have been renovated and have water and electricity. ”

Shen Ke nodded, it was not far away, and a few people could reach it on foot.

The road here has been repaired, because it is summer, it is overgrown with weeds, and there is a snake on the side of the road that I don't know when it was killed, and it has dried on the ground.

If the house is not inhabited, it is easy to be dilapidated and desolate, and some of the houses of creepers are surrounded by greenery.

Shen Ke walked around the road, then turned back to a villa in the middle, and put on new gloves and foot covers in front of the door.

"What, is there something wrong with this house?"

Li Yuan looked at her silently, raised his feet and left, and asked curiously.

Without waiting for Shen Ke to answer, Chen Mo next to him replied, "Have you seen the footprints at this door?" It rained yesterday and someone left fresh footprints here. ”

"If you look at the mud on the steps and at the entrance door, the color seems to be a little different from the one we came from, someone from somewhere else. Footprints in other places can be washed away by the rain, but this place can't get drenched in the rain, so it stays. ”

When Shen Ke heard this, he pointed to the footprints at the door and said, "Before, the small ditch was full of ordinary yellow mud, and our Nanjiang River is basically soil of this color. But this, the yellow mud is mixed with a lot of black and gray things. ”

"The forensic man took a sample and compared it to the test, this footprint is also a thirty-seven yard rain boot. Although there are many rain boots on the market, not all soles are the same. ”

"Have you searched the villa area before?" Shen Ke asked.

"It's not time yet," Gao Shan said, "and when the body was found in the morning, we rushed over immediately, mainly to protect the scene." Then I went to that old street looking for shoes and my phone. ”

Shen Ke didn't say much, and with a slight push of his hand, the door opened.

"Someone picked the lock."

This is a renovated villa, it is a European style that was popular in the early years, it is very gorgeous, and the living room is hung with crystal chandeliers full of falling ash and cobwebs.

The white cloth covering the large carved sofa was thrown to the ground, and on the coffee table were two sets of playing cards and white wax dripping on them.

"I asked them to come over to collect evidence, this playing card is new, you can't always wear gloves when playing cards, there should be fingerprints on it", Chen Mo said, but he didn't have the joy of finding clues.

There are several people who play cards, will Zhou Juncheng be one of them?

If so, Zhou Juncheng has a decent job, and it's easy to get a place to party, why do they have to go to a deserted villa at night to play cards?

Zhou Juncheng is dead, so where have the others gone?

If everyone else is still alive, then why did no one call the police when Zhou Juncheng died? After the game was dismissed, Zhou Juncheng was killed. Or are the people who killed him the same people who play cards?

Shen Ke thought, frowning slightly, she didn't move the playing cards, picked up her phone and took a photo on the desktop.

The hall on the first floor is a little empty, and those valuable antique calligraphy and paintings should have been moved away by the owner, leaving some clumsy furniture, too lazy to toss.

Shen Ke looked around and suddenly paused.

"Team Chen, look at that fireplace."

On the opposite side of the couch, there is a fireplace, and next to the fireplace is a rocking easy-to-go chair, and next to the easy-standing chair rests on the ground with a fluffy cat nest.

In Shen Ke's mind, almost a picture of the hostess sitting in front of the fireplace reading a book, the cat lying in the cat nest on the side, flicking her tail to the master's instep from time to time to confirm whether she was still there.

It was snowing heavily outside the window, and what should have been a very warm picture has now become very scary.

On the glass door of the fireplace, it was red, not flames, but blood, pasted on the glass.

Shen Ke put on gloves and opened the door of the fireplace, and Gao Shan next to him gasped.

"I'm going to call the appraiser."

Shen Ke didn't touch it, squatted down, and took a picture of the corpse hidden there.

"The second deceased, female. Like Zhou Juncheng, her hands and feet were also tied behind her back, and the whole person was like a reverse bow to lead the neck to be killed. His neck was slit, and blood was spurted everywhere. ”

"This fireplace is huge, and the deceased is relatively small, so it's just right to stuff it in."

Because the deceased was wearing a white dress, and it was not like Zhou Juncheng who was drenched in the rain and soaked in water outside, the blood stains were particularly obvious, which can be said to be shocking.

The second deceased also had a candle in his mouth.

Chen Mo's face was slightly gloomy, and he dialed the number in the bureau.

"The case has escalated, it's a serial murder case, we've found a second body, and the case is now in the Special Crime Unit. Yes, we need more manpower to search the neighborhood in a carpet to see if there are any new victims. ”

As he spoke, he nodded at Qi Huan and Li Yuan, and motioned for each of them to bring some people to search nearby.

Then he quickly synchronized the information here to Zhao Xiaomeng, who stayed in the bureau.

Shen Ke stood quietly in front of the corpse, the girl's face was covered with wax, and her expression could not be seen clearly at all, but the frightened emotions could be seen in her eyes.

She looked at the deceased's unnaturally backward feet, which were wearing a pair of black rubber rain boots.

These rain boots are very ordinary, there is no beauty, and for a young girl, they are a bit outdated.

Shen Ke turned on the light on his mobile phone, and when he shone it lightly, there was a small circle in the center of the sole with many complex anti-slip patterns, and the number "37" was written in the middle of the circle.

37, which means size 37 shoes.
