Trick Ninety-Three: "Traces of the Dead"

"Team Li, I sent you the address of the murder scene, and the surrounding area has been blocked by us."

"Well, okay! I'm going to come here. ”

Li Xiang's brows furrowed, and a trace of uneasy thoughts flashed in his heart, the continuous strange murders this month made him extremely sensitive, and there were no homicides before, but they were all relatively normal cases. And since the beginning of this month, as if under some kind of curse, there will be a murder every seven days, which makes Li Xiang feel even more strange is that most of the dead are middle school students in school, and what makes people feel creepy is that there is only a large amount of blood and a human organ at the murder scene.

Li Xiang, who was sitting in a speeding car, kept thinking about clues related to the case, but the only clues couldn't piece together any effective information at all. Li Xiang rubbed his swollen temples, closed his eyes and let out a sigh gently, since he was ordered to investigate the case, he slept no more than five hours a day, and his team members also worked tirelessly to run through the streets and alleys, but they still found nothing, the most fatal thing was that the murder occurred twice in a row under his nose, if nothing else, now this is the third case.

The car quickly stopped in front of the gate of an abandoned warehouse, after Li Xiang got out of the car, he showed his ID to the police officer in charge of guarding, and walked quickly inside, not a few steps forward, a policeman in civilian clothes in the distance waved at him, Li Xiang nodded and quickened his pace.

"Team Li and the deceased were preliminarily judged to be a fifteen-year-old female student, in addition to a large amount of blood stains at the scene, a broken foot was also found, which is the same as the previous two cases, I think it is the same murderer."

Before Li Xiang came closer, the male policeman who beckoned had already quickly reported the case, and as expected, Li Xiang sighed heavily, secretly thinking that this murderer was really arrogant!

"Notify other people, pay close attention to the sparsely populated areas around the crime, make every effort to find the whereabouts of the victims, and apply for a combined investigation of these cases."

"Received, I'll let you know."

The male policeman saluted and turned to leave, and Li Xiang put on a mask and gloves and rushed into the scene to search for clues. An hour later, Li Xiang walked to the car disappointedly, took out a cigarette from his trouser pocket, and quietly looked at the abandoned warehouse in front of him.

"Ringing bells... Ringing bells..."

A series of mobile phone ringtones interrupted Li Xiang's thoughts, he picked up the phone and glanced at it, a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and quickly threw the unfinished cigarette in his hand on the ground and stepped on it, answered the phone and said seriously.

"Leader, I'm at the scene of the murder right now..."

At night, the road is full of travelers who are hurrying home, the office building of the police station is still brightly lit, and the bloody and terrifying scene photos are constantly scrolling in front of the display screen in the conference room, and the faces of the people below are solemn and do not make a sound. In the afternoon, after reporting the case to the leaders, Li Xiang immediately convened a meeting of all the personnel, and everyone analyzed and discussed all the clues collected in the recent period one by one, but there has been no progress so far.

Li Xiang's brows were almost twisted, 21 days have passed since the incident, and the three victims have not found anything other than the organs left at the scene, as if they have evaporated from the world. The three murder scenes were almost identical, and the victim's blood spread to the ground three meters away from the surrounding area with the remnants as the center, and the amount of bleeding was assessed to be beyond the range that the human body could bear, which means that the victim was almost dead nine times out of ten, and the possibility of survival was almost zero.

The most strange thing is that in addition to the victim's footprints and fingerprints, no trace of a second person was found at the scene, there was no trace at all, with the assistance of professional equipment, this result made everyone even more confused, could it be that the victim killed himself and then left by himself?

The atmosphere in the conference room became more and more quiet and solemn, a layer of invisible mist quietly covered everyone's hearts, Li Xiang covered his head with his hands and almost collapsed, the deadline had been given above, if there was no progress, it would be small to be scolded and punished, and it was a big deal to discredit himself with this police uniform. After a while, Li Xiang readjusted his state, looked up at the tired people in the seat, a trace of unbearability flashed in his heart, he took a deep breath, and said slowly.

"You have worked hard during this time, but the case has not been solved for a day, and we have not had a good day, tonight I will let everyone get off work early, go back and have a good rest, and go all out to solve the case tomorrow."

After speaking, Li Xiang got up and walked out of the conference room and went straight to his office, then sat on the sofa and began to read the relevant materials of the case, preparing to stay up late tonight and re-sort out the case to see if he could find a new breakthrough. I don't know how long it took, Li Xiang fell asleep like this, and at this moment, I don't know who whispered to him in his ear, Li Xiang opened his eyes in a daze, looked up, and this glance startled him.

I don't know when there was a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy standing in front of him, the boy was stained red with blood all over his body, and there was no right hand on his right arm, the boy saw that Li Xiang was awake, and raised his left hand to signal him to go with him. Li Xiang got up slowly uncontrollably, and when he got up slowly, he suddenly found that at this time, I don't know when there were two bloody people standing at the door, a girl with a broken foot and a girl without eyes.

Li Xiang reacted quickly and immediately saw that these three people were the victims who did not see the body, but why did he suddenly find himself, Li Xiang, who had been handling the case for many years in the face of such a scene, did not panic too much, and subconsciously thought about whether it would help solve the case. While his mind was racing, his body unconsciously followed the three victims out of the office, and then went straight through the solid wall, and without waiting for him to prepare, he came to the scene of the first murder in the next second.

Li Xiang looked at the scene in front of him dumbfounded, only to see that on the top of the unfinished building, a girl was standing on the edge of the roof and swaying back and forth, as if she had been poured a lot of wine. The girl didn't shake for long, jumped down, and then the scene changed, and she came to the courtyard of the unfinished building, and the girl who was bleeding from the seven orifices did not die immediately, but saw her whole person rise up in the air strangely, and the blood dripped on the ground and flowed around. After a while, the blood was drained, Li Xiang looked at all this in front of him and was even more puzzled, from beginning to end he didn't see the murderer at all, the girl slowly stretched out her hands and buckled her eyes, threw them on the ground, and after doing it, the girl covered her neck in pain and disappeared.

Such a scene was staged twice in front of Li Xiang in succession, namely the death process of the other two victims, but he never found the shadow of the murderer, these three victims seemed to commit suicide, but the strange death process did not look like suicide. He thought in his heart, this kind of suicide method similar to some kind of ritual is more like being controlled remotely, to be precise, it is someone who lowered his head or descended into a Gu, this explanation seems to be the most reasonable at present.

When Li Xiang came back to his senses and was about to learn more about the details of the case, the person had already returned to the office, he immediately looked around, and found that the bloody man just now had disappeared. When he adjusted his state and looked around again, he realized that he had fallen asleep in the pile of papers at some point, but would the dream be so real?

"Team Li, I brought you breakfast."

The office door was pushed open, a policewoman walked in, put breakfast on the table and skillfully cleaned up the things in the room, Li Xiang smiled and said thank you, got up and prepared to wash. At this moment, a male policeman barged in in a panic, with an excited look on his face, talking as he ran.

"Team Li, the body has been found!"

Li Xiang's body then shook, and his eyes gradually lit up.

In the woods of the barren mountains on the outskirts of the city, three corpses hung next to each other on a tree, except for some human organs left at the first scene before, all the others were here. Li Xiang watched several forensic experts busy checking them, and his mood was extremely lost, because he still didn't find anything, although he firmly believed that this was a premeditated murder, but he had run out of patience.
