Chapter VIII: Case 1 (1)

It rained all night last night, and the clouds and rain cleared in the morning, the sun was shining, and the air was very fresh.

Wallace went home last night and took a closer look at it, and let No. 1 record it, and got up at 5:10 in the morning to practice the secret boxer exercise method and practice meditation.

In the future, it is estimated that the normal situation will be to practice at this point, finish the cultivation at 7:10 and start eating, 10 minutes to eat, 3 minutes to sort out clothes and guns, 23 to go out, and arrive at the chief police station on time before 7:30.

Anna Uria arrived at the door panting, and he greeted him with a slight smile: "Good morning, Security Officer Anna, don't mind if I call you that, right?"

Anna Uria looked at Wallace and waited for her breathing to calm down before she said, "I don't mind at all, good morning, Security Officer Wallace." ”

Wallace asked with a hint of curiosity on his face, "Do you live far away?" ”

"It's okay, I live in the church district, it's not too far and it's not too close, and the steam carriage is too expensive, so I can't only run here, so I'm in a bit of a hurry, and I've been looking for a suitable house recently, and I guess it's good to settle down in a few days. ”

Anna Uria said helplessly with a frown.

Wallace said, "I'm living close to each other, a few minutes away. Or I'll help you find a suitable house nearby after work. ”

Anna Uria had a flash of inspiration in her head, and then said:

"Then I want to thank you, by the way, is there any room in the house you live in? Why don't you introduce the landlord and I talk to the landlord about the rent?"

Wallace thought for a moment and asked, "Do you know how to cook?"

"What? I will, I cook generally. Anna Uria replied subconsciously.

As soon as Wallace heard that cooking was average, he immediately changed his mind, after all, people who say that cooking is not good at cooking.

Wallace said: "Eh~ Then forget it, I am the owner, the room is empty to two rooms, if you want to come to live, you can just look at the rent, how about it?"

"Thank you, Security Officer Wallace, then I'll go home and pack up after work today, and try to move here tonight. ”

Anna Uria breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Wallace agree, and her left hand gently pulled the scattered strands of hair at the corners of her forehead, her face beaming with joy.

The two chatted while walking, and after a while, they arrived at the office area......

Carat Neighborhood

A man was so frightened that he lost his soul and ran to the police duty point to report the case, there were only two police officers on duty at the duty point, one police officer on duty reported the incident with a wired phone, and the other hurriedly went to the scene with the reporter.

Wallace and Anna Uria hurried to see the case registered.

The entire house has been cordoned off, and all but five officers have been left behind in the other two blocks plus the duty point in this neighborhood.

When the two arrived, a police officer named Cole immediately greeted them and led them into the crime scene.

First of all, the internal organs of the two corpses at the scene were hollowed out, the corpses were also gnawed to the ground, the hands and feet were gone, the whole corpse was missing, and the ground was full of scraps of clothes, and it could only be seen from the fragments of clothes that it was a man and a woman.

According to Mr. Carter, a husband and wife, one of whom is also a friend of his, had made an appointment to go to work together today.

But when he came here in the morning, he saw that the door was only hidden and not closed, and he knocked on the door and shouted a few times, but no one answered.

Suddenly, he saw strange bloody footprints on the ground, so he was worried about his friend's safety, so he pushed open the door and followed the strange footprints and walked in.

Wallace asked, as customary, "Senior Constable Cole, what did you find at the scene?"

Wallace thought for a moment, paused and replied: "Footprints can be seen at the scene, but the strange thing is that the footprints extend from under the side of the bed, only the footprints that go out, and there are no footprints that come in, and these blood-stained footprints are very peculiar, not normal human feet." ”

Senior Officer Cole pointed to the footprints at the scene, and continued: "The footprints at the scene have five fingers, but the footprints are large and webbed between the fingers, which are obviously not the footprints of normal humans."

Only some amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals have webbing between their fingers, and they don't look like the fins used for swimming, but more like the flippers of amphibian frogs. ”

Senior Officer Cole sniffed the scene and continued, "The murderer should have sneaked in during the day because there was no passage under the bed."

And there was a strong fishy smell under the bed, and although the smell of blood was even stronger in the room, there was also a hint of fishy smell. ”

Wallace sniffed it carefully, and there was indeed a hint of fish, but it was masked by the heavier smell of blood.

He and Anna Uria went around the scene, taking a closer look at the various places, as well as the two corpses.

Wallace called out to the auxiliary brain in his heart: "One, is there any file about similar footprints?" ”

One quickly replied, "Yes, the Thirty-Eight Deep Dive Tribe Archives have similar footprints to the One Hundred and Seventy-Two Frogman Archives. ”

"Oh my God!!" an exclamation came from the basement.

A police officer was looking for clues, and when he entered the basement and turned on the gas light in the basement, he was stunned by the scene in front of him.

Wallace and the others quickly rushed to the basement when they heard the exclamation, and the two junior police officers next to Wallace immediately ran outside and vomited.

Blood had stained the entire basement floor, and the ground was full of internal organs and stumps, and the entire basement was stained with blood under the light of the gas lamp, and the scene was like purgatory on earth.

The corners of Wallace's eyes twitched, his stomach began to roll, and when he turned his head from side to side, he was left alone in the entire basement, and the rest of the people were running outside and vomiting.

Carefully avoiding the stumps and entrails on the ground, he walked alone to the center of the basement.

It appears to be an altar depicting a six-pointed star, with ripples symbolizing water and tadpole-like runes scattered around the entire six-pointed star.

In the center of the six-pointed star is a small wooden statue, the wooden statue is very vaguely carved, and it can only be vaguely seen that the carving seems to be a half-fish, half-human existence.

Wallace thought for a moment, but really didn't know what it was, so he asked, "Number one, is there any record of this altar-like thing in the database?"

"There is no relevant information. "The No. 1 Auxiliary Intelligence Brain responded quickly.

Anna Uria and several police officers had already vomited and came to Wallace's side, but the expressions of several people were obviously still a little uncomfortable.

Wallace pointed to what looked like an altar in front of him and said, "Does anyone know what this thing is?"

Several police officers shook their heads, but only Anna Uria circled around the six-pointed star, turned her head to look at Wallace and said, "It's inconvenient to say this here." She then motioned for several officers to leave the basement.

After she waited for a few people to go out, she whispered to Wallace, "It's just a tampered sacrificial circle, and this statue should be the object of sacrifice." ”

"It's just that the level of the wooden statue carving is so poor that I can't tell if it's an evil god or a demon. By the way, you come with me. ”

After she finished speaking, she pulled Wallace out of the basement, and came to the bedroom and rummaged around as if she was looking for something, and after a while, she didn't seem to find it, and she didn't hear it: "How can it not be, how can it not be, where is it placed?"

"By the way, where is the study?" she asked, turning her head to look at the officers.

Senior Officer Cole didn't even think about it and blurted out subconsciously: "The study is on the right side of the second floor, and there is a door number on it." ”

"You guys take the basement for the record, then clean it up, and don't move the six-pointed star and the statue. ”

Anna Uria dragged Wallace down the stairs to the study on the second floor, leaving a message.
