Chapter 219: Video
"What do you mean......" Lin Qiye thought thoughtfully.
Many mysteries will have perverted hobbies, such as the previous ghost-faced man, who would first gnaw the face to a blur after killing someone, and then eat the rest of the body.
Creatures that like to cut human fingers...... He hadn't really heard of it.
"Where's the bloodstains at the scene?" Lin Qiye pondered for a moment, then raised his head and asked.
"There wasn't much blood left at the scene, most of it was bleeding from the severed fingers, and the blood flowed from the wall to the ground, which was recorded in those photos."
Xiao Hei bent down and picked up two photos from the side of the number plate and handed them to Lin Qiye's hand.
Lin Qiye looked at it carefully for a while, his brows furrowed slightly, "Strange ......"
"What's wrong?"
"Don't you think it's a bit of a small amount of bleeding?" Lin Qiye pointed to the blood stains on the photo, only a small pool on the wall and under the deceased.
"There are not too many blood vessels connected to a person's finger, and even if they are cut off, it will not cause the effect of massive arterial bleeding, and it is understandable that there are not many blood stains." Xiao Hei said.
Lin Qiye narrowed his eyes and did not speak.
"Anyway, take a look at the VCR first, that may be the only clue that can help us find that 'mysterious'." Wen Qimo took Lin Qiye into the tavern, Xiao Hei took out the video recorder from the evidence bag and handed it to the two.
Turn on the video recorder and the video starts playing.
The first thing that caught my eye was a greasy man from the Mediterranean, who was curiously fiddling with the VCR, his cheeks flushed slightly, and he looked like he had drunk too much.
"This is the owner of the tavern, they were having a drinking party the night before, and it was very lively." Blackie explained.
The tavern owner seems to have figured out the VCR, holds it in his hand, and shoots the whole lively picture of the party, I have to say, this party is really good, and there are many guests who come to cheer, and many of them are young and beautiful girls.
"The next few hours were all inconsequential footage of the drinking party, and you can just tune in to the back to see it." Blackie presses the fast-forward button.
The party was soon over, leaving a mess in the tavern, and the boss took down the VCR, his whole face was flushed, and he looked like he had drunk a lot, and he began to flutter when he walked.
It was for this reason that he threw the video recorder on the bar in a daze, forgot to turn it off, and even forgot to stop the recording, and simply explained a few words to the waiter Sun Xiao, and staggered out of the door.
For the next half hour, Sun Xiao was cleaning up the tavern.
Suddenly, the video recorder's image fluctuated strangely, as if it had been disturbed by something, sometimes bright and sometimes dark, and finally completely plunged into darkness.
Lin Qiye frowned and looked up at Xiao Hei, who shook his head and motioned for him to continue.
The screen went black for about ten seconds, and the screen reappeared, and the camera seemed to be shooting at a slightly off-angle angle, no, I should say that the entire bar was slightly off-angle, as if something had hit it.
In the picture, the backyard can be photographed through the door leading to the backyard, but the backyard is open-air, no lights are installed, and it is dim, so when the tavern is brightly lit, the backyard in the distance is a little blurry.
But that doesn't stop them from seeing what's next.
I saw that Sun Xiao, who was wearing waiter's clothes, seemed to be grabbed by some invisible force, pressed to the wall of the backyard, as if he was stuck in his throat, and was lifted up in the air little by little.
His limbs danced wildly in mid-air, as if struggling.
Immediately after, one after another iron nails automatically bounced off the ground in the distance, slammed into his body, and nailed it to the wall, Sun Xiao opened his mouth wide, as if he was howling in pain.
Although the distance was very far, coupled with the light, it was difficult to see the details from the perspective of the video recorder, but when they looked closely, they could still see that Sun Xiao's fingers seemed to be getting shorter and shorter, and finally disappeared completely.
Then, the last iron nail flew up and pierced directly into Sun Xiao's heart.
Sun Xiao's body trembled, his head lowered, and he didn't move.
After another minute or two, the picture was completely plunged into darkness, presumably after a long period of shooting, and the video recorder ran out of power.
After watching this video, Lin Qiye walked to the location where the video recorder was originally placed, looked in the direction of the backyard, and seemed to be pondering something.
"Something is wrong......"
Wen Qimo and Xiao Hei glanced at each other, "What's wrong?" "
In the video, the deceased's fingers are not cut off at once, but disappear little by little...... However, in the autopsy report, it was said that his finger had been smoothly severed by some sharp object. "
Wen Qimo pondered for a moment, "The picture is too far away, we can't see all the details, maybe it's with a knife, like cutting a carrot, cutting off the fingers little by little, and finally cutting to the root of the fingers?" "
"What about the fingers?" Lin Qiye narrowed his eyes, "Where did the severed finger go?" "
"Maybe it's been eaten?"
"Like a steak, do you cut a section and take a bite?" Lin Qiye shook his head, "If that's the case, this mysterious one is too emotional." "
Then, Lin Qiye asked again, "When did last night's drinking party end?" "
"Half past two in the morning."
"Time can match ......" Lin Qiye pondered for a moment, "There are no cameras nearby?" "
"The only camera is at the street entrance to the east, but we can only shoot the exterior of the tavern from a distance, and we can't see the inside, and we have also called up the picture, but at the time of the crime, there were no other suspicious people waiting for the approach."
"Judging from the picture, the deceased used to shout, did the residents in this neighborhood hear it? Can this be relied upon to confirm the exact time of death? "
Xiao Hei shook his head, "This neighborhood is all commercial areas, and at the time of the crime, the surrounding stores were closed, and there was no one in this vicinity at all." "
Lin Qiye fell into contemplation again.
For some reason, he always felt ...... This incident was strange, but he couldn't say what the blame was.
He also needs more information, more thinking.
"Anyway, it's now been determined that there's a 'mystery' roaming around here, and judging from the footage, some of its properties can be deduced." Wen Qimo said,
"It has the ability to be invisible or control objects, likes to cut off people's fingers, and can have a weak impact on surrounding electronic devices."
Wen Qimo sighed, "This range is a bit too broad, I don't know how long it will take to screen out the 'mysterious' ...... that meet these conditions."
At this moment, Lin Qiye seemed to think of something, and spoke again:
"Didn't you say that there had been three more cases of the same kind before? Where is the relevant dossier? "
"The previous three cases were all taken over by the local police because they did not reveal their 'mysterious' characteristics, and they were regarded as ordinary serial homicide investigations, and we also have relevant files, and we will show you later." Wen Qimo said.
Lin Qiye thought for a moment, "If I can, I want to see their corpses in person." "
