Indeed, if they go by their assumptions, then two people were nailed to that wall that night. However, the blood analysis at the scene only showed Sun Xiao's blood. In this case, their assumptions would not work.
.
"Moreover, if a second deceased person appeared that night, where is his body?" Lin Qiye continued, "He was wearing the waiter uniform of this tavern, but none of the other waiters died.
...Who exactly is it?"
When their reasoning reached this point, both of them began to suspect that their reasoning was wrong, but if this was not the case, they could not explain the direction of the wounds on the corpse...
The case became more and more complicated and confusing.
Just as the two of them were deep in thought, Lin Qiye's cell phone rang. He took out his cell phone and took a look, and a bright light appeared in his eyes.
"The deputy team member said that they found some clues about this 'mysterious' animal. I have to go back." Lin Qiye put away his phone and said to An Qingyu, "I also showed you the body. It's time for you to leave."
An Qingyu sighed helplessly, "This case is more complicated than I thought. There are too few things that can be analyzed from these four corpses... I think I have to go to the crime scene to take another look.
"
"This is my phone number. If you find anything, call me."
"...I didn't seem to say I wanted to help you solve the case, right? I just wanted to take a look at the body." An Qingyu had a strange expression.
Lin Qiye turned his head and stared into An Qingyu's eyes without saying a word.
An Qingyu smiled bitterly and said, "Okay, I understand. Since you didn't hand me over to the night watchman, I will tell you as soon as I find out."
"Um."
…
Peace Office.
underground.
At the long table, all the members of Team 136 have arrived. Wu Xiangnan holds a thick stack of information in his hand, his eyes full of seriousness.
"After Qi Mo reported to me the 'mysterious' characteristics of Dongcheng the day before yesterday, I immediately investigated the Night Watch's internal database and tried to find out what it was..."
For the Night Watchmen, the most important step in dealing with mysterious events is to confirm the identity of the "mystery". Once you confirm what the "mystery" is, you can roughly know its abilities, strength, habits and weaknesses.
For some mysterious events, the identity of the "mysterious" is clear at a glance, such as the ghost-faced man and the fire-veined earth dragon. However, there are also "mysterious" events where it is difficult to find out the specific identity from the event itself, such as the Nanda snake demon.
And this mysterious one right now.
"According to Wen Qimo's keywords, 'invisibility', 'air control', 'finger cutting' and 'electronic device interference', I didn't find any mystery that met this condition. The only one that touched on it was 'Ten
"Cut the Ghost Boy", but it does not have the ability to "stealth" and "control objects through the air", and its intelligence is low, so it cannot handle such a complicated case.
In other words, what we are facing this time is probably a mystery that has never been recorded."
Wu Xiangnan distributed the information in his hand to everyone, his expression became solemn.
"Subsequently, I searched for rituals related to finger-severing murders and nailing to walls, and found some incredible clues."
Lin Qiye took a piece of information, opened it and read it, frowning slightly.
"A long time ago, before the fog came, there was an ancient rumor from a small religion in the West. The rumor told about a ritual for the advancement of evil spirits. This ritual was used to reshape those weak evil ghosts into powerful ones.
As for ghosts, in history, there were indeed two ghosts who passed this ceremony and were directly promoted from the Sichuan realm to the Sea realm.
If you want to complete this ritual, you must sacrifice a human soul every two days, cut off their ten fingers within ten seconds before killing them, and your feet cannot touch the ground when they die. The time of death must be
At three thirty-three in the morning."
Lin Qiye narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw the time. The forensic doctor's estimate of the death time of the corpse in the tavern was between three and four in the morning, which was quite correct.
And from a technical point of view, it is completely consistent with the ceremony.
"After the souls of five humans are sacrificed in succession, the ritual will be initially completed. As long as a large amount of soul power is injected, the weak evil ghost will be reborn through the ritual and become a truly powerful ghost..."
"Soul power?" Hongying scratched her head in confusion.
"You can understand it as sacrificing the souls of hundreds of ordinary people. Of course, this is just a question of the total number of souls. It does not necessarily require so many people. Some people's souls themselves are extremely powerful and can support several people.
Ten, such as the people who own the Forbidden Ruins, or even the 'mystery' itself."
"You mean, if it wants to complete the ritual, it has to kill five people and then kill hundreds of people at once?" Chen Muye's face darkened.
"That's right, and there are strict requirements for the location where the ceremony will be performed." Wu Xiangnan continued, "The information in your hands has already given a picture of the location where the ceremony will be performed."
Lin Qiye turned over the information in his hand. Sure enough, there was a photo on the page. The photo showed a pattern carved on an ancient stone tablet. Five black dots were distributed in a position similar to five stars, with lines between them.
They are connected, and there are some crooked characters written on the lines, which seem to be annotating something.
"Combining the locations of the previous four cases, I built a plane model and substituted the ritual location in this photo to deduce the approximate location where the last ritual took place."
Wu Xiangnan took out a map and drew a small circle with a red pen at a certain location on it.
"High-end residential area?" Wen Qimo asked in surprise when he saw the scope of this small circle.
"That's right." Wu Xiangnan nodded, "According to the steps of the ritual, it will definitely sacrifice the fifth deceased here, then kill hundreds of people, meet the conditions for soul sacrifice, and then be promoted to the 'sea' realm."
"Judging from the time, it will take action tonight...that is, at 3:33 tomorrow morning." Lin Qiye said in a deep voice.
Immediately afterwards, everyone turned to look at Chen Muye.
Chen Muye nodded and spoke slowly: "In this case, our next stage of action is very clear. The scope of this red area is not large. Tonight, the seven of us are scattered in different directions, monitoring the people here at all times.
Condition.
Once someone discovers the 'mysterious' traces, send a signal immediately, and within twenty seconds, all of us can arrive at the scene and kill them.
This is a residential area, and the crime was committed in the early morning. If it wants to kill so many people at once, it must be prepared...
Everyone, please prepare, we will set out early and stay there, maybe we can catch it before the ceremony starts."
