Just as I was chatting with the old man, there was a sudden sound of brakes at the door, and a jeep stopped at the door.
The car door opened, and Xu Yang walked in directly with a solemn look.
Xu Yang is the captain of the Jishui Criminal Police Brigade. He is very busy at ordinary times. He will never come to my place if nothing happens. Moreover, he has a solemn look on his face. You can tell at a glance that something has happened.
Could it be that there was another victim in that case!
My heart moved and I stood up.
"Captain Xu." I nodded and said care to Xu Yang who came in.
"Another one died. Come with me." Xu Yang walked in and said to me directly without any nonsense.
I nodded. Since Xu Yang came to see me, it proves that this case is the same as the last one. He took me to the scene of the first crime. Maybe I will find some evidence there.
"Who died?" I asked Xu Yang, who was driving, as I sat in the car.
"The boss of Chengxi Timber Factory, Huang Bingzhong, died in his office." Xu Yang said while driving.
"How did you die?" I asked him.
"He died after being inserted into his stomach with a wooden stick." Xu Yang frowned slightly.
Hearing his words, I couldn't help but gasp. This way of death is quite miserable. It's like being stabbed into skewers with a stick. I don't think anyone would choose to die in this way.
I didn't speak, I just looked at Xu Yang quietly. I knew that this case would never be that simple.
Sure enough, after a while, Xu Yang spoke again and said: "Forensic examination revealed that Huang Bingzhong used a knife to cut open his stomach before he died, and then took out his liver."
I couldn't help but frown when I heard this. Huang Bingzhong is the owner of the lumber factory, and his liver was taken out. These two pieces of information that seem completely unrelated to outsiders are very meaningful in my eyes.
Among the five elements, the liver belongs to wood, and the last person who died was a kidney, so this is the right number.
Although the causes of death of the two people were different, they should have been caused by the same person or the same thing.
We came to the lumber factory in the west of the city. This factory was quite large and had many warehouses. Xu Yang took me to the office building. There were already many police officers busy there and many workers watching.
Xu Yang said hello to the police and then led me up.
He is the captain of the criminal police team. I followed him and no one came to inquire.
"Huang Bingzhong has done a lot of business in recent years, and he is considered the largest timber merchant in Jishui." Xu Yang said to me as we walked.
I nodded and walked upstairs while constantly observing the surrounding environment.
I know that the police are more professional than me in investigating cases, but this case is not simple, and there is something strange about it. I have some doubts as to whether the murderers in these two cases are human beings.
We walked to the third floor, where Huang Bingzhong's office is.
The office door was open, and there was a police cordon outside. As soon as I walked to the door, the smell of blood hit my nose.
I glanced inside the room and almost threw up.
Inside this originally clean and luxurious office, the blood all over the floor was shocking.
A man was standing in the office, head raised, motionless.
He was wearing a decent suit and was slightly chubby. He looked like a wealthy man.
But now he looks a little miserable, because a wooden stick was inserted into his mouth and drilled directly into his stomach, like a nail, nailing him to the ground.
His stomach was cut open, and colorful things were dripping all over the floor. You could even clearly see the internal organs inside, but there was no liver inside.
Although I am a magician and have even been to the underworld, this is the first time I have seen such a disgusting scene. I tried hard not to spit it out. Even the old policeman Xu Yang couldn't help but frown.
.
I suppressed my nausea and walked in. Except for Huang Bingzhong's body, the room was not messy, but everything was neat.
"The surveillance has been investigated, and no one has entered here except Huang Bingzhong himself," Xu Yang said to me.
I frowned. No one has been here. Could it be that Huang Bingzhong did all this himself?
He first cut his own belly and took out his liver, and then used a stick to skewer himself. This is absolutely impossible, unless there is another existence here that no one can see!
I scanned the surroundings and didn't feel a trace of yin energy, but for some reason, it gave me a strange feeling. It was a strange feeling that I couldn't explain. It was like there was no one in this room except me and Xu.
Besides Yang, there is another existence, but we cannot see him.
I took a look at the wall and saw three words written in blood on the white wall: Wood makes fire.
These three words are the same as the three words on Liang Tian's notebook. They are all formulas for the mutual support and restraint of the five elements. Water produces wood. Liang Tian's kidneys were taken away. The next person to die was Huang Bingzhong. What he lost was his liver, which belongs to wood.
, wood makes fire, then the next person who dies must lose his heart.
Looking at the bloody words on the wall, I couldn't help but frown.
He kept killing people and then taking away their internal organs. What was the purpose of the murderer? Could it be that he was practicing Taoism and refining elixirs as shown in the movie?
But I am a magician, and I know that the so-called use of the five internal organs to make elixirs is nonsense. So what does this person, or this existence, want to do?
I frowned, squatted on the ground, put my hands on the ground, and chanted the soul-calling spell.
But just like the situation in the morgue, Huang Bingzhong's ghost was not found.
He had just died a few hours ago, and his ghost could not have gone away like that.
I stood up and looked around. Huang Bingzhong's ghost was not here. There was only one possibility. After he died, someone took away his ghost!
Thinking of this, my heart suddenly moved and I said to Xu Yang: "Tell me the birth dates of Liang Tian and Huang Bingzhong!"
Xu Yang was stunned for a moment, wondering what I wanted these things for, but he didn't ask any more questions, but picked up the phone and made a call.
Not long after, Xu Yang received a text message and brought it to me. It contained the birth dates of Liang Tian and Huang Bingzhong.
Looking at the numbers above, I did some calculations in my head, and finally made a discovery.
In the two murder cases, the murderer took away the internal organs representing the five elements and left writings on them, so at first I thought he was taking the internal organs to compose the five elements.
But after reading the birthdays of Liang Tian and Huang Bingzhong, I feel that things are not that simple.
Inferring from the Five Elements, Liang Tian has a life of water, while Huang Bingzhong who died in front of him has a life of wood. The point of killing people was not for their internal organs, but for their souls. He wanted to refine their souls!
