Many mysteries have perverted hobbies. For example, the ghost-faced man from before would eat the person's face until it was blurred, and then eat other parts of the body.
A creature that likes to cut off people's fingers... He has never heard of it.
"Where are the blood stains at the scene?" Lin Qiye pondered for a moment, then raised his head and asked.
"There were not many blood stains left at the scene. Most of them were caused by the severing of the fingers. The blood stains flowed from the wall to the ground. It is recorded in the photos."
Xiao Hei bent down and picked up two photos from beside the number plate and handed them to Lin Qiye's hand.
Lin Qiye looked at it carefully for a while, frowning slightly, "Strange..."
"What's wrong?"
"Don't you think the amount of blood is a little small?" Lin Qiye pointed to the blood stains in the photo, which were only a small puddle on the wall and under the body of the deceased.
"There are not too many blood vessels connected to human fingers. Even if they are cut off, it will not cause arterial bleeding. It is understandable that there are not many blood stains." Xiao Hei said.
Lin Qiye narrowed his eyes and said nothing.
"Anyway, let's take a look at the video recorder first. That may be the only clue that can help us find the 'mysterious' one." Wen Qimo led Lin Qiye into the tavern, and Xiao Hei took out the video recorder from the evidence bag.
Passed it to the two of them.
Turn on the video recorder and the video starts playing.
The first thing that caught my eye was a greasy man from the Mediterranean. He was playing with the video recorder curiously, with a slight blush on his cheeks. He looked like he had drunk too much.
"This is the owner of the tavern. They were having a cocktail party the night before yesterday and it was very lively." Xiao Hei explained at the side.
The tavern owner seemed to have figured out the video recorder. He held it in his hand and filmed the lively scene of the entire reception. I have to say that the reception was really good. There were many guests who came to cheer, and many of them were young and beautiful.
girl.
"The next few hours are all insignificant scenes of the cocktail party. You can just move to the back and watch." Xiao Hei pressed the fast forward button.
The reception ended quickly, leaving the tavern in a mess. The boss took out the video recorder. His whole face was red. He looked like he had drunk a lot, and he started to feel dizzy when he walked.
It was precisely 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 recording. He 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 picture on the video recorder fluctuated strangely, as if it was disturbed by something. It was bright and dark, and finally fell into darkness completely.
Lin Qiye frowned and looked up at Xiao Hei, who shook his head and motioned for him to continue reading.
The screen went black for about ten seconds, and then the picture reappeared. The camera's shooting angle seemed to have shifted slightly. No, it should be said that the angle of the entire bar had shifted slightly, as if something had hit it.
In the picture, the situation in the backyard can be captured through the door leading to the backyard. However, the backyard is open-air, there are no lights installed, and it is dark. Therefore, when the lights in the pub are bright, the backyard in the distance is a bit blurry.
Unclear.
But this did not prevent them from seeing clearly what happened next.
Sun Xiao, who was wearing waiter's clothes, seemed to be grabbed by some invisible force and pressed against the wall of the backyard. It was as if someone had choked his throat and was lifted up in the air bit by bit.
middle.
His limbs were dancing wildly in mid-air, as if he was struggling.
Immediately afterwards, iron nails bounced up from the ground in the distance and plunged into his body, nailing him to the wall. Sun Xiao opened his mouth wide, as if he was howling in pain.
.
Although the distance was very far and due to the light, it was difficult to see the details clearly from the perspective of the video recorder, but if they looked carefully, 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 Sun Xiao's heart directly.
Sun Xiao's body trembled, his head lowered, and he remained motionless.
After another minute or two, the picture completely fell into darkness. It must be that after a long period of shooting, the video recorder ran out of power.
After watching this video, Lin Qiye walked to the place where the video recorder was originally placed and looked in the direction of the backyard, seeming to be thinking about something.
"Something's wrong..."
Wen Qimo and Xiao Hei looked at each other, "What's wrong?"
"In the video, the deceased's fingers were not cut off at once, but disappeared bit by bit... But in the autopsy report, it was said that his fingers were smoothly cut off by some kind of sharp instrument."
Wen Qimo pondered for a moment, "The picture is too far away and we can't see all the details. Maybe he used a knife to cut off his fingers bit by bit, like cutting a carrot, and finally cut to the root of the finger?"
"Where are the fingers?" Lin Qiye narrowed his eyes, "Where did the severed fingers go?"
"Maybe he was eaten?"
"Like eating a steak, cut it into a piece and take a bite?" Lin Qiye shook her head, "If so, this mysterious one is too sentimental."
Later, Lin Qiye asked again: "What time did the cocktail party end last night?"
"Two thirty in the morning."
"The time can match..." Lin Qiye pondered for a moment, "There are no cameras nearby?"
"The only camera is at the east street entrance, but it can only capture the exterior of the pub from a distance, and cannot see the inside. We have also adjusted the picture, but during the time of the crime, there were no other suspicious people approaching.
."
"It seems from the picture that the deceased once shouted. Did the nearby residents hear it? Can we rely on this to confirm the specific time of death?"
Xiao Hei shook his head, "There are commercial areas around here. At the time of the incident, all the surrounding stores were closed and there was no one around here at all."
Lin Qiye fell into deep thought again.
For some reason, he always felt that... this incident was weird, but he couldn't tell where exactly it was.
He still needs more information and more thinking.
"Anyway, we can now confirm that there is a 'mysterious' wandering around here. From the video, we can deduce some of its characteristics." Wen Qimo said,
"Has the ability to become invisible or control objects, likes to cut off people's fingers, and can have a weak effect on surrounding electronic devices."
Wen Qimo sighed, "This range is a bit too broad. I don't know how long it will take to filter out the 'mysteries' that meet these conditions..."
At this moment, Lin Qiye seemed to have thought of something and spoke again:
"Didn't I say that three similar cases happened before? Where are the relevant files?"
"Because the previous three cases did not exhibit 'mysterious' characteristics, they were all taken over by the local police station and treated as ordinary serial murder investigations. We also have relevant files and will show them to you in a moment.
"Wen Qimo said.
Lin Qiye thought for a while, "If possible, I would like to see their bodies in person.
