The serial blood sacrifice murders that occurred in Shanghai City were not very far from the Shanghai Super Building, only a dozen minutes' drive away from the nearest crime scene.
It is a large comprehensive community with more than 50,000 residents, most of whom are young people "drifting in the sea".
The victim was one of them. She was only 22 years old. She had just graduated from college this year and lived in a single apartment in the community. She was found dead two days later.
When Zuo Yi and two investigators from the Shanghai Super League Bureau rushed to the apartment building, local police officers were stationed there, and cordons were set up in the elevator rooms and safety passages.
After showing their IDs, the three of them were able to enter the room.
This single apartment is very small, less than 40 square meters, but it has a loft-style structure with two floors.
There were no lights on in the room, and the light was a little dim. When you walked in, you could feel the disgusting smell of blood.
Xiao Wang took out several medical masks from his bag, put them on himself first, and then handed one to each of Zuo Yi and Xiao Zhang.
Zuo Yi waved his hand and refused.
He led Tyke to the living room.
Woo~
Tyke let out a low whining sound, filled with vigilance and disgust.
Zuo Yi narrowed his eyes.
I saw that on the synthetic floor covering the living room, a large amount of blood had been painted with complex patterns. The blood lines that had long solidified into dark brown looked unspeakably evil.
Zuo Yi easily recognized that this pattern was the summoning array of alien creatures, but he chose the simplest and most primitive method to arrange it.
The body parts originally placed on it were gone, but he could clearly feel the strong resentment filling this space.
Combined with the photos he had seen before, Zuo Yi could imagine what kind of torture the victim suffered during his lifetime!
Zuo Yi looked at the photo frames hanging on the wall. The protagonist in the photos was a young woman. Her smile was beautiful and lovely, full of youth and sunshine.
"This is the crime scene."
Xiao Zhang, who followed in, said: "This puppy of yours can..."
Zuo Yi suddenly turned around, his cold gaze seemed to condense into substance, instantly piercing the other person's soul!
Xiao Zhang was stunned, and the sarcastic words behind him were stuck in his throat, making his breathing stop.
An inexplicable fear gripped his body and mind, and he felt as if he was falling into a bottomless abyss. His hands and feet were so cold that he completely lost the ability to think, and his mind went blank!
Zuo Yi glanced at him and then withdrew his gaze, squatted down and patted Tyke on the head: "It's up to you."
Woof!
Tyke shook his tail, raised his head and sniffed hard, then turned and ran towards the door.
Zuo Yi stood up and said, "Let's go."
"So fast?"
Xiao Wang, who had just arrived, was a little confused: "Chief Zuo, where are we going now?"
"Just follow it."
Zuo Yi said: "It has memorized the murderer's breath."
Xiao Wang couldn't believe it: "Ah?"
Dogs' sense of smell is 1,200 times that of humans, and their sensitivity to the odor of certain substances is tens of thousands of times that of humans. Trained police dogs are particularly powerful in this regard.
However, in detecting this serial murder case, although the Shanghai and Shanghai police used police dogs, the smell of blood at the scene was too strong, causing the dogs' noses to completely malfunction, so they did not play any role.
Xiao Wang knew the situation of the case very well. Now Zuo Yi came in with a little puppy and stayed for less than half a minute. She said that she remembered the murderer's breath, which made her feel incredible.
Real or fake? Impossible?
Seeing Zuo Yi walking out of the door, Xiao Wang quickly pushed his dumbfounded companion next to him: "Let's go."
This push pushed all of Xiao Zhang's three souls and seven souls back into his body. He let out a deep breath, and his shattered eyes finally refocused, only to find that cold sweat broke out all over his body.
The look Zuo Yi gave him just now was really terrifying!
"What's the matter?"
Xiao Wang noticed something strange about him and asked in surprise: "Why does it look like he has lost his soul?"
"It's okay, it's okay."
Xiao Zhang quickly wiped the sweat from his forehead, feeling chilled all over: "Let's go."
The two followed Zuo Yi and left the apartment building.
Sitting back in the Daqiri, Zuo Yi lowered the passenger window, and Tek held the door open and tried his best to stick his head out of the window.
Because its body is too small, its hind limbs cannot step on the seat, and it is completely hanging on it.
This scene made Xiao Wang couldn't help but want to laugh.
But Xiao Zhang sat upright and trembling, not even daring to take a breath.
Extremely well-behaved and honest.
Zuo Yi didn't pay half of his attention to the two of them. He relied on his mental communication with Tyke to constantly change the direction of travel and walk through the rolling traffic.
After driving for more than half an hour, Daqie entered the old city of Shanghai, which was the area formerly known as the "Magic City".
More than 80% of the modern buildings in Shanghai are gathered here, many of which are cultural relics protection units. Centennial trees can be seen everywhere on both sides of the road, and historic villas, towers and small high-rise buildings silently describe the glory of the past.
Daqie turned into a quiet alley, passed through a long avenue, and at the end of the road was a manor villa!
Zuo Yi slowed down the car.
Xiao Wang opened his eyes wide in surprise: "Why are you here?"
Zuo Yi asked: "Have you been here?"
"Been here once."
Xiao Wang hesitated and said, "In front is Duan's Manor."
The earliest concept of a manor refers to a pastoral house in the countryside, with a large area of grange. Later, it was extended to the territory occupied and managed by royal nobles and wealthy families, and its modern meaning has become broader.
But one thing is the same, that is, the area must be large enough and have enough green space to be called a manor.
In Shanghai, where every inch of land is at a premium, what is the concept of owning a private manor in the old Shanghai metropolis?
A truly wealthy family!
Zuo Yi stopped the car in front of Duan's Manor. He saw a large 囍 character hanging on the carved wrought iron gate, and a row of Rolls-Royce, Bentley, Mercedes-Benz and other top luxury cars parked on the roadside.
The hood of one of the white Rolls-Royces was covered with roses, and in the middle stood a pair of cartoon figures in suits and wedding dresses.
There is no doubt that this is a wedding guest car, and a wedding is being held in Duan's Manor!
Zuo Yi got out of the car and took Tike out.
Woof!
As soon as Tyke landed, he barked at the door.
Zuo Yi nodded and said: "The murderer is inside."
Xiao Wang and Xiao Zhang looked at each other, both of them feeling like the world was falling apart and the end of the world was coming.
This is going to be a big deal!! ——
