"The location of the case is Lidong, Yashan District."
"Victim, male, thirteen years old, cause of death, suffocation."
There is nothing unusual about the description on the title page of the dossier. It seems to be just an ordinary case. Only the age of the deceased makes people feel a little regretful. Life has just begun and is coming to an end.
But when everyone saw the detailed description of the case on the next page, they all gasped. Even the well-informed elder Li Shu could not help but frown.
"The description of the case scene shows that the deceased was wearing a red dress, his hands and feet were tied, and he was suspended from the beams of the house. There was an iron weight hanging from his feet. No signs of fighting were found in the house, and no items were found missing."
Below the text is a hand-drawn color picture of the scene. The little boy's head is tilted back, and his whole body is revealing a dark red color. The huge weight pulls his body straight, so that the hemp ropes binding his hands and feet are even.
Deeply embedded in the flesh.
There was no furniture in the room, and there was no low stool for people to stand on. It was as if someone was flying in the air and hanging the little boy on the beam.
The whole picture is so vivid that it can be said to describe all the details of the case scene, but it is this vividness that makes everyone feel an indescribable weirdness.
There is not much valuable information in the subsequent files, just the deceased's interpersonal network and the confessions of some witnesses.
The little boy's family is extremely ordinary, even poor. Apart from interacting with his parents and a few neighbors, he doesn't have any suspicious suspects.
Although the case seemed not that simple, for Metallurgical City with a population of tens of millions, it was indeed a type that could be investigated or not investigated, so at the end of the file, it was classified as suicide and the case was hastily closed.
"Don't look at me like this. Our case division handles hundreds of cases every day. There are countless cases that are more cruel than this one. This victim has no enemies and is not involved in any conflict of forces. It is also okay to characterize it as suicide."
The result of reasonable analysis.”
Deacon Jin spread his hands, and Li Mu also understood that what the other party said was true. After all, the resources of the case office were limited, and it was impossible to waste manpower and material resources on such a "small case".
"What do you think? Is it the organization's method? But why would they attack a civilian boy with no background?"
Seeing Li Mu constantly flipping through the materials in the file, Xiao Taomaan stepped aside and asked questions quietly. She also felt that there was an aura of mystery in this case, but she could not deny the judgment of the prosecutor.
"I don't know yet. The Blood organization has many tricks. I've seen them turn the residents of an entire village into the living dead before. I just have a vague feeling that this case is not simple and deserves our investigation."
After another half day, the team found no other clues from the file, so Li Mu decided to start with the bizarre case of the boy in red to see if there was a "blood" organization behind it.
.
Under the introduction of Deacon Jin, Li Mu and the others met the man who was responsible for the autopsy of the boy in red. The little old man in a white coat received the team very friendly.
"You are talking about that case. I remember that the little boy was only a teenager. What a pity. The cause of death was suffocation. The weight on his feet pulled all the muscles in his body, and the severe pain caused him to lose his breath.
ability."
Because it was a recent bizarre case, the little old man still vividly remembered the details. From the author's perspective, there was nothing suspicious about the body itself. On the contrary, the motive for the suicide was really puzzling.
"Are there any strange places on the body? For example, small wounds, the most inconspicuous ones?"
There wasn't much gained from the exchange. Just as he was about to leave, Li Mu's mind flashed through some clips from crime dramas in his previous life, so he subconsciously asked.
"Hiss... there are indeed small wounds. There is a small pinprick near the deceased's Tianling Cap, buried deep under the hair. It is difficult to find. However, it is not a fatal injury. It may have been caused by playing around.
of."
The other party's words made Li Mu fall into deep thought again. In his previous life, he had read many online novels about evil spells, which had detailed descriptions of various beheadings and curses.
However, these plots are all fabricated by the author. On earth, they are indeed just reading materials for after-dinner entertainment, and they cannot come true at all.
But now that I have traveled to the fairy world, flying with swords and ancient beasts are all existences that I could not even imagine in my previous life. So, does this evil magic of attracting souls with silver needles also really exist?
"It seems that we need to go to the crime scene." After getting permission from Deacon Jin, the team rushed to the scene of the boy in red case. It was an old residential area, winding through it.
After passing through several small alleys, everyone saw the low building in the picture.
"It's so cold."
Before he even got close to the low building, Bai Jingting sneezed. It was noon, and the weather that felt warm just now suddenly turned cold.
"It's really dark. The houses here block each other and the sunlight doesn't come in at all. There's also a faint yin energy flowing around."
Li Mu raised his head and looked at his surroundings. Without saying anything more, he led his team into the low building.
Since the case of the boy in red, the extremely sad family members could no longer live here, so the family moved to other cities, and this already lifeless small building became even more lifeless.
After walking up the stone stairs to the second floor, Li Mu saw the crime scene in the painting. Although it had been cleaned by the case officer, he could still see the thick beams on the roof and half of the hemp rope hanging on them.
"There is an indescribable weirdness here. I feel like everything is filled with the air of death, but sometimes and sometimes not, and there are no traces of any monks coming."
Elder Li Shu was the first to notice the strangeness in the room. After being reminded, everyone also expressed the same feeling. If I had to use one word to describe the crime scene, it would be awkward.
That's right, there was nothing wrong with it on the surface, but it always felt awkward. Although no fluctuations in the vitality of heaven and earth were detected, Li Mu became more and more certain that there must be some unknown secret hidden in this case.
"This place is too clean. It's abnormally clean. Let's spread out and take a look around. Don't let go of any clues."
The team were all powerful monks, and they all disappeared in an instant, leaving only Li Mu standing in the center of the room, looking up at the hemp rope hanging quietly in mid-air.
