I Studied Beheading in a Mental Institution.

"Leave an eternal soul wound..." Merlin thought thoughtfully, "Although I don't know this kind of artifact, from your description, its body should have two attachment attributes of 'eternity' and 'soul' , any weapon involving 'eternity' is very tricky to deal with."

Lin Qiye frowned tightly, "Is there no cure?"

"It's not impossible." Merlin pondered for a moment, then stretched out two fingers, "As far as I can guess, there are probably two ways to heal this kind of wound...

The first one is the most simple and crude, as long as you destroy the body of the Tiancongyun sword, the attributes attached to it will naturally disappear, and the injury will be healed. "

The corner of Lin Qiye's mouth twitched, you call this "simple"?

Go to Gao Tianyuan personally, kill Susanoo, and smash the Amacongyun sword... If he can do this, he is definitely one of the top gods.

For him now, it was tantamount to nonsense.

"What about the second one?"

"The second way is to find another artifact that has the attribute of 'eternity' and can heal injuries at the same time." Merlin said calmly.

"Hmm... Like?"

"I do not know either."

Lin Qiye: ...

Well, of these two solutions, one is less reliable than the other.

"Is there no other way?" Lin Qiye couldn't help asking.

"I can't think of it." Merlin shook his head, "If you insist on the third method, it is to pray for a 'miracle' to happen."

Lin Qiye sighed and stood up from his seat.

"I see, excuse me."

Lin Qiye walked out of the study, looked at the messy nurses in the courtyard, stopped for a moment, and shook his head helplessly.

It seems that it is difficult to help Wu Xiangnan heal the wound on his hand.

……

the next day.

A black van stopped at the entrance of the tavern. Wen Qimo and Lin Qiye got out of the van and walked towards the tavern that had been sealed off by the police.

This tavern is not big, but the decoration is quite exquisite. The combination of retro style and neon atmosphere has a special flavor. On this street, it can also be regarded as a check-in spot for Internet celebrities.

It's just that this was once a bustling bourgeois tavern, but now it's empty and bleak.

Lin Qiye and the two walked through the yellow cordon and walked straight into the tavern.

"Is there no one guarding this murder scene?" Lin Qiye asked strangely as he looked around and didn't even see a policeman.

"This case involves 'mystery', so ordinary police officers can't intervene, watch the scene, search for clues, autopsy... These things are all taken over by our special processing department. There are people guarding the place 24 hours a day, and if any suspicious person comes, he can be caught immediately."

Lin Qiye nodded, at this moment, a young man in a black coat came in from the door.

"Brother Wen, are you looking for clues again today?" Seeing Lin Qiye next to Wen Qimo, the young man asked in surprise, "This is..."

"New member, Lin Qiye, Qiye, this is the person in the professional processing department I told you, Xiao Hei. You two should get acquainted, and we will often cooperate in future operations." Wen Qimo said with a smile.

Different from the previous temporary team members, the current Lin Qiye is a serious and well-organized night watchman. He will officially take over the work of the night watchman and truly integrate into this organization.

"Hello, Brother Lin." Xiao Hei smiled and stretched out his hand.

"Hello." Lin Qiye held his hand.

"Xiaohei, give Qiye a brief introduction to the situation." Wen Qimo said.

"Okay." Xiao Hei's expression became serious, "It happened yesterday, that is, at 8 am on August 26. The owner of this tavern entered the store to open the door, but found a strong smell of blood in the store. After entering the backyard It was discovered that Sun Xiao, a waiter in the tavern, died tragically."

With that said, he led the two of them towards the backyard.

"The door didn't open until after ten o'clock in the morning?" Lin Qiye seemed a little surprised.

"This kind of tavern does business at night, and it's hard work starting after ten o'clock." Wen Qimo explained from the side.

Lin Qiye nodded, and soon the three of them walked to the door of the backyard.

On the ground in the backyard, there are number plates marked with numbers one after another. Next to each number plate is a corresponding photo of the scene. On the wall, a human figure is outlined with white chalk, suspended in the shape of a "ten". half empty.

"The deceased Sun Xiao, male, 28 years old, came to this tavern as a waiter two years ago, and had been working in a restaurant before that. In fact, it is rare for a tavern waiter to stick to it for such a long time. He can It has been done for two years, one is because the owner of the tavern treats him very well and treats him well, and the other is because there are two elderly people in the family who are supporting him and need money urgently."

Xiao Hei looked down at the information in his hand, and continued, "From the autopsy report, the time of death was between 3:4 and [-]:[-] in the morning of that day. There were five nails on the body of the deceased, four of which were located in the The limbs are all piercing wounds, corresponding to the four red dots on the wall."

Lin Qiye squinted his eyes and saw that there were indeed four deep chisel marks on the hands and feet of the white figure on the wall, and there were still blood stains in the chisel marks. It was these four nails that nailed the deceased to the wall.

"And the fatal wound of the deceased is the nail piercing through the heart, fatal in one blow."

Xiao Hei stretched out his finger and pointed to the wall. At the heart position of the human figure, a small red dot was marked, representing the position where the nail pierced the heart.

"In addition, the ten fingers of the deceased... were all severed, and the fracture was very smooth. In this tavern, no knife that could cause such damage was found."

Chapter 219 Video

"Cutting fingers..." Lin Qiye was thoughtful.

Many mysteries have perverted hobbies, such as the ghost-faced man before, after killing people, he would gnaw the face until it was blurred, and then eat other parts of the body.

A creature that likes to cut people's fingers... He has never heard of it.

"Where's the blood on the scene?" Lin Qiye pondered for a moment, then raised his head and asked.

"There were not many bloodstains left at the scene. Most of them were bleeding from the severed fingers. The bloodstains flowed from the wall to the ground, as recorded in those photos."

Xiao Hei bent down and picked up two photos from the side of the number plate, and handed them to Lin Qiye.

Lin Qiye looked at it carefully for a while, frowning slightly, "Strange..."

"What's wrong?"

"Don't you guys think that the amount of bleeding is a bit small?" Lin Qiye pointed to the blood on the photo, there was only a small puddle on the wall and under the body of the deceased.

"There are not too many blood vessels connected to a human finger. Even if it is cut off, it will not cause the effect of arterial hemorrhage. It is understandable that there is not much blood." Xiao Hei said.

Lin Qiye squinted his eyes, but did not speak.

"Anyway, let's take a look at that video recorder first, that may be the only clue that will allow us to find that 'mystery'." Wen Qimo led Lin Qiye into the tavern, 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 will start playing.

The first thing that came into view was a Mediterranean greasy man, he was playing with the video recorder curiously, a little blush appeared on his cheeks, he looked like he had drunk too much.

"This is the owner of the tavern. They were having a reception the night before yesterday, and it was very lively." Xiao Hei explained from the side.

The owner of the tavern seems to have figured out the video recorder, holding it in his hand, and taking pictures of the lively scenes of the entire reception. I have to say that the reception was really good, and there were many guests who came to join in, and many of them were young and beautiful girl.

"The next few hours are all about irrelevant shots of the reception, you can just tune to the back and watch." Xiao Hei pressed the fast forward button.

The reception soon ended, leaving behind a messy tavern, the boss took down the video recorder, his whole face was flushed, he seemed to have drunk a lot, and he started to feel dizzy when he walked.

It was also for this reason that he threw the video recorder on the bar in a daze, forgetting to turn it off, or even to stop the video recording, and simply explained a few words to the waiter Sun Xiao, then staggered open the door and walked out.

For the next half an hour, Sun Xiao was cleaning up the tavern.

Suddenly, the picture of the video recorder fluctuated strangely, as if it was disturbed by something, it turned on and off, and finally fell into darkness completely.

Lin Qiye frowned, looked up at Xiao Hei, who shook his head, motioning him to continue reading.

The screen went black for about ten seconds, and the picture reappeared. The shooting angle of the video camera seemed to have shifted a little. No, it should be said that the angle of the entire bar had shifted a little, as if something had hit it.

In the picture, the situation of the backyard can be photographed through the door leading to the backyard, but the backyard is open-air, there are no lights installed, and it is dim, so when the tavern is brightly lit, the backyard in the distance is somewhat blurred unclear.

But this does not prevent them from seeing what happened next.

I saw that Sun Xiao, who was wearing waiter's clothes, seemed to be grabbed by some invisible force, and was pressed against the wall of the backyard, as if his throat was stuck, and he was lifted into the air bit by bit. middle.

His limbs danced wildly in mid-air, as if struggling.

Immediately afterwards, iron nails automatically bounced from the ground in the distance, plunged into his body, and nailed it to the wall. Sun Xiao opened his mouth wide, as if howling in pain. .

Although the distance was very far, and due to the light, it was difficult to see the details from the perspective of the video recorder, but when they looked carefully, they could still see that Sun Xiao's fingers seemed to be getting shorter and shorter, and finally disappeared without a trace.

Then, the last iron nail flew up and pierced directly into Sun Xiao's heart.

Sun Xiao's body trembled, his head lowered, and he remained motionless.

After another one or two minutes, the picture was completely plunged into darkness. It should be that after a long period of shooting, the power of the video recorder was exhausted.

After watching this video, Lin Qiye walked to the place where the video recorder was originally placed, looked towards the backyard, and seemed 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 severed all at once, but disappeared bit by bit... But in the autopsy report, it was also stated that his fingers were smoothly severed by some kind of sharp instrument."

Wen Qimo pondered for a moment, "The picture is too far away, we can't see all the details, maybe with a knife, like cutting a carrot, cut off the fingers bit by bit, and finally cut to the root of the finger?"

"What about the finger?" Lin Qiye narrowed his eyes, "Where did the severed finger go?"

"Perhaps it was eaten?"

"Like eating a steak, cut a piece and eat it?" Lin Qiye shook his head, "If so, this mysterious one is too emotional."

Afterwards, Lin Qiye asked again: "When did the reception end last night?"

"02:30 AM."

"The time can match..." Lin Qiye pondered for a moment, "Is there no camera nearby?"

"The only camera is at the entrance of the street on the east side, but it can only take pictures of the exterior of the tavern from a distance, and can't see the inside. We have also called up the picture, but at the time of the incident, there were no other suspicious persons waiting to approach ."

"It can be seen from the screen that the deceased had shouted. Did the residents nearby hear it? Can this be used to confirm the exact time of death?"

Xiao Hei shook his head, "There are commercial areas around here. At the time of the incident, the surrounding stores were closed and there was no one around here."

Lin Qiye fell into deep thought again.

For some reason, he always felt that... this incident was weird, but he couldn't say exactly where it was.

He also needs more information, more thinking.

"In any case, it is now confirmed that there is a 'mysterious' wandering around here. From the video, we can infer some of its characteristics." Wen Qimo said,

"Have the ability to hide or control objects, like to cut off people's fingers, and can have a weak impact on the surrounding electronic equipment."
