I Studied Beheading in a Mental Institution.

In the empty and tidy corridor, two figures walked forward one after the other.

At the end of the corridor, there was a metal automatic sliding door. A young man was sitting beside the sliding door, leaning against the wall, yawning.

Seeing two people approaching, he immediately perked up and stood up from his seat.

"Please show your ID." He said seriously.

Lin Qiye took out the coat of arms and handed it to him. The latter took a closer look and said in surprise:

"So you are the new night watchman, I'm sorry." He bowed slightly to Lin Qiye, returned the coat of arms with both hands, and at the same time looked at the person behind Lin Qiye with some surprise.

"Brother Lin, this is..."

"Oh, he is the expert I invited to take a look at the corpse." Lin Qiye put away the coat of arms and said calmly.

"Okay, I'll open the door for you."

The young man opened a small box next to the metal sliding door, entered a dozen-digit password, and the metal sliding door was opened, revealing the passage inside.

An Qingyu, who was wearing a shirt and a mask, followed Lin Qiye into it, and said in surprise:

"Is the security so loose here? I thought there was a body search, identification or something."

"This is just a mortuary. It's so troublesome. You don't even know if it exists, let alone walk in the real secret core." Lin Qiye replied.

In the end, he brought Anqingyu along, not because of anything else, but because Anqingyu's ability to interpret corpses is definitely the best in Daxia, even the most powerful forensic doctor may not be able to match him.

With him here, maybe we can really find some clues.

The two opened the door and entered the morgue. Compared with the morgue in the police station, this place is obviously much smaller. After all, only corpses related to mysterious events will be stored here. Doesn't happen a few times.

After showing his identity certificate to the forensic doctor, the other party immediately gave Lin Qiye an autopsy report, and at the same time responded to Lin Qiye's request and pushed Sun Xiao's body out of the cold storage.

Lin Qiye simply glanced at the autopsy report and focused on the corpse in front of him.

Judging from the report, this corpse is the same as the previous three, and there is nothing special about it. If you really want to make a breakthrough, you still have to start with the corpse.

An Qingyu has fully entered the state, examining the entire corpse with an absolutely indifferent and precise attitude, with a faint gray light in his eyes.

After thoroughly viewing every inch of the corpse, he subconsciously reached into his pocket and took out a sharp scalpel...

Lin Qiye held down his hand, shook his head, "I can only watch, not dissect."

An Qingyu nodded helplessly, looked down at the corpse, the lenses of the glasses reflected the pale light, and said in a deep voice:

"On the whole, like the previous three corpses, the fatal wound was on the chest, the ten fingers were severed, and there were no other wounds except the nail wound."

He took the autopsy report in Lin Qiye's hand and continued: "There is an active reaction in the fracture of the ten fingers, which means that the fingers were severed while they were still alive. This is the same as the previous three corpses..."

"So, nothing unusual?" Lin Qiye asked with some regret.

"Yes!" An Qingyu nodded heavily, "There is a place for this corpse, which is different from the previous three corpses!"

"where?"

"The direction of the broken fingers!" An Qingyu's eyes were extremely bright, "For the three corpses before, the direction of the broken fingers was from top to bottom."

An Qingyu leaned against the wall, with his left hand in the posture of being nailed to the wall, with the palm facing the wall and the back of the hand facing outward.

At the same time, his right hand was made into a knife shape, and he chopped lightly on his fingers.

"Generally speaking, if the deceased is nailed to the wall like this, if you want to cut off his fingers, you can only cut from the direction of the back of the hand to the direction of the palm, because it is impossible for the knife to cut out from the wall. The direction in which the three corpses were severed.

But this corpse is different! "

With his right hand, he drew a horizontal line from bottom to top on the fingers of his left hand.

"His fingers were severed from bottom to top! It was cut from the palm to the back of the hand! But this posture of severed fingers cannot be done with the posture of my palm now, so, after he was severed When pointing, it must be in such a posture..."

An Qingyu turned his left hand over. It was also nailed to the wall, but with the palm facing outward and the back of the hand facing the wall.

Lin Qiye's eyes lit up, but then he frowned again.

"But in the video, the position of the corpse is too far away, and the light is blurry. We really can't see the direction of his palm. Maybe he was really nailed up like this?

What can be seen just by the nailing method of one palm? "

"Based on this alone, of course nothing can be seen, but the problem is precisely here." An Qingyu walked to the corpse, pointed to the two wounds on the palm of the corpse, and continued,

"A nail driven from the palm of the hand is similar to the shape of the wound from the back of the hand, but it is actually different. The wound on the hand of this corpse...was caused by the nail from the top down."

An Qingyu used one finger as a nail, passed through the palm of the other hand from the back, and said solemnly:

"In other words...the direction in which the nail was driven in is opposite to the direction in which the finger was cut off! This means..."

"It means that his fingers were cut off first, and then he was nailed to the wall." Lin Qiye narrowed his eyes slightly, and continued An Qingyu's words.

An Qingyu nodded, "That's right."

"But the process shown in the video is not consistent with our reasoning." Lin Qiye frowned, "And after the appraisal, the video has no traces of special effects processing, that is to say, the pictures captured in the video are indeed real events ."

"In this case, there is only one possibility left..." An Qingyu said slowly.

"The person who died in the video is not Sun Xiao!" Lin Qiye and An Qingyu said at the same time.

Due to the distance and light, the picture taken by the video recorder was not clear, and the face of the deceased could not even be seen clearly. After all, the reason why everyone judged that the deceased in the picture was Sun Xiao was because of the uniform of the waiter!

Moreover, they did find Sun Xiao's crucified body on the wall the next day, which was exactly the same as in the picture.

No one ever doubted the identity of the deceased in the tape.

"That is to say, another person was wearing Sun Xiao's clothes and was nailed to the wall by 'mystery', but after the video recorder ran out of power, someone replaced the original one with Sun Xiao whose fingers had been cut off. That person?" An Qingyu frowned tightly, "But...why is this?"

"Our reasoning still has a fatal problem!" Lin Qiye took a deep breath and continued,

"According to our reasoning, the people who were crucified on the wall should be two different dead, but... from the blood at the scene, we only detected the DNA of Sun Xiao alone!"

Chapter 226 Ceremony

An Qingyu fell silent.

Indeed, if the two people's assumptions were followed, then two victims were nailed to death on that wall that night, but the blood analysis at the scene only showed Sun Xiao's blood, so the two people's assumptions would not work .

"And, if there was a second dead person that night, where is his body?" Lin Qiye continued, "He was wearing the uniform of a waiter in this tavern, but none of the other waiters died. ... who exactly?"

At this point in the reasoning, both of them began to suspect that their reasoning was wrong, but if not, they couldn't explain the direction of the wound on the corpse...

The case became more and more complicated and confusing.

Just as the two of them were contemplating, Lin Qiye's cell phone rang. He took out the cell phone and glanced at it, a gleam of light appeared in his eyes.

"The deputy team said that they found some clues about this 'mystery', and I have to go back." Lin Qiye put away his phone and said to An Qingyu, "I showed you the corpse, you should leave."

An Qingyu sighed helplessly, "This case is more complicated than I imagined, and there are too few things that can be analyzed based on these four corpses... I think, I still have to go to the scene of the crime to have a look. "

"This is my phone, if you find anything, call me."

"...I didn't seem to say that I wanted to help you solve the case, did I? I just wanted to take a look at the corpse." An Qingyu had a strange expression on his face.

Lin Qiye turned his head and looked into An Qingyu's eyes without saying a word.

An Qingyu smiled wryly, "Okay, I see, for the sake of not handing me over to the night watchman, I will let you know as soon as I find out."

"Um."

……

Peace Office.

underground.

Beside the long table, all the members of Team 136 had arrived. Wu Xiangnan held a thick stack of documents in his hand, and his eyes were full of seriousness.

"After Qimo reported to me the 'mysterious' characteristics of the East City the day before yesterday, I immediately investigated the internal database of the Night Watchman, trying to find out what it is..."

For the night watchman, the most important step in dealing with mysterious events is to confirm the identity of the "mystery". As long as you confirm what the "mystery" is, you can roughly know its ability, strength, habits and weaknesses.

In some mysterious events, the identity of the "mystery" is clear at a glance, such as the ghost-faced man and the flame dragon, but there are also "mysteries" that are difficult to find the specific identity from the event itself, such as the Nanda snake demon, And the current mystery.

"According to Wen Qimo's key words, 'invisibility', 'control objects in the air', 'finger cutting' and 'interference with electronic equipment', I didn't find any mystery that met this condition, the only thing that stuck to it was 'ten Cut Ghost Boy', but it does not have the ability of 'invisibility' and 'space control', and its intelligence is low, so it cannot do such a complicated case.

In other words, what we are facing this time is likely to be a mystery that has never been recorded. "

Wu Xiangnan distributed the information in his hand to everyone, his expression became serious.

"Afterwards, I searched for rituals related to killing people with severed fingers and crucifying walls, and found some incredible clues."

Lin Qiye took a document, opened it and read it, frowning slightly.

"A long time ago, before the fog fell, there was an ancient rumor in a certain small religion in the West. The rumor told about a ritual of promoting evil spirits. This ceremony was used to transform those weak evil spirits into powerful As for ghosts, in history, there were indeed two ghosts who were directly promoted from the 'Chuan' realm to the 'Sea' realm through this ceremony.

If you want to complete this ceremony, you must sacrifice a human soul every two days, cut off their ten fingers within ten seconds before killing them, and when you die, your feet must not touch the ground. The time of death must be At 33:[-] in the morning. "

Seeing this time, Lin Qiye narrowed his eyes slightly. The forensic doctor estimated that the time of death of the corpse in the tavern was between [-]:[-] and [-]:[-] in the morning.

And from the point of view of technique, it is completely in line with the ceremony.

"After sacrificing the souls of five human beings in succession, the ceremony will be initially completed. As long as a large amount of soul power is injected, the weak ghost will be reborn through the ceremony and become a truly powerful ghost..."

"Soul power?" Hongying scratched her head blankly.

"You can understand it as sacrificing the souls of hundreds of ordinary people. Of course, this is just a matter of the total number of souls. It doesn't necessarily mean that so many people are needed. Some people's souls are extremely powerful. Ten, such as the person who owns the Forbidden Ruins, or even 'Mystery' itself."

"You mean, if it wants to complete the ceremony, after killing five people, it must kill hundreds of people in one go?" Chen Muye's face darkened slightly.

"That's right, and there are strict requirements for the location of the ceremony." Wu Xiangnan continued, "In the materials in your hands, a picture of the location of the ceremony has been given."

Lin Qiye flipped through the documents in his hand, and sure enough, there was a photo on a page. In the photo was a pattern engraved on an ancient stone tablet. Five black dots were arranged in positions similar to five stars, and there were lines between them. Connected, some crooked characters are written on the lines, which seem to be annotating something.

"Combining the locations of the previous four cases, I built a plane model, substituted the location of the ceremony in this photo, and deduced the approximate location of the last ceremony."

Wu Xiangnan took out a map and drew a small circle with a red pen on a certain position on it.

"High-end residential area?" Wen Qimo asked in surprise when he saw the scope of this small circle.

"That's right." Wu Xiangnan nodded, "According to the steps of the ceremony, it will definitely sacrifice the fifth deceased here, and then kill hundreds of people to meet the conditions of soul sacrifice, and then be promoted to the 'sea' realm."

"In terms of time, tonight... that is, at 33:[-] tomorrow morning, it will start." Lin Qiye said in a deep voice.

Immediately afterwards, everyone turned their heads to look at Chen Muye.

Chen Muye nodded, and said slowly: "Since this is the case, then our next stage of action is very clear. The scope of this red area is not large. Tonight, the seven of us are scattered in different directions, and we are always monitoring the people here. Happening.

Once someone finds the trace of 'mystery', immediately send out a signal, and within 20 seconds, all of us can arrive at the scene and kill him.
