After discovering that the dead body was missing, I actually felt a bit of cold air wrapping around my body from the soles of my feet on a hot day. The dead object would not move by itself. Someone must have seen the dead body of this puppy. I don’t know why it was cleaned up. Did you drop it because you were afraid of being seen?Or simply clean up the remains?I parked the car, plugged it in, and walked to the room, guessing who was most likely to do it.

The one closest to the carport is the porter at the door, but the porter seldom comes out to wander around. Zhao Cong and Manager Wang privately complained to us that this old man is the most energetic eater, and he has never seen anyone else when he usually works.Could it be him?I walked into the factory area and passed by the porter at the entrance. The door of the porter is still closed, just like before I went out. The dark green old-fashioned screen window and the brown frosted glass make people unable to see the scene inside the house. Of course, this house is the porter. Uncle's bedroom, of course outsiders cannot easily see inside.

I was thinking while going back to my room. Before entering the dormitory, I looked back at the office area on the east side. The accountant in the factory should be there these two days, because the cattle farm will sell a batch of fattened beef cattle in mid-July. The reason is that the accountant has been here very frequently this week. She is a female accountant surnamed Chen. She looks to be in her early thirties. I have seen her photo and name on the staff board. She is on the right side of Manager Wang. Her name is Chen Hui. I ride a battery car to and from work every day, and I park the car at the door of the office when I come. I have never seen her go to the shed. It is unlikely that it is her. It is probably not easy to dispose of the corpse seeing her innocent appearance.

I continued to figure out who disposed of the corpse. It took me less than 10 minutes to go back and forth to the supermarket. At this point, Zhang Yi and the others usually conduct routine inspections in the breeding area. This is their busiest time of the day. , there should be no time to come to the carport. Manager Wang will drive his car when he comes. It seems that he didn't come today, so the concierge is the most likely, at least he is the closest in terms of distance.But seeing how he always doesn't care about world affairs, he doesn't leave the door, and doesn't walk through the second door, it's hard to be sure. I was thinking that I went back to the room. Fortunately, I took a photo before, and I uploaded the photo to the computer so that it can be enlarged and detailed. look.

The dog’s body is full of scars, it looks like it was scratched by a sharp tool, the incision looks smooth, and the knife marks are messy, but looking at it, it seems to be a bit regular, just like when we were studying Lu Xun on the desk It was like engraving the word "Zao". The person who did this seemed to want to carve something on the puppy, whether it was a word or a pattern. The precision of the photo made it impossible for me to see it clearly, but I felt a chill.

I'm not surprised by the corpse, but if it's what I think, the person who did it wants to carve something on the corpse, then this is a bit abnormal, and the dog abuse is basically solid.At this time, my mind was in a mess. Years of adventure-seeking experience made me flash all kinds of things I had seen. I took a few deep breaths, lit a cigarette, and watched the lit part of the cigarette, the light and dark flickering, just like hell pagoda.

I remembered a childhood shadow TV series "The Criminal of the Great Song Dynasty" I watched many years ago. There was a scene that I was particularly impressed by. The force was the strongest when going down. Thinking of this, I cut out the photo with the mentality of giving it a try, and also wanted to analyze the characteristics of the cut.

I pushed the mouse wheel to zoom in on the location of one of the knife marks. It was different from the plot in the TV series. In the play, the murderer cut open the throat of the deceased with a knife. The wound was almost perpendicular to the spine, so it can be easily guessed that the starting point of the cut was on the left side. It's still on the right side, and the scratches on the puppy's body are on the chest and abdomen, that is, the side of the body. Since I didn't turn the body over, I can only see one side of the body. I don't know if there are scratches on the back and the other side of the dog. Knife marks, and if it is on the side, it is not so easy to distinguish the beginning and end of the incision.

I suddenly wanted to simulate the process of the operation. This is a habit I developed when I was in college and took professional courses. As I was thinking, I raised my hand and stopped in midair. There is a dog and a knife in front of me. How would I cut it? Unknowingly, the posture of my right hand changed to that of holding a scalpel in an anatomy class.

In the classroom, the teacher once taught us that if we want to make a straight cut, we should hold the knife with our thumb and middle finger, and hold the back of the knife with our index finger.Then, according to my habit, I will hold the puppy with my left hand, and turn my wrist horizontally from left to right with my right hand starting from the dog's head. At the same time, the capillaries under the skin burst, blood oozes from the wound, and the blood stains must be the most on both sides of the place where the skin penetrated.

Thinking of this, I blinked my eyes a few times to restore the focus, and began to repeatedly observe the wound on the photo. The puppy’s fur is brown-black, and it was buried in the corner of the carport before, and its body was covered with black mud. It has been washed, but the details of the incision are still almost invisible, only a knife mark near the tail is relatively deep, obliquely across the abdomen and back, the incision and blood stains can barely tell that the abdomen is deeper, and the back is shallower, it seems He is just an ordinary right-handed person, because he only needs to maintain the same knife-holding posture with his right hand, and adjust the dog's body position with his left hand so that the dog's tail faces the direction of four o'clock, so that his right hand can have a comfortable cutting angle. Like drawing a horizontal line, I sighed and smiled. After all, TV series are TV series. The so-called coincidence is not a book. In real life, I just found out that there is a left-handed man with a knife.

No, I raised my hand in the air again. In my re-simulation, if I want to cut a wound in the second half of the puppy’s body, especially this position near the end, I still hold the knife with my right hand, which is really comfortable. The posture is not to change the direction of the dog’s body, but to turn the wrist outward and then move from the front right to the rear left. This posture is the most stable. At this time, the wound should be deep on the back and shallow on the abdomen, as shown in the photo The beginning and end of the wound did not match.

My heartbeat suddenly accelerated, is it really a left-handed person?I exhaled the stale air I was holding in my mouth, and calmed down. I immediately thought that in the simulation just now, I had been operating as a right-handed user. At that time, in my imagination, I held the dog with my left hand. The tiger's mouth is stuck on the neck, and the four limbs are facing my body. But if I am left-handed, I will hold the dog with my right hand, and the tiger's mouth is also stuck on the neck. At this time, the four limbs are facing the opposite direction of my body, and the left hand If the knife is used, the wound should extend from the abdomen to the back, which is consistent with the photo.

And I thought that the dog must have been dead when it was cut. This kind of puppy is very weak in resistance, and an adult can easily strangle it. He is a deaf person. Even if the cattle farm is big, it is impossible for us not to hear the screaming of the puppy. If the dog was killed elsewhere, there is no need to bring it over and throw it in the shed. There is a large area of ​​farmland, and it is impossible to throw it in It is different from mud cows entering the sea.

At this point, the logic seems to be self-consistent. I think, if my guess is correct, the person who killed the dog is probably left-handed, but this is just my idealized guess, and the reliability is not high. However, if a left-handed person can be found among the people in the factory, at least he is very suspicious, and he can be further observed in daily communication.

Just when I was lost in thought and intoxicated by my meticulous reasoning, my junior brother suddenly pushed the door open and came in. I was so scared that I almost flew the keyboard in front of me. Before I could say anything, my junior raised his head and pointed at the bucket in his hand:

"Take a look, what is this!"

I am amused:

"Yo, you really caught the bastard, it's okay with your skills."

"My pole almost broke because of this bastard. I'll put him in the small pool downstairs to raise him later. By the way, why were you so nervous just now? Did you secretly watch a movie?"

"I'll lock the door when I watch the film, I'll show you something." I showed the photo to my junior, who frowned and said:

"Who did this? It's inhumane."

"Let me tell you, this grandson is left-handed, believe it or not." I pointed to the incision and said.The younger brother seemed to think of something immediately:

""Da Song Mentioned Criminal Officer", is it the episode where the left-handed man kills someone?"

"Why do you know everything?"

"You think I'm doing TikTok in vain? I've watched this episode several times." I was speechless. I stuck out my thumb and gave him a thumbs up. Then I shared what happened just now with my analysis. The theory was shared with him, and the younger brother also used his hands to make a few anatomical movements in the air like me. As expected of a direct brother, the movements were all taught by a teacher. Then he touched his chin and nodded and said:

"Your analysis seems to make sense. What books are you still reading? Open a detective agency, but I don't think there are left-handed people in the factory."

"I don't have the impression either. I have eaten and worked together for so many days. It is true that I have not seen left-handed people, but some left-handed people only use their left hand when doing certain things. Teachers will correct them when they learn to write in elementary school. , so most people write with their right hand, but I have also met people who write with their right hand, hold a racket when playing ball, and use their left hand to hold chopsticks.”

"That's right, but wait for me and I'll release this bastard first." I followed my junior brother downstairs and prepared to put the bastard in the pool. The bastard has a big head and probably lived for many years. If the moss is removed, put this bastard in the restaurant, and it will not sell for hundreds of dollars.

Looking back at the door of the office on the first floor, I don’t know when it was blown open by the wind. I walked over and wanted to close the door. There is a refrigerator in this office. We need to use ice packs to keep fresh in our experiments, so we froze in the refrigerator. There are less ice packs. In order to facilitate our access at any time, the factory did not lock the office door. After all, there is nothing to be afraid of losing. I came to the office door and was about to close the door. I saw Manager Wang on the table. Drawing pictures, turning the doorknob to close the door, I suddenly yelled:

"Hurry up! Come and see!"

The younger brother came over in response, and I had already stepped into the room first, picked up the photo, the younger brother walked over and took a look at the photo in my hand, and soon found out the clue, and after making a signature "wipe", he used his hands Click on the glass on the outside of this photo:

"Fucking Manager Wang drew the painting with his left hand!"

Usually when cooking, Manager Wang seems to use his right hand when working, but when it comes to painting, which he is good at, he uses his original left hand due to habit problems. My junior and I looked up at each other, although there is no direct evidence that he is The person who stabbed the dog did not come today, which means that he did not handle the dog's body, but he is quite suspicious of killing the dog. If he is really the one who did the knife, let him deal with it The dead body, either for cleaning up, or someone with knowledge.

"Are you cold? I'm a little cold." The younger brother hugged his arms and rubbed his two arms alternately.

"Look at the goosebumps on my arms."

"I have trypophobia, I also get goosebumps when you mention it." The younger brother speeded up and rubbed his arms back and forth, and I followed his example to suppress the goosebumps.At this moment, I just felt a little bit nervous, and said to my junior brother:

"Have you ever heard of a theory that perverted murderers will torture and kill animals before they kill for the first time, and killing animals is the beginning of a person's crime."

"Fucking senior brother, you are instigated."

I quickly put down the photo and went back to the room as if fleeing with my junior brother.The younger brother fell on the bed, and the bed board made a painful creaking sound.

"Brother, don't risk your life doing an experiment. First you drank fake wine and ate fake meat, and now there is someone who abuses animals. Anyway, I caught it too. I won't go fishing tomorrow. From today onwards we will all Act in unity, act in unity in all things!"

"We must act in a unified way. In addition to taking a bath and going to the toilet, we must also look at Manager Wang. If it is really him, if he is a psychopath with his cultural level, one day we will offend him. I am afraid that it will be gone immediately. The current matter Other than the two of us, no one else knows, and there is another person who does the corpse, who is unknown, let's think about it in the long run."

The younger brother yelled "Fuck" three times in a row:

"Long-term thinking, long-term thinking, I'm really screwed."

"Don't you fucking mention the word dog." I cursed.

When I was taking a shower that night, the younger brother used his mobile phone to play the music all the time, saying that it was to strengthen his courage. I thought it was very effective.

Manager Zhuan Tianwang came to the factory and walked around the factory happily. My junior brother and I showed off our acting skills and chatted with smoke as usual. We also ate eggplant with us at lunch. If it wasn’t for accidentally discovering that he is left-handed, it would be really cool. It's hard to think of him as someone who puts a knife on a dog.

In the afternoon, my junior brother and I sorted out all the strange people and things we have encountered so far, mainly three things, the dream caused by beef and wine, the suspected witchcraft bag, and the dead dog.

"Let's put aside the matter of dog abuse for the time being. We also burned the contents of the bag, as well as the beef and this wine. We haven't analyzed it carefully. In this way, I have a way to test it out. No. 12 barn, just The innermost one is next to a cafeteria, you know."

"That's where the old men eat. They cook all the meals by themselves. There is only a room in the back that has a freezer in which our samples are still stored." The younger brother nodded.

"Yes, there is another refrigerator next door. I made a mistake when I was looking for a sample last time. I saw that it should be frozen beef. Let's take a piece out tonight and cook it by ourselves. Anyway, it seems like a dream. Nothing special, just try to see if you will have that dream again."

The younger brother quickly waved his hands:

"Then you eat and I don't eat."

"I eat as long as I eat, don't be greedy when the time comes."

After the discussion, my junior brother and I played computer games in the room and waited until it was dark. It was time for the factory to get off work, and almost all the people in the breeding area had left. My junior brother and I walked towards the canteen in a dignified manner. There was no need to be sneaky, because there were surveillance cameras on the road. , When I got to the cafeteria, the surveillance camera couldn’t take pictures. I asked my younger brother to watch at the door, and went in to open the freezer. The frozen meat inside was very firm. I used the flashlight of my mobile phone to break off a piece. Before I left, I went to the next door to put samples He pretended to take an empty bottle in his room, so he could make excuses then.

Back in the room, I boiled the meat, it was quite a big piece, I asked:

"You really don't want to eat it? It's not like you don't know the quality of this meat."

"I watch you eat, there must be someone who is sober, and I can save you if something happens to you." The younger brother waved his hand.

I scooped up the meat, scratched my hair, opened my mouth to bite, chewed and said:

"You are still so lucky."

In order to wait for the effect of dreaming, I didn't waste anything. A palm-sized beef was wiped out by me. The boiled meat didn't even add salt, but high-end ingredients often only need simple cooking methods. The quality of this beef Even if it is boiled in white water, the flavor can be tasted, but it is not so rich, and the taste is still nothing to say.In the evening, the younger brother played the diaper again to take a bath, and I got up early and turned on the cross talk as white noise to prepare for falling asleep, and soon I fell into a drowsy sleep.

The next morning, before the morning reading time was up, I was woken up by the noise downstairs. The junior was already looking downstairs by the window, seeing that I woke up and asking me:

"How about it, are you dreaming?"

I took a breath:

"It's strange, it's not a dream, we guessed wrong? Or is it not the meat problem, could it be that something else was put in when the meat was roasted, let's not talk about it, what's going on downstairs?" The younger brother said that it seemed to be A calf died, and I heard Zhang Yi, Zhao Cong and the others talking downstairs.

"It's not normal for a calf to die."

The younger brother shook his head:

"No, come and take a look."

I got up, rubbed my eyes and looked down, saying that I have no objection to the fact that the calf is dead, but the way it died seemed a bit strange, but I hadn’t washed my face just after getting up, and it was a little far away, so my junior brother and I washed up. I went upstairs to see the dead cow.

The calf's skin was almost completely peeled off to cover it, and it was turned over, with a light pink fat layer facing the outside, and many flies were flying around. In addition, the meat on the cow's head was covered with It was completely removed, and the strange thing is that the remaining meat on other parts of the cow looked a little whitish, as if the blood in the body had been drawn out, and the uncles in the surrounding fields were talking about it.

Listening to their conversation, the younger brother seemed to say that the cow was not in the yard, but in the barn behind, and barn 14 was specially used to raise calves. They found it when they came to work, and they pulled it here with a tricycle. They also told us that the cowhide was turned over and covered in this way.There is a big weighbridge in the yard. When selling cattle, they have to weigh them to calculate the money. They pull the cattle and put them on the weighbridge. I looked at the color of the calf. It should have been killed last night. Bleeding, it didn't show up until this morning. Everyone suggested to watch the surveillance to see if they could see who did it. Accountant Chen also looked at it while covering his nose, saying that if the cow can grow up, at least it can be sold. Fifteen thousand, a big loss.

In the monitoring room, accountant Chen was operating the monitoring to play the video from last night. After watching it for a while, I saw my junior brother and I swaggering towards the breeding area. I coughed and said in embarrassment that we were going to the place where the samples were placed The glass jars are filled with concentrated sulfuric acid. This is an excuse I thought up last night. Since I was prepared, I used this excuse naturally. I pointed to the monitor to signal everyone to continue watching. Sure enough, within a few minutes I The younger brother and I returned the same way, and the suspicion between the two of us has been ruled out. If my younger brother and I can kill the cow and bled the cow in such a short time, and can also peel the skin and flesh, then they will tear us apart to see. We are not robots anymore.

As the video passed by every minute and every second, we didn't see any suspicious people appearing on the screen, but there is only one way to enter the cattle farm, so we can only continue to stare patiently. After leaving, Zhang Yi and the others are also leaving for a routine inspection of the breeding area. In the end, only me, my junior brother, and Accountant Chen were left watching the video. When the timeline reached three o'clock in the morning, a corner of one of the monitoring screens suddenly flickered. , the three of us cheered up, and immediately went back and played it repeatedly, finally confirming that someone had entered the breeding area at this time.

Since the monitoring was installed relatively early, there are blind spots that cannot be illuminated. The visitors must be very familiar with the area that the monitoring can illuminate, and it is not clear how many people are there. Judging from the appearance of the calf being slaughtered, one or two people estimate We couldn’t finish it, so we checked the surveillance many times, and we can only confirm that someone went in after 3:[-] in the morning, but we don’t know exactly how many people and who they were, and we didn’t see when they came out. We thought it might have come out Be more careful to avoid the monitoring area.

"I'll call the headquarters to report first, you guys go back first." My junior and I nodded and said we still had to feed the cows, while Accountant Chen went back to the office to make a phone call.

While feeding the cows, I discussed the dream with my younger brother, and I asked my younger brother:

"Who burns the meat every time?"

"It seems that Manager Wang comes to cook it every time. He must have put something into the meat. Every time he cooks the meat, he either braises it in soy sauce, or puts thirteen spices, and also puts chili to make it stand up to the meal. It is probably for To cover up other things he put in the meat."

"We ate three meals when we came to the factory. We didn't eat much, so it's probably fine. Zhang Yi and the others didn't know how many years they ate, and they didn't see anything wrong with them. The main reason is that they really don't know why Manager Wang would do such a thing. , plus the matter of the left-handed man and the killing of the dog, and this dead calf, it is estimated that Manager Wang has a lot of involvement in it, junior brother, let's come to the warehouse where we store our things tomorrow night, and see who it is, Do you want to do it?" My blood suddenly surged.

"Damn it, I want to see who made these moths." The younger brother said as he sprinkled the experimental additives on the grass.

A cow's moo brought me back from the experience of more than 20 days. Accountant Chen reported this to the headquarters yesterday. The headquarters meant that a young man surnamed Wu was sent to live in the factory for a while. Situation, people haven’t come yet today, my junior brother and I are now squatting in the factory building opposite the No. 7 cowshed. This factory building is two stories high. In addition to various feeds, there are also various instruments we need to collect experimental data. Consumables, the warehouse door is an iron plate sliding door about 4 meters high. Every time I pass this door before, I can’t help but think that if this door falls down, let alone a person, a cow can be photographed as a specimen .

It was almost 3:[-] in the morning, except for the cow bleating just now, everything was completely silent. At this time, I suddenly heard the sound of rustling on the road, and my junior brother and I quickly put out our cigarettes and looked out through the crack of the iron door , vaguely saw three figures walking close to the base of the wall, which happened to be the blind area of ​​the surveillance, there were two figures that were difficult to judge, and the person leading the way in front of him looked short and fat, and it was Manager Wang Mulin!
