[Zhongyingmei] Born to be Superman

Two in the afternoon.

Kate went down to the first floor, and she was going to hand over the documents to Dr. Fishy of the forensic department. She walked down the corridor and saw the shutters of Clark's office opened as soon as she entered the forensic department. Taking a look, her familiar partner was working behind the desk, and Kate knocked on the door. "Come in!" Clark said.

Kate opened the door and walked in. Young female detective, you are obviously very excited. She raised her tone by three points, and she said: "I haven't seen you for half a month, Clark, you are being silenced by God." The Shield Bureau has left on secondment, but it can be regarded as returning you, if you don’t come back again, I want to ask that agent Coulson.”

"Grunt" A boy's head popped out from under the blanket of the big white dog on the small recliner, staring dazedly, obviously just taking a nap on the recliner.

Kate looked over, and Dick waved his hand, greeted him very politely, and said, "Hi, Aunt Kate, I'm Richard Grayson, just call me Dick!"

"Hi, Dick," Kate greeted, and Dick ducked his head under the blanket, pulled the blanket up to his chin, and yawned again.

"Dick has a day off after today's campus activities," Clark explained, "Bruce went to Washington to talk about work, Alfred went to take care of him, Tony took Nina and the dog away, Dick stayed with me, we Bring the child here."

Before Bruce left, he practiced his eldest son so that he collapsed on the ground. He originally planned to take Dick with him. The sore little boy hugged Clark's waist tightly and cried and pretended not to get up.

However, Bruce did go to talk about work, but as Batman, he was negotiating with the US military and S.H.I.E.L.D. about the satellite launch of the Justice League watchtower.

Clark walked over, wiped the top of Dick's head, and said, "Go to sleep, I have to go to a meeting." Two tears came from the corners of Dick's eyes. Clark took out his wallet from his pocket, opened it, and took out a hundred-dollar bill. I stuffed it into the little boy's hand and said, "If you get hungry later and want some afternoon tea or something, go buy it yourself, and call me if you need it."

Dick yawned big, twisted a piece of money, and nodded obediently.

When the two adults went out, Clark closed the office door behind his back, and saw Dick kick his legs and collapse into a big character on the recliner. When Bruce was at home, Dick's training was arranged very tightly. Shouting tired, but he has high demands on himself.

I don't know since when, Dick likes to imitate the family's furry belly and lie on his back.

Kate nodded, and Clark continued: "Then I will be in charge of the forensic anatomy of your case."

Kate glanced into the office through the gap in the blinds, and saw the little boy who had turned his head and fell asleep again, and said, "Dick is so good. Although the metropolis is very safe and there is Superman, but speaking of it, the "Planet Daily" "I haven't photographed Superman in half a month, did you go to act together?"

Clark nodded and said, "You can say that."

"Then I'm going to find Dr. Fish." Kate made a phone call gesture and said, "You're busy!"

Just after the routine meeting of the forensic department ended, Clark received a call from Kate.

"Kate," Clark looked at the caller ID on the phone screen, and asked after answering the call, "Did you find the body again?"

Kate on the other end of the phone smiled wryly, she reported an address, and said, "Change your clothes, bring your equipment, come with me, come with me, Dr. Kent, hey... this time it's a shallow pit in the woods to bury the corpse." , and I have a bit of a bad feeling about this case."

Clark asked, "How?"

"You will know when you come." Kate did not elaborate: "The layout of the crime scene is very strange. I just look at the photos and suspect that it is a sacrificial ceremony performed by Satanists."

Clark quickly heard the heartbeat of Austin Miller, the supervisor of the site investigation department, in the noisy voices that filled his ears. Clark looked in the direction where Miller was located. This location is roughly the border between the metropolis and neighboring states. No wonder the case was turned over to the FBI.

Clark quickly changed his clothes, and got into Kate's car in the parking lot with the toolbox. The SUV drove all the way off the intercity highway and drove into a forest. The place was dimly lit and sparsely populated. Clark sat in the co-pilot, Looking around at the surrounding scene, he asked, "How was the body found?"

"It's also a coincidence," Kate said as she turned the steering wheel, "You know this road leads to Kansna Lake, right? There was a fishing man who was going to go fishing in Kansna Lake in the morning. As soon as the road forked, I could smell a faint stench, and when I walked deeper into the woods, I saw the horrible scene of sacrifice."

Kate glanced at the GPS location and said, "I was working at BAU back then. I guess you should be prepared, Clark, but judging from the layout of the crime scene, this is not the first time the unknown suspect has committed a crime." Clark nodded.

Kate parked the car outside the cordon, and the two got out of the car. As soon as they got out of the car, they smelled a faint stench in the air-it was the smell of a corpse just beginning to decay.The detective guarding outside the cordon raised the cordon for them, and the two walked in.

Clark walked to the side of the shallow pit at the crime scene. He hadn't seen the whole picture of the crime scene until now. Kate had no problem with using the word "weird" to describe it.

Because even Clark couldn't help exhaling a big breath when he saw the scene clearly. The deceased was a woman in her early twenties. She was lying flat in the shallow pit with only a little soil left on her body. —the rest were swept away.

Around the shallow pit, there are five white candles erected, and with the candles as the endpoints, someone sprinkled meth on the ground and corpses, drawing a pattern of an inverted pentagram. The site begins, symmetrical on both sides, with the pattern of a pair of black wings formed by the burnt turf.

This victim, who looked like a legendary fallen angel, was extremely weird.

Clark walked a little towards the dead, and the on-site investigators were still working, and the biological sampling had not yet been completed, so Clark just watched from the side and didn't get started.

The victim was wearing a black cape over a long black embroidered dress with ombre, and a pair of black high-heeled shoes - which caught Clark's attention.

The victim's hands were folded on her abdomen. The victim was painted with exquisite makeup, and there was a peaceful smile on the face that had been swept away from the soil. Corresponding to the peaceful smile was a dagger that was inserted straight into her chest. In the shallow pit, Clark's clairvoyant eyes could see clearly that a black blanket was spread under her body, and on that blanket was embroidered with an inverted pentagram pattern.

What surprised Clark the most was that when his eyes swept across the scene of the crime, he did not find a drop of blood on the ground, and the deceased was also drained of blood.

"Hey, Clark," Austin greeted Clark, and Austin walked towards the two who had just arrived at the scene, and he said, "I haven't seen you at the scene for a long time. It's over," Austin raised his hand, and unknown powder stood on his gloved hand.

Austin lowered his hand, pointed to the black wings on the side of the victim, and said, "I just smelled it, and it smells like a combustion accelerant. I guess the wings are burnt out." Austin pulled his gloves and said, "However, Kara Han, don't always try to hear good news from me."

Kate sighed, it looked like the victim had left no physical evidence of her identity.

"Yes, that's right. We didn't collect biological samples or fingerprints at the scene. Our work is done, Kate, and the rest is yours." As soon as Austin turned his head, he saw Clark squatting on the dead body, As he moved the victim's high-heeled shoes with his gloved hands, Austin walked over and asked, "Is there something wrong with these shoes?"

Clark inspected the point of contact between the black high-heeled shoe and the heel. He said: "The design of the heel of this shoe coincides with the curvature of the deceased's heel."

"So?" Austin asked.

"These are the shoes of the deceased, they were not worn by the murderer," Clark said firmly, "Also, this pair of black thick-heeled high-heeled shoes, if I remember correctly, are Givenchy's early autumn 2015 high-end models. Check it out in this way. It should be possible to find out the identity of the deceased."

Clark checked the deceased's eyes and said, "The cornea is highly turbid and gray-white, and the pupils cannot be seen through. The estimated time of death is more than 48 hours. The specific time of death and the cause of death can only be determined after an autopsy."

"Isn't this... a dagger stabbing the heart to death?" Kate asked hesitantly.

"Look at the dead man's expression, it's strangely calm," Clark said his guess, "I suspect that the dead man died of poisoning after a coma." Clark stood up and gave instructions: "The body can be packed. Let's go." Right, Kate?"

"Okay," Austin gestured to the people next to him, and said, "We still need to extract trace evidence on the clothes. I hope the clues about the shoes you mentioned are true."

The two walked to the SUV, and Kate sat in the driver's seat and asked, "How much do you know about Satanism?"

"Know a thing or two." Clark said: "Satanism has many sects just like Christianity. Take the traditional Satanism as an example. They regard Satan as the greatest god in the universe. Nature is energy and everything. Traditional Satanism Respect Satan as a great god and call him the giver of darkness. In the Garden of Eden, Satan’s act of tempting Eve to eat the fruit of wisdom was regarded as the giving of knowledge. Satan gave humans knowledge, allowing humans to have the ability to think and understand Right and wrong, good and evil, so that human beings know the world in real life."

Clark leaned on the co-pilot seat and continued: "In addition to the traditional Satanism, there are also the Church of Satan, the Sect of the Black Rose, the Sect of the Son of the Black Rose, etc. The batching of the Bible of Satanism is a sign of an inverted pentagram , there is often a head of a goat in the inverted pentagram.”

Clark said: "The goat usually represents a sinner. The murderer's pose at the death scene may have two meanings. One is that the deceased has indeed committed something, and the second is that the murderer believes that the crime of the deceased is unforgivable."

Clark looked at Kate's surprised expression, blinked, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Kate turned her head and said, "Are all of you PhD students in this encyclopedia type?"

Clark understood, and said, "Are you talking about Dr. Rhett?"

Kate looked distressed and said, "How likely do you think this case is a serial murder?" Clark smiled wryly.

The criminals are so familiar with the killing techniques that make the deceased show a peaceful expression. The neatly arranged crime scene is almost exquisite, and the place of sacrifice without a trace of blood. Such a simple and precise killing technique is extremely likely to be a serial murder case.

Only at this time, Clark did not expect that this case was literally related to Satan.
