This was a small alley in Jiang Jin that usually did not attract much attention.
In the past, on this small alley filled with trash and debris, there would only occasionally be salarymen who had missed the bus running by in a hurry, or some gangsters gathering together to smoke.
But now, it was particularly lively here.
The police set up a yellow barrier outside the alley, and several police cars with flashing lights were parked. The police gathered here with heavy expressions.
This naturally activated the inherent nature of the people of the Celestial Empire. Even if they could not see the specific situation in the alley, they still gathered outside the barrier to watch.
Some of the younger ones did not forget to take photos and post them on their Weibo moments. After finishing a speech that had nothing to do with the photos, they did not forget to add a sentence at the end, "This can't help but make me fall into deep thought." The other onlookers on their Weibo moments were even more confused. They could only rely on their imagination to understand the profound meaning contained in it. When the time came, they would casually add a few perfunctory words and criticize the system's problems. The kind of public elite style that was full of vigor and vigor while pointing out the country's national affairs came out.
In short, when the police were taking photos to collect evidence, another police car drove over.
After awkwardly parking on the side of the road, Xiao Zhengyi got out of the car with Fang Xiaoqing and walked towards the scene of the crime. After showing the police officer who was in charge of separating the crowd outside, he passed through the barrier and arrived at the scene of the crime.
Although there was no corpse, the large pool of dark red liquid on the ground left traces that were quite obvious.
"It's blood, and it's human blood." The team leader in charge of this case saw Xiao Zhengyi frowning as he looked at the dark red substance on the ground and said.
"How much blood is this …" Xiao Zhengyi could not help but click his tongue.
After Fang Xiaoqing saw this scene, her face did not look too good. She just stood behind Xiao Zhengyi and did not say a word.
Not only the entire alley, but even the walls on both sides of the alley were splashed with blood. Moreover, it was not a thin layer, but rather a thick layer of blood.
And because it had warmed up in the past two days, even at the entrance of the alley, one could smell the stench of rust. It was no wonder that after a case happened in such a remote place, it was discovered before the blood completely oxidized and turned black.
"From the height of the blood splashed, what do you think it means …" The team leader of the case team raised his head and motioned for Xiao Zhengyi to observe carefully.
The latter hurriedly looked carefully according to the team leader's words.
He found that the highest blood stains on both sides of the wall were about five or six meters.
He, who had no experience in this kind of case, could only try his best to guess what the old senior wanted to say.
"Does it mean that the victim's hypertension?"
"…"
The other party had an expression that said, 'You didn't become an official through the back door, did you?'
In a sense, Xiao Zhengyi, who did get in through the back door, immediately lowered his attitude and waited for the old senior to solve his doubts.
Although he was a little speechless that a hothead like Xiao Zhengyi could become his colleague, and for some reason, the higher-ups asked him to try his best to cooperate with the other party to solve the case, the team leader was still quite satisfied with Xiao Zhengyi's tactful attitude.
"The victim was probably killed on a high place. The shape of this blood stain is not so much a splash, but more like a stain from above. This can also explain why there are so many blood stains on the ground …" At this point, the team leader paused, then continued with a somewhat unpleasant expression, "Of course, there is another possibility, and that is, there may be more than one victim this time."
"Above?" Xiao Zhengyi subconsciously looked up and found that both sides were more than twelve floors of office buildings.
Unfortunately, he was not a student or a detective who liked to bet in the name of his grandfather, so he could not find any other clues.
"Could it be that the murderer committed the murder on the rooftop?" he asked.
"No, we didn't find any traces of the murder on the rooftop … Also, if the murderer really killed the victim from such a high place, the blood stains should be stuck to a higher place." The team leader shook his head and said, "That's why this case is strange … From the traces at the scene, the murderer should be a giant over five meters tall, but this is impossible in reality."
Currently, the world's recognized tallest person was Robert Wardlow, who was 2.72 meters tall. Even if unofficial records were included, it was only 3.19 meters tall, Zhan Shichai.
Five meters tall … Even if such a person did exist, they would be bedridden because their bones and internal organs could not bear the burden. It was impossible for such a person to have the ability to hang someone up and kill them.
"What about the victim's body?" Unlike the team leader who was still thinking about the case, Xiao Zhengyi naturally skipped this topic.
Because he knew that although there were no such "people" in this world, there were such "monsters".
No wonder the superiors of the Super Administrative Office asked him to assist in the investigation of this case. If this case really involved an existence beyond the surface of the world, then it was indeed the responsibility of their department.
"I haven't found it yet … But if my guess is correct, I'll probably find it soon."
"Guess?" Xiao Zhengyi looked curiously at the police officers who were rummaging through the garbage. He couldn't help but ask curiously, "The murderer made the crime scene so obvious, is it worthwhile to hide the body?"
By the way, because of the warm weather, many flies had appeared on the garbage, which made people feel disgusted … This could be seen from the expressions on the faces of the police officers.
But this time, before the team leader could answer, a young criminal police officer not far away shouted, "Found it! Team leader, I found it! "
As he spoke, he picked up a black bag the size of a watermelon from the garbage he was rummaging through.
However, perhaps due to nervousness or other reasons, his hand was not steady. With a shake, the item in the bag rolled out and fell to the ground with a disgusting sound effect.
It was a human head.
Since the body was covered in blood, Lin Sanjiu could not see the details clearly. She could only vaguely make out that it was a middle-aged man. However, even the thick layer of blood could not hide the look of horror and despair on the face of the deceased, as if he had seen something unbelievable.
The flies circling around the deceased's head only added to the eerie feeling.
Because the impact of the other party's tragic death was so strong that Xiao Zhengyi felt that he might have nightmares for a long time …
As for Fang Xiaoqing, who could still barely keep calm, at this moment, she couldn't help but rush out of the alley with a pale face.
"Humph, so that's how it is …" The leader of the investigation team was not frightened, but his face did not look too good. He ordered the other officers, "You kid, quickly put away the head of the deceased … and you guys, even though we probably won't find anything if we continue to search … but let's do a thorough check according to the rules."
"Eh? This is a murder and dismemberment case! Why do you think there won't be anything? Maybe you can find other body parts of the deceased in the garbage … "At this point, Xiao Zhengyi suddenly seemed to realize something and showed a look of realization," Wait, could it be … "
"Oh, it seems that you are not completely stupid." The hale and hearty old man … Well, actually, he was at most a middle-aged man in his fifties. He grinned, but there was no trace of a smile in his eyes, "Because this is not only a murder and dismemberment case, but also a serial murder case!"
"Sure enough!"
Xiao Zhengyi, whose conjecture was confirmed, understood everything at this moment.
Why did the upper echelons of the Super Administrative Office know about the crime scene not long after it happened, and sent him to intervene in this matter? Because this was not the first time this kind of case had happened … Because it was a supernatural event, the previous cases were suppressed and not made public. Only the upper echelons who had internal information channels knew bits and pieces of it …
"This is the fifth case, a strange murder case with only a head left. The previous cases did not happen in Jiang Jin, but every previous case was closer to here. I knew it would happen here sooner or later … And not only in the Celestial Empire, strange murder cases have begun to appear all over the world. This world is really not peaceful. "
The team leader shook his head and sighed like a decadent uncle.
"Don't worry, if it happened in other cities, it would be fine."
Xiao Zhengyi sneered, and his gaze became firm, "Since the criminal dared to do such a thing in Jiang Jin, then he should be mentally prepared to be arrested!"
"You little brat …" Hearing Xiao Zhengyi's words, the team leader was a little surprised.
"Don't worry about this matter, just leave it to me."
Xiao Zhengyi did not explain, and only left the other policemen with his back facing the light as he slowly walked out of the alley, "I'm not so magnanimous that I won't be angry about some strange guy messing around in my hometown!"
The cold wind blew, and Xiao Zhengyi's unbuttoned police uniform fluttered in the wind. The hem of his uniform fluttered like a windbreaker, and he looked inexplicably handsome. It even made the other policemen have a feeling that 'maybe this guy can really solve this case'.
☆
"Hurry up and help me, Brother Shenxing! Brother, my glory and wealth are all tied to you! "
"Are you a wild man?!"
Xu Shenxing looked at Xiao Zhengyi who was asking him for help, and was a little speechless.
Initially, he was wondering what this guy, who had not appeared for a long time, was here for. In the end, it was just an inexplicable task …
"That, that … do you have any way to solve this case in one go …"
Xiao Zhengyi did not feel that he was an uninvited guest, and shamelessly asked.
"No, scram!"
Xu Shenxing did not hesitate to refuse, "Mo Li, see the guest out."
Thus, Mo Li silently walked in front of Xiao Zhengyi, and then made a Bruce Lee pose.
Cold sweat broke out on Xiao Zhengyi's forehead at once.
He was not afraid of Xu Shenxing. After all, although that guy was temperamental, he was still within the range of a normal person, and after getting familiar with him, he was surprisingly easy to talk to.
Mo Li was different. This little girl did not listen to anyone other than Xu Shenxing, and although her appearance was soft and weak like a standard loli, she was actually terrifyingly strong. He once saw Mo Li punch a black bear into the cement floor. Although Xu Shenxing explained to him that the black bear was a demon, and that it became a demon before the founding of the People's Republic of China, these words only increased Mo Li's fighting power by a notch, and from killing a bear empty-handed to killing a demon bear empty-handed, there was no explanation at all!
"Wait! I still have something to say, can you make this girl stop? "Xiao Zhengyi hurriedly said.
"UCCU, as a member of the official violence department, is it appropriate for you to be afraid of a little girl?!" Xu Shenxing mocked as if it had nothing to do with him.
"Don't mess around, this girl can easily beat the shit out of me if she gets serious!"
He had no doubt that if Mo Li got serious, even with the help of the Yuanrong Sword's sword spirit, she could definitely beat the shit out of them …
"No, you're mistaken," Xu Shenxing said very seriously.
"Now that things have come to this, what are you still trying to hide …"
"What I mean is, even if she doesn't get serious, she can still beat the shit out of you."
"…"
In short, after admitting defeat, Xu Shenxing was finally willing to listen to Xiao Zhengyi's explanation of the situation in Jiang Jin.
Xiao Zhengyi took out a file from his chest, ignored the word 'confidential' written on the back, and opened it just like that. He took out the case file and some photos taken at the scene.
After using the other party's eloquent narration as background music, Xu Shenxing began to carefully read the case file.
But as he read, his eyebrows couldn't help but furrow.
According to the file, this case had happened a total of five times. Judging from the difficulty of the crime and the modus operandi, it shouldn't be a copycat. So far, only the heads of the five victims had been found, and the rest of the bodies had not been found.
If that was the case, it naturally wouldn't attract the attention of the Super Administrative Office. The key point was that out of the five cases, there was a witness.
The witness's testimony was very strange. According to him, the victim was running for his life as if he was being chased by something, but in the end, he couldn't run away. Then, as if he was hung upside down by an invisible monster, he was eaten bite by bite starting from his feet until his neck was bitten off. The victim's head was still alive, but without his vocal cords, he couldn't make a sound. His face was horribly distorted for more than ten seconds before he completely died …
By the way, this witness was already under protection, but it seemed that because the scene was too shocking, it caused him to become mentally unstable. Due to the negligence of the protection personnel, he committed suicide by jumping off a building.
"Invisible monster …" Xu Shenxing felt like he had seen a similar video recently.
After thinking for a moment, he said to Mo Li, "Mo Li, go call the new tenant down … Um, if you see Xingyan, tell her to come over."
"Okay." Mo Li obediently put down the controller, but after thinking for a bit, she picked up the controller and saved a file. Then, she ran up the stairs.
"Did you think of anything?"
Xiao Zhengyi saw that Xu Shenxing's expression was a little strange, so he couldn't help but ask.
"I'm not sure yet, but let's ask first."
Xu Shenxing shook his head and replied.
No matter what, the incident described by the only witness was too similar to the surveillance video that Zhu Shutong found of humans being attacked by Nightmares in the Magical Girl world: an invisible man-eating monster, only the person being attacked could see the appearance of the monster. Because the monster could move through the mirror, it didn't leave any traces …
Could it be that bringing Yue Zhengjing and the Holy Ring to this world had caused this world to be distorted as well?
Seeing the magical girl Yue Zhengjing reluctantly walk down the stairs, Xiao Zhengyi couldn't help but be shocked. Then, he looked at Xu Shenxing with a "Chang Wei, you still say you're not a lolicon" expression.
In the end, Xu Shenxing stabbed him in the eyes with a scissor hand.
Ignoring Xiao Zhengyi who was rolling on the ground and screaming, Xu Shenxing said to the little girl, "Sorry, because something happened, I have some questions to ask you."
After carefully avoiding Xiao Zhengyi, Yue Zhengjing sat down on the sofa and replied calmly, "Okay!"
"…"
Well, it seems that this guy has been addicted to Qing Dynasty dramas recently.
After slightly adjusting his mood and deciding to take over the TV so that the little girl could only watch Xiyangyang and Boonie Bears, Xu Shenxing asked straightforwardly, "You said before that although it's more difficult than the Yuezheng Ningning world, it's possible to open a mirror world in this world, right?"
"Yeah, didn't you ask this question already?"
Yue Zhengjing, who didn't know that her TV was about to be dominated by domestic animation, nodded.
"Then can you feel that other than you, there are other people in this world who can create a mirror world?"
"No."
"…"
Xu Shenxing almost flipped the table and shouted, "What's the use of having you?"
"Because in this world, other than me, there is no other person who can create a mirror world."
However, the little girl's next sentence calmed Xu Shenxing down.
"You mean, there are no other mirror worlds in this world?" He asked with some confusion.
"Yeah, unless I open it, there is no mirror world in this world." The little girl nodded.
This made Xu Shenxing a little surprised, but at the same time, he realized that he seemed to be looking in the wrong direction.
"Then, can you explain what you said in a way that I can understand?" Xiao Zhengyi, who finally recovered, asked weakly.
"No, get out!"
"Why?!"
"Because uncle who is rolling on the ground while covering his face is too disgusting!" Yue Zhengjing said without hesitation.
"…"
Our public servant comrade was completely disgusted.
