The next morning.
As usual, Zhang Zian got up, cooked, ate, dismantled the tent, and repacked his luggage.
Last night was a rare peaceful night. It was so quiet that Zhang Zian was not used to it. It felt like a pond before a summer thunderstorm.
It was still the same in the morning.
Zhang Zian yawned as he packed his things into his backpack. Although nothing had happened last night, he was still awake. Sometimes he would fall asleep, and then he would wake up inexplicably. He would raise his head to listen to the movements outside the tent, and after ten seconds, his head would fall back onto the pillow with relief.
"Isn't it a little too quiet …" Richard mumbled.
"What did you say?" Zhang Zian did not hear it clearly.
Richard rolled his little black eyes and looked around suspiciously. "I mean, don't you think it's too quiet, you idiot?"
"What are you talking about?" Zhang Zian was busy with his work. He glanced at the elfins and the deer. Everything was normal.
Richard restrained his frivolous tone, which was rare. "How come there's not even a bird around? I didn't even hear a bird chirp this morning. Don't you think it's weird, you idiot? "
Zhang Zian did not pay attention to this. He stopped what he was doing and listened carefully.
The trees in Mahogany Forest Park were mainly mahogany trees. Other trees were rare because mahogany trees were too tall for other trees to compete with them for sunlight.
The branches and leaves of each tall and thick mahogany tree covered a large area like a canopy. As a result, when walking in the forest, you could hear the endless chirping of birds, but not a single bird could be seen.
Now, not even a bird chirp could be heard.
Zhang Zian carried his heavy backpack like a snail every day. He also had to pay attention to the movements around him in case of sudden danger. He did not have much time to pay attention to the chirping of birds. But now that he thought about it, he was woken up by the chirping of birds when he overslept in the morning.
After hearing what Richard said, Zhang Zian listened carefully for a while. He did not hear any bird chirping, which was very unusual in the dense virgin forest.
"Is it too early? The nocturnal birds have just returned to their nests to rest, and the diurnal birds have not left their nests yet?" He suggested a possibility.
Richard scratched its feathers with its beak in disdain. "You really want to act like an idiot? Do you think that a bird's activity is the same as a human's work that can be accurately summed up by the three numbers 996?"
Zhang Zian said, "… It's not up to you to despise me, and I have long been freed from the 996."
In fact, he knew what it said made sense, but the reason he gave was very far-fetched.
"Let's observe along the way. There's no need to rush to a conclusion," he said.
Richard was not convinced and shouted, "You dare to question my observation? Are you tired of living, you idiot? " Although I can't see at night, my heart is bright! Don't observe with your eyes, observe with your heart, understand? "
Zhang Zian rarely heard such philosophical words from its mouth, and he quite agreed with it.
Richard answered his own question without waiting for him to answer, "No, you don't understand. You only know how to observe the world with your ass eyes."
When Zhang Zian picked up his hiking stick and was about to hit it, it had already flown to a higher branch.
He needed to observe further to confirm the bird's chirping, but what was the point of confirming it?
In addition, regarding what happened yesterday, the lines on the foreheads of the cats that were bitten to death also needed further observation. He could not remember the lines on the forehead of the first mixed breed Maine, and the other three were too few to be used as samples.
After packing up, he didn't rush to summon the elfins. Instead, he took out his phone, aimed at the open space, and clicked to release Snowy Lionet.
"Meow, meow, meow?"
Snowy Lionet appeared on the fallen leaves with a confused look, blinking its eyes and looking around.
"Why is it still in the forest? Why hasn't this stinky man become a little sister? "it said gloomily.
It turned to see Fina and happily moved its short legs to Fina's side. "Your Majesty! I missed you so much! It's hard to trek in the forest, and you're covered in dust. I'll lick your fur for you! "
It had only taken two steps when Zhang Zian stopped it with his leg.
"What do you want, stinky man?" She widened her eyes, bared her fangs and brandished her claws, and threatened, "Do you think that I won't dare to give you Force Removal in the forest?"
"I called you out mainly to ask you for a favor." Zhang Zian automatically ignored its other words.
"Help? If you want me to castrate myself, I'd be happy to. "It licked its claws and stared at his crotch maliciously.
Zhang Zian took out a piece of charcoal from behind him. It was left over from the bonfire last night.
"Actually, you don't have to do anything. I just need to draw a few strokes on your forehead," he said.
Snowy Lionet opened its mouth wide in shock. It was stunned for a while, and then it complained to Fina as if it had been wronged, "Your Majesty! You must uphold justice for this servant ah! This stinky man wants to draw a tortoise on my forehead! "
What the f * ck is this mess?!
Snowy Lionet shouted angrily, "When you, a stinky man, didn't wake up, I showed mercy and didn't draw a tortoise on your face. Now you want to bite the hand that feeds you? I didn't misjudge you. All stinky men deserve to die! "
"No, you didn't draw at that time because your claws couldn't hold the pen, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't have let go of that opportunity! "Zhang Zian complained.
Snowy Lionet was embarrassed and angry as if it had been exposed. "Bah bah bah! Why do you care? Anyway, I didn't draw! "
Quarreling with Snowy Lionet was as meaningless as bickering with Richard. It would always drag him to the same level as itself and then defeat him with its rich experience.
"I don't want you to draw a tortoise on your face. I just want you to draw a few vertical lines," he explained, looking at the black tortoise pattern on Snowy Lionet's forehead.
Snowy Lionet's whole body was as white as snow, but there was a black tortoise pattern on its forehead. He felt that it could be used.
The detective analyzed the preferences of the serial killer. What should he do next? It was impossible to wait for the killer to make a mistake. If he waited, he could only watch the number of victims continue to increase. The correct approach was to, on the one hand, provide protection to high-risk groups that matched the characteristics of the victims, and on the other hand, take the initiative to attack. Let the police officers disguise themselves and act as the type of victim that the killer liked. Then, they would wander around the areas where the killer might appear and attract the killer to come out.
Of course, it was definitely not enough to just the police officers themselves. There had to be more police officers around in disguise to secretly protect them. Otherwise, if even the police officers were killed, the entire police station would be humiliated.
Vladimir wanted to volunteer and let Zhang Zian draw a few M-shaped black lines on its forehead. It would act as bait and attract the beasts to appear. However, he considered that in the event of a conflict, it would be the main attack force, and it looked very alert. It didn't look like it was easy to bully, so it might not necessarily attract the beasts.
