Chapter 25 The Bone Tree Case
Just as Zhu Jue thought, Suzi returned to the clinic at midnight.
Zhu Jue was not in a hurry to go to bed. After a simple wash, he met in the small living room on the second floor to exchange information.
Pull up the curtains to cover up the wind and rain outside. In order to ensure the secret, the chandelier in the living room was not turned on, but a table lamp with a lampshade was placed on the round table in the center. The lighting range was limited to the sofa where two people were sitting.
The wind chime is the most satisfied with this.
Lie at the junction of light and darkness, and occasionally use your claws to stretch and contract on both sides.
"Who said first?"
Zhu Jue, who was wearing pajamas, asked while lighting incense with a lighter.
"Let me talk first. Before you came back, I had sorted out the information I got tonight. There was not much content and I could finish it soon."
At this time, Suzi also took off her coat and only wore a black I-shaped vest. She tied her short hair behind her ears, and turned on the notes on the desktop.
She herself didn't need this thing, she just wanted to take care of Zhu Jue, a "ordinary person".
"Let's talk about the murder case in Community No. 15 first. I found a patrol member who was in charge of the case investigation at the time. The money offensive you mentioned is very useful. I am a special reporter..."
"Special reporter?"
"It's just the paparazzi of gossip news. This is what is introduced on the Internet. This identity is safer, not to mention the news agency they belong to."
With this identity and the thick stack of money in front of the patrol members, Suzi easily pried open the former's mouth.
The murder case on the second floor of the Meise Rose Nightclub occurred in the No. 15 community, is not an independent case, and even cases like the patrol team have a unified name, the Bone Tree Murder!
"According to the other party, the bone tree... bones, bones, and victims of the bone tree murder case showed surprisingly consistent states after death, that is, some part of the bones in the body must change, and a plant similar to a lotus pod will grow at the back of the head."
In the notebook, I wrote three short sentences: skeletal changes, serial murders, and lotus-like plants. Su Zi's eyes turned to Zhu Jue, waiting for his inquiry.
"This kind of method is not common. In fact, I have just obtained some similar information... Since it is a serial murder case, the patrol must also attach great importance to it. Have they found anything?"
The information given by Rona was related to the Thorn Sect, and Zhu Jue also felt that it was extremely likely, but no matter what, they concluded based on a photo three years ago.
It is obviously far from trying to use this as the key to discovering the hidden secrets of the Thorn Sect.
Let’s put aside the information obtained in the arena for the time being, Zhu Jue wants to know whether the Qianfan City Patrol has made any breakthroughs in this regard.
After all, compared with Zhu Jue and Suzi, two "detectives" who became monks halfway through, the Qianfan City Patrol is a regular inspection department no matter how you say it. The investigation process is more organized, and the social resources that can be mobilized and the official care and cooperation are not comparable to them.
"According to the patrol's investigation habits, they investigate from two aspects, one is the victim's background!"
While Suzi was speaking, she picked up a pen and kept writing some names, career names or backgrounds in her notebook, and then said,
"The police officer I bought has participated in the Bone Tree case, so he remembers the situation of many victims, and I'll list them all here."
Sereth, leader of the Silt Gang, one of the 15 community local snakes (the most recent victim)
Rafglovsky, Community 17, violent criminals.
John Minkos, Community 21, drug dealer.
......
"Why are there all the scum?"
His eyes swept through the victim's resume, and Zhu Jue immediately found the common point of these people.
"Yes, all the victims so far have criminal records or gangsters, and almost everyone can describe them as what you call human scum."
"What is the purpose of specifically picking these people? You should know that a considerable number of the people you listed have power support. Killing them will only attract enemies other than patrols, and they are those who use any means, right?"
“Maybe it is executing justice?”
Suzi suddenly said.
"Executing justice in this way... Although these people deserve to die, this method is a bit too extreme no matter what, right?"
I reached out and clicked on the photo of the bone tree on the desktop. Even though I had seen it a few times before, it still looked shocking now.
"It is not so much to simply execute justice, but rather to say that this is only part of the idea contained in this action, and there must be other reasons for the murderer to turn the victim into this state."
"It seems that the key to the problem is the killing method!"
The shape of the bone tree undoubtedly crosses the boundaries of justice execution and has a strong purpose.
"Yes, it seems that you have also discovered the beauty of the blind child."
I don’t know when Zhu Jue retracted into the sofa, put his hands together and placed them on his lips, squinted his eyes and pretended to be a big detective.
"This is exactly the second point I want to say. The patrol investigation of murder methods is no longer limited to internal forensic institutions. It is said that it has applied for testing to a scientific research institution in Shangcheng District. The results have not been announced yet or the results may not be found."
Completely ignoring Zhu Jue's pretending, Su Zi continued on her own.
Such extremely special methods of crimes are naturally impossible for the patrol team to ignore them. It is estimated that the investigation has been underway since the first case.
However, judging from the fact that the murderer has not been caught and no information has been released to the public, the progress in this regard is probably not as smooth as expected.
"When I mention this, I'll show you something. You wait first, I have to go back to my room to get it."
Because of the pajamas, Zhu Jue had no pockets, and the anchiagra ball was obviously not something that could be taken out of his pocket. He could only pretend to go back to the room, and then took out the things with a space ring outside the door and returned to the living room. In addition, the information obtained from the training room of the arena was also in hand.
In a relatively simple wording, he described the things he experienced in the arena from beginning to end, and emphasized the origin of these two things in his hands.
As expected, Suzi's attention was quickly attracted by the echinoderm ball.
"The corresponding items cannot be found on the Internet. You have to use professional tools to detect what is hidden in it. According to you, the situation above the monster's head is somewhat similar to the situation of the victims in the Bone Tree Case. Does this mean that the bone trees formed by the victims have also produced such... fruit-like things?"
The dark brown color seems to indicate that some unknown uneven skin is shining with metallic color under the light of the table. When touching, you can feel the coldness very obviously. Ordinary people will feel dizzy even if they glance at it for a few times.
Only Suzi and Zhu Jue can hold it in their hands and study it indifferently.
"Talk about the plant on the back of the head of the victim in the Bone Tree Case... In fact, when I saw it, I thought something should have grown on it."
Pick up the photo and look at it. Use a red oily pen to circle the special features of the back of the head.
"Is there any murderer who created the Bone Tree case looking for this kind of thing?"
Suzi said, holding the anesthetic fruit,
"The conditions here are not enough to let us find out its secrets. Will we send it back to Dawn City for research?"
Instruments in private clinics may come in handy, but to know what they are, it is obviously not possible to draw conclusions with these instruments.
No, no matter how much time you have to waste this round and round, this thing is something condensed from the head of the monster from the source of mental pollution. It seems not very threatening now. If something goes wrong during the research process, do you think that old guy Fu Yingxiong can hold back?"
Intuition tells Zhu Jue that the anchia fruit is best not to take it out at will, and staying with you is the best choice.
"I suggest using the clinic to purchase new instruments as a cover-up to purchase some special instruments, and conduct testing here. You make a purchase list and I'll pay."
"Well...I'm not sure which instruments are useful, it would be a considerable expense."
Suzi relies on the analysis ability of the database to operate the instruments, and the key is that she does not know which instrument can detect this anthracene fruit.
"Isn't what I said bluntly enough? All you have to do is write down the instruments you may need on the list, and you don't have to worry about the rest."
Zhu Jue is still qualified to say the saying "Things that can be solved with money are not a problem."
Besides, when is it time to spend money without spending money?
"Since you said that, I have no objection."
"In addition, the information in this U disk still depends on you to analyze and crack. The human experiment in the arena training room may not be the kind of human experiment I came into contact with in the game of death, but it is certain that there must be some connection between the two, and its priority is above the anisotrophin fruit. I guess you have been busy recently."
Compared with the uncertainty of the echinoderm fruit, the data in the U disk is an important foreseeable source of clues and naturally needs to be treated first.
"I understand, I just found out about the Rangers organization where Lin Godo was mentioned earlier. This organization is actually the thief organization you saw when you went out at night. However, Rangers are the name they and the lower-level people call this organization, and the latter is the official title."
Suzi sat upright on the sofa, Lin Godo also needs attention to things about Lin Godo, and then said,
"At present, we don't know what the purpose of the Youth Die organization sending people to the clinic. Should we find an opportunity to quit her?"
"No need. Resigning her will cause suspicion. Just keep her under your nose and pay more attention. There are too many things to be busy with in the near future, and it is not worth it to do with too much energy..."
Halfway through his words, Zhu Jue suddenly fell into silence.
Thinking of the many new clues that the things at hand may bring, Zhu Jue suddenly realized that as the investigation deepened, he would face a very complicated situation in the next period of time.
At this time, the dream-like thing became a thorn in his heart.
It has been a week without realizing it. It is not that I am afraid of the urging of the Great Elder Atal, but that it will definitely take time to go to the Great Library of Solan City to do business. Even if the real world may only take an hour or two, the experience in the dreamland is also real for Zhu Jue.
When there are more things to do in the future, suddenly changing the environment to do other things will definitely affect the state.
This feeling is like suddenly opening the game halfway through homework. When two or three games are over, the formulas in my mind will become a ball of mud.
Therefore, under the premise that his mental state has recovered, Zhu Jue thought about whether to enter the dream first, and at least solve the problem of the Solan Library first.
After obtaining the current location information of "Naket's Codex", Sheng kept remembering it in his mind.
"what's on your mind?"
Suzi thought Zhu Jue had thought of some clues and asked.
"It's okay, I'm just a little tired. If there's nothing to do, I want to go and rest first."
