Chapter 828 Evil Devils and Torment in Hell
Zhang Zhong's guess was right. After Feng He returned from Chicago, he was stopped by a group of domestic reporters at Yanjing's airport.

And within a week after the end of the Nebula Awards, the global sales of his "Far Side of the Earth" directly doubled.

"Look how efficient they won this award."

Seeing Fenghe's news on TV, mother Hu Huifang said with a smile.

"It may be difficult for me to double my sales." Zhang Zhong also laughed.

The sales volume of Feng He's new book doubled because the sales volume of "Far Side of the Earth" was not particularly high.And Zhang Zhong's book, even "A Clockwork Girl", which is not selling well, has sold tens of millions.

If you want to double it, it will be hundreds of millions.

After Zhang Zhong received the award in Chicago, he flew directly to Yundian.

As of now, their family has been playing in Yundian for more than a week.

There are not many cities to visit this year, so they will stay in Yundian for a while, and they will not return to Jiangyang until early August.

It was also in Yunnan that Zhang Zhong completed the first draft of "Blind Spot 2".

"Blind Spot 2" will be two years after "Blind Spot 1" on the timeline, which is Qin Lang's fifth year as a criminal policeman.

The story begins with a disappearance case.

At first, someone reported missing in the jurisdiction, and the missing person was a child. Because the time was relatively short, he was not handed over to the criminal police. However, within just 48 hours, another similar disappearance case occurred.

Because all the missing boys were about seven years old, and the missing places were within two kilometers of each other, these two pieces of information aroused great attention from the police station.

Qin Lang officially took over the case, and within 24 hours there was a new progress in the case, but it was not good news. They finally found two bodies, which were the two missing boys.

After a lot of checking and monitoring, they saw a suspect wearing a mask, sunglasses and cap.

The height is 1.7 meters five, the weight is 65 kg to 35 kg, and the age is about [-] years old.

But apart from this information, because the place where the body was dumped is [-] kilometers away from the place where the child disappeared, the police judged that the suspect should have a vehicle or other means of transportation.

What is the specific means of transport, the police have no clue.

In desperation, the criminal police team could only conduct a large-scale investigation based on the only information.

The result was nothing.

The suspect revealed very few clues, which shows that the two murders are likely to be premeditated, otherwise it would be impossible for the suspect to escape key monitoring and find a suitable place to dump the body.

Locals are more likely to commit crimes.

However, after investigating the social relationship, there is no connection between the two boys. Although they live relatively close, the two children go to different schools, and the parents of the children have no contact.

In such cases, the motive for the crime is difficult to ascertain.

Qin Lang and the others are very troubled, especially afraid of the perverted serial murder case.

If it is a perverted serial murder case, it means that other victims are likely to appear later, and the motive of the perverted murder case is "simple", so it is difficult to investigate.

Unlike ordinary homicides, where people kill for money, check the debt and interest relationship, love murder check the relationship between men and women, vendetta check who the victim has grievances with, anyway, check the victim's social relationship , The suspect can basically be locked.

But he came here for whatever he was afraid of, and soon there was a third murder case, but it was not in the local area.

The third murder occurred in Xin'an, and the victim was also a seven-year-old boy.

The forensic doctor told Qin Lang that the corpses of the three children all had a distinctive feature, that is, the position of the heart was cut open.

Because there were many incisions on the corpse, this feature did not attract the attention of the forensic doctor in the first two cases. Until the third case, the forensic doctor speculated that the other incisions may have been deliberately made by the suspect to cover up the knife on the chest, just to confuse police.

At the same time, Qin Lang learned from the forensic doctor that the murderer's dominant hand was the left hand, and the wound was smooth, so it was likely done by someone in a related industry.

Even if he is not a doctor, he is a person who often uses a knife.

Suddenly got a lot of clues, but Qin Lang was not happy at all, because the murder happened in Xin'an, and the scope of their investigation suddenly increased.

Before, they generally believed that the other party was probably a native of Jiangyang, because it seemed that the suspect was very familiar with Jiangyang.

But judging from the third murder case, the other party seemed to be very familiar with Xin'an.

Someone even talked to the suspect. According to eyewitnesses, the suspect's accent was a bit like that of a northerner, and his voice was a bit hoarse.

like northerners...

The case seems to be getting more and more complicated.

Even if the eyewitness heard correctly and the other party was really a northerner, it would be difficult to investigate, because there are so many tourists who come to Xin'an every day, and many of them are northerners.

Just when the case was at a loss, Qin Lang met Tang Chuan in Xin'an.

Tang Chuanxue is a well-known detective and has a great reputation in the criminal investigation field.Knowing that he was in Xin'an, Qin Lang specially went to him, hoping to get some information from this well-known detective.

Tang Chuanxue was also very interested in this case, so he intervened in this case as a special expert.

In fact, Tang Chuan is very afraid of children, and he is even unwilling to talk to children. However, although the victims of this case are all children, it has no impact on Tang Chuan.

Originally, Qin Lang wanted Tang Chuan to analyze the murderer's psychology, why did he target a seven-year-old boy.

But it's a pity that Yu Chuan is proficient in physics. Although he is very insightful, he doesn't have much research on criminal psychology.

The help he can give Qin Lang is to help find some clues that everyone has not noticed, and to connect those clues that don't make sense.

The first clue that Tang Chuanxue provided Qin Lang was that he found something different from the other cuts on the corpse. The other cuts that were originally thought to be suspicious were probably a special symbol.

In order to find out what these symbols were, Tang Chuan also made a special call to his friend Langdon who was far away in the United States.

After seeing the picture, Langdon, an expert in semiotics, told Tang Chuan that he speculated that these knife edges may contain two symbols, namely the Lucifer coat of arms and the trident.

Lucifer's coat of arms is a special symbol that is said to be used by some Satanists, but it doesn't appear often.It is said that the original purpose of use was to aid in visualization when summoning the fallen angel Lucifer.

The trident is more common, which itself represents Poseidon, the god of the sea, but since the Middle Ages, this symbol has begun to symbolize the evil devil and the torment in hell.
