Xiao Liu sent the three Simons out and explained that they couldn't leave Jiangnan City recently and had to be there on call. Only George felt wronged-it's completely none of his business, okay? What a disaster!

In the forensic room, Tang Xi only then began to study the corpse, while asking: "Has the identity of the deceased been found?"

"I am of British Chinese descent." Chu Li leaned against the wall with his arms folded, and said lightly.

"Helping people get the goods?" Tang Xi asked in confusion, "If he earns this kind of money, he can't even make back and forth airfare money, right? What about work?"

"I heard that he is a free novelist." Chu Li's expression was a little weird.

"What did you write about?" Tang Xi asked with interest.

"Looking back, I'll let Xiao Xiao send you the website, you can read it yourself." Chu Li paused and said.

"Oh." Tang Xi nodded and tried to enter the corpse with spiritual power.

A faint black air floated out of the corpse, which was similar to resentment, but it was quite different.

"How is it?" Chu Li asked.

Tang Xi played with that trace of black air in his hand, thought for a while, smiled at Su Wanyi, said "I'm finished", pulled Chu Li into his office, and then said: " Black magic... the person who started it is very powerful, it shouldn't be those two and a half slings."

"But they have something to hide from us and refuse to say." Chu Li said. The acting skills of Simon and Catherine, not to mention the glaring Chu Li, are afraid that George who is with him can see it.

"The deceased or the murderer, there is always one side related to them." Tang Xi has a clear mind.

"What are you going to do?" Chu Li looked at her.

"Aren't you the same." Tang Xi looked back silently.

After a while, the two looked at the side together and turned away.

"The bait has been scattered, it depends on the species of the fish that bit the hook." Chu Li murmured.

"I don't like eating fish with many spines." Tang Xi replied confidently, "Trouble!"

"After you catch it, feed the cat." Chu Li said.

"It makes sense." Tang Xi nodded.

"What did you do to them?" Chu Li asked curiously.

"It's nothing." Tang Xi said lightly, "I just painted two tracking symbols and warning symbols. If someone finds them, I will feel it."

"This is better than hacking|a listening device." Chu Li said.

"The machine will not be tired, no need to sleep, but I need it." Tang Xi retorted blankly.

Chu Li shrugged and opened the topic: "Would you like to go to the scene again?"

"Go chant." Tang Xi had nothing to do, and anyway, she asked for leave in the afternoon.

But when we got to the parking lot, there was a dispute.

"I want to drive!" Tang Xi insisted.

"There is the scene of the murder case. Your car is too conspicuous." Chu Li said in an angry voice, "I don't want to be complained tomorrow."

Tang Xi thought for a while, and asked for the next best thing: "Give me your car."

"..." Chu Li stared at her for a long time, and finally threw the car key to her helplessly.

Tang Xi smiled with satisfaction and seized the driver's seat.

Chu Li sighed, feeling uncomfortable sitting in the co-pilot.

"You see I have endured it for so long, what's the matter with the fun?" Tang Xi started the car and went on the road, smiling casually.

"Don't think I didn't know that you ran out in the middle of the night to drag a car with someone." Chu Li said with his eyes closed and rested.

"Hey, do you still have eyeliner in my dormitory?" Tang Xi asked strangely.

"Who cares about your girls' dormitory?" Chu Li snorted coldly, "I just caught a few rich second-generation racing cars on the national road the day before yesterday. Just listen to their descriptions."

"I didn't go racing on the highway, I had to obey the traffic rules!" Tang Xi defended.

"Dare to obey the traffic rules and immediately revoke the license." Chu Li said.

"Hey, I see." Tang Xi rolled her eyes, turned the steering wheel, and turned into a small road.

"Turn right ahead and drive toward the river." Chu Li just reminded him without opening his eyes.

"Yeah." Tang Xi was not surprised, as he said, turned onto Jiangbin Avenue.

It was also on this road last year. Chu Li opened her eyes and closed her eyes, making her and Pei Qingzhi conspired to "kidnap" the professional assassin Shen Tumin. At this moment, the road has been opened to traffic, but at this point in time, the traffic volume is not large, and it looks like a road. More open.

Chu Li opened his eyes, tilted his head slightly, and his gaze fell on the mirror.

"It wasn't that you told me and Pei Qing last time?" Tang Xi said casually.

"No." Chu Li affirmed.

"So sure?" Tang Xi said strangely.

"This is obviously coming to death." Chu Li sneered.

"..." Tang Xi black line, "This is too arrogant, right? Being a policeman is dead? Oh, it seems that we are the police."

"Indeed, there should be no such arrogance in China." Chu Li frowned slightly.

"I said, did you take anything special from the deceased?" Tang Xi blurted out.

Chu Li was startled, and subconsciously touched his coat pocket.

"Really?" Tang Xi couldn't help raising her voice, "I thought, do you know this is called a private possession?"

"Didn't you learn it from you?" Chu Li sneered.

"Okay..." Tang Xi thought of the forged mobile phone before, unaware, "What did you take?"

"Cufflinks." Chu Li raised his hand and rubbed his temples, and said helplessly, "When I received a report this morning and went to survey the scene, I ran into a boy in the elevator. I gave him a hand and the boy ran away quickly. , I didn’t care. I put my hand in my pocket on the way back, and I didn’t know when an extra ruby ​​cufflink came out."

"Sure it was the kid who put it in?" Tang Xi said.

"Except for the members of the crime team, no one has been close to me. It is impossible to put something on me so easily." Chu Li affirmed.

"There is also Nie Cheng ahead, you are really not wary of children." Tang Xi said dissatisfied.

"Going back to the scene alone, I also want to check the surveillance." Chu Li said to himself, "After thinking about it, this child seemed to be a little bit wrong, there was a sense of...violation."

"Oh? What kind of violation?" Tang Xi asked.

"That's... he hit me, and then ran out quickly... that kind of strange, indescribable." Chu Li hesitated and said again, "Anyway, if I could not see him on both eyes, I thought it was a ghost."

Tang Xi's face slowly became serious.

"Forget it, take care of the first fish caught later." Chu Li said, pulling out his hand|gun, loading the bullet, and opening the insurance.

"It's too cruel." Tang Xi stuck out his tongue.

"Drive the car well." Chu Li confessed and lowered the window.

Tang Xi knew, relying on the wide Jiangbin Road, there were few cars, stepped on the accelerator to put in gear, and the car almost drove forward. The tires gripped the ground and made a harsh rubbing sound.

Seeing this, the Ford driver behind him felt tight and immediately controlled the steering wheel with one hand and reached out to touch his waist.

Seeing his movements, Chu Li slightly raised his lips, holding the armrest on the roof of the car with his left hand to fix his body, while saying "Open steady and don't shake", his right hand stretched out the window.

Ford, who was following, suddenly saw a black muzzle sticking out of the target car's window, and was taken aback, and hurriedly turned the steering wheel to avoid it.

"Bah--" Chu Li didn't turn his head back, looking at the mirror and shooting backwards without hesitation.

With a sharp brake sound, the Ford crashed into the river embankment guardrail out of control.

That shot accurately blasted Ford's front left wheel, and the tires of this car were not pre-installed with tire sealant. In addition, the driver wanted to touch the gun and held the steering wheel with one hand. It was a tragedy.

Tang Xi stepped on the brake and stopped a dozen meters in front of Ford.

A passing vehicle saw an accident and stopped quickly. The driver got out of the car and took a look before preparing to call the police.

"The police chased the wanted man." Chu Li flashed his ID and pressed the driver's police call.

"Ah... hard work." The driver scratched his head, got in the car and drove a distance before remembering that he was chasing the wanted man... it was obvious that the wanted man's car was behind. Is this the wanted criminal who chased the police and was counter-killed? Are the wanted criminals so bold these days!

After dismissing ordinary people, Tang Xi got off the bus from the other side.

Chu Li held a gun in one hand and approached cautiously.

"I'm dizzy." Tang Xi motioned to Su Huang to go to the car and take a look, and suddenly relaxed.

Chu Li was taken aback, put away the gun, and pulled down the deformed car door forcefully.

The airbags in the car bounced out, and the driver was unconscious, with his right hand still in his waist.

Chu Li pulled out his hand, touched it, and he found out a gun, he couldn't help but sneered: "It's true that all the ghosts and monsters have come to Jiangnan City, when I am a dead person?"

"How is it?" Tang Xi leaned over.

"Two ribs are broken, and the dislocation of the broken bone is not serious. As long as it doesn't move, there is no danger to life." Chu Li simply checked and called.

"However, the species of this fish doesn't seem to be right." Tang Xi thoughtfully.

Those who use black magic and those who use guns don't look like people in the same way.

"Huh?" Chu Li suddenly let out a horror. He touched his finger behind the driver's ear, and slowly peeled off a layer of film.

"This is... the legendary silicone|mask?" Tang Xi was shocked.

In martial arts novels, the human skin|mask that can turn oneself into another person does not exist, of course, but the silicone|mask cut with 3D technology in the black market can also have a similar effect. It is impossible to be seamless, but it is still possible to hide it from ordinary people's eyes in daily communication.

Of course, the more high-end masks are lighter, thinner and more breathable, and they will be more invisible under the skull imaging scanner.

In short, it is a tasteless thing that is overkill for ordinary people, but can't fool professionals and instruments. The price is ridiculously high and it is not cost-effective.

The mask and the wig were torn off together, revealing a face with obvious Western characteristics.

"Foreigner?" Tang Xi was not surprised.

"It doesn't seem to be unrelated." Chu Li said.

The two looked at each other, and they put on the gloves and the psychic handguard in a tacit understanding, and began to roll over.

"No."

"Not here either."

Soon, the two said one after another.

From afar, the sounds of ambulances and police cars have been heard.

120 and Xiao Liu arrived almost at the same time.

"Team Chu!" Xiao Liu ran over and said anxiously, "What's the situation?"

"You follow the ambulance, and be careful not to let people run away. People wake up and arrest them directly." Chu Li ordered.

"Charge?" Xiao Liu asked.

"Drive on the road without a license, dangerous driving." Chu Li thought without thinking.

"Oh..." Xiao Liu seemed to be poured cold water, even inexplicably.

I was hurriedly called over, thinking that the case had progressed, but...when did the Chu team actually manage to drive dangerously without a license? Isn't this a matter for the transportation department? Did the crime squad intervene over the border...

"Traffic control over there I will say, in short, people will deduct it for me, no one is allowed to interrogate before I pass." Chu Li said.

"Got it." Xiao Liu followed 120, confused.

Tang Xi got into the car again, fastened his seat belt, and said, "What about illegal gun possession?"

Chu Li threw the seized pistol away, pondered for a while, put the gun in his arms, and then said: "Vaguely foreboding that it will be used, be prepared."

Tang Xi shrugged and continued on the road, while casually saying: "Elegantly hurts the tires too much. I guess you should change your tires again."

"An annual inspection is required in two days, just to take care of it." Chu Li replied.

"Just your driving method, your car is really pitiful." Tang Xi said twice.

"You seem to be very gentle." Chu Li gave her a strange look.

Tang Xi coughed dry.

This time, until reaching the destination, no more accidents were encountered.

The location of the incident was a new community on the riverside. The occupancy rate was not high, less than 20%, and most of them were tenants.

The cordon downstairs of the unit in the accident has been removed, but there are not many residents.

"This is the elevator." Chu Li said.

Tang Xi followed him into the elevator, watched him press the number on the 15th floor, looked up and swept around, and saw the camera installed in the corner.

"Let's take a look at the monitoring." Chu Li said.

Soon, the elevator opened the door on the 15th floor without stopping in public.

This building has a layout of one ladder and two households. On the 15th floor, there is one family on the left and one on the right. The standard door on the left is the standard door installed by the developer, which seems to be empty, and the public security seal is pasted on the right door. It should be the scene of the crime.

Chu Li found the key to open the door, and suddenly, a strong smell of blood rushed out.

"How much blood is this bleeding?" Tang Xi pinched his nose.

"Just look at it...Be mentally prepared." Chu Li reminded.

"It's not like I've never seen blood before, so what to do..." Tang Xi stepped into the door, halfway through a sentence, and stopped abruptly.

The scene before him has a strong impact.

The 30-odd flat living room was empty. The few pieces of furniture that were originally used were moved to the corner. On the white tiled floor, a huge magic circle was painted. Because time has passed, it should have been a bright red color. It became dark brown. The surrounding walls, and even the ceiling, were sprayed with irregular blood stains all over-said to be splashes, this amount and position are more like the feeling of someone splashing a basin full of blood on the wall.

"This... has been tested?" Tang Xi said for a long time.

"It's human blood, but it's not the blood of the dead." Chu Li nodded, "Xiao Su said, the blood here, if not to mention, has the blood of a dozen different people, it's hard to say how much it is, they are all mixed together. Now, it will take time to identify them."

"Couldn't... there are so many dead, right?" Tang Xi's face also turned pale.

If it were true, the brutality of this case might not be less than that of the bone pit at Luming Mountain.

"If this case is not resolved, I'm afraid that we won't be able to spend the New Year's Eve properly." Chu Li said.

Tang Xi was helpless.

Kneeling down, gently wiped the dried magic circle with his fingers, put it on the tip of his nose and smelled it.

"By the way, although it is all human blood, but the wall box ceiling is only blood, other ingredients have been added to this magic circle, but the test results will not come out tomorrow." Chu Li added.

Tang Xi didn't take care of the other things in the room. The crime team had been busy all morning, and the trace examination would not miss a tiny clue.

"There are similarities between the magic array in the West and the talisman in the east. In fact, the power structure is completely different." Tang Xi suddenly said.

"How is it different?" Chu Li asked.

"Our rune formation is actually a kind of power conversion, transforming our spiritual power through runes into attack powers of various attributes, or healing, assisting, and various abilities. But in the final analysis, runes are just tools. , The strength is our own cultivation." Tang Xi said.

"The power of the magic circle is not yours?" Chu Li pondered.

"Magic circle, especially black magic, the core is'contract'." Tang Xi said.

"Contract? With whom did you conclude the contract?" Chu Li blurted out.

The so-called contract, of course, cannot be established by Party A and Party B.

"Full name: the contract with Satan." Tang Xi solemnly said, "At the cost of his soul, he trades with the devil in exchange for a powerful force that is not lost to him."

Chu Li couldn't help but gasped.

"Sacrifice, vitality, soul. The three elements of black magic." Tang Xi concluded.

"It sounds inhumane." Chu Li said.

"Therefore, there are not many real magicians now, and the rest are old magic families." Tang Xi thought for a while, and said, "Those magic families have some for generations to protect their children and magic inheritance. The protection of the body has been handed down, and it is quite mysterious."

"What about this one?" Chu Li handed over a cufflink.

Cufflinks the size of fingernails, pigeon blood red gems gleaming in a misty light, full of brilliance.

Tang Xi picked up the cufflinks with two fingers, shone in the sunlight, her face changed slightly.

"What's the matter?" Chu Li's heart tightened when she saw her expression.

"No, this is not a stone." Tang Xi said solemnly.

"That is the crystallization of something?" Chu Li was startled.

"It's blood. The crystallization of blood." Tang Xi said.

"Impossible!" Chu Li couldn't help saying, "The color of blood is not so light, and the blood crystals will not have this hardness. I scratched it with my nails, and it was unscathed, and I couldn't even leave a trace."

"Of course it's not ordinary blood." Tang Xi laughed and explained, "The last time I went to southern Xinjiang, I got three drops of monster blood in the ghost market. That's the texture."

"You said... the blood of this monster?" Chu Li pointed at the cufflinks, his expression unbelievable.

"Well, what kind of demon's blood is temporarily unknown, but this thing is very precious." Tang Xi's expression was serious. "Three drops of demon blood can make a demon mirror, and it can upset Jiangnan City and condense it like this. A crystal, the amount of blood needed is enough to kill a demon."

"Just a little blood?" Chu Li was puzzled.

"This is not simply cutting the skin and bleeding, but the blood of the monster." Tang Xi squeezed the cufflinks, her voice was cold, "If you take out so much blood, even if you don't die, you will have all repaired and lost your intelligence."

Chu Li was silent.

"Also, in this room, the remaining breath of black magic is so heavy that it is not good for the residents of the entire building." Tang Xi said again.

"This building originally had the lowest occupancy rate. After the incident occurred in the morning, the only two tenants also moved out." Chu Li said.

"Why?" Tang Xi was surprised. Even if the occupancy rate is low, three households live in one building?

"There was a robbery in this building last year. After being hit by the owner, all three of the family were killed." Chu Li explained.

"The murderer caught it?" Tang Xi said.

"I've taken the gun." Chu Li shrugged, "I was impulsive to kill, and the murderer himself did not appeal. The sentence was fast."

Tang Xi sighed again.

I have been in the police station for a long time, especially the crime squad. After hearing too much life and death, I always feel that my heart has become harder.

"Is there anything else I want to see?" Chu Li asked.

"You said the deceased was a writer. Where is the computer on which he writes?" Tang Xi said.

"Already brought back to the game." Chu Li said.

"Oh, then I'll go back and look again." Tang Xi nodded, then glanced at the magic circle on the ground again, with a bad premonition in her heart.

Simon and Catherine have seen the photos, do they know the real purpose of this magic circle?

If the deceased represents a sacrifice, what do you want to get after offering the sacrifice? The key is...have you got it?

While thinking about it, the two left the murder scene and went to the property located in another unit building to check the surveillance.

The property manager said with shame that because the occupancy rate of the community was too low, many of the monitoring systems were just pretends and were not put into use, including the one for entering and exiting the unit door. Fortunately, the monitoring in the elevator was turned on.

Chu Li sent the manager to accompany him, and sat down in front of the computer to adjust the monitoring.

But it was what happened this morning, I found it quickly, fast forward and drag it to the point in time—

In the picture, the elevator door opened, and Chu Li was about to walk into the elevator with a few crew members, but a scene of horror appeared.

"No one?" Chu Li was shocked.

There was no one in the elevator.

However, the next moment, Chu Li, who was walking in the forefront, seemed to have been hit by something, his body slightly leaned back, and then stretched out his hand to help the air, and finally looked back.

A group of people enter the elevator, close the door, and go up.

"This..." Chu Li only felt that a burst of cold behind his back penetrated into his bones, and his heart was cold.

"Not human." Tang Xi affirmed.

"But, obviously I can see it, both sides." Chu Li murmured, "At that time, Xiao Liu also said, "Why did you let the children go out alone if there were murders? Xiao Su took the sentence from the current parents too. Not responsible-everyone has seen it."

"If you can see it, it means it's not a ghost. If the electronic device can't photograph it, it means it's not a human being." Tang Xi said calmly.

"Neither human nor ghost, what would it be?" Chu Li asked.

"Puppet." Tang Xi replied, "It's a created puppet. This is also a branch of magic. It uses part of his soul to inject into the puppet, one heart and one body."

"How terrible it sounds." Chu Li smiled bitterly.

"Magic originated in the Middle Ages. It is also called witchcraft. It was originally a cruel force. The medium used was mostly human blood and ashes. It has only been improved in modern times." Tang Xi replied.

"Don't care about that." Chu Li rubbed his temples and said sternly, "Which side is the one that gave me the blood crystals?"

Tang Xi also felt a headache.

The case is complicated and confusing, and it seems that there are several intrigues. However, in this case, her professional knowledge is only half-knowledge, and there is always a feeling of rejection.

irritable.
