Chapter 205 The Pried-Open Skull

Wu Qiushan was still thinking about what kind of occasion this sword would appear on.

"This is a meat cleaver." Wu Qiushan certainly knew the type of knife. "But why would such a knife appear in a cave like this? I don't think it is specially used to kill people."

This kind of knife is more useful for dismembering corpses than killing people.

But Cen Lian was wondering about another question.

"It can be seen that the clothes left here are used to play some kind of role. It is not difficult to guess that someone pretended to be some kind of 'god' or other role to defraud money and sex. We have also encountered this situation, but they Why did you choose to kill Yang Hongmin?" Cen Lian looked at the clothes stored in the mountain crevice, "Killing the customer is not a wise choice."

Unless Yang Hongmin discovered the murderer's secret and was chosen to kill him in this way.

But this logic seems correct, but it still cannot answer one question, that is, he has seen four cover-ups in Tao Lijun's criminal record, which means that there is not only one person who died at his hands.

If Yang Hongmin was killed because she accidentally discovered their secret, what about the other three people?

There is a more serious problem. This group of people seems to exist because of some kind of cult, but until now, no records related to the cult have been found in Ningxi City.

It's like they've been tracking a cult that doesn't exist.

This is not a good situation.

"What do you think the purpose of this group of people is to put on clothes and pretend to be a certain character?" Cen Lian looked at the meat cleaver still in Wu Qiushan's hand and expressed his doubts.

The person they were looking for was a clear gang. Now the uncle and nephew of the Tao family knew that the police did not have information about the gang, so they would not be able to deceive anything during the interrogation.

"If it were really a cult group that had a wide range of followers, it wouldn't have emerged until now." Wang Yuanteng was also thinking about this issue. "I would prefer it to be one that is closer to a membership system and only in a certain circle." Activities group.”

Cen Lian nodded slightly, all he could think of now was this direction.

"Niche circles are easier to deal with. Ningxi City has already checked Yang Hongmin's social relationships before, and we should be able to find some clues." Cen Lian looked at the physical evidence that had been found, "Now it's time to look under those overly dense vegetation. What is it?"

Wu Qiushan and Lin Xiangqi were actually very curious about what was buried under these plants, but they didn't think it was human bodies.

The reason is also very simple. If the body is dismembered and then buried, this place will not be secretive enough.

People from the Ningxi Municipal Bureau quickly arrived with tools. Cen Lian rolled up his sleeves and started digging with others in these places with very dense vegetation.

Soon, the first animal bones were unearthed.

"This should be a sheep with a relatively small head." Forensic doctor Lin studied the remaining bones for a while. "The head of this sheep was severely damaged, and the skull was probably pried open before it was alive. "

Everyone around them frowned.

Although everyone eats beef and mutton, I still can't help but feel a little numb when I hear this cruel killing method.

"What I have here is a dog." An animal skeleton was also found on the other side of Wuqiu Mountain. "The body shape looks like the most common pastoral dog, and the head was also severely damaged."

He doesn't have as much experience as forensic doctor Lin, and he just makes a simple judgment.

"The skulls were also pried open before death." Forensic doctor Lin went over to take a look and said with certainty: "The techniques for opening the skulls of the two animal corpses are exactly the same. It was probably done by the same person."

"Why do I feel like he's practicing with animals?" Tang Hua had been watching from the side. When he saw the third animal carcass that died in exactly the same way, he finally couldn't help but speak, "There can't really be someone." You like to pry other people’s skulls off.”

This kind of hobby is too niche. Although Cen Lian cannot guarantee that no one in the world has this special hobby, the probability of him encountering such a person is almost as good as the moon suddenly hitting the earth.

"Experiment on the brain..." Even Qi Yan, who had been silent, couldn't help but look at the animal carcasses a few more times after hearing this.

As animal carcasses were unearthed one after another, Yuan Chenxi went over to take photos one by one and confirmed that there were twelve animal carcasses in total.

"Is he going to pry all the twelve zodiac signs off their heads?" Tang Hua couldn't help complaining as he counted.

"It can be seen from the marks left on the skulls of these animals that this person's skills are becoming more and more mature." Forensic doctor Lin seemed not to have heard Tang Hua's complaints at all and continued to examine the corpses one by one. "How long have these animal corpses been buried?" The interval is not very long, and there are even two bodies that have not completely turned into bones.”

"Specially prying off heads?" Qu Han subconsciously glanced at the somewhat damaged animal skull in Forensic Doctor Lin's hand, "They wouldn't pry off people's brains like this, right?"

"There are no similar marks on Yang Hongmin's body," Lin Xiangqi shook her head almost immediately, "I'm not sure if there are other deceased persons in this case, but based on the current situation, he has not used this killing method on anyone."

Cen Lian knew that there were three more deceased people, but apart from their identities, he knew almost nothing about how they died.

He did not even investigate the disappearance records of these three people.

This means that the remaining three deceased persons were either not discovered by their families, or if they were discovered, they would not be reported to the police.

What is the specific situation? Cen Lian is now a little at a loss.

"The Tao family's uncle and nephew's social relations have been investigated," Zhang Quanfeng's voice had already reached Cen Lian's ears before Zhang Quanfeng came to the side, "The bank and other personal accounts have not received any money from unknown sources, but there is no guarantee. They didn't take cash or anything of value."

Cen Lian raised his head and saw Zhang Quanfeng who looked very tired.

This case also gave him some headaches.

"Has the comparison of other physical evidence extracted from the scene ended?" Wu Qiushan asked Zhang Quanfeng, "Can we confirm that there are other deceased persons?"

Zhang Quanfeng sighed and nodded helplessly.

"You also found two strange DNAs among the various traces you extracted from the yard, and they are being compared with missing persons in the city."

This kind of DNA comparison takes a lot of time, and it is impossible to get results in a short while.

Wu Qiushan himself is a technician, so of course he knows the complicated steps involved.

"Our current clues have almost been broken again," Cen Lian stood in front of a pile of animal carcasses, "but I seem to have some idea of ​​the circles in which they are active."

He looked at the pried open skull of the animal carcass, his expression a little indescribable.
