According to Lockard's exchange principle, as long as there is contact, there will inevitably be an exchange of matter. The traces may be extremely subtle, but they must exist. This is a well-known law that Su Lin heard before traveling through time.

Unless the murderer is an invisible ghost, there must be traces on Xiao'e's body. This is the only tangible clue currently available.

Su Lin didn't expect that the clues would be found so easily. He found a few slender hairs in Xiao'e's wound.

It is definitely not human hair, but the hair of some kind of beast, but it is different from the hair of most animals. Its surface is rough, and its structure seems to have barbs that are invisible to the naked eye. There is slight resistance when you stroke it in the opposite direction.

In addition, Xiao'e's ribs were all broken, as if there was a huge hand grabbing her waist with one hand and her legs with the other, twisting her like a twist and tearing the legs apart.

Come down.

"Do we want an autopsy?" Su Lin had a terrible idea.

He had no knowledge of anatomy, but he would get more clues if he did it than if he didn't do it.

Su Lin thought for a moment, then gently picked up Xiao'e's body and walked into the kitchen in the backyard.

Su Lin did not have reliable knowledge of anatomy, but having experienced war, he could roughly judge the shape of the wound. For example, Xiao'e's broken ribs revealed extremely obvious information. The ribs on both sides of her were not

It was broken by being smashed, but broken by holding.

The demon exerted force from both sides at the same time, breaking Xiao'e's ribs, and the broken ribs turned inward and pierced the internal organs. This may be the cause of Xiao'e's death.

In addition, the most significant discovery is that Xiao'e's heart has disappeared.

The heart was intact and missing from Xiao'e's body. It was not there before he performed the dissection, but there were no wounds on Xiao'e's torso.

Su Lin asked Su Lingyu to sit in the corner of the kitchen and practice calligraphy. He held a kitchen knife and tried to deduce more clues from some details.

Time passed by, and Su Lingyu, who was sitting in the corner of the kitchen, had fallen asleep peacefully. Su Lin, who was standing in front of the chopping board, was thinking about every detail with an expressionless face.

He had to isolate himself from his emotions to accomplish this kind of thing. Even if he paid attention for a moment, Su Xiao'e's voice and smile would appear in Su Lin's mind, his body would tremble uncontrollably, and tears would burst out of his eyes uncontrollably.

But he couldn't stop.

Wang Xiaofeng made it very clear in the letter that Xiao'e will never be the last victim, and people will die next, many people will die...

The first ray of sunlight in the morning shines through the crack of the kitchen door and shines on the ground. The gravel on the ground is soaked with blood, showing a strange bright red. The walls and floor are stained with blood. Su Lin stands in front of the chopping board with a numb expression, his eyes numb and dull.

He let out a long breath and slumped to the ground. What Wang Xiaofeng wrote in the letter came to mind again.

After Ah Xue's death, Wang Xiaofeng noticed the strange sight, so he no longer lived at home. He would leave Longyuan County before nightfall and sleep on trees in the woods, in caves on the edge of cliffs, and in dry toilets.

, he kept changing his resting place with an almost pathological caution, sometimes changing two places in one night.

Facts have also proved that his caution was not repeated. He once set up several simple and hidden small mechanisms in his home, such as inserting a thin wood branch that was baked into charcoal by fire in the crack of the door. This kind of branch only has iron.

The thickness of the needle is extremely hard and brittle. It will break when touched. When it breaks, it will leave charcoal marks on the surface. As long as someone opens the door, he will be able to detect it.

He would also collect a few dog hairs on the street and place them in a fixed location at home.

At first, there was no change in this mechanism.

But one day, when he came home during the day, although there was no change in the decoration, the wooden branches in the crack of the door were broken, and a few hairs on the ground also moved.

Wang Xiaofeng deliberately closed the doors and windows before leaving home, and even sealed the gaps in the windows with clay to ensure that there would be no airflow in the room. A hair changed its position, which may be caused by cockroaches, rats, and insects, but so many hairs moved their positions, and

The directions are still the same, which can only prove that there is airflow blowing across the ground.

The only explanation is that someone opened the door to look for him while he was away.

However, the door lock of Wang Xiaofeng's home was not damaged. The demon did not even need to break the door lock to get in.

In addition, the most concerning thing is that except for A Xue's body which was discovered by Wang Xiaofeng, the bodies of all the people who disappeared after that were not found.

Judging from the habits of demons, they cannot make people ignore their actions in reality, otherwise the demons would not have to look forward and backward and could kill Wang Xiaofeng in full view of everyone.

Secondly, people like Su Lin and Wang Xiaofeng who can detect the traces of demons should be extremely rare. It is very likely that demons have never been seen before, so their usual hunting habit is not to dispose of the corpses, and even randomly discard the corpses at the killing scene.

But after Wang Xiaofeng discovered the first corpse, the demons hid all the subsequent corpses. This just proves that they have human-like intelligence and know that continuing to discard corpses is an extremely dangerous behavior.

"It seems that not only are their IQs close to humans, they can completely understand the concept of human society." Su Lin murmured to himself.

Hide the body.

This behavior is very common for humans, but it actually has a special meaning.

Animals hide their corpses to store food, while humans hide their corpses to avoid being discovered by their own kind.

The demon is very aware of the operating rules of human society. Even when it discovered that Wang Xiaofeng could see the dead body, it immediately thought that Wang Xiaofeng might not be the only one who could see the dead body. Therefore, it decisively chose to hide all subsequent corpses.

If someone told Su Lin now that demons are humans, Su Lin would completely believe it.

But what puzzled Su Lin the most was why the hunting of demons suddenly accelerated after this?

Especially after Butcher Zheng's death, within a few days, Butcher Zheng's son and wife were killed one after another, but this phenomenon did not occur in the family of Yuan Li's wife and Wang Xiaofeng's teacher's family.

"Bah, bah, bah!"

There was a loud sound of firecrackers outside. This is a process of the marriage of a man in Daxia. Firecrackers will be set off that morning.

Only then did Su Lin remember that he was going to Zhang Yuanwai's house to work as a cook today.
