Song Xinxin's eyes were projected on Professor Gu's book. It was a very ordinary paper book. Logically speaking, the book that recorded such evil rituals should not be a medieval gold-edged sheepskin classic. She proposed to read this book, and Professor Gu handed it over generously.

This is a foreign document. Song Xinxin can't understand the specific text of which country it is. It is not in English or a formal publication. There is a dim signature on the title page. The characters in the floral style are very beautiful, and there is a handwritten date below, July 14, 1896.

"Professor Gu, how did you get this book?" Song Xinxin carefully turned a few pages. There were many illustrations in the book, and various religious symbols and ritual scenes, which made it creepy.

"When it comes to the origin of this book, it is quite legendary." Professor Gu lit a cigarette, threw one for Zhang Xiangyu and Liu Kunlun, and started telling stories.

"I read this book when I was a child. Later, my father said that it was bought from a Jew in the public concession in Shanghai in the late 1930s. We all know that during that time, the Nazis persecuted Jews. A large number of Jewish refugees came from Europe to Shanghai where they did not need a visa. In order to make a living, my father was a bookworm. He said that books that could be brought to Shanghai from thousands of miles away must be very valuable, so he bought them, but he didn't read them much, just as a curious miscellaneous book, so he put them on the bookshelf for decades. Later, the four olds were destroyed and they were all destroyed..."

Song Xinxin imagined the study of Omi and Gu family Western-style oceanic buildings in the 1940s. The bookshelf was topped with the ceiling and needed an escalator to get the books. Countless classic ancient books were as vast as a sea of ​​smoke. No, this is not a study, which can be described as hidden. However, in an unprecedented era, everything that was feudal and financially cultivated would be knocked down and destroyed. Old books belong to the typical four olds, representatives of old ideas and old culture. In a fire, precious wealth turned into ashes. Countless young men and women in green military uniforms applauded hysterically, and a blood-red flag danced with a tiger-like wind.

"This book was confiscated by the rebels along with many other books. I thought it was burned. Unexpectedly, a few years later, in the mid-1990s, I saw this book again at the old book stall in the flower and bird market, and put it together with a bunch of pirated novels. I spent a dollar to buy the book, and this magical book returned to the Gu family."

The loss and regaining of this strange book alone is enough to make people feel magical. When it comes to the content of the book, it makes people feel a sense of terror.

Song Xinxin said: "So this book has been wandering outside for about thirty years, and perhaps it has been spread to a certain extent during this period."

Professor Gu said: "What you said makes sense, but this book is in Latin, and the time it has been in the midst of the people is very sensitive. It has been in frequent political movements. These evil things have no soil to take root and sprout, and there is no such environment in China."

Zhang Xiangyu couldn't help but say, "That's what kind of achievements..."

Professor Gu smiled contemptuously: "That is a low-level cult that is produced and sold locally. It is not on the same level as this blood mass, but it is the same as what you pursue."

"What is it?" Zhang Xiangyu and Song Xinxin asked in unison.

"Eternal life." Professor Gu said lightly.

"Eternal life is something that monsters want in Journey to the West." Liu Kunlun, who had not spoken, finally spoke, "That's a myth, I didn't expect that someone would believe it in reality."

Professor Gu held his glasses and said, "From a scientific perspective, immortality can be explained. It is just that our current biotechnology level is not enough. But I don't think that the barbaric and evil religious rituals in the Middle Ages can achieve a complex process of modifying and recombining genes. This is a pure crime, murder."

The background of the case is roughly like this. The following is the identity of the murderer. Zhang Xiangyu told Professor Gu about the situation he had learned, and Liu Kunlun silently remembered the name Lin Xiaoxiao.

"It doesn't matter if you can't find someone. Start from the surrounding area and grasp the evidence chain. Li Changjue said that without evidence, the case cannot be solved, and the evidence is as strong as a mountain. No matter how big the background is, it is not as big as the law."

Professor Gu's words were very clear, but the reality was not that beautiful. After the visitor left Gu's house, Zhang Xiangyu asked his superiors for an arrest warrant to formally arrest Lin Xiaoxiao. However, a higher-level authority ordered Zhang Xiangyu to be transferred to take charge of other cases. As for how to deal with this case, there was no explanation above.

...

Luo Xiaoqiao's death became a unsolved case, adding a new chapter to the horror legend of Jiang Normal University. A student died on the university campus. Soon everyone forgot about Luo Xiaoqiao. Only a few roommates in the dormitory would think of her when they saw the empty bed.

Liu Kunlun couldn't forget Luo Xiaoqiao. The song was crazy about love often sounded in his mind. He hated that he was not able to avenge his revenge and hated Zhao Hongbo's behind his back. He once wanted to kill Zhao Hongbo, but after careful consideration, he decided to kill the real murderer first and then Zhao Hongbo.

At noon that day, a man wearing a photography vest and a fisherman's hat came to the East Gate guardhouse, found Liu Kunlun who was resting, handed over a business card, saying that he was a reporter and named Zhang Hongxiang.

"It was Team Zhang who introduced me. I am a newspaper reporter and I am very interested in the mystery..." Before reporter Zhang finished speaking, Liu Kunlun threw the business card back and replied with a word: "Get out."

"I think you misunderstood. I am not the kind of reporter who writes gossip news. I am an investigative reporter. I exist only for one thing, which is the truth." Zhang Hongxiang was not angry and took out a newspaper and handed it over. It was an investigation report about the beggar group.

Liu Kunlun remembered this name. When he chopped people, he took a newspaper and wrapped it with a machete. It seemed to be Zhang Hongxiang's article. This reporter was very sharp and dared to write. He was a man.

"Do you want to help me?" Liu Kunlun changed his attitude and handed over a cigarette.

"I'm upholding justice." Zhang Hongxiang sat down, lit a cigarette, and told Liu Kunlun that we are not moving forward alone. There are many people around us who are willing to lend a helping hand for justice.

"Forensic Doctor Song is willing to help, and Professor Gu is willing to do it. Now there is only a young man who can fight and dares to fight." Zhang Hongxiang looked at Liu Kunlun with a smile.

"It's done." Liu Kunlun was determined.

As the saying goes, three cobblers are better than Zhuge Liang. After Liu Kunlun joined the investigation team, he pulled Chu Tong and Wang Yuexia in and officially launched an investigation based on the information given by Zhang Xiangyu.

Luo Xiaoqiao's body was discovered by several climbers at the foot of Cuiwei Mountain, forty kilometers south of the Ori River. The place belongs to a nature reserve and is rarely visited. It is said that wild animals are present. Liu Kunlun and others surveyed the scene. The mountain road is rugged and extremely difficult to walk. It takes a strong physical strength to carry the body so far.

The scene of the corpse throwing must be the second scene. Luo Xiaoqiao was killed on the altar. So what place is suitable for Anee? According to Professor Gu's book, the altar requires a large space, and hotel rooms, houses and public spaces are impossible. Only in secluded countryside can there be a suitable place.

When he went to investigate the order acceptance situation of the victim's deceased decoration worker, he seemed to have a glimpse. Zhang Hongxiang found the deceased's fellow villager and asked, the fellow villager said that the worker had taken over a project. The project was not big but the reward was generous. However, it was unclear where the specific project was. He only knew that he purchased a batch of marble, which was a necessary material for building the altar.

Zhang Hongxiang checked the deceased's mobile three-wheeled wheel and found a kind of red clay between the gaps in the tires. He consulted friends who were studying geology and learned that this clay was only available in Cuiweishan.

At the same time, Chu Tong and Wang Yuexia used Google Earth to survey the terrain of Cuiwei Mountain and found that there was a suspicious flat land away from the location where the body was thrown. There was only one possibility of such a flat land in the mountains, which was artificially caused. Google Earth's satellite photos were from three years ago, so this flat land must be different now.

Zhang Hongxiang found a Changhe van and pulled the voluntary investigators to Cuiwei Mountain. According to the guidance of the satellite map, he found a cement road that was not on the map. The high-ranking cement-filled road was white and had a high quality level. Walking along the road and entering the depths of the mountains, there were green hillsides on both sides, and a stream flowed gurglingly. The scenery was pleasant, but continuing to move forward would be a big despair.

At the end of the cement road is a pile of rubble, with piles of cement blocks, bricks, ceramic tiles, metal and wood decoration materials, and even carpets and oil paintings, but they are all very defiled.

"It just rained." Zhang Hongxiang said, "Following this situation, at least ten villas should be illegal buildings and were demolished."

The soil on the roadside is exactly the red clay.

The group got out of the car and stepped on the mud and turned up the rubble. Zhang Hongxiang said, "Don't be busy, it's not too late for me to make a few phone calls before starting."

After all, it was an investigative reporter. He was very resolute in the investigation of the uprising. Sure enough, this was a scenic villa built by a developer who was not sold to the outside world. They were all highly powerful figures in the province. There were ten buildings in total. It has been built for a year, but many of them have not been renovated. The construction of villas in nature reserves was stabbed. The leaders of the provincial party committee issued a strict order, and all of them were demolished without leaving a single building.

So, not long ago, the excavator entered the site and demolished the villa group that was built with huge sums of money into ruins. Zhang Hongxiang didn't care about this. He just wanted to figure out who the owners of these villas were.

But this is highly confidential. He called but couldn't figure it out. Liu Kunlun had already discovered the clues there. There were only three villas renovated on the spot. One of them, there were marble pieces with the symbol of Blood Mass in the rubble pile of villa No. 7.

A puzzle game began. Zhang Hongxiang took a crowbar and a shovel from the car. Song Xinxin was responsible for searching, Liu Kunlun was responsible for digging pieces. Two girls and Zhang Hongxiang pieced together. The four of them were busy in the rain for most of the day and finally pieced together half of the altar.

This is a ground made of marble of different colors. There is a hexagram in the middle, surrounded by various symbols. The symbols are concave and form a connected groove. The workmanship is very delicate and each corner is polished and round.
