The Death Knell

Emerging from under the warm palm, Damian suddenly felt the dampness and coolness in the night, but he raised his head and looked at Deathstroke, his eyes full of longing.

He likes to learn, and learn techniques that can make him stronger.

Martial arts is naturally one aspect, but the way of thinking is equally important. Even if Deathstroke becomes an ordinary person, he will still be the most terrifying mercenary on the earth, because the opponent's thinking and tactical level are far superior to others.

"So what about the current case specifically?"

Su Ming squatted down again, keeping eye level with Damian: "Now let's sort out the information you have. First of all, you discovered two scenes, one for dismemberment and one for dismemberment and smashing."

"Um."

"So the vastly different methods of committing crimes often mean that the perpetrators are not the same person. Is there no doubt about it?" Su Ming asked in a leading way.

"Yes." Damian and everyone else nodded.

"But the difference in the bodies is not everything, and that was found at both scenes."

Su Ming pointed to a wall in the room. There were huge scratch marks on it, three diagonal parallel lines, and there was blood flowing out between the lines, as if the wall was injured.

"They all found the same traces." Damian focused his gaze on the mark and answered affirmatively.

"Very well, don't you think it's strange that the walls are bleeding?"

Su Ming stood up, and a black tentacle stretched out from behind him, went to the mark and wiped it, then retracted it and spread it out in front of several people.

The black soft monster can not only turn into a mouth ball, but now it can also turn into a small bowl filled with dark red liquid.

Wally first took a closer look, then raised his head: "But shouldn't that be some kind of mark? It's like the clown's smiling face or the Riddler's question mark. They will paint their own symbols everywhere with paint on the scene. All.”

"Very good, your brain is still there..." Su Ming nodded to him happily: "But your attention was attracted by two corpses of different shapes, but you didn't notice the two corpses. The details in the marks appear all at the same time in the scene.”

At this point, Damian already understood. He reached out and dipped some blood from the small black bowl in front of him, put it under his nose and smelled it.

"This is the blood of birds, and it smells like feathers."

Su Ming nodded, controlled the strangulation and put the blood in front of everyone for them to smell, but most people refused. Except for Emiko who took a deep breath, everyone else believed in Damian's judgment.

"To be precise, this is chicken blood, not duck, pigeon, or owl." Strangler removed the small bowl, and the black and red blood scattered on the ground.

The moonlight shines in from outside the door, and the red color is particularly charming.

Damian frowned. He didn't believe that anyone could tell what animal's blood it was just by smell: "How do you know?"

"My little pet, it can distinguish the blood it has tasted. There is no doubt about this. In fact, you can also find an instrument to test it, but it is more convenient."

"So what you're saying is that the huge paw prints on the wall are the magic circle used to summon monsters, and the piano that was originally thought to be an altar is actually just a simple dining table?"

Damian looked at the wall and then at the piano. Each of the three slashes on the wall was more than two meters long, and they were half a meter apart from each other. If this was left by one of the monster's claws, then this The size of the monster is obviously too large, and this house cannot even accommodate it.

And if the three seemingly scratches were made by humans with chisels or other tools and then sprinkled with chicken blood, that would explain why the house was intact.

"It can be understood that we can assume what these guys did and just guess in the darkest way."

Under Su Ming's guidance, Damian quickly made assumptions about others from a dark perspective.

"First of all, the crime occurred after the flood receded and people returned to the city. Then the cultists immediately gathered together, went to the first scene, and summoned the monster. The hungry monster tore the first victim into pieces. Then the cultists They came here and summoned the monster again, but the monster was already full and had no interest in eating anymore, so the cultists ate the internal organs of the corpse and arranged the scene."

Damian quickly came up with a list of hypotheses that sounded reasonable.

"No, you are wrong about something." Emiko spoke unexpectedly. Her eyesight returned to clarity and she was very focused: "Both corpses were actually destroyed."

"Bah bang bang..." Su Ming clapped like Xin Pangpang: "That's right, you should also applaud to give some encouragement to your teammates."

The others sighed, this was not a kindergarten game, and they were applauding the children... But due to the power of the death knell, sparse applause still rang out.

Damian raised his head and looked at Su Ming doubtfully: "Why do you say that?"

Su Ming pointed at Emiko and turned Damian's head towards her with the other hand: "Ask your teammates, don't ask me, do I still have to accompany you every time you do a mission in the future? Why did you form a team? ?Believe in your teammates!”

Damian was silent for a moment, looked at Emiko, and asked the same question again.

After all, Emiko was older, and she didn't care about Dami's previous rudeness, so she immediately answered the question in a nice voice.

"Because the first body was all minced meat, and the second body had too little blood."

Hearing this explanation, Damian understood. He looked back at the floor under the piano and nodded.

The mutilated corpses seen at the first scene could basically be said to be scattered pieces of flesh and blood, scattered everywhere, with obvious signs of being bitten by something. Damian originally thought they were made by monsters.

If the monster is carnivorous, then it will eat all the minced meat when hungry, just like a dog or cat licking a basin. This is the instinct of a hungry beast.

But if he was really that hungry, the first corpse wasn't eaten completely, but the second one didn't move at all?

You must know that the internal organs of the second corpse were cut out by special teeth-like knives, which were just disguised as bite marks. The hungry monster could not wait quietly for others to cut meat and feed it.

Even tigers and lions in the zoo cannot cut meat in front of them, as their wild animal instinct will cause them to attack people. Even if the cutting is completed and the summoning ceremony is performed, it is absolutely inappropriate to have a fresh corpse next to it.

And just like Emiko said, the second corpse bled too little.

The blood of the corpse only flowed through the piano lid, and there was a small pool of blood on the ground. This was completely incomparable to the amount of blood in an adult's body.

Su Ming took the opportunity to give a thumbs up: "Now do you know why Batman judged the opponent to be a vampire creature?"

Damian sighed deeply: "The information he knows will never be shared with me, and the current progress only confirms the known information."

"It's okay. If he doesn't teach you, am I not teaching you?" Su Ming touched his head, and this movement became more and more smooth: "The next step is to witness the miracle."
