I, the outlaw, was caught again

Chapter 298 Hunting Police! ? [Three chapters in one, please give me a monthly ticket! ]

Thirteen people from the crew disappeared, along with five roommates, a total of 18.

These people disappeared without a trace, without any screams, wails, or even a single clue.

The other party's behavior is too professional
Can a professional killer do it?
It depends on the situation.

If it were Xu Sheng, it would be easy to kill a person silently in an urban environment, but it would be difficult to do so without leaving any clues and also dispose of the body.

It's not easy on the mountain side.

There are police dogs and hunting dogs here. These dogs are almost spirits. They can smell the scent of some people based on their breath and then lead people to find them!

"Any news on the dogs and hounds?"

Xu Sheng's eyes narrowed, and he suddenly turned around to look at the few people.

He feels.
There was a very strange smell of blood in the air.

"Nanyue City doesn't have police dogs, only hunting dogs, and hunting dogs don't have any behavioral traces."

Liu Peng stopped, looked at the lush green surroundings with the ground covered with leaves and shadows, and shook his head.

Police dogs are expensive.

Considering the treatment these days, the food expenses of a police dog alone are equivalent to those of three auxiliary police officers.

The food expenses for three auxiliary police officers doesn't sound expensive.

However, there must also be training grounds, dog trainers, a special police dog squadron, and a series of other things.

Even if there is, it will be a losing business.

Ordinary urban murder police dogs are not able to perform, and in open areas the scent travels too far and becomes too thin to be used, so most of the time they just waste time in the police dog base and are not used.

Police dogs do not last long and retire after an average of eight years, which includes their training and the time it takes to grow from a puppy to an adult.

Even Jiangsan City only has one police dog to prevent any unexpected events.

Nanyue City really doesn’t have the money to support it, and doesn’t really need it.

"Hound?"

Xu Sheng thought for a moment, then followed the smell to a place. He turned on the [Eye of the Falcon] and observed the traces around him as he walked, trying to see if he stopped at the place where some leaves were broken and caused brown marks.

Hounds and police dogs are both very special breeds of dog.

However, the former is not as professional as the latter, just like the difference between a bodyguard or security guard and a soldier.

In terms of sense of smell, it can barely cope with the lack of police dogs. This is also the secondary reason why Nanyue City does not raise police dogs. The main reason is that it is too poor.

"Which way is Brother Xu going? Isn't the crime scene with three bodies on the left?"

Looking at his figure, Li Hao scratched his head and spoke in confusion.

"There is a situation."

Liu Peng stood where Xu Sheng had stopped, and his eyes lit up when he looked at the leaves.

"What's going on?" Wang Chao asked puzzledly.

"Fingernail marks."

Liu Peng said this casually, then stepped back and took a picture of the clue with the camera he carried with him.

The brown mark on the leaf is crescent-shaped, thick in the middle and thin at both ends. A slight comparison shows that it is the mark caused by someone pulling the trigger.

Judging from the time, it was probably three or four days ago.

"Follow!"

After finding a few people to stay behind, Liu Peng hurriedly followed.

When everyone caught up, they saw a hole?
"Bear Cave!?"

Liu Peng's pupils shrank. He had lived in Nanyue City for a long time and had dealt with hunters many times. He recognized him at a glance.

Bears don't just live in tree holes.

In winter, they may live in tree holes and underground holes. In hot summer, they may find a cave to live in. If they can't find one, they will probably sleep directly on the ground.

“There’s no bear in there.”

Xu Sheng said something soothing, then sniffed lightly and went into the cave.

After a while.
A skeleton was dragged out.

这 是
Human corpse!

"Corpse!?"

Liu Peng was stunned. He looked at the worn-out corpse in front of him with surprise written all over his face.

why?
because
The body has been dead for too long!

The corpse had stopped rotting, or rather, the flesh of the human body had been eaten by the bear, and the remaining flesh was rotting very quickly. Soon, only the current scene was left. It was different from the swollen and smelly corpse, but it was more horrifying.

"Judging from his appearance, he died about half a year ago. The clothes he was wearing indicate that he was probably a minor actor."

Xu Sheng looked at the place that was gnawed by the bear and spoke.

He squatted down and touched it with his hand.

"The person who disappeared half a year ago?"

Liu Peng paused, then said, "I'll go find someone to investigate!"

Xu Sheng nodded and said, "There should be something ahead. This is just a pleasant surprise."

"The marks on the leaves are brand new, left three days ago. There's a chance they were left by the crew or the murderer. Find someone to search this area carefully!"

The smell here is very mixed. If you take a sniff, you can smell the smell of bears and even the smell of tiger's bird urine. You can't smell it at all if it relates to humans.

After thinking for a moment, Xu Sheng took a step forward and headed towards the first crime scene.

The body had been hidden in the mountains for at least half a year.

But it has never been discovered.
Can't the hound smell it?
Can smell it.

I can smell the corpse, and I can also smell the bear!

If it is an experienced hunter's hound, it will most likely notify and then take people hunting.

If it is a hunting dog of poor quality, it would be considered good if it can still move after smelling the scent of bears and tigers.

This might have been possible a few decades ago, but not in 04 because the hunting ban issued in 96 has caused most of the useful hunting dogs to die of old age, and the remaining ones are just those that look fierce on the surface but have not actually been used for any formal hunting.

Of course, there are also those who hunt in secret, but these people will not show their heads when facing the police, let alone expose the abilities of their hunting dogs.

What traces were there on the body?
No clue.

Xu Sheng took a quick look and found no clues left by humans on the body!

"Brother Xu, was that man also killed by the murderer?"

Wang Chao thought for a long time, traces of the corpse kept appearing in his mind, but he had no idea. He didn't even know whether the corpse was related to this case.

There are no human traces on the surface of the body. How can we judge this?

"You think so?"

Xu Sheng took a glance and spoke as he walked, passing by an ancient tree.

"I don't know." Wang Chao answered honestly.

"trace."

Xu Sheng opened his mouth and uttered two words.

"Traces? But there are no traces on the body or at the scene."

Wang Chao frowned. He had a good memory and knew the scene of the crime scene. He was sure that there were no clues.

The people around also pricked up their ears and listened.

"It's because there are no traces that it's a trace!"

“No trace is itself a kind of ‘trace’!”

Xu Sheng paused and said something that was a bit confusing.

Then he said:

"Haozi, kick Chaozi."

Li Hao was overjoyed and he kicked Wang Chao on the butt.

"Look at the ground." Xu Sheng said.

Everyone lowered their heads subconsciously.

As soon as Li Hao moved away, his left foot stopped with the sole of his foot supporting the ground and rubbing the rotating footprint.

Wang Chao was kicked and left, staggering where he stood.

"You kicked him, so these marks were left at the scene."

"What about the crime scene?"

"Will bears leave traces when they eat people?"

Xu Sheng said, he pointed at the picture on the ground and then pointed at the footprints of the people around him.

"Yes, not only that, there will be many traces."

"There must be blood splatter and signs of the deceased's struggle."

"If the body was dragged here, and the death scene was not a bear cave, there would definitely be bloodstains on the ground, as well as signs of dragging and wear and tear on the clothes."

“None of these normal phenomena occurred.”

"It's called 'Locard's Law of Material Exchange!'"

What is Local Material Exchange Principle?
Just like what I said just now, the summary is eight words, [Every contact will leave traces! ]

No matter what you do, there will be corresponding traces, such as footprints from walking, blood stains from fighting, and folded pages from reading a book. These are all traces.

It's hard to find traces where there are no traces.

But it is very easy to work backwards from the results of what has already happened and find traces of this existence!
"The body just now was eaten by a bear, so let's not talk about how the victim appeared here."

"Just looking at the manner of death, did you see any obvious signs of being attacked by a bear?"

Mr. Xu raised another question.

There is a difference between attack marks and gnawing marks.

Of course, bears will also eat people directly while they are still alive. If this happens, the scene will definitely be more bloody. After all, when a person is eaten alive, blood will splatter!

There was no splashing or dragging at the scene, and the body showed no signs of attack, only signs of gnawing, so the probability of cannibalism was very high.

"Of course, it is also possible that he was knocked unconscious like you and then thrown into the bear cave."

"But no matter what, it can be confirmed that a third party was involved in the death."

Having said that, Xu Sheng did not stop and went straight to the crime scene that appeared in his eyes.

Local material exchange law?
Who is Lokal?
The people behind him were puzzled, but they didn't care, just like you can even write [Wo Bian De] as the name of a famous person at the beginning of your composition.

This does not prevent them from understanding the meaning.

Wherever there is contact, there will be traces left!
Reverse the process through the existing results. If the traces that should have occurred during the process did not appear, and there were no natural factors that made the traces disappear, then
There must be a third party who erased all traces!

And the traces are erased.
Everyone subconsciously thought of the house that was left without any trace when the other people disappeared.

"Tsk, this is the criminal police sent by the imperial capital."

Liu Peng smacked his lips, astonished that the other party could close the case with just one law.

Normal criminal police who want to close a case have to compare various information, especially the time. If they don't match, they have to think carefully. It is normal to hold three or four meetings during this period.

At this time, Xu Sheng had already arrived at the first crime scene.

Even from a long distance away, you can see the tightly packed cordon.

He walked around the cordon, sniffed a little, and then walked under a tree.

This is where Wang Chao encountered the corpse.

When Xu Sheng looked up, he saw that the body was no longer there. The body had been taken to a nearby funeral home for preservation.

If the funeral home goes out of business, the refrigerators that store corpses may be purchased by restaurants, which will put chicken, pork and other things in the morgues and refrigerate them, and then take out the ingredients to cook when an order comes in.

He squatted down again.

There were traces of brown blood dripping on the ground. They were not obvious, but very regular. They were very obvious when gathered together in a large area.

"Do you have a photo?"

Xu Sheng thought for a moment and looked up at the person in charge of the crime scene.

The other party didn't know Xu Sheng, but seeing his professionalism, he knew that he was most likely responsible for investigation, so he handed the photo to him. Xu Sheng took the photo and looked down.

There are many photos, and the photos were taken at three locations where bodies were dumped. The distance between the three photos is not far, and the backgrounds include both day and night.

The three men died in very similar ways.

His trachea was cut with a knife and the tip of the knife was inserted into his neck, causing his death.

Some were placed on trees, some on the ground, and some were thrown into the bushes, but without exception,
"The action is very neat and clear!"

Mr. Xu spoke seriously.

Judging from the freshness of the wound, it is highly likely that the person who escaped that night realized that he was exposed, and then killed the person and fled himself.

Even if he ran away, he did not forget to deal with the traces on the ground.

There was only blood from the murder, no footprints or creases in the bushes.

If there weren't the bloodstains on the ground, strangers would never have guessed that three people died here!

"Is this a professional killer?"

Wang Chao was stunned when he recalled that night.

He climbed up to the third floor with bare hands, knew how to cover up his traces, killed people quickly and efficiently, and did not forget to clean up the traces when escaping. Who could do this?

Ordinary soldiers in the army don’t have this awareness, right?
A professional killer?

But why would a professional killer kill the extras in the crew? And why would he kill Wang Chao?
Wang Chao firmly believed that he had never had a mortal feud with any living person, not to mention that he had just arrived in Nanyue City and had only met these dead people once.

Furthermore
There is no professional killer who charges less.

Even in 00, the price of killing a person on the dark web was hundreds of thousands!
Hundreds of thousands just to kill a minor actor?
This is not worth it!

The hundreds of thousands in 00, even if we calculate it as , would be equivalent to between million and million in later generations.

If you only take out one tenth of it and throw it in front of the opponent, he will still sell the hook obediently.
It's a bit immoral, but it's true.

Few people can refuse the offer of 150,000 yuan for just sleeping with someone. Even people of the same sex have to hesitate before making a choice.

but
"If he's not a professional killer, then he's killing people because of some conflicts."

"It involves you"

Xu Sheng noticed something, looked up at Wang Chao, and said:

"How many times have you met the deceased?"

"One side, no more than three minutes." Wang Chao said.

"The other party knows your room address, so they must have observed you. And to move the target to you, they also need to observe you."

"You only met the deceased once. At that time, the murderer was hiding in the corner and watching!"

Wang Chao was targeted after only having contact with the deceased for less than three minutes. On the other hand, the murderer must have been nearby within those three minutes!

The other party had observed Wang Chao, so he was able to sneak in and kill people without anyone noticing.

What about the rest?
Were the other missing persons also observed by the other party?

Maybe, after all, if any criminal wants to commit a perfect crime without being caught, "scouting" is essential.

But there is not enough time.
21 people.

It took only three days from the disappearance of the first group of directors to the attack on Wang Chao that night, with a blank period of two days and one night in between.

In other words, the other party took away so many people in just one day and two nights?
The city is not far from the mountain, but no matter how close it is, it is still measured in kilometers.

A person was wearing clothes and sleeping soundly, with a person weighing 150 kilograms pressing on him twenty-one times.
Not to mention humans, even cows and horses can’t bear it!

Being physically strong, as strong as Superman would be fine, Xu Sheng accepted it and just assumed that the other person's physical fitness was far beyond that of ordinary people.

But according to what Wang Chao saw, the other person was only about 1.2 meters tall when he stood up.
If he wasn't hunched over, he would be only about 1.3 to 1.4 meters tall, and so skinny. How could he possibly withstand this amount of exercise?

Since they can't resist it and the reality is in front of them, there must be a reason that allows the other party to withstand it.

Thinking of this, Xu Sheng turned his head and looked at the three bodies in the photo.

These three bodies.
It was multiple people who killed him!

"There is more than one murderer!"

Mr. Xu suddenly spoke.

"Is this a gang crime!?"

If one murderer can't complete the workload, then use two, or three!
What if there were forty-two people? Forty-two murderers carrying twenty-one people, that would be a lot of work, right?

If you think in this way, the murderer's gang only needs five people, which is more than enough time to commit the crime.

Can.
"Five people with excellent action skills, who know how to hide, are good at bare-handed climbing, scouting, killing with precision, and have good physical strength!?"

"What the hell is this!?"

Mr. Xu couldn't help but swear.

"Have we found the professional killer training base?"

Five people
What on earth are these five people! ?

With these skills, they are good enough to be an instructor in any training base, but why do they gather here to kill people?
How could a bunch of crews shooting movies and TV series make any deadly feud with them?
What footage was captured?
It is possible, but the problem is that the police have not found any bodies of the crew members, so they are unable to determine what was filmed.

If not because of this, then why?
And if there are not five people, how many people will there be on the other side?
Three? Two? More?

At this moment, countless questions were running through Xu Sheng's mind, as if there were flies buzzing in his ears, making it impossible for him to calm down.

"How to check?"

Li Yang took a look at the scene and also felt a little headache.

"Check the nearby surveillance."

Xu Sheng also had a headache. After thinking for a while, he barely found a breakthrough.

"From Chaozi's description of their appearance, these people have been in the mountains for a long time."

"These people are most likely out of touch with society and don't even know the effects of some things. There aren't many surveillance cameras in Nanyue City, so ordinary people can hardly see them, let alone those hiding in the mountains."

“Even if they find out, they may not know the purpose of surveillance.”

"Maybe a surveillance camera somewhere has recorded them."

Li Yang nodded.

Surveillance devices are very rare. There are not many in the capital these days, and even less than ten years ago, people in the countryside had never heard of them. If you are out of touch with society, it is very likely that you will not know the function of this thing.

Ignorance is bliss, and the probability of being exposed to surveillance is much greater!

"Find someone else to go to the back door of the hotel and check the place where Wang Chao had contact with the deceased."

"It's possible that the place has been visited before, and there might be some information left by the murderer. But the probability is very small."

Complete the arrangements for the immediate action objectives.

Xu Sheng waved his hand, walked aside and thought about the case at hand.

There are very few clues at the moment, and no matter from which angle you look at it, the murderer is a gang with extremely high operational proficiency.

When it comes to gangs, cases are often easy to handle, because when there are many people, the probability of stupid people being present is high, and once they do something stupid, they will find opportunities to take advantage of it and bring out the trouble!
But the problem is that right now this is a bunch of elite gangs!
That's trouble.

After thinking for a moment, there was no signal in his mind, so Xu Sheng could only look up at the sky.

What's in the sky?
There are blue sky and white clouds, and lush leaves.

A gust of wind blows by, making people feel a little comfortable. Standing under the shade of trees, you will feel cool even in summer.

"eclipse."

Xu Sheng murmured the name that the system gave to the case.

What is a Solar Eclipse?

A solar eclipse is when the moon blocks the sun during the day.

On the day of the solar eclipse, the sky in the country that can be seen looks like the end of the world.

In ancient times, it was considered an ominous sign. If it occurred during the reign of a ruler, it would be considered a sign of the ruler’s incompetence and a warning from God.

But, in modern times, a solar eclipse is just a solar eclipse.

What else could it be?
Or does it have a mythological quality to it?
There aren't many myths about solar eclipses, and even fewer about hell.

Whether it is hell, the underworld, or the underworld, everything believes that this thing is hidden underground.

They are all afraid of sunlight and appear when the moon rises.

Eastern zombies and Western vampires have many things in common, one of which is that they will be burned to death in the sun.

If we apply mythological colors
"When a solar eclipse occurs, will the world become hell?"

Xu Sheng was thinking in his heart.

"Around 04, there was a solar eclipse in the East?"

He knew very well that there was no solar eclipse in the year 04 in his previous life.

Is it because of time travel that the world is different?
Mr. Xu took out his phone and asked the office staff to check. After confirming that the time of the solar eclipse was no different from his previous life, his brows furrowed even deeper.

Just as he was thinking and trying to follow this divergent thinking.
"what!!!!"

Suddenly, a screaming howl was heard.

Everyone subconsciously looked up towards the area where the sound came from.

Xu Sheng's eyes flashed, this direction is the direction he came from
This was the direction where he found a corpse from half a year ago!
Without any hesitation, he immediately ran over there, and nearly one-third of the people at the scene rushed over.

A moment later, two people lying on stretchers appeared in front of everyone.

There was a clamp on a man's right leg, and the clamp directly broke his leg!

The other had his thigh pierced by a sharpened piece of wood, his expression twisted in extreme pain.

Both of them are police officers.

"What's going on!?" Xu Sheng frowned.

"It was the police officer I sent out to search the area around the crime scene where the body was found six months ago. He fell into a trap."

Liu Peng spoke with a gloomy expression.

"At this time, there are still hunters!?" Wang Chao was shocked.

Which trap is specially used for hunting wild boars? If a person is caught in the trap and his waist is clamped, he may die instantly.

The other one fell into a pit with a sharpened wooden stick in it. He was lucky, otherwise his lungs or other parts of his body would have been pierced and he would have died on the spot!
This kind of trap was set around the crime scene! ?

"The probability is very small. We have closed the mountain for the past few days. No hunters will come up to set traps, I guess."

"Some hunters set a lot of traps, and quite a few of them will be forgotten, and even hunters may fall into the trap."

Li Yang thought for a moment and gave a slightly reasonable explanation.

Mr. Xu looked at the policeman with a wooden stick stuck in his thigh being carried away, and looked away after a few seconds.

"It's not an old trap, it's a new one."

"The stick must have been sharpened within two days at least!"

Within two days?

Everyone was stunned.

This period of time was when the case began and the mountain was closed.

There really is a hunter who is so ignorant as to set a trap right under the noses of the police investigating a case! ?

"I mean"

Xu Sheng suddenly spoke again, looking at everyone, his voice gradually becoming heavier.

"What if this trap wasn't set by the hunter?"

There are only three types of people here: police, hunters, and murderers.

Not a policeman, not a hunter, that is
murderer!

A trap set by the murderer!?

Everyone was stunned, their faces filled with shock. Even Sha Yuan, who had been thinking, was so shocked that he was speechless.

The hunter sets a trap to catch wild animals.

If this trap was set by the murderer, then the purpose of this trap is.
"Hunting the police!"

"Who the hell is this person!?"
