Gu Yuan had used Bai Yu's camera many times before when he was still here, so he was very familiar with it.
Usually when you go to a crime scene, you have to take photos. Although the yamen will send them a copy of the photos afterwards, the people from the Demon Suppression Department also have to take photos themselves when performing their tasks.
This is called professionalism.
Originally, Gu Yuan planned to use the camera to browse directly, but he felt that the screen was too big. Wei Xuanyi placed a laptop on the table and connected it to the camera through a data cable.
Gu Yuan held the mouse in his hand and looked through the photos.
Kong Baihe was not idle either, sitting beside him and explaining to Gu Yuan.
"The location of the crime is in the old city. A family of three hanged at home. Neighbors heard the family making noise last night, as well as the sound of children crying. After on-site investigation, it can be determined that it was the husband. First he hanged his wife and children, and then he chose to hang himself." Kong Baihe said.
Gu Yuan nodded slightly.
This case does sound a bit weird, but Gu Yuan was brought up by Gu Jianshan, and he has actually heard of many cases that are even weirder than this.
If this alone made Kong Baihe unsure whether there was a monster causing trouble, it would be a bit difficult.
But when I looked through the photos, I immediately noticed something strange.
This is a room that doesn't look too big. It should be in an alley somewhere in the old city. The light is dim and things are scattered everywhere, making it a bit messy.
In the middle position, there is a steel pipe inserted between the walls, and three people are hanging neatly on it. However, the distance between the steel pipe and the ground is actually only one and a half meters. The body of the child in the middle is suspended, but the two older ones are hanging in the air. Rao's feet were completely dragged on the ground.
In other words, such a height is simply not enough to complete hanging. Even if it is suicide, when a person is in a state of death, the body's survival instinct will make people stand firm on the ground.
Just like when a person commits suicide by drowning in a river, when he is really about to die, his arms will still be waving and struggling.
Under such circumstances, it is indeed unbelievable to commit suicide. How determined is this desire to die?
certainly.
This is still nothing.
It is worth mentioning that.
In the photos taken by Bai Yu and the others, there were actually some weird and mysterious patterns, or runes, on the walls of this room.
Looking through a few more photos, you will find that not only the walls, but also the floor are covered with red marks. In addition to these marks that seem to be ancient runes, there are also some animal carcasses.
Kong Baihe also saw the opportunity and said: "Those weird rune patterns are all drawn with the blood of animals. When we rushed there before, we could smell a very pungent smell of blood and stench. taste."
Gu Yuan asked in confusion: "What kind of ceremony is this?"
"I don't know, no one has seen it." Kong Baihe shook his head, "Look at the places where the animal carcasses are, there are circles drawn with blood. This special placement seems to be completed. Some kind of ritual.”
Gu Yuan nodded slightly.
"It's just that right now, we don't have enough information." Wei Xuanyi said from the side, "Next, we have to wait for the news from the Yamen."
"Want to help?" Gu Yuan asked.
"We still don't know if there is really a monster. What can I do for you?" Zhou Zhen said with a smile, "Okay, you are the sword holder now. Let us do this. If it is true, When it gets to the point where we don’t want to talk about it, even if you don’t, we will inform you.”
Gu Yuan heard that they were all like this, so he didn't ask any more questions.
He has been a little restless recently, and he really wants to go to this case with Kong Baihe and the others, but after all, he is not a member of the first team now. If he has to get involved, Zhou Zhen and the others can still think that they are doing what they think. They are not capable.
Moreover, if Gu Yuan really got involved, the level of this case would have to be raised, but now that he didn't even sense the monster, Gu Yuan really couldn't find a reason to get involved.
At this moment, Wei Xuanyi's cell phone suddenly rang, and she stood up and walked out of the cafe to answer the phone.
Kong Baihe continued the case with Gu Yuan: "When we visited before, we heard from their neighbors that this family of three are tenants and their economic conditions are not very good. The child seemed to be sick some time ago."
While Gu Yuan lamented the tragedy in the world, he also felt some sympathy for the landlord.
Not long after, Wei Xuanyi came back, but he was a little worried.
"Captain, I need to take some leave." Wei Xuanyi looked at Zhou Zhen and said.
"It's no problem." Zhou Zhen agreed without hesitation, and then cast a concerned look, "Did something happen?"
"I got a call from home. Wei Jianshen is missing." Wei Xuanyi's face turned pale.
"disappeared?!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhen immediately widened his eyes.
Gu Yuan, Kong Baihe and others also came over quickly.
"What's going on? How could a living person disappear without incident?"
"Yes, Xuan Yi, how long has Uncle Wei been missing?"
Wei Xuanyi just shook his head blankly.
"I don't know the rest yet. I just know that he has been missing for a week."
At this moment, her eyes were full of uneasiness.
Zhou Zhen and others immediately shut up and stopped asking any more questions.
They also saw that Wei Xuanyi's current condition was very bad.
"Let's do this. I'll ask Ge Fei to go back with you. If you need any help, even though we are all on our own." Zhou Zhen said immediately.
"No, no need, I don't know what's going on yet." Wei Xuanyi shook his head, "Besides, there are many Wei family members, I can just go back by myself."
"But you as a person..."
"It's okay, don't worry, captain, I'm leaving now." Wei Xuanyi said.
"Okay, I'll drive you to the high-speed rail station." Gu Yuan stood up and said.
Wei Xuanyi glanced at him, hesitated, and nodded slightly.
Sitting in the car, Gu Yuan turned his head from time to time to glance at Wei Xuanyi sitting next to him, who remained silent.
"When you get to Lucheng, let us know in time. If you really need help, don't be polite. The case in Star City is not that serious. We don't know what happened now, and there is no shortage of manpower." Gu Yuan rambled on.
Wei Xuanyi turned his face, glanced at Gu Yuan, and finally showed a smile.
"Okay, nagging like an old woman."
Then, he added: "This means that you have become a sword holder now. You cannot leave Star City casually, otherwise I will definitely take you with me. Are you worried that I will be polite to you?"
Hearing what Wei Xuanyi said, Gu Yuan felt more relieved.
Arriving at the high-speed rail station and watching Wei Xuanyi slowly walk away, Gu Yuan frowned, confused.
Wei Jianshen was an A-level master after all, so why did he disappear so suddenly?
