Return to 1983 and be a detective

Chapter 596 Night Owls and Hypnosis

The clue was broken, and Xu Shan was very unwilling. He decided to examine the herdsman's body again.

When he saw the body of the herdsman, his heart was churning again and again.

This good guy, this corpse looks really scary.

His two eyes were completely black holes, and the flesh on his body had been scratched by something, one by one. There were so many wounds on his body that they looked like stripes, making it seem like he was seeing a zebra man.

What's even more incredible is that the scars on the herdsman's body are all evenly spaced.

Someone must have used some tool to cause such harm.

Xu Shan asked the Liangzhou police who were responsible for investigating the matter. They said that they also suspected that the herdsman was not telling the truth, so they had been sending people to monitor the herdsman's every move.

It's just that the surveillance they are responsible for is only during the day. At night, they can only send one person to follow.

On the day the case occurred, the man they sent out to follow him was said to have suddenly felt very sleepy, and then he took a nap. However, the nap was very short, only 10 minutes, but when he woke up Afterwards, he found that the tent in the herdsman's house was on fire. He quickly stepped forward to put out the fire, but when he saw that the herdsman had been tied to a cross, his body was covered with such scars.

This was a bit too weird. Xu Shan knew that it would be absolutely impossible to tie a person up like this and impose such a cruel punishment in 10 minutes.At the same time, there is another problem. Liangzhou Province is different from other provinces. People here live far apart, especially herdsmen. Those who do not live in cities can only meet one or two people within a radius of dozens of kilometers. Households.

Therefore, it is impossible for ordinary people to rush to this herdsman's house in these short 10 minutes, let alone directly take action to create such a murder scene.

What exactly is going on?

Xu Shan thought and carefully inspected the body.

Suddenly, he found a very fine hair on the herdsman's arm.

This down is not from animals, but from birds, but I don’t know how it got on.

Ordinarily, it is impossible to hide velvet in this wound, unless the velvet was at the scene when the crime occurred.

But how is this possible?

Could it be that this herdsman is raising birds?

He thought about it and found out that this herdsman named Xia Ji was not a bird farmer, nor did he have the skills to raise birds and hunt them. Therefore, the fuzz that appeared on this guy's wound was probably not his, but left behind by the murderer. .

But how is this possible?

How did the murderer come and how did he leave?

Unless he can fly.

By the way, the killer can fly.

Xu Shan's eyes lit up, and he thought of a possibility.

That is, the murderer is not actually a human being.

but a bird.

If Xu Shan would never believe such a weird thing before, now that he has experienced so much, even Su Shuai will suddenly use his powers. This shows that from a certain point in time, the world will be different from Xu Shan. The future generations have become completely different worlds.

And if Xu Shan wants to maintain the stable development of this world and let it develop in a direction similar to that of later generations at least on the surface, he must use his true skills to eliminate these guys as soon as possible.

He called the police comrade in charge of the surveillance over and inquired in detail about the situation that night.

The comrade's surname was Zhou. When he heard Xu Shan's questioning, he was a little nervous and a little annoyed at the same time: "Actually, I wish I could have held on at that time. This was obviously a very important witness, but because of my mistake... …”

"Don't regret it anymore. I just want to ask you if you heard any special noise that night."

"Special sound?" Comrade Zhou recalled for a while and suddenly said, "I seemed to hear the cry of a night owl that night."

"What does a night owl sound like?"

Xu Shan has also heard the calls of night owls, but there are many kinds of calls of night owls, and it is said that different calls have different meanings.

There was a trace of horror on Comrade Zhou's face: "It seems like a person is laughing."

Don't be afraid of night owls barking, just be afraid of night owls laughing.

It is said that when a night owl smiles, it actually means someone is going to die.

"Are there many night owls in our area?"

"Not many. In our area, there are many eagles and almost no night owls. It is said that only on the top of Mount Shenshan lives a thing called the snowy owl, which is the same species as the night owls. I only know about it because I was transferred from the mainland. What do night owls call?”

"Do you feel sleepy after hearing the night owl meow?"

"Yeah, this is really strange. I obviously don't like to sleep much, and I am the least sleepy person in our bureau. But why can't I help myself to sleep when I hear the night owl barking that night?"

"It seems that you were hypnotized by the cry." Xu Shan said, "And I suspect that you thought you were only asleep for 10 minutes, but in fact it was not. You may have been asleep for more than an hour."

"That's impossible. I checked the time before I went to sleep. I must have only slept for 10 minutes."

"I don't doubt you, but there are many things that affect your judgment. For example, you were hypnotized invisibly. There is a bias in looking at the time."

"But no one has ever come into contact with me. The most I've heard is the cry of a night owl a few times. Is it possible that someone can hypnotize me through the air and use their voice to hypnotize me? It seems unrealistic."

"No, it's very realistic. Now that I think about it, I finally understand why the herdsman suddenly sleepwalked. It is very likely that he was not sleepwalking, but was hypnotized. After being hypnotized, he left the camp and gave it to the poachers. Take advantage of it."

"By the way, when you said that, I remembered it. In fact, the sentry posts of our hunting team seem to be one light and one dark. Although I don't know how it was arranged that day, there are basically no bright posts and dark posts. At the same time, no incoming enemies were found, so now that you say this, I suddenly understand that it is very possible that the herdsman Xia Ji is the secret sentry of this camp."

Comrade Zhou's words completely made Xu Shan understand the matter: "Yes, now it seems that Xia Ji was controlled and hypnotized at that time, left the camp, and allowed the poachers to break in. At that time, Ming Gang might not have noticed something for the first time, but when he did, he started a gun battle with the poachers, but in the end he was defeated by the poachers who came well prepared due to lack of preparation."
