At 9:43 a.m. on September 13, a witness discovered Abbas's body in an alley about 2 kilometers away from Allen University.

The deceased seemed to have been severely tortured before death, and the body was deliberately placed in a sacrilegious posture after death.

After spending a lot of time collecting information, the Aaron police found that the scene of the deceased's death had a profound religious meaning, and they only saw content describing his posture in one place.

That is the book "The God Is Here" written by the famous folklorist Hvend Lenger.

It records many savage tribes and ancient families and secret sects. They once held, and even still hold, religious ceremonies dedicated to the gods they believe in.

One of them mentioned a method of sacrifice once used by a minor god that no one believed in anymore.

The death of an outstanding student of Allen University is not a trivial matter, and what the murderer did to his body after his murder is even more intolerable and unacceptable to this civilized and advanced city.

Elwood is one of the best detectives in the Aaron police and one of the old sheriff's most trusted men.

But at this moment, he couldn't help but feel anxious about this case.

The man is over thirty, which is the perfect age for engaging in intellectual and physical activities. He does not wear a regular uniform, but a coat commonly worn by old-fashioned detectives. He can carry and hide weapons and tools. Under the coat, he wears

A vest for easy movement.

This was specially approved by the old sheriff, because Elwood believed that uniforms represented restraint and would also affect other people's first impression of him. When others subconsciously did not regard him as a police detective, he could get more from other people.

Much information.

Of course, the police badge should be carried in the inner pocket of the coat. This is the best weapon to deal with those restless guys.

The firearm should also be close to the waist, hidden in the blind spot covered by the coat, and it should be ensured that it can be quickly drawn out anytime and anywhere. The reason why he is the best police detective is not only because he has many qualities that others think of him.

There was an unexplainable flash of inspiration, but it was more that he had the skills to deal with most criminals head-on.

He can master melee combat, spearmanship, and modern swordsmanship with ease.

But Agent Ellwood, who has subdued countless heinous criminals, still feels nauseated and horrified after witnessing Abbas's death.

"Professor Anthony, how well do you know Mr. Hwendrenger?"

Elwood was questioning Mr. Anthony, who had been invited by the Sheriff early in the morning, and it was he who immediately recognized the meaning of the deceased's posture.

Anthony, dean of the School of History, said:

"Officer Elwood, Professor Hevin was hired by me personally, but I don't know much about his past. It is difficult for a scholar like him to settle in one place for a long time, but has to travel to different places from time to time.

I am doing my own research, so I don’t have any friends who know Professor Hewen particularly well.

"But I can guarantee you that if Professor Hewen saw Abbas's death, he would definitely feel sad for him."

Elwood asked routinely:

"Professor Anthony, in your opinion, is it possible that Mr. Hevin performed the rituals recorded in his book out of some abnormal psychology?"

Elwood actually didn't doubt Hevin too much, because it was unlikely that such a famous person would do such a self-destructive thing. If he really killed someone and wanted to perform some ancient ritual, then he

There is no need to record this kind of sacrifice in one's own book, and just dumping the body two kilometers away from Allen University is a bit underestimating Allen's outstanding police detectives.

However, the possibility of committing crimes cannot be completely ruled out. Some serial murderers who were affected by excessive spoiling in childhood or domestic violence may have the desire to express their inner pursuits to the world.

And there are even some people who are almost crazy confident in their criminal methods. They will deliberately leave many obvious loopholes and clues to provoke the police, because they think that everything they do is perfect. Even if they tell the police that they are the murderers, this

A group of ignorant mortals cannot find evidence of their own crimes.

Ellwood had personally arrested many of these prisoners, and at the last moment they would often be in disbelief or express high praise for capturing Ellwood.

Elwood would just spit in their faces and tell them that his proud modus operandi was, in his eyes, nothing more than childish.

Their angry looks often gave Elwood some comfort in the fact that he didn't feel validated by these scumbags.

Professor Anthony said solemnly at this moment:

"I believe in Professor Hewen's character. It is impossible for him to behave like this. From the time spent with him and reading his books, I can understand him to a certain extent. He is definitely not like this.

A person who becomes complacent in evil deeds and violence."

Elwood asked:

"Then is he too modest?"

Anthony shook his head:

"No, he is a very confident person."

Elwood was a little relieved, because excessive modesty is often an extreme of arrogance, and most murderers have the arrogance to regard life as an insect.

To them, other people's lives are just consumables used for self-gratification or "artistic" expression.

The murderer must have artistic attainments that are different from ordinary people, because the final scene shown by the deceased is not only a bloody dissection and dismemberment, but also makes people feel the fear he wants to convey from the bottom of his heart to a certain extent.

It was enough to make everyone feel extremely sick, disgusted, disgusted, and unspeakably strong hatred. It was a blasphemous painting against humanity.

The moment he saw the body, Elwood's first reaction was to destroy it and prevent anyone from touching and witnessing this scene again.

He's not the only one who thinks so.

Of course he didn't do it, but he almost did it until the old sheriff stopped him.

Rather than destroying his works, the more important thing is to capture this extremely evil murderer. This is their responsibility.

The murderer must have enjoyed the moment of completing his work so much that he dedicated this scene to everyone in the city so that everyone passing by could appreciate it as the sun rose.

Perhaps before the police took over the scene, the killer had been lingering near the spot where the body was found, enjoying the expressions on everyone's face when they saw his artwork.

No, maybe he is still near the crime scene, using his telescope from a distance to observe the emotions and reactions of the police present.

Elwood took a deep breath:
Chapter completed!
