If all else fails, a view of the back or side is fine too.

At least we can determine the perpetrator's gender, height, and some physical characteristics.

In order to narrow down the scope.

It's around 10am.

Ye Tianming and the others received another call from Ling Qian'er.

The corpse has appeared again!

This time it was in the park.

The body was hanging from a tree, and because it was hidden by the leaves, no one noticed it at first.

Later, a woman walking her dog discovered the body hidden by the leaves because her dog kept barking at the tree.

"Master, have we found another body?"

Outside the office.

Ling Yaqing, who was looking at the documents, saw Ye Tianming come out of the office wearing a coat and immediately knew that there must be another case. So she quickly ran up to him and asked.

"Okay, pack your things and come with me."

Ye Tianming nodded and said.

"Okay, Master!"

Ling Yaqing nodded, quickly went back to her workstation to grab her phone and coat, and set off together.

More than half an hour later.

Ye Tianming arrived at the scene.

"One of our own."

Ye Tianming showed his identification, then crossed the police line and came to the tree where the corpse was hanging.

The body had already been lowered down, with a cloth underneath it, and the body was placed on the cloth.

"So it's finally the torso's turn."

Ye Tianming looked at the corpse on the white sheet and thought to himself.

"Master, it seems there's only one victim's body this time."

Ling Yaqing said.

Ye Tianming nodded, squatted down in front of the section of torso, turned it over, and examined it carefully.

The body's torso had cut marks on the neck, hips, and both sides of the shoulders.

The cut surface is very smooth.

Just like the killer's usual style.

Superb skills!

However, Ye Tianming now possesses master-level anatomical skills.

He believed that if he were in charge, he would do a better job than the murderer.

of course!

Ye Tianming is not a psychopath and would not indiscriminately kill innocent people.

Those who died at his hands were all guilty and deserved to die!

This is also the biggest difference between him and these psychopathic killers.

"Another piece of the puzzle has appeared."

Ye Tianming found a missing piece of skin on the back of the torso, which was exactly the shape of the puzzle piece.

By the way, in that game about the undead, it seems that sacrificial offerings don't need to be made this way.

It seems this was a "personal characteristic" added by the murderer himself.

...

PS: Second update delivered!!! Chapter 8.

Chapter 265: Researching the Book of Immortality! Ye Tianming's Discovery! A Step Ahead!

"Another puzzle piece!"

Behind him, Gu Zechen had just arrived when he saw the wound on the back of the corpse that Ye Tianming had turned over, and he couldn't help but shake his head and say something.

"This is the third one. I hope this isn't a new victim."

Ye Tianming said without turning his head.

The number of victims has now risen to six.

According to the description in that game...

The minimum number of offerings for a single sacrifice is three, and the maximum number is nine.

so;

If the murderer was indeed killing according to that game...

So his victims should not exceed nine.

Based on the current situation, it should be between 6 and 9.

Ideally, there should be six.

But given the brutality of this murderer...

Ye Tianming really couldn't guarantee that 6 would be the final number.

"You take a look, I'll go upstairs and take a look."

Ye Tianming said to Gu Zechen.

Then I walked to the tree in front of me, jumped up, pushed off the trunk, and easily climbed up a branch more than two meters high.

The tree branch where the corpse was hanging was located a little above that.

After Ye Tianming came up, he first observed his surroundings.

Check for any traces left by the murderer climbing.

Then I looked again at the rope that had previously held the body.

"It's a climbing rope, so the murderer is someone who likes playing games and climbing?"

Ye Tianming thought to himself.

of course!

This could also be a smokescreen deliberately released by the killer.

After all, given how cautious this guy is.

I shouldn't make such a basic mistake.

Leaving half a fingerprint beforehand was already a mistake to some extent.

It would be rather foolish to use a professional rope, one of his hobbies, for disposing of the body now.

so;

This is most likely a false signal.

It is used to mislead the police in their investigation.

After watching from the tree for a while, Ye Tianming jumped down.

"Did you find anything?"

At this moment, Gao Yanbo came over from the other side and asked.

"Also, the rope used to hang the body was a climbing rope, and a high-end brand at that, not cheap." Ye Tianming took off his gloves and said, "However, this is most likely a smokescreen put up by the murderer, but I noticed that the murderer's knotting technique was very special."

"What special law?"

Gao Yanbo asked.

"I've never seen that kind of knot before. It's not a common way to tie it. You can go up and take a look later."

Ye Tianming said.

"Is it possible that this is also a smokescreen?"

Gao Yanbo thought for a moment and then said.

"It's not impossible, just like climbing ropes."

Ye Tianming nodded; that was indeed a possibility.

It must be said;

When faced with such clever criminals, even seemingly useful clues can sometimes leave the police in a dilemma.

Because you can't be sure if it's a smoke bomb or not.

Or was it really just a small mistake made by the murderer?

Or...did the killer intentionally want the police to think it was a smokescreen, but it actually worked?

Who knows!

Let the Major Crimes Unit and the Forensic Department think about this kind of thing.

Ye Tianming and his colleagues are forensic doctors.

Just take care of the body.

but;

Ye Tianming felt that he could study the "Book of Immortality" in the game after he returned.

Of course, he didn't believe the fabricated content above.

He simply wanted to study the "Book of Immortality" to see if he could predict where the killer would dispose of the body next.
