Su Ping's pace quickened a lot.

Then he took a closer look and saw that there was really a foot on the grass. The distance was still shaking, but the amplitude was much smaller. The python's body was only five or six meters away.

A quick look showed that the damage to this foot was quite serious. The skin was almost completely eroded, and it was covered with white bones. The surface was also covered with a layer of inexplicable mucus that looked disgusting.

Speaking of which, human feet are actually more special organs than the shape of hands. At first glance, human hands are not much different from monkey hands, but the characteristics of human feet can be said to be unique, and they are different from apes and monkeys.

It's so huge that even a layman wouldn't admit it.

Moreover, there is actually not only one foot, but also many messy objects on the spot, but that foot is the most eye-catching.

"Is this vomited by this python?" Su Ping's eyes changed a little, and he muttered: "I felt threatened, and the excess food in my belly made it difficult to move, so I vomited out the 'thing' I had eaten.

What?"

The digestive system of snakes is quite special and extremely elastic. It can swallow its prey whole and spit it out naturally. Although it is rare for snakes to do this unless necessary, it does not mean that they will not do it. Vomiting is a serious problem.

It is an instinct possessed by most living things and is also a protective mechanism.

And there is a human foot at the scene, which means...

"Captain Su, I'm afraid something is not right about this." At this time, Qi Yuan said again: "First it was a monkey hand, then a python, and then a human foot appeared... Although this place is not a deep mountain and old forest, it is still

It can be said to be inaccessible, but something feels wrong.”

Su Ping hummed. Obviously, what he thought of, Qi Yuan also thought of.

"Notice, don't close the team yet." At this time, Xun Mu also happened to come over. After Su Ping pointed to the foot on the ground, he said: "This case is not simple. The monkey hand from before is different from this one.

It's just a foot, I'm afraid it's somewhat related, maybe it's the same incident.

In addition, inform Lao Tu and others to come over, and then ask your biological expert to come over. If possible, I suggest asking the municipal bureau for help and sending more relevant experts.

If possible, I would like to know the specific species and habits of that monkey and python in the shortest possible time. Also, I would like to ask the villagers if there are any rumors of pythons or monkeys nearby.

Oh, by the way, there is also a gathering of twenty-six people here, but at this moment... many people are separated. There is something wrong with this mountain, and there may be other dangers. Try to gather people together. If necessary,

Request the fire brigade and even the armed police for support."

Xun Mu was stunned for a moment, but after glancing at the severed foot on the ground, he immediately reacted. With his mind racing, he immediately nodded, took out his walkie-talkie and gave instructions.

"Got it!" Lao Hai's voice came from it, and he said at the same time: "Captain Su, my colleagues here in the brigade have asked the reporter to take the dog into the mountains. The dog is quite clever. He should be able to find it and pull out the severed hand.

ground."

"Okay, report any findings immediately. You can inform the brigade and ask them to adjust their walkie-talkies to the same frequency band as ours to facilitate contact."

"clear!"

…

Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, an hour passed.

Of the twenty-six people, three are still missing and have not been found.

Xun Mu had already borrowed a lot of people from other brother units to go into the mountain to search. The forest was not very big, and it was not a nature reserve. In addition, there were police dogs to help, so everyone was not overly concerned at the beginning.

Worried, but as time went by, everyone became more concerned.

During this period, Tu Zhongxin also cut open the snake's belly and took out all the "things" in its belly one by one.

Not to mention, there were quite a lot of things in the snake's belly. There was also a severed foot, a severed hand, and a whole corpse. There were many iron arrows stuck in the corpse. They were not too long, about twenty centimeters, and the arrowheads were intact. It was submerged into the body surface of the corpse, leaving about fifteen centimeters of the arrow body outside.

Because the arrow has not been pulled out yet, the exact length is difficult to determine.

Previously, Su Ping saw many bulges on the python's abdomen, which were caused by the arrow tail pressing against the python's digestive tract.

Su Ping was an expert in this area. After learning that the python's abdomen had been completely opened and the contents inside had been completely taken out, he walked over, put on gloves and observed it for a while, and said: "This is not an arrow. There is no arrow." Such a short one should be a crossbow arrow.

And it is not an ordinary crossbow arrow. Because of such a short crossbow arrow, the distance between the string arms of the crossbow is small, and the firing force is quite weak. In addition, the arrow has no feathers, and balance is also a problem. The range is quite limited, which does not meet the requirements of conventional crossbows. Due to usage requirements, even if a crossbow is used for sports competition, it will not be like this.

So it should be an unconventional crossbow, which is small, portable and easy to hide, or a repeating crossbow. In order to fire continuously, its mechanism takes up a considerable amount of space. The crossbow arrow cannot be made long, otherwise it will be too big and affect the mechanism. Operation.

Of course, it could also be a toy crossbow, but a toy crossbow shouldn't be so powerful, and it can't use iron arrows. And although the iron arrows are corroded by the snake's gastric juice, it can still be seen that the workmanship is good. The production of crossbows is in this era. It’s not particularly difficult, so it shouldn’t be a toy crossbow.”

Tu Zhongxin hummed, stared at the corpse carefully for a few more times, and said: "Preliminary speculation is that the victim is a male. It's hard to tell his age without an autopsy. It should be around thirty years old by visual inspection. At present, including the severed hands and feet, he is still young. The right hand is missing, and the fracture shows obvious signs of life. It was obviously cut off before death...

The severed part was not flat. Judging from the shape of the wound, the murder weapon should be a single-edged thin machete with a back but not thick. It might be a kitchen knife or something like that. It can also be inferred that his left hand, right hand, left foot, and right foot were chopped separately. Four swords, five swords, nine swords, seven swords.

In addition, most of the injuries caused by the arrows on the body had life effects. It is speculated that they were all injured during life and were shot to death by crossbow arrows while still alive.

To put it simply, the murderer's method of committing the crime was extremely cruel. He first cut off the victim's hands and feet, and then shot him to death with a crossbow. Simply looking at the method of committing the crime, I personally think that the murderer may have a relatively extreme vindictive tendency. It could be a vendetta or a love killing."

Su Ping hummed.

At this time, his walkie-talkie rang, and the responsible police officer in Pingbei Village reported. Finally, the three were found. They took a long circle in the mountains and ran to the next township. They also asked the police from the township police station to drive to Pingbei Village to prepare for going up the mountain. Finally, they found Meet them at the foot of the mountain.

After Su Ping replied that he knew it, he clicked his tongue again and complained: "The coordination capabilities of the police stations in this county are not good."

"Come on," Tu Zhongxin said: "The police stations in the lower districts of the city may not be any better. You also came from the grassroots police station, don't you know?"
