When the two arrived at the gate of the earthen building, several auxiliary police officers at the scene and Xiao Liu from the township police station were sitting in the police car in the yard to rest.

Xiao Liu had received a notice from Zhang Guodong before and wanted to wait for Li Ruiming and others on the spot.

But after waiting for an hour, I didn't see anyone, and my legs were numb after being tired.

Now that Xiao Liu saw Li Ruiming and Wu Ge coming, Xiao Liu immediately got out of the car and extended his hand to Li Ruiming enthusiastically.

"Hey, Brother Li! You're here. We're relieved this time. This time, even if the raccoon is replaced by the prince, we can solve the case!"

"I'm so poor, how are the on-site reconnaissance?" Li Ruiming asked.

"Don't worry, leader, we have carefully investigated the scene several times. Judging from the traces at the scene, the deceased should have been strangled to death.

However, the murderer did not take action directly.

The murderer probably put a circle of elastic nylon rope around the neck of the deceased Lodi Chaolu, and then tied heavy objects under the nylon rope.

The murderer pushed the heavy object through a long pole in the room next door, tightened the rope, and finally killed Lodi Chaolu."

Li Ruiming listened carefully to Xiao Liu's introduction and looked up at the earthen building with strange graffiti.

"Brother Li, you should go up and take a look with me first. The murderer doesn't seem to be just for killing people."

"Oh? Not just for killing people?"

Li Ruiming obviously became more interested.

In this way, Wu Ge and Li Ruiming followed Xiao Liu and came to the crime scene again.

Wu Ge has seen this terrifying death scene with his own eyes, so he is naturally mentally prepared.

But although Li Ruiming is also an old detective, it is a remote area after all, and it is difficult for the county to come into contact with several murders throughout the year. Obviously, he did not expect that the death of the deceased would be so terrifying.

The expression on Li Ruiming's face was a little surprised, but he quickly understood why Xiao Liu said that the murderer might not just be for the murder.

The dawn light reflected on the corpse of the old patriarch, forming a shadow covering the whole body.

"What is his head?" Li Ruiming asked.

"Wolf Teeth."

Li Ruiming frowned slightly, slowly approached the body, and asked Wu Ge:

"When the old patriarch died... were you there?"

"Well, I was still downstairs at that time. I saw the murderer. He was short and might be wearing a mask." Wu Ge said.

"How tall is short? Are there any obvious signs?"

"Just from the height of the windowsill next door, it should be about 1.6 meters, and it looks like Grandma Pum. As for the characteristics... it is too dark and I didn't see clearly. My face looks like a black man covered with grease, a little old, and his smile is exaggerated." Wu Ge said truthfully.

Li Ruiming frowned and thought, then continued to investigate on the spot.

He was very interested in the wolf teeth inserted on the old patriarch's head. After taking a closer look, he checked other wolves-related accessories in the room.

But the result disappointed him and did not associate the old patriarch's death with that kind of insect.

During the subsequent on-site investigation, Li Ruiming did not get any more clues, and he had no objection to the way of death and the murderer's method of killing.

So, Li Ruiming and Wu Ge came to the room next door and began to conduct a detailed search of Grandma Pumu's room.

The last time I was anxious to catch the black-faced monster, Wu Ge did not stay in this room for too long.

When I came in again to check this time, Wu Ge found that Grandma Pumu's life seemed to be very exquisite.

Everything in Grandma Pum's house was well-organized, with cups, bowls and chopsticks neatly. Even the hanging belts under the knitted thread covers outside the sofa were combed very smoothly.

However, in such a neat room, there is a place that looks a bit messy and very abrupt.

This place is the table that Wu Ge checked before with black beetles.

The things placed on the table are in a mess, and they are all pushed to the innermost edge of the table.

Judging from the state on the table, Pumm should have been a little anxious when he left, so he pushed all the things on the table into it.

Wu Ge flipped over the debris on the inside of the table, with small carving knives, pendants, some talismans written with Kangyu, some carved wooden blocks with strange patterns, and some paints.

Wu Ge picked up one of the wooden blocks and found that the pattern on it looked very familiar.

Soon, Wu Ge remembered.

The pattern on the wooden block turned out to be the black and dirty face he saw outside last night.

The reason why this strange face made him feel a little familiar was that Professor Li Zushi once wore a mask with a similar pattern!

That should be a weird insect face.

The wrinkles on the face are actually the lines of the insect face.

The overall shape of this insect face is a bit heart-shaped, wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, mottled and dense texture, and the two black goose egg-shaped eyeballs are round and transparent, which is breathtaking.

Wu Ge was looking at the wooden block and was fascinated. Li Ruiming patted his shoulder and said:

"What's wrong? What's the discovery?"

Wu Ge then recovered and handed the wooden block in his hand to Li Ruiming, saying:

"The pattern on this wooden block is the same as the mask I saw the murderer wearing last night."

"Oh? So, this wizard Pum must have been doing some weird ritual last night." Li Ruiming speculated.

"Well, maybe that's the case, but this is not the point. Not only did the people in the room wear this mask last night, but others also wear this mask!" Wu Ge said.

"Oh? Who is it?" Li Ruiming raised his eyebrows, obviously very interested in this question.

"It's the leader of the scientific research team, Professor Li Zunzhi." Wu Ge said.

Li Ruiming frowned slightly and swallowed:

"You mean...that genius doctor?"

"Yeah, that's him."

"This is interesting, so let's go and ask him." Li Ruiming said.

"etc……"

While Wu Ge was talking to Li Ruiming, he suddenly found that the black beetle in the glass jar was a little strange.

Last night, the black beetle looked quite active. Although it was impossible to be as lively as the wild insects outside, it at least looked healthy.

But now, the black beetle in the glass jar not only broke free from the infusion tube inserted into it, but also struggled and curled up in a corner of the glass jar, looking a little wilted.

At this time, next to the huge palate of the black beetle, there were still a bunch of gray confetti-like objects, which should be mixed in the soil to maintain soil permeability.

"What's wrong?" Li Ruiming said in surprise.

"There is something wrong with this big beetle," said Wu Ge.

"It's not right. This is the first time I've seen such a big bug. No wonder I'm offering this old wizard. If it's called the insect god, it's really a bit arrogant." Li Ruiming said.

At this time, Xiao Liu also walked in and saw the two of them watching the big black worm attentively, and immediately said:

"This big beetle is so big. When Ding Yong went upstairs with us last night, he also watched the beetle for a long time and took several photos."

"Take a photo? Are you guys trying to return? How do you protect the scene!" Li Ruiming suddenly scolded.

"Uh... I thought he was doing research at the time, and this was not the first scene, so I didn't think too much about it... Team Li, I was wrong, I was wrong..." Xiao Liu immediately became a little nervous.

When Wu Ge heard that they mentioned Ding Yong, he immediately asked:

"Where is Ding Yong now?"

"He...he should have gone back to the hotel now. This guy was having a lot of trouble last night," said Xiao Liu.

"Call him and let him come over." Wu Ge ordered.

Xiao Liu raised his eyebrows, obviously feeling a little dissatisfied with this guy who was still the suspect the day before yesterday and now became the commander.

However, because Li Ruiming was next to him, it was not easy to have an attack, so he had to say in disappointment:

"Okay, Detective, then I'll try it. He probably hasn't gotten up yet."

Xiao Liu dialed the phone, and Ding Yong's voice was a little tired, but he still said that he would come over immediately.

In addition to Ding Yong, Wang Na and Hu Xiaobing also expressed their willingness to come with them together.

Obviously, these insect fans must have heard yesterday that Ding Yong saw the big black beetle at Grandma Pum's house, so now they can't help but want to see the truth immediately.

Wu Ge naturally did not refuse, and he was about to talk to the people in the scientific research team again to see if he could squeeze out more valuable clues.
