Chapter 138 The Scavenger

"I found it." Yan Suizhi copied a few photos in his hand and dialed them to Gu Yan, "We have circled a lot of people, but we skipped these few photos."

Next to the photo is Ben Qi's small words stating that for the convenience of taking pictures, he lived in the University City of Batlia where Professor Zhou is located, close to the Faculty of Philosophy and Faculty of Medicine.There is a small apartment area next to the hotel where he lives, and the few unusual birds were photographed in that apartment area.

There are four photos in total, three were taken in the morning and one was taken at dusk.There are intervals between shots, but there are always four birds.

Three of them have slender crown feathers, delicate and beautiful, and the other one is farther away from them, dusty and inconspicuous, like a passerby who accidentally strayed into the camera.

Jim Bench wrote the words——a rare snowfinch, this kind of bird does not like to live alone, and is very dependent. It often forms a team of three, and when it meets a bird with leadership qualities, it likes to follow.They may not have woken up today, and picked a gray spotted finch to be the leader.Of course, it is also possible that the gray spotted finch was dazzled by their beauty and was reluctant to fly away.

If he took these few photos more beautifully, even if he couldn't make it to the homepage of the website, he would still be able to make it into the gallery of cover materials and the like.

But he took photos that looked like a forensics scene, so of course, he was discarded in the pile of photos and never saw the light of day.

Yan Suizhi said, "I don't know much about other things, but the snow sparrow just happens to know a little bit. On the snow-capped mountains on Helan Star, this kind of bird is not uncommon. Although they are very clingy, they are very proud. So yesterday I scanned When I explained this sentence, I thought it was quite strange that the snow finch would follow the gray sparrow, which is too rare."

He didn't think about it at the time, after all, he was focusing on finding someone, but this sentence still left some impression in his mind, and he didn't expect it to come in handy in the end.

Those few photos were magnified several times by them without loss, and finally the inconspicuous gray bird could be seen clearly.

As expected, the little bird's tail feathers were really a little dark red.

"Sure enough." Gu Yan said.

The three snowfinch were not stupid at all, and they were following the rare shepherd bird, not the gray spotted finch.

The shepherd bird is outside the nest star, and it may not be seen for more than ten years. After all, the nest star has a special environment, with different air composition, water quality, magnetic field, and day and night patterns. It can stay for a short time, and the survival time is no more than one month.

Those who domesticate it are rarely willing to bring it out.

Seeing a shepherd bird in Batlia University City is a small probability event.

At that time, Professor Zhou entered the hospital.

Years of experience tell them that it is not impossible for small probability events to occur at the same time at the same place, and there are many coincidences in this world.But if you really can't find other connections, you might as well rethink the so-called "coincidence".

Yan Suizhi used the enlarged details of "Muding Bird" as the search source, and screened the stack of photos with a high degree of matching.

In the blink of an eye, some photos were pulled out from the thick stack.

If the number of photos before is always surprisingly large, then this time it is a bit surprisingly few. The old photos given to them by Jim Bench span 28 years, and the photos of the past two years are not in this package.There are hundreds of thousands of photos taken in the past 28 years, and there are less than 20 of them that contain the mutton bird.

Yan Suizhi snorted after reading the first few photos, but he couldn't tell whether it was mocking or knowing.

Like handing out poker, he spread the photos one by one on the table——

"Mr. Bevan's funeral. There was a mule bird in the cemetery woods."

This is the manufacturer of the medical cabin mentioned at the beginning of Eunice's video diary, who died of an overdose of painkillers.

"Professor Zhou was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment for the first time. Students from the University of Batlia's Faculty of Medicine went to visit in large numbers. One flew in the sky on the upper right."

"The one with Xueque in the apartment just now happened to be the second day after Professor Zhou entered the hospital."

"The University of Batlia announced that Professor Zhou had passed away, and one of them was parked on the statue in the central square of the University City."

"Ms. Luce was accused of drug mines, and there was a pigeon on the pigeon track outside the court."

"It's Ms. Luce's suicide, and the shepherd bird flies over the prison."

……

Yan Suizhi read the brief descriptions attached to the photos one by one.

"They are all familiar faces." He has lined up a dozen or so photos.

Bevan, Professor Zhou, Luce and the like are all Eunice and Joe have been paying attention to.

There are also a few people related to gene modification and medicine, which Yan Suizhi once paid attention to, and then passed away one after another due to illness or accident.

The further back, the slower Yan Suizhi put down the photo, and the tighter his brows frowned.

Until he saw another familiar face, his fingers stopped immediately.

"Bill Rue..." he pronounced the name.

Both he and Gu Yan are too familiar with this name - the defendant in that medical case, Yan Suizhi's former client.

"When was it taken?" Gu Yan frowned and looked at the time of the photo.

Yan Suizhi had already opened his mouth and said, "It should be the day when he was executed after half a year in prison."

The alliance has abolished the death penalty for a long time, and only made a fuss about the length of the prison term. The most dangerous prisoners will be stuffed into special space prisons and implemented interstellar exile. The longest prison term can even be equal to the lifespan of the planet.

But later, because of the follow-up effects of interstellar pirates and war conflicts, the alliance resumed the death penalty, mainly targeting prisoners in the two areas of military security and medical treatment.

After all, the two are related to living human lives, and hundreds of billions of human lives.

There is a special court for the execution of the death penalty, which is heavily guarded. At first glance, it looks like a huge metal coffin. Except for the executor and the prisoner, no one else can see it.On the day Bill Rue was executed, many cars were parked on the winding mountain road far from the execution ground, most of them were the families of the victims and some reporters, including Jim Bench at the time.

They can only look at the metal outer wall of the execution ground from a distance on the mountain, which can be regarded as an indirect witness to a battle of heaven and justice.

The shepherd bird was not in the direction of the execution ground, but landed in the woods on the top of the mountain where they were standing.

If other reporters came to take pictures, they would definitely not be able to take pictures of this bird.Only people like Jim Bunche, who doesn't miss any angle and doesn't pay much attention to the aesthetics of the picture, will bring the inconspicuous forest into the lens when shooting the crowd.

"There is one last photo." Yan Suizhi spread the last photo on the table.

In the photo is a manor villa surrounded by flowers and trees, with a calm and heavy shape.At that time, Jim Bench should have been on a suspended track in the distance, and pulled the camera to the closest. Under the interference of the anti-candid camera device, he was barely able to cross the overlapping tall trees and trees, and took a picture of the fountain pool in front of the villa. I'm having a party.As for the people at the party, I couldn't get a picture of any of them.The only thing that can be photographed clearly is the bird hovering over the villa.

There are many birds, and at first glance they are all gray spotted finches.If you don't search accurately, you won't know that there is a shepherd bird mixed in there.

Gu Yan looked at the building and said, "This is the manor of the Manson family on Tianqin."

……

Nearly 20 photos were arranged in a long row on the desktop, smashing the so-called "coincidence" to pieces.

Except for the nest star, no shepherd bird is produced in other places at all.And it appeared on other planets, there is only one possibility - it was brought there by domesticated people.

There are so many photos of the shepherd bird, which means that the trainer is also there every time.

This coincides with Yan Suizhi and Gu Yan's initial thinking.

They want to find the suspect who "returned to the scene", but finding such a person among so many people with mixed photos is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack.But it was different with the shepherd bird. The characteristics of the suspect became obvious in an instant, because he had another identity—a bird trainer.

They searched carefully among the nearly 20 photos, and finally a person at Mr. Bevan's funeral caught their attention.

There were a lot of people attending that funeral, not only his family members, but also business partners who had cooperated with him, some reporters, all wearing black clothes, and there was a big black area.

When the photo was taken, the closing ceremony of the cemetery had just ended, and the crowd was half-dispersed. Some were whispering, some were walking with their heads down, some were looking into the distance, and some looked back. tombstone.

Only one young man among the crowd, neither looking at the road nor people, looked up at the branches of the trees.

Yan Suizhi magnified the photo many times.

After zooming in, they realized that the man was younger than they thought, probably less than 20 years old.From the side view alone, the young man's facial features are actually very regular, but the gloomy expression between his eyebrows and eyes makes him uncomfortable.

"What's that on the earlobe? A mole?" Gu Yan frowned.

Yan Suizhi enlarged the photo again.

This time, the two of them could see clearly that it should be a small tattoo of spades.

Gu Yan suddenly opened his mouth and said: "In the classic suit theory, apart from soldiers and guards, I have heard another explanation about spades, which is somewhat similar but more suitable here."

"What?" Yan Suizhi looked at him.

Gu Yan said: "Scavenger."

Just based on the young man's posture and gaze, it may not be certain that he is the bird trainer.

But adding that spade tattoo makes it different.

"Do you think that if you use this photo as a search source, can you find this person's information on the Internet?" Yan Suizhi said, and he had already loaded this profile into the face recognition frame, and used his smart phone to identify people within 30 years. The network information has been screened with a high degree of conformity.

"Maybe there are, but definitely not many." Gu Yan said.

Almost as soon as he spoke, Internet search gave the answer——

There is only one picture that completely matches the filter.

It was an old photo taken many years ago, but it was released recently, and it came from a newly opened web page, so unpopular that the number of views was only a handful.Maybe it survived because it was published recently and few people read it.

This newly opened web page is a welfare home called Yuncao, located in Wine City.
