Chapter 8.

Wonderful Find.

In the morning, the rain had already stopped, which made a person who was running near the forest scream at seven in the morning because of the creepy situation. This was not Halloween, it was not a day for jokes for someone to do something so twisted.

Only a person with such a sour and broken sense of humor would be able to make jokes about decorating an oak tree with a body. It was clear that this was not the time to create jokes.

The moment they called the authorities and they arrived, they found this new victim and cursed under their breath. First the girl in this same forest, then the newborn in the supermarket and now this man in the tree.

It was clear that he was someone who was fucking sick, because ¿who could do something so terrible to another person's body without having remorse?

With this, the perpetrator was only indicating to them that it did not matter if it was a child or an adult, he could easily face both and give a good quality of a crime with a stage almost as if it were an artist performance.

This made Jake report that they should review the older files or something that had to do with a murderer never found in the last twenty or thirty years.

It had to be one of them, because these crimes were very similar to some cases that occurred twenty-two years ago, where they said it had been the crystalline rebellion of the three selves.

At first it was believed that it was someone with multiple personality at that time, when technology was not so advanced.

It was still an extremely sensitive situation, because these victims were someone's children, they belonged to a family and had been selected to have a fateful outcome. The forensic doctors managed to lower the body, which was still wet from the rain and felt cool, but the expressions on the victim's face left no room for doubt about the suffering he had endured at the hands of a psychopath who seemed to enjoy these cruel acts.

None of them showed remorse, but rather an unmatched coldness, something that had clearly been done by someone cold and emotionless, who probably had no family, and if he did, this was the most problematic member of it.

The examinations were carried out in the morgue, trying to obtain precisely what it was that had been used to separate these parts of the body. One of the forensic experts said that it could have been a smooth-bladed saw, while others admitted that it could have been some butcher's knives.

But then, the oldest of all said: This seems to be something that would be done with an axe, because if another type of tool were used, the instrument would have to be moved several times.

 But here we only see that it was a single cut, which indicates that he may be a lumberjack who has the strength and ability to cut tree trunks with easy movements full of agility and, above all, experience.

But maybe they are not the same people who committed the crime against the children. This may be a settling of accounts, but a very macabre one due to the ingenious way he acted, as if he were decorating a Christmas tree.

If you notice, each piece he cut could easily be the tree's ornaments. But if you notice, from the knees up the body remains in perfect condition.

Sure, you can see the excitement of death in his muscles, which indicates that this was something that was done with the person being alive and conscious. However, I almost dare to say that he is someone who is in very good physical condition to be able to creatively decorate a tree with body parts on a rainy night on top of an oak tree.
