124 Seppuku and the Altar of Sacrifice

"Is this a secret room? Li Xiaotu turned around a little in room A, and soon found that in this room, its windows and doors were glued with a layer of transparent tape.
Although the upper layer of the door is now open, people with common sense know that the color of a place that has been taped for a long time will have a significant color difference from the nearby place that is not covered by tape.
As for the windows, just a closer look reveals the tightly adhered scotch tape on them.
The glass of the windows was also firmly obscured by dark glass stickers, which was one of the factors that the rotting corpses went unnoticed for a long time.
Of course, the room that has been sealed with scotch tape actually stops the spread of corpse odor in a near-perfect closed posture, which is the biggest reason why the rotting corpse remains unnoticed for a long time.
"The security door at the door is also covered with scotch tape from the inside. Wei Hong reminded.
"So this is a murder in a closed room, or is the deceased a suicide?" asked Li Xiaotu in a puzzled voice.
Wei Hong didn't speak, but carefully picked up a lancet wrapped in brown goo from the corpse water that had seeped out of the carrion's body and turned into a brownish sheet.
Wei Hong grabbed the lancet, found a slightly clean place, and wiped it in front of him before wiping off the filth on the lancet.
The lancet made of special steel once again emitted a sharp cold light after the layer of burden was removed.
"Click-"
After putting the lancet in the storage box, Wei Hongcai turned around and said to Li Xiaotu with his thoughts: "Actually, I don't think that this is a premeditated suicide case. β
"Oh, then, did you find any clues on the carrion?" asked Li Xiaotu with interest.
Wei Hong is different from her, Li Xiaotu has not seen the carrion corpse, and she has not found anything at the scene, if there are any special clues, it must be the carrion corpse.
"Although no key clues have been found, it is clear that a person who can think of making an air-lock for himself would not be so stupid as to choose to use caesarean section as a means of suicide. Wei Hong shrugged his shoulders and said.
"Disembowelment?" Li Xiaotu said suddenly: "What if the deceased was a ruthless person when he was alive?"
Wei Hong, putting the storage box aside, said with a smile: "A person who would want to end his life by suicide, how can he talk about self-control. β

As for seppuku, the samurai who come into contact with the foot basin are probably the ones who usually choose to end themselves when they fail in a battle and commit suicide.
Seppuku suicide was first popular in the Warring States period.
That's right, it's handsome.
To put it simply, it is the defeated nobleman, exposing his abdomen, holding the delicate ribs, kneeling in the center of the mansion, waiting for the enemy to scream 'wow wow' to kill the door, haha laughed, and thrust the ribs into the abdomen.
'This is my samurai spirit!'
They thought that this heroic death was the greatest mockery of the enemy.
However, it is very interesting to note that seppuku does not actually allow the injured person to die......
This is very embarrassing, the pain of seppuku is a real liver and intestines, and it is impossible to endure it.
As a result, when they commit suicide, there is usually a person around them, called the 'wrong person', and when the seppuku can't bear the pain of the seppuku, the wrong person will behead them after they stab themselves for the first time, and tell the outside world that the samurai died by seppuku.
On the surface, it seems that both the reputation was preserved and the bushido was fulfilled.
Actually, it's weird and ridiculous, lame and confusing.
In Room A, only the lancet, which can be used as a murder weapon, has been found.
Although the lancet appears to be unusually sharp, it is too thin to use as the only tool used in seppuku suicide.
As we all know, the human abdomen has a fat layer, which varies from person to person, and its thickness varies, but the same fat characteristics are the same.
Anyone who has cut the mutton fat can realize how tough that layer of fat is, and it can't be done without a little effort if you want to cut it.
The same is true for the fat layer of the human abdomen, if you use a lancet alone and let the hand do it, and when you completely cut open the abdomen, more than ten minutes will pass.
But do you think it's all over when you cut it?
No, there are intestines under the abdomen, and if you want to commit suicide, you must at least dig out the intestines, and finally cut some liver slices by the way, and the kidney pieces come out, and cause a heavy hemorrhage, so that you can end your life in excessive blood loss because the heart is overwhelmed and stopped.
Just kidding, not to mention a person's psychological endurance, the severe pain caused by stirring the internal organs alone is no longer something that humans can bear!

"Old Wei, this is not good. Liu Bashen found a syringe from under the bed, and there was a little liquid residue in it.
Wei Hong's face changed slightly, if the deceased had used drugs that could numb pain before his death, and then laboriously completed a vivisection for himself, this might really be possible!
"Go back and take the liquid in it and analyze it. β
Wei Hong took the syringe from Liu Ba's outreach, opened the storage box, and put it in.
"Hey, come and see, there's something here. Li Xiaotu was on the bookshelf opposite the bed, as if he had found something, and beckoned Liu Bashen and Wei Hongdao.
"This must be some kind of video tool, right?" said Liu Bashen, looking at the little thing on the shelf.
"Well, it's a simple camera. Wei Hong said affirmatively.
"I know this, I'm telling you to pay attention to where it's filmed!"
"Huh!
Wei Hong and the others were surprised to find that this camera was facing the location of the rotting corpse!
However, it is also impossible to determine whether the camera recorded the scene at that time.
Maybe it was just inadvertently placed like this, for sure.
Wei Hong took off the camera, put it away, and prepared to take it back to disassemble the memory card inside, and then retrieve the internal image to take a look.
At this moment, Xiao Zhang's side suddenly shouted: "Team Wei, the door is open!"
ββββββββββββββ
Room B, which was suddenly opened, finally revealed its hidden secrets.
Xiao Zhang stood outside the door with a thin iron bar, waiting for Wei Hong and them to come.
"Good job, Xiao Zhang. Liu Ba patted Xiao Zhang's shoulder and praised.
"Hehe, it's just a little trick that doesn't worth mentioning. Xiao Zhang replied with an embarrassed smile.
Wei Hong stepped forward and grabbed the doorknob and said to the other three: "You guys stand back, if there is anything dangerous behind the door, I can retreat." β
Wei Hong was naturally worried about the problem of corpse odor.
What exactly is inside room B, of course, is unknown.
But looking at the door of the original room B, which was also pasted with a layer of scotch tape, Wei Hong is now not sure that behind this door must be safe, maybe there is something unclean inside, and he can't say.
Wei Hong pressed the doorknob, pushed it in with a slight force at hand, and there was no obstacle as imagined, and the door of room B was easily opened.
"It's!"
Wei Hong was stunned, the scene in front of him, everything in front of him was completely unexpected.
Liu Bashen and the others heard Wei Hong's exclamation, and hurriedly stepped forward, and also saw this strange pile of boxy looking objects standing in the center of room B.
It is obviously a pile of stones made of a large number of irregular stones, but it looks like a well-designed and carefully constructed building.
The most bizarre thing is that in the center of the stone pile, there is a yellow-brown trace, and its shape is a scattered mass from the inside to the outside, and there are also radiated stars on the surrounding stones.
"What is this?" Liu Bashen asked aloud, scratching his head. In his knowledge base, there is no information about the kind of thing in front of him.
Wei Hong frowned tightly and explained in a low voice: "I saw this some time ago, it was the time when I looked up materials in the library......"
"I still remember its name, it should be called the Sacrificial Altar...... Wei Hong said slowly.
"Altar, so it's blood?" Li Xiaotu stepped into room B, wanting to get closer to the altar of sacrifice to take a closer look.
"Hey, there's a refrigerator here!" Xiao Zhang found that there was a double-layer refrigerator in the corner where the door of room B was located, because it was in the blind spot of vision before, so everyone didn't notice it just now, until after entering the room, after Xiao Zhang's reminder, everyone didn't observe it.
Room B is a bit dark, and like Room A, its windows are covered with scotch tape and dark glass stickers attached to the glass.
Liu Bashen found the switch of the light in room B, turned it on, and all of a sudden, the room was bright.
Just when everyone was curious to observe the sacrificial altar, Wei Hong walked alone to the refrigerator in the corner.
Since there are traces of blood on the stone pile, it means that this sacrificial altar has been used.
In this way, the role of this refrigerator is obvious, it should be used to store sacrifices.
"Hornβ"
Wei Hong opened the refrigerator door on the upper floor, and suddenly a rancid smell rushed to his face!
"Smack!"
Wei Hong's face changed greatly, he shook the refrigerator door, and the whole person retreated backwards again and again!
"Old Wei, it's okay!" Liu Bayen saw Wei Hong's reaction so much, and hurriedly asked nervously.
"I'm fine. Wei Hong shook his head and replied softly.
The rancid smell just now was not serious, but the appearance of that thing was too abrupt, and the combination of the rancid smell made Wei Hong have an overreaction.
"Little rabbit, didn't you mention the disappearance of Li Xiao and Cao Yi's son before. Wei Hong paused and said, "I think, we should find him......"
