At two o'clock in the afternoon, Jian Ye Hotel, in the suite on the ninth floor.

The deceased was a middle-aged man, in a very strange posture, kneeling on the ground on his knees, pinching the middle finger with the thumb of his left hand in a circle, inserting the thumb of his right hand from the tiger's mouth of his left hand, and holding the seal of his left hand with the remaining four fingers, and placing his hands on his knees, as if he was performing a religious ritual of kneeling. It's just puzzling that the deceased was soaked with water, his eyes were wide open, his eyes were cracked, and his face was extremely angry. Droplets of water trickled down the ends of his hair, forming a stain on the ground.

When Gu Tianyou arrived with his real identity, Dai Xiaolou and a group of veteran criminal investigators from the corps were analyzing the cause of death of the deceased. Professor Li Lao was also invited to the scene, and the forensic doctor Wu Weiguo personally conducted an autopsy to find the cause of death and determine the time of death.

When Li Yunqing saw Gu Tianyou, he immediately beckoned: "Come and see, this person is the owner of the jeep last night, and the hotel surveillance three days ago showed that he had driven this car in and out of the hotel parking lot." ”

Gu Tianyou said yes and walked over to look at the deceased carefully.

Luan Xueping, the political commissar of the corps, said: "Could it be that someone pricked a fatal acupuncture point with a needle and died? If so, I'm afraid it will be difficult to make an accurate judgment with the naked eye alone. ”

Dai Xiaolou said: "There is this possibility, but I still prefer drug death, but I don't know what drug can make a person drain the water of the whole body." ”

Wu Weiguo, the old director of the Public Security Fire Hospital, raised his head and said: "As far as I know, there is no such medicine, but one thing you said is right, the deceased did die of dehydration." ”

Professor Li Yunqing said: "This person's posture is very strange, as if he is performing some kind of religious ritual, and finally dies in a very cruel punishment. ”

Gu Tianyou looked around the rest of the room, this was a suite with one living room, one bedroom and one bathroom, the deceased knelt in the wide part of the living room, and the furniture in the room could not be seen to be destroyed. There were no visible signs of a fight on the surrounding walls or on the ground. The bathroom door was open, and the space inside was clear at a glance, and there was no sign of dragging the body. The dead man was soaking wet, but the water came from within him.

"This man is exhausted to death!" Gu Tianyou made his own judgment based on the current situation. He said in a deep voice: "This person's whole body strength is used to stand up, and his hand is holding a sword technique, and he wants to replace the sword with his hand but he can't stab this sword in the end." His whole body was soaked with sweat and eventually he died of dehydration. The human body cultivation of the first hand is superb, and the power control is wonderful, if it weren't for the purpose of extorting a confession, this person would not have died so painfully. ”

This statement is a bit unbelievable, even though everyone present is well-informed, but it is difficult to form an intuitive identification with such a killing method.

Dai Xiaolou frowned and said, "Can you be more specific?" ”

Gu Tianyou said: "The deceased should be a Japanese man, between forty and fifty years old, proficient in swordsmanship, the cause of death is dehydration and death, specifically, this person was squeezed out of the water in his body little by little, in the process of death, he has always been able to clearly feel the imminent death, and the pain generated in the process of organ failure is completely borne by him, so his expression is so hideous, so I think this person experienced a terrible confession before his death." ”

Luan Xueping questioned: "This is a bit unbelievable, can the young man of our special investigation team come up with more concrete evidence to prove your statement?" ”

Gu Tianyou smiled and said, "As long as the murderer's kung fu cultivation is reached, it is still possible to do it, if you find it hard to believe, I can demonstrate it to you live." ”

Luan Xueping really wanted to be more serious, and asked, "How are you going to show me?" He also signed up to join the special investigation team, but unfortunately he didn't get his wish. Regarding Gu Tianyou's selection, I have always been a little incomprehensible, let alone convinced.

Everyone present was also curious about Gu Tianyou's statement, so no one objected, and they all watched silently.

Gu Tianyou said: "It's very simple, I reach out and press on the top of your head, you will sweat profusely within thirty seconds, and after a minute, you will have panic and shortness of breath, if you continue, you will not have to be dehydrated in ten minutes." ”

Luan Xueping stood in front of Gu Tianyou and said yes. Gu Tianyou then raised his hand and pressed it on Luan Xueping's head.

While applying pressure, he felt the force point of Luan Xueping's body's resistance, and skillfully changed the direction of his force, so that his resistance was controlled in a delicate state of balance. Pressure is applied to the spine through the top of the head, and it is easy to tire your opponent out.

After a while, Luan Xueping's legs began to bend, and sweat appeared on his forehead. Under this kind of contact, his every move can't hide Gu Tianyou's perception, any part of the slightest force, Gu Tianyou can detect and accurately adjust the angle of force in time, and use his spine as the torque transmission center to adjust his body balance.

At this moment, this political commissar Luan can be described as a matchmaker in Gu Tianyou's hands, and his every move is involuntary. The pressure was constant, and his physical strength was running by quickly. Finally, he couldn't hold back and said, "Please stop, I understand!" As soon as Gu Tianyou raised his hand, Luan Xueping felt the pressure on his head loosen, and the whole person jumped up reflexively. In the end, he jumped this time, even exceeding the level of high jumpers.

His feet hit the ground, and he was still sweating. looked at Gu Tianyou in horror and said, "There really is such a killing method!" ”

Gu Tianyou nodded and said, "Please forgive me for being reckless and making you suffer, fortunately, this technique is used properly, not only harmless but beneficial." ”

Facts speak louder than words, and everyone else present was amazed and shocked.

Dai Xiaolou asked, "How can you tell that this person is Japanese?" ”

Gu Tianyou said: "This person's gesture is actually a unique sword holding posture, I have personally seen a person use it, it should be a very powerful sword path." ”

Li Yunqing asked humbly: "You can do what this murderer can do, does it mean that your kung fu cultivation is about the same?" ”

Gu Tianyou said: "The deceased's posture of holding the sword is special, judging from the shape of his spine curvature, his kendo cultivation should be in the eighth rank or even higher, the murderer can use this way to force him to confess, the kung fu cultivation is enough for me to be out of reach, I can suppress the political commissar Luan because he is not a person in the martial arts world, and this deceased's kendo cultivation is so high, if you want to suppress him in this way, you need a very strong realm, such a person can be said to be rare." ”

The vehicle driven by Xu's assassin was that of a Japanese kendo master who had been tortured to death in a brutal way. Before he died, he may have been forced to confess. Such a fact made Gu Tianyou think of Zou Haibo. With the quality of the staff of the bureau for reporting foreign affairs, it should not be difficult for the public security organs to find this person one step ahead of them. For example, if the person who shot is the Arhat, it can be done!

These thoughts can only be thought of in the heart. With Zou Haibo's temperament and the strength in his hands, it is not uncommon to do such a thing. It's just that for the Wudong police, an important clue has been cut off, which can be regarded as very bad news.

Dai Xiaolou looked serious and said: "The results of the trace collection at the scene are very unsatisfactory, the murderer has almost no clues, no fingerprints and footprints, and the surveillance of the hotel has not left an image of a suspicious person, the deceased died of dehydration and caused the body to have no corpse spots and decay at all, so it is difficult for us to judge the accurate time of death." ”

Luan Xueping said with a sad face: "Such a mysterious and unpredictable case involves the attack on the secretary of the provincial party committee, and the most important clue has been interrupted so far." ”

Li Yunqing groaned: "It can't be said that it is completely interrupted, at least before the corpse enters the morgue to make a more scientific analysis conclusion, it can't be so arbitrary." As he spoke, he looked at Gu Tianyou and said, "I have already told you what happened last night, and now is the stage of brainstorming to find clues, we have all talked about it, how about it, do you want to talk about your thoughts too." ”

Gu Tianyou said: "I'm wondering if the murderer killed people to kill his mouth or to extract a confession?" According to the condition of the deceased, I think it is more likely to coerce a confession, first of all, we assume that the deceased is related to last night's case, and the murderer should have killed him The biggest possibility should have been to kill the mouth, but if it was just to kill someone, with the murderer's kung fu cultivation, he could even make the person die unaware, but he didn't do it, but used a more troublesome method, so I think this assumption is not valid, the murderer is not to kill the mouth, but to force a confession, if the deceased is related to last night's incident, Then the murderer is probably investigating that incident. ”

"Makes sense!" Dai Xiaolou took over and said: "This murderer is probably not directly related to last night's incident, if we want to continue to investigate last night's incident, we should not focus on the murderer of this case now, but should continue to actively look for clues, such as starting from the identity of the deceased, first comprehensively investigate the social relationship of the deceased." ”

Li Yunqing said: "We should also pay attention to the collection of all monitoring information related to the deceased, Xiao Gu judged that this person is Japanese, in order to save time, let's start from this aspect first, send two comrades to the customs to check, look for the person's entry records, and confirm the identity of the deceased!" ”

Gu Tianyou asked, "How is it recorded on the hotel check-in?" ”

Luan Xueping introduced: "This person is not a guest in the hotel, this room is a businessman surnamed Li perennial chartered, this businessman surnamed Li is a Hong Kong Islander, perennial travel between the two places to do business, this room he has been contracted for a long time, the door of the room has not been damaged, but the door card is this kind of thing in the hands of the waiter on the floor, so I personally think that the deceased was killed here is likely to be a coincidence." ”

Gu Tianyou said: "If this is the case, then the deceased should have been brought into this room by the murderer, the deceased is not simple, if he was coerced into this room, there should be some struggles along the way, so it is difficult not to leave any traces, so I still tend to believe that the deceased lived in this room, he used a regular door card to enter and exit, and after the murderer killed him, he took the door card that may be an important clue." ”

Li Yunqing said: "You mean that it is necessary to work this Hong Kong businessman surnamed Li?" ”
