Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Reappearance of Psychological Portraits
The yellow wind is long, passing through the surrounding courtyard walls, but it can't cover the blue sky overhead.
The young man looked at the bones with the blue sky above his head, and the clear sound was deafening.
"The bones were divided into more than 100 pieces, and the limbs, sternum, and spine were all cut into several pieces, but the ribs were intact."
"The bone plate of the broken bones is inverted, the bone fracture lines at both ends are obvious, and the bone at the edges is peeled off. The murderer was disguised as Xiao Zheng, and the source of the murder weapon was likely to be an axe used by the gang leader battalion to chop wood. β
"The bone fracture line at the broken bone is long, the fracture extension line is consistent with the long axis of the wound, and the bone ablation area is small."
Twilight first explained the bone examination one by one, and then analyzed and judged.
"First of all, this is not in line with the normal characteristics of the bones of homicide cases. Most murderers dissect the body to facilitate the discarding of the body, and the bones will be completely dismembered into pieces, except for the head, and there are generally no large pieces of bones left in other parts. The ribs of this corpse are well preserved, indicating that the murderer had thought of mixing the corpse into pork for cooking when he killed the person. Killing the enemy on the battlefield is to protect the family and the country, and most people will not have a psychological burden. Murder in private is a fight and murder, which violates national laws and military regulations, and most people will be afraid. Yes, it is also a matter of murder, and a fierce general who kills the enemy may not be as brave and fearless as when he kills the enemy on the battlefield. When the body was divided, there was a strategy for disposing of the body, and the murderer was smart, calm, and psychologically tolerant. β
Secondly, the bone crack line is long, indicating that the murderer split the body with great force. The lack of bone peeling shows that he is quick and decisive! The more hesitating, the less force, and the more sawdust is splattered. The strength is great, the axe is decisive, and the firewood can be chopped neatly and neatly. But this is technical, psychologically, the corpse is not chopping wood, the murderer is decisive, the body is cut into more than 100 pieces, all at one time, no slippage, no hesitation, skilled, cold-blooded. β
"The extension line of the fracture is consistent with the long axis of the wound, which means that the angle of the axe when the murderer splits the body is a vertical slash, and all the bones are cut off vertically, which is not very human, the murderer has martial arts, and he must be a master."
"In the end, the more dangerous the place, the safer, if someone goes missing and killed, even if the whole city is strictly investigated, most people will not think of investigating the General's Mansion. In this sense, the murderer is cunning. But the murderer disguised himself as Xiao Zheng, and wanted the kitchen to cook this corpse and serve it to the general's table, which can be seen to be somewhat psychopathic. β
At this point in analysis and inference, others can't hear anything, but Lu Da's face has changed!
Cunning, cold-blooded, psychopathic? Why does this sound so familiar......
Twilight glanced back at him and said, "Sound familiar?" That's right, we've met old friends, and the key evidence is here. β
She crouched down, picked up a rib, and showed everyone the joint at the front of the rib, where there was clearly a knife mark, "No matter how clever a crime is, it will leave evidence, the murderer dismembered people like pigs, and in order to remove the whole rib, he needs a knife." This knife mark, shallow at both ends and deep in the middle, is so obvious that it is semi-arc - a scimitar! β
Machete?!
This time no one could understand it anymore, the scimitar was too familiar to the Northwest soldiers.
"Hu Ren!" One of the generals had an ugly face.
"More accurate than thatβHu Yanhao." Twilight said, turning back to look at the soldier in charge of the food in the kitchen, "In addition to the murderer's temperament and the murder weapon used, the length he described is also very close to Hu Yanhao. β
"Hu Yanhao?" The general was shocked.
"That's right! It's definitely this! Lu Da said firmly.
The generals were in an uproar, Hu Yanhao appeared in the mountains of Qingzhou, and then escaped on the Hucha grassland, and no one saw him again. The spies under King Di's tent did not send back the news of his return to the king's tent, and this person disappeared, but I didn't expect to learn about him today!
He came into the city, entered the camp of the gang leader, killed people and sent the corpses to the general's mansion, and the people disappeared again?
Where will he be?
"How did Huyan Cub sneak into Guancheng?"
"How he went to Qingzhou Mountain, how he got in." As she spoke, Twilight glanced at the people in the courtyard, including the generals, the soldiers, the cooks, and the people crowded the courtyard, there were nearly forty people, and when she saw half of them, she was suddenly stunned, "Why is there one less person in your team?" β
Yuan Xiu turned around, and the generals followed Twilight's gaze and looked away, only to see that Twilight was looking at the team of soldiers who had gone out of the mansion to get people from the camp.
The group of soldiers also turned around, and the complexion of the group changed when they looked at each otherβyes, there were six of them, and there were only five of them left!
"Where is Taozi?" The leader of the pro-soldier asked.
The rest of the people looked dazed, they all listened to General Yingrui just now, and no one paid attention to the lack of a person.
"Find!" Yuan Xiudao.
The group of soldiers received the order and hurried away.
The place where Twilight Qing performed the autopsy was the door of the kitchen, everyone listened to her reasoning, they all faced the kitchen, with their backs to the gate of the courtyard, no one knew when the person left, but the person was Yuan Xiu's personal soldier, and he left without the general's order, and his behavior was very suspicious.
Twilight didn't say why she asked this person, but everyone had a bad feeling in their hearts. Seeing this young man's ability today, she would never ask anyone at random.
The team of pro-soldiers came back after a while, and their faces were even darker than when they returned to Xiao Zheng's matter, "Report to the general, the brother on duty at the gate of the mansion said that Taozi went out of the mansion, half a cup of tea!" β
"Isn't that just Fang Cai?"
"Where did you go?"
Lu Da and General Gu asked out loud at the same time, and their faces sank, and the bad premonition in their hearts was even heavier. Half an hour before the tea, isn't it time to deduce the murderer? Why don't you leave early or late, why don't you pick this time?
Xiao Zheng died, Hu Yanhao changed his appearance into Xiao Zheng, and then disappeared, and at this time, another personal soldier quietly left the house, could it be?
Lu Da and Gu Qianqi looked at Du Qing and saw that she was silent, at this time, the pro-soldier said, "Go to the east!" β
There are barracks everywhere in the city, and there is the East Gate in the east, which is the gate leading to the Xiaguan City!
"Pass my command, seal the city gates! Without my talisman and handwritten oracle, you are not allowed to leave the city. Yuan Xiu ordered, the soldiers took the order to leave, and all the generals also retreated.
Today's luncheon was originally to celebrate the title of the general of Duqing, but who knew that such a thing happened, and finally found out that Hu Yanhao was in Jialan Guancheng! This is an enemy situation, and it must not be delayed!
The generals hurriedly retreated, and even Lu Da retired, leaving only Yuan Xiu, General Gu and Qi He in the courtyard.
Only then did Twilight Qing say, "The last general has something to say, and I need to talk to the general alone." β
The study room of the General's Mansion is an important place for military aircraft, and only Yuan Xiu and General Gu Lao can enter the study on weekdays, and even Lu Da is not allowed to enter the study for half a step without a military order.
At the end of the day, the door of the study opened and closed, and Yuan Xiu sat behind the desk.
"Taozi is dead." The study is dimly lit, the military newspaper on the table is neat, the man sits in a chair, the back is lined with the map outside the gate, the ink robe is lined with the eyebrows are cold and solemn, the sunlight shines through the window, and half of the man's eyebrows fall, as if he is calm and powerful.
Xiao Zheng didn't go back after coming to Fuzhong yesterday evening to deliver food, Taozi took a shift last night, and said at the hour that he might be killed by Hu Yanhao and replaced.
He has 3,000 soldiers, everyone he knows, he can call names, remember his appearance, and he has fought for him on the battlefield. Taozi likes to hide and joke the most, but he is the most heroic one to kill the enemy on the battlefield, and he died......
Hu Yanhao killed the two most heroic soldiers of the Northwest Army!
"How did you know that Hu Yanhao had mixed into the mansion?" Yuan Xiu asked, this young man has revealed a big hidden danger for the Northwest Army today.
"I fought with Hu Yanhao, he killed three people in the Qingzhou Mountains, and the body was examined by me, I understand his temperament. When I didn't know that the murderer was him, I didn't expect him to be in the mansion, but the murderer was him, so he was likely to be in the mansion. Twilight stood across the desk and said, "It's actually very simple, just think about it according to Hu Yanhao's perverted thinking.
"The murderer wanted to send the corpse to the general's table, I couldn't figure out why he did this before, but it was easy to understand that he was Hu Yanhao. This person is brutal and perverted, he experienced darkness when he was young, born of a female slave, grew up like cattle, sheep and livestock, saved his father in exchange for King Di's care, and since then he has fought bravely, but he has been repeatedly defeated by the general, and the wound on his face is due to the general. The general was born in a wealthy family, became famous as a young man, a hero and a famous general, the light is dazzling, you have a qiΔ that he longs for but can't, he wants to destroy you, pull you into the darkness, this kind of psychology is easy to understand. He doesn't want you to eat human flesh, he wants you to eat the flesh of your soldiers. β
"Think about it, the world's famous generals, the heroes admired by the people, actually eat the flesh of the soldiers, gnaw the bones of the soldiers, and drink the meat and bone broth of the soldiers in the army. This kind of heroic dust, bright and dark things, it is so pleasant to think about. How could he not want to witness such a pleasant event? It is not so easy to kill a general in the army, but it is still possible to kill a personal soldier under the general. Since he can be disguised as Xiao Zheng, he can be disguised as the general's personal soldier. β
Hu Yanhao hid in Yuan Xiu's personal soldiers, and at the luncheon, he openly took the roast steak to Yuan Xiu's table, and then she saw through it, and even dared to watch her perform an autopsy in the general's mansion, listen to her reason about the murderer, and did not look for an opportunity to retreat until he was identified as a person, this person is really bold and arrogant.
Yuan Xiu listened silently, and the power in his eyes seemed to crack the sky in an instant, and the wind and snow were terrifying.
"That's what you're talking to me about?" When she was asked, the man's eyes seemed to have the sun melted and the snow melted, and they were slightly warm.
He is the commander of the Northwest Army, he has been guarding the northwest for ten years, and the love of life and death between the soldiers and soldiers is by no means something that Hu Yanhao can break in one fell swoop, even if she says it in front of the generals, it doesn't matter, he doesn't care about the face of Hu Yanhao's calculations!
This kid treats people coldly and hard, but he is a person of affection after all, if it weren't for this, she would not have ordered Liu Heizi to be a personal soldier, nor would she let Han Qichu and Yue Ci give up their military positions to seek the position of a personal soldier beside her.
"Nope." Twilight denied it, "I was trying to say something else. β
Yuan Xiu was stunned for a moment, and before the embarrassment arose, Twilight Qing opened his mouth.
"What I want to say is that if you want to capture Hu Yanhao, the general wants to capture Hu Yanhao, and you need to let him out of the customs first!"
When Yuan Xiu heard this, his eyes flickered, and he looked at Du Qing, who was relaxed for a moment, and then he was solemn again.
"Hu Yanhao is as cunning as a wolf, his purpose in entering Jialan Pass is definitely not just to send a plate of human flesh to the general, this is just an improvised show for him, he has something to do, that is, to get out! King Di was seriously ill, 100,000 iron horsemen withdrew to the king's tent, and the replacement of the throne was imminent. If you want to seize the throne, you need to go out of the customs first, but since the general was seriously injured King Ledan, King Di was seriously ill, and the Wuhu coalition army withdrew to the edge of the Urkut steppe, there has not been a war for more than a month. If the city is closed, Hu Yanhao can't go out of the city, in order to hide, he can only kill people and change his appearance, and replace him. β
"Has the general ever thought about how Hu Yanhao entered the customs and went deep into the mountains of Qingzhou? There must be spies in the army and Qingzhou, but Hu Yanhao's facial features are too obvious, and he can't even think of ghosts, so he can only change his appearance. I think what he used was to kill the lieutenant generals of our army and replace them with disguise. He may have captured the officers and men of our army during the battle between the two armies, and then entered the pass with our army, all the way to the northwest into Qingzhou Mountain. He disappeared after escaping from the Hucha grassland, and now it seems that he is not missing, but he does not know where to hide, killed the lieutenant general of our army, and entered the pass with the new army. β
"He didn't kill recruits, all the recruits were stationed in Shiguan City, and they couldn't leave the city without a military order. He is now in Jialan Guancheng, and he must have killed the elite troops in the northwest who came to Guancheng with the new army, and these elite troops were under the command of General Lu, so that General Lu would know if anyone was missing the night before. Since Hu Yanhao has changed his appearance as Xiao Zheng, he must abandon his previous identity, this identity will not be abandoned for too long, if a person disappears for too long, he will definitely report to General Lu, if the army is strictly investigated, it will be unfavorable to Hu Yanhao. Yesterday evening, Xiao Zheng was Hu Yanhao, Hu Yanhao loves to kill people at night, so the time when Xiao Zheng was killed should be the night before, and the people in General Nalu's camp should have disappeared the night before. β
"What I want to say is that Hu Yanhao is brutal and murderous, for more than a month, he has been hiding in the army and has never killed anyone, he has been holding back for too long, and he doesn't know when he will be able to get out, he is not used to this peace, so he wants to find some improvisational programs. It was Xiao Zheng the night before, and Taozi last night, with his mode of crime, he will kill people tonight. Today he already knows that his identity has been exposed, and he will no longer use Taozi's identity to find new prey so that he can hide. But Jialan Guancheng has an army of 100,000, who he will kill is unknown, looking for a disfigured Hu Yanhao is like looking for a needle in a haystack, if you want to find him, the only way to find him is to let him out of the city! β
There are spies in the army, and Twilight Qing doesn't know if these generals present today are reliable, so she didn't say anything about this plan to capture Yan Hao. Hu Yanhao is too cunning, if he hears the news, it will be difficult to capture him. His stay in the army is tantamount to a bomb that will detonate at any time, so it is better to release him out of the pass and solve it outside the pass.
This plan needs to be kept secret, and the fewer people who know about it, the better!
As for how to let Hu Yanhao out of the customs, that was Yuan Xiu's business, and Twilight felt that her work could be over here.
Yuan Xiu listened silently, although his mood was heavy, but when he looked at Duqing, he would always collect the killing intent of the general, and said with a faint smile: "Lu Da's gambling temperament can't be changed, for this reason, General Gu and I don't know how many times he has punished him, but he actually did it right, if it weren't for a gamble in Bianhe City, he wouldn't have gotten acquainted with you kid, and there would be fewer talents in the army!" β
Twilight was silent, and when the case was over, she was silent again.
Yuan Xiu didn't care, but said: "The city has started, the city gate is sealed, you can stay in the mansion tonight." βββ
Off topic -
Yesterday, I read the comments, and some girls said that there are too many professional terms in Qingqing, and there is a suspicion of being a joke.
I would say that there are many technical terms!
Qingqing has a high IQ and low emotional intelligence, and she will not consider whether others can understand or not. If she knows how to express herself in a way that others can understand, her emotional intelligence will not be low.
She is a professional, and in her previous life, she was either in the research room or in the dissection room, or at the scene of the crime, with few friends and low social skills. In this life, others feel unlucky, and even the neighbors don't want to do it with the father and daughter of the Twilight family, and they have no friends in life except for the autopsy and father.
This determines that although she is a person with a warm heart, her expression is cold and hard.
I also don't like to write technical terms, the information is boring, the search is time-consuming, and the speed is slowed down. But at this point in the story, the characters have their own experiences, and experiences make personalities. Qingqing speaks and does things because of her character, she is leading me away, not me writing about her, I must respect the character.
Maybe she will learn to express it slowly, but there must be a process.
