Chapter 259: Mountain Demon
Then, he briefly examined the other parts of the body, and sure enough, no external injuries were found. No resistance injuries were found on the body's arms, etc.
Judging from these circumstances, there is one thing that makes Lu Jinping wonder in his heart, because the deceased did not resist the injury, which means that he died instantly, and he died instantly. If you want to bite off most of your head in one bite, it is no problem for fierce beasts such as tigers and bears, but what about people? No matter how open a person's mouth is, it is not enough to bite off most of a person's head.
Lu Jinping returned to the mortuary and performed a DNA test on the swab taken from the corpse. As a result, as before, human DNA was also detected. Moreover, after comparing it with the DNA of the deceased, it was determined that the same person had bitten him to death.
Lu Jinping decided to catch the murderer as soon as possible, maybe after he caught him, he would be able to solve the confusion in his heart, and know how he bit off most of the deceased's head in one bite, without letting the deceased have any resistance injuries.
Of course, there are other possibilities for the other party to not resist the injury, except for biting off the other party's head in one bite. For example, if a person with strong martial arts controls the opponent, the opponent has no room for resistance. This may explain why the other person did not resist the injury, but it cannot explain how the person's mouth bites most of the head into the mouth and bites it in one bite.
Lu Jinping returned to the penal colony after surveying the seven people, and the hunting led by Xiong Zhutou almost completed the surrounding investigation, although this kind of investigation involves more people, but it is very simple, because they live in a Chase shop, one person gets up at night, and everyone else can almost know, and whether the other people are out or not, they can almost all know.
The location of the lost person and the people in the nearby prisoner's cell can prove to each other that only the deceased went out at that time. The others did not leave, but later found that they did not return, so they were in a hurry, and when they went out to look for it, they were all several people who went together, and they could testify to each other.
And several of these eight people were killed in the latrine. A few were killed on the way back. Beihai was single.
After Xiong Zhutou reported the situation of their investigation, he whispered to Lu Jinping worriedly: "Lord Wang, if it is said that it will not be broken for a while, we should leave here as soon as possible." For the safety of the prince. ”
Lu Jinping's heart sank and said, "Have you found anything?" ”
"Yes, we found that these exiles were very emotional, saying that they were mining stones here, which alarmed the mountain demons, so the mountain demons punished them. If they continue to do so. More people will die. Therefore, they insisted that the penal colony be converted, and that it was no longer in this place. However, of course, this is not something that the king can decide, nor can the assassin Shi decide. When we investigated, we felt that these prisoners were unusually emotional, like a pot of oil, as long as even a drop of water was poured in. It will explode. Once thousands of prisoners rioted, it was terrible. ”
Lu Jinping nodded and said, "I feel it too." However, we must catch the murderer as soon as possible in order to quell the riots that may break out. ”
The bear catcher said, "Has the suspect been found?" ”
"There is a preliminary idea. You immediately coordinate with Commander Wang and ask him to get rid of all the people in the penal colony who know martial arts one by one, and the kind of people whose martial arts skills are good enough to be able to restrain the other party with one move. Of course. Officers and soldiers who arrived after the murder could be temporarily excluded and mainly focused on the investigation of the guards and officers. Once confirmed, take their intraoral mucosal test strips and send them to me. ”
Xiong Zhutou has followed Lu Jinping to solve the case for so long, and he has some understanding of Lu Jinping's method of solving the case. He has seen and helped Jinping extract oral swabs, so he is familiar with it. Although he didn't know what Lu Jinping wanted these things to do, he knew that Lu Jinping had magical Taoism and could successfully solve the case, maybe these were used for Taoism, and he didn't dare to ask more.
The detection is really over, because it is almost dark.
Lu Jinping and the others lived in a post house in the penal colony. Of course, the conditions here can't be compared with Bazhou, but in order to appease Lu Jinping, Commander Wang still organized the prisoners to clean up, and took some of the things that were good in his house to the post station for Lu Jinping to use, so it was not bad.
It was dark, and Commander Wang had originally set up a banquet to entertain Lu Jinping, but Lu Jinping ordered it to be canceled, and asked him to fully cooperate with Xiong Zhutou to lock down the suspect, delineate the scope of the suspect, and deliver the meal directly to his own room.
Xiaoxiao also took the plum blossom guard to live in the room next to Lu Jinping, of course, guards were arranged in front of and behind the house.
Although Xiaoxiao and Lu Jinping had a skin-to-skin relationship on the top of the cliff, they still couldn't be together at this time, so he didn't come to Lu Jinping's room, but still lived next door to him.
There were only two in Lu Jinping's house, him and Ye Qingqing.
Ye Qingqing and Lu Jinping sat at the table to eat, and Ye Qingqing whispered, "Is the murderer really a human being?" I always felt that something was wrong. How can a man's mouth bite a skull? The skull is so hard. ”
Ye Qingqing's question asked the key to this case, Lu Jinping stopped his chopsticks, stared at him and said, "Your martial arts are good, you help me think about it, what is the way for a person to crush a person's skull?" For example, you, your martial arts should already be quite good, can you bite a human skull? ”
Ye Qingqing gave him a roll of his eyes and said, "Compare me to such a disgusting thing, ignore you." ”
said that he ignored it, but Ye Qingqing tilted his head and was thinking, and said after a while: "I can't do it, let alone a human skull, it's just an ordinary pig bone and cow bone, when you bite into the bone when you eat meat, your teeth hurt, but the bones don't have anything at all." If you can bite a human skull, then aren't pig bones and cow bones easily bitten into pieces? I can't bite the femoral head of a cow or sheep, so at least I can't bite a person's bone, and I don't know if others have the ability to do it. ”
Lu Jinping thought for a while, then suddenly stood up and said, "By the way, I should ask Xiaoxiao to see if a top master like her has this ability." ”
Ye Qingqing said: "Okay, how many masters like her are there in the world?" If there was someone like him, how could he squat in this deserted penal colony, it would not have been out long ago. ”
Lu Jinping patted his head and said, "You're right, why am I stupid." If you are really a super-first-class master, you can't stay here honestly. Besides, even if Xiaoxiao can bite bones with her teeth, her mouth can't be so wide and bite people's skulls, you must know that people's skulls are round and big, and a mouth can't bite down. ”
"That's it, so there's no need to ask, it must have been made by the mountain demon."
"Mountain Demon?"
"yes, when I heard about this earlier, I was thinking of the mountain demon. - In the capital before, I heard Su Sanmei say that there were mountain demons in their hometown, and they often came to the village to bite pigs and cows to death, and they also bit people to death, but they didn't eat them, which is the same situation here. He bit off most of his head, but the flesh on his body didn't move. This kind of mountain demon only comes to punish people, not to eat meat. ”
Lu Jinping's heart moved, and he said in a low voice: "Su Sanmei said that there are mountain demons in their hometown that eat people? ”
"Yes, I used to hear her talk about it, and I thought it was fun, but now I believe that what she said is true, there are really mountain demons."
Lu Jinping was full of interest and hurriedly said, "What did the third sister say?" You say the original words, in as much detail as possible. ”
Ye Qingqing tilted his head and thought for a moment and said, "It's that he just came, and we were chatting and laying out some things when we were young." She said that the most terrible thing she encountered when she was a child was the mountain demon. When they came to their villages, they bit pigs and cows and people, and they killed them but they did not eat. The head is bitten to the ground. There were no footprints on the ground, because the mountain demons had come from the clouds. No one has ever seen the mountain demon, and everyone who saw the mountain demon died. ”
"She said it was when she was a kid, not recently?"
"yes, when he was a kid. He said that this was the year that happened, and then the mountain demon never came again. Because, the people in their village killed pigs and sheep to worship the mountain demon, and also found two clean virgins to sacrifice to the mountain demon, and threw them into a cave on the mountain that is said to be infested by the mountain demon, and the mountain demon has not appeared since then. This method is very clever, Lord Wang, do you want us to try it too? ”
Lu Jinping smiled: "Of course, there is no problem with killing cattle and sheep for sacrifices, but it is a crime to send two clean virgins to the cave, and it is a matter of harming nature and reason." Do you think I can do it? ”
Ye Qingqing smiled wryly and said, "That's right." ”
Lu Jinping held the chopsticks but forgot to eat, and said: "You didn't say it earlier, otherwise I could have asked the third sister well, and I didn't bring her this time, but what she said when she was a child may not be true, maybe it's just a beast, mistaken for a mountain demon." ”
Ye Qingqing shook her head and said: "No, the third sister said that she saw it very clearly, she was already seven or eight years old at the time, and there were still a few people in the village who were bitten to death, she went to see the lively ones, it was really half of her head that was bitten off, and the bones were bitten to the point that only scum remained, it was terrible, she always remembered it vividly." ”
"There are many beasts that can bite human heads, and beasts may not leave footprints, maybe they are just made by beasts, not some mountain demons? How can there be a mountain demon in this world? ”
"At first, the people in the third sister and their village also thought so, so they invited the hunter to wait in the village, wanting to catch this beast. However, these hunters, who could have been squatting for days and nights to guard their prey, do not know what was going on, but this time they fell asleep, and several hunters fell asleep together. When I woke up, someone in the village was bitten to death again, and the people who were bitten to death were all single, and there was no one around. More than half of his head was bitten off, but no traces were found on his body. And strangely, one of them was bitten to death at home with the door closed. There are no signs of damage to the doors and windows. You say it's not a mountain demon, can a beast pass through a wall? (To be continued.) )
