Most of the corpses were handed over to the family members for burial after an inquest, but in the murder cases that occurred in recent days, the bodies were stored in the mortuary of the yamen, because the assassin knew that he had received the official document, and learned that the loyal prince Lu Jinping was going to investigate the case in person, and also knew that the prince was a master of solving the case, so the body was temporarily stored in the yamen.

Lu Jinping asked the others to stay outside the house, and he took Yunzi in to investigate the body.

Yunzi is Lu Jinping's follower, she is used to dissecting corpses, but this time it still made her really disgusted, because there were four corpses, and the head was only an empty shell, and all the brain marrow in it was stolen.

Although Yunzi had gone to Bazhou with Lu Jinping to see the terrible scene of the wife of the king and chewing up the human head, but now the horror of this corpse is different from that, it is a bloody disgust, because most of the head is gone, and this one is a kind of terrifying horror that makes people stand on end, - on the surface, the human corpse is complete, but if you look closely at the head is missing, you will find that the inside is empty, like a hollowed out coconut shell on the neck.

Lu Jinping's baby forensic investigation box, Ye Qingqing was pregnant and didn't follow, and the responsibility of carrying the forensic investigation box was handed over to Yunzi. It's just that Lu Jinping doesn't need this thing at the moment, so he will conduct a body surface examination first.

After examination, all four bodies had no other external injuries, other than an initial fatal wound to the head.

So Lu Jinping's investigation focused on the wound on his head, and he carefully examined the edge of the wound and couldn't help frowning.

He originally thought that it was unreasonable that Lin Zhoufu's wounds could not distinguish between sharp and blunt injuries, but now after reading it, he knew why he couldn't tell which type of wound it was, because the wounds of the deceased had both sharp and blunt injuries. Looking at the fractured edges of the skull, there are several sharp injuries. However, several other wounds are blunt injuries, and there are two types of injuries: sharp and blunt on the same wound.

He pondered the wound for a long time, unable to think of any weapon that could inflict such damage.

He looked at the rest of his head, but found no new injuries. The only scar is the entire skull, leaving only a small remnant of the brain parenchyma.

Lu Jinping took swabs from around the skull to see if he could find the traces left by the murderer. Subsequently, he took DNA samples from the four deceased persons for future comparison tests.

Subsequently, Lu Jinping summoned the heads of the Mingzhou Mansion, who had previously participated in the investigation of the case, to review the case, and gradually review it from the first case.

The first case occurred more than a month ago, when an old man who was on the shift found a body in an alley and reported it to the authorities. The head catcher rushed to check with the catcher, and found that the corpse's skull was gone, and the brain marrow inside was gone. The victim must have been killed on the spot. The deceased was an old man who carried a load of goods and sold supper at night. After investigation, this old man did not have any enemies, and he was kind to people, but he did not expect to suffer this catastrophe.

The second deceased was a gambler who was killed on the way home late at night after losing all his money, and his body was found in a timely manner. Because when the catcher arrived, he was still hot. But no one witnessed the whole thing, and the gambler did have some enemies, and after investigation, these enemies also had alibi.

The third deceased, an old lady who had returned from grocery shopping in the morning, was attacked in front of her home, and when his family heard a scream, she hurried out. It was found that the old lady had died tragically on the ground, the skull had been lifted, the brain marrow inside had been removed, the old man was still twitching slightly, and the murderer was gone.

Then they were investigated one by one. It was found that the identities of these deceased were different, some had enemies, and some did not, but there was one thing in common, that is, they could not find any obvious suspicion of committing the crime, and some were arrested as suspects and forced to interrogate, although they confessed, but they could not explain how they pierced their heads and took out their brains.

Lu Jinping wanted to find clues about the murderer from the case review, but after examining the entire 30-odd murder cases one by one, he found that there was no pattern at all, and no such thing as the murder weapon's footprints and handprints was found at the scene, as if the heads of these deceased had evaporated and disappeared without a trace.

He decided to focus on the swab in his hand, but he was disappointed by the results of the test, and the head swab of the corpse found no DNA from anyone else, only the deceased's own. That is, no signs of the murderer were found.

Lu Jinping thought about it for a long time, according to the previous law, basically a murder would occur in a day or two, and sometimes several cases would happen in a day, so he estimated that the murderer would still do it.

Lu Jinping divided the ten inner guards into ten groups, and led a team of yamen catchers and people strong, all dressed as ordinary people, each team was responsible for an area, and the dragnet patrol, waiting for the murderer to appear. Once the murderer is found, he will be rounded up immediately with fireworks as a name.

The plan was basically very elaborate, that is, casting a net all over the city and waiting for the fish to take the bait. The head catcher was a little dissatisfied with Lu Jinping's arrangement, he felt that if the murderer was from the city, then he still knew the arrester and Minzhuang, so that once he found out that the catcher was waiting for him with the net open, he was afraid that the murderer would not show up.

However, he didn't dare to oppose Lu Jinping's opinion, he was the prince, what kind of thing was he catching heads, and he must resolutely implement the prince's decision.

The head catcher belongs to the master commander of the guard with the highest nickname of the grass flying Ouchi. They were responsible for patrolling and squatting in this area of the northern city, and when they went home, they changed into ordinary clothes, wrapped their blades in cloth, and according to the arrangement of flying on the grass, they were each responsible for an area, and they could see each other to ensure that they would not be attacked by the enemy.

Because of the continuous terrible murders in the city, there is basically no one on the street at night, and even in broad daylight, few people come out, unless they have to buy food or other things, so the huge Linzhou City has become empty, and the original hustle and bustle is gone, and they are all driven away by this mysterious killer.

The head catcher didn't dare to say it, but he was still a little dissatisfied in his heart, so he was a little lazy to patrol the street he designated. He was in charge of the hunting, and he made sure that he could see it at every interval, pacing back and forth like a pedestrian, holding the vegetables he had bought in his hand or carrying a burden, always trying not to be alert.

At that moment, one of his men came up to him. The head catcher frowned, lowered his voice and said, "What are you doing here?" You should squat over there, in case the murderer happens to appear at your place, if you miss it, the prince will not spare you. ”

The catcher walked over with a blank face and did not speak. The head catcher wanted to reprimand him, but the catcher suddenly made a move, which was so fast that the electric light and flint were not enough to describe it, because the head catcher didn't even have time to blink, and the catcher's hand had already pierced the skull of the catcher, and pulled out the marrow in his skull and stuffed it into his mouth.

The catcher died instantly, but his body did not fall, because the catcher grabbed his clothes with his other hand, lifted him up, and his right hand continued to reach into his skull to take out the brain marrow, and took out the brain marrow and devoured it, the action was extremely fast, and in a blink of an eye, the entire skull had become an empty shell.

At the same time, the other side of the head catcher, who was in charge of monitoring, discovered this terrifying scene, and was terrified and screamed.

But there was no reaction from the attacker, until he swallowed the whole marrow of his head, and then he jumped up to the wall, pierced the wall with both hands, and climbed to the roof like a gecko, and then quickly disappeared into the night.

The catcher watched this scene in horror and kept screaming, which immediately attracted other catchers and grass flying.

Flying on the grass immediately spotted the catcher who was climbing on the wall. Flying on the grass was startled, he was also very skillful, but he couldn't use his fingers to climb up on a smooth wall that didn't have any strength to climb.

So he immediately threw out the zipline to hook the roof of the house, and flew up to the roof as light as a wild goose, and by the night, he saw a figure undulating in the distance, and the grass flew between the roofs like a bat, and soon approached the catcher who sniped and ate the brains of the headcatcher.

Catching Kuai felt someone chasing behind him, stood still, and turned to look at the grass flying.

Cao Shangfei landed lightly in front of him, and said coldly: "The so-called house thief is difficult to prevent, it turns out that the murderer is actually a fast catcher within the yamen, so quickly kneel down and be captured, lest I do it." ”

Speaking of which, the head catcher shot instantly.

Although Cao Shangfei was already alert, when the other party's lightning-fast claw grabbed his Heavenly Spirit Gai, he still felt that his speed was too slow, and he only had time to turn sideways, and that claw slashed across his head, grabbed his left shoulder, and then retracted it.

At this moment, Kusakami felt a sharp pain in his right shoulder and left shoulder. Looking down, I couldn't help but be frightened, it turned out that a large piece of flesh on my shoulder was deeply dug up by the other party, and the blood suddenly stained half of my body red.

The first light skill master of the grass flying big inner can't dodge the opponent's claw, which shows that this person's speed is so fast that it is unbelievable.

Flying on the grass knew that his martial arts were not the opponent's opponent, and immediately let out a sharp whistle, and at the same time took out fireworks and shot them into the night sky.

The catcher didn't stop it, nor did he take the opportunity to attack, but he still stood there and watched him, and after he set off the fireworks, the catcher attacked again. And this time it was grabbing at his head, so fast that he could fly on the grass, and he only had time to turn sideways, still biased to the right, so the claw tore a piece of flesh from his left shoulder along with his collarbone.

As soon as his collarbone was broken, his entire left shoulder and left arm could no longer exert his strength, and the severe pain made him almost faint on the spot.

Flying on grass knew that the other party's speed was too fast, and he was not an opponent at all, not to mention, his body had been hit twice in a row, and one hand could no longer be used, so his only choice was to escape. (To be continued.) )
