There were also prisoners who rushed out from all angles, and some escaped by forcing their way through the barbed wire. However, because of the steep surrounding mountains and the deployment of officers and soldiers to block them, only a very small number of people escaped.

Commander Wang finally calmed down, and while organizing officers and soldiers to maintain order, he also sent people to notify various checkpoints to block and intercept the escaped prisoners.

He was not in a hurry to escape the prisoners, because the prisoners who had escaped in the mountains and mountains had either died at the mouth of the beasts, or they were so hungry that they came back obediently. Of course, most of them were intercepted and captured at various checkpoints and sent back.

And what he fears most now is riots. Finally it broke out, and more than a dozen officers and soldiers were killed and wounded, all of them in the riots. The prince himself took the lead, and this stopped the violence. If not, the consequences are unimaginable. But will this be blamed on his lack of leadership, and he took off his black gauze hat, this is what he is most worried about, so he followed Lu Jinping in fear and kept making amends.

Lu Jinping asked Commander Wang to send people to persuade and persuade these prisoners, make them restrained, and return to their rooms to rest and not be allowed to come out.

The previous policy of gentleness adopted by the officers and soldiers was not too scared, but now Lu Jinping used strong suppression, and the people who took the lead in making trouble broke their hands and feet and directly subdued dozens of them, which calmed the prisoners, so they obediently returned to the prison, leaving dozens of prisoners who were unjointed and screaming in the col.

Lu Jinping asked the plum blossom guards to realign the joints for them, and then they were locked up in the stone house where they were confined, and they were locked up for a while.

Then, Lu Jinping took Xiaoxiao and Ye Qingqing to the scene where another prisoner was bitten to death.

The prisoner who was bitten to death was behind a boulder. Behind the rock is a slope to the west, and the climb up is barbed wire, and it is initially inferred that the prisoner was planning to climb the rock and then escape over the barbed wire. As a result, I happened to meet a mountain demon or a murderer here, and I was murdered.

He died in the same way as the previous eight prisoners, most of his head was gone, there were some pieces of flesh and bones scattered on the ground, and a large pool of blood showed that he had been bitten off his head alive and died.

Lu Jinping asked Xiong Zhutou to call the person who first discovered the deceased.

But this one is difficult. Because the scene was very chaotic at that time, someone suddenly shouted loudly, "Someone was bitten to death by a mountain demon!" So a riot ensued. Because the scene was very chaotic at that time, it is still difficult to determine who called and who first found out. However, Lu Jinping is not in a hurry, he wants to directly lock the suspect according to the latest murder.

Lu Jinping immediately called Commander Wang and Xiong Zhutou over, and said: "There was another murder just now, and it happened when so many people were coaxing, and it was really under the moon, but. I believe it's not a mountain demon or a beast. -- Wild beasts would not dare to come in and hurt people under the noise of so many people. It should be people. ”

"As for how this person carried out the harm, we need to find out after we get caught, and now there is a rare opportunity. You immediately go and check one by one, and see if there is blood in the corners of the mouth, especially in the teeth, or on the body, and bring them to me, whether it is a prisoner or a guard officer. All of them have to be checked. - Commander Wang, you are in charge of investigating your officers and soldiers. After the investigation, call your officers and soldiers to assist in the arrest of the prisoners. Check them one by one, and they cross each other so that they don't miss. ”

Lu Jinping's thinking is very clear, because of the murder that just happened, judging from the situation of the corpse, most of the head is mutilated. It's still left after being bitten. There were lacerations on the muscles, and the mutilated edge of the skull was also pitted, not caused by a sharp object, consistent with the marks left by the bite.

In this case, there must have been more or less traces of blood left on the mouth of the person who bit it. In particular, between the teeth or on the body, they should be caught before the evidence of the crime is destroyed.

The investigation proceeded quickly, and at the same time, Lu Jinping again extracted possible residual saliva swabs from the vicinity of the mutilated head of the prisoner who had just been bitten to death, and extracted the deceased's own blood sample for DNA comparison, confirming that the saliva remaining on the edge of the mutilated skull belonged to the same person found in the previous eight head wounds of the deceased. It is identical. That is, the person who just bit the prisoners is the same person who bit the eight prisoners to death.

After Lu Jinping's inspection, the bloodstained people who were found out were also sent over one after another, but at a glance, most of them were injured in the fight, not bitten off.

The investigation lasted for a whole night, and more than a dozen people with blood on their mouths were sent in succession. Lu Jinping conducted an investigation, but found that their DNA was inconsistent with the murderer, ruling out criminal suspicion. -- Most of the blood on the mouths of these people was caused by the beating and impact of the riot just now.

Until dawn the next day, Lu Jinping investigated all the people with blood on their bodies, but he never found the murderer with saliva on the mutilated skull that he expected to find.

By this time, the sun had risen in the east.

Under the sun, the mood of the prisoners in the entire penal camp finally stabilized, and they began to work on the rocky hill in twos and threes, beating stones.

However, after the horror of the last night's riot had been vented, and the dozens of those who had led the troubles had been locked up in a dark room, the prisoners were much more restrained, and began to knock on the stones honestly, and no one gathered together to chat in groups of three or five as before.

But Lu Jinping couldn't find the murderer during the investigation, and all the people were investigated, which made Lu Jinping very frustrated, could it be that it was not a person who caused this series of bloody cases but a mountain demon? If it's a person, why can't I find out?

When Lu Jinping was thinking about what to do, a little girl ran over, anxiously looked at the Wang Commander who had been accompanying Lu Jinping, grabbed his sleeve and shook it and said, "Dad, my mother is uncomfortable again, and she starts vomiting and diarrhea again, you should go and take a look." ”

Commander Wang frowned, shook off his daughter's hand angrily and said, "What are you panicking about?" She's an old problem, just ask Lang Zhong to take a look, my father is busy with official business, go back quickly. ”

"Lang Zhong said, this disease Lang Zhong can't be cured, the medicine prescribed before doesn't work, or sister, you go and think of a way, this time it's very powerful, I can't breathe, Lang Zhong asked me to hurry up and call you back to have a look."

Lu Jinping said to Commander Wang: "What? Your wife is here too? ”

Commander Wang hurriedly smiled and said, "Yes, we can bring our families in the penal colony, and the children are in the penal colony with me. ”

Lu Jinping said: "It's really hard here, and it should be accompanied by your family, by the way, I heard your daughter say just now that your wife is very sick and out of breath, so you have to go and see it quickly." I have nothing to do with you to take a look, I know a little bit of medical skills, maybe I can help you. ”

Commander Wang thanked him repeatedly, and took Lu Jinping, Xiaoxiao, Ye Qingqing, and the plum blossom internal guard to Commander Wang's residence.

The residence of the king was in the small col next to the penal colony, which was the small courtyard where the high-ranking officials of the penal colony lived.

Although Commander Wang scolded his daughter in his mouth and didn't want to go back to see it, he was still anxious in his heart. After Lu Jinping agreed to him to go back and accompanied him back, he immediately walked forward in three steps and two steps, and hurriedly came to the residence.

"Siniang, Siniang, how are you?" The king hurriedly walked in, opened the curtain, and heard a painful ** sound coming from the house. There was a basin on the floor, full of red and white vomit, and a sour smell permeated the room.

Lang Zhong from the penal colony stood aside with a sad face, standing with his hands down, and the two maids were busy wiping the dirt from the mouth of a middle-aged woman on the bed.

Seeing Commander Wang coming in, Lang Zhong hurriedly came up and bowed his hand and said, "General, Mrs. Zun is much more powerful this time than the previous times. Her illness became worse and worse every time, she was old and incompetent, and she could not be cured by all means. However, only after he vomited for two or three days and finished vomiting, this was fine, and it was estimated that he still ate bad things. ”

Commander Wang glared at him and said, "You said last time that she ate something bad, but she ate the same thing as us, why didn't we vomit and diarrhea?" -- It's clearly useless, and he's still making excuses here, get out, go aside! ”

Na Langzhong's face was full of shame and he stepped aside.

Lu Jinping followed and looked at the middle-aged woman lying on the bed. Seeing that she looked depressed, her eyes were staring directly at the roof. He asked, "What's going on?" Got something bad? What did Madame eat last night? ”

Commander Wang on the side had been busy suppressing the prisoners of the riot last night, and accompanied Lu Jinping to check on the prisoners who might have committed crimes one by one, so he didn't go home, and he didn't know what his wife ate, so he looked at the two maids: "Why don't you hurry up and answer the prince's question?" ”

Only then did the two maids know that the young man in front of them was actually the prince who had come to inspect the exile this time, so they hurriedly bowed down and said, "Last night, Madame ate some rice and green vegetables and tofu. I didn't even touch a bowl of chicken, saying that I had no appetite, so I didn't eat it. ”

Lu Jinping nodded, leaned over to check the vomit in the wooden basin, and found that there was a blood sample, so he couldn't help frowning.

If there is blood in the vomit, it is likely to be gastrointestinal bleeding, in which case, eating something will cause nausea and vomiting, and it is necessary to see if it is really vomiting blood or because the food is not clean and unhygienic and causes food poisoning. Therefore, Lu Jinping decided to do a test for vomiting.

So, he asked the servant to fetch two clean porcelain bottles, personally extracted some vomit, and handed them to Ye Qingqing to put away.

Lu Jinping said to Commander Wang: "I'll go back to see if Mrs. Zun has eaten something wrong, and then treat it in a targeted manner." ”

Lu Jinping did not say that Commander Wang's wife had internal bleeding in her digestive tract, and he didn't want to cause the other party to panic before he was diagnosed. (To be continued.) )
