Commander Wang led the leader with Lu Jinping and his party to the exile center.

Because this area is a dense primeval forest, although the felons who were exiled here were monitored by soldiers, they basically did not think of escaping, because they could not escape. If you enter the primeval forest alone, there is only a dead end. Therefore, there were not many soldiers guarding before, but since the murder, the vigilance here has been strengthened, and a large number of soldiers can be seen deployed nearby.

The place of exile was in a col, and all the passages on the surrounding slopes were guarded by soldiers and pulled with barbed wire.

Walking up the mountain, you will see a large stone at the labor site under the mountainside where the exile is located. One by one, the exiles clanged and pounded the stones, or carried the rubble away.

But at this moment, many prisoners did not work, but sat there talking in groups of three or five. The overseer in charge of monitoring in the distance did not come up and whipped as before, and repeatedly turned a blind eye.

Lu Jinping already knew that this was because these people showed signs of rioting, and in order to appease them, he did not force them to work, so as not to provoke them too much.

Seeing this scene, Lu Jinping knew how much pressure this series of tragedies caused in the hearts of these prisoners. Indeed, if a place is haunted, and one after another is devoured by supernatural forces that resemble mountain demons, and most of the heads are bitten off, the huge pressure on the psychology of these people can be imagined, and no one will find a way to survive, either fleeing or rioting en masse.

These thousands of prisoners are like a volcano about to erupt, and they are equivalent to coming to the crater.

Lu Jinping said to Commander Wang: "You take us to the scene of the murder case to have a look, and then I will go to see the corpse." Has the body been buried? ”

"The front ones have been buried, and the last one is parked in the mortuary because it was just killed, and it was too late to bury it."

"That's just right. Don't bother, once buried, it can cause damage to the body. It's best to keep it as it is. It is more accurate to determine how the injury was caused. ”

The king hastened to agree. According to Lu Jinping's request, Lu Jinping and the others were first brought to the scene of the recent murder.

Because the most recent scene is most likely to leave useful clues.

The place where the murder occurred was the prison where the prisoner lived, and the whole penal colony was a large prison, so the prison cells inside were not like ordinary prisons. It's just an ordinary row of bungalows. Each house is home to a dozen or so people.

The body was found in the grass next to a latrine about ten steps away from the bungalow where the nearest row of prisoners lived.

The king pointed and gestured, and the body was lying on its back in the grass, and its head was covered in blood. Most of the entire head was gnawed off, including the skull, which was bitten to pieces. It's really shocking to hear. There were some debris and minced flesh on the ground, and a puddle of blood soaked the grass and the loess on the ground.

The person who was bitten to death was a prisoner. It was night, and after he had fallen asleep, the man got up and went up to the hut, and never came back.

There was something strange about the prisoners who were good friends with him. He went out to look for it, but saw the body next to the latrine, and screamed in fright.

The commander rushed to inspect and found that the corpse had been bitten on the head by something unknown.

At that time, there were not many soldiers in charge of guarding, and they also checked the barbed wire fence pulled up on the mountain, but there was no trace of damage to the barbed wire, but some of these barbed wire fences were due to the mountainous terrain. There are still gaps to get into.

After listening to his introduction, Lu Jinping squatted down to check the corpse. as well as the situation in the vicinity. However, because these commanders did not have the awareness to protect the scene, the scene was not cordoned off and guarded, but because they were afraid that the prisoners would see the scene of the murder, they would stimulate their emotions and ask people to wash them with clean water. The bloodstained dirt and grass were dug up and transported to other places to be buried.

In addition, this is a latrine, and there are often people coming and going, so the scene has been completely destroyed, and there are no useful clues left. Even the original appearance of that time no longer exists.

Lu Jinping only shook his head with a wry smile, and he asked the commander to take them to the scene of the remaining murders. Without exception, all the sites were destroyed.

When Lu Jinping first came into contact with this case, he didn't believe that it was done by a beast. Because there are many people in the penal camp, it is unlikely that a wild beast will sneak into the penal center and bite people to death.

It is also unlikely that no one saw the beast that came in. The most important thing is that the beast bites off half of the human head, what does it do? If it was hungry, it would have eaten corpses, not just bitten off its head.

However, from the reported situation, the body showed no signs of being eaten on other parts of the body, except for the head that was mostly bitten and bitten off.

So Lu Jinping still decided to solve it as a murder case. The perpetrators of these eight murders are still locked on people, not animals.

After seeing the scene of the murder, Lu Jinping had the impression that the places where the murders occurred were relatively remote, and they all happened at night. There was no one else nearby.

When it was found, the body was already bloody, and most of the head had been bitten off, which was the case without exception, indicating that the attacker was very clear about the target of the attack, and also very clear about the environment, and made full use of the relatively remote place to commit the crime.

Therefore, judging from the on-site investigation, Lu Jinping locked the suspects on the insiders of the exile center, including the prisoners themselves.

However, this range is still too large, because there are thousands of prisoners alone. Therefore, the scope of detection must be further narrowed.

After watching the scene, Lu Jinping came to the temporary mortuary in the penal colony. This is where the bodies are stored. The bodies of prisoners who died of serious illness or accidents were often stored in penal colonies.

The eight bitten corpses were also stored here, and now the last body of the victim is placed.

The corpse was placed directly on the ground, not even covered with a white cloth, and just placed on its back facing the sky.

Lu Jinping walked over to the corpse and squatted down to carefully observe the deceased's head. -- I can't call it a head anymore, because most of the head of the face is missing, and only a skull in the back of the head remains, and there is still some brain tissue left, so it looks like a person without a head, and it is quite scary to look at.

Judging by the mutilated edges of the head, it is clear that it is consistent with the marks of a beast's bite. Unlike a knife cut, the edge of the wound is rough and lacerations.

Xiaoxiao didn't come in, and took the plum blossom internal guard to guard nearby, and only Li Qingqing followed up, carrying the forensic investigation box of Lu Jinping.

Lu Jinping let everyone exit the room, closed the door, and Ye Qingqing guarded the door, and then opened the forensic investigation box and wiped the edge of the mutilated part of the head with a homemade cotton swab.

His aim, of course, needed to determine whether it was the animal or something that caused the wounds.

The edge of the wound is consistent with the characteristics of the bite, and the biter may leave saliva and other bodily fluids on the edge, which is a key basis for determining whether the perpetrator is a human or animal, and if so, who actually committed the act.

After the swab was extracted, Lu Jinping immediately took a DNA test.

The results came out quickly, and to Lu Jinping's stunned, his judgment was correct. Bodily fluids extracted from the edge of the corpse's head revealed human DNA. After comparing it with the DNA of the deceased, it is ruled out that the deceased left behind it and that it was left by someone else.

But now the problem arises, if it is really a person who bites a head like this, it is too unbelievable, because although the bite force of the human mouth is very strong, it is no problem to bite off the muscles of the face, but if you want to bite the hard skull, it is simply impossible.

In addition, the open mouth of a human is not wide enough to bite a human skull, unless the open mouth of a tiger is large enough to perform such an act.

So if it was a case done by a person, it would be incomprehensible from the perspective of the biological attributes of the person itself, but Lu Jinping still decided to find the person with the body fluids remaining on the corpse first, and then I will solve the mystery in my heart when the real murderer is found.

What Lu Jinping also needs to confirm is whether the other corpses are the same as this one and whether they were carried out by the same person, so he decided to open the coffin for an autopsy.

The bodies were buried in a centralized cemetery not far from the penal colony, where the dead were buried.

At the same time, Lu Jinping arranged for Wang Zhutou to do another thing with the arrester, that is, to conduct a thorough investigation, that is, to investigate the respective positions of the people near the scene at the time of the crime, to see if there is any alibi evidence, so as to delineate the suspect.

While Wang Zhutou led people to investigate, Lu Jinping came to the graves of the seven dead victims.

The seven new graves were lined up in a row, conspicuous in the mound, and there were no tombstones on them, because the exiles died in the local area, and the bodies could not be transported back to their hometowns, so they had to be buried on the spot, and no one came to pay their respects. So there is no need to erect a monument.

But fortunately, these seven bodies were all newly buried, and there were no other people who died during this period, so they would not be messed up.

Lu Jinping instructed the king to tell the prisoners to dig up the graves, and although the weather was still relatively hot, the corpses buried under the ground would decay much more slowly than if they were exposed to the air. The bodies are largely not fully decomposed, especially if they have been newly buried.

What made Lu Jinping feel relieved was that it was this king who led the bureaucrats and did not treat the exiled people as human beings, but made the corpses better preserved. Because none of these corpses were coffins, nor were they washed, but they remained in their original appearance.

Seven corpses were dug up and placed on the ground, and Lu Jinping paid attention to them. It was found that the deceased's head was mostly defective, and it was all the face and the top of the head, only the back of the head remained. Obviously, the killer attacked head-on, biting off most of the deceased's head.

Lu Jinping separately extracted swabs from the edges of the mutilated parts of the heads of the seven corpses. (To be continued.) )
