Chapter 246: Not Acquainted
"Poisoning erodes the internal organs, how do you see the brutality?" Gu Chenghan looked at Zhen Chutian puzzled.
There are too many curious things about her, Gu Chenghan wants to find out, but he finds that there is nothing he can do.
"My lord, people who are poisoned will not die directly, of course, the death process will not be too long, the murderer saw that they were in great pain, so he cruelly cut his back and took out the bones." Zhen Chutian looked at Gu Chenghan with a fixed gaze.
"You mean taking bones before you die?"
"To be precise, it should be the death process, otherwise this toxicity is so strong, he can't take all the bones away, there will definitely be bones that will be eroded and left in the body, but do you remember the autopsy done by Brother Song?"
Zhen Chutian is determined because the reality is like this.
Gu Chenghan thought of Song Jiang's words before.
Although the corpse looked like a normal person, it was all air, and when he accidentally touched the corpse, of course, Song Jiang was originally going to dissect the corpse, and the previous act was because he believed that the deceased had died of excessive blood loss, so he did nothing.
Song Jiang and Nan Hong didn't do a dissection at first, they wanted to understand all the external characteristics before they were ready to start, but during this period, they accidentally touched the corpse, or the air in the corpse was almost supported, and it was about to pour out when the time came, and then it became a pair of skins.
And there is nothing in the corpse, it is clean, only carrion, and there are no bones at all, if the bones are not taken away before death, then why can the internal organs be eroded, and part of the body is also corroded, and there is no bone residue?
This poison is not able to erode the entire body, its medicinal properties can absolutely erode organs such as the internal organs, and the effect on the flesh is not very large, according to this calculation, even if it can erode the bones, it will leave residue.
After listening to Zhen Chutian's explanation, Gu Chenghan agreed.
Then the murderer doesn't know that it's as simple as brutality.
If there is no deep hatred, but he can do this, then this person's psychology must be very abnormal.
Thinking of this, Gu Chenghan was afraid, "Will the murderer do it again?" ”
"Not anytime soon, but not necessarily, but certainly not to kill." Zhen Chutian looked at Gu Chenghan firmly.
Seeing that Gu Chenghan was a little puzzled, Zhen Chutian continued: "No matter who kills someone, as long as they kill someone, there will be a reason or opportunity, and now he has killed twelve people, and he hasn't done it again after so long, which means that the inducement that induced him to kill has not been triggered for the time being, what is this, I don't know, go and look at other crime scenes, and I will do a murderer's mental test." ”
"Okay." Gu Chenghan didn't ask Zhen Chutian.
After bringing back all the useful things in the back mountain, they went down the river to the open space where the Halloween was held.
There was also no blood in the area where the body was found, but the disorganized objects indicated that this was the scene of the first crime.
However, the dead in this place were more painful, eight corpses were lying in one place, lying horizontally and vertically, the time of death was almost the same, but their distorted faces showed the state of death before death.
It is supposed to be the death of a companion who witnessed it, was half frightened to death, and then died of poisoning.
In fact, Zhen Chutian didn't understand, even if he didn't take the bones, these people would definitely die, so why did the murderer take the bones?
I couldn't figure it out, Zhen Chutian didn't want to think about it, and then went to the ruined temple at the scene of the first crime, there was only one person here.
The ruined temple has been abandoned for many years, but some people who pass by here in the middle of the night will still choose to rest here for a while, because there is also a lot of paved grass here, and the corpse is on the grass, lying very upright.
According to the officials, when they first found out, they thought he was asleep.
Zhen Chutian looked around and determined that this person was poisoned after being stunned.
At this time, the three crime scenes had already been seen, and Zhen Chutian also had a speculation in his heart.
"My lord, go back to the yamen first and see what clues they have, so that I can find more flaws." Zhen Chutian knew that if she added the background of the deceased, she might be able to find the murderer faster.
"It's up to you." Gu Chenghan smiled at you.
Although it was just an unintentional smile, the officials saw it, they hadn't laughed much since Gu Chenghan came to the yamen, and even the officials thought that this adult from the capital couldn't laugh, and now they were a little dumbfounded when they saw him smiling like this.
Seeing the servant Mu Ne standing there looking at him, Gu Chenghan restrained his smile and was a little embarrassed, "Why don't you go quickly?" ”
"Yes, yes, sir." The official was scolded by Gu Chenghan, and suddenly came back to his senses, his body shook, and he lowered his head and didn't dare to look directly into his eyes.
Zhen Chutian saw that the official was scared like this by Gu Chenghan, and suddenly thought of his previous self.
People who don't know Gu Chenghan will really be frightened by his iron-faced and selfless face, but in fact, he is a very gentle person in his heart, but not for everyone.
Returning to them with some evidence, the prefect had already returned to the palace with the officials who had gone to investigate the eighteen.
Seeing Gu Chenghan, the prefect stepped forward quickly, "My lord, you are back, do you have any clues!" ”
The prefect looked more excited than Gu Chenghan, and couldn't stop looking at Zhen Chutian behind him, but at this time, his eyes fell on the object in the officer's hand.
"What are these?" Without waiting for Gu Chenghan to answer, the prefect came to the officer.
"Maybe it's a clue, but haven't they come back yet?" Zhen Chutian looked around and didn't see Nanhong and the others.
Therefore, the prefect bowed down and looked at Zhen Chutian, "Lord Zhen, Doctor Song, they haven't come back yet, but the official came to report that they are already on their way back." ”
"Okay, then wait for them to come back and communicate together to see if we can find the murderer." Gu Chenghan said that, and went straight into the front hall.
Zhen Chutian glanced at the prefect, and then entered the house together.
After waiting for about half an hour, Song Jiang and the others came back.
After taking their seats, the group waited for Gu Chenghan to speak.
Gu Chenghan looked at Zhen Chutian and motioned for her to speak.
Zhen Chutian came directly to everyone after understanding, "Then the prefect will talk about it first." ”
"Yes, Lord Zhen." The prefect, who had been about to move for a long time, looked at Zhen Chutian and couldn't wait to say.
The prefect has gained a lot this day, the background of those eighteen people has not been investigated according to what Zhen Chutian said, but now that he is picking up the key points to investigate, he has really found out some things.
Seeing the prefect's smiling appearance, Nan Hong couldn't help but smile, "Lord Prefect, what have you found here, why are you so happy?" ”
"Miss Nanhong laughed, but she just found out a little thing." The prefect scratched his head a little innocently.
Seeing that Gu Chenghan was a little anxious, the prefect accepted it when he saw it, "Everyone, the background of those eighteen people is actually quite simple, but there is one thing I found that may be related to the murder." ”
"Lord Prefect, if you sell Guan Zi like this again, Lord Gu will really be angry." Seeing the mysterious appearance of the prefect, Yu Linglong couldn't help but be a little anxious.
The prefect didn't turn a corner, but the evidence hadn't come yet, and at the moment when he paused, the official came back from outside.
"My lord, this is evidence."
"Okay, I'll wait for you." The prefect was a lot happier when he saw the officer.
"My lord, this is the connection between the eighteen people, these eighteen people, oh no, it's thirty people, haven't they been saved before when they saw death? The lower official has already found the man, and this is what the man handed over to the lower official. After speaking, the prefect asked the official to bring the physical evidence to Gu Chenghan.
After taking the object from the officer's hand, Gu Chenghan and Zhen Chutian took a closer look, but after reading it, the two of them suddenly became a little confused, and after thinking for a while, they suddenly realized: "They are a gang, taking people's money?" ”
"Yes, my lord, the lower officials found out that the thirty people were not so simple as not saving them when they saw death, but they conspired with the gangster, and they were supposed to shoot together, but a strange person appeared at that time, and the man appeared and beat the gangster, and these thirty people pretended to be dead and did not save them, and escaped in a catastrophe."
The prefect told him what had happened.
These thirty people put the woman's family in disregard for a few taels of silver, and they really deserve to die.
"Then who is the person who rescued the woman, and how did these thirty people escape?" Zhen Chutian frowned and looked at the prefect.
"The man said he was crazy, holding a wine jug, walking with a crutch, looking drunk, but his martial arts were extremely high, and he was good at using poison, and he killed all the other party in three or five strokes.
These thirty people turned against each other, saying that they were forced, and they didn't make a move because they didn't want to do much. ”
When the prefect talked about the matter of these 30 people, he was still a little uneasy, and he was very reluctant to put the 18 people he had just saved into prison together.
Gu Chenghan and Zhen Chutian captured the point, the person who rescued the woman, both the appearance and the wine jug were consistent with the evidence they found, it seemed that the possibility of this person being the murderer was extremely high.
"My lord, Chu Tian, did you think of something?" Nan Hong saw that Zhen Chutian and Shengqun looked at each other but didn't speak, and secretly guessed in her heart, so she said it.
"This is what I found with Master Gu at the scene of the crime." Zhen Chutian took out the wine jug and rags as he spoke.
It's rotten, but it's not rotten, it's rotten.
The same strip of cloth was found in the back mountain and the ruined temple, and they had seen that it did not belong to the deceased, so it could only be left by the murderer.
can be worthy of the famous wine pot in the capital, but he is still dressed in tatters, which makes Zhen Chutian want to know more and more who this murderer is.
It is very likely that the person who saved the person was the same person, and the prefect recalled the results of the visit, but found nothing.
"My lord, those eighteen people didn't know much about the person who saved people, at that time they only thought about running for their lives, they only knew that that person had very high martial arts skills and was good ......at drinking" The prefect looked at Gu Chenghan in frustration.
But Gu Chenghan didn't care at all, after all, he wasn't in a hurry, and looked at the prefect to signal him not to be in a hurry, "The murderer is so brutal and lawless, naturally he is not so easy to deal with, and now is not the time to mess up." ”
