Chapter Eighty-Five: Strange Corpses
I was puzzled by the conclusion of the iron donkey, and asked him to explain it in detail. The iron donkey was crouching in front of a row of footprints. The footprints came from a distance, and the end was at the feet of the dead old man, and it was clear that the footprints belonged to him.
The iron donkey beckoned me to me, pointed to the footprints, and said, "See? The footprints left by normal people, the center of gravity is forward, the more sensitive the body, the more obvious the trend of moving forward, and then look at this footprint, basically all the heels land first, and the heels are exerting strength, what does it mean? ”
I see, the iron donkey thinks that things are not simple, and this is what this thing refers to. I really didn't think there was anything, and I replied to the iron donkey, "Brother donkey, why are you stupid?" It's the old man who died, isn't it right to focus on the back? ”
The iron donkey didn't care about being poor with me, looked up at me very seriously, shook his head and pointed to the old man's corpse and said, "He is old, but not old enough, you can understand by looking at his body and bones, he will never come out of such a 'weak' pace." ”
I know that Iron Donkey is an expert in mark identification, and since I am so sure, this conclusion can hardly be wrong. But in this way, the conclusion of the iron donkey contradicts the actual situation.
I asked him again, "But what does it mean that an old man can leave such footprints?" ”
The iron donkey had a guess that the old man had been carried over in a semi-unconscious. This man committed murder again, killed the old man, and left alone.
I thought it was incredible, because there was going to be another murderer, why didn't I feel it at the time? Although he is hiding in a tent, his ears are not so deaf and his perception is not so bad, and he will always find clues. In addition, I looked near the old man's footprints, but I found no other footprints.
These two questions also make the iron donkey's guess a little contradictory.
The two of us muttered again and tried to analyze it, when a ray of light appeared on the Sea King, which was emitted by a flashlight.
The Sea King is a full 100 meters away from the coast, and we don't have a mobile phone, so if we want to contact from a distance, we use flashlights. And at such a late hour, a flashlight light appeared on the side of the Sea King, they must have noticed something.
The iron donkey and I hurriedly shot the flashlight back and talked to the Sea King. The flashlight over there lit up three times intermittently, which is also a code, asking us, did we encounter something wrong?
If I shoot back three times intermittently, it means everything is fine, but I only shoot back twice to tell them that there is something wrong with this side.
Not long after, a rubber boat appeared on the sea, and it was the evil king.
Iron Donkey and I left the old man's body alone and went to the beach to meet him. When the rubber boat docked, the evil king came up and said that he had been walking around the Sea King to check the condition of disembarkation, and when he saw that there was light on the shore, it seemed that I and the iron donkey were not sleeping, so he asked with a flashlight.
Then he frowned and changed the subject and asked, "What happened?" ”
Iron Donkey and I took him to the old man's corpse, and I also told him about the strange phenomenon I had just encountered, and Iron Donkey told him his analysis.
The Evil King listened carefully and performed an autopsy using his method, but then he only took a preliminary look at the footprints, then returned to the corpse and crouched down.
He wasn't thinking about the cause of death of the body, but after a short while, he sighed and asked another thing, "How do we clear the suspicion?" ”
I really hadn't thought about it, and as soon as he finished speaking, I was surprised at first, and I said that there was nothing wrong with this? We didn't kill anyone, what are we afraid of? But after a second turn of my mind, I came back to my senses.
I looked at each other with the iron donkey, and we both scolded together very tacitly, "! ”
I crouched down next to the Evil Lord and looked at the dead bodies, especially the wounds on their necks. This wound will only let people know that it was cut by a sharp weapon, but further down, it is difficult to see what kind of sharp weapon it is.
If I had made some efforts to study the wound angle and wall, or even do some mechanical testing and bloodstain analysis, I might have made further discoveries. But it's not very useful.
I believe that by the morning of tomorrow at the latest, some islanders will find that the old man is missing, and they will definitely find the old man dead here, especially in my tent.
Iron Donkey and I hung out four sets of gifts yesterday, including a sharp short axe, and even a dagger hanging from the iron donkey's waist, which was also seen by the islanders.
They contacted the place where the deceased died, and we had the conditions to commit the crime, so they must have thought that we killed the person.
Even if I put in the hard work to study and say some scientific autopsy theory, can these islanders believe it? I'm sure I'm quibbling.
My head is big. The iron donkey stared at the tent and was silent for a while and said, "We're really fucking unlucky, we have to help the islanders solve the case and clear the suspicion." ”
I nodded helplessly, and I also felt that this was the best way, or the best way.
The name of the evil king is not wrong, he came up evil, waved his hand and said no, and when we looked at him, he snorted and said, "The poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people, let's reason with them, it won't work!" If you help solve the case, first, you will work hard, and second, they will not agree to do it, or if you get angry, you may cut us directly, and I will not do this loss-making business. ”
I vaguely caught the meaning of the evil king, and before I could ask, the evil king pointed to the dead body of the old man and said, "The old man is most annoyed by being talked about in his life, and he is even more annoyed by being framed, in this case, let's do something inauthentic, do it together, throw the dead body into the sea, don't sleep on the shore, take the tent and go on the boat together, Ming'er and wait for the little ginger and the old cat to come back, let's set sail and leave, who cares about the old man and who is not wronged." ”
I have to admit that this method is quite convenient, and with me and the iron donkey here, it is not so difficult to clean up the blood stains and traces here.
It's just that I have a lot of energy in my heart, and a voice keeps reminding me that it's not good to do this.
The iron donkey and I didn't say a word, and the evil king didn't rush to force us both, he picked up the dead body and walked into the sea, where one was about to throw the body.
I wanted to stop him, but I was a little entangled, and after such a delay, there was trouble again.
I heard the sound of gongs in the distance, first very quietly, then more and more, and I looked from afar, where the islanders lived, and the lights of the houses were turned on one after another.
I chuckled in my heart, and I said I can't do it, right? They found out that the old man was gone so quickly?
The evil king and the iron donkey also looked at each other like this, and the evil king was a little anxious now, so he shouted to the two of us, hurry up and do what he said.
I moved like an iron donkey.
After the evil king threw the dead body into the sea, he swished back, and he told us to continue to deal with the blood stains and collect the tents, and he went to the village to have a look, and then came back later.
I knew that with the Evil King's skills, there was nothing wrong with finding out the news, so I wasn't too worried.
But not long after the evil king went, less than a quarter of an hour, he appeared out of the woods again, not only him, but also two people beside him.
Based on their running speed and posture, I vaguely recognized that it was Jiang Shaoyan and the old cat.
I thought to myself, why did they come back in the middle of the night? Of course, I wouldn't be foolish enough to think that the murder had something to do with them.
The Iron Donkey and I tried to wait to meet them, but it didn't work, and they didn't run long before a fire appeared behind them, and the islanders chased after them.
I sighed in my heart, and my heart was finished, last time Jiang Shaoyan provoked the islanders on the other side, because of stealing, this time he provoked the islanders on this side, and this transit island is impossible to stay.
I'm a little biased towards the idea of the evil king, I think more things are better than less things, we have a ship, let's go away. And with this thought, I looked at the sea again, which was the place where the evil king threw his body.
I believe I was right, and suddenly, a man appeared on the surface of the sea. He was half exposed above the sea, and he didn't see any use for it, and he swooped towards the shore again.
I was frightened for a while, because if I looked closely, he tilted his head, and his neck was red, all of which was blood, who else could it be if it wasn't the dead old man?
I screamed, and quickly pulled the iron donkey so that he could take a look.
When the iron donkey saw it, he gasped, and said, "His grandmother's, why is it so evil?" Don't say he's not dead, I don't believe it! ”
I didn't believe it, and even I bet that the old man was still alive, and I screwed my head off and kicked it as a ball for the child.
We didn't have time or dare to get close to see what was going on, but the old man finally staggered to the shallow water, and then he went limp, and lay down.
His body was soaked in water, and he could see it with just a dozen eyes.
I said okay, wow, aside, such a strange incident, this old thing is relying on us people.
