Chapter 12 The deceased is General Chen

Lingquan, the diameter is only about five or six meters, the spring water is crystal clear and extends to the bottom of the mountain to become a mountain stream.

Legend has it that someone who saw the mountain god here and made a wish for the spring water to make his wishes come true, hence the name Lingquan. Ye Feng said that in the past, there were often people who were not afraid of hard work and climbed the mountain to make a wish, but later thought that if it didn't work, there would be fewer people.

Why did General Chen come here? Does he want to make a wish?

The spring is surrounded by a wetland with few fallen leaves and branches, leaving clear footprints on the dirt surface when people walk by.

Tianyi said that he was the only one who had ever approached General Chen's body, and there were only footprints of him and the deceased General Chen at the scene.

So, the question arises.

"Could it be that General Chen fled here alone after being attacked by an unknown creature?" Ye Feng scratched his head with his hand, very incomprehensible.

By unidentified creatures, he means zombies!

After speaking, he was a little embarrassed to find that no one was paying attention to Ye Feng, and he accidentally found that Ling Lan was squatting on the ground to check something, and quickly got up and walked to the next place.

"Miss Ling, have you found anything?" He hurriedly walked over.

Ling Lan, who was thinking about it, looked at him stunned, and then her gaze swept over him and landed on his feet.

"I'll take a few steps and I'll see."

Although Ye Feng was puzzled, he still cooperated and took a few steps.

Ling Lan, who was squatting, moved in small steps to the vicinity of Ye Feng's footprints, and sure enough, this was the case.

Mo Ziyu was inspecting General Chen's body, and when he saw Ling Lan squatting on the ground instead of approaching, he turned around and walked over.

At the same time, Ye Feng was also puzzled, Ling Lan did not answer directly, but raised his hand and pointed to the two footprints to let him find out what was the difference.

Ye Fengzai observed carefully and very seriously: "The size is different, and there is also the depth." ”

Ling Lan's eyes flashed with approval, and she nodded slightly: "That's right, then what do you think this can mean?" ”

Ye Feng frowned and thought seriously, thought about it and re-observed his and General Chen's footprints.

"My weight is lighter than that of General Chen, so the footprints are relatively shallow." Many thoughts flashed through his mind, but for a while he couldn't say anything else, so he could only tell the truth.

"You're half right."

After a pause, Ling Lan raised her hand and pointed: "You see, these footprints are slightly deeper at the soles of the feet, and the toe positions are expanded to varying degrees, indicating that the person walking is not stable and struggling in the process of walking, and his body stumbles forward." ”

Ye Feng was surprised, and quickly took out a pen and paper to record.

Mo Ziyu, who was parked nearby, was also staring at a few footprints on the ground, he knew that what Ling Lan said was right, this was common sense, but few people could react immediately.

At this time, Ling Lan suddenly got up: "Judging from General Chen's height and weight, the footprints he left are wrong, and an experiment is needed." ”

Ye Feng hurriedly put away the pen and paper, and after a few breaths, he asked blankly: "What is the experiment?" ”

Forehead!

Ling Lan chose to pretend to be stupid, and strode towards General Chen's corpse with a special mask and gloves: "Autopsy first." ”

General Chen had the same blood hole in his neck as the previous two corpses, a dark red, blue collar was wet with blood, and judging from the blood stains and limb stalemate, the time of death was no more than four hours, that is, two hours.

An hour before he received Orion's report, he could see General Chen's bruised and pale face in the direction he came, so he confirmed the identity of the deceased before he reached the vicinity.

Under normal circumstances, he would have asked people to bring the body back, but seeing that it was General Chen who knew the seriousness of the matter, he immediately asked people to go back and report to Master Mo.

There was no rosin on General Chen's body, only a strong smell of blood, Ling Lan took a deep breath, and a trace of confusion flashed in her eyes, and there seemed to be other smells.

Ye Feng took the first step to untie General Chen's shirt, and saw that there was a whitish skin on his chest that was different from the surrounding skin, except that there was a clear swelling on the left side of his chest, and there were no other body surface injuries.

"This time, it's still poisoning?" Mo Ziyu asked.

Ling Lan shook her head slightly: "The deceased has obvious bleeding spots in his eyelids, and his lips and nails are bruised, which is a significant symbol of death by suffocation. ”

"Suffocation?" Mo Ziyu repeated, with a little doubt.

Although General Chen is not young, he still has the skills to practice martial arts for many years, and it is impossible for him to be killed casually.

"Miss Ling, there are no marks on this neck, why do you say it is suffocation?" Ye Feng observed and asked in a low voice.

Ling Lan helped the deceased put on his clothes again, which was her silent respect for the corpse.

"The most common death by suffocation is to strangle the neck with a rope, or choke it with both hands, it will leave bruising marks, in addition to covering the mouth and nose, compressing the chest and abdomen, toxic gases and so on!"

After hearing this, Ye Feng cautiously reached out to check General Chen's mouth and nose: "I used to check a case when I was helping my father, the deceased was covered to death with a palm, and there were different degrees of damage in the mouth. But you see, General Chen's mouth and nose were not damaged. ”

Ling Lan looked at Ye Feng and found that he was really smart and reacted quickly, I heard that he had not been doing this business for a long time, and he would definitely be able to become a great tool in time.

"You, what are you watching me do? Am I mistaken? ”

Ling Lan shook her head: "No, what you said is very right, we have to observe more in this business, we can't miss the slightest detail, and if you don't understand, you have to ask, this is a good habit." ”

As she spoke, she stood up: "Pressing the mouth and nose directly with the palm of your hand will cause damage to the mouth and nose cavity, which is inevitable, but if you use a soft object to pad, it will be different." ”

Ye Feng's eyes flashed with brilliance, and he hurriedly took out a pen and paper to record, this is all valuable knowledge.

"So, the cause of General Chen's death is different from the previous two corpses?" Mo Ziyu put forward the key points.

If it's different, then why are there two blood holes in the neck?

"I'm not sure at the moment, let's go back and talk about it after verifying."

Ling Lan said as she approached Mo Ziyu and whispered a few words in his ear.

Soon, Mo Ziyu found a person of similar height and weight to General Chen to walk on the ground, with different steps and postures.

A moment later, several people crouched on the ground to examine several sets of footprints.

Ye Feng: "It's strange, Ah Qiang and General Chen are basically the same height and weight, why aren't all his footprints so deep?" ”

Tianyi: "Could it be because of General Chen's deep internal strength?" ”

Hearing his words, Mo Ziyu looked over: "If you say it, it should be that the footprints left by General Chen are relatively light, which person who practices martial arts has you seen walk with all his strength?" ”

Tianyi smiled reluctantly and put forward an idea: "My lord, you are talking about a normal person who practices martial arts, General Chen should have been seriously injured when he came here, so he stumbled very hard. ”

At this time, Ling Lan looked at the footprints left by Ye Feng two quarters of an hour ago, and there was basically no change.

She asked Tianyi to re-examine General Chen's footprints to see if they were different from the first time he had seen them.

Tianyi shook his head very definitely, indicating no.

"Do you have an idea?" Mo Ziyu seemed to see her thoughts and strode closer.
