Chapter Thirty-Eight: I Was Scared to Death
As Ling Lan expected, the guards saw the blood-stained soil after a few shovels, and continued to dig down to a depth of about one and a half meters, and the soil was not loose and became hard.
There were no other clues at the scene, and no skin of the bloody corpse was found, so the bloody corpse could only be brought back first.
Although the people in the criminal department have seen many terrifying and hideous corpses, it is the first time they have seen this kind of weird and numbing scalp, so they found a black cloth to wrap it well, and it also avoided scaring passers-by.
At the same time, Ling Lan came to the corner of the wall half a meter away from the bloody corpse, there were some strange paw prints here, which did not seem to have been left by cats, dogs and mice.
Ling Lan took out a pen and paper from the wooden box and wrote it down carefully.
"Where is the person who found the bloody corpse?" Ling Lan took off her mask.
"It's a groom, he has been taken back, he was patrolling the neighborhood when it was just dawn, and when he heard a noise here, he came to check, and he said that he first saw a white fox glaring at him viciously, and then he saw the scene of blurred flesh and blood, and he was frightened a lot, and he spoke incoherently." Mo Ziyu told the story.
Ling Lan lowered her eyes and looked at the paw prints on the white paper thoughtfully: "White fox? ”
Mo Ziyu nodded silently, her expression gloomy and she was not speaking.
In fact, the husband later said some nonsense, such as that it was a fox fairy who had cultivated to perfection, and why he was dissatisfied with his compatriots being skinned so he would retaliate against humans, etc., these nonsensical words were automatically ignored by him.
"Is there only one husband?" Ling Lan questioned, there were too many disorganized footprints on the ground, and she had a headache.
"The first person to find the bloody corpse was the husband, but when he reported the crime, he attracted other people to watch the excitement, but they were all scared away and destroyed the scene."
I see!
At this time, the bloody corpse had been taken away, and Ling Lan looked around and turned to leave.
On the way back, there were many people on the street, and there were many vendors who had just come out of the stalls, so the carriage did not move fast, so that the conversations of the people outside were passed into the carriage word for word.
"All the skin is gone? Don't talk nonsense to scare people. ”
"It's true, several people have seen it with their own eyes, and two of them have fainted and haven't woken up yet!"
"That's right, it's good that I didn't see it, otherwise I wouldn't have been scared to death, and I didn't dare to think about that bloody picture."
"Some people said that they saw a white fox next to the corpse, and there were blood stains on it! It is possible that the fox fairy appeared to retaliate. ”
"I've also heard that a fox coat was found a few meters away from the corpse, maybe there is any connection between it..."
Ling Lan finally understood, she raised her eyes: "There is also a fox fur coat at the scene?" ”
"Hmmm! Ye Feng was the first to find out, but he was not sure that it was the deceased, and he had already asked people to collect it and send it back. ”
In this case, it is worthy that the people will have such a ghost and god theory.
Incredible skinning, there is a strange white fox on the scene, if it is right, the paw print is the fox's, in addition to a fox fur coat...
"Don't listen to their nonsense, how can there be a fox fairy!" Mo Ziyu was displeased.
Last time, zombies were rumored to kill people outside, and this time the fox fairy came out again, and he wanted to see what other cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods.
"The world is so big that it's no wonder."
Mo Ziyu didn't seem to hear her words clearly, and frowned: "Do you believe their nonsense?" ”
"I think existence is reasonable, you can not believe it, but you have to be in awe."
Seeing that the man's expression was becoming more and more aggressive, Ling Lan realized that the other party might not be able to understand her words, and sighed in her heart thinking about it, it was indeed not suitable for such an esoteric topic at the moment.
"Let's talk about the scene, judging from the bloody footprints on the ground, the deceased did not die directly after being skinned, but walked out about three meters again."
Speaking of the case, Mo Ziyu's state suddenly changed: "I have always wanted to ask you, is there any way to skin people alive?" As far as I know, no matter how good a master is, he can't do it. ”
If it's just a part of the body, it's not difficult, and everyone won't panic like that.
But the reality is that the skin from head to toe is gone...
Compared to his doubts, Ling Lan was very calm.
"Some things don't necessarily need to be mastered, as long as you have enough brains."
————
In the morgue in the backyard of the Criminal Department, Ling Lan walked in slowly after getting ready, and Ye Feng followed behind despite hesitation.
Opening the black cloth that wrapped the bloody corpse, some places were already sticky, and Ling Lan's movements were light, as if she was afraid of hurting the corpse!
Ye Feng tried to concentrate as much as possible, while Mo Ziyu stood aside and wanted to help but didn't know how to start.
The whole process was done by Ling Lan herself, after disposing of the black cloth, she picked up a magnifying glass and bent down to check the surface of the bloody corpse, and found some inconspicuous signs of burns, after a full-body examination, there were more than one place, and the subtle traces were all over the bloody corpse.
Judging from the stiffness of the body, the deceased was killed about two hours ago, and no fatal injuries were found except for the absence of skin, and there were no other external injuries, so the cause of death is unknown.
"I need to dissect the body to determine the cause of death." She said.
Ye Feng subconsciously swallowed his saliva: "Miss Ling, isn't it fatal to be skinned?" ”
"People really can't survive without the protection of their skin, because the blood vessels will bleed and bacteria will become infected, but they won't die in such a short time." She explained in a low voice.
Mo Ziyu knew that her so-called short time meant that three meters away, and based on the previous analysis, she guessed that the blood corpse walked out of the dirt pit three meters and then fell to the ground and died, that is, a few breaths.
Because there was only a fox fur coat at the scene, the identity of the deceased could not be determined, and naturally the family could not be contacted, so Mo Ziyu made a decision and agreed to dissect it.
Ye Feng quickly took out the tools he had made and placed them on the table, adjusted his mentality and studied carefully.
The process of unplaning is very slow, and each step needs to be careful and careful, especially when the tools are imperfect and there is no equipment, Ling Lan is engrossed.
The head was fine, and then to the chest, to the heart, she had a discovery.
"Heart hemorrhage, myocardial cells are damaged to varying degrees, myocardium is mixed with many red and rose-colored blood spots, a lot of bleeding, damage to heart function..."
Ye Feng and Mo Ziyu knew what she meant by every word, but if they were together, they were blindsided.
Ye Feng still couldn't hold his breath and couldn't help but ask what it meant.
Ling Lan groaned, and whispered between her eyes: "That is to say, this person was seriously frightened, and he was scared to death." ”
Ye Feng was dumbfounded, and even suspected that he had heard it wrong.
"Ling, Miss Ling, do you mean that this person died not from being skinned, but from being overly frightened?"
Ling Lan nodded silently, the cause of death was basically correct.
At this time, Mo Ziyu said quietly: "She was skinned alive and didn't die of pain or excessive blood loss, I don't know what she can see to be scared to death alive?" ”
This is obviously incredible!
What to expect?
