Volume 2: The Red Lotus Case of the Ancient Temple Chapter 44: The Cause of Death and the Woman

"Old Punishment, can you people who have practiced martial arts control it to such a fine degree?" Duan Ming looked at Xing Qianqiu.

"Possibly." Xing Qianqiu pondered slightly: "But it also needs a lot of training. ”

"If so, this man must be a repeat offender." Duan Ming nodded: "Old Criminal, you will send someone to investigate in a while to see if there have been any such cases in this vicinity in recent years." ”

"Okay." Xing Qianqiu nodded.

"Then let's put aside the possibility of the ribcage for a moment." Duan Ming said, "Then now there is only the mouth and nose left." ”

"Normally, mechanical asphyxia acting on the mouth and nose is covering the mouth and nose and strangling the person to death."

"But this method of killing often injures the nose and mouth, causing nasal flaring fractures and oral bleeding, but neither of these points is reflected in Mingli's corpse."

"So, Mingli didn't die of his mouth and nose?" Xing Qianqiu said in a deep voice.

"Not really, just like the problem of the chest, people like you who practice martial arts, if you have undergone professional training, it is possible to do it." Duan Ming pondered slightly: "In addition, there is another possibility. ”

"What?" Xing Qianqiu's brows furrowed slightly.

"Poisoned!" Duan Ming said: "Some poisons can cause paralysis of a person's respiratory center, and then cause a person to suffocate to death. The use of poisonous words can also explain why Mingli died silently, and no one around him found out. ”

"But ......" Xing Qianqiu thought for a while: "Mingli and those monks have always been in and out of the same place, eating and wearing the same, how can they be poisoned?" ”

For words like "paralysis of the respiratory center", Xing Qianqiu didn't bother to study it carefully, after all, Duan Ming could always come up with some unheard words, as long as he could understand them.

"That's where the suspicion lies." Duan Ming nodded: "There are only a few ways to poison - poisoning in the diet, releasing poison in the air, and smearing poison on items. ”

"But there are no signs of poisoning on Mingli's skin, so he shouldn't have died of contact with poison. And what they eat is the same, and the utensils are random, and it is impossible to only be poisoned by reason and nothing happens to others. ”

Of course, if the murderer's purpose was to kill people randomly, and Mingli just happened to die, it makes sense. But you can't think about it along these lines. ”

"As for poisoning the air, Mingli died while sleeping. Then if poison is released in the air, it is impossible to kill Mingli alone without harming others. ”

"In this way, there is only one possibility, and that is targeted poisoning." Duan Ming pondered.

"Targeted poisoning?" Xing Qianqiu frowned.

"It's something that may not have any problems with other people, but for people who have a certain disease, it's highly toxic." Duan Ming said.

"I know that some people can't stand pollen, and once they smell pollen, they will not only be covered in red pox, but also may have difficulty breathing." Xing Qianqiu nodded.

"It's called an allergic reaction." Duan Ming nodded: "If you use a similar method, then you can kill Mingli without anyone knowing." However, there is also a question here, that is, what underlying diseases must Mingli himself have. ”

"Moreover, this does not explain why there is a red lotus pattern on Mingli's chest."

"Let's determine the cause of death first." Xing Qianqiu said in a deep voice: "I will send someone to check it out and see if Mingli will have a special performance towards something in the past, well, yes, allergies!" ”

"Okay." Duan Ming took a deep breath: "Actually, there is one of the biggest doubts. Mingli's nails are not damaged, and there are no traces of restraint on his body, which shows that Mingli did not struggle when he died. ”

"But people who suffocate to death will be very painful before they die, and it is impossible not to struggle."

"This shows that before Mingli died, he should have been in a coma."

"What is the cause of the coma, we also need to find out carefully."

"I see." Xing Qianqiu nodded: "Those monks who live with him have the highest probability of killing people, and they are also the most convenient. I'll start by digging a little bit out of them. ”

"Okay." Duan Ming nodded: "You go first, I'll check it out." ”

"Well, there's Mr. Lao Duan." Xing Qianqiu said, turned his head and left the morgue.

After Xing Qianqiu left, Duan Ming took a deep breath, some things were not completely unviewable, but they needed to be checked more seriously.

Then Duan Ming took out the tools used for dissection, bowed slightly to Mingli's corpse, and then began to dissect.

When Duan Ming was done, the sky was already dark, Duan Ming stretched his waist, packed everything and turned around and left the morgue.

Just as Duan Ming was about to return to his room, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of his eye.

With a frown, Duan Ming quietly followed.

The speed of that figure was very fast, and Duan Ming followed closely behind.

Soon, Duan Ming and the figure left the north courtyard together and came to the empty south courtyard.

The figure walked into the south courtyard, looked left and right, and found no one, so he took off the hat on his head.

In the moonlight, her long black hair hung down, refracting a soft light under the embellishment of the moonlight.

Duan Ming's pupils contracted slightly, but in an instant, Duan Ming understood that this person must be the "female bodhisattva" in the mouth of the little monk Mingde.

Thinking quickly in his mind, Duan Ming cautiously stepped back, intending to leave here.

However, as soon as he took two steps back, Duan Ming was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly pounced forward.

"Wow!" With a crisp sound, a flickering cold light slammed into the place where he had just stood.

Duan Ming rolled up and looked at the person who was standing behind him just now.

I saw that this person was wearing a black night clothes, revealing only a pair of eyes shining with murderous intent.

"Help!" Duan Ming didn't hesitate, he opened his mouth to shout, and at the same time, the whole person quickly ran out.

The woman and the man in black were stunned for a moment when they saw Duan Ming's performance, and then hurriedly chased after him.

Duan Ming's speed was not fast, but the whole person was as slippery as a loach, and the man in black was dodged by Duan Ming several times.

Looking at Duan Ming, who was about to completely run out of the South Courtyard area, the black-clothed man's eyes showed murderous intent, his arm shook, and a small flying knife already appeared in his hand.

"Don't!" The woman screamed when she saw this, but it was too late.

I saw that the man in black shook his arm, and the flying knife flew towards Duan Ming's back, and it was about to pierce Duan Ming's back in the blink of an eye.

And at this moment, Duan Ming had no time to dodge at all!
