Chen Yutian looked at the nameless female corpse that had been rescued from the tree. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Gongsun is doing a preliminary autopsy.

The deceased looked to be about thirty years old, although the clothes on his body were torn by the murderer with a sharp weapon, but it can be seen that the fabric used is extremely exquisite, and it seems that the deceased should have been born in a rich family before his death.

However, the most strange thing for Chen Yutian is the death of the deceased.

This kind of death is almost exactly the same as the statue of Ling Chi that I saw in the ghost temple last night, and even the gender of the deceased is exactly the same as the sculpture of Heavenly Punishment.

Is this a coincidence?

Chen Yutian shook his head slightly, it shouldn't be a coincidence, after all, the murderer and even the details of the deceased's hands and feet being tied with iron chains are exactly the same as the Heavenly Punishment Sculpture!

It's the kind of small detail that's usually the easiest to overlook.

But the murderer actually noticed it, which means that the murderer and the person who built those heavenly punishment sculptures in the ghost temple should be the same person!!

In this way, could it be that the real purpose of building those heavenly punishment sculptures and even that ghost temple was to kill people?

Or is that ghost temple actually a murder prediction?

A murder trailer that foreshadows the murderer's modus operandi?

If this is the case, there are a total of five Heavenly Punishment Sculptures in that ghost temple, doesn't that mean that the murderer is planning to kill five people one after another?

And still kill people with heavenly punishment?

Chen Yutian thought as he walked, and suddenly his expression moved, and his eyes looked at the ground under his feet.

There was a torrential rain last night, and the roads were muddy, so whether it was people or cars and horses walking by, they would leave very clear footprints or wheel prints.

And at this time, on the road that Chen Yutian walked, there was a clear footprint.

The footprints were shallow, and there was a little water in them.

It had just rained last night, and no one had walked this morning except for a few of them, so these footprints should have been left when it rained last night, and the evidence was a little water in the footprints.

If it was a footprint left after the rain stopped this morning, then there should be no standing water in the footprint.

This stagnant water can only be accumulated by the rainwater that fell into the footprints when it rained last night.

Therefore, these footprints, most likely, were left by the murderer or the deceased.

"Huh?" Chen Yutian's expression suddenly moved, and his eyes looked at the dense forest beside the road.

There, not far from the dead man's hanging, there appeared to be something on the grass, reflecting the sun's rays from above.

"This is ......" Chen Yutian walked over quickly, and saw that it was a silver hairpin, which was left on the grass.

Chen Yutian picked up the silver hairpin and looked at it carefully.

This is a silver hairpin with extremely fine workmanship, and the silver hairpin is inlaid with a very crystal clear bead flower, which is expensive at a glance, and it is by no means something that ordinary people can have.

Chen Yutian looked at the big tree where the deceased had hung and frowned slightly.

The place where the silver hairpin fell was not very far from the tree hanging by the deceased, and it should be the thing that the deceased fell.

At this time, Chen Yutian saw Gongsun, who was originally conducting an autopsy, stand up.

"Mr. Gongsun, the preliminary autopsy is over?" asked Chen Yutian.

Gongsun nodded slightly, and then listened to Chen Yutian ask, "Did you find anything?"

Gongsun looked at the body of the deceased and slowly spoke: "The time of the deceased's death should have been at the first watch last night, and the cause of death was suffocation due to neck compression. ”

"What is the cause of death due to neck compression?"

Gongsun smiled, "In fact, it is to be pinched by the neck and strangled to death, or strangled to death by someone with a rope." ”

"Strangled?" Xuan Xi wondered, looking at the dense wounds on the deceased's body, "Wasn't she executed by Ling Chi?"

Chen Yutian also nodded, he also wanted to ask this question.

Gongsun shook his head, "No, the deceased seems to have countless wounds on his body that were scratched by sharp blades, but these wounds were actually made after the deceased died. ”

"After death?" Xuan Xi wondered.

Gongsun squatted down and pointed to the wounds on the deceased's body, "You see, the deceased has so many wounds cut by a sharp blade, but the blood stains from these wounds have not shown the slightest sign of overflowing, even if there is an occasional overflow, they are all in a coagulation state, right?"

Chen Yutian and Xuan Xi nodded.

This can be easily seen with the skills of the two.

This is evidence of these wounds after death. Gongsun continued, "When a person is alive, the blood in the body is flowing, so if it is a wound caused before death, the blood should be splashed, and the blood will not coagulate, but it is different after death." After death, the blood begins to coagulate, and the wound caused at this time will not splatter because of the blood coagulation, but will coagulate near the wound, as it is now. ”

Chen Yutian nodded.

"And, look again. Gongsun pointed to the wound of the deceased and continued, "People, when they are born, the wound cut by a sharp weapon will cause a little flesh and blood to turn out, but after a person dies, the incision of the wound is relatively smooth, and there will be no flesh and blood valgus. ”

Chen Yutian carefully observed the wounds on the deceased's body.

Sure enough, the wound on the deceased's body was extremely flat and the blood was stagnant, which was very consistent with Gongsun's description of the wound caused after death.

In this way, these wounds were made after the death of the deceased. ”

"Not bad!" Gongsun smiled slightly, and then exposed the neck of the deceased, Chen Yutian and Xuan Xi both frowned slightly.

On the neck of the deceased, there were obvious marks of a rope strangulation.

Sure enough, the deceased was strangled to death by the murderer with ropes and other objects. Chen Yutian looked at the deceased and spoke.

Gongsun nodded, "Or, to be more accurate, it should be that he was hanged first, and then Ling Chi after his death!!"

Chen Yutian and Xuan Xi's eyes flashed slightly.

Gongsun smiled slightly and looked at the two, "Have you forgotten? Isn't hanging just hanging people on ropes and strangled?"

The two of them understood, but they both immediately felt a wave of anger rushing to their heads.

Hang first, then Ling Chi, this murderer's murder method is really cruel to the point of outrageous!!

"From the preliminary autopsy, the students can find only these things, and the rest will not be known until we go to Lingshui County for a detailed autopsy. Gongsun said, "However, I think the murderer must have made an appointment with the deceased for some reason in advance and then killed him." ”

"Oh?" Chen Yutian sighed, "Why did Mr. Gongsun deduce that?"

"My lord, this is also what the students found from the deceased. ”

"Oh? ”

"My lord, except for the fatal strangulation mark, there are no signs of rope binding on other parts of the deceased's body, which means that the deceased was not forcibly brought here by the murderer. If she was forcibly brought here by the murderer, she would have struggled, and there should have been corresponding traces on her body, but the student had carefully examined it just now, and there was not the slightest trace of the deceased on his body. Gongsun said.

Chen Yutian nodded, "I see." Moreover, if your inference is true, then the murderer is probably an acquaintance of the deceased, otherwise the deceased would not have come here with him. ”

"That's right. Gongsun nodded, "What did you find at the scene just now?"

Hearing this, Xuan Xi also looked at Chen Yutian, "Yes, senior brother, have you found anything?"

Chen Yutian smiled slightly, "Speaking of discoveries, I really have some, I found some footprints on the road we haven't walked yet, I think, that should be left by the murderer." ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the place where the footprints were.

"In addition, I found this not far from the tree where the deceased was hanging. ”

He took out the silver hairpin that appeared to be the object of the deceased.

Xuan Xi took the silver hairpin and looked at it carefully, and felt that this silver hairpin was extremely heavy in his hand, and it should be a valuable thing.

But when Xuan Xi carefully looked at the beads on the silver hairpin, he suddenly sighed.

"Huh?"
