Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 33 33. Clues
The sense of smell and vision beyond ordinary people are working at full capacity. From Lan En's perspective, the whole world has changed its color.

The corner of the wooden house exudes the smell of ghouls, and it is marked in bright red in Lan En's vision. There should be a passage for monsters to come in, a hole in the ground.

Studded leather gloves are fiddling with loose pieces of meat, and the brain is analyzing the information of each fracture.

"The fatal injury was a punctured heart. Although the heart was gnawed in half by the ghoul, the edge of the knife is still there. The sharp double-edged dagger is of good quality and interesting."

The young man was talking to himself, which helped him to clear his mind.

The skill of [Trace Detection] is not enough, but for investigating the case, can two thousand episodes of Conan be watched for nothing?
"Is the angle Mentos piercing the heart the same as I thought?"

The intelligence in his head echoed Lane's murmur to himself.

"After the simulation of the mannequin, the dagger was indeed pierced obliquely upwards into the heart from the third rib on the left. In order to ensure a one-shot kill, the dagger was rotated about [-] degrees in the body."

"Aha." The young man raised his eyebrows, "Stable and accurate, and ruthless enough. An old hand."

If an inexperienced human being fights for the first time, he will have shortness of breath, trembling wrists, and sharply reduced field of vision.

The man's tactics showed that he was not only a veteran of combat, but also a veteran killer who could get close to watch the whole process of the victim's dying process.

Lan En found the shoes worn by the victim in the mess again.

Fortunately, the three ghouls were not so hungry that they even gnawed on the tanned leather, otherwise there would not even be a pair of shoes left.

"Based on the size of the shoe. The victim is about 170 centimeters."

Judging height cannot be based on the upper body of a person, because most people's upper body is the same length, and the two legs are the root of the height gap.

After struggling to obtain this information, Lan En finally understood why he was certain that this was a "cannibalism case".

The young man held a large arm bone in his hand, and his fingers brushed over the pale bones.

"Teeth marks, not those of a ghoul, but of a human being."

Not only that, the murderer first used a knife to peel off the skin on the victim's upper arm, possibly cutting off a large piece of flesh.

Therefore, according to the opening and closing of the upper and lower jaws of humans, it is possible to bite on the upper arm with one bite, and the teeth touch the bone deeply.

The wound must have been even more horrific before the ghoul "disposed" of the body.

"brute."

Lan En said the conclusion calmly.

This tone is not an angry shout, but a statement of facts.

That murderer is no longer a human being in terms of self-cognition.

There was no more valuable information, Lan En wiped his hands with the blood-free soil on the ground, got up from a half-squatting position and walked outside.

Now, the team members led by Philip Strenger have stood outside the wooden house in unison because of the movement of the battle.

As the captain and the highest ranking person, the burly Philip was swearing.

"Did you idiots crawl out of the stomachs of evil ghosts?!"

No one in the team dared to look him in the eye when he was swearing, even though he was still rubbing his forehead from a hangover.

"Corpse! Our only evidence! Clues! No one cares about it here? Eaten by ghouls?! You've been out of the army for so long that you can't even keep watch!"

He walked around the team members, getting angrier as he talked.

They are a group of veterans, fresh from Temeria's war army supporting Cidaris' restoration of the throne, returning home to serve the local lords.

But now, seeing that the errand is about to be ruined!
Thinking of this, Philip finally clasped the armor of a soldier's neck with his right hand, and dragged him to him.

"You don't even want to spend the night with a rotten corpse, do you want to become that rotten corpse yourself!? Ah? Talk!"

At this time, no one dared to return to him.

The first rank of the official rank crushes people to death, not to mention that this is an official position in the army.

However, some students are dissatisfied with the teacher's training, let alone a group of sergeants.

A voice appeared timidly in the dead line.

"If you want me to say, this is the witcher's fault. People say that the witcher brings bad luck. I think it's true. The corpse was fine a few days ago, but now it's dead when he comes."

"Hey! Show some respect." The voice of the halberd soldier York immediately appeared, confronting him tit for tat.

"The demon hunter has nothing to do with bad luck. He is our helper. Are you slandering your own helper like this?"

Lan En came out of the room, and he heard what he said just now.

But now the strength of this kind of words can't even break his defense.

So the young man just nodded to the halberd soldier who spoke for him.

At this time, Philip also let go of the sergeant in his hand, leaned on his helmet, and walked to Lan En with a solemn expression.

"I'm sorry we didn't guard the leads, these idiots are too lazy now."

He checked himself first, then rubbed his hands together and looked expectantly at Lan En.

"But Yorke said just now, what clues can you find in that pile of wreckage. Can you really?"

"How should I say it?" The young man was also cleaning up the dust on his hands at the moment, as if thinking of the mess in the house, he ground his teeth unconsciously.

"The broken ones are really not light."

"Oh." Philip's disappointment was visible to the naked eye, but this result was as expected.

If all the corpses gnawed by ghouls can be found out, then the demon hunter can go directly to the temple to become a priest.

Asking them is better than worshiping God.

Come on, Jazz's mission is lost.

Philip waved his hands behind him disheartened, and was about to bring a group of brothers back to Crow's Nest to report on their duties.

"But it's not without information."

Ok? !

The tall and strong officer turned around sharply while holding his helmet.

"The murderer is about 160 centimeters tall and weighs [-] kilograms. He is a skilled killer. He has a good quality double-edged dagger. I guess his habit of cannibalism has reached the stage where he can only eat human flesh and can't eat anything else. This person has been hungry for a long time."

The young man slapped the dust on his palms, and narrated the results of his investigation in a flat manner.

Philip was elated when he heard it at first. This is because his mission has been fulfilled!
But then, as Lan En's description became more and more detailed, his face began to hesitate instead.

There are already few clues, and they were ruined by ghouls. Can you really provide so much information?

This kid is not trying to cheat money, is he?
Lan En, who was still speaking in a leisurely manner, seemed to take his concerns into consideration.

"That guy has already eaten a lot of people. When he killed the victim farmer, he deliberately peeled his skin to ensure the taste and cleanliness. But his first bite went directly to the bone. He was too hungry And a person who owns such a dagger that rubs between the bones without even falling off iron filings, even if it is a temporary mortgage, can have a full meal anywhere. So there is no doubt that he only eats Human flesh."

The order was clear, and now Philip's doubts completely disappeared.

And the sergeants behind him, including York, who had seen the extraordinaryness of the witcher, all opened their mouths wide under this kind of logical thinking they had never seen before, like carp waiting to be fed in a pond.

"Besides, he might be a foreigner." When he said this, Lan En was a little hesitant.

After all, he still claimed to be a foreigner yesterday, so he felt a little nervous.

Philip, worthy of his position, sensed this at once.

"What's that saying, Master Witcher?"

"Because he is an outsider, he doesn't know the meaning of Duenhan, so he will commit murder here."

Bernie had told Lane about Dunham when he was still in Auriden.

Although it is a place where the beliefs of the residents converge, it is actually the intersection of several roads.

Under the teachings of the goddess Meritelli, people go there to worship the three small stone statues, the three incarnations of the goddess.

The statues are a carefree girl, a pregnant woman with maternal love, and a hunched old woman.

A meager amount of food, belongings, etc. is left there, and passers-by in difficulty will take some.

When they are able to repay in the future, they will also be enshrined to Meritelli again.

So if Du Enhan was in the non-sacrifice period, there was really nothing special about it.

Therefore, it is possible for uninformed outsiders to risk public outrage and kill people on the spot.
