Special Note:

The previous chapter was blocked. In order not to affect your reading experience, I will summarize the content of the previous chapter:
1. Inspect the scene and speculate on the murderer’s trajectory:
Enter the courtyard over the wall, pick the lock to enter the door, and after entering the bedroom on the left side of the first floor, attack the elderly man sleeping in the bedroom first, but the struggle still awakens the elderly woman. She ran to the door in panic and wanted to call for help, but was stopped by the murderer. kill.

Then the murderer came to the second floor, killed the hostess, dragged the hostess off the bed, and dragged it all the way to the kitchen. Mistress kills.

2. Transport the body back to the funeral parlor for dissection.

----------

Autopsies on the three bodies that died inside the house came faster than expected.The murderer's attack was too sophisticated and precise, and there was only one knife wound on the neck of the three corpses.

With just one cut, the trachea and arteries were accurately severed.

Xu Xing'er first conducted autopsies on the two male victims. Except for confirming that the time of death was between 3:00 and 4:00 in the evening, the murderer was right-handed, and the murder weapon was a sharp long knife, there was nothing valuable to gain.

"A person who specializes in attacking the neck and is good at using knives, who meets this condition in the countryside should be... a butcher?" Wu Cuo said to himself.

Yan Ruyu nodded, and added: "On the way here, I saw a large mountain nearby, maybe there is Orion?"

"In these days, apart from rats and cockroaches, where are all wild animals unprotected? Even rabbits are not allowed to be hunted, Orion? It's gone long ago, right?"

Yan Ruyu said: "It is true that there are very few people who hunt for a living, but the craft is not necessarily lost. I remember a case a few years ago, the murderer armed with a knife to kill people, and they committed serial crimes. The method is extremely clean and sophisticated. Like this case, the throat was also cut, and the police even suspected that it was a professional killer.

It was not until the murderer was brought to justice that the first trial found out that the murderer's grandfather was an old hunter. He grew up with his grandfather in the mountains. He once escaped from the siege of dozens of civet cats with a knife. The ability to use a knife was practiced since childhood. of.

It was because of this case that I felt that the murderer might be a hunter, or someone with certain hunting skills. "

Wu Cuo smacked his tongue and said, "Tsk tsk, old Yan, you are worthy of being a living case."

The three rested for a while, and Xu Xing'er continued to dissect the two female corpses.

Soon, he made a new discovery on the old lady's body.

"The wounds on the necks of the two male victims are shallow on the left side, and generally the wounds start shallower, which means that the murderer made the wound from left to right, so it can be inferred that the murderer is right-handed.

But the wound on the old lady's neck was in the opposite direction from the direction of the two male victims. You see, either for some reason the murderer used the left hand this time, or the murderer attacked the old lady behind her. "

Wu Cuo said: "It was attacked from behind! If the murderer stood in front of the old lady, some of the blood splatter would have been blocked by the murderer, but the splattered blood at the scene was very coherent, indicating that the murderer was behind the old lady at that time. "

Xu Xinger continued: "The wound starts from the middle of the neck and ends at the base of the left ear. Picking along the way shows that the murderer is much taller than the victim. We only need to perform a simulation based on the angle of the wound to know the approximate height of the murderer..."

When Xu Xing'er spoke, Wu Cuo had already actively pulled Yan Ruyu past him, and stood behind Yan Ruyu himself, holding a pair of round-tipped tweezers in his hand to simulate a murder weapon, eagerly gesticulating on Yan Ruyu's neck.

"Of course, it can also be calculated according to the formula." Xu Xinger finally finished speaking.

Yan Ruyu dodged Wu Cuo's attack quickly and said: "The deceased is 162 cm tall, and the angle of the wound is visually determined. The murderer is at least 20 centimeters taller than the deceased. That is to say, the murderer is an agile man with a height of 182 cm or more... it should be male."

The autopsy was performed on the last female deceased—that is, the hostess found in the kitchen, and the atmosphere suddenly became more solemn. Seeing the hostess's wide-open mouth, the black hole seemed to be a passage connecting life and death.

Every time he saw her, Wu Cuo seemed to hear her crying and begging.

In contrast, Xu Xinger and Yan Ruyu were much calmer, and Yan Ruyu joked: "Our Rabbit Wu is so frightened that his ears are pricked up."

Wu Cuo glared at Yan Ruyu, and finally came forward.

Xu Xinger first inspected the head and body surface of the corpse. "The body is cyanotic, the spots on the corpse are dark purple, and the conjunctiva of the eyes is spotty; the lips and nails are cyanotic. These are all signs of asphyxia. The fingers and palms of the hands of the corpse are He also had burns on his arms and chest, which should be left by struggling and resisting, and he wanted to prevent the coal from approaching him."

Yan Ruyu took photos of the wounds on the deceased's hands to collect evidence, and added: "The wounds on the hands, especially the ones on the fingertips... Maybe she wants to take out the burning coals in her mouth."

Xu Xinger nodded and continued: "There are many bruises and abrasions on the corpse, indicating that the deceased had struggled violently during his lifetime."

Next, Xu Xinger inspected and cleaned the wounds in the mouth and neck.

The honeycomb fragments were cleaned out little by little, and the soot adhering to the skin was washed away.

It was found that there was a piece of coal in the respiratory tract of the deceased. After the coal was taken out, congestion gushed out of the respiratory tract.

"Death by suffocation." Xu Xinger concluded, and said: "Judging from the form of the burnt wound, the murderer not only stuffed charcoal into the mouth of the deceased, but also directly stuffed charcoal into the wound at the throat of the deceased."

"How do you know?" Wu Cuo asked.

Xu Xinger explained: "If the charcoal enters the throat through the mouth, it should be burned from the inside to the outside, and the burns on the outside will be lighter than the inside, but look at the wound here, the outside of the wound on the corpse's throat is also severely burned , even more serious than the internal injury, and...look here, the part from the mouth to the middle of the throat is not burned!"

Yan Ruyu stared at the wound and thought for a while, "The murderer first cut off the hostess' trachea, so that she could not call for help, but she would not die immediately, and then dragged the hostess from the bedroom on the second floor to the kitchen.

The murderer opened the hearth and took out the charcoal with coal tongs. He probably wanted to force the hostess to swallow the charcoal. Losing the ability to resist, the murderer finally stuffed the charcoal into the mouth of the deceased. "

Wu Cuo frowned and said: "The other three victims were all killed with one knife, but the hostess... This is... a typical vendetta! Obviously the murderer has a huge hatred for the hostess... Could it be related to sex? "

After checking the woman's genitals, Xu Xinger said: "There is no sign of sexual assault."

When the woman's chest and abdomen were opened for inspection, something was discovered again.

"There was bleeding in the upper abdomen of the deceased, and the bleeding came from... a ruptured spleen."

Xu Xinger took off the spleen of the deceased for observation.

Yan Ruyu narrowed her eyes and said: "According to statistics, when the human body is traumatized and violent, the probability of spleen injury is three times higher than that of other organs, and the spleen is the most vulnerable organ of the human body.

I have seen the most unbelievable case. The two brothers were having fun at home. The elder brother pinched the younger brother behind the door. "

"Indeed," Xu Xinger nodded and said, "In order to subdue the deceased, the murderer must have put all his strength into riding on the deceased."

Yan Ruyu carefully inspected the dead man's nails again, "With such a close contact, there is no evidence left?"

"Really not," Yan Ruyu was a little disappointed, and went to check the clothes of the deceased without giving up.

When the hostess' body was discovered, she was only wearing underwear and a corset. After careful inspection, no other fibrous substances were found.
