Chapter 33 33. Clues
The sense of smell and vision beyond ordinary people are operating at full strength. From Lan En's perspective, the whole world has changed colors.
The corner of the wooden house exuded the smell of ghouls, and was marked in bright red in Lan En's field of vision. There should be the passage where the monsters came in, a hole in the ground.
The studded leather gloves were playing with the scattered pieces of meat, and the brain was analyzing the information from each fracture.
“The fatal injury was that the heart was punctured. Although the heart was chewed in half by the ghoul, the edge of the knife still remained. The sharp double-edged dagger has good texture and is interesting.”
< br>
The young man muttered to himself, which helped him to clear his mind.
The [Trace Detection] skill is not enough, but for investigating the case, can I still watch two thousand episodes of Conan in vain?
"Is the angle at which the murder weapon penetrates the heart Mentos the same as what I thought?"
The wisdom in the brain responded to Lan En's whisper to himself.
“After simulation on the human body model, the dagger indeed penetrated the heart diagonally from the third rib on the left. In order to ensure a fatal blow, the dagger was rotated about thirty degrees in the body.”
"Aha." The young man raised his eyebrows, "Stable, accurate, and ruthless enough. A veteran."
Inexperienced humans will have shortness of breath, trembling wrists, and limited vision when fighting for the first time. Shrunk sharply.
This man's technique shows that he is not only an experienced fighter, but also an experienced murderer who can watch the victim's dying process up close.
Lan En again found the shoes worn by the victim in the mess.
Fortunately, these three ghouls were not so hungry that they even chewed the tanned leather, otherwise they would not even be able to keep these shoes.
"Based on the size of the shoes, the victim is about 170 centimeters."
To judge the height, you cannot look at the person's upper body, because most people's upper bodies are the same length, and the legs are spread apart The origin of the height difference.
After struggling to obtain this information, Lan En finally understood why he was convinced 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.
“The tooth marks are not those of a ghoul, they are human.”
Not only that, the murderer first used a knife to peel off the skin on the victim's upper arm, possibly even cutting off a large piece of flesh.
So according to the opening and closing of the upper and lower jaws of humans, it can bite on the upper arm with the teeth touching the bone deeply.
Before the ghoul "processed" the body, the wound must have been even more shocking.
“Beast.”
Lan En said his conclusion calmly.
This tone was not an angry scolding, but a statement of facts.
The murderer is no longer human in terms of self-awareness.
With no more valuable information, Lan En grabbed a handful of bloodless soil on the ground and wiped his hands, stood up from a squatting position and walked out.
Now, the team members led by Philip Strenger have all stood outside the wooden house because of the noise of the battle.
As the captain and the person with the highest position, the strong Philip was cursing.
"Are you idiots crawling out of the belly of evil spirits?!"
When he was cursing, no one in the team dared to look at him, even though he was still rubbing his hands because of his hangover The same goes for the forehead.
“Corpse! Our only evidence! Clues! No one cares about it here? Eaten by ghouls?! You have been out of the army for so long that you can’t even keep vigil, right? "
He walked around the team members, becoming more and more angry as he spoke.
They are a group of veterans who have just come out of the war army in Temeria to support Hydaris' restoration of the throne, and returned to their hometown to serve the local lords.
And now, it seems that the errand is going to go wrong!
Thinking of this, Philip finally grabbed the armor around a soldier's neck with his right hand and pulled him to him.
"You don't want to spend the night with a rotting corpse, do you? Then do you want to become that rotting corpse yourself!? Ah? Talk!"
Nothing at this time People dare to reply to him.
The first level of official position is overwhelming, let alone an official position in the army.
But there are also students who are dissatisfied with the teacher's training, let alone a group of sergeants.
A voice timidly appeared in the silent team.
“If you want me to say it, it’s the witcher’s fault. People say that witchers bring bad luck, and I’m absolutely right. The corpse was fine in the past few days, but now he’s all Come on"
"Hey! Be respectful." Halberdier York's voice immediately appeared, confronting him tit for tat.
"The Witcher has nothing to do with Doom. He is the helper we invited. Are you just slandering your own helper like this?" Lan En walked out of the room, and he heard what he just said.
But now the force of these words cannot even break his defense.
So the young man just nodded to the halberdier who spoke for him.
At this time, Philip also let go of the sergeant in his hand, held his helmet, and walked to Lan En with a solemn expression.
"I'm sorry we didn't keep the clues, these idiots have slacked off too much now."
He first examined himself, then rubbed his hands and cast an expectant look at Lan En.
"But York just said that you can find any clues in that pile of debris. Is it true?"
"How to say?" The young man was also cleaning up at this moment. The dirt and dust seemed to be thinking of the mess in the house, and he grinded his teeth unconsciously.
"The broken ones are really not light."
"Oh." Phillip's disappointment was visible to the naked eye, but the result was really expected.
If corpses that have been chewed by ghouls can be found out, then the demon hunter can just go to the temple and become a priest.
Asking them is better than worshiping gods.
Come on, Jazz’s mission is gone.
Philip waved his hands behind him in frustration, and was about to take a group of brothers back to the crow's nest to report on their work.
“But the information is not without it.”
Um? !
The tall and strong officer turned around suddenly while holding on to his helmet.
"The murderer is about 160 centimeters tall and weighs 60 kilograms. He is a skilled killer. He has a double-edged dagger of good quality. I guess his cannibalism has reached the point where he only eats human flesh and nothing else. He couldn't even eat anymore, and he had been hungry for a long time when he killed this person."
The young man patted the dust on his palms and recounted the results of his investigation calmly.
Philip was very excited 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 expression began to hesitate.
There are few clues, and they were ruined by ghouls. Can it really provide so much information?
Isn’t this guy trying to cheat money?
Lan En, who was still telling the story in a leisurely manner, seemed to have taken his concerns into consideration.
“That guy has eaten a lot of people. When he killed the victim farmer, he even skinned him to ensure the taste and cleanliness. But his first bite actually hit the victim directly. On the bones. He is too hungry. And a person who has a dagger that will not drop any iron filings even if it is rubbed between the bones can have a full meal anywhere, so it is useless. Doubtful, he only eats human flesh now.”
The order was clear, and now Philip's doubts completely disappeared.
The sergeants behind him, including York, who had already seen the extraordinary power of the witcher, opened their mouths one by one under this kind of logical thinking that they had never seen before, like a pond. Carp waiting to be fed.
"Besides, he may be a foreigner." When saying this, Lan En was unusually hesitant.
After all, he claimed to be a foreigner yesterday, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.
Philip was worthy of his position and noticed this immediately.
"What is this, Master Demon Hunter?"
"Because he is a foreigner, he does not know the significance of Durnham, so he would commit murder here."
While still in Auriden, Bernie told Lan about Durnhan's situation.
Although it is a place where residents’ beliefs converge, it is actually the intersection of several roads.
Under the teachings of the goddess Melitelli, people went to worship the three small stone statues there, which are the three incarnations of the goddess.
The statues are of a carefree girl, a loving pregnant woman, and a hunched old woman.
Leave a meager amount of food, belongings, etc. there, and passers-by in need will take some away.
When he is able to repay it in the future, he will offer it to Meritelli again.
So if Du Enhan is not in the sacrificial period, there is really nothing special about him.
As a result, unsuspecting outsiders may risk public outrage and kill people on the spot.
