Chapter 438 Clues Hidden in the Bones
When sending people to call Shan Daonian, Qin Shaoyou, Cui Yougui, and Monk Ma didn't wait, and led the night watchmen to continue searching on the spot.
The previous search was to find Huang San's remains, but this time the search was to find some clues related to the ghost who committed the crime in the vicinity.
After Huang San left the house yesterday, there was no trace of him, so the time when he was killed was within a dozen hours, and the time when his bones were buried here was even shorter.
There has been no rain in the past two days, and few people come to this place after the weeds and shrubs have been pulled out.
If the ghost who committed the crime really accidentally left some clues around here, there is a high chance that it will be preserved and will not be destroyed.
After a careful search, Qin Shaoyou locked a footprint.
These are not human footprints. They look small and plum-shaped, and they look like they were left by cats, dogs, and wolves.
Moreover, Qin Shaoyou confirmed through [Bright Eyes] that these footprints were not left for a long time.
If it wasn't for wild cats and wild dogs who came here by mistake, then it is very likely that the perpetrator was left behind.
Monk Ma also noticed these footprints under Qin Shaoyou's reminder.
He stroked his bald head and pondered: "Wolves and dogs do have the habit of digging pits to bury food, and then dig it out to eat when they need it later... So, the one who killed Huang San was a dog demon or a dog." Wolf demon?"
Qin Shaoyou called a few night watchmen and asked them to rub the footprints at the scene. After hearing Monk Ma's guess, he said: "It can only be said that there is a possibility, but it is not completely certain."
After a pause, he turned his attention to Cui Yougui.
Brother Cui did not participate in the search. After he found the bone suspected to be Huang San, he started to use the bone as a medium to try to see if he could attract Huang San's soul.
If it is possible, then this case will be much easier to solve. If you directly ask Huang San's soul, you will be able to know what ghost killed him and where it killed him.
Even if the soul is incomplete, you can still ask some clues, and then follow the clues to find out the evil spirits and bring them to justice.
But it's a pity that Cui Yougui tried all his breastfeeding efforts, but still failed to attract Huang San's ghost.
Looking at the yellow paper with Huang San's birth date written on it, it suddenly ignited spontaneously without fire, and burned it up in an instant, but there was no second ghost around except Qiu Rong. Brother, what's the situation?"
Cui Yougui turned around and explained: "There is no Huang San in the underworld, so we can't recruit him."
Qin Shaoyou understood a little.
The horoscope of Ganqing's birthday is the ghost's 'mobile phone number', which can be used to contact the ghosts in the underworld.
And if the ghost is not in the underworld, is it 'Sorry, the user you dialed is out of service area'?
Monk Ma frowned and said, "Is Huang San's soul not in the underworld? Then was he enslaved by the ghost who ate him, or became a wandering ghost, wandering around the world?"
"Definitely enslaved."
Cui Yougui made a conclusion and gave the reason.
"After I failed to recruit Huang San's soul in the underworld, I changed to a spell that specifically recruited wandering ghosts, but it also had no effect.
If Huang San's soul is far away from us, it is possible that we cannot recruit it. But he had just died in the past two days, even if he became a wandering ghost, he would not run too far, and would only stay near his home, there is absolutely no possibility that he could not be recruited.
The only reason is that his soul was enslaved.
It's just that he didn't know whether it was the ghost who killed him who enslaved him, or other ghosts lurking in the city. "
After finishing speaking, Senior Brother Cui paused for a moment, and added: "Of course, the premise of these analyzes is that this bone really belongs to Huang San."
The three of them were discussing, Shan Daonian hurried over behind a night watchman.
After Qin Shaoyou waited for him to approach, he briefly introduced the situation, then pointed to the severed bone that was still in the pit and had not been taken out, and said, "Genius doctor, come and see, is this bone human?" ?”
Shan Daonian answered "Yes", put on his gloves, and took out the long bone from the pit. After a series of professional tests, he gave his judgment:
"My lord, this severed bone is indeed a human bone, it is the tibia of the left lower leg, and it has been hit by a blunt instrument, showing signs of fracture..."
"Blunt impact? Wasn't it bitten off?" Cui Yougui frowned and raised a different opinion: "Look at the bone, there are still many bite marks."
Shan Daonian said: "There are indeed bite marks, but they were all caused later and have little to do with the fracture."
Cui You was ashamed to say nothing, he really did not have the authority of Shan Daonian in the field of autopsy.
Qin Shaoyou nodded and motioned: "Go on, genius doctor, what else do you find?"
Shan Daonian really found something else.
Pointing to the bones, he said one by one:
"Judging from the traces left on the bones, in addition to the comminuted fractures caused by blunt instruments and the bite marks caused by the teeth of wild beasts, there are also many anatomical traces caused by sharp objects.
It's just that such traces are better hidden.
So I wonder, could it be that after killing the deceased, the murderer used a sword or sharp claws to dissect and peel off most of the muscles of the deceased, and then began to gnaw on the bones?
In addition, it can be seen from these anatomical cutting and peeling marks that the murderer has a deep understanding of human body structure and is very good at dividing flesh and blood. "
"Good at dividing flesh and blood, proficient in human body structure?"
Qin Shaoyou frowned when he heard this.
If such a ghost really exists, then it is definitely not born with the ability to master the structure of the human body!
Before Huang San, it must have harmed other people.
It's just that recently, there have been too many ghosts in Mianyuan County, and many people died because of ghosts, so they were covered up.
So Qin Shaoyou asked: "Recently, apart from Huang San, have you received any other disappearance cases?"
Cui Yougui and Monk Ma shook their heads.
Shan Daonian remembered something, and hurriedly said: "My lord, when the people under my command were patrolling a few days ago, they received a case of someone missing."
"Oh?" Qin Shaoyou frowned and asked, "Why didn't you report it?"
Shan Daonian hurriedly explained: "My subordinates received a report and started an investigation nearby. As a result, they really found a ghost..."
When Qin Shaoyou heard this, he also understood.
Anyone who finds the ghost at the scene of the crime will think that the murderer has been caught and killed.
Since the murderer was executed and the case was solved, there was no need to report it separately, it just needed to be written in the case record together with other solved cases.
The ghosts caught and killed by the night watchmen must have harmed people, but it is hard to say whether they harmed the missing person.
However, the case that Shan Daonian talked about reminded Qin Shaoyou that he planned to check out the records of these days and even some previous cases after returning to Zhenyaosi.
See if there are any other missing cases, maybe you can find some clues from them.
As for this scene, and this section of Huang San's tibia...
Qin Shaoyou thought it over and over again, and after discussing with Cui Yougui, Monk Ma, and Shan Daonian, he decided to bury the tibia back in the pit, restore the scene, and leave people here to watch secretly.
If this amputated shinbone was really a ghost like a dog demon or a wolf demon who buried it here as a food reserve, then it will definitely come again.
And if the severed bone was a magic circle created by some ghost, then after they moved here, the ghost might feel it and want to come over to check the situation.
And as long as the ghost comes again, they can bring it to justice.
Although squatting is a 'stupid way', as long as it works.
Besides here, there are several other places where Huang San's bones are found, and people have to be sent to watch them.
But this also raises a new question...
