“That’s right, but the wound is even thinner. Moreover, the wound is long and narrow, but it’s half a finger deep. It’s a little unbelievable. Only a special weapon can cause such an injury. For example.. ‘
As he spoke, Qin Ming put the 100 yuan into his pocket and reached out to pinch a strand of hair from Captain Chen’s shoulder. “Hair!”
“Hair? How is that possible! Old Qin, are you joking?” Captain Chen, who was beside him, was no longer in the mood to pay attention to his 100 yuan. He questioned with a stunned expression.
Qin Ming shook his head and said, “I’m just making an analogy. Of course, hair can’t be used as a weapon because it’s too soft. But what about fishing lines?”
As Qin Ming pressed on the neck wound of the corpse, he continued, “Look, this external wound is very flat. Moreover, the victim’s throat didn’t rupture in an instant…
“It didn’t rupture in an instant?”
Everyone was puzzled by this explanation.
“Yes, the wound and the time of death are inconsistent.” Qin Ming nodded. Seeing everyone’s confusion, he explained, “In other words, the deceased suffered a fatal injury first, but his movements were normal for a short period of time. It was only after a period of time that the wound ruptured and blood returned to his throat that he died.”
“From this, we can conclude that the victim’s throat was cut by an extremely sharp weapon. The victim did not even notice that he was injured in time. After a period of time, the wound gradually opened because of his breathing. In the end, he choked on the flowing blood and suffocated to death.”
After hearing Qin Ming’s reasonable analysis, everyone could not help but sigh at his professionalism.
At the same time, they were surprised by the perpetrator who killed the deceased.
“Then what kind of weapon could achieve such a stealthy killing effect?” Captain Chen was still puzzled.
Qin Ming smiled and stood up to clap his hands. “It’s very simple. Just use cicada wings!”
“Cicada wings! Dr. Qin, you’re using metaphors again, right?”
Qin Ming pointed at Zhou Xiaoxiao, who was speaking, and revealed a promising expression. “That’s right. Unless the murderer’s weapon is as thin as a cicada’s wing, just like the miaodao in Jin Yong’s novels. It’s thin and light. Then, they have to train hard for ten years before they can attack so quickly that he can’t even react when his flesh and blood are separated.”
—Hiss!
Hearing this, everyone present could not help but feel a chill run down their spines and gasp.
Whether it was the weapon that Qin Ming said was as thin as a cicada’s wing or the saber techniques in martial arts novels that were as fast as the wind, they were clearly just an exaggerated metaphor. This was because these martial arts experts were all fabricated and only existed in novels.
However, this also indirectly proved that the weapon used to kill the grave robber was very terrifying!
But what kind of weapon would it be?
Just as everyone was marveling, Professor Xie’s phone suddenly rang, scaring everyone.
Professor Xie didn’t hide it and answered the call.
Immediately, Xiao Li’s exclamation came from the phone. “Professor, come back quickly. The tomb has been opened. There’s a shocking discovery!” “Oh? What did you find?”
“Please come quickly. I can’t even explain it clearly in a few sentences. It’s simply unbelievable. This subverts my understanding of that history!”
When Professor Xie heard this, he was unwilling to delay for a moment. As for the tomb robber’s corpse, it was the police’s job. He hurriedly told Captain Chen that he had found something and left.
“Captain Chen, do you think they’re trying to take advantage of us? After they dug out the ancient tomb treasure, they were tempted by money. Did a fight break out between the mercenaries and tomb robbers?”
After Professor Xie from the Cultural Relics Bureau left with his men, Captain Chen and a group of police officers began an intense brainstorm. The forensic team beside him also discussed.
“Unbelievable. This is the first time I’ve seen such a thin wound.
“That’s right. This wound can even be seamlessly connected. Not even a line can be seen.”
Soon, it was past one in the afternoon.
Xu Kui rushed over in a military uniform.
Behind him were five soldiers. All of them were well-equipped. They were wearing combat uniforms and camouflage helmets. They were armed with live ammunition and looked ready for battle.
The tall and burly Xu Kui brought the soldiers to the scene as fast as lightning.
“Commander Xu, this is a member of the tomb raiding group. I wonder if you have any relevant information about them.”
Captain Chen hurriedly pointed at the corpse on the ground and asked when he saw Xu Kui and the others running over fully armed.
Xu Kui took three steps forward and squatted down with a frown to look at the victim’s face and clothes. After a careful inspection, he shook his head. “This is not the mercenary we’re looking for.”
Although Captain Chen had expected this, he was still a little disappointed.
Xu Kui then thought of the grave robbers’ target. Xu Kui turned to look at Captain Chen and asked, “Have you found out what they took in the tomb? They even joined the mercenaries. They went through so much trouble and even took such a big risk. The thing they’re looking for is definitely not simple!”
Captain Chen shook his head and said, “The Cultural Relics Bureau did find something. The only thing we can confirm is that a small box was lost. As for the rest, we don’t have it for the time being. They’re cracking the clues found in the tomb.”
As he spoke, Captain Chen pointed at the corpse and asked, “Commander Xu, you’re from the army and are more knowledgeable. Can you guess what weapon caused the wound on his neck? We suspect that there was an internal conflict between the mercenaries and tomb robbers.”
Hearing this, Xu Kui was surprised. Then, he knelt on one knee and leaned close to the corpse to take a closer look at the victim’s wound.
Then, without any suspicion, he gently pressed his finger on the fatal wound on the corpse’s neck, causing the wound to slowly open and close.
Staring at the pale flesh that was flipped over, the more Xu Kui checked, the more serious his brows became.
A moment later, his eyebrows twitched as an extremely bad premonition struck his heart.
He slowly said, “This is not a mercenary’s technique or weapon!”
Captain Chen was stunned. It turned out that after their discussion, the conclusion that there was a conflict between the tomb raiders and the mercenaries was overturned just like that.
Captain Chen did not give up and recounted their guesses.
After hearing this, Xu Kui waved his hand and said, “It’s not impossible, but this person shouldn’t have been killed by a mercenary. I know the way they kill people very well.
Apart from the firearms, there is also the army knife. Needless to say, the firearms could also be identified at a glance.
However, the wound in front of me was too strange. If I didn’t use my hands to squeeze it, I wouldn’t even be able to see the existence of the wound. It could be seen that the wound was exquisite and subtle, seamless!
How could an army knife achieve such a technique? It was completely impossible, and I had never seen it before.
“Also, if there’s a conflict between the tomb robbers and the mercenaries, with my understanding of this group of mercenaries, they definitely won’t leave anyone alive. Logically speaking, there shouldn’t be only this corpse…”
Zhou Xiaoxiao could not help but make a bold guess. “Could it be that there were other forces involved at the scene and they had no choice but to leave this corpse behind after a battle?”
Xu Kui nodded with a solemn expression.
The others felt a chill run down their spines. If that was the case, this case would probably rise by a few levels.
In Hibiscus Cityy, other than this group of tomb raiders and mercenaries, there were actually other dangerous elements hidden. These time bombs could explode at any time.
And what exactly were they plotting?
What were they looking for?
However, the police officers and soldiers who were deep in thought did not notice that the chief forensic doctor, Qin Ming, had a solemn expression at this moment. He was looking down at his phone, and his brows were getting tighter and tighter. Moreover, the speed at which he typed on his phone was getting faster and faster, proving how anxious he was at this moment!
Suddenly, he raised his head and looked at everyone.
“What happened?”
Only then did everyone notice Qin Ming’s actions. They were immediately shocked by his serious expression.
Qin Ming did not say a word and slowly raised his phone to everyone.
Everyone was surprised. What did Dr. Qin mean? They looked over in confusion and saw a photo on the phone screen. Moreover, it was a close-up photo of a person with an injured wrist!
A photo of the wound on a wrist?
It looked a little familiar…
For a moment, everyone was at a loss.
However, before anyone could react, they heard Qin Ming say faintly,
“The victim’s wound and the robber’s wrist wound…
It’s caused by the same weapon!”
