Chapter 150 Extremely Cruel Way of Death

   "Holts, are you trying to say that that guy is undead, just like the mummies in the movies?"

  Harry looked at Holz with an expression of'you think we are fools'.

  Holtz shrugged: "Forensic doctors generally regard untreated, fatal wounds as fatal injuries. I mean, Mike Smith may have masochism!"

  He brought the crowd to a projection, playing out the old scars:

   "See those puncture wounds.

   I've seen it before.

   This is caused by a European torture tool called a bone nail, which appeared in the Middle Ages and was the favorite of those religious trials.

   And this sawtooth injury.

   This thing will be like the teeth of a shark, dunking into the flesh and blood, and passing through the blood groove line, making you feel the weakness of the blood coming out a little bit. "

   "Similar old wounds, there are more than 400 on Mike Smith's body, and nearly 300 of them are near-fatal wounds.

   Except for the exposed neck and head, he is almost covered with scars.

  In this situation, even with modern medical support, you have to accumulate it over the years to survive until now, otherwise no one can survive it. "

  Holtz took out some images that no one could understand:

   “I did a full dissection of Mike Smith.

  His physical function is very poor. There are a lot of antibiotics and hormones in his body, and there are many scabs on the bones in his body, which are the marks that will only be formed after repeated bone fractures and healing.

   This guy is living with a tattered body with eighteen hands, and he is constantly suffering from the follow-up torture caused by excessive injuries.

  If it wasn't for the tragic death, I almost thought he couldn't bear the pain and chose to commit suicide. "

  Dean looked away from the projection, and asked directly: "These old injuries, and the new injuries on Mike Smith, are all caused by ancient European torture tools?"

  Holtz nodded: "I sent an email to ask many people, and I can basically confirm that all of them are torture tools left over from ancient times, but the new injuries on Mike Smith's body are still somewhat innovative."

  He opens another folder.

  Hundreds of photos form a huge square photo wall, which appears in front of everyone.

  Holtz took out the laser pointer and circled the ranges:

"The time of Mike Smith's death can be roughly determined to be between two o'clock in the morning and four o'clock in the morning last night. There are a total of 121 new wounds on his body, including punctures, contusions, cuts, and stab wounds. , fire, freezing, electric shock.

  If you add the old scars before.

  In Mike Smith, you can find almost all the shadows of ancient European torture tools.

   It is estimated that the most hated pagans in the Middle Ages did not have this treatment.

  Because almost no one survived so many punishments.

   Even modern times are hard.

  This means that the torturer has no worse understanding of these punishment tools and the human body than a professional doctor. "

  Holtz took a breath, and after drinking two cups of coffee in a row, he continued:

   "In addition, there are traces of drug injection in Mike Smith's body.

  I haven't found a matching potion type for this potion, and it's probably a private configuration, but I can probably guess the effect through the ingredients.

   Strong heart + calmness! "

  Holtz's eyes flashed with excitement:

   "People have self-protection mechanisms.

  Once the pain or emotion reaches an unbearable limit, people will be forced into a coma.

  The murderer injected Mike Smith with a drug in order to keep him awake.

  In addition to strengthening the heart and preventing Mike Smith from going into a coma, the potion can also amplify his senses, allowing him to feel the taste of each punishment more clearly.

   Then think of his fixed eyes that cannot be closed.

   Guess what other cruel things the murderer did? "

  Everyone has already assumed the tragic situation of Mike Smith described by Holz, and when they heard Holz's question, they shook their heads with chills.

   This is enough to make life worse than death. Is there anything more cruel?

  They no longer dare to think about it any further.

  Holtz glanced at the group of weak chickens with disdain, and looked at Dean expectantly, hoping that the other party could synchronize his thinking.

   This can at least show that his thinking is not so perverted.

   Dean didn't let him down.

  He took out a cigarette and lit it, and said lightly:

  "When the pain of the body reaches a certain level, people will actually become numb, but the pain of the mind will become sober like never before because of the pain of the body!

  So, when the murderer executed Mike Smith, he took a mirror and put it in front of him, so that he could see with his own eyes how he was mutilated in a different way! "

   "Yes, after substituting these scars, I finally came to this conclusion!"

  Holz is happy to have someone who can sync up with his mind.

  This means that it is not the perversion I think, but the truth!

  He released the last photo.

  This is a high-definition close-up of the eyes:

  Diffused and smudged black eyes, in thin burns, dots of blood are distributed.

   Brown and red.

   There is actually a weird beauty.

   "This is a typical suffocation death symptom. Mike Smith died of suffocation. His body and mind reached the limit of death. He was so painful that he suffocated, or he voluntarily refused to breathe and suffocated himself to death."

  Everyone: "."

  A corpse with hundreds of minor and severe injuries, the cause of death was suffocation, and it is very likely that he refused to breathe and suffocated himself to death.

  You think this is a detective novel written by a low-level writer!

  Even Dean was a little speechless: "Holtz, if you want to suffocate yourself, it is almost impossible, because the body will have its own thoughts."

  This idea is the body's self-survival instinct.

  Probably because the consciousness does not want to live, but the body feels that it can still be rescued, ignoring the control of the consciousness on the body, and making some uncontrolled reactions

  So it is almost impossible to hold your breath and kill yourself.

  People have limits.

  Dean prefers that Mike Smith has a physical and mental breakdown, suffocating in pain.

  In short, Mike Smith's death was tortured.

   This made Dean more sure of his conjecture: the murderer hated Mike Smith extremely!

  He looked at Holz: "By the way, that Akita dog, have you checked the situation?"

  Holtz was enjoying the disgusted disgusted expression of everyone in Old Hunter. Hearing this, he grinned and was about to open another folder.

  Old Hunter hurriedly stopped: "Holtz, just say it directly, it's so easy for us to substitute you in this way, it's uncomfortable!"

   "The deputy team is right!" Harry glared at Holz fiercely: "If you dare to post a picture of that dead dog again, I swear I will treat you to maggot rice!"

   "Wow, that thing has a high protein content, and it might taste good with some mustard or ketchup." Holz countered.

  yue~

  Harry covered his mouth and exited the screening room.

  Holtz was disgusted and left Harry, so he introduced the autopsy results of the Akita Dog contentedly:

  "The Akita dog died about 15-20 days ago. There were more than 30 traces of torture instruments on his body. All the bones were broken, the internal organs were damaged, and he bleeds to death.

   This is where it gets interesting.

  The wound marks on the Akita dog can basically be found on Mike Smith.

  I was inspired to extract part of the genetic material from Mike Smith's scar. Although the amount is not enough, it is certain that it is not human genetic material. "

Old Hunter was shocked when he heard this: "Holtz, you are suspicious. Mike Smith tortured and killed this dog. Finally, the dog owner found him and tortured and killed Mike Smith with the same method and tools. ?”

   Holz nodded:

"almost.

   Don't forget that Mike Smith was troublesomely fixed in a kneeling confession pose.

  That direction is facing the place where the dog is buried.

  And where he died, students often sneaked over to find the excitement of fighting in the wild.

   This kind of place is not hidden at all.

  This is also the reason why Mike Smith died at three or four in the morning, but was discovered after six in the morning.

   I checked the soil on the dog carcasses.

  After it was buried there, there were traces of flipping, but it was close to the time of burial.

   Half a month later.

  Mike Smith died in the same place, kneeling over the dog's body.

  The murderer obviously had time to choose the hiding place of Mike Smith, but he still did so, indicating that he didn't care whether the body would be found, and just wanted Mike Smith to kneel down and repent.

  So the murderer is very likely to be the owner of the dog! "

Dean looked at the eloquent Holtz, touched his chin, and asked curiously: "Dude, are you stimulated? You never used to be like a police detective. Besides completing your job, you still have the mood to The murderer conducts criminal mind derivation."

  He feels that this is a hairy person, and today he is a bit imitating his actions and speech.

"I also think it's weird, just like." Old Hunter narrowed his eyes, and then looked at Dean with a strange expression: "The current Holtz is like a low-profile version of you, Dean! "

  The same ability to identify and the same ability to deduce criminal psychology

  Holtz seems to be not as tall, handsome, strong, long and other external factors as Dean, but the habit of speaking and doing things today does have a weird feeling of deliberately imitating Dean.

  Robert looked at Holtz, then at Dean, and nodded heavily: "The deputy team is right, you are indeed imitating Dean, Holtz, do you want to be transferred to the Murder Division?"

Holz spread his hands: "Okay, I was discovered by you, I am really tired of facing a pile of rotten corpses every day, plus discovering some things that Dean knows, in fact, I can too, just want to try try."

   It is mainly the profession of forensic medicine, and people will be shocked if they say it.

  In this **** place, there are girls at his mercy, every day, but they are all giants with missing limbs

   It's hard to say.

"If you want to transfer, you are welcome, but now we need to deal with this case first!" Dean slapped his hands to attract everyone's attention: "This Akita dog was buried near the university. Normally, if the breeder If you don’t want your dog to be hunted down by dog ​​hunters, you must identify it.”

  Holtz nodded: "Yes, I did find the identity chip on its wreckage."

   said.

  He took out a transparent bag from the projection table.

  Inside the bag, there is a cylindrical transparent electronic crystal about the size of a baby's little finger.

   This thing is not a GPS positioning device, but it stores some basic information of the dog.

  If the dog hunting team catches it, they will know that the dog has an owner through machine scanning, and will contact the owner to take it back. If the dog is far away, the owner will also need to pay a loss fee.

  This discovery made Old Hunter very excited!

   "Who is the owner of the dog?"

  Holtz had a strange expression: "The dog Mike Smith is his own."

"It's normal." Dean said with a chuckle: "If you are the owner of the dog, in order to avenge your dog, you will deliberately kneel the corpse on the dog's burial ground, and then don't take the identity chip from the dog's body? ?”

   Isn't this the same as not calling yourself?

  Ordinary criminals may make this kind of mistake.

  But a person who can cast hundreds of punishments of different shades on people without being fatal will definitely not make such a mistake.

  Because anyone who has achieved something in anatomy will be forced to acquire some very good habits.

   Such as: details, precision, careful observation, etc.!

  So from the very beginning, Dean felt that the murderer was not the dog owner.

   Holz is not stupid either.

  He heard Dean's words, and he had a somewhat smug expression, but he collapsed with a bang.

He threw the bag back and sighed: "Well, it is true, but this kind of murderer will not do meaningless things, that kind of inhuman torture, and it is not fake, this kind of madness, I am only in some Heard it on extremist cultists."

   Cultists!

Dean thought of the old scars left by the ancient torture equipment on Mike Smith's body, his heart moved, and he said: "Holtz, do you think Mike Smith himself is a cult member, so he has such scars on him? What old scars, until he violated the canon because of something, and was finally punished by his angry companions?"

  Holtz shook his head and explained:

   "Dean, modern cults, for the sake of identity, often engrave unique tattoo marks on certain parts of the body, but Mike Smith has only dense scars, but no traces of tattoos!"

  Dean shook his head: "Holtz, you are wrong, scars are the best tattoos!"

   "Well, you can look for relevant information in the forensics department. I will take the guys to Mike Smith's residence to check and see if we can find any clues.

  I have a hunch that this case may be more troublesome than we imagined. "

  Holtz nodded somewhat disappointed.

  He found himself compared to Dean, who was really just an ultra-low-profile version.

  Leave the forensic department.

  The crowd divided into two groups.

  The old Hunter took Robert to the school where Mike Smith taught, found several of his graduate students, and asked him about Mike Smith's situation.

  Dean took Harry and drove straight to Mike Smith's home in Los Angeles.

   Leave the isolation point tomorrow afternoon.

Good night.
