Seeing Gao Yanjiao's anxious look, Qin Tianming casually picked up a human skull from the ground.
This skull has not completely decayed, and there still seems to be some remaining eyes, eyebrows and hair on the skull.
The blood on the head became like dry paint, slippery in the hand.
The eyes on the skull were wide open, as if he had experienced something extremely horrific before his death.
Qin Tianming raised the skull and said to Gao Yanjiao:
"Look, this skull was cut directly from the corpse not long ago. Judging from the wounds and residual blood, it was at most seven or eight days ago. In other words, this person died seven or eight days ago! The time of death was not long ago."
Although Gao Yanjiao travels around the world, she is still not used to facing a human head so directly, and it is so bloody and terrifying.
She avoided the human head in Qin Tianming's hand and said:
"This man has not been dead for a long time. Just now you just said that this head is missing something?"
Qin Tianming turned the head over in his palm and let Gao Yanjiao check it, but did not say anything.
Gao Yanjiao felt like vomiting when she saw the head, so she hurriedly lowered her head and said:
"Qin Tianming, are you deliberately disgusting? Tell me quickly, what is missing from this head?!"
Qin Tianming raised the head and suddenly said coldly:
"Brain! The brain is missing! Haven't you noticed this obvious feature?"
When Qin Tianming said this, Gao Yanjiao understood.
Gao Yanjiao then held up the torch and took a closer look. Sure enough, the human head was uncovered from the Tianling Cover, and the brain inside was completely removed.
The human head at this moment is like an empty bowl, and it is even more frightening when it is empty.
Qin Tianming held up the head and continued:
"Did you see clearly? This head has obviously been opened by someone, and all the brain inside has disappeared. It is a human head without a brain! This is the difference! It's very strange."
The brain inside the human head has been completely messed up, which is really shocking.
After saying that, Qin Tianming picked up several human heads from the ground one after another, examined them carefully, stood up and said to Gao Yanjiao:
"Did you see it? All these heads suffered the same torture, and all the brains inside them were hollowed out. I don't want to check other heads, just to know that all these skulls have their brains hollowed out!"
When she saw that the seventh head was missing its brain, Gao Yanjiao couldn't help but asked in fear, no matter how calm she was:
"Qin Tianming, you are Da Chuzuo, what do you think is going on?! Who would do such a cruel thing and take away a person's brain! And there are so many."
Qin Tianming put down the head in his hand, shook his head, and said without knowing why:
"Ordinary murderers will not take away the brains of the deceased when killing people, but there are exceptions. For example, some people with special hobbies will like human brains! But such murderers are very rare and difficult to encounter. Now Let me explain what's going on, it's really hard for me to explain."
There were actually crimes that Qin Tianming couldn't explain. Gao Yanjiao's eyes widened and she asked:
"Do stone horse people like human brains? Is it really the devil who is committing the crime? If humans kill people, they won't be so cruel."
Qin Tianming said loudly:
"This world is very complicated. The devil is in the world, not in hell!"
Gao Yanjiao looked at the countless human skulls and heads densely packed on the ground and said:
"Qin Tianming, what should we do now?" Leave here or move on?
"what to do?"
Qin Tianming pointed to the depths of the dark cave with his hand and said with a sneer:
"It's impossible to leave here. We need to move on. Maybe there are more exciting things waiting for us ahead. We can't just give up on solving the case."
After Qin Tianming finished speaking, he held a torch and groped directly towards the depths of the dark cave.
Even Gao Yanjiao, who was excellent in martial arts, couldn't help but feel a little worried when walking in such a dark and terrifying cave.
She didn't want to move on, she wanted to get out of this hellish place as soon as possible.
This place is so eerie and terrifying that I really don’t want to stay any longer, so it’s better to leave.
She called to Qin Tianming in front of her and suggested in a low voice:
"This cave is extremely dark. I think we shouldn't go in again, okay? There are no secrets to see in it. It's too dirty inside. I don't want to go in!"
Qin Tianming looked back at the timid Gao Yanjiao and said with a smile:
"People in the county government say that you, Gao Yanjiao, are the heroine of Daxia. Why don't you even dare to drill into this cave? It's a bit incomprehensible to me."
Under the light of the torch, Gao Yanjiao said hesitantly:
"You don't know what I'm afraid of?"
Qin Tianming was a little surprised and asked:
"Is there anything else in this world that you're afraid of?"
Gao Yanjiao's face turned slightly red and she said:
"I'm afraid of things like cockroaches and rats. The sight of them makes me sick! Do you understand now?"
Oh oh oh, hehehe,
Qin Tianming smiled maliciously and suddenly bent down to pick up something dark from the ground. He approached Gao Yanjiao with it, held it up for her to take a closer look, and said:
"Cockroach, cockroach!"
Gao Yanjiao looked up and screamed in fright. She covered her eyes and squatted on the ground. No matter how Qin Tianming pulled her, she was too frightened to get up.
Qin Tianming frightened Gao Yanjiao for a long time, then suddenly raised his hand and said:
"Get up, my hero, look at the thing in my hand, it's not a cockroach at all!"
Gao Yanjiao still didn't dare to get up.
It wasn't until Qin Tianming picked up the blackened half of the stick in his hand and held it up to Gao Yanjiao's eyes. Gao Yanjiao looked through the cracks in her eyes and realized it wasn't a cockroach.
Gao Yanjiao was so forthright even when she was angry. She stood up and left the cave angrily, leaving Qin Tianming alone.
When Qin Tianming saw Gao Yanjiao leaving, he felt frightened and quickly shouted:
"Gao Yanjiao, where are you going? Come back quickly! I'm scared to be alone! Really."
Gao Yanjiao replied angrily as she walked:
"Are you scared? Just be scared. Who told you to scare me with cockroaches?! I won't go with you if you go alone. You are so brave, why are you scared?"
Qin Tianming rushed to catch Gao Yanjiao, but Gao Yanjiao threw him away. He gasped in anger.
…
The two people were noisy in the cave for a while. Qin Tianming suddenly stopped and pointed at the dust on the ground and said:
"Look, the two of us were fighting and disrupted all the traces left by the prisoners on the ground. It's a pity."
"It's a pity to have stone horses? Isn't it just dust? If it's messy, it's messy. Why bother."
Gao Yanjiao heard this and quickly lowered her head to look at the ground. said.
Qin Tianming lowered his head and began to carefully examine the traces on the dust on the ground, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
Sure enough, the dust inside the cave was very thick, and there were scattered footprints on the ground!
This is not an ordinary discovery, it is definitely a first-class clue.
Just now, Qin Tianming was not ready to check the ground and was having a fight with Gao Yanjiao, when he suddenly discovered the evidence left on the ground.
Such evidence is very precious. Those messy footprints alone are enough to determine who has been here and who has left here. It is indeed good.
Qin Tianming hurriedly lowered his head to carefully examine the footprints on the ground. After a long time, he shook his head and said:
"According to the footprints here, apart from the two of us, four people should have been here!"
Four people have been here? !
Gao Yanjiao asked in surprise:
"Four people have been here? Are you really sure? Why didn't I notice?"
Qin Tianming nodded and said:
"I have studied footprint science and am good at analyzing people's footprints from clues. Take a look,"
Qin Tianming pointed to the messy footprints on the ground and said:
"There are four different kinds of footprints here, some big and some small. Although they are messy, they can still be barely identified."
Qin Tianming did have a few moments where he could tell how many people had been here just by looking at their footprints. It was amazing!
Gao Yanjiao was a little respectful to Qin Tianming at this moment and said:
"Can you really infer that four people have been here based on these traces on the ground?"
Qin Tianming nodded and said:
"Although there have been people inside the cave, and of course there are traces of animals, such as mice, but as long as you observe carefully, you can see it very clearly."
Gao Yanjiao held the torch and almost lay on the ground to watch carefully. After a long time, she suddenly stood up and said:
"Qin Dachuzuo, you are right. I found that there are indeed footprints on the ground! And there are many, many."
Qin Tianming nodded a few times, pointed to the floor of the sacrificial altar and said:
"There are more and denser footprints around the sacrificial altar, do you understand? This means that many people have been here before, but the previous footprints were completely covered up by the later ones and could not be discovered."
Gao Yanjiao said in surprise:
"You said a lot of people have been here?"
"certainly,"
Qin Tianming said:
"Not only have four people with different heights and shapes come here, but there have also been many kidnapped people, such as the owners of these heads. It's just that the footprints they left behind when they came here are different! This is easy to distinguish."
"Why?"
Qin Tianming said seriously:
"If you don't analyze it carefully, you won't find the difference between these footprints. The footsteps of people with their hands tied are very messy. Do you know why? The footprints of people walking in stride are very neat and uniform. This is the difference."
"Why?"
Gao Yanjiao didn't understand why.
Qin Tianming smiled slightly and said mysteriously:
"Because they were blindfolded, they walked in an unusually messy manner. Their footprints were deep and shallow. The force they stepped on the ground was different, and the marks were certainly different."
"You can see this? You are really a god."
"sure!"
Qin Tianming said quietly:
"Sometimes footprints are the password to solve the case, the best password for criminals. As long as you understand these knowledge, no matter how cunning the criminal is, he can't escape my eyes, Qin Tianming, do you understand?"
Gao Yanjiao became frightened the more she listened, and said repeatedly:
"First there is no brain, and now there is the footprint code. I guess Qin Tianming, you have already grasped the clues to the crime? Isn't that right?"
After saying that, Gao Yanjiao looked up at Qin Tianming, hoping that he had really discovered where the criminal was.
For these ordinary people, as long as you show them a little bit of merit, they will immediately ask you to tell the answer, and it is a standard answer.
But for a detective and Kisaku, this is just the beginning.
The subsequent conclusion of the case should be more exciting and bizarre.
Things have just begun!
Qin Tianming looked up at the rock wall and said coldly:
"It's too early to say that I have clues to the crime, so I invited you to go deep into the cave to find out, but you didn't cooperate with me."
After Qin Tianming said this, Gao Yanjiao immediately said:
"Just go, the worst that can happen is that you will be bitten to death by cockroaches, what are you afraid of!?"
