Chapter 33 33. Clues
With his sense of smell and vision beyond ordinary people operating at full strength, from Lan En's perspective, the entire world 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. It should be the passage where the monsters came in, a hole in the ground.
He fiddled with the pieces of meat with his studded leather gloves, and his brain analyzed 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 is still there. The sharp double-edged dagger is of good quality and interesting."
The young man talked to himself, which helped him to clarify his thoughts.
The [Trace Detection] skill is not enough, but when it comes to investigating crimes, can I still watch two thousand episodes of Conan in vain?
"Is the angle at which the murder weapon penetrated the heart Mentos the same as I thought?"
The wisdom in his mind responded to Lan En's low voice.
"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. A veteran."
Inexperienced humans will have shortness of breath, trembled wrists, and sharply reduced field of vision when fighting for the first time.
After all, he claimed to be a foreigner yesterday, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.
Leave a meager amount of food, belongings, etc. there, and passers-by in need will take some away.
Philip was very excited when he heard it at first. This was because his mission had been fulfilled!
But then, as Lan En's description became more and more detailed, his expression began to hesitate.
When he is able to repay it in the future, he will offer it to Meritelli again.
"But York just said that you can find any clues in that pile of debris. Is it true?"
No one dared to reply to him at this time.
"Because he is a foreigner, he doesn't know the significance of Dunham, so he would commit murder here."
And now, it seems that the errand is going to go wrong!
Thinking of this, Philip finally simply grabbed the armor around a soldier's neck with his right hand and pulled him to him.
"Hey! Be respectful." Halberdier York's voice immediately appeared, confronting him tit for tat.
Since there was no valuable information, Lan En grabbed some bloodless soil on the ground and wiped his hands, stood up from a squatting position and walked out.
Come on, Jazz's mission is gone.
"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 a stage where he can only eat human flesh and cannot eat anything else.
And he had been hungry for a long time when he killed this man."
Lan En dug out the victim's shoes from the mess.
The statues are of a carefree girl, a loving pregnant woman, and a hunched old woman.
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.
He walked around the team members, getting angrier as he talked.
"Did you idiots crawl out from the belly of evil spirits?!"
"brute."
Asking them is better than worshiping gods.
"What is this, Master Witcher?"
Although it is a place where residents' beliefs converge, it is actually the intersection of several roads.
"Based on the size of the shoes, the victim is about 170 centimeters tall."
The young man held a large arm bone in his hand and brushed his fingers over the pale bones.
"The tooth marks are not those of a ghoul, they are human."
You cannot judge a person's height by looking at a person's upper body, because most people's upper bodies are the same length, and the two legs are the source of the height gap.
So the young man just nodded to the halberdier who spoke for him.
Now, the team members led by Philip Strenger were standing outside the wooden house because of the noise of the battle.
"You don't want to spend the night with a rotting corpse, right? Then do you want to become that rotting corpse yourself!? Ah? Talk!"
But some students are dissatisfied with teachers' training, let alone a group of sergeants.
They are a group of veterans who have just come out of Temeria's war army to support Hydaris' restoration of the throne, and returned to their hometown to serve the local lords.
When he was cursing, no one in the team dared to look at him, even if he was still rubbing his forehead because of his hangover.
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.
At this time, Phillip also let go of the sergeant in his hand, held his helmet, and walked to Lan En with a solemn expression.
The first level of official rank is overwhelming, let alone an official position in the army.
But now the force of his words could not even break his defense.
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.
Fortunately, these three ghouls weren't so hungry that they even chewed the tanned leather, otherwise they wouldn't even be able to keep these shoes.
A voice timidly appeared in the dead line.
He first examined himself, then rubbed his hands and cast an expectant look at Lan En.
The murderer is no longer human in terms of self-awareness.
Before the ghoul "processed" the body, the wound must have been even more shocking.
"Besides, he may be a foreigner." When saying this, Lan En was unusually hesitant.
"Yes, if you ask me, it's the witcher's fault. People say that witchers bring bad luck. I think it's absolutely right. This corpse was fine in the past few days, but now it's gone as soon as he comes."
The tall and strong officer turned around suddenly while holding on to his helmet.
Isn't this guy trying to cheat money?
Lan En, who was still talking leisurely, seemed to have taken his concerns into consideration.
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 carp waiting to be fed in the pond.
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.
The order was clear, and now Philip's doubts completely disappeared.
"The Demon Hunter 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 heard what he just said.
Therefore, according to the opening and closing of human upper and lower jaws, it can bite on the upper arm with the teeth touching the bone deeply.
Philip, worthy of his position, noticed this at once.
Bernie had told Lan about Durnham's situation while they were still in Auriden.
There are very few clues, and they were ruined by ghouls. Can they really provide so much information?
"I'm sorry we didn't keep the clues, these idiots are too slack now."
"The pieces were really broken."
As the captain and the person with the highest position, the strong Philip was cursing.
"How should I say?" The young man was also cleaning the dust on his hands at this moment. He seemed to be thinking of the mess in the house and unconsciously grinded his teeth.
The young man patted the dust on his palms and recounted the results of his investigation calmly.
This tone is not an angry scolding, but a statement of facts.
"Oh." Phillip's disappointment was visible to the naked eye, but this result was expected.
"But the information is not lacking."
"That guy had 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 bone directly. He was too hungry.
. And a person who owns a dagger that can be rubbed between bones without even dropping any iron filings can have a full meal anywhere even if it is a temporary mortgage. So there is no doubt that he only eats
Human flesh.”
"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?"
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.
Um?!
Lan En said his conclusion calmly.
After obtaining this information with difficulty, Lan En finally understood why he was convinced that this was a "cannibalism case."
Therefore, if Du Enhan is in the non-sacrificial period, there is really nothing special about him.
As a result, unsuspecting outsiders may risk public outrage and kill people on the spot.
