Chapter 9 Research on Blood Characters (IV)

"Actually, it's quite simple to guess." He walked to the corpse again and pulled one of the female corpse's arms: "Look, the whole arm is as hard as a wooden stick, and it is slightly bent to the outside. This is not a corpse stasis, but a sign of the cut of the tendon under the armpit, which can completely lose the ability to move the corpse's arms."

As he said that, he pointed to the legs of the corpse as if nothing had happened: "The lower limbs also cut off the inner muscles by the same method. In this way, the deceased was completely slumped on the ground, allowing the murderer to slowly dissect, unable to struggle, or even scream, because the murderer used a hook to destroy the deceased's vocal cords and glottis through the throat."

His tone was the same as chatting, but his words could express an extreme despair and pain.

"And this technique is a beef that has been passed down for a long time in Rochester towns."

"How to eat beef?" Catherine couldn't help but wonder again.

"Yes, in order to ensure the freshness of the meat, their people deal with the living beefs in this way. While cutting meat, they used turtle juice to stop bleeding. During the process, the cow's body kept twitching. It was very interesting, but more than 20 years ago, it was banned by local lawmakers in the name of animal abuse. It was really meddling. But if you want to try it, I can introduce you to a few good underground restaurants, which is a bit expensive." Sherlock said to Catherine with a smile.

"Focus on your case!"

"Okay." Sherlock continued: "In short, the murderer's skillful craftsmanship must not be developed in one or two days. If the arteries under the arm plexus are broken, the victim will soon die of blood loss. The murderer has extremely patient experience and probably enjoys it;

However, those underground restaurants in London cannot provide the necessary environment for this training. The murderer should have his own way, or simply raises large livestock by himself. I tend to be the latter because it is more secretive. The juice of the syrup can stop bleeding well, but long-term contact will cause itching and hair loss in the skin. The close-fitting cotton shirt can effectively relieve this itching.

There is also the mouth of the deceased. I just said that the murderer destroyed the glottis because there was a very obvious tearing mark on his mouth. You should know that when destroying the glottis, the hook needs to be pressed down. Yes, it is difficult to reach that angle without opening the mouth."

No one responded to him, maybe he didn't keep up with his speech speed, or who would know about this kind of thing?

Sherlock didn't care, and his speech speed increased a little: "Anyway, during the dissection, the deceased's face became extremely distorted due to pain and his mouth torn, but the murderer did not tire of tidying up his facial muscles back to normal after that.

I said that it was about five or six o'clock in the morning at that time. During this period, the murderer still insisted on doing this. It was probably because he had a certain obsession with the face of a beautiful woman, similar to "a bad-looking woman is not worthy of being killed by me", and even left eyewitnesses for her.

Such people have a better family background, either they often invite beautiful women to enjoy their homes. This is a more vulgar solution. The more elegant one is to collect some portraits of beautiful women. I even think that they may be very good at painting. Anyway, they can satisfy this hobby and get it on the table. These two methods are the most common."

"But there is no evidence at all what you said, it's just wishful thinking." Katherine seemed to want to refute the other party.

"I didn't say I had evidence." Sherlock smiled: "This is just the most reasonable speculation at this stage. You might as well try to move in this direction. I think you are not the kind of guy who must be sure to catch people before you can catch them."

Oh, by the way, the murderer's right rib was injured. I can be sure of this because there were obvious signs of pause on the sternum incision of the corpse. His arm would shake and his muscles would stick together when he did fine movements horizontally."

Sherlock gestured to cut things with a knife.

This large paragraph of explanation actually contains a lot of content, but it takes a very short time to say it, only about one minute.

Sherlock used a clear tone, but it accelerated three times faster, and he expressed everything in one breath without caring about other people's feelings; it was as if he did not want people to keep up with his ideas and sighed, but he just regarded this ability to reason and analyze as a very sparse and ordinary thing.

Yes, as a detective, it is reasonable to have some reasoning skills. Just sticking at the crime scene for a while, you can see all the information you can guess. This skill is not worth showing off or complimenting.

But the crowd around didn't seem to think so.

For example, Catherine, her expression changed from being calm and cold at the beginning to being meditative little by little, and finally became very exciting;

And Deacon Badel, who had been silent, also changed his expression back and forth between frowning and stretching.

To be honest, this was a bit beyond Sherlock's expectations.

Because according to his inherent impression of the people in the Judgment Office, he thought they were the kind of bloody practical people who could directly commit cruel pursuits by just knowing the name of the murderer. Unexpectedly, he would listen carefully to his inferences.

Even at the end, he nodded slightly, which shows that he kept up with his own ideas and gave a positive statement after digesting a lot of information.

Instead, the young sheriff wrapped in steam armor outside the alley was confused, only to know that he opened his mouth wide.

"From the scene, I can only speculate on this level, so I said that I don't need me anymore." Sherlock finally brought the topic back to the beginning: "Then I will bring some unsolved questions home and think slowly, which is the most helpful behavior at this moment."

Catherine hesitated for a moment, and exchanged her eyes back and forth between the corpse on the ground and Sherlock several times, finally landing on Deacon Badell's face. She paused for a few seconds, as if reading the thoughts of this wife.

After a while, she slowly spoke:

"Remember, you have less than 20 hours left. If you succeed, you will naturally be grateful to the church, but if you fail, you will also be punished as you deserve."

"Punishment?" Sherlock's tone was not too much doubt: "I am frank, you have given such harsh conditions for solving the case. In fact, it is reasonable to not find the murderer. Why are there still punishments?"

"Suppression makes people focus more on work." Catherine said lightly.

This shows that she knew that these requirements were unreasonable, but she didn't care. There was no reason to punish a civilian. In fact, Sherlock felt that if he could make the murderer appear at this moment, the people here would directly chop him to death without hesitation.

However, such unreasonable behavior, even close to taking human life, seems so reasonable to everyone.

Because this is a crushing gap in social structure, it completely surpasses other factors such as ethics and morality; no one will question why the clergy in the church wanted to kill an innocent person by slashing an innocent person, just like stepping on a weed while walking, and no one will care whether the weed was sentenced to death.

Of course, Sherlock must be lazy to judge the pros and cons of this social level. He is just an ordinary detective, so he smiled politely:

"Can you ask to take me home with a carriage? Lower Town, Baker Street. It's quite far away."
