North American Detective: I Am Proficient In All Kinds of American IAI

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

Harry looked at Holz with a look of 'you think we are fools'.

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

He led the crowd to a projection, and played out traces of old wounds:

"See if those punctures hurt.

I've seen it before.

This is the result of a European torture device called a bone nail, which appeared in the Middle Ages and was a favorite of those inquisitions.

And this jagged wound.

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

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

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

In this situation, even with modern medical support, it has to be accumulated over the years to survive until now, otherwise no one can survive it. "

Holz 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 many 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 the follow-up torture caused by excessive injuries.

If it wasn't for the terrible 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's body, are all caused by ancient European torture tools?"

Holz nodded: "I sent an email to ask a lot of 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, forming a huge square photo wall, appeared in front of everyone.

Holz took out the laser pointer and circled the areas one by one:

"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 from before.

On 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 can survive after suffering 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. "

Holz 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 most likely a private preparation, but I can probably guess the effect through the ingredients.

Strong heart + calm! "

A hint of excitement flashed in Holz's eyes:

"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 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 eyes that are fixed and cannot be closed.

Can you guess what other cruel things the murderer did? "

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

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

They didn't dare to go any further.

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

In this way, at least it can appear that his thinking is not so perverted.

Dean didn't disappoint him.

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!

Therefore, 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 that I think, but the truth!

He posted the last photo.

Here's a high-definition close-up of the eye:

In the diffused and smeared black eyes, in the thin burns, there are dots of blood scattered.

Brown and red.

There is actually a strange 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 said a little speechlessly: "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.

It's probably because the consciousness doesn't want to live anymore, but the body feels that it can still be rescued, ignoring the control of the consciousness on the body, and making some uncontrollable reactions

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

People have limits.

Dean prefers that Mike Smith is physically and mentally broken, 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?"

Holz was enjoying the disgusted disgusted expression of everyone in Old Hunter. Hearing this, he grinned and was about to click on 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 stuff has a lot of protein, and it might taste good with some mustard or ketchup," Holz countered.

yue~

Harry covered his mouth and exited the screening room.

Holz 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. His bones were all broken, his internal organs were damaged, and he bled to death.

Here's 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 penance pose.

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

And where he died, there are often students who sneak over to find the excitement of fighting in the wild.

There's nothing hidden about this place.

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 simply wanted Mike Smith to kneel down and repent.

So there is a high possibility that the murderer is the dog owner! "

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 felt that this hairy man was a bit imitating his actions and speech today.

"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 will identify, the same will deduce criminal psychology

Holz seems to be not as tall, handsome, strong, long and other external factors as Dean, but the habit of talking 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 damn place, there are girls at his mercy, every day, but they are all giants with missing arms and legs

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.”

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

talking.

He took out a transparent bag from the projection stand.

Inside the bag 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 it is far away, the owner will also need to pay a loss fee.

This discovery made the old Hunter very excited!

"Who is the owner of the dog?"

Holz had a strange expression: "Mike Smith's dog 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 that the same as not calling yourself?

Ordinary criminals may make such mistakes.

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

For those who are accomplished in anatomy are compelled to acquire some very fine habits.

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

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

Holz isn't stupid either.

When he heard Dean's words, 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?"

Holz shook his head and explained:

"Dean, modern cults often carve unique tattoo marks on certain parts of the body for a sense of identity, but on Mike Smith, there are 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, and I will take the guys to Mike Smith's residence to check to see if we can find any clues.

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

Holz nodded a little disappointed.

He found that he and Dean were really just an ultra-low-profile version.

Leave the forensic department.

The crowd divided into two groups.

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

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

Leave the quarantine point tomorrow afternoon.

Good night.
