Chapter 316: Violent Murder
"OMG."
Wu Qingluan was stunned at the moment, her eyes full of fear and shock, and Shang Lu couldn't help but exclaimed after seeing the scene: "How cruel is this?"
The victim was not on the bed at the moment, but lying on her back on the ground. She was only wearing a thin nightgown. The original color of the nightgown could not be seen because it had been stained red with blood. Her face was also covered with blood, half of her tongue was sticking out, and her eyes were wide open, making people feel like she was staring at them like a ghost.
With such a large amount of bleeding, Shang Lu and the others could not tell where the wound was that caused so much bleeding. In order to avoid disturbing the scene, Gu Nankai stopped Wu Qingluan, Gao Yuan and Li Meng at the door and did not let them in. Instead, he said, "You three don't need to come in. Leave the rest to Shang Lu and me. Go and confirm the victim's information and ask the onlookers outside about their impression of this family."
Gao Yuan and the others were not professionals in this field, and they couldn't help but sigh that it would be great if Cao Cang was here at this time. He was a trace expert and could definitely find some evidence that was overlooked by everyone. But then they thought, their boss is an all-rounder, and their presence here might disturb him and Shang Lu. After listening to him, they went with Wu Qingluan to investigate the situation of this family.
After they left, Gu Nankai walked up. At this time, Shang Lu was already squatting on the ground and began to check.
"The time of death is after the first two victims. It seems that the murderer started from the second floor and moved up one by one." Shang Lu spoke first as he squatted down.
"This tongue..." Gu Nankai nodded in agreement and suddenly frowned when he saw something different. As he spoke, Shang Lu focused his attention on the half-extended tongue of the victim. The two looked at each other solemnly, and then turned their gaze to the face covered in blood.
The tongue is broken.
"The murderer had a strong hatred for the victim. She didn't bite her tongue off herself. It was cut off by someone with a pair of scissors." Shang Lu felt the hairs on his body stand up as he spoke. Normally, if he accidentally bit his tongue while eating, he would feel pain for a few days. Now the victim in front of him actually had her tongue cut off by someone. How damn painful must that be!
"Look, there are abrasions on the corners of the victim's mouth. They should be left when the murderer cut off her tongue." Shang Lu cleaned the blood from the corners of the victim's mouth, and soon the wound she mentioned was revealed. Gu Nankai lowered his head and took a look, and it was consistent with what Shang Lu said.
"Tsk tsk, this is too cruel."
Shang Lu examined it and soon sighed again. The two of them got closer to the body and found that the clothes on the body were covered with cut marks. Now when they lifted the clothes, they saw that the body was covered with knife marks. Except for the blood from the cut tongue, the rest of the blood should be from these wounds, because Gu Nankai and others had already found that one of the wounds was in the femoral artery.
"What was the cause of death?"
Even Gu Nankai was thinking at this moment that the murderer was obviously venting his anger when treating the victim. So what was the relationship between the victim and the murderer? Did the murderer originally just want to kill the victim, and the rest of the people suffered only because of an accident at that time?
But after thinking about it, Gu Nankai felt something was wrong. Just at this moment, Shang Lu called him. He suppressed the doubts in his heart and quickly listened to Shang Lu's work report to him.
"On the surface, the cause of death was excessive blood loss. It could be due to the tongue or the femoral artery. But whether this is the case or not can only be determined after a specific autopsy." Shang Lu seemed to have thought of something, but did not give a complete conclusion, but said this .
Gu Nankai's mind turned and he seemed to have thought of something.
"You mean, if the murderer died from excessive blood loss, it is still possible for him to struggle or ask for help."
Shang Lu pouted and nodded, "Yes, there is even a short period of time in which he can act. That means if the murderer was present at the time, there must be signs of a struggle between the two people or signs of the victim's actions, but there seems to be no such signs at the scene."
Gu Nankai had already stood up. He walked to the victim's bed, scanned the victim with his sharp eyes, and then said solemnly: "Maybe the victim noticed something at the time, so he got up to check, but he was killed before he even walked out .
After Gu Nankai finished speaking, he picked up a coat on the bed. It seemed that the victim subconsciously wanted to put on her clothes and go out, but perhaps because the situation was urgent, she ended up casually throwing her clothes on the bed and got up and walked out.
"The victim received no signs of assault."
Just as Gu Nankai was still looking around, Shang Lu's voice came again, which made Gu Nankai slightly stunned. Man Shang just hummed. Not long after the two of them finished talking, Gao Yuan's hurried voice came from outside: "Boss, we just found a safe hidden in the study, and the things inside are missing."
Gu Nankai's frown deepened, and he turned to look at Gao Yuan at the door: "Are they all lost?"
Gao Yuan hummed and continued, "The safe was opened violently."
Could it be that he was discovered during a burglary and that’s why he killed the man?
This thought suddenly flashed through the minds of everyone present, but Gu Nankai quickly shook his head. If it was just a home robbery, how could the victims be like this?
Gu Nankai suddenly felt that things were not that simple, and waited until Shang Lu had finished her inspection before he went out with her.
"What did the hospital say about the survivors?"
After they went out, Gu Nankai asked as he walked towards the room of the only survivor. Gao Yuan followed him and Shang Lu and said, "The hospital said that the survivor was not seriously injured, but was scared and is not in a good mental state. He refused to speak even after being asked many questions. But our people are seeing that nothing serious has happened."
After Gao Yuan finished speaking, Shang Lu sighed and said, "That's right. Everyone in my family died overnight. I was scared to death. How good can it be?"
Gu Nankai and Gao Yuan did not comment on this statement. At this time, the three people had already walked into his room. Gao Yuan said, "I heard that the door was locked at that time, so he was able to escape. Otherwise, he would be in great danger now."
"Is the door locked?" Gu Nankai's heart skipped a beat. He stopped and asked Gao Yuan.
"Yes, the nanny was so scared when she saw the body on the second floor that she called the police. When our people checked here, they found that the door was locked. When they went in, they saw the man still asleep. At first he didn't know what happened. He rushed to his sister's room and was shocked when he saw the situation. Then he stumbled to his parents' room. After seeing it, he completely lost consciousness. Our people quickly sent him to the hospital."
"This proves how important it is to lock the door when you sleep at night." Shang Lu couldn't help but sigh. Even so, the three of them still went into the survivor's room to check it out.
"You're already in college and still living at home. How boring."
Soon everyone discovered that the boy was already a sophomore and was studying at an ordinary undergraduate school in Longhai City. Although it was an undergraduate school, it was not very famous.
Gu Nankai was silent. He saw that his room was very tidy. There were many books on the bookcase on one side of the room. It can be seen that this guy loves learning, because he saw that most of the books on the bookcase are professional books, and they have all been read many times. In addition, there are many award-winning trophies, which are enough to prove that this kid's academic performance must be very good.
