Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 33 33. Clues

With his sense of smell and sight 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.

Studded leather gloves were playing with the scattered pieces of meat, and his brain was analyzing 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 has good texture and is interesting."

The young man muttered to himself, which helped him to clear his mind.

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 did penetrate 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.

This man's methods showed that he was not only an experienced fighter, but also an experienced murderer who could watch the victim's dying process up close.

Lan En dug out the victim's shoes from the mess.

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.

"Based on the size of the shoes, the victim was about 170 centimeters tall."

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.

After obtaining this information with difficulty, Lan En finally understood why he was convinced that this was a "cannibalism case."

The young man held a large arm bone in his hand, and his fingers brushed over the pale bones.

"The tooth marks are not those of a ghoul, they are human."

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.

Therefore, according to the opening and closing of human upper and lower jaws, it can bite on the upper arm, and the teeth deeply touch the bone.

Before the ghouls "processed" the body, the wound must have been even more shocking.

"brute."

Lan En said the conclusion calmly.

This tone was not an angry scolding, but a statement of facts.

The murderer is no longer human in terms of self-awareness.

Since there was no valuable information, Lan En grabbed a handful of bloodless soil on the ground and wiped his hands, stood up from a squatting position and walked out.

Now, the team members led by Philip Strenger were standing outside the wooden house because of the news of the battle.

As the captain and the person with the highest position, the strong Philip was cursing.

"Did you idiots crawl out from the belly of evil spirits?!"

No one in the team dared to look at him when he was cursing, even though he was still rubbing his forehead because of his hangover.

"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?"

He walked around the team members, getting angrier as he talked.

They are a group of veterans who have just come out of the war army in Temeria to support the restoration of Hydaris to the throne, and returned home to serve the local lords.

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.

"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!"

No one dared to reply to him at this time.

The official rank is overwhelming, let alone an official position in the army.

But there are also students who are dissatisfied with the teacher's training, let alone a group of sergeants.

A voice timidly appeared in the dead silence.

"If you ask me, it's the witcher's fault. People say witchers bring bad luck, and I'm absolutely right. This corpse was fine in the past few days, but now it's gone as soon as he comes."

"Hey! Be respectful." Halberdier York's voice immediately appeared, confronting him tit for tat.

"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.

But now the force of these words could not even break his defense.

So the young man just nodded to the halberdier who spoke for him.

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.

"I'm sorry we didn't keep the clues, these idiots have slacked off too much now."

He examined himself first, then rubbed his hands and cast an expectant look at Lan En.

"But York just said that you can find any clues in that pile of wreckage. Is it true?"

"What should I say?" The young man was also cleaning the dirt on his hands at this moment. He seemed to be thinking of the mess in the house and unconsciously grinded his teeth.

"The pieces were really broken."

"Oh." Phillip's disappointment was visible to the naked eye, but this result was really expected.

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.

Asking them is better than worshiping gods.

Come on, Jazz's mission is gone.

Phillip 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.

"But it's not like there's no information."

Um? !

The tall and strong officer turned around suddenly while holding on to his helmet.

"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 nothing else. And he had been hungry for a long time when he killed this man."

The young man patted the dust on his palms and recounted the results of his investigation calmly.

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.

There are few clues, and they were ruined by ghouls. Can it really provide so much information?

Isn't this guy trying to cheat money?

Lan En, who was still talking leisurely, seemed to have taken his concerns into consideration.

"That guy has 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 go 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.”

The order was clear, and now Philip's doubts completely disappeared.

The sergeants behind him, including York, who had 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.

"Besides, he may be a foreigner." When saying this, Lan En was unusually hesitant.

After all, he claimed to be an outsider yesterday, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

Philip, worthy of his position, sensed this at once.

"What is this, Master Witcher?"

"Because he is a foreigner, he doesn't know the significance of Dunham, so he would commit murder here."

Bernie had told Lan about Durnham's situation when they were still in Auriden.

Although it is a place where the residents' beliefs converge, it is actually the intersection of several roads.

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.

The statues are of a carefree girl, a pregnant woman with maternal love, and a hunched old woman.

A meager amount of food, belongings, etc. is left there and some is taken away by passers-by who are in need.

When he is able to repay it in the future, he will also offer it to Meritelli again.

Therefore, if Du Enhan is not in the sacrificial period, there is really nothing special about him.

As a result, unsuspecting outsiders may risk public outrage and kill people on the spot.
