In the past subtle influence, they had already recognized Dean's ability and status in their hearts, and subconsciously regarded him as the dominant.

And this subtle influence has begun to spread to the surrounding branches.

Because Holz recognized the identity of the deceased immediately.

So the crime scene was blocked very timely.

Bring everyone with you.

Dean changed into his equipment and entered the circled crime scene. He did not approach the body as soon as possible, but observed the surroundings.

From far to near, from left to right, all the information around him seemed to be digitally presented in Dean's mind and classified.

Seeing him standing still, Holds curiously, "Dean, what are you looking at?"

"Listen to the feedback nature gives me."

Dean pointed to the fallen leaves of varying depths around: "Did you see those traces? This means that people often come and go in this area, especially under the big tree where the deceased is located, there are more than five people of different heights standing in place for a long time within three days."

Everyone followed the traces of Dean's finger and turned around in a daze.

Even the senior forensic doctor, Holz shrugged and couldn't say: "Sorry, I can only see that there are many footprints here, but I can't see the time left, nor can I point out what they are doing here."

Dean rolled his eyes: "Didn't you notice the small umbrellas around the footprints? Looking at the footprints, the footprints obviously exceed the normal length of the soles of the feet. It was obvious that someone was holding a big tree and was output from behind."

After saying this, everyone suddenly realized.

Harry, especially, looked vulgar: "By the way, there is a university nearby. The person who found the body is the students who came out of the school to run in the morning. These young people with hormonal sensation like to exercise in this kind of place for excitement."

Dean ignored Harry, who was playing tricks, and after collecting information around him, he quickly walked to the corpse and looked at it.

The deceased's name is Mike Smith.

He was originally a psychology expert and professor who would be looked at by respect everywhere he went, but now he looked quite miserable.

He lowered his head and was covered with hemp ropes, like the performance art of a certain country, and was tied up professionally, showing a stiff and straight posture of kneeling down as a whole.

At the end of the rope is the big tree above the head.

Someone used a pulley set to hang him here, tied him up to what he is now and threw him on the ground.

The surface of the corpse was covered with scars, and the calves that were close to the ground were penetrated by two slender steel bars, connecting to the ropes on the tree, fixing him to what he is now.

Dean looked carefully at the scars on Mike Smith's body.

There were more than fifty traces of all sizes, all of which were scars with small wounds, but deep bones could be seen, and there were traces of treatment and stop bleeding around them.

And under these scars, there are countless old scars of all sizes.

Dean has only seen such traces in some hard bones who are often interrogated.

besides.

Mike Smith's body surface has large pieces of flake purple.

This is the blood stasis caused by the rope binding for too long.

This symptom will only appear on living people and leave such traces after death.

This means that the deceased was put into this shape when he was alive.

Dean touched his chin.

No wonder Mengen regarded this murder case as a major case.

Because when anyone sees the body, his first reaction is that someone tortured and forced Mike Smith to confess.

It is estimated that Meng En regarded the murderer as an enemy of the Aston family.

But Dean had some different opinions.

He felt the smell of resentment from the dead's posture of death.

This is a vendetta!

But more information is needed.

Dean completed the basic visual inspection, squatted down and began to examine Mike Smith's limbs.

The fingers of your hands are bent and the knuckles are indented, which means that this guy's knuckles are only connected to the epidermis, and the inside has become independent.

Such neat indentation, like a blunt-shaped device, is difficult to achieve by just manpower.

The legs and legs are penetrated by steel bars.

There are not many muscles in the calf, most of which are made of membranes and bones.

Without looking, you can also know that the steel bars directly penetrate Mike Smith's calf muscles and bones, nailing him to the ground.

There are diffusion indentation marks at the top of the steel bar, which is caused by mechanical forging and compression.

This kind of machine is generally very heavy.

But strangely, there were no traces of machine dragging around.

Dean took this doubt in his heart and raised Mike Smith's lower head.

A face that looked like a smile was presented to everyone.

Harry had a weird look and muttered, "This guy has suffered such miserable treatment and can even laugh. Is he a masochist?"

Holz, who was beside him, gave him a blank look: "Did you see the small dot on his face? It was a paper clip. Someone used a paper clip to fix his expression to what he is now!"

Dean nodded in agreement: "Holz is right. This technique is not easy. Those who start are absolutely proficient in human body structure. Maybe they have certain attainments in plastic surgery."

Mike Smith's eyes widened, and combined with a smile-like expression, gave people a strange sense of fanaticism.

Dean looked down and looked carefully.

There were traces of solidified glue around the eyelids of the deceased.

In order to force him to see something he didn't want to see, the murderer kept the deceased open.

This made Dean's observation convenient.

The time when the other party died is now more than 12 hours ago, the crystals have spread turbidly, and the whites of the eyes are almost gone, and they are all occupied by the eyes.

After long-term observation, people feel fear and evil for no reason.

But for a pervert like Dean who has been sleeping in a pile of corpses since he was a child, this is not even an appetizer.

He noticed that Mike Smith had signs of burning his cornea.

This is the damage caused by ultraviolet rays to the cornea, which usually occurs in patients with snow blindness.

But Los Angeles is now in the cold January season, with short sun exposure and mostly gloomy weather, so even if the eyelids of the deceased are fixed with glue, there should not be such a severe burning mark.

Unless, he has been exposed to strong light for a long time!

This method is generally used to torture confessions.

Dean stood up and looked at the professional knots on the deceased's body, painful but not fatal wounds, and his professionally fixed facial expression fell into deep thought.

According to clues.

The murderer is a professional person who punishes and commits confessions. He is very familiar with human tissues, is very familiar with the means of punishment, and has had grudges with the deceased, so he spent a lot of effort to torture the deceased.

But there is one thing that Dean can't figure it out.

Why did the other party put the deceased in a half-kneeling position?

Do more, make more mistakes!

Professionals, in general, rarely do extra moves because it means that the possibility of leaving clues becomes greater.

If you can figure out this doubt, you may find the exact idea!

Robert, who was playing soy sauce, kicked the fallen leaves beneath his feet bored.

He actually wanted to learn something from Dean too.

But he stared for a long time and couldn't see what Dean was observing.

Robert had to admit that some things are the same as mathematics. If you don’t know, you don’t know. If you pretend to behave, you still don’t know.

The same is true for Old Hunter.

In the past, these things were left to the forensic department for investigation.

At most, they collect some traces and then focus on investigating the identity of the deceased, their surrounding relationships, conflicts, etc.

But Dean directly snatched Holz's job, and was undoubtedly a freak detective.

He was about to pull Robert out to smoke a cigarette, but his lowered head suddenly shrank and he pulled Robert: "Hey, there seems to be something underneath!"

I saw the fallen leaves kicked away by Robert, and the color of the soil was significantly different from the surroundings.

No matter how stupid Old Hunter is, he knows that something is buried underneath.

His exclamation attracted the attention of Dean and others.

Dean saw the soil under Robert's feet, looked at the direction of the corpse kneeling and his eyes lit up: "Get the tools and dig!"

Not long.
