fog city detective

Chapter 429
Liang Xi was woken up by a phone call in the early morning. It was Karin calling.Karin asked Liang Xi to get up to pee while she was going to work?Of course not, Karin is not that evil, even if she thought about it, she wouldn't attack Liang right now.Karin asked Liang Xi to watch TV.The French and German judiciary held a press conference in Paris.The TV station is broadcasting the explanations of the German and French judiciary on the murder of the three big figures, and it is basically certain that the three died at the hands of the same gang.

The most notable feature is that the three deceased died with collapsible bamboo arrows and foldable bamboo arrows. The arrow body used by the murderer is about 15% shorter than the Olympic standard arrow, and the arrow body can be disassembled into two parts, the arrow part, Part of the arrow body.In addition, there are two murderer's arrows with foldable arrow bodies, which are very easy to hide and carry.

The reason why it is said that the same group of people died, not the same person, is because the German and French police believe that this is an organized crime.Two of the three victims died in relatively safe areas.The murderer carried a bow and arrow through the metal detection gate, thanks to the fact that the bow and arrow did not use any metal materials. The police guessed that the bow used by the murderer should also have no metal parts, and the possibility of easy disassembly cannot be ruled out.

The three deceased were hit by arrows at a distance of 25 to [-] meters from the murderer. Two of them were directly hit in the heart by the arrow branch and died on the spot.Another person was hit by an arrow only two centimeters from his heart.The reason why this person died was because the bodyguards around him subconsciously pinned him down after he was attacked. This tactical action that originally protected him eventually led to his death.

Killing three people within six days not only shows that the criminals are rampant, but also shows that they have accurate intelligence and logistics systems.Accurate intelligence allows them to ambush the target, and the logistics system can assist the murderer to enter the ambush site and evacuate safely.No trace of the killer has been found in the three homicides.

The reporter asked, is it the remnants of the Holy Banner who did what the video said?The police of the two countries answered the reporter's question with the same answer: this possibility is not ruled out, but they hope to investigate the case in the criminal investigation field, not in the political field.

Seeing this, a piece of breaking news was played under the TV.Liang Xi hurriedly switched to the British channel. A reporter was speaking hastily outside the official building. His background was that the military police and the police were driving away the surrounding people and setting up a cordon.According to the reporter, just 10 minutes ago, someone who went to work in the unit was shot by an arrow.According to witnesses interviewed by the reporter, a car stopped in front of the National Defense Building, and a middle-aged man in military uniform got down from the back seat and made a phone call while walking.After getting out of the car, the man closed the door with the hand holding the suitcase, turned around and walked into the building and fell to the ground.Two guards in front of the building immediately stepped forward, one blocked the man, the other called for rescue, and dragged the man into the building.

The reporter explained to the camera that many passers-by said that the injured person fell to the ground after being hit by an arrow, and two passers-by confirmed that the person who was hit by the arrow was a general.At this time, Liang Xi saw Romeo get out of the car from the background, enter the cordon, and stand in front of the building where the wounded was shot and looked back.

Liang Xi called Romeo: "You're on the news."

Romeo glanced at the camera and continued to look around for possible clues: "What do you think?"

Liang Xi said: "The only opinion is to shoot from a high place, and the height is not very high, it is about five to ten meters higher than the target,"

Romeo: "There are hotels, residences, shops, office buildings and an elementary school opposite."

Liang Xidao: "I just watched the press conference on the German-French case. It was said that the shooting distance of the murderer's three killings was between 20 and 27 meters. Skill inertia should be considered. Drawing a bow is different from shooting. Although there is no sound, although it is easy to clean up, But it requires a certain amount of space.” The so-called skill inertia refers to the mental inertia and muscle memory produced by training a goal in a specific field.The simplest thing is to look in the mirror. A boring scientist invented the front mirror. The left hand of the mirror is your left hand. After giving the front mirror to the volunteers for a month, the volunteers still can’t get used to the front mirror.I didn't get used to it until the third month.The damned scientist took the mirror back after getting the data, and the poor volunteers spent another half a month getting familiar with the mirror.

Romeo observed for a while, and said: "I am directly facing the east, and there are four targets at 20-27 meters, but it is a crosswind. The south is downwind."

Liang Xi asked, "Do you think bows and arrows are shot from the side, not from the opposite side?"

Romeo said: "I have handled two murder cases with bows and arrows. The accuracy of bows and arrows is not as good as that of guns. When shooting the target from the front and back, if the target is moving, there is a certain chance of being injured and not dead. The side is different. The possibility of visceral organs is extremely high. Basically, you are killed by an arrow. However, in both cases, the shooting distance was more than 40 meters."

Liang Xi said: "According to what you said, if the target's arm is lowered, it may block the arrow."

Romeo said: "Yes. I don't think the front side, the front side and the back side are the best killing angles of the bow and arrow. It should be the oblique side, the oblique side from the front and the oblique side from the back."

Liang Xi said: "Are you thinking too much? At the press conference, the cause of death of the two deceased was an arrow in the heart. One of the deceased was only a few centimeters away from the arrow."

Romeo was noncommittal, and said: "For a shooting distance of 20-27 meters, you should choose a crossbow. Why do you choose feather arrows?"

Liang Xi: "You think the murderer is a professional archer."

Romeo didn't answer: "Come here, I'll wait for you."

"No, I just saw you and couldn't resist discussing it with you." Liang Xi said, "The German and French police must have committed the crime in a team. The methods are very professional, and the targets are all powerful people. I don't want... Phil? Wasn't Phil shot by an arrow?"

A car drove into the blockade, and the TV camera naturally followed and captured it.Liang Xi saw Phil who was not wearing a military uniform but a black coat.This coat is very shapely and is very suitable for middle-aged uncles. The disadvantage is that the weight of a piece of clothing is close to one kilogram.

Preconceived ideas kill people. When Liang Xi learned that a general had been shot by an arrow, he immediately guessed that it was Phil.Seeing Phil walking towards Romeo, Liang Xi immediately hung up the phone. He didn't want to talk to Phil, and he was easily caught.It can be seen from the live TV footage that Phil's personal guard was very nervous, walking sideways, trying to block Phil's body as much as possible.

The archer killer has arrived in London?Is there anything in common between the four shooters?Pooh, I can't think about this issue, otherwise I will enter the quagmire of suspense.Liang Xi quite admired Romeo. Romeo didn't care about the identity of the person who shot the arrow. Once he arrived at the scene, he entered the state of criminal investigation, captured the wind direction, and speculated on the location of the shooting.

Perhaps the culprit behind the scenes is also a powerful person, but the murderer will definitely not be a powerful person.Therefore, if we search from the common point of the victims, at most we can only find the culprit behind the scenes.Without finding the murderer, it is impossible to testify against the culprit behind the scenes.Obviously Romeo figured out this joint faster than himself.Leaving aside the victim's identity, Liang Xi is still quite interested in the case.The victim was a general on behalf of many people who will lie to you with information they think they need to withhold.

Why use a bow and arrow?Maybe you need a bow and arrow to cross the metal gate, but why are you still using a bow today?To show the characteristics of a serial killer, or is there only one murderer who can only use bows and arrows but not guns?Thinking of the details of the case, Liang Xi also became interested in related knowledge such as bow and arrow tailwind and headwind.

Liang Xi made a phone call: "Bobby, do you know any professional archers?"

Bobby: "Hey, you just came back from Reading yesterday, can't you take two days off?"

Liang Xi said: "You don't need to participate." Please run away?

Bobby: "How can I not participate? Take a day off, and today I asked a girl to discuss the destruction of the indoor heated swimming pool on the earth's environment."

Liang Xi said: "But this is a serial murder case. I want to rest, but the murderer may not want to rest. The four cases spanned Germany, Britain and France, and the dead were all dignitaries."

Bobby was silent for a while, not knowing whom to tell: "Tell Kate, I'm going to the company to hold a very important board meeting today, and I'll make an appointment with her another day."

The bodyguard said in a long voice, "Miss Kate has arrived."

"More urgent than me?" Bobby said, "Liang Xi, I'll contact you after I get this done."

"Is 3 minutes enough?"

"That's you, I need three hours here, why don't you just come to my house for lunch at noon."

"It's okay to brag and not pay taxes!" Liang Xi went to bed very late yesterday, so he was not in a hurry.As far as the current situation is concerned, the murderer should not strike again within these few hours.Perhaps he is preparing to leave the UK, so which country will the next victim appear in?

Wow!Thinking of this, Liang Xi suddenly admired the murderer.Although it was a serial murder case, the police from the three countries did not unite, so it was difficult to catch the murderer's tail.The police of the three countries want to jointly handle the case, but the procedures are also a problem.In addition, who offered to jointly handle the case?Who is hosting the case?This is not bureaucratic wrangling, but a matter of which country the murderer will be interrogated and even tried after the murderer is captured.Originally, it was not so particular. The European Union has a criminal court in charge of transnational crimes within the European Union, but Britain is not a member of the European Union now.

According to international regulations, the murderer committed a crime in the UK, and Germany and France will cooperate to provide the murderer's information to the UK.But the UK is too close, and it is impossible to say that they are already on their way back to Germany and France.

"Hello?" Liang Xi answered the phone and exclaimed, "It will be done in 2 minutes?" Meet, undress, and end?

Bobby almost fainted: "The girl I'm dating happens to be a professional archer."

……

Kate is a blond beauty. After spending a long time with Bobby, Liang Xi has become tired of such beauties.Without exception, blond hair and blue eyes, medium and low-cut tights, and showing off without revealing a little bit of money will be sorry for the title of beauty.

A long table was placed on the lawn of the mansion, covered with a white tablecloth, and placed with flowers and fruits, which looked more upscale than a Michelin restaurant.Bobby is wearing a white casual outfit with Kate in a red skirt suit. At least on the surface, the two look very good.

After introducing each other and sitting down, Liang Xi lied about a previous case and asked Kate for advice on archery.

In many countries, including the big eastern countries, bows and arrows are not controlled products.The brother of the bow and arrow, the crossbow, is a controlled product, which is said to be because the crossbow is more lethal.Kate completely disagreed with this statement. She told Liang Xi that the reason why the crossbow would be controlled was because a novice could learn to use the crossbow within a few hours, and it could guarantee a fairly high hit rate.An archer who has not been trained for several years has a very low hit rate when shooting a human target at a distance of 30 meters.

Kate believes that bows and arrows can instantly kill crossbow arrows in terms of lethality and range.Kate explained two kinds of bows and arrows, one is the traditional British longbow, the projectile type of the longbow group, its killing distance can reach more than 300 meters, after flying 300 meters, the bow and arrow can still penetrate the medieval chain mail.The other is the direct type that is common in modern times, and the typical representative is the Olympic Games.In some countries, such as Japan, Greece and other countries, they have shooting competitions over 100 meters in their homeland.These games test the accuracy of the throw and the physical fitness of the players.

Kate said: "The Olympic competition uses a recurve bow, which can be said to be the simplest and most accurate bow at close range. The recurve bow has a crosshair, while the compound bow is a peephole."

Under Kate's introduction, Liang Xi basically understood that bows and arrows are close range within 30 meters, and compound bows are more suitable for direct shooting at 70-100 meters.While operable, a compound bow requires far more force than a recurve bow to shoot a target within 30 meters.It can be inferred from this that the murderer used a recurve bow.However, compound bows are easier to disassemble than recurve bows, and disassembly of modern professional recurve bows is very troublesome.

Kate said: "Unless you are using an ancient traditional recurve bow. With yew wood as the bow body and modern bow strings, the lethality is not much worse than that of modern recurve bows." Traditional bows have been recurved in the Middle Ages. Bow fully replaced.

Liang Xi explained the situation at the scene of the crime. Kate said: "There are many differences between bows, crossbows and guns. After the bow and arrow are shot, the arrow body will vibrate, with a higher parabola. We can't see it with the naked eye, but in fact there are. Therefore, ancient people generally used bamboo arrows with strong toughness. Bamboo arrows have many advantages, but because of the vibration of the arrow body, the accuracy is lower than the current carbon arrows. In addition, professional players will customize their own arrows because they need to match their own bows. "

Kate said: "I don't think your detective friend is right. The shortest archery distance in the Olympic Games is 30 meters. It is basically unnecessary to consider the wind direction for more than 20 meters, unless the wind is very strong."

Liang Xi asked, "You mean the murderer doesn't need to consider the direction and force of the wind."

Kate nodded: "Yes, when I hunt less than 30 meters, I don't even consider the environmental parameters."

Liang Xi asked, "What about the height?"

Kate replied: "Professional athletes are all parallel lines, there is no such thing as height."

While talking, the maid brought up the red wine, first gave Kate a glass of red wine, Kate reached out to take it, hummed softly, but still took the red wine.Kate explained this to the two: "Sports injuries. Archers may have injuries to their shoulders and fingers. Fortunately, they are all muscle strains. Chronic diseases such as frozen shoulder do not hinder sports and competitions in the short term. "

Bobby said: "I heard that all athletes who can win medals in the Olympics basically have more or less injuries."

Kate nodded: "I have always agreed with a point of view that some Olympic sports have become deformed competitive sports, and the results of many sports are at the expense of destroying the athletes' bodies. For example, weightlifting was kicked out of the Olympic Games."

Liang Xi questioned: "I heard that weightlifting being kicked out of the Olympics is a conspiracy by the Yankees."

Kate smiled noncommittally, and said: "Maybe, but I know it is not the case. The main reason is that weightlifting is the hardest hit area for stimulants. Many international weightlifting mats have been changed, but there is no way to solve this problem. Drugs have a strong impact on weightlifting. The impact of performance is very large, far exceeding other events. Many countries not only fail to provide athletes with a good training environment, but also concentrate on researching drugs that can resist detection. The secondary reason is that weightlifters in many countries start professional training from adolescence. Their physical injuries were enormous and only a lucky few of them made it to the international stage."
