Infernal Hero

Chapter 248 Expert Sees Door Way

At two o'clock in the afternoon, inside the suite on the ninth floor of Jianye Hotel.

The deceased was a middle-aged man. The posture of his death was very strange. He knelt on the ground with his left thumb in a circle. His right thumb was inserted from the tiger's mouth of his left hand. The other four fingers hugged his left hand and formed a seal. His hands were placed on his knees as if he was performing a religious kneeling ceremony. However, what was puzzling was that the deceased's entire body was drenched in water, his eyes were wide open, his eyes were completely split open, and his face was filled with extreme indignation. Drops of water dripped down the ends of his hair, forming a pool of water on the ground.

When Gu Tianyou arrived with his real identity, Dai Xiaolou and a group of old criminal investigators from the main brigade were analyzing the cause of the deceased's death. Professor Li was also invited to the scene. The forensic doctor, Wu Weiguo, was personally conducting an autopsy to search for the cause of death and determine the time of death.

When Li Yunqing saw Gu Tianyou, he immediately waved his hand and said, "Come and take a look. This person is the owner of the jeep last night. The hotel surveillance three days ago showed that he drove the jeep into and out of the hotel parking lot."

Gu Tianyou said yes and walked over to carefully examine the deceased.

Commissar Luan Xueping said, "Could it be that someone used a fatal acupuncture point to kill him? If so, I'm afraid it's very difficult to make an accurate judgment with the naked eye."

"That's possible," Dai Xiaolou said, "but I still prefer drugs to death. I just don't know what drugs can drain a person's body of water."

Wu Weiguo, the old director of the Public Security Fire Hospital, raised his head and said, "As far as I know, there is no such medicine. But you are right, the deceased did die of dehydration."

Professor Li Yunqing said: "This person's posture is very strange, as if he was performing some kind of religious ritual and died in a very cruel punishment."

Gu Tianyou looked around the room. This was a one-bedroom, one-bathroom suite. The deceased knelt in the living room. The furniture in the room couldn't be seen to be damaged. There were no obvious signs of fighting on the surrounding walls or on the ground. The bathroom door was open, and the space inside was clear at a glance. There was no sign of dragging the corpse. The body of the deceased was soaked, but the water came from his body.

"This person died of exhaustion!" Gu Tianyou made his own judgement based on the current situation. "This person used all of his strength to stand up. He was holding a sword art in his hand. He wanted to use his hand to replace the sword, but in the end, he was unable to pierce through the sword. His entire body was soaked in sweat and he eventually died of dehydration. The human body technique he used was amazing, and his control of strength was at its peak. If it wasn't for the fact that he wanted to force a confession, he wouldn't have died so painfully."

These words were a bit hard to believe. Even though everyone present was knowledgeable, it was still very difficult for them to form an intuitive recognition of such a killing method.
"Can you be more specific?" Dai Xiaolou frowned.

Gu Tianyou said, "The deceased should be a Japanese man, between forty and fifty years of age, Proficient in Sword Dao, The cause of death is dehydration, "Specifically, this person was slowly squeezed out of his body. During the process of death, he could clearly feel death approaching. The pain caused by organ failure was completely endured by him. That's why his expression was so ferocious. Therefore, I think this person experienced a very terrible extortion of a confession in his lifetime."

Luan Xueping questioned, "Isn't this a bit unbelievable? Can our special investigation team produce more concrete evidence to prove your claim?"

Gu Tianyou smiled and said, "As long as the murderer has cultivated, it is still possible. If you find it hard to believe, I can demonstrate it to you on the spot."

Luan Xueping really wanted to be serious and asked, "How do you plan to demonstrate it to me?" He had signed up to join the Special Investigation Group, but unfortunately, he was unable to do so. Actually, Gu Tianyou's selection had always been hard to understand, let alone be convinced.

Everyone present was also curious about Gu Tianyou's words, so no one objected. They all silently watched.

"It's very simple," Gu Tianyou said. "I put my hand on top of your head. You'll be sweating profusely in 30 seconds. In a minute, you'll feel panicked and short of breath. If you continue, you won't need to be dehydrated for 10 minutes."

Luan Xueping stood in front of Gu Tianyou and said yes. Gu Tianyou raised his hand and placed it on Luan Xueping's head.

While exerting pressure, Luan Xueping felt the exerting point of his body's resistance, and skillfully changed the direction of his strength, allowing his resistance to be controlled in a subtle equilibrium state. Stress exerts itself on the spine through the top of the head, easily exhausting the opponent.

Not long after, Luan Xueping's legs began to bend and sweat appeared on his forehead. Under such contact, Gu Tianyou's every move could not be concealed from Gu Tianyou's perception. Gu Tianyou could detect and accurately adjust the angle of application of force at any point in time, using his spine as the center of torque transmission to adjust his body balance.

At this moment, Commissar Luan could be said to be the matchmaking doll in Gu Tianyou's hand, and he couldn't help but move. The pressure continued to flow, and his stamina rapidly flowed away. Finally, he couldn't help but say, "Please stop, I understand!" Gu Tianyou raised his hand and Luan Xueping felt the pressure on his head loosen. He jumped up high like a conditioned reflex. In the end, this jump even surpassed the level of a high jumper.

His feet landed on the ground, and his entire body was still sweating profusely. He looked at Gu Tianyou in horror and said, "There really is such a murderous method!"

Gu Tianyou nodded and said, "Please forgive my recklessness. Fortunately, this technique is not only harmless but also beneficial."

Facts speak louder than words, and the others present are all shocked and astonished.

Dai Xiaolou asked, "How do you know that this person is Japanese?"

Gu Tianyou said, "This person's hand gesture is actually a unique sword grasping posture. I have seen someone use it with my own eyes. It should be a very powerful sword art."

Li Yunqing humbly asked, "You can do what this murderer can do. Does that mean that your cultivation is about the same?"

Gu Tianyou said, "The deceased held the sword in a special manner, Judging from the shape of his curved spine, His cultivation in the Sword Dao should be at the eighth stage or even higher. The murderer was able to use this method to force him to confess. His cultivation in martial arts is beyond my reach. The reason I was able to suppress Commissar Luan is because he is not from the martial arts world. And this deceased's cultivation in the Sword Dao is so high. To suppress him in this way, it requires an extremely strong realm. Such a person is rare. "

Xu Muye's assassin drove a vehicle belonging to a Japanese swordsman who had been tortured to death in a cruel manner. He may have been forced to confess before he died. This fact reminded Gu Tianyou of Zou Haibo. With the quality of the staff of the Foreign Affairs Intelligence Agency, it shouldn't be difficult for the public security organ to find this person first. For example, if the person who attacked was that Arhat, he would be able to do it!

These thoughts could only be considered in his heart. With Zou Haibo's temperament and the strength of his control, doing such a thing was not surprising. However, to the Wu Dong police, it was very bad news that an important clue was cut off just like that.

Dai Xiaolou said with a serious expression, "The results of the traces collection at the scene are not satisfactory. The murderer left almost no clues, no fingerprints or footprints, and the hotel's surveillance did not leave any suspicious images. The corpse of the deceased died of dehydration without any spots or corruption, making it difficult for us to determine the exact time of death."

Luan Xueping frowned and said, "Such a mysterious and unfathomable case involves the case of the provincial party secretary being attacked. The most important clue at present has been interrupted just like that."

Li Yunqing muttered, "It can't be said to have been completely interrupted. At the very least, we can't be so arbitrary until the corpse enters the morgue for a more scientific analysis." As he said that, he turned his gaze to Gu Tianyou and said, "I have already told you what happened last night. Now is the time to pool our brains and search for clues. We have already talked about it. How about it? Shouldn't we also talk about your thoughts?"

Gu Tianyou said, "I was wondering if the murderer killed someone to silence me or to extract a confession?" Depending on the condition of the deceased, I think there's a better chance of extorting a confession, First, let's assume that the victim was involved in last night's case, And the killer's greatest chance of killing him would have been silence, But if it's just for the sake of killing, With the murderer's cultivation, "I can even make this person die without anyone noticing. However, he did not do so. Instead, he used an even more troublesome method. Therefore, I feel that this hypothesis is untenable. The murderer is not trying to silence him, but to extract a confession. If the deceased is related to what happened last night, then the murderer is most likely investigating that matter."

"That makes sense!" Dai Xiaolou took the conversation and said, "This murderer is very likely not directly related to the incident last night. If we want to continue investigating the incident last night, we should not focus our attention on the murderer of this case now. Instead, we should continue to actively search for clues, such as starting with the identity of the deceased and thoroughly investigating the social relations of the deceased."

Li Yunqing said, "We should also pay attention to collecting all the surveillance information related to the deceased. Little Gu has judged that this person is Japanese. In order to save time, we should start from this aspect and send two comrades to the customs to search for the entry records of this person and confirm the identity of the deceased."

Gu Tianyou asked, "How is the hotel's check-in recorded?"

Luan Xueping introduced, "This man is not a guest of the hotel, This room was reserved by a businessman surnamed Li all year round, "This businessman surnamed Li is from Hong Kong Island. He trades between the two places all year round. He has kept this room for a long time and the door to the room has not been damaged. However, there is something like a door card in the hands of the floor attendant. So I personally think it is a coincidence that the deceased was killed here."

Gu Tianyou said, "If that's the case, So the victim was probably brought into this room by the killer, The deceased's skill is not simple. If he was coerced into this room, he should have struggled along the way. This way, it would be very difficult to leave no traces behind. Therefore, I still prefer that the deceased lived in this room. He used a regular door card to enter and exit the room. After the murderer killed him, he took away the door card that might be an important clue. "

Li Yunqing said, "You mean it's necessary to work hard on this Hong Kong businessman surnamed Li?"
