Chapter 407: Expecting A Murder Tonigh (2/2)

”There were also four perpetrators! Although they wore the exact same shoes as the four young masters, the depth of their footprints are slightly different, and one of them is a woman.”

”A woman?” Xiaotao was shocked. ”How can you tell if it’s a man or a woman?”

I opened the Autopsy Umbrella and asked Xiaotao to turn on the ultraviolet light. Handprints appeared on the body, mainly on the legs and the hips. Although they were messy, it was easily recognizable that only three people raped the victims.

Why didn’t one of them partake in the rape? Either they couldn’t or they didn’t have that ability.

As I turned the Autopsy Umbrella, the wounds on the victim’s body appeared in different colors. Of course, they weren't colorful, but there was a difference in shades. Surprised, Xiaotao blurted, ”I didn’t know your umbrella could do that!”

”The darker the color of the wound, the longer it’s been there,” I explained. “And the lighter it is, the shorter the age of the wound. It’s clear that the injuries were left by four different types of weapons.”

Xiaotao nodded.

I pointed to them and analyzed, ”The wounds caused by three of the weapons are relatively large, and only the wounds caused by the last weapon are relatively small. This suggests that the perpetrator either lacked strength or couldn’t bring themselves to injure the victim. And here’s an interesting detail–the perpetrator with the least strength didn’t attack the victim in the face!”

When I switched to examining the other corpse, my findings corroborated my conclusion from the first victim. One of the murderers refused to hurt the victims in the face. Thus, I deduced there was a woman among the murderers.

They were ordered by the Dog Trainer to orchestrate a murder. Hence, the lack of malice towards the victims. After all, it was only a job to them. And appearance, namely the face, was most important to women. Out of compassion, the female perpetrator avoided injuring the victims’ faces.

Pleased with the current developments, Xiaotao smiled, ”With this evidence, it’ll be easy to prove it was the work of copycats.”

”These are just inferences based on indirect evidence,” I said, shaking my head. “Can they stand up in court?”

”Evidence with sufficient arguments can determine the direction of the case,” answered Xiaotao.

However, the suspects were four second-generation rich kids. They would certainly hire the best lawyers in the country to defend them. If we couldn't produce direct evidence, we would have to watch them go free.

”Besides, I’m only speculating there’s a woman among the four copycats. Perhaps he has issues in gender cognition or might just be an effeminate man!”

I took a closer look, staring at an obvious handprint for some time and noticed an abnormality. Picking up the clothes I had just removed, I spread them on the tarpaulin and twirled the Autopsy Umbrella. Very quickly, handprints appeared all over them.

”Can your umbrella show the Yang Energy Prints on cloth?” Xiaotao exclaimed.

”Of course not. These aren’t Yang Energy Prints but palm prints!”

After putting away the Autopsy Umbrella, I sprinkled a handful of seaweed ash onto a palm print. Gently blowing off the ash revealed an entire palm print. Though the palm lines were extremely clear, there were no fingerprints on any of the fingers.
