Chapter 082: Yin Energy

  After a thorough examination, Qin Lang did not find any valuable clues. He continued to smooth out the wrinkles on his neck and carefully pondered the mark left by the rope.

  The laceration was scattered, with a longitudinal groove and obvious subcutaneous hemorrhage around it, rough to the extreme. Qin Lang recalled the knowledge he had recently learned that was related to ropes and carefully analyzed and compared the marks, finally believing that this was a three-strand hemp rope.

  Therefore, he also associated it with the effect of having a hemp rope, among which there was one point that he listed as a key analysis doubt. That is to say, people who often use hemp ropes: grave robbers!

  Suddenly, Qin Lang's doubts in his heart seemed to be clearing up.

  At first glance, hemp rope, grave robbers and yin energy seem unrelated.

  There is more to it than meets the eye.

  Hemp rope, due to its sturdy and durable characteristics, is listed as one of the essential tools for grave robbers, used for lifting soil and binding people. Coincidentally, grave robbers are also a group that carries yin energy. The deceased was strangled to death by grave robbers using hemp rope and then raped, thereby transferring their yin energy to the deceased.

  This explanation has undoubtedly linked up all sorts of mysteries in a clever way.

  This made Qin Lang suddenly enlightened, and he listed the identity of the murderer as a tomb raider into the category of key discoveries.

  He had a sudden thought and raised another new question, could it be that the deceased was preserved so well because of these yin energies?

  These days, Qin Lang knew that the Feng Shui of this world had a theory of Yin and Yang Wu Xing. Among them, the five elements were similar to the "Five Qi" of Dan Ding Continent. On Dan Ding Continent, many cultivators also used the method of changing the "Five Qi" to achieve the purpose of preserving elixirs and materials. There were also ordinary people who asked cultivators for help in preserving the bodies of their deceased loved ones, but this preservation method was temporary.

  Ancient doctors applied the theory of yin and yang to medicine while also introducing the five elements theory, which was used to explain the physiological functions and interrelations of the zang-fu organs, as well as the complex relationships between humans and nature. All things in the world can be classified into one of the five elements according to their properties, and each category of things has its own rules that correspond to the movements of the five elements.

  Yin and Yang and the Five Elements are closely related, with a mutually generating relationship.

  Although science does not recognize the theory of yin and yang and the five elements, it does not mean that they do not exist. Since they exist, Qin Lang believes that there must be people who play with them!

  Since yin and yang and the five elements are closely related, Qin Lang suspected that the deceased was very likely to have changed the changes of the five elements in his body due to this yin energy, resulting in chaos and playing a protective role for the corpse.

  Or perhaps the murderer deliberately used some means of changing the five elements to make the deceased's body still well-preserved for a period of time after death.

  If the murderer is indeed a grave robber, then it can be explained. After all, grave robbers want to find the tomb, and Feng Shui and Yin-Yang Wu Xing are inseparable! Knowing the means of changing Wu Xing is not surprising either.

  After layers of reasoning and analysis, the truth of the case gradually surfaced, however, all this was deduced by Yin Qi and Le Hen, which is not convincing enough.

  Qin Lang believed that it was necessary to go further and detect the five elements of the deceased in order to make his reasoning more convincing.

  Moreover, he almost overlooked a more important point. If the deceased was indeed altered in the five elements to preserve the body intact, then the time of death may have to be overturned from the 20 hours stated by Dr. Yan.

  If the deceased was moved here within a day of death, it would be impossible for such a thick yin energy to form.

  The only possibility is that the corpse had been with the murderer who had a strong aura of evil for quite some time.

  The exact time of death is crucial for the entire case.

  However, with Qin Lang's current ability, he cannot directly sense other people's five elements. Since the five elements correspond to the five airs of the Dan Ding continent, Qin Lang decided to use the lowest-level "Five Qi Observation Method" to observe the deceased's five elements.

  It seems that with his current ordinary body, he can only use this inferior method that only secular doctors would use, and cultivators would never use.

  Qin Lang couldn't help but mock himself.

  He walked up to a position above the deceased's head, closed his eyes, clasped his hands together and gently pressed them against Baihui. He began to examine the interior of the deceased's body.

  Qin Lang's bizarre behavior left onlookers stunned, just like when he was held hostage by Zhao Tiezhu and shouted "Feng Huo Lun", the look in people's eyes was as if they thought he was crazy.

  "Hmph, this kid is pretending to be a genius!" Wu Yong snorted disdainfully.

  Although Wu Yong's voice was very small, it was still heard by Gao Team Leader, who glared at him fiercely. The others saw the situation and naturally understood what Gao Team Leader meant, so no one dared to make a sound to disturb Qin Lang.

  Fifteen minutes later, Qin Lang opened his eyes and revealed a satisfied expression.

  The test results of "Wu Qi Guan Ti Fa" show that the five elements of the deceased have indeed been changed, and even the five internal organs have been relocated.

  This twisted change of the five internal organs method only has an effect after a person is dead, because after a person dies, the five internal organs will stop functioning, allowing those with ulterior motives to take advantage.

  This Five Elements technique is extremely immature, and can even be said to be a Three-Legged Cat Kung Fu. It's fundamentally incomparable to the moves played by the masters of the Dan Ding Continent. However, it's enough for preserving corpses that haven't changed.

  Why did the murderer want to alter the body's five elements? The answer is obvious, the murderer has a perverted hobby of killing people, but it's unlikely that they would be perverted enough to have an interest in a rotting corpse.

  However, with the killer's use of the Three-Legged Cat Kung Fu, the preservation of the corpse would absolutely not exceed two weeks.

  According to Wu Qi's observation method, the organs inside the deceased's body have already shown signs of decay. Qin Lang judged based on experience that this time would not be less than a week.

  The deceased has been dead for more than a week but less than two weeks.

  The death time mentioned by Dr. Jian Fa can basically be overturned.

  "Captain, after testing, the soil found in Xiao Qin's fingernails and the soil on the grass he picked up have the same composition. Xiao Qin did not lie, the grass was indeed shaken off from the body!"

  At this time, Yan Fa Medical ran over with the test results excitedly and called Qin Lang "Little Qin", showing that he valued Qin Lang very much. "Not only that, I sent the soil here and the soil discovered by Little Qin to my good friend, Professor Yang, an expert in biology, for analysis after testing the composition. He said that the properties of the two soils are completely opposite and it is impossible for them to grow in the same area in terms of biology!"

  The team leader was overjoyed and asked: "Did your good friend say where this kind of soil would appear?"

  "What he said was very broad, far beyond the province, and didn't mention Dongkou Town, which Xiao Qin mentioned, so I asked Professor Yang to help me investigate the detailed geographical data of Dongkou Town!" Yan Fa Yi replied.

  "It's just like that then......" Captain Gao nodded thoughtfully, and turned his head to Qin Lang, asking: "Little Qin, when you did the full-body examination on the corpse earlier, did you find any other clues?"

  "Of course!" Qin Lang stood up, his eyes gleaming: "You've all been blinded by the surface, the deceased has been dead for at least a week!"

  Yan Fa Yi, who had been hoping that Qin Lang would continue to bring her surprises, immediately overturned with a righteous tone: "Qin Lang, this is impossible!"

  If even a body as intact as this one can't be used to accurately determine the time of death, then she's not cut out for this line of work!

  Yan Fa Yi was slightly indignant, Qin Lang's words were undoubtedly denying her professional standards and questioning her on such a low-level judgment of death time, which was no different from humiliating her!

  "Xiao Qin, this corpse is so well-preserved that even if I weren't a forensic expert, I could still accurately determine her time of death based on experience. Everything else I'm not sure about, but on this point, I must disagree with you!" Captain Gao said with a frown.

  "Right, right, right......" The surrounding police officers also clearly did not believe him, unless they were blind and stupid, would anyone believe Qin Lang's words.

  At a critical moment, Bai Wuxia stepped forward and said, "Although I don't believe it either, but I want to hear Qin Lang's reason."

  Qin Lang smiled faintly, probably this time he couldn't satisfy Bai Wuchuang's curiosity. After all, his way of judging and the way of this world are not universal, if he says something like five elements, yin-yang wuxing, people might really think he is a charlatan!

  The murderer might be a tomb raider, but he didn't plan to say it out loud, because if he did, he would inevitably have to engage in a debate with the police. What he really wanted was to go to the scene of the first case and find conclusive evidence before making an announcement.

  He helplessly shrugged his shoulders and said to Dr. Yan, "The murderer is just like you, an expert in handling corpses. Don't ask me for the reason, I can't explain it. If you don't believe me, you can take the corpse back and examine it carefully!"

  "Also, I was thinking of going to Dongkou Town for a trip, Captain Gao, are you interested?"

  Captain Gao hesitated: "The road to Dongkou Town is very far from here, and it will take a whole day to go back and forth. Our time is very tight, and without conclusive evidence, I won't consider it."

  The captain's implication was that Qin Lang's lead was still not sufficient, and he hadn't been able to make him feel the urge to take a gamble. If they messed up, it would be very difficult to explain to their superiors.

  "I have no reason to deceive you, I want this huge bounty more than anyone else. You solve your case, and I get my reward, killing two birds with one stone, a perfect outcome, that's my goal!" Qin Lang said firmly.

  Although Yan Fa Yi still had some doubts about Qin Lang's low-level questioning earlier, Qin Lang's firm gaze told her that she should choose to believe in him!

  At the same time, she also knew Captain Gao's worries, so she asked: "Xiao Qin, apart from the time of death, do you have any other clues?"
