157 He Does Have a Grudge Against Me
‘It doesn’t matter. Take your time.’
Yun Ran held a cup of tea and took a slow sip. Then, she said, “Let me add a few more points. The murderer is a man. He should be a man with a broken arm. He only has one hand, which is his left hand! His cultivation level is naturally not low. He wears clothes embroidered with golden thread. He should be someone who is quite particular about his clothes. His status is naturally not low.”
“If he doesn’t have a grudge against me, he should have a grudge against Mo Beiyuan. I don’t seem to have a broken arm among my enemies. What about you?”
Yun Ran looked at a certain someone beside her.
This person had so many enemies. It was not impossible for any of them to exact vengeance on her.
The expression on Mo Beiyuan’s face was clearly one of shock because Yun Ran’s words had really exceeded his expectations.
Mo Beiyuan was not surprised that Huo Chanyi could find some clues from the autopsy.
After all, Huo Chanyi was a member of the Thousand Poison Valley, and her knowledge of poison and medicine was not bad.
Therefore, when Huo Chanyi told him about her discovery, Mo Beiyuan’s expression remained the same.
However, Yun Ran’s unhurried words were clearly more accurate than Huo Chanyi’s discovery and gave more information.
This information was enough for him to guess who the murderer was!
That’s right, Mo Beiyuan already had a suspect in his heart. That was why he was so shocked.
“How did you know that the murderer only had one hand? Was it an arm?”
Mo Beiyuan believed that she was not just guessing because, with his understanding of her, she was not the kind of person who would make wild guesses.
Yun Ran widened her watery eyes and exclaimed in surprise, “Do you have a suspect? Don’t tell me you really have an enemy with a broken arm!”
Mo Beiyuan’s eyes darkened as he said, “Tell me your hypothesis first.”
Yun Ran shrugged and explained briefly. “It’s simple. All the victims have only left-handed marks on them. There are no finger marks from a right hand. The victims are all adult men, and they’re all spiritual power cultivators. It’s not impossible to subdue them with one hand, but it must be troublesome. If he has two hands, he definitely has to use both, unless he doesn’t.”
A cultivation technique like sucking up one’s cultivation was useless on a dead person. When a person died, the spiritual qi and cultivation in their body would instantly dry up.
Therefore, he could only slowly suck it dry while the victim was still alive.
They were living people, so they would definitely shout. In order to prevent others from hearing them, the murderer would definitely block their mouths.
To make it easier for everyone to understand.
According to normal logic and movements, Yun Ran demonstrated it to everyone as she spoke. She grabbed her neck with one hand and covered her mouth with the other.
“This position is the easiest to operate. However, there are no signs of the victims’ faces being covered by both hands. There are only finger marks made with a left hand on their cheeks. The corners of their mouths are torn. Something must have been stuffed into their mouths to prevent them from screaming. Even a left-handed person would use his right hand. Therefore, he definitely doesn’t have his right hand.”
“Think about it, isn’t that the truth?”
Yun Ran had never solved any cases, but she was meticulous and had good eyesight. With a little thought, she came to these conclusions.
However, she did not know that the conclusions she came up with had confirmed the identity of the murderer.
Mo Beiyuan said, “Based on what you said, I know who that person is, and he does have a grudge against me.”
