Street Hustler and H Chapter 202 202: How Was the Stench of Corpses Covered Up?

Chen Xiao's words left everyone puzzled.

So police officers even unconsciously asked:

"Five senses are just that — five senses. How are they related to Daoist facial reading?"

As the officer inquired, both Xiaoji Knife Man and Liu Dayou arrived.

After Chen Xiao indicated they were with him, Xie Wensheng allowed them in.

"These three are my friends. This gentleman here knows a bit about Daoist facial reading, so I'll let him explain the different interpretations of the five senses in various fields."

After Chen Xiao finished speaking, he instructed Liu Dayou. Once he understood, he replied:

"The five senses of a person, almost anyone can list them off by heart: eyes, ears, mouth, and nose. But that's only four — where's the fifth?"

"In Daoist facial reading, the five senses refer to the eyes, ears, mouth, nose, and eyebrows!"

"However, in traditional Chinese dicine, the five senses are the eyes, ears, mouth, nose, and tongue."

"Western dicine also has a concept of the five senses, referring to the eyes, ears, mouth, nose, and throat!"

This swiftly entered Liu Dayou's professional domain, so he spoke confidently in front of the police.

A group of police officers felt as if they gained new knowledge, and even Xie Wensheng couldn't help but say:

"Mr. Chen, do you an that the parts of the five senses removed from the three dead bodies might be related to Daoist facial reading?"

"I can't be certain, but since soone went to such lengths, there must be so connection, more or less."

As Chen Xiao spoke, he glanced again at Liu Dayou, who continued:

"In Daoist facial reading, ears are the listening officials, eyebrows are longevity protectors, eyes are supervisory officials, the nose is a judge, and the mouth is a cashier. Usually, eyebrows relate to health and status, eyes to willpower and state of mind, the nose to wealth, the mouth to happiness, food fortune, and connections with benefactors, and finally, ears indicate longevity!"

Upon hearing this, Xie Wensheng couldn't help but mix his comnts: "If we follow this reasoning, the missing eyebrows and nose of Xiong Ruru an the perpetrator deprived her of health, status, and wealth? Similarly, Xue Xiangdi missing eyes and nose equates to depriving her of willpower, mind, and wealth."

"Finally, this last victim missing mouth and ears ans deprivation of luck and longevity!"

After speaking, Xie Wensheng frowned deeply and then lanted, "Isn't this getting a bit mysterious?"

"It's just a reference, after all, there are so many strange people in this world. These information points exposed in the murder case could be used for so relevant actions."

Chen Xiao expressed his opinion, and Xie Wensheng nodded in agreent: "But, how do we proceed?"

This ti, Liu Dayou didn't need Chen Xiao's reminder, and directly said, "Officers, give

their birth dates and tis. I'll do a divination for them. But let

be clear upfront, the results of my divination are for reference only and I'm not legally responsible for them!"

The cautious Liu Dayou remained as cautious as ever, refusing to leave any threat to his personal safety.

Xie Wensheng smiled and nodded: "You can proceed boldly, but I only have the birth dates and tis of two victims so far."

"No problem, I'll work with the two of them first."

Liu Dayou opened the victim's files handed over by the officers, but Chen Xiao didn't look at them. Instead, he attentively observed the corpses.

Chen Xiao quickly spotted the fatal wounds described by Xie Wensheng.

On the victim's temples, on both the left and right sides, he could clearly see the blood holes, though the nails that caused the death weren't left behind.

Chen Xiao extended his gloved hands, pressing his index fingers against each blood hole.

The forensic doctor next to him couldn't help but curiously ask: "Mr. Chen, what are you doing?"

Chen Xiao did not answer, instead, he silently closed his eyes.

He harnessed the power of killing (Sha Sheng)!

This was one of the rare monts he utilized this ability.

Soon, his fingers seed to record the blood holes on the victim's temples, then Chen Xiao's fingertips went to the victim's smashed mouth and severed ears.

The forensic doctor initially thought Chen Xiao was conducting a forensic examination. However, the mont he was about to speak, he was shocked to discover Chen Xiao's actions.

His left hand seed to be supporting sothing, while his right hand appeared to be holding sothing.

Following his actions, the left hand aligned parallel with the victim's temple, and the right hand smashed toward the left.

The forensic doctor imdiately understood, feeling a chill down his spine!

Chen Xiao was recreating the scene of the murder, based on the wounds.

But re imitation shouldn't have been so startling for the forensic doctor.

The reason for the chill was because Chen Xiao's eyes were exceptionally cold, without the slightest hint of emotion.

Not knowing how much ti had passed, the forensic doctor had not seen Chen Xiao blink, or his eyes move!

Suddenly, Chen Xiao asked: "What did you see in my eyes?"

The forensic doctor hesitated: "Very cold-blooded, emotionless!"

"Anything else?"

"I can't say, but I felt like there was nothing in your eyes!"

Chen Xiao couldn't help but frown.

Previously, he hadn't controlled his emotions, but he tried sensing the potential inner world of the perpetrator, based on the wounds on the victim.

In the forensic doctor's eyes, Chen Xiao seed cold-blooded, with no emotions.

This ant the forensic doctor did not perceive any ferocity, satisfaction, or distortion in Chen Xiao's gaze!

After a brief contemplation, Chen Xiao asked the forensic doctor again: "Apart from the obvious external wounds on the three victims, do their bodies have any other characteristics?"

The forensic doctor took a deep breath, occasionally casting appraising glances at Chen Xiao for reasons unknown.

"You don't have to look at

that way. This is just your first ti eting . As you interact more, you'll get used to it."

Chen Xiao calmly said, to which the forensic doctor responded with an awkward smile: "There are ligature marks on both wrists and ankles. Blood tests on the first two victims showed high alcohol content, suggesting they consud a lot of strong liquor before death. Moreover, although the victims were disposed of at different tis, their ti of death was very close. The perpetrator rely discarded them one by one."

"So the victims were rendered drunk, and then killed around the sa ti. Hmm, did their stomach examinations reveal any specific foods?"

The forensic doctor shook his head: "No, the first two victims' stomach contents had abundant leftovers, indicating they ate a lot. Tests found beef, pork, enoki mushrooms, cabbage, and slices of fatty beef and lamb."

Chen Xiao raised his head: "Their last al was hotpot."

The forensic doctor nodded: "Yes."

Chen Xiao couldn't help swatting an insect on his shoulder, then he sighed: "In this season's Shencheng City, eating hotpot and drinking heavily during their last monts, only for multiple people to be killed and nearly wholly discarded in succession. The killer's environnt must either be remote with no other nearby residents or have plenty of freezers. But these bodies don't seem to have been frozen; their decomposition rate over ti appears normal."

"Tsk, just how remote must the place be to conceal the stench of multiple decomposing bodies?"
