Chapter 100: Unraveling the details Du Ruo didn't say anything, but put on his rubber gloves and leaned over to take a look. First is the Danzhong point. It looks like a number 8 is printed there, and the purple color is a little black. "The wounds here are very strange. They were hit hard, but not fatal. We searched for a long time but couldn't find any instruments that matched these wounds. They look a bit like two steel bars, but a hit with such force from steel bars would definitely cause damage to the skin, but this one didn't." The forensic doctor was explaining at the side. Only the female police officer was standing a little far away at the scene. Captain Huang and Du Ruo were standing very close. "It's a finger." Du Ruo replied indifferently, and then wanted to look at the other injured parts of the deceased. "What?" The forensic doctor didn't understand and asked a question. Team Leader Huang was also attracted by Du Ruo's words and looked at Du Ruo, waiting for his answer. "This was hit with the fingers. The Danzhong point is a very important acupuncture point in martial arts. It is located at an important node of the Ren Meridian. If it is hit, the opponent will usually be unable to gather energy, which will be very beneficial for the next attack. Therefore, if there is a chance, martial artists usually will not miss the opportunity to hit here." Du Ruo pointed at the purple number 8 on the dead man's chest again and explained to everyone.
"How much force or how strong the fingers must be to cause such damage?" The forensic doctor was a little bit unbelieving and uttered a sigh. It was not that he was questioning Du Ruo, but those who were invited to assist had to be responsible for what they said, and it was not something that could be said casually. "There are many ways to strike with your fingers. It's difficult to strike with your own fingers, but you can also strike with your knuckles to cause the same damage." As Du Ruo spoke, he gestured to everyone and made a corresponding gesture. "Then can you tell what kind of Kung Fu it is? Don't people who practice martial arts have schools?" Captain Huang asked another question. He now felt that it was absolutely the right decision to invite Du Ruo over. If he was not a professional, who would think about these aspects? "You can't tell from this alone. In modern martial arts, many things are borrowed from each other, and the fighting styles are also beginning to become modernized, that is, efficient and concise. Sometimes it's even hard to tell the difference between modern fighting and traditional martial arts. However, those who can cause such damage are either good at finger techniques or palm techniques, because people who are good at boxing usually can't leave such marks, and foreign martial artists are not good at acupoints. Even people who have learned traditional kung fu will not be so persistent in acupoints. This is muscle memory, so it should be done by people in China." Du Ruo's explanation was very coherent and not aimless, so the three people nearby nodded as if they understood it, and even the female police officer next to him couldn't help but come closer. "Finger technique, palm technique, does that mean it's certain that it was done by a warrior?" Captain Huang immediately grasped the core of the problem. As a criminal policeman, the first thing he thought of after hearing it was to identify the murderer group. "Well, we have to wait and see for details. This guy should be a martial artist. His muscles are hard, which is a characteristic of coastal southern kung fu." Du Ruo looked at the deceased again. He had well-developed muscles and not too much fat. "Can this be seen?" The person who was asking the questions was a female police officer. After listening to Du Ruo's words, she looked the deceased up and down again. She only saw that he had well-developed muscles and a strong back, and nothing else could be seen. "Well, Kung Fu is divided into internal Kung Fu, external Kung Fu, Emei Kung Fu, and Southern Kung Fu, and each has its own special features. After practicing internal and external martial arts, the muscle lines are softer. In most cases, you can't even see any signs of training in internal martial arts, while in external martial arts, the muscles are more obvious, and occasionally some parts are even different from those of ordinary people, but they are also equally soft. The Emei style of Kung Fu is more agile and has certain requirements on muscle lines, so it cannot be practiced if you are too big.
Only those who practice Southern Kung Fu have obvious muscles, firm lines, and a much stronger body. This person is one of them, but his Kung Fu should not be too deep, otherwise he would not be easily hit in the Tanzhong acupoint." Du Ruo gave some explanation. In fact, these external characteristics are not obvious now. Many people cultivate both inside and outside, and are proficient in both the north and the south. However, those realms are not something that ordinary people can achieve, so most people can still distinguish them. "Tsk~" The policewoman clicked her tongue and looked as if she had learned something new. At the same time, she looked at the deceased again and even stole a glance at Du Ruo's figure, perhaps trying to confirm what Du Ruo had just said in her mind. "Look at his wrists, elbows, and shoulders. There are purple marks on each joint. These are caused by grappling. The opponent is very strong and has very skilled grappling techniques, so the murderer must be an expert in claws and fingers. If you use your palm, you won’t leave such obvious marks on your wrists and elbows, but purple bruises on your waist, shoulders, or even legs.” Du Ruo actually had a rough idea in mind when he saw this. "What about these points?" The forensic doctor pointed to some marks on the deceased's body. Some of these marks were large and some were just a coin-sized dot, some were connected into a line, and some were formed into a piece. They were also purple and black, and it was obvious that the blood vessels inside were severely damaged. "These dots were caused by the use of the Sealing Technique. This is the Jiquan acupoint that was hit by the Phoenix Eye Fist. After the punch, the arm was temporarily unable to exert force, so there is only a black dot." Du Ruo pointed to the dead man's armpit, where there was a noticeable coin-sized purple-black spot. "This is the Jimen acupoint that is kicked with a shoe. It will be extremely painful when the Jimen acupoint is hit, and the whole leg will be numb, and you may even be unable to stand." Du Ruo pointed to a small purple-black mark between the inner thigh and the knee. "Also, the three points of Tianquan, Tianfu and Xiabai are connected together and are grasped by the hard claws of the fingers. Usually, after being grasped, the palm cannot make a fist." Du Ruo pointed to the biceps of the other arm, where there were four purple-black dots connected together. At this time, only the forensic doctor was still thinking. Team Huang and the female police officer were already dumbfounded. They looked at Du Ruo, then at the deceased. They were unable to speak for a moment. They were completely shocked. However, Du Ruo had not finished speaking. Ignoring the shock of the three people, Du Ruo continued: "So it should be like this. Captain Huang, I am now the murderer. The murderer should be face to face with the deceased, or talking to him. Then the murderer suddenly attacked, pointing his two fingers at the deceased's Tanzhong acupoint. The attack was fast and fierce." Du Ruo came in front of Captain Huang and greeted him first. Then he suddenly poked Captain Huang's Dan Zhong acupoint with two fingers of his right hand. It was really fast and fierce. He poked Captain Huang's chest almost before he could react. However, Du Ruo controlled his strength very well, showing his speed without hurting Captain Huang. "The deceased must have practiced martial arts such as Cailifoquan. When the deceased's Tanzhong acupoint was hit, he subconsciously tried to hit the murderer's temple with the hammer in his right hand, but was hit by the murderer's left Fengyan fist on Jiquan acupoint." Du Ruo raised Captain Yellow's arm and slapped it against his own temple, then he used his Phoenix Eye Fist to hit the opponent under the armpit. "The deceased's left hand should have been trying to grab the murderer's arm, but he grabbed three acupuncture points on his arm, and he didn't stop. After grabbing the acupuncture points, his claws pulled down, and the grappling hands grabbed the deceased's wrists and pressed down, forcing the deceased to kneel down. Then the murderer kicked the victim's Jimen acupoint, forcing him to lie prone. However, his wrists were held, and he was almost hanging in the air. The murderer then grabbed his wrists and pressed his arms down, and finally hit his neck or back, killing him. (Sorry, these are moves and battles that the author came up with himself, so I can’t post pictures or videos of them.) Du Ruo was talking while his hands kept moving and he started to perform on Captain Huang. Now Du Ruo's movements started to become bigger and they were all anti-joint grappling techniques. Although Captain Huang was grimacing, he was really tough and didn't make a sound. But after Du Ruo finished everything, Captain Huang had already fallen to the ground with his hands limp at his sides. Although his arms were not broken by the anti-joint grappling techniques, he was still in pain and was still trembling. Finally, Du Ruo came to the side of the deceased, grabbed the back of the deceased's head with his hand, and pointed to a light purple mark on the deceased's back, indicating that the deceased was killed after being hit there. "So the deceased's posture should be like what Captain Huang is lying on now. The fatal spot is the back and neck, and he died of systemic blood arrest, which is a heart attack. Okay, Captain Huang, you can stand up. I'm sorry for what happened just now. I can't recreate the scene without focusing a little more." After Du Ruo finished speaking, he pulled Captain Huang up from the ground, apologized and explained. "Fuck! This is amazing! This posture is almost the same as when the deceased was found, also face down." Captain Huang stood up and rubbed his arms, even swearing. You can imagine how shocked he was. "But how could being hit in the position you mentioned cause a heart attack?"
The forensic doctor examined the victim for a long time but could not find anything special about the location of the victim's injuries, so he simply stopped thinking about it and asked directly. "In acupressure, there is a concept called the tide, so..." Du Ruo explained the concept of acupuncture point and also explained the theory of traditional Chinese medicine. "I think I understand what the so-called tide is. When I was a student, there were two people in my class fighting, and suddenly one of them turned pale and fell to the ground, and his breathing became weak. When I asked him later, the person who was fighting with him said that he just touched him lightly without using any force. So according to what you said, he happened to be hit by the tide, right?" The female police officer next to her seemed to suddenly remember something and screamed, her voice even louder. "Yes, that's right. That's how it feels when Chaotou is hit. If you calculate the timing and hit him accurately, as long as it's a little bit heavier, it can kill the person. Usually, the blood will stop circulating, and then the heart will stop, and the breathing will slow down, so the face will turn blue." Du Ruo made a summary, which revealed everything. "Then do you know what kind of Kung Fu this is, and where else can perform it?" Team Huang is more concerned about solving the case. As long as they can identify the approximate suspects, they will have a direction and solving the case will not be difficult. "Yes, I do know this. There are many acupoint pressing techniques in the world, but there are not many techniques that combine grappling and sealing techniques (acupoint pressing)..." I am on vacation today, so I will update 6,000 words for now. I will update it in the evening depending on the situation. If conditions permit, I will try to update it in one more chapter.
