Chapter 170: Confession, Flicking Arrow
"Okay, I'll put my stuff down for a while."
Du Ruo nodded. He was not that pretentious. Since his cooperation was required, he would just cooperate. It didn’t matter anyway.
As he spoke, Du Ruo carried the chestnuts to the wooden house, put them away, and then put on his clothes again.
When they came out, they found that Xing Anming and another policeman had also changed into uniforms. The first two were wearing ordinary clothes, so there was no need to waste time. They moved a table outside, set up the camera, and one person asked questions while the other took down the statement.
The reason why we only need to take the statement outside is because the technical investigation department has already conducted an appraisal yesterday.
Some blood of the deceased was found in the bowstring of Lao Hu's bow, and the traces also matched. It has been basically confirmed that Lao Hu is the murderer who killed the forest patrollers.
In addition, the on-site investigation also confirmed that Du Ruo only attacked once, which was consistent with what Du Ruo said, that he was attacked actively after they met.
Therefore, Du Ruo does not need to be responsible for this matter. In addition, Du Ruo also made great contributions to this case in the early stage. Now coming to Du Ruo to take a statement is just to supplement the evidence. Moreover, the process also requires such a statement from Du Ruo to bring the case to a complete end.
Only when the case is over can we use this report to commend Du Ruo, his colleagues in the bureau, and the armed police detachment.
Of course, there are other reasons as well, so we chose to come to your door and take your statement.
Therefore, the process of questioning was very harmonious, including the cause and effect as well as the process in between. If Du Ruo's words were vague in the middle, Xing Anming did not ask too many questions.
He was very clear about Du Ruo's identity as a martial arts master. In today's society, there are so many people practicing martial arts from various schools and sects, and even many people are doing well on the Internet, but among those who are defined as talents with special skills, he only knows Du Ruo.
From this we can see that if Du Ruo didn't have any means, there is no way he could have achieved what he has now.
"Can you tell me what caused those arrow fragments?"
Xing Anming flipped through the documents in his hand and began to ask.
This actually has little to do with the case, but he has to ask because he needs to make an additional report that will update Du Ruo's information.
Du Ruo was defined as a person with special skills. He came into the police's attention after being filmed beating an adult wild boar to death with his fists. This was because it showed that Du Ruo had a strong level of close combat and could kill people with his bare hands.
Then the police came to invite him to help solve the case, and Du Ruo showed his profound martial arts skills.
The first time a special talent like Du Ruo was upgraded was because of the three holes scratched by hands on the crazy buffalo's skull. That was equivalent to proving that Du Ruo's ability with bare hands was no less than that with weapons.
But now, Du Ruo is facing guns, which is a completely different concept. Especially whether it is the scene or Du Ruo's oral statement, it is confirmed that Du Ruo fought hard instead of choosing a sneak attack, so the higher-ups feel it is necessary to understand Du Ruo better and then re-formulate some measures against Du Ruo.
Being able to kill someone with bare hands is a sign of talent and is not uncommon. Being able to cause the effects of a weapon with bare hands is also within control. After all, it is well known that a gun is fast and accurate at a distance of seven steps.
But now Du Ruo has broken this inherent concept. Firearms are no longer invincible. Du Ruo can dodge firearms from twenty meters away, and Du Ruo can also attack from twenty meters away, causing damage no less than that of firearms, so they need to make a rough assessment of Du Ruo, and this is Xing Anming's personal task.
"That was caused by a unique weapon, which can cause a certain amount of damage within a range."
Du Ruo thought about it and gave a vague answer, but he didn't say the scope or what weapon caused it.
He also needed to test the police to some extent. After all, as long as he was not stupid, he would be able to deduce that this so-called unique weapon was the Panlong silk on Du Ruo's wrist. Then Du Ruo wanted to know how the higher-ups would respond.
The Panlong Silk is not Du Ruo's only killer move, so it doesn't matter if he is not allowed to carry it, but this is related to whether he will continue to expose his strength in the future.
"Well, okay, next question."
After Xing Anming and the other police officers nearby took down the information, they stopped asking questions and started looking at the notebook in front of them and continued asking questions.
This was somewhat beyond Du Ruo's expectations. He was originally thinking about how to answer, but he didn't expect that it was just a question. It seemed that whether to answer or not and how to answer was entirely up to Du Ruo.
"You just said that the man called Monkey was holding two guns and shot you in the back ten times, eight times with a pistol and twice with a double-barreled shotgun. The scene we examined also matches what you said. So can you tell me how you dodged the bullets?"
After Xing Anming finished speaking, he looked at Du Ruo with a burning gaze. Even the policeman who was recording nearby looked up with curiosity. This was the conclusion drawn by the technical investigators after investigating and deducing what had happened. Everyone found it incredible at the time, but now it seemed that they could draw the conclusion from Du Ruo's mouth.
"Haha, it's actually very simple. I'm definitely not as fast as a bullet, but I can be faster than someone using a gun."
Du Ruo smiled and gave an answer that was not really an answer.
Xing Anming was still expecting Du Ruo to continue speaking, but it seemed that Du Ruo had no intention of continuing, as if that sentence was all.
"record."
Xing Anming nodded thoughtfully, then spoke to the young policeman who was still in a daze beside him.
"Oh, oh oh."
The young policeman nodded quickly, then lowered his head to take notes, but a big question mark still hung in his mind. "One last question. According to your description and the on-site investigation, you shot and killed two people with two arrows at a distance of 23 meters. Could you please describe it in detail?"
Xing Anming asked the last question. This time he stopped looking at the notebook because this question had been lingering in his mind.
In fact, before coming, they conducted an experiment. They found an armed police officer who was very good at throwing knives. Then they used the same arrow and threw it at the target from 20 meters away.
But the result was not like Du Ruo, where the skull was shot through and only a little tail was left. At a distance of more than 20 meters, it couldn't even hit the target.
Even if they use the flying knives that the armed police are most proficient at, within a range of 20 meters, not to mention the accuracy, they can barely hit the target, and the power is almost non-existent (the flying knives have maximum lethality within 6 meters).
You have to know that Du Ruo's attack was comparable to a pistol bullet, and even some smaller bullets could not completely penetrate the entire head.
"This is very simple. It's a hidden weapon technique. It's not very common. It's a type of hidden weapon Yang Hand, called the Hand-Off Arrow, or the Hand-Swinging Arrow. This kind of long hidden weapon only requires enough strength to use, and the accuracy is relatively easy to control."
Du Ruo spoke very casually and even gestured with his bare hands.
“It’s so simple???”
Xing Anming's mouth twitched after hearing this. If it weren't for the experiment and explanation by the armed police officer who was good at throwing knives, he might have actually believed it.
"It's very simple. The hand-loosening arrow is actually a special type of hidden weapon because it can only be used with the Yang hand technique, and you can also pour all your body's strength into it, causing great damage."
Du Ruo rarely explained this time. After all, this kind of thing is not common, so it doesn't matter if you say it bluntly.
“Can you show me?”
Xing Anming was already a little impatient at this time, and seeing that Du Ruo didn't seem to mind explaining, he brought it up.
"You can, but this..."
Du Ruo nodded and just glanced around, but couldn't find a suitable arrow.
The arrow does not necessarily have to be an arrow, but it cannot be too brittle, so a tree branch will not work, unless Du Ruo transfers "Qi" into it and uses "Qi" to protect the branch. Otherwise, the branch will be thrown out under such a great force and will be directly shattered under the collision, and will not cause any penetrating damage at all.
But at this time, Du Ruo did not want to show his "qi". When his attitude was unclear, it was obviously inappropriate to expose too much.
"Yes, yes, yes. I'll get it."
After saying this, Xing Anming closed his notes and turned to walk towards the car next to him. The car was Xing Anming's own vehicle, and the arrows were also prepared during their practice today. Xing Anming thought they might come in handy, so he just took them with him.
"This is similar to the arrow at the scene. Do we need to set up a target?"
Xing Anming handed the arrow to Du Ruo and winked at another policeman. Upon seeing this, the young policeman quickly picked up the camera and started filming Du Ruo.
"No, the tree in front is about twenty meters away. You can use it as a target."
Du Ruo took the arrow and spoke.
“Swoosh~Puff…”
As soon as Du Ruo finished speaking, he took the arrow in his right hand, moved his body to the left, then turned around suddenly, swung his arm around, and the arrow in his hand flew out and flew straight to a big tree as thick as a bowl twenty meters away. The arrow directly sank into the tree, and the arrow head flew half out of the other side of the tree with a little wood debris, and then got stuck on the tree.
Only a small piece of the entire arrow remained on this side of the tree.
"Sure enough, pure strength can only go so far."
Du Ruo's attack just now was not accompanied by any "qi", it was just pure strength, but it was not only the strength of his arms, but also the additional strength from the twisting of his body.
When he was on the mountain, Du Ruo was attached to the "qi", but at that time he had just dodged, and he did not have just ordinary arm strength, otherwise it would have definitely shot out of his head at that time.
But Du Ruo is already satisfied, so it would be good to keep some tricks.
"this!!"
Xing Anming opened his eyes wide, and then, without caring about anything else, he trotted to the big tree, began to observe it carefully, and even touched it.
Xing Anming knows the power of firearms better than the average person. An ordinary pistol may not be able to penetrate a tree from 20 meters away.
