Chapter Eighty-Seven: Cremation After Death
Without a good foundation for law and order, this is a factor of instability in the world.
Even the ancient times of the earth are not comparable, even in ancient times, when you go to other places to live in the city, you must have an identity certificate, and it is impossible to have this kind of situation where a guest dies in the inn, and the inn does not know who the dead person is.
However, Du Jing also knew that this could not be corrected overnight, since this was the case, then there was only an autopsy.
He opened the just-opened forensic center from the technical investigation module of the system, took out rubber gloves and kept them on his hands, as for the other protective clothing, Du Jing did not wear them together, mainly because those things were too unusual.
It's also easier to understand only with gloves.
After seeing Du Jing put on gloves, Zhao Sisi became excited, leaned over to Du Jing's side and asked, "What are you going to test? Do you want to burn the body before death or after death?"
Du Jing nodded and said: "This is a point, if the body is cremated after death, it is also necessary to find out where his fatal injuries are, and look for features from various parts of his body that can prove his identity." ”
As soon as these words came out, many onlookers were surprised, looking at the corpse, can they still tell whether it was burned before death or after death?
That's amazing, isn't it?
At this time, there were more and more people gathered outside this room to watch the excitement, and they all wanted to see how Du Jing judged whether the corpse was dead before death or dismembered after death.
Seeing Du Jing walk into the corpse, they all held their breath.
Not to mention whether or not something can be tested, just that Du Jing dared to walk in front of a thing that had been burned to the point of no human form and touch that thing, it was all worthy of admiration.
But I saw that the corpse was in the shape of a fist, curled up on the bed, and a large amount of the quilt on his body had been carbonized and turned into ashes, and the person who lifted the carbonized quilt had also been completely carbonized.
It seems that Wang Wei undercounted one fire point, and another fire point was the body of the deceased, but this does not determine whether it was burned before death or after death.
There may be another possibility, that is, the deceased was directly splashed with flammable materials in his sleep and then ignited to death.
In fact, there are many ways to determine whether the body was burned before death or after death.
One is to examine the changes in the human tissues on the surface of the body, whether it is burned before death or after death, the muscles of the body will curl up due to the high temperature to form a fist shape, just like the deceased in the present.
Before death, the body of the burned deceased will often have erythema, blisters, and tissue necrosis such as inflammation and congestion on the edge of the blister, and although blisters will also appear after death, the blisters are generally black-brown, and congestion and inflammation will basically not occur.
However, in the face of the current corpse that has been completely burned to carbon, the carbonization has masked the corpse's tissue change reaction.
However, there is a second method, which is to test for carboxyhemoglobin, because fire causes carbon monoxide gas to be produced, so only the amount of carbon monoxide in the blood of the corpse needs to be tested to determine whether the body was burned before death or after death.
However, the primary forensic center did not have this kind of inspection ability, so Du Jing had no choice but to give up.
However, the third method, which is very simple to use, is to examine the soot in the respiratory tract of the corpse. When the burned person was burned, he was still breathing, and the soot released during the burn would be inhaled into his own respiratory tract, and there would be mucosal congestion and edema in the stomach, nose, and throat, while the cremation of the corpse after death did not react as above.
"Take it, take a picture of his nose for me. ”
"Huh?" Zhao Sisi suddenly screamed when Du Jing opened his mouth in this situation, and seemed to realize his gaffe and explained: "I'm not scared!"
Du Jing ignored Zhao Sisi's three hundred taels of silver here, under the irradiation of the flashlight, carefully distinguished the situation of the nasal cavity and respiratory tract, and after confirming that there was no congestion and edema, he took out a test and wiped the deceased's mouth, nose and throat, and then said: "The deceased should be cremated after death!"
Everyone present was shocked, and the quiet scene was noisy again.
"How can you see that? Just look at your nose and mouth, what can you see?"
"I don't know, in short, this Du Shenzhu is very godly, we believe in him. ”
Zhao Sisi turned off the flashlight, still thinking about Du Jing's conclusion, she was the second closest person to the corpse besides Du Jing, but he really didn't find anything to prove in the deceased's nose and mouth.
Du Jing glanced at Zhao Sisi and asked with a smile: "You should know the reason, after all, you are the closest and you can see it clearly." ”
Zhao Sisi stopped asking these words, Zhao Sisi glared at Du Jing viciously, he must have asked himself on purpose, this guy must have wanted to humiliate himself fiercely.
"What is the easiest way to tell if a person is dead or not?" Du Jing asked with a smile.
"Snort?" Zhao Sisi said, after saying this answer, Zhao Sisi suddenly felt enlightened, it turned out to be like this! I didn't expect this Du Jing to be so smart, and he knew how to save some face for himself.
She said to Du Jing proudly: "You are smart!"
Zhao Sisi understood, but the onlookers didn't understand, especially Wang Wei asked anxiously: "County Lord, how did Du Tou'er see it?"
Zhao Sisi, who is a good teacher, expressed his understanding very loudly, and for a while everyone praised Du Jing.
"Du Zhutou is really a god catcher!"
"I didn't expect people to burn like this, and I can still see this, it's amazing!"
"Cut, he Du Jing is a talent, if he puts these thoughts on cultivation, I estimate that he will already be a master of the Qi Gathering Period!"
"What are you talking about? Do you need this? Don't you see the county lord following his ass all day long? That's Du Zhutou's bodyguard? Do you have a bodyguard in the early days of raising Dan?"
For a while, a sour smell suddenly appeared in the field, Zhao Sisi glared at the person who said that last thing viciously, and then leaned behind Du Jing and asked, "What are you going to do next?"
Du Jing thought for a while and said: "Let's determine the cause of death first, now the room is burned in a mess, basically the suspect has a certain sense of anti-reconnaissance, and deliberately destroys the traces of the scene that can leave footprints and fingerprints, it seems that he has studied a few cases I have solved." At the moment, only when the cause of death is determined and the source of the corpse is determined, there will be a direction of investigation. ”
He knew that this suspect was here for himself, otherwise it would be redundant to set fire to the corpse, because this person was not known to anyone at the inn.
