Yang Xianmao thought about it and said, "I have to cut his calf to confirm whether his leg bone has been broken and grafted, you have to explain this to the two old men." It's so troublesome, it's better to just ask them to identify it. ”

Tie Dan shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I said the same thing before, but then I was forced to do nothing, and the two old men told the truth." Their son had been disobedient since he was a child, so he left home to do business around the age of fifteen or sixteen, and almost never returned home. For more than 20 years, their husband and wife have not seen their children, but occasionally they heard from their fellow villagers that their son died in Xuanzhou, and the two old men moved their hearts of compassion to collect the child's body, so if they really want to put the body in front of them, it is said that it has been decomposed and deformed, even if it is a living person in front of them, it may not be able to recognize it at once, or confirm that the leg is broken, and then identify the characteristics of the character is more certain. ”

"I see, and that's true. ”

Yang Xianmao finally understood why he had to ask this Lang Zhong to participate in the search for the body.

After discussing with Tie Dan, he decided to go to the mass grave early the next morning to look for it. These days, when Yang Xianmao was busy walking the streets and alleys to practice medicine, Tie Dan and they collected dozens of corpses that died of illness, and no one collected them and buried them in mass graves, plus the ownerless corpses that were buried in mass graves before, I am afraid that there are hundreds. Because the fellow villager couldn't tell exactly when his son died, he didn't have the exact time to narrow down the scope accordingly, so he could only find the corpses one by one.

The next morning, Yang Xianmao took his own small box and went out with a signboard banner, he first found Tie Dan, Tie Dan had already prepared a frame car, which he usually used to collect the corpse, and he could drag it away by carrying it by hand, and the two people dragged the car out of the city.

There was no snow on this day, and the snow on the ground was still relatively thick in the past few days. There was no one to clear the snow on the official roads outside the city, but there were more cars and horses, so the snow was crushed into ice, and you had to be very careful when walking.

They came to the mass grave, and after a few days of not seeing each other, the mass grave had been submerged in a blanket of snow, and the high and low grave bags that had been covered by snow had become hillocks of ice and snow, and the soil could no longer be seen. Fortunately, there was a clear sign where they buried the body, which was a large stone that was one person high. They quickly found the large rock, cut away the snow, and began to dig up the body.

Of course, this kind of hard work is iron-egged, he did not let Yang Xianmao participate, Yang Xianmao only needs to find the lame person from the corpses after he digs up the corpses, so that he can send them to the old couple to identify whether it is their child.

The corpses were buried relatively deeply, and the ground froze under the cold. The iron eggs were dug very hard, and every time the hoe went down, it could dig up a lump of crusted soil the size of a palm. It took him half an hour to finally dig up the pit where he had been buried, take out a corpse, and examine it for Yang Xianmao first.

Then he continued to dig to the side. Because the corpses were frozen into hard lumps by ice and snow, they were stuck together with each other, and it was difficult to pry them open, and they had to dig up a larger area to get the bodies out.

Yang Xianmao cut open the trouser tube of the corpse's left leg and examined whether the leg was deformed. Because the lame side will cause the leg to be deformed.

The corpse was not deformed. But he still used a scalpel to cut the hard leg muscles, all the way to the bone, and then checked the leg bone for fractures. No fractures were found in this body,

It was very difficult to dig up the corpse on Tie Dan's side, far less fast than Yang Xianmao's side, because he only needed to cut his leg to check it, and he could examine a corpse in a few moments. Instead of waiting, find a way to help.

So he helped Tie Dan move the body out, so that it could be faster. Tie Dan was in charge of digging, and he was in charge of moving the frozen corpse out for examination of the legs, so that it was much faster.

More than a dozen corpses were turned out, and the legs were all intact. Suddenly, Yang Xianmao dug up a new corpse, and felt a little weird, because the corpse's heart obviously collapsed.

This was something he inadvertently pressed when he was pulling the corpse with his hand, and if it weren't for the hollow with his hand, it would have been almost impossible to see from the appearance alone.

This kind of depression is definitely not a normal human body structure, nor is it caused by any disease, it is most likely formed by trauma, which makes Yang Xianmao's heart move. So, use scissors to cut the knotted garment and look at the back. Sure enough, there was a palm-sized depression in the back of the heart, and he stroked and pressed it with his hand, and found that the deceased's vertebrae had been broken, and the bones in the collapsed area were also shattered.

To further confirm the diagnosis, he cut open the deceased's skin with a scalpel to examine the bones. Sure enough, the bone was shattered into pieces.

Judging from his clothes, this man was ragged and haggard, and at first glance he looked like a beggar who had been malnourished for a long time. The other party can beat a person's bones into crushed fractures with one palm, which shows that the martial arts are extremely high, how can such a person with strong martial arts poison a poor beggar next time?

Yang Xianmao called Tie Dan over to show him, and Tie Dan gasped after seeing it, saying that it must be murder.

That's for sure, because the deceased's heart was beaten to pieces, and it was impossible for him to form himself, only murder was possible. As an apprentice of Yamen Kang, Tie Dan participated in many case autopsies with his master, and saw different murdered corpses, so he immediately came to this conclusion.

Yang Xianmao asked, "What should I do now?"

Tie Dan thought for a while and said, "Don't worry, just bury the body again, pretend not to know!"

Yang Xianmao was stunned for a moment, and asked very puzzled, "Why?"

"For the official master, they are more than one thing is better than one less, some cases can be covered up in the past, because the murder case must be solved, if the murder case can not be solved, it will affect the political performance, every parent official only hopes that the ground under his jurisdiction is too peaceful, there are no thieves, let alone murder, and everything will be fine when he is a peace officer. ”

"However, you can't ignore the murder case! I didn't think that you would have such an idea, and it was because you were a puppet of the yamen. ”

Tie Dan's face turned red, and he was a little embarrassed to say: "I didn't mean that, to tell you the truth, our Emperor Wu Yueguo decided to surrender to the land, and the news has spread in the Yamen, and the officials of the Yamen are thinking about how to keep their official positions in the Great Song Dynasty at this time, and no one cares about any homicide cases at this time." I don't know if the official hat can be kept, and do you still have the heart to care about this? Now even if it is reported to the official, no one will pay attention to it. It would be more appropriate to bury the body first and wait for the Great Song Dynasty to send officials to report it. ”

Yang Xianmao was relieved: "It's reasonable for you to say that, that's good, then listen to you." ”

Then digging up several more bodies was unearthed. Suddenly, Yang Xianmao found something obviously strange on a newly dug up corpse. -- The body had two dents in its body, one in the shoulder, in which the entire shoulder blade was shattered, and the other in the ribs, in which the entire body collapsed. Judging from the size of the scars, it is roughly similar to the previous corpse, and from this point of view, it may be the same murderer!

Yang Xianmao hurriedly used scissors to cut the clothes open and check, and sure enough, he cut the skin with a scalpel to check, and the shoulder blade was also comminuted and fractured, as were the ribs. When I opened the abdominal cavity, I found that the liver had been shattered, and the abdominal cavity was full of blood, of course, frozen into ice cubes.

The corpse was also a scrawny ordinary beggar, and there was nothing unusual about it.

Two bodies that were obviously violently murdered were found one after another, and Tie Dan was also a little panicked.

Yang Xianmao asked him to recall where the two corpses were loaded onto the truck and transported here to be buried, and Tie Dan smiled bitterly and said that in this troubled autumn, there are as many beggars who flee the famine and ask for food, and they have to collect the corpses every day, but where do they remember where they were collected.

Yang Xianmao said: "If you see two murders with the same method in a row, you can't sit idly by, otherwise there is likely to be the next one." We must report to the authorities! No matter how the government handles it, we must do it. Otherwise, how can I bear it!"

Tie Dan nodded and said, "Okay, I listen to you, you have a point, we'll transport these two corpses back to Lei Dutou later, and let him deal with them himself!"

Continue to look down for the results. What made Yang Xianmao and Tie Dan extremely shocked was that after discovering the two killed victims, they found three more corpses, all with obvious scars on their bodies, some with broken heads, some with broken hearts and lungs, all of which were broken into pieces by the bones of the collapsed place, and the force was very heavy.

At this time, both of them made up their minds to report to the official. Because the modus operandi is the same, it is obviously a serial homicide. If the murderers are not arrested in a timely manner, one after another will be killed.

Several more corpses were excavated in a row, and finally, Yang Xianmao found fracture marks on the leg of a corpse dug up, and after dissecting the leg muscles, it was found that it was an old fracture, but the bone grafting technique was not good, and the bone was crooked and became lame.

Tie Dan roughly recognized the appearance of the corpse, which matched what the old couple said, and confirmed that this corpse should be the corpse of the son who died in a foreign country that the old couple was looking for.

Tie Dan put the body on the cart, and the two dragged the cart towards the city. If they want to drag all the five corpses away, they can't drag them for the time being, so they will put them here for the time being, and let him deal with them after reporting to Lei Dutou.
