Chapter 6 Post-mortem

"You have to prepare, the autopsy is not without tools......" Lu Li looked stunned, his voice was slightly low, as if he remembered something.

Daniel Zhang slapped his thigh, "Yes!" You waitβ€”"

Lu Li looked at Daniel Zhang, who walked briskly towards the warehouse, his eyes were slightly dazed.

He suddenly remembered his brother in his previous life. My brother has his own forensic box, which contains a lot of tools, sampling and dissection, and can interpret the corpse from many aspects and angles, but the ancient conditions are insufficient, and many things cannot be examined...... Where did Daniel Zhang think?

He looked at Zhang Meng, Zhang Meng shrugged his shoulders and said he didn't know, and looked at Cao, who smiled, and there seemed to be excitement in his eyes.

Lu Li was even more puzzled.

A moment later, Daniel Zhang strode back, still carrying a box in his hand.

The box was no more than two feet long, less than a foot wide, and one foot and three points high, with a camphor wood texture, nearly black and dark brown, I don't know if it was cherished by the previous owner, or painted with tung oil, it looked very smooth, and the corners could not be scratched.

Daniel Zhang offered treasures, put the box in front of Lu Li, Lu Li was a little surprised, "This is ......"

The box opens, and there are three layers inside. The bottom layer is two grids, which occupies the largest space, the middle one is very thin, and it feels like it can't hold many things, and the top layer is slightly deeper, drawing two rows of ten small grids, the small grids are of different sizes, and they gradually get smaller from left to right.

Daniel Zhang gently stroked the box, and his voice was low, "...... This is my grandfather's box. ”

Lu Li suddenly realized.

He remembered that he had followed his brother to take ancient forensic related courses, and Song Ci's had studied it carefully, analyzed and researched, and naturally knew how to do it in ancient times and what was in the box.

"On the bottom layer, put the atractylodes soap horn. The middle layer is placed with pen, ink, paper and inkstone, which is convenient for writing the autopsy grid, which can be pulled out and covered on the top. Ten small compartments, each with warm water, wine, vinegar, white plum, ginger slices, green onions, pepper, salt, dregs, and small jars of grinding things......"

Lu Li read it carefully, and looked at Daniel Zhang with a smile, "Uncle Zhang, am I right?" ”

"You really understand!" Daniel Zhang looked very excited. The young man in front of him stood smiling, slender and green, with an indescribable confident and calm posture. He is no longer the small, gloomy child of the past, he has grown up, and his young shoulders are enough to bear the world.

"You've grown up......"

Daniel Zhang's voice sighed, but Lu Li began to be full of confidence. He has solved many cases with his brother, and he thinks that he has enough knowledge, even if he comes to ancient times, he doesn't believe that he can't do it if he doesn't lose the things in his head!

"The person to be tested today has not been dead for a long time, and some things are not ready, just atractylodes, soap, wine vinegar, gauze, it should be enough." Lu Li looked at Cao Shi with a smile, "I have seen Atractylodes soaphorn gauze at home, and there must be wine vinegar in my aunt's kitchen." "Actually, it would be better if there was rattan paper or white paper, but Lu Li knew that the Zhang family didn't have these two things, so he didn't mention them.

Cao Shi turned his back and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and responded in a crisp voice, "Yes, there are all, I'll go and get them with you right away!" ”

Zhang Meng saw that it was so lively, "I'm going to do an autopsy too!" ”

Daniel Zhang didn't agree, "You're still ...... young"

"I'm not small! Oak brother can go! Zhang Meng gave Lu Li a look and motioned for him to help.

Lu Li agreed with Daniel Zhang's opinion this time, Zhang Meng was a little scared to see the corpse by the river, and it was definitely not good to look at it closely, he gently reassured, "It's too dark today, Uncle Zhang can't take care of the two of us, why don't you follow next time?" Next time you find a daytime, when there are many people and you don't need special care, you go with me......" He looked at Daniel Zhang, "I promise, I will definitely persuade Uncle Zhang to take you." ”

Zhang Meng looked at Daniel Zhang, Daniel Zhang's face was very strict, he knew that this matter could not be changed, poor Baba looked at Lu Li, "Then Brother Li, you promised, remember to honor next time!" ”

Lu Li touched his head, "Okay." ”

The things were prepared quickly, the box was not too big, Daniel Zhang was still afraid of pressing Lu Li's shoulders, carrying it on his back, and the two of them played the lantern and walked to Yizhuang.

A place like Yizhuang can be eerie at any time, especially at night.

There is no moon at night, the sound of the water in the moat spreads far away, and there is a faint wolf howl in the deep mountains, which is a very new experience for Lu Li.

"Scared?" Daniel Zhang took a step over and smiled widely, "In fact, there is nothing to be afraid of the dead, and nothing can be done when they die." ”

"yes...... Sometimes it's more terrible to be alive. ”

Lu Li's slightly sighing words made Daniel Zhang stunned, and only after a while did he pat him on the shoulder and praise, "I know this at a young age, it's not bad." ”

The one who kept the village was an old man.

Daniel Zhang patted the door for a long time before he came over, thinking that he had some ears behind his ears. The old man had gray hair, looked sixty years old, very thin, with some bows on his back, and his eyes were a little cloudy, and when he saw Daniel Zhang squinting and recognizing people, he smiled, "You are here." ”

"Bring the juniors to open your eyes." Daniel Zhang greeted him, and then turned to Lu Li, "This is the old Wu head of Yizhuang, everyone calls him Wu Bo." ”

Lu Li greeted with crooked eyebrows, "Uncle Wu is good." ”

Daniel Zhang didn't specifically say what to bring people to do, nor did he make much introduction, the old Wu Tou's eyes fixed on the box in Daniel Zhang's hand, and glanced up and down at Lu Li, "This young man is really good." ”

After that, he yawned and walked back, and explained to Daniel Zhang in a vague voice, "You know where the things are, remember to close the door when you leave......

The old Wu Tou had a kind attitude and a slow gait, no different from ordinary old people, but Lu Li somehow always felt a little disobedient. He seemed to have seen the old man look at him for the last time, and there seemed to be a glint in his eyes......

Daniel Zhang answered, found an oil lamp from the corner of the house and lit it, blew out the lantern in the hands of the two people, held the lamp and walked east, pushed open a door, and turned back to Lu Li, "This way." ”

The people who deal with corpses are all a bit eccentric. Lu Li didn't feel hostility, and he didn't have time to think about it right now, so he shook his head and let go.

He followed Daniel Zhang into the room and found that the inside was not very large, there were a total of five tables for the corpse, and only one had someone on it, which should be the corpse to be examined today.

When Daniel Zhang put the box on the ground, he didn't need Daniel Zhang's help, took out the Cangshu soap horn, found the small basin in the corner of the house, and put it in to light it.

Laying out the things to be used one by one, washing his hands with wine vinegar and roasting the fire, Lu Li quietly looked at Daniel Zhang, "Uncle Zhang, let's start." ”

Daniel Zhang looked at the paper, ink, pen and inkstone placed on the side, "It just so happens that I know how to read, I'll help write the autopsy list." ”

Lu Li smiled, "Okay." ”

The winter is cold, the corpse is newly dead, there is no need to prepare too much, Lu Li took the ginger slices in his mouth, and was silent for a moment before slowly pulling up the white cloth covering the corpse.

"Examination - the deceased was male, strong, divergent, and about forty years old." He reached out and pressed the corpse, "The limbs are stiff." ”

"The face is slightly swollen, there is white foam on the mouth and nose, the complexion is pale, * slightly wrinkled, and there are goosebumps between the skin......"

Lu Li gently bent over and lifted the eyelids of the corpse, and the deceased's cornea was cloudy and not obvious. There are pinpoint-like hemorrhagic spots scattered under the conjunctiva, which is a phenomenon of asphyxia.

"The abdomen is slightly distended, there is a sound of tapping, there are red spots on the back, shoulders and buttocks, suspected to be corpse spots, the fingers are in the shape of eagle claws, and there is something wrapped between the fingers-"

Lu Li suddenly stopped when he saw this, and called Daniel Zhang over, "Uncle Zhang, come and see-"

Daniel Zhang looked over along Lu Li's point, and saw a piece of white cloth wrapped between the deceased's middle finger and ring finger, as if it was ......, "Clothing material?" ”

"Approximately."

Daniel Zhang paused and asked Lu Li, "It is possible to determine the cause of death and the time of death?" ”

Lu Li, taking into account the climatic characteristics and the water conditions of the corpse, quickly concluded, "This person drowned before his death, and he had been dead for about seven hours." ”

"It's unitary time...... So this man died at the end of the day? ”

Lu Li heard Zhang Meng say what happened to the discovery of the body, and nodded, "I'm afraid that when the husband found him, he had just died." ”

Daniel Zhang looked at the corpse with a look of embarrassment, "The deceased had a fight with people, and now there is no trace of the corpse......"

"Uncle Zhang wants to ask me if I can make the scars visible?" Lu Li took the wine vinegar in the box, his eyebrows and eyes crooked, "I can do it." ”

Before the wine vinegar left home, he asked Cao's to scald it with water, and it was still hot. Lu Li sprinkled wine vinegar on the white gauze, wiped the corpse, especially the neck, chest, belly and other vital positions, and did not let go of the limbs, wiped three times in a row, he took the old quilt in the house, wrapped the corpse, clapped his hands, "Just wait for a while." ”

His series of movements were not very fast, but they were very smooth, without a trace of panic, and even the movements were very gentle, as if he was worried about disturbing the deceased, and gave the deceased a lot of respect.

He really can! And not at all afraid!

Daniel Zhang held the pen in his hand tightly, his eyes were a little excited, "You...... Very good. ”

"Of course." Lu Li winked at him mischievously and pulled him to sit aside, "Anyway, I have to wait for a while, Uncle Zhang can tell me about that young man?" ”

"What's so inconvenient about that." Daniel Zhang sat beside Lu Li and slowly spoke, "That young man was still found by you for me." ”

It turned out that the young man that Lu Li noticed this morning was the one who had an argument with the deceased last night, and even moved his hands.

At the beginning of last night, the deceased had just finished talking business with someone, and his heart was refreshed, so he went to the liquor store to drink. The young man chartered the wine shop one step earlier, and no one was allowed to enter, and the deceased may have been happy to talk about it before, or he had drunk a lot of wine and was excited, and he couldn't allow the young man to spoil his fun, and the two quarreled when they came and went.

The young man was not stronger than the deceased, and he did not take advantage of the dispute, so in a fit of anger he scattered the money, saying that whoever helped him would have the money. There are many people around the wine shop, and it is inevitable that there will be people who see money, and the general will step forward, and the deceased saw that there were many people around the young man, and he didn't want to suffer losses and cause trouble, so he scolded a few times and left......

"The young man confessed that he and the deceased only had this one intersection, although the deceased was not killed by him, but after all, there was a conflict, and the person died, and it was common sense for him to be afraid in his heart." Daniel Zhang frowned slightly, "But the family of the deceased didn't know where they heard that we had found the boy, so they rushed over and grabbed the boy and didn't let go of ......."

With Daniel Zhang's narration, time passed little by little, and after Daniel Zhang finished speaking, Lu Li estimated that it was time.

Wine and vinegar are good things, which will increase the rate of molecular diffusion and infiltration, denature, darken the color, and increase the transmissibility of the skin, so that the scars are obvious.

Hot wine vinegar, more than half an hour is enough.

He lifted the quilt and removed the gauze from the corpse, and sure enough, the bruises appeared.

Daniel Zhang looked at the deep and shallow bruises that appeared on the corpse, and looked surprised, "I haven't seen it for a long time...... I remember seeing my grandfather like this for the first time when I was a child, and I thought I had encountered a miracle. ”

Lu Li smiled slightly, carefully examining the location of the corpse's scars.

Gradually, the smile on his face disappeared, and his brow furrowed slightly.

In the end, he wiped his hands with gauze soaked in warm water, and his expression was solemn, "Uncle Zhang, he killed the deceased, and the murderer must not be that young man." ”。
