Chapter 9 The Cause of Death is Initially Determined
The pair of official boots had a black satin and white background, and there was no embroidery on the satin, which was the style worn by the officials of no grade.
Twilight remembers that her father was in a hurry that night.
On that day, there was a murder case outside the city, and when he came back from the autopsy, it was already dark, and his clothes had not been changed. The person who came was in a hurry with the official document, and my father hurriedly followed. The pair of official boots he wore when he walked were stained with yellow mud on the toes.
At this moment, the yellow mud on the tips of a pair of official boots exposed under the straw mat has been soaked in satin, and it has been a few days.
Twilight stared at the tip of the boot, unable to move.
The hunchbacked thin old man stood on the steps, and when he turned around, he saw the young man standing in the courtyard, staring at the straw mat on the ground, and his eyes straightened, so he sneered, "I praised you for being a bold man, and you didn't dare to move when you came here." That's it, since you're afraid, you don't have to open this straw mat to look at it, I'll go find you a rope, you can carry it on your back. ”
"Lift." The boy suddenly spoke.
The old man turned around to get the rope, but when he heard the young man's voice, he didn't react, and turned around and asked, "What did the boy say?" ”
The boy did not speak again, but raised his feet and walked over. He was thin, and the corners of his white-washed clothes were as sharp as the wind in the night, and his steps were as heavy as a rock, but he did not stop a step. Ascending the steps, entering the hall, squatting, raising his hand, the straw mat raised an arc in the meager light, like a long sword cutting through the long night, cutting out a blood.
His move was too resolute and resolute, and the old man at the door was stunned for a moment, his eyes were strange, and he couldn't tell whether he was big or small. It was only at the moment when the straw mat was lifted that he smelled a sour smell coming to his face, and then he came to his senses and exclaimed, "Oops! I said you kid, you're really a stunned kid! Although there is a soap horn burning in this village, you are so reckless that you stepped forward and inhaled the corpse gas, but you are going to get sick! Wait, I'll get you a mask. ”
The mask was only introduced more than ten years ago, and I heard that it was implemented by the daughter of the old man, with a square scarf in the middle, ear cords at both ends, and hung on the ears to cover the mouth and nose when worn, which is much more convenient than the original post-mortem when casually holding a fast cloth towel tied behind the head. And this object is inexpensive, and it can be used if it is made of plain cloth, and it is smoked before using the atractylodes soaphorn to cover the mouth and nose to block the corpse gas, so it soon spread in this line.
Speaking of the daughter of the twilight old, there is nothing that the officials of the states and counties in the south of the Yangtze River don't know, this girl can be called a genius in this line, but unfortunately her father didn't have to be so early, she is a woman after all, she can't really serve in the county government, she can't get the court, she has a daughter's family, how can she live in the future?
The old man sighed, squatted down and put the white lantern he was holding on the ground, leaving light for the young man, and then turned around and walked out of the hall.
The wind picked up in the yard, carrying the moisture after the rain and swept through the treetops, and the ghosts swayed in the moonlight. In the hall, the shadow of the lamp is pale white, a straw mat, a white lamp, a corpse, a teenager, the picture is quiet, a little ghostly.
I don't know how long it took, but the silence was broken by a faint voice.
The voice whined and trembled in the wind, weak and inaudible, but it was full of grief.
"Daddy......"
When the old man went to the hour of half a pillar of incense, when he came back, in addition to carrying a mask in his arms, he also carried a charcoal basin in his hand, and carried a jar of vinegar, planning to pour vinegar on the charcoal fire before the young man left, so that he could beat it over it, and remove the filthy smell on his body, so as not to be infected with corpse disease.
This method is a necessary thing to do after the autopsy, and it is also prepared in Yizhuang for the person who receives the corpse.
He went up the stairs with his things, and when he looked up, the person was stunned.
In the hall, the straw mats, white lights, and corpses were all there, but the young man was gone.
“…… What about people? He put his things down, hunched over into the hall, looked around, and said to himself, "Aren't you afraid of this dead man's appearance and run away?" ”
As soon as the words fell, he suddenly felt a little cold in his neck, and a knife was against him. In the darkness, someone stood behind him, and his voice was cold, "How did my father die?" ”
The old man was startled, and then he heard that the voice belonged to the young man, and he was stunned.
The young man walked around to him, his eyes sinking in the darkness, but his gaze was cold, "Answer my question." ”
The old man didn't come back to his senses, he only stared at the young man, and when he saw the scalpel in his hand, he hissed at him, "You kid...... Is it a puppet? ”
This knife is not known to laymen, but it is impossible not to know Jiangnan's deeds. This is a scalpel, and it is also a new object in this line, which was taken to Yizhuang for an autopsy a few years ago, and it gradually spread. I heard that this set of knives was also drawn by his daughter for the blacksmith to beat, with long handles, thin blades, long and short handles, round and sharp blades, peeling, cutting flesh and removing bones, that is called a sharp! Much better than the old chisel blunt knife. It's just that the parents of the body are affected by the skin, and the deceased is the greatest, unless there is an official order or the permission of the sufferer, the deceased's body cannot be knifed, so this set of knives is rarely used, and the spread is not as widespread as the mask. But as a masterpiece, most people can't put down this set of knives, although they are rarely used, and many people privately make a set back to collect.
But apart from the work, very few people have seen this set of knives. Since this young man has it in his hands, it is very likely that he is a fool, no wonder he dares to come to Yizhuang at night.
"How did my dad die?" The boy didn't answer him, just repeated the question just now.
Only then did the old man notice his words, "Your father? Twilight, you say? I only heard that Twilight has a daughter, but I didn't hear that he has a son......"
"If you don't want to die, don't talk about it." The thin knife in the young man's hand was horizontal, the moonlight reflected the knife light, and the eyes in the knife light were cold.
The old man looked at the sword light, not only was he not afraid, but he lost his temper, his eyes widened, and his voice mentioned, "How did you die, how did you die, you asked me?" The corpse was covered in bruises, and even the blind could see that it had been poisoned! You ask me? ”
This kid looks terrifying, in fact, he is not a ruthless person, if he really wants to kill him, from just now to now, the knife will not always stay three inches in front of his throat, not an inch close.
"I know it was poisoned, I'm asking you, but do you know who poisoned it." The young man's voice was unusually calm, but every word was like spitting cold ice.
Father's corpse has begun*, with the climate in the south of the Yangtze River in June, it has been four or five days since his death, and the corpse spots have begun to appear light green, which is almost compatible with the color of the corpse. But when she knelt in front of the body for a while, she smelled a faint smell of bitter almonds and suspected cyanide poisoning.
Ancient toxin extraction techniques were very unsophisticated, and most of the poisons came from plants and animals, and the plants containing cyanide were the easiest to find were cassava and bitter almonds. But these two foods must be eaten in large quantities or untreated to be poisoned, and it is impossible for the father to eat a large amount of these two foods because he is a little toxicological.
Since it is not the poisoning of gluttony during eating, it is someone who poisoned it.
Again, the ancient toxin extraction technology is very immature, and those who can extract cyanide must be masters of drug production. And those who can have such poison in their hands are either rich or expensive!
Dad was poisoned, and the murderer was most likely a powerful person.
She wanted to know who this person was! ――
