Chapter 489: Commentary
Xun Ze didn't say much, and started with the stiffness of the corpse.
Old man Liu is very thin and not tall. In layman's terms, it's just after death. In fact, the hanged corpse is not as terrible as the legend suggests, at least not this corpse. Of course, it is indispensable that the face is blue, the eyes are slightly bald, and the tip of the tongue is also exposed, and it is also blue.
These are all signs of hanging, but as for whether it is self-narrowing or other narrowness, let's talk about it after testing! Even if she is self-contained, the red lady will not be guilty, and she didn't hang herself, but there will be some trouble.
After a while, Xun Ze said: "The deceased probably died this morning...... About four quarters. ”
Nie Shuyao continued: "According to the palace, this time is right, it was the darkness before dawn, and it was also the time when people slept the deepest, even if they made some movement in front of the gate of the Red Lady, they would not be heard. ”
Sun Changping wiped the sweat from his forehead again, and said in his heart: "Isn't the eldest princess a woman afraid?" And with such certainty, how did she know this? Sounds like you've seen it with your own eyes. ”
But he didn't dare to say this, and pursed his mouth tightly.
Master Sun beside him also frowned, this is a good opportunity for their young master, if the young master's case-handling ability can get the blue eyes of the eldest princess, the future is limitless.
When the eldest lady returned to her parents' house the year before last, she said that a strange woman had solved a case in Yangzhou, and her own young master had to rely on this. finally became a lieutenant of the southern city, although the official position is not big, but he can learn real skills. With the financial support of the eldest lady and the uncle, the old man will be able to develop in the criminal department in a few years.
But today's young master's table doesn't seem to be very good. So Master Sun is in a hurry. I couldn't help but think of the eldest lady's instructions again, and I had to ask the master about this when I went back.
The post-mortem continues.
Nie Shuyao explained again: "The corpse's face is bruised, the tip of its tongue is exposed, and its eyes are white. ”
At this time, Xun Ze put his finger into the deceased's mouth and touched it, and said, "The hyoid bone is broken." Suffocated to death. Lifting the deceased's chin again, he looked closely at the hanged rope ditch and said, "Horseshoe-shaped ......." ”
Then he frowned, and looked at the stamina of the deceased. exclaimed: "It's even connected, is this possible?" ”
Nie Shuyao was also frowning, "Look carefully." ”
Xun Ze almost lay on the neck of the deceased at this time, and said, "Suogou is dark brown. Excoriation. Subcutaneous bleeding should be caused by a strong twine the thickness of the thumb. The front is deep and the back is shallow, and he struggled before death, and the cable groove behind is forked, and the slightly lighter ones are joined together and there are traces of knots. ”
As he spoke, he paused and said to himself, "Unlikely." ”
He looked at the deceased's whole body again and said, "This person is short and thin. The big root is at most ninety pounds. There is no ** reaction in the lower body, it is unlikely! ”
Nie Shuyao was pondering. There is no one to explain. But there were still many people in the lobby, but no one dared to say a word.
Sun Changping didn't understand much, and asked in a low voice: "May I ask Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, what is Suogou?" ”
What he asked was what everyone wanted to ask, and those officials and others all set their eyes on her.
Nie Shuyao glanced at Sun Changping, and saw that although there were still traces of fear on his face, he was still trying to learn and restrain himself, so he nodded and smiled slightly, "Not bad." ”
Explained again: "Suogou is also called hanged rope ditch, hanged ditch, which is the indentation of the hanging rope on the neck of the deceased. This is an important clue to determine whether he hanged himself or himself, and it is very important.
Just like this time, the front of the ditch is one in the back but there are forks, and one is combined together with traces of knots, just this can say that this old man Liu is not self-narrow, he was strangled from behind, and then carefully hung in front of the door of the red lady. How can this be reached? First of all, it is necessary to understand that the cord groove is generally horseshoe-shaped. ”
As she spoke, she drew a "U" in mid-air with her fingers so that it was easy to understand, and continued: "However, this is not the case with Old Man Liu's rope ditch. Secondly, there are three conditions that may cause strangulation marks on the entire neck. One is that the deceased was very fat, the flesh on his neck was sunk in, and the weather was bad and windy, and the body hung on it and dangled back and forth.
Second, tie the hanging rope first and then drill your head into it, and the thing under your feet will be strangled deeper and deeper. Third, someone strangled him and then hung him up. In this way, the strangulation marks on the neck will not overlap so easily, or if the front coincides, the back will not coincide.
Seeing that Old Man Liu is so thin, the first possibility is ruled out. Captain Sun, who relieved Old Man Liu is there? How did the rope he hanged himself knot? ”
Sun Changping said: "Yes, it is indeed a strong hemp rope with the thickness of a thumb, and the back of the neck is open and unknotted. ”
Nie Shuyao smiled slightly, "So Old Man Liu didn't hang himself voluntarily, he was killed and hung in front of the Red Lady's door, so as to blame her, or force her." Now does Captain Sun understand? Who is most likely to do this? ”
Sun Changping was sweating again, and squeaked: "Please answer the eldest princess." ”
Nie Shuyao frowned, this person is quite honest, I don't know, I don't know. Still, she admires this kind of honest person.
"Who is the most beneficial for the red lady to be wronged? Moreover, the law of this dynasty does not say that a seven-year-old girl was sold as a child bride, and when she was eight years old, her four-year-old husband fell ill and died. The mother-in-law accepted the red lady as her daughter, and she has the obligation to remarry the son of the Liu family's eldest house for her long-dead husband to continue the offspring?
What does this mean? It shows that the red lady is no longer a child daughter-in-law, and she no longer has the obligation to continue the offspring for the second room of the Liu family, and she is still combined with the brother of his uncle's family, which is not a mess. Lun? She is now the daughter of Aunt Liu!
Moreover, Emperor Taizu of this dynasty set a law to prohibit the survival of child brides. The red lady is not anyone's little daughter-in-law, she is just the righteous daughter of Aunt Liu! Now that Aunt Liu has passed away, she has the right to decide where she belongs, and it has nothing to do with the Liu family. ”
Speaking of this, Nie Shuyao looked around the lobby and said, "But if someone is dead, this matter must be thoroughly investigated!" However, the case of Old Man Liu's hanging has nothing to do with the Red Lady! ”
"Bang Bang!" I don't know when, the door of the lobby opened, and there were people standing outside, all applauding when they heard Nie Shuyao's words.
Someone said: "Her Royal Highness the eldest princess said it well, right!" The red lady is a poor child, if it weren't for her, Aunt Liu would have gone a long time ago. ”
The more you say it sentence by sentence, the higher your voice is, and you praise the red lady and scold Liu Badshui.
Nie Shuyao also looked at the red lady and smiled.
The red lady cried loudly, knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing to Nie Shuyao, from now on she is finally no longer a child daughter-in-law who is bullied, she is not a child daughter-in-law!
At this moment, Xun Ze picked up the deceased's hand and said, "Princess, there are dander and blood stains in the deceased's nails. ”
Nie Shuyao continued: "This must have been left by the person who strangled Old Man Liu. Check out Liu Badshui's arm! ”
"Someone!" Sun Changping gave an order, and his own tall official stepped forward to hold down Liu Badshui to untie him.
Liu Badshui was frightened and struggled to run, but when the official forcibly rolled up his sleeves, the scratches on his two arms were visible.
For a while, everyone understood that scolding Liu Bad Water was not a thing, and he would be punished by God.
Nie Shuyao said softly: "The truth is revealed!" (To be continued......)
