The Hidden Dragon in the Abyss Chapter 65 A Strange Murder
Chen Ye was eating, and the people from the government came over to call Chen Ye, saying that there was a bizarre case, which involved a murder case, and some clan rules, so he called Chen Ye to come over to help him and see if there was any big breakthrough.
It turned out to be a squire from a nearby village, who died suddenly when he spent candles in the cave room, and then many people said that the bride was Kefu, many people pointed fingers, and the family elders even wanted to put the bride to death to comfort the squire.
Chen Ye felt the squire's mansion and asked the bride at that time, what was the situation at that time? Because the squire was dead, in order to restore the situation at that time, the bride said the general situation, and Chen Ye restored the scene while restoring it.
Here is the squire's point of view""
"Lady, I'm coming," I said as I walked to the bedside, ready to lift the lady's hijab.
The lady's hijab was lifted by me, and the lady grabbed her clothes with both hands, her face was a little nervous and a little happy.
Suddenly a gust of wind blew and the candle went out, and at this time I felt dizzy and uncomfortable, and I suddenly fell to the ground, convulsing and foaming at the mouth.
"Husband, husband, what's wrong with you," the bride shouted.
The bride touched my snort, and there was not the slightest hint of life.
"Someone, someone," shouted the bride
Is the general situation like this, Chen Ye vividly restored the situation at that time, and the bride's panicked screams. Faced with Chen Ye's question, the bride nodded yes.
"Didn't you tell me, it's the same as imitating" Chen Ye looked at the bride.
"Uh-huh, yes," said the bride.
"What about the corpses?" Chen Ye wanted to see the corpse a little.
"The body has been buried, they say I'm unlucky, and they're going to bury me, I'm afraid, so I'm going to report to the official" The bride was a little frightened, hoping to get a reasonable answer, otherwise she might be disposed of by the clan rules.
"How many days have you been buried?"
"It's been five days" Hearing the bride's answer, Chen Ye was a little speechless, it's been so long.
It took five days for their family to report the crime, and most of the corpses had begun to break in five days, and it was a hot day at this time, just by relying on coming to report the case, if there was no special evidence, in the end, they would be busy and empty, and they would offend the squire's relatives and friends
"I want to open the coffin for an autopsy," Chen Ye said loudly, his eyes signaling that Ma Shang wanted to cooperate with him.
Marchand asked the squire's family to take them to the burial site, and instructed several officials to start opening the coffin for autopsy, and when the coffin was opened, a foul smell came out.
"Wow" Chen Ye vomited out all the food he ate, and the others couldn't bear it anymore and covered their mouths and noses one after another.
"Why are you doing this? Chen Ye "Wang Ma Shang came over and patted Chen Ye on the back to make him more comfortable, and said bitterly. In fact, this case can be directly characterized as a malignant disease, and it can be directly decided without opening the can, and the rest of the process can be solved.
Chen Ye wiped his mouth, looked at the rotting corpse in the coffin, and said, "It's still fair."
However, the body of the coffin has begun to decompose, which adds a lot of difficulty to solving the case.
After Chen Ye carefully looked at the corpse, he unearthed some useful information from the corpse. Chen Ye instructed the officials to carry the corpse out with a cloth.
The color of this squire's corpse is very abnormal, it is brown, and a normal corpse of a person who has been dead for so many days will not be like this. Except for the wrong color of the body, no knife wounds or stick wounds were found.
I touched the body and found that the body was swollen, not the usual fat.
Chen Ye roughly made a judgment that this squire died of poisoning. Many people immediately think that the person who poisoned them is the bride, on the grounds that the bride is unwilling to marry the squire.
Since it is poisoning, it is necessary to use a silver needle or silver hairpin to test for poison, use a silver needle or silver hairpin in the key parts, insert it for a period of time, and observe the top of the silver needle after it cannot be pulled out to see if there is a problem.
The deceased has been dead for too long, and there will be some rotten things in the body, wash it a little with soapy water. It was found that the squire was covered in black, and it was determined that he had died of poisoning.
The problem? How to judge what kind of poison this is?
Chen Ye remembered a book he had seen before, and ordered someone to come over and fetch the rice balls, and asked people to take out the eggs, take out the egg whites, stir the eggs with the rice balls, and put them in the squire's mouth.
The rest of the body is to close the nose, ears, and anus, and press the squire's body to exhaust it. The rice dumplings have some smell sticky, and the color of the rice dumplings has also changed somewhat.
At this time, it was found that the squire was injured with an obvious wound, which looked like it had been bitten by some animal.
Chen Ye found that there was a snake keeper next door at this time, and knew whether this squire was accidentally bitten by a poisonous snake or intentionally killed?
"This squire was bitten to death by a poisonous snake and died of poison all over his body," Chen Ye made such a judgment.
"How can you tell if it's snake venom?" Marchand didn't quite understand.
"Can't say it yet?" After Chen Ye said this, he returned to the squire's house.
Snakes are cold-blooded animals, and their eyesight is very poor, especially at night, if the squire is bitten to death by a snake, it must be that the squire's hand has touched the mouth of the poisonous snake's hole, otherwise how can there be a poisonous snake's bite mark on his hand.
On the wedding night, how could the squire run to the snake nest next door and kill himself, so this squire must have been killed by him.
After Chen Ye told Wang Shang his judgment, Wang Shang was ready to arrest the suspect at any time. Chen Ye directly called the bride and the snake keeper next door.
"The eldest lord is in charge of me, I am not the one who killed the father-in-law," the bride cried.
"My lord, the snake farmer next to me has run away," said a servant who ran over to him
"I'll take someone to chase it," Marchand hurriedly led someone to chase after him.
The next day, at dawn, the snake farmer Fa Liuzi was caught, but unfortunately Fa Liuzi was a rat guts, and he summoned all the things in the lobby.
Fa Liuzi was originally an old bachelor, but when he saw that the squire next to him was in his forties and married a daughter-in-law who was as beautiful as a flower, he was unwilling. On the day of the wedding, the sixth son of the law secretly peeked at the door of the wedding room, and the bride was smart, looking like a fairy, and she had a bad heart for a while.
At the wedding feast, it is customary for the bridegroom to toast from every seat. The snake farmer put the snake bag under the groom's table, and the groom felt that he had been stabbed by something when he was drinking, and he continued to drink, but on the wedding night, when he came to the cave room, he found that he had difficulty breathing, and finally died of poison.
After the case was concluded, Chen Ye analyzed some of his experiences with the people in the Criminal Department, including how to test drugs and how to prevent being poisoned.
This case caused a sensation in the entire capital, and they were all shocked by Chen Ye's amazing methods, but they didn't expect so much useful information to be derived from a corpse, and everyone couldn't imagine that things could still be like this.
"Your Majesty, Chen Ye arrived at the Criminal Department and solved two strange cases in a row, and the people outside were full of praise." Zhou Gonggong introduced the key and difficult points of these two cases on the side.
"I thought he was a nerd, bolder, but I didn't expect to have such insight, whether the effect of silver needle poison detection is effective" The emperor still pays more attention to his diet and daily life.
"The slave has been tested, and there is a ninety percent chance that it can be detected" After the emperor listened to what Gonggong Zhou said, Long Yan was happy.
"Then do you want to reward Chen Ye?" Gonggong Zhou wanted to say something good to Chen Ye.
"No, my pillar talent still needs to be honed" After the emperor finished speaking, he was in a good mood and took the prime minister and other important ministers to the back garden to play chess.
Father-in-law Zhou introduced some of Chen Ye's situation to them again, but he didn't talk about the magic, they all let out a sound of surprise, this time Chen Ye solved two cases in two days after working at work.
"If there are more people like Chen Ye, there will be fewer unjust and wrongful cases in the world," Prime Minister Lu Jianren said with emotion.
"The minister implores the emperor to copy this case and send it to the criminal departments in various places to study it well," the criminal department Shangshu begged.
"Yes, but Chen Ye is not allowed to be promoted" The emperor specially instructed the criminal department to write a book. The emperor didn't want Chen Ye to do anything in his heart, but wanted to sharpen and sharpen more, so that he could be a master in the future and gain a firm foothold in the court.
