Wang Shi looked confused, and didn't know how to answer for a moment, and looked sideways at the man who was carrying the stick before.

But at this moment, Zhou Heng smiled.

"Oh, interesting, don't you know what the attitude of the deceased was when he died? Do you also want to consult your brother on such a question? ”

The magistrate and everyone in the hall looked at the Wang family.

As Zhou Heng said, since the deceased was found, what was the state at that time when he didn't just open his mouth, why did he still look at others?

Wang hurriedly kowtowed, "Lord County, the women are a little nervous, and they remember it at this moment." Yesterday, when I heard the dog barking outside the window, the woman got up and wanted to take a look, and found that the husband was motionless and breathless, so she lay straight on the couch, and for a while the woman panicked, and ran to the courtyard of her brother and sister-in-law to smash the door, and the brother came to see it, so she helped the woman find someone to place her husband in front of the hall, and after dawn, she carried her husband to the city to theorize. ”

Zhou Heng nodded, "I understand, what do you mean that He Dazhuang was lying on the couch when he died, and then he also moved on the door panel, and did not make other flipping movements, yes or no?" ”

Wang nodded, peeked behind him, those few people all nodded, and Zhou Heng smiled and bowed towards the magistrate.

"My lord, the student has finished asking."

After speaking, Zhou Heng walked towards the table on the right, and at a very fast speed, he wrote the content of the autopsy just now on paper, and after drying it, he pinched it in the palm of his hand.

Zhou Yi'an's hand moved slowly, only wrote a few short sentences, and handed it to He Zhutou and presented it to the magistrate.

The magistrate opened Zhou Yi'an's autopsy results, looked at them carefully, and saw that they read:

The deceased had been soaked in water for a long time, died for more than two days, was prone and curled up on his knees at the time of death, was seriously ill with chest and abdominal effusion, and had injuries on his feet.

Zhixian's eyes widened, he did not participate in the previous statement, and he never knew the details, but this autopsy was very different from what Wang said.

He looked up at the people standing in the hall, the Wang family stood with his head down, but one hand was tugging at his dress, such a state was really calm enough.

However, if this case is wrongly judged by himself today, it will damage his reputation, and the magistrate cleared his throat with some fire in his eyes, and said:

"Ahem, Gongzi Zhou, now tell me about the results in your hands!"

Zhou Heng bowed his hand and said yes, walked up to the deceased, and said:

"The deceased He Dazhuang, male, about 30 years old, with slender limbs and abdomen, ascites, and a lump in the liver that can be palpated, the hepatema is very serious, according to his state at the moment, he can't eat, can't sleep, abdominal pain and vomiting, which is the most serious period of death, unless the lump is removed, ordinary medicine stones are useless. The corneas of both eyes are completely cloudy and gray, and the deceased died in this condition for more than two days. ”

With the explanation, Zhou Heng stretched the deceased's eyelids open for everyone to see, and then continued.

"The mortis of the large joints of the deceased still exists, while the stiffness of the small joints of the fingers, wrists and jaw has dissipated, which also proves that the deceased died more than two days ago."

Zhou Heng touched the elbow and shoulder of the deceased, and the difference in joint movement was clear at a glance, turned to look at Wang and continued.

"The body spots on the deceased's body have formed, concentrated in the chest, abdomen, thighs and knees, and there are no body spots on the back, indicating that the deceased was in a kneeling position and prone after death, not lying flat. After death, it will start an hour or two, on the side facing the ground, red or purple patches appear on the surface of the skin, so it is called corpse spots, which can determine whether the deceased moved after death, and what the posture of death was. ”

Zhou Yi'an was very cooperative, and had already walked up to Zhou Heng, lifted the clothes covering the corpse's abdomen, and the purple-red corpse spots appeared in front of everyone.

Raise your hand and press it hard, and the skin turns white when you release it, but for a moment the purple red is the same as before, and it has not changed.

"Moreover, this corpse spot is a kind of evidence that is the best to judge the time of death, it reaches its peak after six to eight hours, but at this time, move the body, change the position, the corpse spot will move with it, and after two days, these corpse spots will be completely fixed, you see, the deceased's corpse spots are pressed and do not fade, nor do they change shape, so the deceased He Dazhuang died two days ago."

As soon as these words came out, Wang had already looked at Zhou Heng in horror, and Huang Zongming was also a little confused, what does this mean, he has been dead for two days?

Wang kept shaking his head.

"No......"

Zhou Heng sneered and bowed slightly towards the Wang family.

"Don't worry, Mrs. Lao, I haven't finished yet!"

Immediately, Zhou Heng looked at the magistrate and He Zhutou who were sitting in the hall, walked to the feet of the deceased, and continued.

"The deceased's clothes have been soaked in water for a long time, but the surface is dry and the inside is still wet. Look here, the foot has been peeled into a foot sleeve, there is a cut on the left ankle that can penetrate into the bone, here is a postmortem injury, no bleeding, there is mud in the wound, there is mud in the pants and the soles of the deceased's feet, this mud is delicate and fishy, and there are green aquatic plants mixed in it, which should be the silt deposited at the bottom of the river pond. ”

As he spoke, Zhou Heng held up a small bamboo stick, the top of the bamboo stick was an extremely tiny bit of green, He Zhutou took a closer look, and sniffed it carefully, and it really smelled.

Boss Xue, who was behind Huang Zongming, tried hard to grab his arm, controlling his urge to rush up and smell it.

"The most important point is that the deceased had air bubbles characteristic of drowning in the mouth and nose, which gushed out with a little press. Based on the above judgment, it was concluded that the deceased should have drowned, and he had drowned two days earlier. Back to my lord, the students have finished talking about the cause of He Dazhuang's death, and the adults can compare it! ”

Zhixian had already gotten up at this time and walked out from under the plaque hanging high in the mirror.

Coming directly to the deceased, the bamboo stick was in He Zhutou's hand, and the magistrate took it and looked at it carefully, and then looked at the corpse spots on the deceased's abdomen, as well as the mud.

These things are in front of him, if it weren't for Zhou Heng's careful explanation, he really didn't expect that there would be so much knowledge here, even Zhou Yi'an handed over a note, but it was too general, and he didn't have such a clear feeling at all.

The magistrate threw Zhou Yi'an's strips to He Zhutou.

"You come and read!"

He Zhutou read the content of the note aloud, and listened to Zhou Heng's explanation just now, there is no need to say more about this content.

Wang Shi was already trembling at this time, and the people recruited by the people's medical hall and the county came to the same conclusion, even the time of death was fake, what else to say at this time.

He fell to his knees and crawled forward two steps.

"Lord Zhixian is gracious, my orphans and widows really have no livelihood, otherwise they would never be so deceiving."

Saying that, bang

"Do you know what it is to falsely accuse someone? Someone ...... coming."

Zhou Heng was stunned, what does this mean to close the case and announce the verdict?

He hurriedly stepped forward, the arrow that the magistrate grabbed had already been raised, and Zhou Heng bowed down and said:

"My lord, the student's words are not finished yet."

The magistrate was stunned, "Come quickly!" ”

"Yes, just now the student just said that the deceased suspected that it was drowned, but this drowning is also divided into three categories: suicide, falling into the water, and being harmed. The deceased was seriously ill and in critical condition, and the pain of the ascites was quite unbearable, but he was able to go to the hospital for treatment, at least it showed that he did not want to find a short-term vision. When the autopsy of the deceased was just done, the students found that there were three fingerprints on the back of the deceased's neck. ”

Zhou Yi'an was shocked, didn't he find it just now?

Quickly turned the deceased over and pulled up the broken hair, and sure enough, there were three finger marks on the back of the deceased's neck, which were faint purple, and they could not be found if they were not carefully distinguished.

Zhou Heng stretched out his left hand and gestured here.

These three fingerprints are exactly the action of a left hand choking the back of the deceased's neck. Looking at these three fingerprints, my hand could not touch them at the same time, this man's palm is huge, and his index finger and middle finger are the same length. One didn't want to commit suicide, and was pinched by the neck and pressed down, which was only explained by drowning. ”

Speaking of this, Zhou Heng looked around at everyone on the left.

"Looking around at the people present, I think there is only one person who meets the characteristics of this left-handed hand, when he was in front of the medical hall, he used to carry a stick in his left hand to intimidate everyone, and the students have seen his hand, because of the strange shape, and deliberately glanced at it twice!"

Huang Zongming and Dr. Ma all looked at the man carrying the stick.

The man was obviously shocked by Zhou Heng's words, and before he could react to what a left-handed hand was, his left hand clenched his fist for a while, and the knife that was about to move He to catch the head was already on his neck.

"Don't move, raise your left palm!"
