Chapter 39 Steamed Bones for Poison Testing

"Master Cheng, do you know what kind of poison Mrs. Li is?"

Yan Zixi turned her head and asked, her words very sharp.

"Could it be that Miss Zixi already knows?"

Yan Zixi smiled slightly, it seemed that she had already made a bamboo in her chest, "It's three nutrients and two arsenic!" ”

"What? What the hell is trioxygen? Cheng Sanshui rubbed his ears, thinking that he had heard it wrong.

But when they glanced at everyone present, they all looked puzzled.

Xiao Jingcong was well-informed, but she had never heard of this poison, so she couldn't help frowning, and she was faintly worried about Yan Zixi.

Yan Zixi cleared her throat and then explained.

"Oh, that's its chemical name, you don't understand, to use what you usually call it here, it's called Heding Red, or more colloquially...... Batch of frost! ”

"Oh, that's what it is!"

"Hey, I thought it was!"

When they heard this, they all laughed.

Cheng Sanshui was stunned for a moment, and then said again: "Miss Zixi, don't talk nonsense again!" As I said earlier, Liu Chengzuo had already examined Mrs. Li's body that day, and there was no sign of poisoning at all, and he never found the cream you mentioned! ”

Yan Zixi still had a smile on her face, and then looked at Cheng Sanshui and asked, "Master Cheng, I don't know if you have heard of the reaction between drugs, poison naturally has an antidote." ”

While speaking, Yan Zixi walked to the corner of the courtyard to the flower pot, left a branch, and then squatted on the ground to write rows of math and symbols that no one could understand.

"This is called the chemical equation, and your so-called batch cream is called tritrophic diarsenic in our medicine, which is arsenic poisoning. Dimercaprol can react with Lewis gas to form stable, insoluble and non-toxic arsenic compounds, so it can neutralize the toxins of the batch of creams, creating the illusion that there is no poisoning......"

Yan ...... Yan Zixi...... You...... What is the principle of what you are talking about, and why have I never heard of this official? Cheng Sanshui asked with a look of disbelief.

Yan Zixi shrugged, "It's normal that you haven't heard of it, even if our Supreme Elder of Miaochun Hall, Mr. Yan, comes, he may not know this, if you want to understand, you have to wait at least a thousand years or two!" ”

Yan Zixi threw away the branch in his hand and clapped his hands, "Dimercaptopropanol is a chemical refining, although I don't know why there is one in your era, maybe it is contained in some substance, in short, I don't care about his origin, I just want to explain that Mrs. Li did die of poisoning, and after the poison died, the murderer gave her an antidote, falsifying the truth of her death." ”

"Nonsense, nonsense! Yan Zixi, these are just your speculations, and they can't be used as evidence at all! Cheng Sanshui said angrily.

"Okay, Master Cheng, if you don't believe it, I can prove it to you."

Yan Zixi walked in front of Song Yuanlin as she spoke, pointed at Song Yuanlin and asked.

"Song Yuanlin, you are also a doctor studying medicine, you should know how long it takes for a corpse to decompose to the extent of revealing bones after it is buried in the ground, right?"

Song Yuanlin lowered his head and replied hesitantly: "The long is half a year, and the short is a few months......"

"Master Cheng, you see, this Mrs. Li has only been dead for a week, and it is only five days to be buried in the ground, and the corpse has already decomposed to reveal the bones inside, which means that the corpse was abnormal before, because those poisons and the products after neutralization accelerated the decay of the corpse, so it has become like this in less than five days!"

"This ...... This is also speculation, Yan Zixi, the situation you said may indeed accelerate the decay of the corpse, but after all, it is just your guess! Song Yuanlin was unconvinced.

"Very good, is Dr. Song a doctor, or is it different from some people, a little knowledgeable, then good, this girl will open your eyes again!"

After speaking, Yan Zixi walked in front of Cheng Sanshui and asked, "Master Cheng, the little woman still has a way to directly verify that Mrs. Li was poisoned to death before she died!" ”

"What else do you do? No...... No way! The corpses have already decomposed like that, and even Liu Chengzuo is helpless, how can you have any other way? Cheng Sanshui shook his head again and again, completely disbelieving that Yan Zixi had any other way to find out the cause of death.

Liu Yanzuo, who had not spoken, also said with a displeased face: "Doctor Yan Zixi, please don't doubt my ability, this corpse is so rotten that there is no way to check it again, if you can find out the other causes of Mrs. Li's death today, I, Liu, will kneel down and kowtow to you in public to admit my mistakes, so as to make up for my negligence!" ”

At the same time, the surrounding onlookers also shook their heads.

"This can't be, the corpses have already become like this, how can they be examined?"

"That's it, Liu Yanzuo has been doing it for more than 30 years, and even he is helpless, how can Dr. Yan Zixi still have a way?"

"Liu Yanzuo, you can remember your words!"

Yan Zixi smiled faintly, and then said to Cheng Sanshui: "Lord Cheng, the little girl has studied medicine since she was a child, and the first book she read was "The Collection of Grievances", I wonder if you have heard of it?" ”

"What kind of book is this? How could this official read such miscellaneous books? ”

Yan Zixi turned her head again and asked Song Yuanlin, "Doctor Song, what about you?" ”

"Yan Zixi, what tricks do you want to play? I, Song Yuanlin, have also studied medicine for more than 20 years, but I have never heard of any "Collection of Grievances", and the doctors of Miaochuntang have never mentioned it, what kind of book is it, a medical book? ”

"Forget it, but when I was a child, I read it as a suspense book......"

Yan Zixi recalled the situation when she was forced to read by her father before, and smiled bitterly.

"Yan Zixi, don't delay everyone's time, what do you want to say?" Cheng Sanshui urged impatiently.

Yan Zixi arched his hand and replied: "My lord Mingjian, the "Collection of Grievances" once recorded the method of steaming bones for autopsy, and it said above that the bone examination must be clear. First, wash the bones with water, pierce the shape with hemp to set the bones, and hold them with a stick. but hoeed a hole in the cellar. It is five feet long, three feet wide, and two feet deep. It is mostly burned with charcoal, and the ground red is the degree. Remove the fire, but pour two liters of good wine and five liters of vinegar into the cellar. Take the heat to carry the bones into the acupuncture...... Steam the bones for a moment or two. Waiting for the ground to be cold, but going to Kan and carrying out the bones. To the plain place, cover the bones of the corpse with a red oil umbrella and examine it.

If there is a beaten place on the bone, there is a red road, micro; The bone is broken, and there is a blood halo at each of its two ends; Looking at the scarred bones again, the red life is clearly marked before his death. If there is no blood on the bones, but they are broken, they are the marks of death. ”

Song Yuanlin frowned slightly when he heard Yan Zixi's words, he understands medical theory, according to what Yan Zixi said, it is true that the autopsy can be performed by steaming bones.

Cheng Sanshui was really confused, he didn't understand what Yan Zixi wanted to say at all, and was about to ask, but Yan Zixi took the initiative to speak.

"Master Cheng, the little woman wants to follow the example of the ancients today and have a steamed bone poison test!"

When the people heard this, they immediately talked about it.

But Xiao Jingcong stared at Yan Zixi with a smile on her face.

"What? Steamed bones for poison testing?! Cheng Sanshui immediately shouted when he heard this, "Yan Zixi, what is a steamed bone poison test?" ”

"My lord, I'll explain to you, you don't understand, as long as you get right, that's fine."

Cheng Sanshui didn't rush to answer, but glanced at Xiao Jingcong, and said with a smile: "What does Xiao Gongzi think?" ”

Xiao Jingcong smiled coldly, "Naturally, it's all up to Master Cheng, but since this is the case today, if you don't check it clearly, I don't think anyone present will be satisfied, right?" ”

"This ......" Cheng Sanshui hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded.

Yan Zixi finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Cheng Sanshui agree, and then she walked in front of Li Erde, bowed to him, and apologized.

"Li Erde, I also have no choice, I want to help find out your mother's death, and forgive me for moving his old man's bones......"

"Doctor Yan, this is the case, please give me an explanation!" Li Erde said with tears on his face.

"Don't worry, I won't let the real murderer go unpunished!"

Yan Zixi glanced at the Li family next to him angrily, and the Li family was so frightened that he dodged again and again, completely losing the ruthlessness he had before.

Yan Zixi immediately walked in front of the officials and instructed the officials: "You first prepare a large vat of water, and then go buy a red oil paper umbrella and two liters of spirits and a jar of vinegar, and then dig a cellar five feet long, three feet wide, and two feet deep here, prepare charcoal and a basket for dry bones, I will use it later." ”

Although the officials didn't know what Yan Zixi wanted these for, but because of Cheng Sanshui's consent, they could only do so.

Soon, two officials brought in a large vat of water from outside, Yan Zixi pointed to the location, and said to the two officials: "Put it next to the corpse." ”

After the water tank was placed, Yan Zixi took out the water jacket made of sheep bubbles that she carried with her, asked the official for scissors, walked to the corpse of Mrs. Li, and cut off the clothes, because they had rotted, many of them were wrapped around the flesh and bones, which was very difficult to handle.

Xiao Jingcong hurriedly walked over to help Yan Zixi deal with it.

"Thank you, Jingcong!"

"No, I also want to see what our Dr. Yan wants to do next?"

"Hehe, then you have to watch it later." Yan Zixi smiled mysteriously and said to Xiao Jingcong.

Xiao Jingcong also smiled slightly, "Then I'll have to wait and see!" ”

On the other side, several officials were also digging the hole that Yan Zixi needed.

After disposing of the clothes, Yan Zixi scooped out a few scoops of water from the water tank and rushed to Mrs. Li's corpse. Countless rotting pieces of meat and maggots were washed away in an instant.

Frightened, Cheng Sanshui took several steps back and retreated to the corridor.

Many of the onlookers vomited on the spot when they saw such a disgusting scene.

Yan Zixi endured the discomfort in her stomach, and finally finished all this, Yan Zixi asked the official who was digging next to her.

"How's it going, how's the burrow dug in the ground?"

"Miss Yan, the hole has already been dug up."
