Chapter 249: Post-mortem

Lao Qizuo wrote this kind of autopsy report that made Yang Huairen cry and laugh, and he couldn't be blamed completely, because of the lack of education and forensic science knowledge, he could only write how the deceased died, but there was no other detailed information.

After all, Genshin is a Langzhong, and perhaps with his expertise, there will be new discoveries.

Zhang Gong'an's body was carried out and placed on a stone bed, and now the body has not been disposed of, just because the weather is cold, the temperature in the mortuary is below freezing, and the body still retains the appearance when it was just delivered, and the bloodstained clothes are still worn on the body.

Xuan Shen's specialty is to treat external injuries, and of course, he also knows a lot about sharp weapon injuries, so letting him perform an autopsy is in line with his specialty.

Zhang Gong'an is about 1.85 meters tall and has a strong body, which is basically consistent with Yang Huairen's previous guesses.

Xuanshen changed into cotton gloves and examined the deceased's facial features, starting from the head.

"The deceased's face was purple, his eyes were red, his eyeballs were swollen, and blood was flowing from his mouth and nose, and he was in great pain when he died."

Xuan Shen muttered about his discovery while inspecting, and Master Mustache didn't need to be instructed this time, and consciously made a record on the side.

Yang Huairen asked, "Did the deceased have any traces of struggle before he died?" ”

Xuan Shen pointed to the two hands of the deceased and showed them to Yang Huairen, and said: "My lord, you see, the deceased's palms are naturally open, and there are no foreign objects in the fingernails, so there is no struggle, and there is no physical conflict with the murderer."

However, it can't be so sure, as long as it is not a violent struggle, nothing can be detected after death, Xiaodi judged that the deceased was too sudden when he was stabbed, and he had lost the ability to resist without having time to react.

So maybe when he wanted to struggle or ask for help, he had been subdued by the murderer with a knife, and then he was stabbed several times in a row, completely lost the ability to resist, and then fell behind him, and then died quickly in a short period of time due to blood loss. ”

Yang Huairen nodded, Xuanshen's statement also confirmed the judgment he made at the scene of the murder.

"The deceased was also a strong man before his death, so this murderer must be a person who knows martial arts?"

"Your Excellency is right," Xuan Shen continued to examine the corpse downward, "There are many old wounds on the murderer's body, but they are just flesh wounds, which should be caused by the frequent fights and brawls in the past. ”

Yang Huairen also inquired about the catchers along the way, this Zhang Gong'an is a butcher, there is a pork stall in the west market of Qizhou City, he kills pigs for a living, and he is usually a brave and ruthless character, so it is normal for him to have some old injuries caused by fists and feet.

Xuanshen tore the deceased's clothes, wiped the wounded parts of the deceased's chest and abdomen with a damp cloth, and began to examine the fatal knife wounds.

"One, two, three...... Sixteen, seventeen, eighteen! ”

Yang Huairen and Xuan Shen counted the knife wounds on the chest and abdomen of the corpse together, and the more they counted the voices, the more surprised they became, Zhang Gong'an had eighteen knife wounds on his body!

"This must be a vendetta, it seems that the murderer's grudge against the deceased is not ordinarily deep!"

Everyone present was also in a state of consternation, everyone understood that if a person was stabbed in the chest with a sharp weapon, let alone eighteen knives, a normal stab in the vital part would kill him, even if Zhang Gong'an was a strong martial artist before his death, three or four knives were enough to kill him.

The murderer's first knife quickly stabbed Zhang Gong'an's body, which had already made him lose the ability to resist, and the next seventeen knives were completely venting the hatred in his heart!

Criminological point of view, this is an obvious manifestation of excessive killing, if it is for other purposes to kill, or to ask a professional killer to kill, the murderer only needs to determine the target of the kill, in the process of crime, this is also more efficient.

But the performance of vendetta is different, the murderer's purpose is not only to kill the enemy, but also to risk being discovered, to carry out excessive torture and killing of the target, and enjoy the process of watching the target slowly die in pain during the crime.

Yang Huairen remembered the circle of blood around the deceased again, imagined the hideous and pleasureous appearance on the murderer's face at that time, and circled around the deceased's body to admire, and couldn't help but feel creepy.

By now, whether it was evidence at the scene or evidence obtained from the autopsy, it can be inferred that this was a vendetta case, and that there was a huge vendetta between the murderer and the deceased, which led to this excessive killing.

"And what about the time of death? Can you make a judgment? ”

The exact and specific time of death is very important for solving the case, knowing the time of death, you can purposefully search for possible witnesses according to the time of the crime, and when you rule out the suspect, you can also determine the degree of suspicion according to the time.

Now that the weather is cold, Zhang Gong'an's body is already cold, and it is impossible to judge it according to the body temperature that remains of the corpse, Xuanshen pondered for a while, turned the body up, and looked at the back of the deceased.

Yang Huairen watched his action and realized that he was inspecting the corpse's corpse spots and corpse stiffness.

China was the first in the world to understand and judge the time of death based on corpse mortis, and Song Ci, a criminal prison officer in the Southern Song Dynasty, collected and compiled a large amount of this knowledge and wrote it into his forensic and criminal forensic work "Records of Clearing Grievances".

As early as the Northern Song Dynasty, there was already a recognition of this aspect, after death, blood circulation stopped, within three to five hours, because actinase stopped decomposing, resulting in muscle and ligament tightness, joints can not be twisted, showing the phenomenon of corpse stiffness.

This process is asymptotic, and the degree of mortis reaches its peak within about 12 to 18 hours after death, and after about 24 hours, the corpse will be autolyzed by the pH of the body fluids, and the acidic body fluids will cause the cells to autolyze, so that the corpse will soften from a new meeting, and after 48 hours, it will soften back to its normal state.

The corpse spots are caused by the blood being affected by gravity and deposited under the body, resulting in the appearance of the surface of the corpse purplish-red, and this change is also asymptotic in time.

Therefore, the time of the deceased's death can be roughly judged from the degree of mortisation at the time of the autopsy.

Xuan Shen carefully observed for a while and said, "Judging from the degree of corpse stiffness and corpse spots, now is the most stiff time, and it can be inferred from this that the deceased has probably been dead for seven or eight hours. ”

Yang Huairen pinched his fingers and calculated, it was only three o'clock in the afternoon, that is, two or three o'clock in the afternoon, if it was pushed forward by fourteen or fifteen hours, that is, it was about ten to twelve o'clock last night.

Judging from the time of death, the possibility of Ke Xiaochuan's murder is ruled out.

Xuanshen put down the corpse, stared at the eighteen knife wounds in a daze, and said suspiciously: "It's not right here......"
