Chapter 52: The Monk's Reason for Killing
"Don't worry, listen to me slowly, the life reaction is a morphological change when a person is hanged alive while he is still alive, that is, a change that is different from the hanging corpse after death." Meng Tianchu pointed to the strangulation marks on Xusong's neck, "In this case, if it is hanged alive, the gutter on the deceased's neck will have epidermal peeling and bleeding points, which is a life reaction in the case of hanging alive, but you see, there is no epidermal peeling and bleeding point at the strangulation mark on Xusong's neck." ”
They went up and looked, but there was none.
Meng Tianchu continued: "I performed an autopsy on the neck of the corpse just now, and the signs that appeared inside the neck of the corpse also confirmed my inference. ”
Because the autopsy was too professional, they couldn't understand it, so Meng Tianchu didn't elaborate.
Zhang Zhenyu said: "Meng Gongzi, even if what you just said is right, Xusong was killed and hanged on his body, then how did he die?" ”
"Cover it!" Meng Tianchu gestured with his hands, "The murderer used soft objects such as pillows, towels, and quilts to suppress his body and cover his mouth and nose while he was asleep, and then used his belt to put it on the beam, carried the body and hung it, put the stool down, and pretended to commit suicide." ”
He Wang, who was on the side, sighed twice and praised: "Meng Gongzi is really powerful, you can see at a glance what means the murderer used." ”
Qin Yiyun turned his head and glared at him: "You shut up, if you don't speak, no one will treat you as a mute!" ”
He Wang smiled: "Anyway, I was tied to a pillar last night, and I can't kill anyone, so Xusong's death has nothing to do with me!" Then I'll just shut up and watch the fun. ”
The abbot Xuanyin said the Buddha's name: "Master Meng, why did you see that Xusong was covered to death?" ”
"Xusong told me!" Meng Tianchu said seriously.
Zhang Zhenyu frowned and said unhappily: "Master Meng, it seems that now is not the time to joke." ”
"I'm not kidding!" Meng Tianchu pointed to Xusong's corpse, "To be precise, it was the symptoms on Xusong's corpse that let me know how he died. ”
Zhang Zhenyu and the others listened to Meng Tianchu's words, and they all lowered their heads to look at Xusong's face, and asked, "What are the symptoms?" ”
Meng Tianchu was about to answer, and then thought that it was hard to say, because strangulation is to cut off the gas exchange of people, resulting in suffocation and death due to lack of oxygen in tissues and organs throughout the body, it is a simple hypoxic suffocation death, due to the lack of oxygen in the deceased's body, the oxyhemoglobin in the blood decreases and the reduced hemoglobin increases and is dark purple-red, through the facial epidermis, it is blue-purple. This is different from hanging and strangulation, so the symptoms of the corpse are also different. Since it involves current professional forensic terms such as oxygen, tissue hypoxia, and hemoglobin, they must not understand it, and as long as it is explained like this, they will think that they are monsters.
Meng Tianchu pointed to the face of the corpse: "The bruise on this face is a sign that I have discovered the true cause of death of the deceased, the murderer is very cunning, he covered the face of the deceased with a soft quilt or something, so that the deceased will not leave any traces on his face, but people are not as good as heaven, the color of the deceased's face has told us that the deceased died of hypoxic suffocation...... Ahem...... The dead were covered and not hanged......"
After talking cautiously for a long time, in the end there was still a sentence of "hypoxia suffocation", in order to prevent these people from discovering and questioning, Meng Tianchu continued to say: "Just the bruising of the face does not explain the problem, there are other signs, if it is covered to death, because of the pressure on the mouth and nose, it will leave corresponding traces on the mouth and nose." Meng Tianchu opened the deceased's lips, "You see, there are broken and bleeding in the deceased's lips and at the root of his teeth, which is caused by external pressure. ”
Everyone lowered their heads and looked at it, and sure enough, it was. At this point, the truth of the death of the little monk Xusong was finally revealed. The abbot of Xuanyin shouted the Buddha's name: "Amitabha! What benefactor is so vicious as to do this to my disciples! ”
Qin Yiyun said coldly: "Old monk, don't shout to catch a thief yourself!" ”
Abbot Xuanyin was taken aback: "Why did Master Yuan say this?" ”
"Hehe, we all went back to sleep in our rooms last night, only you and the little bald donkey of Xusong are in the Daxiong Treasure Palace, isn't it easy for you to kill him?"
Xuanyin said: "Good, good! Although the poor monk is a little angry and the bad man is not angry, but he will not kill people for this, killing is the first precept of Buddhism, and the poor monk has been a monk for decades, and has always strictly abided by the rules and precepts. ”
Qin Yiyun said: "You have always refused to tell how the pregnant woman behind the temple died, I suspect that the pregnant woman was killed by you in the pine forest behind the temple, pretending to hang herself!" My lady heard the conversation between you and the little monk without any opinion, or accidentally broke this secret of yours, you and the little monk teamed up to kill my lady, and then you killed the little monk to kill him! You are the real culprit of these two murders! ”
Xuanyin was tepid and angry, and said: "Lord Qin Shi has made a conclusion, the two of them really didn't kill me." ”
"Then tell me clearly, what's going on with the pregnant woman behind the temple?"
Xuanyin lowered his head and muttered silently.
Zhang Zhenyu shook his head and said: "Shopkeeper Qin, the abbot of Xuanyin is a monk, sweeping the floor is afraid of hurting the lives of ants, and cherishing the moth gauze lamp, how can he kill Mrs. Zun and his apprentices." I'm afraid that the murderer has someone else. ”
Shopkeeper Qin said coldly: "Someone else? He Wang and Lao He Tou have been together for no time to commit crimes, and you said that the old monk has no motive to kill, I have been sleeping with me Ji Wen in the room, and Meng Gongzi's family is the same, only you are alone, if it wasn't killed by the old monk, could you not kill it? ”
Zhang Zhenyu raised his eyebrows and said coldly: "Shopkeeper Qin, why did Zhang want to kill the little monk Xusong?" ”
"You...... Who knows why you killed him! You naturally have your reason for killing him! ”
"Hehe, Shopkeeper Qin can't say the reason why Zhang killed someone, but Zhang knows why Shopkeeper Qin wants to kill Xusong."
