Chapter 54: Stomach Contents

Qin Yiyun hurriedly said: "Meng Gongzi, I'm ...... I have a maid Jiwen to testify that I haven't left the room for half a step, how can I kill Xusong? ”

Meng Tianchu said with a smile: "Don't worry, Shopkeeper Qin, even if you don't have time to witness, your personal grudge with Xusong will not reach the point of killing him to vent your anger, not to mention that you have to get out of Mrs. Qin's cage now, and marry the delicate and lovely Ji Wen, it is the time when the spring breeze is proud, how can you kill someone for such a trivial matter and ruin your good future?" Shopkeeper Qin is not like a person who kills people like hemp and treats other people's lives like mustard. ”

"Yes, yes! Why should I kill this little bald donkey! I'm still waiting to have a good life with my Ji Wen! Qin Yiyun hugged Ji Wen and said with a smug smile.

Meng Tianchu continued: "Abbot Xuanyin can't talk about the word hatred against Xusong. Besides, even if the old monk really wants to kill the little monk, won't he pretend to leave Xusong first, and then kill him after we leave? ”

Zhang Zhenyu said coldly: "In this way, Meng Gongzi is suspected of killing the little monk Xusong?" ”

Meng Tianchu shook his head: "I mean, judging from the analysis just now, there is no evidence to prove that Xusong died in vendetta. And it doesn't point to any of you. ”

Zhang Zhenyu's face softened slightly.

Feiyan said again: "If it's not a vendetta, then could it be that this Xusong knows some secrets that shouldn't be known, and the murderer kills people and kills people?" ”

Meng Tianchu said with a smile: "Feiyan said it very well, and I also started to detect it from this point. ”

Feiyan was a little proud, thought about it, and said, "What secrets does the little monk know, and he will be killed and killed?" ”

Meng Tianchu said: "This is the key to this case!" The secret of the little monk will definitely not be the secret of the temple, what secret does he know? After Mrs. Qin was killed, the little monk Xusong was killed immediately after, which made people have to link the two. Perhaps, the little monk just knew the truth about Mrs. Qin's killing, or the murderer thought that the little monk knew the truth about Mrs. Qin's killing, and killed the little monk. If this is the case, then the murderer who killed the little monk Xusong is the same murderer who killed Mrs. Qin! If one is cracked, the other is cracked! ”

When everyone heard Meng Tianchu's words, they all felt very excited.

"So, I started to rethink the two cases and consider them together." Meng Tianchu walked up to He Wang and continued: "The look on your necklace when you saw the necklace in your package last night did not meet the proper performance of seeking money and killing people, so although I arrested you last night, I began to suspect that there was a problem with my previous reasoning. So, I thought carefully about my reasoning process, and finally let me find the clue! ”

Qin Yiyun hurriedly asked, "What's the clue?" "After all, he still cares about who kills his wife.

"Time!" Meng Tianchu clasped his hands on his shoulders and said in a deep voice, "There is a problem with the time period used to eliminate the suspect. To be precise, the starting point for delineating the time of the crime is wrong. This point in time is determined based on the fact that when I escorted my maid to the toilet, I heard Ji Wen talking to Mrs. Qin, so as to judge that Mrs. Qin was still alive at that time, and according to the shopkeeper Qin, before he went to the toilet with a stomachache, Mrs. Qin was still sleeping, and it was calculated from this time. However, after I recalled it carefully, I only heard Mrs. Qin's hum at that time, but I didn't hear Mrs. Qin speak, let alone see her figure, and there were indeed only two people on the window at that time! ”

Qin Yiyun's face changed: "Are you saying that Ji Wen and I lied to you?" Hehe, Meng Gongzi's imagination is too rich. ”

Meng Tianchu didn't care, smiled and said, "Shopkeeper Qin, don't be impatient, continue to listen to me." Since I have this suspicion, of course I have to find evidence to verify, this evidence is the real time of Mrs. Qin's death, if it coincides with the time when Ji Wen spoke, then it proves that I am talking nonsense and suspicion, if it does not match, I am dead even before this time, hehe, then there is a problem here. ”

"It's a joke, is it a liar?" Qin Yiyun said.

Meng Tianchu said with a smile: "I do this business, what I believe most is the dead, only the dead don't lie-" glanced at Xia Fengyi and Feiyan next to him, hurriedly coughed twice, and corrected: "I'm sorry, it should be said that the signs shown by the deceased after his death will not lie, as long as we accurately interpret it, we can know the inside story behind death!" To determine the true time of Madame Qin's death, you can only ask Madame Qin herself......"

"It's scary again!" Feiyan muttered in a low voice.

Meng Tianchu heard this sentence and said, "This time I am telling the truth, and I am not pretentious!" Meng Tianchu smiled and took out an oil-paper bag from his arms and put it on the square table in the meditation room, "I just stayed in the room where Mrs. Qin's body was parked for a while, and I performed an autopsy on Mrs. Qin's body and extracted the stomach contents of the corpse. ”

Xia Fengyi and Feiyan frowned, but they didn't dare to go up to look, Qin Yiyun, Zhang Zhenyu, He Wang, and Abbot Xuanyin were gathered around the table, looking down at the contents of the oiled paper bag. I saw that there were some rice grains and a few green vegetables in it.

Meng Tianchu said: "There are many ways to judge the time of death of the deceased, one of which is to infer it based on the degree of digestion of the stomach contents. We know that after a person eats, it is digested in the stomach, and after a person dies, the digestion stops, and the food in the stomach stays in the state of death. There is a certain physiological pattern of the time that food stays in the stomach and the time when chyme and food residues pass through the small intestine, according to which the time of death can be roughly judged as long as we determine the time when the deceased ate the last meal. Generally speaking, if we find that most of the stomach contents have moved to the duodenum, it means that the time of death is about an hour. ”

Meng Tianchu pointed to the food in the oil paper bag and said: "Last night we ate green vegetables and tofu, you see, the green vegetables and rice grains in Mrs. Qin's stomach are still good, only some of the tofu has begun to be digested, and most of the stomach contents have not yet moved to the duodenum, judging from the degree of digestion of the food, the deceased should have been killed a short time after dinner, about two quarters of an hour (that is, half an hour)." Therefore, before the food could be digested, people died. ”
