Chapter 51: Life Reactions
After the inspection, the site survey was carried out. No footprints were extracted at the scene, but a few palm prints and fingerprints were extracted from the open back window, but after comparison, they were the abbot of Xuanyin and the little monk Xusong. This is very understandable, according to Xuanyin, he couldn't open the door, and when he went to the back window, he found that the pine was hanging, so he climbed through the back window and entered, so he would leave handprints and fingerprints on the windowsill. This room belongs to the little monk, and it is normal for the little monk to leave fingerprints.
Why didn't the killer leave fingerprints? Under normal circumstances, you must use your hands to support the window sill in order to enter the room, and if you want to hold the window sill with your hands, there is a high chance that you will leave a fingerprint or fingerprint on the window sill that can be detected, but why not? Could it be that the murderer was wearing gloves? Impossible, the ancients did not have the anti-reconnaissance knowledge of wearing gloves to prevent leaving fingerprints, could it be that the murderer jumped into the room with a pole? Or, the murderer is the abbot Xuanyin at all, he is a thief shouting to catch a thief!
Meng Tianchu squatted next to the corpse, thinking about the whole incident. A scalpel was taken out and an autopsy was carried out on the neck of the corpse, and it was found that there were conjectional hemorrhage areas in the muscles of the deep internal groove of the corpse's neck, superficial and deep cervical lymph nodes also had hemorrhage, and the great horn of the hyoid bone was fractured with hemorrhage. This is a typical reaction of death before death, but not after death. ”
After the autopsy, his eyes slowly lit up, and then he stood up and opened the door, hurriedly came out with the forensic evidence investigation box, asked Feiyan to pour him a cup of tea, and carried it into the room where Mrs. Qin was parked.
He closed the door, and he didn't know what he was busy with inside, and after waiting for a while, Meng Tianchu opened the door and came out, holding a cup in his hand and saying to scholar Zhang Zhenyu: "Please go and pour me half a glass of wine, okay?" Glancing at the old monk Xuanyin, he hurriedly added: "It's for testing, I won't drink it." ”
Zhang Zhenyu smiled and nodded: "Okay!" He took the cup and went out, and after a while, he came back with half a glass of wine and handed it to Meng Tianchu.
Meng Tianchu thanked him, closed the door again, and after a long while, he took off his gloves and walked out with a smile on his face. When everyone saw him smiling, they all gathered around.
Meng Tianchu was not in a hurry to explain the process of his autopsy, but asked Qin Yiyun to bring He Wang to the Daxiong Treasure Palace.
After He Wang brought it, he had already heard that Xusong was hanged just now, but at this moment he was more concerned about his fate, and pleaded with a sad face: "Master Meng, Mrs. Qin really didn't kill me...... I've wronged you......"
Meng Tianchu smiled and stepped forward to untie the rope for him personally, and patted him on the shoulder: "I now know that the real murderer is indeed not you, but someone else." ”
He Wang was pleasantly surprised, his knees weakened, he fell to the ground with a bang, and kept calling him Lord Qingtian. Meng Tianchu helped him up.
It's no wonder that He Wang is like this, because everyone has stolen money, which in ancient times, it was an iron case that was enough to kill He Wang. Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that He Wang escaped death.
He Wang was overjoyed, but Meng Tianchu's words stunned everyone, of course, Xia Fengyi and Feiyan were a little mentally prepared, after all, they had heard Meng Tianchu's doubts about the case last night.
Qin Yiyun first shouted: "No, didn't you say last night that he killed my lady and then snatched my lady's pearl necklace?" Why is it not now? ”
"Because Xusong didn't hang himself, he was killed and then hanged himself! And Xusong's killing told me that the real murderer of your lady is not He Wang! ”
Killed again? There were two murders in a row in this ancient temple in one night! Everyone looked at each other, and they all felt a chill down their spines, and for a while, no one asked Meng Tianchu why he judged that Xusong died of murder. When I heard Meng Tianchu say that according to Xusong's killing, it was found out that the murder of Mrs. Qin was not committed by He Wang, which was even more surprising.
Zhang Zhenyu said: "Meng Gongzi, the more you say this, the more mysterious it becomes, it makes us all dizzy, can you explain it?" ”
"Of course, it has to be explained. Everyone, please come to the Void Pine Meditation Room. With that, Meng Tianchu walked into the meditation room first. Everyone glanced at each other and followed into the meditation room.
Although Xia Fengyi and Feiyan were afraid of the dead bodies inside, they also wanted to know how Meng Tianchu found out the real murderer, and who the real murderer was, so the two of them also entered the meditation room, stood by the door and listened, this position is good, once the corpse is killed, you can run away.
Meng Tianchu squatted next to the head of Xusong's corpse on the ground, pointed to the strangulation marks on the corpse's neck and said: "Xusong was hanged by his own trouser belt, according to the strangulation marks on his neck, it is a typical hanging, simply put, the rope is above the back of Xusong's head, and his head hangs down." ”
Zhang Zhenyu nodded: "Yes, what we saw just now is this situation." ”
Qin Yiyun said: "What kind of typical ...... are you analyzing? Can the typical ...... of the Han style explain anything? ”
"Of course you can!" Meng Tianchu pointed to his neck, "Typical anterior hangings will cause the blood vessels in the neck of the person to be completely closed, and the head and face of the person will be in a state of ischemia, so the face should be pale." However, if you look at the face of the corpse of Xusong, it is blue and purple! ”
After listening to Meng Tianchu's explanation, everyone seemed to understand, Qin Yiyun said: "I have seen people hanging with their heads hanging before, but their faces are indeed pale. But this loose face is bruised, and it is different. ”
Since there are people who have seen hanged people testify, everyone believes it, He Wang is in a good mood, and praises: "Meng Gongzi suddenly discovered the clue, it's really amazing!" ”
Although Meng Tianchu cleared his grievances, he was still not interested in him, and ignored him, and continued: "Because the facial performance of Xusong's corpse does not conform to the characteristics of the previous hanging, this makes me suspect that Xusong did not die of hanging, but pretended to hang himself after being killed by other methods. After checking, it turned out to be so. ”
Qin Yiyun said: "So amazing? Can you explain? ”
Meng Tianchu smiled slightly and said, "Okay, I'll explain it to you!" The difference between hanging death and hanging corpse after death is mainly whether there is a life response in the groove and deep neck tissues. ”
"Life...... What's the reaction to life? Feiyan on the side also listened attentively, and asked with big black eyes flashing.
