Chapter 747: Green-Haired Corpse

The appearance of the City God Temple in Longyou County is relatively dilapidated, the temple is gray everywhere, and the clay sculptures of the City God Bodhisattva and the little ghost are dull in color, covering a layer of traces of time ().

Almost all the city's city god temple, have the function of mortem for the sudden death of outsiders, Longyou County this city god temple is of course no exception, just in the second courtyard on the left side of the temple, under the eaves of the old and new seven or eight coffins, after the death of the Du shopkeeper occupies the latest one of the ().

The partial courtyard has been tightly guarded by the Jinyi official schools, Qin Lin took the lead, Lu Yuanzhi, Luo Dongyan and others followed into the courtyard, and more official schools were scattered to guard on all sides.

As soon as he walked into the courtyard, Luo Dongyan frowned, it was the rainy season, the air was extremely humid, and the smell of these seven or eight coffins could not help but come out.

Looking at Qin Lin and Lu Yuanzhi as if nothing happened, Luo Dongyan shook his head slightly, and he didn't know what he was shaking, but he just arched: "Qin Shaobao......"

"Open the coffin!" Qin Lin gave a short and powerful drink, which startled Luo Dongyan, and the second half of the words were swallowed back into his stomach.

The shopkeeper Du is an old man of Wufeng Maritime Merchant, although he died in the coffin in the field, the two-inch thick red shirt wooden coffin, and the copper nail with the thickness of the little finger nailed the coffin lid tightly - they all said that they died of illness, and the corpse was transported back to their hometown, who would have thought that the coffin would be opened for autopsy later?

But this is not difficult for the officials and schools in brocade clothes, Qin Lin broke off when he heard it, and more than 20 officials brushed the embroidered spring knife on their waists out of the sheath, inserted it into the gap of the coffin lid, and said "up", everyone exerted their strength at the same time, only the sound of pricking was heard, all the copper nails burst out, and the heavy coffin lid was lifted alive.

The fast officials in Longyou County originally said that they were going to find a mace and a crowbar, but when they saw this scene, they all stuck out their tongues: Jinyiwei is really Jinyiwei, a cow!

A reckless man is a reckless man! Luo Dongyan stood next to him and laughed, but soon he couldn't laugh, because as the coffin lid was opened, the terrible smell went straight to his nostrils, causing his throat to burst with sour water, and his eyes were glazed, so he had to take three steps back, and as soon as he stopped, he couldn't help but take three steps back.

Longyou was in the mountainous area of western Zhejiang, and it took four days for the messenger to rush to Hangzhou with the news of the death of the shopkeeper Du, and then it took Qin Lin two days to come here, and it took six days to come back and forth, and of course the corpse had a taste.

However, there are also bold catchers and errand soldiers who stretch their necks to look into the coffin, and this look is amazing, and they shout in surprise: "Green-haired zombies, amazing, give birth to green-haired zombies ()!" ”

Yes? Luo Dongyan couldn't help but look at it with disgust, isn't it, the corpse is covered with green hair, and the face is fluffy and green, it looks so scary!

"Hey, what green-haired zombie? The weather is tidal, and the corpse is just moldy," Qin Lin glanced at the group of people in Longyou County angrily and funny, put on cocoon gloves and masks by himself, stretched out his hand and brushed the corpse's face, and peeled off a layer of gray-green mold, revealing the miserable white face of the shopkeeper Du.

The surface of the corpse is covered with oil and secretions, and the skin itself is also organic matter, so of course it will grow mold when the weather is humid.

Seeing that Qin Lin's white gloves were stained with green mold, and there was nothing else abnormal, Luo Dongyan and his officials made up their minds and slowly went to look at the corpse.

"Fatty, you're here for a body surface check!" Qin Lin walked to the front of the water tank as he spoke, to wash off the mold on the gloves, and this guy said shamelessly: "There is too much mold, it's really troublesome to get it, let's give the opportunity to the fat man." ”

Lu Yuanzhi had already been mentally prepared, walked to the side of the coffin with the raw cowhide bag containing tools, and muttered: "I know that this green-haired corpse is also my dish, Brother Qin, you can really take care of your brother." ”

I'm exercising you, you know? Qin Lin smiled heartlessly.

The fat man's complaint is just a habit, Ya's nerves are thicker than an elephant, and he doesn't care about any green-haired corpse at all, as soon as he puts on his gloves, he goes to move the corpse, making the green mold fly.

Although the weather is damp, fortunately, this is a mountainous area in western Zhejiang, and the temperature is much lower than that of Hangzhou, Wenzhou and other coastal areas.

The fat man first picked off the eyelids of the corpse, and then shook his head in disappointment: "I have been dead for six days, and my eyes are all cloudy, and I can't see whether there is bleeding underneath ()." ”

After wiping the corpse's face with a wet cloth and looking at his fingernails again, Lu Yuanzhi exclaimed: "The lips are blue and the nails are black, a bit like he died of suffocation." ”

There was an uproar, and people were talking, and Luo Dongyan couldn't help but shout: "This Lu, Chief Lu, you can see clearly, is it really suffocated to death?" ”

"Like, but not necessarily," Lu Yuanzhi turned around, squeezed his small eyes narrowly, and said seriously: "Actually, heart disease, lung disease, and death from failure will all be like this, it looks like suffocation." ”

Hey, this fat guy is surprised! Luo Dongyan wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Qin Lin couldn't help laughing, the fat man also learned to flirt with people.

"There are no scars on the inside of the mouth and nose, and there are no pinching or bruises on the neck," the fat man continued to report as he examined it.

Luo Dongyan breathed a sigh of relief more and more, and said to Qin Lin with a huff in his waist: "Qin Shaobao, you see, there are neither pinch marks nor bruises, it can be seen that it is not a fatal death, the shopkeeper Du is old and weak, and he is seriously ill, so according to Chief Lu, he died of exhaustion, it looks like suffocation, but it is not suffocation." ”

Now learn and sell, Luo Zhixian said in his heart that I took out what your own people said, you can't not admit it, right?

The fat man lifted the corpse's head again, touched the back of the occipital area, and then checked the chest and abdomen: "There is no dark wound to the head, and the skull is intact." Well, there is no injury on the chest and abdomen, hand touch, hand touch...... Hey? ”

The deceased was wearing a short coat of fine white cloth and pajama pants, and Lu Yuanzhi lifted the short coat from the bottom up, so he checked the abdomen first, and then he used scissors to cut the placket, and at the same time touched it with his hands, and was about to report the sentence "The ribs are not damaged when the hand touches the ribs", and the sudden situation made him pause.

Very strange anomaly, the deceased's chest and abdomen are in two large areas in the shape of an inverted figure-eight, and the green mold is obviously much thinner and sparse.

"Brother Qin, look, what's going on?" Lu Yuanzhi took a step back and said in surprise: "Could it be that these green molds were transformed by the resentment of the deceased and specially grown for us to see?" Eight, this is an eight-character, how can it be written down? ”

After Du's death, he used green mold to draw a graphic on his corpse, pointing out the direction of solving the case, and avenging his grievances?

There were seven or eight coffins in the small courtyard, which were different from the old and the new, and it was gloomy and cold, and the air seemed to be a lot colder at this time, and many people couldn't help but shiver ().

"Such a strange thing, Xia Guan is really unheard of......" Luo Dongyan muttered, obviously confused.

"Don't be impatient!" Qin Lin waved his hand and walked to the side of the coffin.

The corpse was covered with green hair, except for a large area of the chest that was obviously shallow and sparse, if this area was regarded as an unclosed V-shape, the non-existent vertex was in the upper abdomen a little lower than the ribs, and the two wings of the V-shaped passed through the chest, extending to the left and right sides of the chest, and disappeared near the armpits.

"Could it be that someone has painted something in this place?" Qin Lin pondered.

An old man from Longyou County stopped talking, and after getting the permission of Luo Dongyan, the magistrate, he said tentatively: "Qin Shaobao, isn't it, isn't it the potion that Shopkeeper Du took the decoction and spilled the medicinal juice?" You know, there are some decoctions that can get rid of mold. ”

There is some truth to this statement, and it is entirely possible that the corpse was painted or sprinkled with something to cause such a situation.

However, Qin Lin thought about it and denied this statement: "Looking at this shape, it doesn't look like a decoction, whether he sits and drinks the medicine dripping from his mouth, or chokes it out when he lies down and drinks the medicine, it is unlikely that this inverted figure eight shape will be formed." ”

Qin Lin instructed Lu Yuanzhi to suspend the inspection and not to destroy this area, and he slowly paced around the coffin, carefully observing, thinking......

Lu Yuanzhi also thought about it for a long time and didn't have a clue, he was very impatient, and muttered: "Hey, I really want to wipe off the green mold and look underneath, but if I wipe it, I will break this shape, or I'll draw it first?" ”

Erase off, wipe off? Erase ()!

Qin Lin's eyes suddenly flashed with brilliance, and he laughed and patted Lu Yuanzhi's shoulder: "You're right, it's not what you put on it, it's something that you wipe off...... Haha, the most simple question, but my eyes were covered by this layer of green mold, fat man, just wipe off the green mold as you said! ”

"Don't draw the shapes?" Lu Yuanzhi hesitated.

Qin Lin smiled: "Erase it and you should be able to see it more clearly." ”

What are these words, it's obviously the "markings" formed by the shallow green mold, isn't there nothing when you wipe it off? Luo Dongyan and other officials in Longyou County were very unimpressed, but they were small officials, so it was difficult to stop Qin Lin.

Lu Yuanzhi couldn't wait for a long time, picked up the wet cloth, wiped off the green mold on the chest of the corpse three times and divided it by two, and immediately he was surprised again: corresponding to the shallow position of the green mold, the skin in this area of the corpse was obviously paler than other parts, it was also an inverted figure-eight, and the shape and edges were more clearly recognizable!

"Isn't it better now?" Qin Lin smiled lovely, and pointed his hand at the corpse's chest and abdomen: "Everyone, please see, what is the situation, it will be like this?" ”

"It's like being weighed down by something heavy," the old man said again.

Lu Yuanzhi immediately understood: "Kneeling, someone is kneeling on the chest of the shopkeeper Du, and the inverted figure-eight shape is the shape of the murderer's two legs, kneeling on the chest of the deceased!" ”

Answer is correct! Qin Lin smiled and nodded.

The reason for the light green hair is not what is painted, but what is wiped off. The murderer's two legs not only pressed the skin of the deceased into blood loss and pale, but the pants he wore rubbed vigorously against the skin of the deceased, wiping off the oil secretions on the surface of the skin, and the pressure and blood loss led to subcutaneous capillary ischemia, so that after the body was moldy, the green mold in this area was much lighter!
