Chapter 40: Knives and saws
Hearing that Qin Lin was going to autopsy, the onlookers all stirred, and the scene was noisy.
Originally, in this era, it was said that the parents of the body should not be damaged, and even if the corpse was examined, the body surface examination would prevail, and the corpse could not be further destroyed, and the autopsy was only allowed under extremely special circumstances.
Like now, Qin Lin is taking a great risk when he proposes to dissect the corpse, because the Ming criminal law stipulates that "if you destroy the dead body of others, you will have a hundred rods and three thousand miles", if Qin Lin can't find a problem by autographing the corpse, according to this law, he will be punished with a hundred boards and exiled for three thousand miles!
Li Shizhen pulled Qin Lin's arm, and his tone was very sincere: "Qin Shi's nephew, in the years of decay of the old man, even if he is guilty of quack murder, it is nothing more than putting a little fame into the water, and you are young and in your prime, if there is any mistake, you will become a guilty body in the future and a lifelong disgrace!" It's better to give up the autopsy and let the old man admit the crime. β
When Li Jianfang heard that his father was going to admit the crime of quack murder, the muscles on his face jumped, and he wanted to say something to stop him, but he knew that he could not change his father's mind, so he had to stomp his feet and let out a low sigh.
Qin Lin suddenly turned around and smiled at Qing Dai: "Senior sister, do you say that it is a corpse, or not?" β
Qingdai has long been in a dilemma, don't dissect it, let the white-haired grandfather confess his guilt against his will, and practice medicine all his life until he is old? Let's dissect, if there is a slight mistake, Chi Qinlin will be charged with mutilating the corpse, a hundred rods, and three thousand miles!
The girl's hands were tightly clasped with each other, ten fingers pinched and pinched, her heart had been stirred like a mess, and the crystal tears rolled down like pearls with broken threads.
"Then do you believe in my methods?"
The girl raised her head when she heard this, and looked at Qin Lin with teary eyes, only to see that this guy had a bad smile on his face, but he didn't care at all, and the confidence revealed in the light breeze gave people a feeling of absolute reliability.
She nodded involuntarily.
"That's good," Qin Lin leaned closer and said in a voice that only Qing Dai could hear, "After the truth is revealed, you can't call me junior brother anymoreβyou have to call me Brother Qin." β
Qin Lin's words seemed to carry some kind of irresistible magic, and Qing Dai was stunned for a while, and couldn't help but nod.
Haha laughing, Qin Lin walked up to Zhang Gongyu, "May I ask Zhang's parents, if Wansheng finds evidence of He Erlang's blackmail from the autopsy, then is Wansheng still guilty?" β
Zhang Gongyu shook his head like a rattle, and the wings of the black gauze hat shook for a while: "Naturally not guilty, the false accuser of the Ming Dynasty sits back, you dissect the corpse for defense, and the crime of mutilating the corpse is also reversed He Erlang - but are you really sure?" β
Qin Lin's demeanor was calm: "Please let the late students give it a try." β
Zhang Gongyu sighed secretly in his heart, once the corpse was dissected, this matter would be out of control, Qin Lin and He Erlang must have a staff of 100 and a flow of 3,000 li.
I really don't want Qin Lin to take such a big risk, the temper of Master Zhang and the good old man in the mud flares up again, and he asked He Erlang with a pleasant face: "You also heard, if Brother Qin really dissects the corpse, one of the two of you will always be unlucky, why don't you come and I will be a peacemaker for you, the master will burn twenty taels of silver to send your father to the ground, and you will each settle a lawsuit, so that you don't have to take the risk of flowing three thousand miles, and secondly, Ling Zun can also be buried with a complete corpse, okay?" β
He Erlang would have agreed if he was alone, but the patriarch He Old Man and the villagers insisted that there would be no problem with the corpse, but he couldn't stand up and couldn't go back, so he had to bite the bullet and said: "My father was killed by this quack doctor, no matter where he goes, this sentence is this, follow your dissection, you have to give me justice!" β
"Why bother? Ling Zun is dead, and the body will be destroyed......" Zhang Gongyu sighed helplessly, as the governor of the state, he had no choice but to order the body to be taken to the state mortuary for autopsy.
The patriarch He held the sliding rod and didn't let him go: "Parent Zhang, we can trust you, but who knows if other people will make ghosts?" To dissect, right here, the big guy looks at it so that there is no drawback. β
Saying that, he also looked directly at Qin Lin, and he simply said that he suspected that Qin Lin was going to cheat.
Zhang Gongyu had no choice but to order the officials to go to Nanshi to get some bamboo mats, straw mats, a few poles, and straw mats, and then set up a pergola on the side of the street, and moved the corpse to the pergola for dissection.
The admiring, fearful or suspicious eyes of everyone present were all focused on Qin Lin, only to see him pick up the hem of his robe and tie it into his waist, and strode into the grass hut with a high stride.
Seeing this, Zhang Gongyu praised the knot: "What a Qin Mujian who went to the trouble to repay his teacher's kindness!" Kong said to be benevolent, Meng said to take righteousness, Qin Muhibiscus now said to kill himself and become benevolent, sacrificing his life to take righteousness, when Yang Zhongchou Gong Jisheng impeached and annihilated Yan Song, and tied up Jingshi Xishi, I think it is similar to today's situation! β
Qin Lin stumbled, almost planted a mouth to gnaw on the mud, and said that he had overworked his performance, and turned around and threw Zhang Gongyu a resentful look: Big brother, I'm not dead yet......
The people are cheering, especially the gangsters in the city who admire the bold and responsible heroes the most, Qin Lin is not afraid of flowing for three thousand miles and daring to dissect the dead, so they admire it tightly, and they are the most energetic.
Even the villagers in Hejia Village admired Qin Lin for daring to take such a big risk in order to exonerate his master, and a group of juniors who were not clean and scolded at the beginning had already closed their mouths at this time.
Needless to say, Qingdai's two watery eyes were red and swollen like peaches, maybe it was Qin Lin's last words, she always felt that this stupid junior brother was doing this stupid thing for herself, and the girl's heart was full of knots and sorrow: "Idiot, just call you Brother Qin, is it worth it?" β
Unexpectedly, as soon as Qin Lin entered the grass shed and walked out, Qing Dai only thought that he had something new, and his heart was raised to his throat.
"This, who has a quick knife, borrow one?" Qin Lin scratched his head embarrassedly.
Poof~ The audience vomited blood.
The waist knife of the official is broken copper and iron, and he is embarrassed to take it out, but the embroidered spring knife of Jinyiwei is good, and several lieutenants are scrambling: "Use mine, I just sharpened it yesterday!" "With mine, it's a good knife from Burmese Steel!"
"What are you doing, Lao Tzu hasn't spoken yet, what kind of system have you become!?" Shi Wei shouted angrily, and several captains were shocked, so they had to retreat with a smile.
Shi Wei proudly glared at the group of brothers under him a few times, his beard was almost up to the sky, and he suddenly raised his waist towards Qin Lin, and presented the saber with both hands: "Brother Qin, use my knife, it's better than those rabbit cubs!" β
No way! The lieutenants vomited blood again and fainted.
Qin Lin waved his hand and said with a wry smile: "This knife is still too long and too big, is there a trumpet?" β
In addition to kitchen knives, it is a war knife these days, and it is really difficult to find a sharp and small knife, after all, there may not be a case that requires an autopsy within the state and county for decades.
It was still Lu Yuanzhi who had an idea: "Brother Qin, I have a boning knife for dissolving pigs at home, can I pick up the smallest one for you?" β
Pig-killing knives? This time it was Qin Lin's turn to faint, so he had no choice but to let him get it.
The fat man did not run slowly, and rolled down the street like a ball, and in a moment he had retrieved the smallest boning knife.
Qin Lin saw that although this knife did not have a scalpel in his hand, it could be done, so he took it and entered the grass shed.
Zhang Gongyu, Shi Wei, Li Shizhen, Old Man He and others rushed in, this small grass hut is not wide, and even the old man of Zhizhou and the hundred households in brocade clothes do not have seats, but driven by curiosity, they are willing to stand against the wall.
Outside the grass hut was even more crowded, if it weren't for the officials and the lieutenants in brocade clothes doing their best to suppress it, I am afraid that the grass hut would have been squeezed into a pile of thatch.
Li Shizhen, Li Jianfang, and Pang Xian also entered the grass shed, he didn't want Qin Lin to take the risk of dissecting the corpse, but now he can't retreat.
After thinking for a moment, Li Shizhen whispered in Qin Lin's ear: "With the old man's experience, the cause of the deceased is really between the heart and lungs. β
Qin Lin nodded, Li Shizhen's judgment was very accurate.
He picked up the boning knife.
The Xueliang boning knife was held in his hand, his slender and powerful fingers held the handle at the most suitable angle, the cold temperature of the knife entered the palm of his hand, Qin Lin was immediately immersed in some strange state, his eyes burst out with strange brilliance, and his eyes were sharper than a scalpel to examine the corpse, his thoughts were calm and precise, calculating, thinking, Qin Lin turned into a sophisticated machine in this instant.
"Let's see the real cause of death of the deceased!"
Qin Lin's head fell on the left chest of the corpse, the sharp tip of the knife slashed vertically from the pale skin of the deceased, a dark red knife edge, pulled left and right again, the technique was extremely neat, the tip of the knife was lightly picked, reaching out and pulling the muscle at the knife edge to the side, the human tissue layer was impressively presented: pale skin, pale yellow fat layer, dark red muscles, and the bottom ribs, vividly in my mind.
At the same time, the unique smell of the corpse became more and more intense, and the fishy smell in the grass shed rushed straight to the ground, and everyone covered their noses one after another.
Shi Wei frowned, he had seen a lot of scenes where the head was cut off and the head fell to the ground, but he could cut the corpse open like this, face the truth of death, and still beat the drum in his heart.
Zhang Gongyu's face was as pale as dirt, the slightest official authority was gone, his body was shaking, and the wings on both sides of the black gauze hat were like dragonfly wings.
"Is there a saw?" Qin Lin pointed to his ribs, "You have to saw it open before you can take the lungs out and look at them." β
Fortunately, the small saw in the medical hall was quickly retrieved.
Qin Lin squatted next to the corpse, holding a saw in his hand to saw the ribs, the creaking sound was like a steel needle stimulating people's eardrums, and every time he pulled the saw, he brought up a flurry of broken bones and fine minced meat.
It was the height of summer, but it was colder than the harsh winter in the grass shed, and people couldn't help but get goosebumps, and even Shi Wei and Niu Dali, two people who had always been bold, turned pale.
Wow vomit~ Zhang Gongyu couldn't help but vomit, this kind of scene that is even more terrible than a horror movie finally made the big man from the top three jinshi unbearable.
Qin Lin said with a smile: "It's very hot in summer, Zhang's parents think it's heat stroke, the corpse in this grass shed smells bad, please go outside to find a shady place to rest." β
Zhang Gongyu was so grateful to Qin Lin, it was heat stroke instead of being afraid, and his face came down, and he retreated out of the door and said: "Yes, yes, this official is very dizzy, I think it was the sun on the way here, and the sedan chair is like a steamer......
"It's so hot, we're all a little bit of heat stroke......" Niu Dali, Cui Zhutou, the torture room clerk and others all scrambled to escape from the grass shed.
