Chapter 613: Cerebral edema

Lu Yuanzhi sweated like rain for half an hour, and the skull of the deceased was finally sawed open by him, and after the skull was removed, it was a layer of dura mater covered with dense blood vessels, and then cut this layer of dura with sharp small scissors, and you saw the brain tissue hidden deep in the cranial cavity, tightly protected by thick hair, tough skin and dura, and tough skull.

The human brain tissue itself is grayish-white, because of the blood, the brain tissue of the deceased who died not long ago is a faint pink, and the corresponding position of the occipital depression wound on the back of the head shows a shocking bright red!

The entire brain tissue, due to injuries before death, shows an abnormal state, which is the so-called "life reaction" in forensic science.

Life response refers to the reaction that occurs after the human body is stimulated during life, that is, when the body's circulatory and respiratory functions are still present, and people who have died have no life response. It is a commonly used test pointer for forensic doctors, and Qin Lin once used the skin of the cut to prove that the wound was forged after death, thus solving a homicide case.

What kind of life reaction will be formed when the head is hit hard with a blunt object?

The brain tissue of the deceased Demar gives a clear answer.

First of all, the most basic response of brain tissue to external stimuli - parasites burrow into the brain, poisoning, and of course, blunt force blows, is cerebral edema, capillaries in the brain tissue are dilated and congested, and body fluids seep out of the blood vessel walls, making the entire brain tissue edema, and the intracranial pressure increases rapidly.

Delmar's brain tissue is visibly swollen.

Secondly, it was Qin Lin who saw a large area of bleeding at the location of the brain tissue corresponding to the wound.

Between the dura mater and the brain tissue, there is also a thin transparent membrane called the arachnoid membrane (friends who have eaten pig brain flowers recall, hehe, the cat is evil... The space between the arachnoid membrane and the grayish-white brain tissue is called the subarachnoid space, and the bleeding phenomenon here is called subarachnoid hemorrhage, which often leads to a coma.

The degree of cerebral edema of Delmar was quite severe, and Qin Lin was immediately certain based on his experience in forensic science that she did not die immediately after suffering a traumatic brain injury, but survived for another five to ten minutes after the injury, and finally died!

"Everyone, please see," Qin Lin pointed to the brain tissue and explained to the officials and Mongolian nobles: "Everyone knows that when a person dies, no matter how he beats it, the scars are completely different from those formed by the beating of the living, which is the reason why the living have qi and blood, but the dead do not. In the same way, if Delma had died immediately after being hit, her head would have hemorrhed, but it wouldn't have been swollen like this, so ......"

Lu Fatzi slapped his thigh and said: "She was first knocked on the back of the head by the murderer, fainted, and continued to have edema in her head, and then she was pushed in front of the galloping horse and was knocked to death!" ”

According to the unanimously recognized confessions of Huang Taiji, Huang Sandan, Xu Xinyi and other parties, after Dema was hit by a horse, he died almost immediately and did not go through the process of dying and struggling, so there should be no cerebral edema caused by life reactions; But now the autopsy of the saw head has found a high degree of edema that only exists for a while after the living person has been beaten, which can only happen before being hit by a galloping horse!

No wonder Qin Lin wanted to hammer the nail and drill the foot to implement the confession, and asked all the parties to sign and draw the pledge, it turned out that it ended up here!

Zhang Jing, Yan Qing and Liu Shouyou are not idle people, they immediately thought of this layer, and immediately brushed their brushes and gasped: Is the surname Qin or not a person? Foresighted, with eyes like lightning, he clearly firmly grasped the leading power from the beginning, and played Huang Taiji and his gang in the palm of his hand...... "My old brother, haha, General Qin is my old brother!" Zhang Gongyu said to Huang Jiashan with a smug face, look at our Zhang Dutang like that, we are all about to tremble.

Whew~~ Shen Shixing wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said in his heart that the case was really a twist and turn, and it was also thanks to General Qin, who judged the yin and yang, that he could peel off the cocoon and find out here, and I am afraid that someone else would have been out of line for a long time.

Xu Jue, Chen Yingfeng and several masters of the six doors shook their heads and sighed in unison, they couldn't even feel jealous, knowing that they would not be able to reach the height of Chief Qin in their lives.

Xu Xinyi waved his little fist, Jin Yingji covered her heart with her two hands, and the beautiful eyes of the two beauties went straight to the little star: handsome, too handsome, Qin Lin is mighty and domineering!

Huang Taiji was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and the case was deduced by Qin Lin to this point, and it was one step away from breaking out.

In a hurry, he couldn't take care of it, and protested: "This, this is what you said with one mouth, who knows what your head will look like if you die early or later?" Don't accept it, let's not accept it! ”

Yan Qing also lowered his head, intentionally or unintentionally muttering to himself: "Song Tixing's "Record of Clearing Grievances" and Wang Lushi's "Record of No Grievances" don't seem to mention ......"

is worthy of being the book of the criminal department, Yan Qing's trick is poisonous enough!

Old Puff! Shen Shixing scolded secretly, the smile on his face was still indifferent, and the little black book in his heart made a note of Yan Qing again, secretly hating him for not taking himself as the third assistant of the cabinet in his eyes, and repeatedly opposing him.

Officials with a little experience in judging cases, such as Xu Jue, Chen Yingfeng, Zhang Guoyan, and Huang Jiashan, are all very dissatisfied with Yan Qing's nitpicking, and it is true that neither the record of injustice nor the record of injustice specifically mention the problem of cerebral edema, but the difference between the three of being injured before death and then dying, dying immediately after being injured, and being damaged after death has been mentioned many times in the two books, and the reason is completely common.

Shen Shixing wants to be a good person, Chen Yingfeng doesn't care if he offends Yan Qing, as soon as the hornet's eyes opened, he shouted in a jackal's voice: "General Qin, it's easy to prove, you Beizhen Fusi Prison and my Dongchang dungeon, like the evil thief who killed his father and mother, and the rebel who plotted rebellion, there are quite a few who have been decided. ”

This method is good, but it is too cruel and bloody, although the prisoner is going to be executed, I also think it is too much.

Sure enough, the factory guard eagle dog is cruel and ruthless! The civil officials present all despised Chen Yingfeng, and unfortunately Qin Lin and Liu Shouyou were also shot.

Jin Yingji and Xu Xinyi also frowned, it is one thing to execute prisoners, and it is another thing to knock a large number of people to death on the spot, not to mention sawing off people's heads continuously, although her two young women are not young ladies who are afraid of blood, they also feel a little unbearable.

"Oh my god!" When the fat man heard Chen Yingfeng's proposal, he was stunned on the spot, and then the little round face immediately collapsed, and he couldn't get up holding his head - no kidding, the fat man is not a terminator, sawing a human head is enough for him to be "cool", if he wants to saw ten or twenty more, is he still "cool"?

"Brother Qin, spare your life!" Lu Fatzi lay down directly.

Qin Lin smiled: "Don't worry, I'm not ready to do that." ”

Lu Fatzi immediately jumped up with a smile, and suddenly worried about Qin Lin, there is no need for prisoners to do experiments, what method can be used to prove it?

"Otherwise, let's do what Chen Li said," Lu Fatzi rubbed his hands embarrassedly, and pointed to Niu Dali, who was grinning stupidly: "It's a big deal to let the old cow take a hand." ”

No way! Niu Dali stumbled, and said in his heart that this is the newspaper of the present world.

"I said no, I didn't need it," Qin Lin's eyes widened.

Ahem, Qin Lin coughed dryly, his eyes were rolling shyly, and the corners of his mouth were slightly bent upward-everyone who was familiar with him Xu Xinyi, Jin Yingji, Niu Dali, Lu Fatzi and others knew that our Chief Qin was going to be in bad water again!

"Huang Sandan, come on, come on," Qin Lin smiled and beckoned to Huang Sandan, who was hiding on the side, really enthusiastic.

Needless to say, Chief Qin's honey-bellied sword concealed evil intentions, but Huang Sandan shuddered all over his body, and there was really no way, so he had to take two small steps and lower his head: "Chief Qin has something to ask the little one?" ”

That's right, that's good! Qin Lin flicked the paper that recorded the confession, and smiled: "Huang Sandan, there is no mention of Mrs. Demar's shouting in this confession, didn't you hear it at that time?" ”

Huang Sandan's confession has been drawn, how dare he change his words? I had to bite the bullet and say: "No, I only heard the sound of horses' hooves and crashes, and there was no shouting from her." ”

The eyes of all the officials lit up at the same time, and they more or less guessed Qin Lin's train of thought, ah, it turned out that he had another hand here!

Huang Taiji was so anxious that he couldn't care about anything else, so he said with a white face: "I called, Dema she shouted, we forgot to say it just now." ”

Yes, yes, Gulgeteji and Bahechi put their heads in line with the dots.

Qin Lin smiled more and more happily, "The confession said that you were in the silk shop across the street at the time, since you heard it, then the shopkeeper and the guys of the silk shop should have heard it, right?" Maybe I can ask them......"

"Huh? No, no, I think about it, well, I actually heard it wrong, Delma didn't scream, didn't call," Huang Taiji shook his hands in a panic, and quickly changed his words, that look was so embarrassing that he slapped himself alive!

Hee-hee-hee~~ Jin Yingji covered her mouth and pinched Xu Xinyi gently: "It's too funny, it's so funny, I finally know what Qin Lin did before." ”

"What?" Xu Xinyi blinked his big round eyes.

Jin Yingji said solemnly: "Monkey tricker!" ”

After that, the two beauties laughed so hard that they couldn't stand up straight.

When the officials heard this, they couldn't help but laugh on their faces, isn't General Qin playing monkey, Huang Taiji turned around, and the spit out was swallowed back raw, and the appearance of being out of place was extremely embarrassing!

Qin Lin turned to Jebe and asked again, "Brother Jebel, Dema is your master, is she deaf and blind, is she dumb?" ”

"No, the master's eyes are brighter than the stars, and her voice is like a horse's head harp!" As he spoke, he stared at Huang Taiji fiercely, if his eyes could spew fire, Huang Taiji would definitely be wiped out.

"Yes," Qin Lin shook Xu Xinyi's side, Huang Taiji's side, and the "neutral" Huang Sandan, these three points of testimony: "All the testimonies did not mention that Delmar had ever called, but Delmar was not deaf, blind, or dumb, even if Xu's horse was fast, it was impossible for such a straight street to suddenly collide, and it was only when she flew up and hit the wall before she died, there was a process, so why didn't she scream and shout?" ”

At this point, the answer is about to come out, Qin Lin pointed out bluntly: "There is no exclamation before and after the impact, cerebral edema that can only be formed after surviving for a period of time after the injury, and the round blunt force impact scar, any one may not be undoubted, but if these three appear at the same time, it can only be one result - after Delmar was knocked unconscious, he was thrown out of the mouth of the alley, and he was killed by Xu's horseback!" ”

No wonder! Xu Xinyi exclaimed, "When I think about it, I feel that something was wrong at the time, but now I think about it, not only did Dema not scream and shout, but her posture was not very right, it didn't look like she came out by herself." ”

The evidence is ironclad and irrefutable, the case has nothing to do with Xu Xinyi so far, although Delmar was killed by a galloping horse, there is another person behind the scenes.

"Delma, you died so miserably," Huang Taiji suddenly howled, "Who is it, who killed my Delma?" ”

Damn, are you still pretending? In fact, by now, everyone almost has a score in their hearts, and they all despise this guy.

Qin Lin smiled happier than ever, and instructed Lu Yuanzhi: "Fatty, go and bring Asha here, oh no, let Asha bring Rhubarb." ”

This guy! Xu Xinyi had a black line on his head, and said in his heart that Asha was so pitiful.

Qin Lin smiled again and pointed to Dema's corpse: "Everyone saw it just now, she was knocked unconscious by a round blunt object with a thickness of an inch, so what kind of murder weapon hurt her?" Stones, pebbles, sticks...... Or, the hilt? ”

Before the words landed, everyone's eyes involuntarily turned to the group of Mongolian nobles.

Whether it is a nobleman or a Nayan warrior, everyone wears a khan scimitar at their waists, this kind of scimitar has a long blade, a thick back, a very sharp blade, and excellent chopping ability, but the weight is relatively large, so there is a ball-like counterweight at the end of the handle, so that it can be used when wielding.

This piece of counterweight is exactly the thickness of the handlebar, which is exactly the same as the blunt force injury on the back of Delmar's head!

Hmph, Qin Lin sneered, Dema was killed in more than ten minutes after leaving the silk shop to go to the official thatched house, the murderer should not specifically go to find the murder weapon and deal with the murder weapon afterwards, so what could be more convenient than the handle of the Great Khan Scimitar that he carried with him?

As he spoke, Asha led Rhubarb and ran quickly, but Lu Yuanzhi fell behind, tired and out of breath.

"Uncle, do you want Asha to help?" The little girl's eyes were watery and full of anticipation.

"It's for Rhubarb to help," Qin Lin smiled and patted her head.

It's infuriating! Asha hated him, and finally followed Qin Lin's instructions and led the dog to sniff Dema's body.

"Untie all your Khan scimitars!" Qin Lin shouted at the Mongolian nobles: "The real murderer of Lady Delma is among you!" ”
