"Master Ma didn't die in the cold alley, but died on a warm bed," Qin Lin pondered, opened the deceased's eyelids, looked at the cloudy lens, and touched the deceased's cheek, and the tightly biting masseter muscles indicated that the mortis had reached its peak.

To be precise, in an indoor room with a high temperature.

Qin Lin pointed to the corpse and patiently explained to everyone that the development of the corpse mortis slowed down with the decrease in temperature, such as the case of the female corpse in Yuhuatai, Nanjing, which was killed by Liu Huanzhi, and the time for the appearance of the corpse mortis was quite delayed.

Master Ma was beaten until the crime was only three hours ago, and the case file shows that after he came out of Chen Minghao's house, he went to the teahouse with the family of the Yang Mansion to drink hot tea and eat a bowl of tofu brain, so it was only two and a half hours from the time he left everyone's sight to the time the body was found, even if he died immediately, because of the cold weather in Beijing, it was unlikely that he would be as stiff as iron when he was discovered by witnesses.

The plausible explanation, then, is that he died in a warm room on a bed with pillows, and about one or two hours later, the higher temperature in the room caused the corpse to appear more quickly, so that the corpse was fixed in a pillow position, with its neck raised and its head slightly raised.

For unknown reasons, the deceased was dumped in this cold alley until it was found by witnesses...... Hearing Qin Lin say this, Lu Fatzi shouted: "Haha, I know, it must have died in which concubine's bed!" ”

Lu Yuanzhi finally guessed correctly this time, Qin Lin nodded with a wicked smile, and asked him to untie the deceased's pants and take a look.

The fat man immediately took off Master Ma's pants, and the daughter-in-law who was looking at the lively woman on the wall in the alley screamed, and turned her back.

Fortunately, the people around him were either men or "battle-experienced" Guan Wenpo, but they didn't shy away from taboos, and a few thick-skinned Guan Wenpo were secretly happy, and said in a low voice: "I didn't see it, the old thing is quite ...... talking about it."

As long as you are a passerby, you can see some traces of it, which is ironclad evidence of the love between men and women not long ago.

Mao, who was still pretending to be howling, immediately scolded: "Old thing, phew, the old lady just turned around, and you really went out to steal again!" ”

Generally speaking, the first scene is determined to be the priority link in the murder investigation, and Qin Lin immediately asked the Mao family if he knew who Master Ma was cheating with.

Mao said categorically: "Then do you still need to ask?" It must be Widow Zhang from Jing'er Hutong, my family is old and immortal and has a hot fight with that scratching goods. ”

Qin Lin then instructed the officials to bring Widow Zhang.

Who knew that the official had just taken two steps, and Mao said suspiciously: "However, the daughter-in-law of the Sun San family on the west side of the Lingguan Temple, the little goblin and the dead ghost of my family are also a little unclear...... and the second sister-in-law Li of the leather pants camp, that's a vixen......"

Okay, Mao said seven or eight women who suspected of having an affair with her husband in one breath, and Qin Lin's head was as big as a fight, and finally Mao's brother added: "Sister, brother-in-law not only can climb the wall, in addition to these women, there are also kiln sisters, private prostitutes, and half-open doors, and there are more than a dozen houses he often visits." ”

Damn, life is a silver family!

Qin Lin, the fat man, and Niu Dali looked at each other, and their admiration for the dead Master Ma was like a surging river, and like the Yellow River flooding out of control...... In this way, it is not so easy to determine the place of Master Ma's death, and a large-scale investigation must be carried out, Qin Lin discussed it with Huang Jiashan, and asked the catchers to inquire about the situation everywhere.

He also tried to investigate from another aspect, and in the case of posthumous body removal, the means of transportation to transport the body were obviously an important breakthrough.

However, in recent years, every family in Beijing went to visit relatives and friends, drove horse-drawn carts and donkey carts to and fro, or large carts to transport New Year's goods, and the weather was so cold that even the firewood sellers drove ox carts into the city, and these means of transportation could hold corpses.

The catchers asked from house to house, and the results showed that the people in the entire alley had no impression of the various vehicles passing by, and there were too many of them.

"Since a large-scale investigation still needs time, let's take a look at the cause of death first," Qin Lin glanced at the fat man.

Huang Jiashan kindly reminded: "There is a bruise on the top of the deceased's head, which the official has seen just now, I am afraid that it is a head injury and an evil wind invasion, resulting in death from the injury." ”

Stroke is a general term for cerebrovascular diseases with the surname acute in traditional Chinese medicine, which is divided into "ischemic surname stroke" and "hemorrhagic surname stroke", Chinese medicine has long understood this, and the legend that Hua Tuo treated Cao Ying's head stroke is actually a craniotomy that has not been carried out - Hua Tuo diagnosed Cao Ying with intracranial hemorrhage, and tried to persuade him to open his craniotomy to remove blood clots, but Cao Ying, who was suspicious of heart disease, refused to do so, and regardless of whether Hua Tuo really had the technical conditions to perform craniotomy, he knew that the head wind was formed by intracranial coagulation (wind and saliva), He also proposed a craniotomy to remove blood clots, which was 1,700 years ahead of the world.

Huang Jiashan's meaning is translated into modern medical terms, that is, Master Ma died of intracranial hemorrhage caused by trauma.

The fat man did not touch the lump on the top of the deceased's head first, but took out a small and delicate razor from the raw cowhide bag, and shaved off the deceased's hair with a brush.

Mao was stunned for a moment, and then howled: "You, what the hell are you doing? How did you shave off my dead man's hair? Even if a person is dead, he can't be a monk! ”

The fat man didn't look back, and took the answer that Qin Lin taught him: "Since the injury is on the top of the head, you must shave off your hair to examine the injury, so that you can clearly understand." ”

Although Mao is a shrew and has lived in Beijing for a long time, how can he not know how powerful Jinyiwei is? Seeing that Qin Lin, Lu Yuanzhi and his party were all wearing flying fish suits, she didn't dare to scream.

Huang Jiashan pondered for a while before nodding. According to Confucianism, the parents who suffer from the hair and skin of the body must not be damaged, and the hair is not shaved casually, but human life is at stake, and in order to find out the facts of the case, it is impossible to shave off the hair of the deceased.

Although Lu Yuanzhi is fat, he does these things very neatly, and a few guys shaved Master Ma's hair, and the wound on the top of his head is clearly revealed.

At this moment, it was indeed much clearer than pulling the hair to check, and I saw that there was indeed a bruise on the top of the head, and a big green bag bulged.

The fat man didn't do anything, he straightened Master Ma to the light, turned over and over to examine the corpse, and after reading it, he reported to Qin Lin: "Brother Qin, the deceased has many scars all over his body, including one bruise on his left arm, two bruises on his right arm, and one bruise on his left leg...... All of them were injured by mutual assault, and the injuries were slight and not fatal, except for a bruise on the top of the head, which was afraid of the invasion of evil winds and death. ”
