"Freeze, freeze to death?" Lu Fatzi was taken aback, and then suddenly realized: "Oh, Brother Qin said that she was forced to strip off her clothes by the murderer, so she froze to death!" ”

Wang Shizhen, Xu Xinyi and others all nodded again and again, secretly saying that the murderer used this method to kill people, which was really cruel and vicious.

No one expected Qin Lin to smile and shake his head, "No, no, no, I can infer that the deceased was not taken off by the murderer, but by himself." ”

What the?! Except for the old man, everyone was stunned, after all, there were many scars on the corpse and stains on the door, no matter how you look at it, it was all annihilated first and then killed, why did Qin Lin say that she took off her own clothes?

Xu Xinyi's red and glamorous lips pursed, his fingers pointed at his cheeks thoughtfully, and after a while, he asked, "Qin Lin, are you saying that the deceased was defiled first, and he was ashamed and decided to commit suicide, so he took off his clothes and froze to death?" ”

This explanation is also in line with the general situation, it seems that chaste martyrs are determined to die at every turn, but the way of suicide by taking off their clothes and freezing to death is too strange.

Wang Shizhen nodded and sighed in admiration: "Although this woman was defiled before her death, look at her body is scarred, she will resist to the death; Then he committed suicide to die with a clear will, without any greed for the world, and went to the red stripes, in the eyes of this official, he was not inferior to the chaste martyrs of the past dynasties! To find out the reason, I have to play a table for her. ”

Everyone nodded yes in unison, talking about it, saying that although this woman failed to keep her innocence, it was not too late to kill and martyrdom, and the spirit of chastity and martyrdom was no different from that of the martyrs of the past dynasties.

Xu Xinyi's surname is sparse, and he didn't feel anything just now, but now the audience suddenly came back to a little bit of discussion: What does a woman who dares to love have to commit suicide? Oops, how uncomfortable it is to commit suicide - cut, what are you doing, it's a big deal not to marry for the rest of your life, besides...... She looked at Qin Lin and stepped a stone into the soil with force under her feet.

Seeing that Qin Lin had not expressed his opinion for a long time, Wang Shizhen asked, "So, does General Qin think so?" ”

"It is true that she took off her clothes herself, but she did not necessarily mean to commit suicide." Qin Lin said a conclusion that surprised everyone, and the audience was in an uproar.

It's not suicide, it's not the persecution of criminals, this woman in the cold winter Layue took off her clothes by herself and ran naked behind the deserted Yuhuatai, is she crazy or stupid? How can a madman and a fool be beautiful and well-dressed?

Many villagers have changed color angrily, feeling that this brocade-clothed guard official is really full of firewood, and even the officials of Ying Tianfu also feel that Qin Lin has lost his level, and it is not as amazing as solving the case before.

Qin Lin's expression was solemn, he raised his hands and pressed down, waiting for the noisy voices to subside before he said the truth.

It turns out that the process of freezing to death can be divided into four stages:

The first is the excitation period, the body temperature is 36 to 35 degrees Celsius, in the early stage of the cold, there are chills, breathing, heartbeat is accelerated, blood pressure rises, and the nerves are in a state of excitement.

This is followed by a period of diminished excitement, when the body temperature is between 35 and 30 degrees Celsius, blood circulation and respiratory function gradually weaken, breathing, heart rate slows down, and blood pressure drops. Burnout, inflexibility, and impaired consciousness may occur, which can last longer.

Then there is the inhibition phase, when the body temperature is between 30 and 26 degrees Celsius, the heart rate, respiration, and blood pressure gradually decrease, and the response to external stimuli is sluggish, and consciousness is in a hazy state. During this period, the body surface temperature and anal temperature are close or equal for a period of time, and there is an "abnormal heat sensation", and the phenomenon of "abnormal undressing" can occur. Death from ventricular fibrillation may occur due to increased capillary permeability, interstitial edema, visceral congestion, decreased circulating blood volume, decreased cardiac stroke volume, and shortened refractory period of the cardiac conduction system.

Finally, there is a period of complete paralysis, the body temperature is below 25 degrees Celsius, the thermoregulatory center fails, breathing and heartbeat are suppressed, the blood pressure drops almost in a straight line, various reflexes disappear, and there is no response to external stimuli. Eventually, it leads to paralysis of the vascular motor center and respiratory center and death.

Qin Lin explained this knowledge in words that everyone could understand, and finally came to the conclusion that this woman of unknown origin was the one who took off her clothes in the third stage, that is, during the inhibition period.

A few hours ago, the deceased came to the inaccessible Yuhuatai area for unknown reasons, she was cold and hungry, but she could not seek any help, she was frightened, panicked, and shouted hoarse in her throat but no one answered...... At last the cold temperature caused her body temperature to drop sharply, and at first she must have curled up as much as she could to keep herself warm, but the howling north wind took away more and more heat, and her mind became more and more dull, and her mind became more and more disconnected, and her consciousness became more and more blurred.

In the extreme cold, the body surface temperature and the anal temperature are close to or even equal, and her vague consciousness has a hallucination of fever, although her athletic ability has decreased a lot, and she has not completely frozen, she is "hot" uncomfortably, while taking off her clothes vigorously, throwing them down one by one, while stumbling through the woods.

She took off her clothes so that her heat dissipated faster, and finally at the edge of the woods, a cold wind blew, and she collapsed, never to get up again...... In addition, frozen corpses are generally in a natural state or curled form. Before the person freezes to death, the central nervous system is suppressed, the whole body is paralyzed, although the body temperature is gradually decreasing, the hypothalamus thermoregulatory center sends a wrong signal "abnormal heat sensation", and the person dies in the hazy warm feeling before freezing to death.

Therefore, most of the postures of the corpses are natural positions, and the expressions are very peaceful, which is consistent with the "smiling face" that the common people say about freezing to death.

After Qin Lin finished talking about this tragedy that happened on a winter night, everyone was silent for a long time, and no one doubted his judgment, because the story he told was so meticulous, and the old man kept nodding his head in agreement.

Xu Xinyi let out a long sigh, stepped forward and closed the deceased's half-open eyes, and said in a low voice: "At least this sister was calm and serene at the last moment." ”

"Awesome, awesome!" Bai Hao, the head catcher of Ying Tianfu, gave Qin Lin a thumbs up, and praised sincerely: "It's our old fritters who have been making fritters in the six doors for more than ten years, and compared with Chief Qin, we have been thrown a few streets away!" ”

Qin Lin smiled and thanked him: "Brother Bai praised, the case has come to this point, only the cause of death has been identified, and it is still far from the final solution, Qin Mou still does not dare to take credit." ”

So, now the question has come full circle and returned to square one: it is true that the woman of unknown origin froze to death in the woods next to Yuhuatai, and her death itself showed no signs of violence and crime, but why did she come here?

Because the possibility of a single woman running to such a desolate place by herself is too small, the question can also be changed to who brought her here, and left ruthlessly, abandoning this weak woman in the wild in the cold winter?

There is no doubt that such an act in itself is a crime, a serious crime!

The villagers intentionally or unintentionally set their eyes on Chang Yinxu - after all, he and the four generals are the most suspicious, and besides, the Lijia mutual insurance system is often very extensive, if the murderer can not be found, the neighboring villagers have to accompany the lawsuit, even if Chang Yinxu is the little marquis, if he can't do it, he should have a headache for Yin Wang Shizhen of Tianfu, and it has nothing to do with these villagers.

Chang Yinxu was one head and two big, pointing at the villagers and scolding: "Thieves and birds, eggs are in the woods, what do you do to see grandpa?" Come on, come on, the one with the biggest bulging eyes, let's go head-to-head! ”

As he spoke, he took off the nine-ring thick-backed chopping knife, rolled up his sleeves and tied the hem to fight, Wang Shizhen couldn't cry or laugh, and hurriedly asked the officials to stop the stupid overlord, and looked at Qin Lin for help.

Qin Lin smiled: "Let's determine the time of death first, and see if Master Chang Xiaohou has time to commit the crime!" Little Marquis, please tell me, when did you come to Yuhuatai, and who witnessed it? ”

Chang Yinxu stared at him stunned, snorting and panting, it seemed that he was really angry, and said loudly: "We are the Yuhuatai who just arrived at the time of the handover, and we want to ask for a witness, oh, the one who wears black clothes over there is an inn at the foot of the mountain, and I still drank a bowl of hot tea in his store at the end of the day!" ”

Hearing this, several villagers muttered in a low voice: "As a little marquis, I ran to the mountain with the cold wind blowing early in the morning to find the Yuhua Stone......

Qin Lin and Xu Xinyi don't think there's anything, what can't Chang Yinxu do? Maybe he dreamed last night that he would give Miss Gao a piece of Yuhuashi, and it was possible to run to Yuhuatai in the middle of the night.

Qin Lin asked the dog who found the body again: "Little brother, when did you go to Yuhuatai and when did you go down the mountain to report the news?" ”

The dog lowered his head and didn't dare to look at this big official, no matter what, he didn't speak, or his uncle, that is, the innkeeper Li Fu, who could testify for Chang Yinxu, answered for him:

"Back to the master's words, the villain's nephew is anxious to find Yuhua Stone to sell to those guests, the sky is bright, about the time is on the mountain, Chen Shichu panicked and ran down to report the news, we ran to the corpse again, it was Chen Shizheng, just bumped into Chang Xiaohou and they went down the mountain!"

In this way, in less than an hour, they found Yuhuashi and walked down the mountain?

Qin Lin asked without a trace: "Master Chang Xiaohou, so you found the Yuhua Stone for Miss Gao?" Congratulations! ”

Chang Yinxu didn't know that there was a deception, he smiled and took out a piece of Yuhua Stone with a red concentric pattern from his arms, put it in his palm, stretched his fist and showed it to Qin Lin, and quickly took it back, and said very proudly: "Ha, there are a lot of stones on Yuhuatai, but unfortunately there are too many on the ground, we found this one in less than half an hour!" ”

You, Qin Lin scolded secretly, it was a stone specially paved on Yuhuatai, when he met you, who had no public morality, he dug it out and took it away and had his face everywhere, but he didn't lie in terms of time.

Knowing the time when people arrived at the scene, Qin Lin began to examine the corpses and determine the time of death in order to investigate the criminals.

Only turned over the corpse, Qin Lin suddenly narrowed his eyes: yes, it's strange, why haven't the corpse stiff and corpse spots appeared yet? How long did she die?
