Chapter 31 Post-mortem Dao Law

Lu Jinping patted him on the shoulder very righteously and said, "It's okay, our brothers, I'll help you investigate this case." To tell you the truth, I learned from a wandering Taoist in terms of autopsy, and I am good at some methods used to solve crimes, otherwise, I would not have seen at a glance that he was strangled to death, and he was not drunk to death. This ability is not something that ordinary people have. The previous work cleaned the corpse and changed the shroud, but I didn't find anything strange, only I found it. If I hadn't had this ability, I wouldn't have said that to Justice Luo just now. ”

Although Lu Jinping is the youngest sesame official, he is also an official in the end, compared with Xiong Zhutou, who is not even an official, there is a chasm, not to mention that he is still the baron of the founding county, which is even more extraordinary. The lord was able to call him a brother and a brother, which made Xiong Zhutou quite flattered, and he hurriedly bowed his waist and changed his smile and said: "It is really a blessing for the villain to have the help of the lord, and the villain's heart is much more down-to-earth." ”

Although he said so, the expression on his face was very far-fetched, and people knew that these words were very insincere.

Seeing him like this, Lu Jinping knew that he actually had no confidence in himself, and said: "It seems that you don't believe that I can help you, so I don't bother to care, I was just polite to Luo Judicial just now." I went to sleep, tired from the day, drowsy to death......"

Let's say, Lu Jinping turned around and left with a flick of the sleeves of his robe.

Only then did Xiong Zhutou come back to his senses and hurriedly shouted, "Sir, wait! Ran over and stopped Lu Jinping and said, with a smile and said, "The lord is willing to help me solve the case, I can't ask for it, I just thought of being beaten by the board, so I was a little distracted." Please ask Lord Lu to help me, not only to avoid being beaten, but also, since someone has been murdered, as the head catcher, if I can't arrest the real culprit and uphold justice, then what qualifications do I have to wear this set of tiger skins? ”

The last few words were also sonorous and powerful, Lu Jinping couldn't help but nod, smiled and said: "That's right, this is like a headcatcher." Okay, let's get to work. ――How are you going to start solving it? ”

Xiong Zhutou thought for a while and said: "Arrest all the people who were with the deceased Pang Yan that day and ask them to see who is suspected, and then torture them, maybe you can solve the case." ”

This method is a common method for solving cases in ancient China, Lu Jinping couldn't help but shake his head and said with a wry smile: "Of course, this method may be possible for a blind cat to meet a dead mouse and catch the real murderer, but the biggest possibility is to be beaten into a trick, and the real murderer will get away with it, and let the innocent suffer wrongs." ”

Xiong Zhutou smiled bitterly and said: "In addition to this method, I really can't think of anything else, please advise." ”

Lu Jinping said: "At the beginning of the investigation, we must first determine the possible scope of the suspect, then investigate the suspect according to the clues found, delineate several important suspects to carry out further in-depth investigation, collect evidence, and finally lock down the key suspects until the real culprit is caught." This is the whole idea of solving the case. Of course, it is necessary to determine the cause of death and the time of death first, and if we can determine it more accurately, it will be of great help to us to solve the case. ”

Xiong Zhutou said: "The cause of death The lord said before that he was strangled to death, and we also saw it just now, and there are indeed strangulation marks, which proves that he was strangled to death." As for the time of death, I can't estimate this ....... Speaking of this, he turned his head to look at the few yamen standing next to him and said, "Do you know how to calculate when the deceased will be killed?" ”

A few of them shook their heads and said, "Lord Catcher, we will dig a pit to bury people, and it's okay to collect corpses for people, this, ...... solving the case, we won't, hehe." ”

In ancient times, the post-mortem work of the yamen mainly began in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and the previous post-mortem examinations were some empirical things, and most of them would only collect the corpses and not understand the autopsy. During the Song Dynasty, the forensic pioneer Song Ci compiled the autopsy monograph "Records of Grievances" based on the experience of some experienced Yamen post-mortem examiners, and only then did he start the normative post-mortem work, and it developed to the Ming Dynasty before it became the authoritative basis for the Yamen post-mortem examination. Before that, there was no more difference between the yamen and the ordinary coffin shop to collect the corpse.

The Yamen of the Tang Dynasty could at most see whether the corpse had any scars on the surface and other things that could be seen with the naked eye, because ordinary people did not dare or were unwilling to do these things, and they could not do it, so they were done by the puppet. It would be difficult to further ask for specialized issues that require a wealth of forensic knowledge, such as estimating the time of death based on the phenomenon of corpses and determining the cause of death.

Lu Jinping patted Xiong Zhutou's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I said it, I learned how to perform an autopsy with a wandering Taoist, which is a special Taoism." Our own brother, I can't bear to see you on the board, I can use what I have learned to help you. ”

There are many kinds of Taoist Taoism, in addition to the common ghost catching, demon hunting, exorcism, as well as healing, alchemy, beauty, and even room surgery, etc., to name a few, all-encompassing, therefore, it is not surprising that there is an extra Taoist method dedicated to solving cases. It's just that this Dao method was mastered by a lord, which made Xiong Zhutou feel a little surprised, and after thanking him, he asked tentatively: "Sir, do you really know such a method?" ”

"Will it be, try it and find out." Lu Jinping walked to the corpse and stood and looked at it, then turned back to Xiong Zhutou and said, "It's just that the deceased has been dead for several days, and it is very difficult to lock the time of death to a certain hour now." However, we can use the method of investigation to determine the more accurate time of his death, which is often more accurate than the phenomenon of corpses alone. To put it simply, we only need to verify that the last person who saw him and the first person who found his body is the time of his death. If the interval between these two times is very short, the accuracy rate is very high. ”

"What's the use of us determining the time of his death?" ”

Lu Jinping sweated profusely, if a headcatcher doesn't know what the use of determining the time of death is, then the detection ability of this headcatcher is indeed worrying. However, it is no wonder that the ancient detection technology is very backward, and it is not uncommon not to know.

Lu Jinping had to patiently explain for him: "If the time of death is determined, we can investigate the suspect's activities during this time, exclude those who have clear evidence to prove that they were not at the scene during this time, and the rest will be listed as suspects for investigation one by one." Therefore, determining the accurate time of death is an important way to eliminate the suspect and the basis for locking the murderer. Do you understand? ”

Xiong Zhutou nodded as if he didn't understand, thought about it, and asked, "Then, what is the use of determining the cause of death?" ”

Although Xiong Zhutou looked studious, Lu Jinping still had the urge to kick over. For this kind of stupid head catcher, there is really a feeling that the mud can't support the wall. Lu Jinping patiently explained: "The cause of death is to find out what methods or means the murderer used to cause the death of the deceased, and the methods and means of killing, especially some of the details, must be kept absolutely confidential, because this is an important basis for asking confessions for comparison after the key suspects are determined in the future." If the suspect can tell the method of killing the deceased, especially some details, then his confession is very credible, and it proves that he is likely to be the murderer. Provided, of course, that there is no possibility of inducing a confession or that the suspect learned these details from other sources. Therefore, accurate killing methods and details are important methods for identifying crimes and locking down the murderer. Especially in the case of first confession and then evidence, it is more probative. Do you understand. ”

"Confess before you testify?"

"That is, the defendant first confessed the means and details of the killing, and then we found the corresponding physical evidence according to his confession, such as finding a knife or something, or the autopsy results are consistent with what he said, which is called confession before evidence."
