Chapter 71: The Corpse of the Woods

Luo Juyi nodded again and again, and hurriedly instructed Xiong Zhutou to send a few catchers to inquire about this matter and inquire separately.

They rode out of the city and headed straight for the grove where the body was found.

The scene where the body was found was in a small forest next to the official road not far out of the city, and the woods were relatively dense, and it was true that there was nothing in it from the official road.

At this moment, the scene has been arrested and surrounded by Minzhuang. There were already a lot of people watching the excitement on the official road and around the woods.

Lu Jinping walked forward for more than ten steps, and saw a female corpse lying under a tree, on a lawn. The corpse was lying on its side, its hands and feet curled, its eyes slightly open, its face and body were dirty, and its hair was messy and tangled, apparently unwashed for a long time.

The corpse's right leg was wrapped in a white bandage and clamped with two splints, blood soaked through gauze, and there was a large pool of blood underneath the calf. And there was a blood stain behind him that was about a foot long. It's hard to tell if it's the marks he left behind when he crawls, or if he's been dragged by someone.

Judging from the large pool of blood on the ground, the bleeding was large enough to take a person's life.

But whether this is the cause of death or not needs to be proved by autopsy. If there were other fatal injuries that resulted in death, the hemorrhage may have only been the cause of hastened death, and therefore, no final judgment can be drawn until an autopsy is made.

Lu Jinping surveyed the scene and found no other obvious suspicious traces.

Lu Jinping turned around and asked Luo Justice, who was standing not far away: "Did the few people who found the corpse say that they moved the corpse?" ”

Luo said: "No, they saw that it was a dead body, and they ran to report it to the official without moving the body." ”

Lu Jinping nodded and began to conduct a preliminary examination of the body.

There were abrasions on the forearms and palms of the corpse's hands, and the clothes on the two arms had abrasion marks, and they were cyan-colored.

Lu Jinping inspected other body parts and found no obvious injuries, so he focused his attention on the right leg wrapped in the body's bandage.

He untied the bandage and splint and found a fractured wound with a broken bone poked out, white and bloodstained.

The person who treated the wound was very sloppy, and did not even carry out the bone return butt, and directly used the splint to make a simple support and bandage treatment, because the wound was located at the larger blood vessel, and the wound was not treated to stop bleeding, so the blood flowed out continuously and could not stop on its own.

The deceased's face was pale, and there were no corpse spots in the lower part of his body. These confirm that the deceased most likely died of massive blood loss.

According to the stiffness of the corpse and the turbidity of the pupils, and the condition of the corpse, the preliminary general judgment was that the corpse should die within three days.

Lu Jinping carefully examined the deceased's broken leg.

Judging from the injury characteristics of the broken leg, it seems that it was broken by a blunt force blow from an external force, rather than a high fall from a high place, so that there is a possibility that a trace amount of the wound may be attached in the wound cavity. If such trace evidence can be found, the next step is to identify the causative substance, which will be of great help.

He observed the fracture of the leg and found that a piece of cortex in the calf had a certain degree of displacement and seemed to be forcefully torn apart.

Previously, he also complained that Lang Zhong, who was dealing with the wound, was really perfunctory, did not do a good job of bone grafting on the broken bones, and did not bandage the wound, especially did not stop the bleeding, so that the deceased bled too much and died, but now, he felt that he should be grateful to this Lang Zhong, because the wound was not debrided, so the contents of the wound were not washed away, and it was possible to find useful trace physical evidence.

Sure enough, he found a small red fragment in the torn and displaced skin layer, he lay on the ground and stared at it for a long time, and he couldn't determine what it peeled off, but this fragment definitely did not belong to the human body, nor did it fall off from the splint, and at the same time, it was covered by the torn and displaced skin on the inside of her skin, indicating that it may have fallen off and embedded under the skin at the moment of the violent impact of the injured object, so it is very likely that it came from the murder weapon.

He took out a small paper bag from the forensic examination box, carefully placed the small fragment in the bag with tweezers, and placed it in the forensic examination box.

Continuing to examine the wound, there were no other suspicious objects, so he decided to begin the autopsy.

Lu Jinping turned to Luo Juyi and said, "I need to conduct an autopsy here to confirm the final cause of death, do you have permission?" ”

As soon as he heard this, Xiong Zhutou, who was originally standing next to him, immediately had an embarrassed look on his face, took two steps back, and said, "I, I'll go outside to prevent someone from coming to make trouble, hehe." He laughed dryly twice, and fled out of the grove.

Luo Zheng had heard that Xiong Zhutou and Yamen had said that it was super disgusting to see Lu Jinping's autopsy before, so although he didn't witness it with his own eyes, he really didn't want to take this risk, and he didn't have this curiosity, so he hurriedly laughed twice and said, "Sir, Feng Tingshi has already said that you are in charge of the autopsy and assist in solving the case." Therefore, the autopsy is completely up to you and you do not need to report it to me. I, I'll wait outside, if there's anything you call me again. With that, he also got out of the grove in a panic.

Lu Jinping shrugged, and then began to untie the deceased's dress for a body examination. He found that his judgment was basically correct, the deceased's two palms, forearm and left leg knee had abrasions, in addition, he found that the deceased had a vertical strip of bruises on his left forearm, and at the same time, he also found a bruise on the inside of his right leg, which should be a blunt force injury.

How can similar blunt trauma occur at the same time in these two places that are relatively far apart? This made Lu Lu Jinping frown in confusion.

He extracted the deceased yin. A swab is used to check whether the deceased has been raped. At the same time, blood samples from various places at the scene and blood samples from the deceased were taken for corresponding testing and comparison.

He then proceeded to perform an autopsy. First the head of the deceased, then the chest and abdomen were dissected, and there were no obvious traumas and no obvious lesions. However, the autopsy showed that the blood vessels of the deceased were almost all shriveled, that is, most of the blood in the deceased's body had been drained.

It can be seen that the deceased died of hemorrhagic shock. The only wound on the body was an open wound on the right leg that was fractured.

Lu Jinping lamented that from the trauma caused by the deceased's lower leg fracture, it was not serious, and an ordinary surgeon could help her stop the bleeding and save her life, but unfortunately, the victim did not receive such care and lost her life due to excessive blood loss.

Lu Jinping asked the servant to record the results of the autopsy, and then walked out of the woods, called Luo Justice aside and whispered: "The deceased died because of excessive bleeding, and there was no other trauma." The deceased died three days ago. First of all, it is necessary to find out the identity of the deceased and her whereabouts three days ago, as well as the people who were in close contact with her. Judging from the scene, there were no other traces of fighting and murder at the scene, except for the bloodstained crawling marks that were more than a foot long, so I am inclined to suspect that this was the second scene. We need to find the first scene as much as possible to get more clues. ”

Luo Judicial nodded again and again, and while Lu Jinping explained, he told the bear catcher next to him to organize someone to investigate immediately according to Lord Lu's instructions.

After hearing Lu Jinping's explanation, Xiong Zhutou was still a little dazed, and said to Lu Jinping in a curtled manner: "Tongzhou City is so big, where should I go to investigate?" Is it from the missing person? ”

"Investigating missing people is not the only way, but there is an easier way, and that is to find out from beggars."

"Beggars?"

"Well, the dress on the deceased's body was dirty, and her hair seemed to have not been washed for a long time and was all knotted. The face and hands are dirty. So I suspect she's a beggar, or a wanderer. You'd better focus on these people in the city, and after you've painted the portraits of the dead, you can search among them. In addition, the corpse's right leg was bandaged and splinted, and I guess it should have been done in a pharmacy, so you should send someone to the medical centers and pharmacies in the city to check and see if there are any clues. ”

Luo Juyi hurriedly agreed and asked Xiong Zhutou to make arrangements.
