Liu Ruobing grabbed Yang Qiuchi and dismounted, and the two rushed to the temple.

The mountain gate was closed, and Yang Qiuchi was about to call the door, Liu Ruobing had already struck the mountain gate with one palm, and with a bang, the dust and smoke dispersed, and the two mountain doors had been shaken open by her palm.

This Liu Ruobing likes to use force in everything, and in her mind, force is the best way to solve problems. Perhaps, this is the so-called power politics.

In the courtyard, I saw that a few little monks were cleaning the courtyard, and when I saw Yang Qiuchi hurriedly coming in as a magistrate's official uniform, he hurriedly bowed and bowed.

Yang Qiuchi and Liu Ruobing rushed directly into the main hall, the temple host was putting sesame oil on the incense lamp on the incense table, and when he saw Yang Qiuchi in official uniform, he also hurriedly joined Shi, and was about to speak, Yang Qiuchi had already preemptively said: "I am Yang Qiuchi, the new magistrate of this county, where is Wang Dianshi's coffin stored?" Take us there. ”

Seeing that Yang Qiuchi was very anxious, the host didn't dare to say more, and hurriedly led Yang Qiuchi and the others to a room at the back of the temple. Inside, there were several long benches, on which stood two black and eerie coffins.

Without waiting for Yang Qiuchi's command, Liu Ruobing had already jumped on the bench, grabbed the coffin lid with one hand, held the coffin with the other, and shouted: "Get up!" ”

In a series of crunching voices, the coffin lid that had been firmly nailed by the coffin nails rose in response, and several long coffin nails stretched out under the coffin lid, like the fangs of a beast that had escaped from the underworld.

A rotting stench rushed up, Liu Ruobing grabbed the coffin lid with both hands and flew out, landing lightly on the ground, avoiding the stench in time. Then the coffin lid was gently erected and placed aside.

Yang Qiuchi looked at the tablet in front of the coffin, and in this coffin was Wang Dianshi's concubine. Ignoring the stench, he jumped on the bench and looked into the coffin, where there was a large red quilt on top, and he carefully grabbed the corner of the quilt and slowly uncovered it, revealing the bones below.

The skeleton was dressed in a women's dress, and the body was not visible, but the head and face had been charred and unrecognizable, and the hair was already burned. Although it was less than half a year before death, because it was not buried in the soil, the [***] of the corpse in the air was very fast, and even though it was winter, it only slowed down the [***] of the corpse, and the corpse had already entered the late stage of the corpse [***], and it was close to white ossification.

The skin of the head and face has been completely carbonized, and most of the skin has become highly [***], the eye sockets, nostrils, and teeth are exposed, and they have become half a skull. A puddle of viscous black-gray semi-flowing liquid accumulates on the big red pad sheet under the head, which is commonly known as "corpse water", which is decomposed and liquefied by the deep soft muscle tissue of the head.

Yang Qiuchi noticed that the female corpse had a tooth that was golden, as if it was a golden tooth. It's a little strange, did the people of the Ming Dynasty know about the inlaid gold teeth? In fact, denture restoration is one of China's great inventions of stomatology in the world. In the Song Dynasty, there were specialized dental fillers.

Liu Ruobing also jumped on the bench at this time and stood beside Yang Qiuchi.

Yang Qiuchi didn't bring her own special gloves, and she was embarrassed to use Liu Ruobing's short sword to cut open her clothes, if her short sword was stuck with a little bit of this terrifying corpse water, for a woman like her who loved cleanliness and even had some cleanliness, this short sword would definitely be thrown away. Such a good sword, she is reluctant to give up Yang Qiuchi.

Yang Qiuchi instructed the temple host to quickly find a large pair of scissors and a small knife.

When the host saw Yang Qiuchi and they opened the coffin, he wanted to stop it, but it was the county lord who was handling the case, how could he have the courage to interfere, and when he heard Yang Qiuchi's instructions, he quickly agreed and ran out.

Before the knife was brought, in order to be in a hurry, Yang Qiuchi had no choice but to do it himself, carefully unbuttoned his dress, and slowly untied the clothes, revealing the bones inside.

The corpse has been carbonized and highly [***], leaving only some hanging soft tissue, white bones. Underneath was some semi-flowing fluid, and the sheets under the body had been soaked with corpse water.

The scissors and knives were brought, and Yang Qiuchi used scissors to carefully cut all the clothes on the female corpse's chest, so that the entire upper body of the female corpse was exposed.

Yang Qiuchi used a knife to cut the skin of his throat, in fact, it was inaccurate to cut it with a knife, because the corpse was already highly [***], and the soft tissues had been liquefied, just like boiled red meat, he was actually using a knife to separate these soft rotten meat.

He only glanced at it, sighed, and carefully scraped the rotten flesh of his sternum and ribs with the back of his knife, revealing the bones, through which he could see that the lungs in his chest had rotted and collapsed.

Liu Ruobing asked, "What are you doing?" ”

If Song Yun'er asked like this, Yang Qiuchi would definitely be too lazy to answer, and he wouldn't have time to answer, but now he is asking Liu Ruobing, who is the woman he has hurt and can't stay alone with her for the rest of his life, and she is the person who makes Yang Qiuchi feel very guilty but has no choice.

So Yang Qiuchi replied: "The death row prisoner Yun was stunned and said that the female corpse was already stiff at that time, and it was winter, and the zombie would appear relatively late (note: the zombie is not the corpse freezing, the cause of the two is different), and in this case, the corpse will appear at least two hours. According to Yun Xuan's description, the zombie has developed to the whole body, indicating that the deceased has been dead for at least six hours (i.e., more than 12 hours)! Therefore, I suspect that when Yun was stunned and entered the inner office, this woman had already been dead for a long time, and I am now sure that this is not the case. ”

Liu Ruobing glanced at Yang Qiuchi and asked, "How can you be sure that it's been so long?" ”

"That's the trouble. It was supposed to be determined from the comparison between the time of death and the time of the fire, but it had been several months, and the corpses were almost rotten, and it was impossible to accurately determine the time of death, so I wanted to check to see if it was cremated after death. ”

Liu Ruobing frowned: "If it was killed by Yun Xuan, this woman was also burned after she died, is there any difference?" ”

"There is a clear difference between the cremation of a corpse immediately after killing and the cremation of a corpse half a day after death." Due to the urgency of time, Yang Qiuchi didn't have time to elaborate, so he only picked up the important ones and told her:

"I heard Mr. Zhao say that Wang Dianshi's concubine Aunt Zhao was only stabbed twice in the stomach at the time, so it is judged that she may have been in a shock coma at that time and was still in the dying period, if so, then there was still weak breathing. Therefore, it is possible to inhale soot and charcoal dust into the throat, trachea or even bronchi, and it can be seen when it is opened, and there will also be some symptoms of fever-like respiratory syndrome such as diphtheria pseudomembrane and blisters. In addition, the blood can also be inhaled by inhaling large amounts of carbon monoxide,...... No, toxic gases...... and cherry red. Pulmonary congestion, edema, etc., and blood ematoma will occur in the dura mater of the head. ”

Yang Qiuchi concluded: "If the deceased has been dead for more than six hours, then these symptoms will not appear. In other words, if I don't find the symptoms mentioned above from the deceased, I can reverse the inference that the deceased has died a long time ago, and I can prove that it was not killed by Yun Su. ”

"I didn't think you knew so much in addition to being poor." Liu Ruobing smiled slightly. She couldn't understand many words Yang Qiuchi said, but she at least understood Yang Qiuchi's important surname for the inspection, and asked, "Have you checked it out?" ”

Yang Qiuchi sighed: "The corpses are almost rotten, how can I check?" "However, if you really want to check, you can still find out, but it will take time and corresponding laboratory equipment.

"What then?" Liu Ruobing's cold face finally showed a trace of anxiety that was difficult to see.

She was anxious about my affairs, and Yang Qiuchi felt a warm current.

Liu Ruobing looked at the corpse of the girl in the coffin carefully, and sighed: "If her hands and feet were not dislocated by the wrong hands, but only the stomach was stabbed twice, she should be able to escape." ”

Wrong hands? Hehe, why does it sound so familiar, I often see it in martial arts novels, and I was about to jump off, and suddenly stood up again - the muscles and bones are wrong? Wrong! Yang Qiuchi lowered his head and looked at the female corpse in the coffin, and asked, "Sister Liu, are you sure that she was hit by the wrong hand?" As soon as he asked these words, he was laughing in his heart, a master like Liu Ruobing can't see it, who else can see it?

Liu Ruobing didn't care about being underestimated, and said honestly: "Of course, just look at the posture of her hands and feet." ”

Yang Qiuchi raised his head and touched his chin: "This is strange, Yun Xuan used a knife to kill this concubine of Wang Dianshi, can't he just stab him with a knife, what else do you do with your wrong hands?" Is it fun to torture her? No, he was in danger and didn't have the time to play any of this—it didn't make sense! Could it be that Yun Shu was really wronged? ”

Liu Ruobing said: "Let's take a look at another body!" Without waiting for Yang Qiuchi's instructions, she gently jumped onto another bench that cushioned the coffin, and opened the coffin lid as she did.

Yang Qiuchi jumped on the bench, looked down, stretched out his hand and gently uncovered the red cover above, revealing the bones below, just glanced at it, Yang Qiuchi's face was full of disappointment, this corpse was almost [***], and most of the skulls were revealed.

Despite his disappointment, Yang Qiuchi decided to take a closer look, this was the last hope. He used scissors to carefully cut Wang Dianshi's entire robe, and carefully inspected it from top to bottom.

Sure enough, Wang Dianshi had multiple wounds on his body, although most of his skin had rotted, several ribs and sternums that had been punctured, and the knife marks on the bones that had been revealed were enough to prove it.

The corpse was so decomposed that it was impossible to tell with the naked eye whether it had been cremated twelve hours after death. Yang Qiuchi touched his chin and stared at the coffin, thinking about whether to stop the execution and carry the body back for careful testing and study.

Liu Ruobing was a little clean, and after the rancid smell dissipated, he jumped on the wooden bench, stood beside Yang Qiuchi, looked into the coffin, and quickly turned his head, his cheeks were slightly red, and he said angrily: "Why did you give his clothes to ......?"

Yang Qiuchi looked at Liu Ruobing, and then at the male corpse in the coffin, and then he reacted, and cut all the clothes and pants of the male corpse all over his body, although most of them were rotten, but the general situation of the man's hidden parts could still be seen, smiled, and leaned over to get the red cover on one side of the coffin to cover the corpse.

At this moment, Yang Qiuchi sighed, he saw the leg bones exposed by the decay of the corpse, and the leg bones of Bai Sensen, who still had some [***] soft tissues hanging from it, took a knife, carefully scraped the soft tissues on the leg bones, looked at it carefully, scraped the other leg clean with a knife, and looked at it again.

Suddenly, Yang Qiuchi's whole body was shocked, and he said in a deep voice: "It's not right! The person who died is not Wang Dianshi! ”
