Cheng Ziqin said: "How else to test? Haven't you been looking at it all over and over again for a long time? ”

"I will carry the head and the body back to the yamen mortuary for careful examination. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"You've checked it carefully enough! What else to check? I don't agree, and if the body is unclaimed, it will be burned. ”

According to the regulations, the nameless corpse can be cremated, because the yamen did not pay the nameless corpse to buy a cemetery.

Yang Tashan said: "There are still many problems that have not been clarified, and they must be further investigated. ”

Cheng Ziqin pointed to the head and said: "This deceased has a deep wound on his forehead, it has been explained that he killed him, let's start an investigation to see whose family is missing, and then follow the vine to find clues, won't we be able to solve this case?" I don't think there's anything else wrong with this corpse. ”

Judging from ancient forensic classics such as Song Ci's "Record of Clearing Grievances", ancient autopsies were only limited to body surface examinations, or examinations of bones that had been ossified, and dissections were not allowed. So, from Cheng Ziqin's point of view, this is already careful enough, and she really can't think of anything else to check.

Of course, Yang Tashan knew this, but he still shook his head firmly: "Cheng Zhutou, if you ask me to further examine this corpse, I will be able to tell you more clues to the detection, and even tell you who the dead person is!" ”

Cheng Ziqin looked at Yang Tashan with some surprise, judging from the test just now, this young man does know a lot of things that he has never heard of, perhaps, he can really surprise himself and find more clues to detect. Cheng Ziqin was born in a family of fast arresters, and of course he knows the importance of clues to solving cases.

After thinking about it, Cheng Ziqin said: "Okay, transport it back for you to test, I hope you can find useful clues." After the inspection, you can directly let the person be cremated and the ashes can be kept. ”

At this time, the other catchers had already carefully searched the area around Pingtougou, and no other suspicious traces or physical evidence were found.

Cheng Ziqin instructed Chen Zuo to come and register the corpse, and when he was done, wrap the corpse and head in a white cloth to avoid contaminating other items, and then transport the corpse back to the Yamen mortuary on a flatbed truck.

Then, Cheng Ziqin and Yang Tashan came to the willow tree where the Han prefect was sitting and reported to the Han prefect.

After hearing this, Governor Han said: "The head is different, it is really very vicious, this murder case seems to be very tricky, and this government will not give you a limit, I just hope to solve the case as soon as possible." ”

The two were overjoyed and bowed in thanks. Cheng Ziqin and Yang Tashan, one of their fathers, once took the life of the Han Governor's Mansion, and the other once helped to recover the official seal of the Han Governor's Mansion, so for these two people, the Han Governor's Mansion couldn't be ruthless and too difficult.

Governor Han immediately got up and drove back to his house, and the matter of solving the case was handed over to the arresters.

Time is urgent, but it can't be wasted, Cheng Ziqin immediately made arrangements, the first step in this investigation is, of course, to find out the source of the body, find out who the deceased is, and see if you can find clues to solve the case. It's just that the corpse is not dressed in clothes, and there is no corresponding physical evidence left to identify, and the corpse is highly [***] unrecognizable, so it can only be widely cast, fortunately, Yang Tashan has preliminarily judged that the death of the deceased is estimated to be no less than four days and no more than eight days.

After discussing with Yang Tashan, Cheng Ziqin dispatched the arresters to search for the female surname who had disappeared within eight days in Qingyang Mansion and nearby villages, in order to find clues. Cheng Ziqin took the three team leaders in the Yamen Catch Fast Squad Room, waiting for Yang Tashan's inspection news.

Yang Tashan went home first with the forensic evidence investigation box, and put the two bottles of flies and maggots in his forensic room for breeding, and he had already set up one of the vacant rooms in his house as a forensic room, and only he had the key for forensic examination, and even Xing'er couldn't enter.

After the arrangement, Yang Tashan said hello to Xing'er, returned to the yamen with the box, and came to the mortuary.

The mortuary of the Yamen of the Governor of Qingyang Prefecture is a semi-basement structure. Most of the windows on the top let in light, and the lighting is still very good, and because the other half is underground, it is also relatively shady.

The mortuary is not big, and the ** female corpse that was separated from the body has been wrapped in a white cloth and transported to the mortuary, parked on a mortuary, and left.

Yang Tashan originally planned to rinse off the maggots on the corpse with clean water, but in the end he decided not to flush it with water, because the wound sometimes left the adhesion or broken remnants of the murder weapon, which is an important basis for judging the type of murder weapon. If it is rinsed with water, it is possible to flush out these trace physical evidence from the wound. So, he still used a probe to sweep away all these flies and maggots, and put them in a trash can and threw them away.

After cleaning the corpse of maggots, he dissected the skull and the corpse to fit together. Then you have to do a blood group test to see if the blood type of the head is the same as the blood type of the body, if the blood type is different, then it is certain that the head and the body are not the same person.

Since the head and the body were already [***], and the blood was of course [***] and contaminated, making it difficult to examine, Yang Tashan extracted a handful of hair from the skull and a handful of pubic hair from the body, and tested the blood type of the hair, and the results were the same blood type. Proof is the same entity.

Then, Yang Tashan conducted another body surface examination of the corpse, and after the examination, he stared at the **female corpse with a separate head and body and a height of [***], and he was a little hesitant to decide whether to conduct an autopsy.

This hesitation was only a flash of thought, and he had already decided, dissect!

He remembered that it was only after an autopsy that he dared to say that the true cause of death of the deceased had been ascertained, and that the autopsy could overturn many established judgments about the cause of death. Autopsy is irreplaceable by other means of examination, and it is also the most important basis for determining the cause of death.

Although he couldn't remember who told him this, the concept had always been seared in his mind. What's more, the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, and the concept of fear does not seem to exist in his memory.

He decided to dissect the head first, as the fatal wound was in the head.

Yang Tashan opened the forensic evidence investigation box, took out a scalpel, and made an arc incision from the back of one side of the skull through the top of the skull to the back of the other ear, and turned the scalp forward and backward.

After the cranium was exposed, he carefully examined the wound in the left temporal region with a magnifying glass, first at the broken scalp.

Under the magnifying glass, a small number of coarse particles at the wound caught his attention, and after carefully extracting them with tweezers, he placed them under the microscope to observe, and determined that it was bluestone slate fragments!

Could it be that when the body was dragged by wild dogs, the wound adhered to the rock fragments on the ground?

As soon as the idea flashed through his mind, it was immediately dismissed. He clearly remembered that the site of the body was a meadow, and there was only dirt on the dirt floor, and there was no such bluestone slate fragments.

Yang Tashan continued to observe the crushed and depressed fracture area of the temporal bone with a magnifying glass, and found that there was also this kind of fragment in the fracture area! Yang Tashan decided to open the skull to see if there was such a gravel in the corresponding medial part of the skull, and if so, it could basically be judged that it was left by the murder weapon hitting the skull.

He took out the toothed bone and sawed the inner and outer plates of the skull in a circumferential shape along the front and back, removed the skull, and found a few more identical rock particles in the corresponding part of the trauma outside the dura. When the dura mater was cut open, it was found that part of the brain tissue had been defected, and such particles were also found in the defect site.

After a cranial autopsy, Yang Tashan judged that the murder weapon that caused the fatal wound of the deceased was a long strip of angular bluestone.

The cause of death can be that the murderer struck to death with a bluestone block, or he could die by hitting the edges and corners of the bluestone slab, or of course, he could accidentally fall down and hit the edges and corners of the bluestone slab, resulting in accidental death.

Since suicide, homicide, and accidents can occur with such injuries in this part of the temporal region, it is difficult to determine the nature of death at present. However, because the corpse was obviously transferred to Pingtougou, and Pingtougou did not have such a bluestone block, the possibility of suicide or accident is not very large, because suicide and accidental death are unlikely to carry out the removal of the body, especially if it is thrown in the wild, which is even more unreasonable. From this point of view, it is possible that he killed a large surname.

Yang then dissected the skull, removed the brain tissue for incision, and examined the base of the skull, and found no abnormalities.

He then performed an autopsy on the body, and the chest and abdomen were normal, with no obvious lesions or traumatic damage. However, when he opened his abdominal cavity, he was stunned to see a large amount of blood-like fluid in his abdominal cavity, about one or two thousand milliliters.

Yang Tashan's expression suddenly became solemn, if these effusions in the abdominal cavity were blood, and the amount of bleeding was so large, it would be enough to cause the woman to die of blood loss and shock. Such a large amount of blood indicates that it is a prenatal wound, because it is possible to squeeze a large amount of blood out of the damage only when the heart is still beating.

In this case, at least the wound should have occurred before or at the same time as the fatal wound on the forehead, and whether it was before or at the same time, it is necessary to find the location of the bleeding, and judge according to the amount and speed of the bleeding.

Before doing the job, though, he had to do a test of the blood in his abdomen to see if it was blood.

Yang Tashan extracted the fluid sample and carried out a heme chloride crystal test, and the microscopic examination showed brown diamond-shaped crystals with the surname Yang, indicating that this was blood. At the same time, microscopic examination also unexpectedly revealed flat epithelial cells, fetal hair, and cholesterol crystals, suggesting the presence of amniotic fluid.

Was this woman pregnant when she died? Uterine breakage, amniotic fluid overflow, with blood into the abdominal cavity, excessive blood loss complicated by severe peritonitis? If so, the cause of death would be complicated.
