Song Yun'er thought this was incredible, and asked again, "Brother, is this person really drowned?" ”

"To solve this problem, we must first solve a problem, can such a small puddle drown people?"

"Of course, you can restrain him, grab his head and press him into the water, and he will drown in a while." Song Yun'er has first-class martial arts, so of course she sees this kind of thing very easily.

Yang Qiuchi smiled: "Then this person must be as powerful as you - I guess I can't find it in this world." ”

"De surname~!" Song Yun'er tilted her head and said proudly.

"Hehe, otherwise, this person must have significantly greater strength than the deceased, otherwise, if two people have no martial arts and have similar physical strength, it is almost impossible to press a person into a small puddle and drown."

"That's right." Song Yun'er nodded. Pointing to the messy hair on the back of the deceased's head, "I think his hair looks like he has been caught, maybe he was caught and pressed into the water and drowned." ”

Yang Qiuchi said: "So, do you think the deceased was drowned?" ”

Song Yun'er grinned: "I'm not sure, I guessed based on what you said." ”

"Always follow my words to guess, what's the point, this time you judge for yourself according to your own thinking, I'll tell you if it's wrong."

"Hmmm! All right. Song Yun'er squatted down, carefully examined the corpse again, and said to herself: "The deceased has no obvious sharp and blunt injuries on his body, so he was not beaten to death or stabbed to death with a knife, he is relatively well dressed, there are no obvious signs of fighting, and there are no scratches and kicks on the ground, so it is unlikely that he was pressed into a puddle and drowned." ”

When Song Yun'er said this, she raised her eyes and looked at Yang Qiuchi, seeing the approving look in his eyes, she felt a little more confident in her heart, and then said: "Brother said just now, there is a half chance that people who drown will not have mushroom-like foam. According to the words of the elder brother, it can be understood in this way: if there is a mushroom-like foam, it is likely that he drowned, but if it does not appear, drowning cannot be ruled out as a matter of course, so it is very likely that he drowned. ”

Speaking of this, Song Yun'er felt that it was wrong again, she just said that he was not drowned, why did she say it later, smiled awkwardly, looked up at Yang Qiuchi, and saw that he didn't mean to laugh at himself, but he didn't speak.

Song Yun'er was a little relieved in her heart, thought about it, and her eyes lit up: "That's right!" He drowned, but not by someone pressed into the water and drowned, but when he was drunk or suddenly fell ill, he fainted and drowned in a puddle! Song Yun'er jumped up, smiled at Yang Qiuchi and said, "Brother, is Yun'er right?" ”

Yang Qiuchi nodded approvingly: "Your analysis is very good, and it is also very reasonable, and this possibility also exists." ”

Song Yun'er was very proud, and then remembered one more thing: "By the way, in addition to being drunk and sick, there is another possibility, that is, poisoning, he was highly poisoned...... No, if you are poisoned, you will be poisoned, not drowned, you may have been poisoned by [***] medicine and drowned in a coma. Right? ”

Yang Qiuchi nodded: "It's completely possible." However, you just mentioned three possibilities - drunkenness, sudden illness, and [***] medicine. So which one is it? ”

Song Yun'er scratched her head and smiled: "This ...... I don't know. ”

Yang Qiuchi praised: "It is not easy for you to analyze this step. He squatted down, pointed to the face of the deceased, and said, "This man should not have drowned, because his face did not show symptoms of suffocation." ”

"Symptoms of death by suffocation? What is suffocation? ”

Yang Qiuchi made a neck choking action: "Suffocation is simply an external force that causes you to be unable to breathe and die. In most cases, drowning can also lead to suffocation and death, so there will also be general symptoms of asphyxia, such as facial bruising, bleeding spots on facial skin, eyeballs, palpebral conjunctival vault, inner surface of lip mucosa, gingival mucosa, etc. ”

Song Yun'er looked at the deceased's face carefully and said, "It seems that this person has no bleeding spots." ”

"So, preliminary judgment, this person does not look like he was drowned."

"Then it's strange, how did this man die?" At this moment, even Song Yun'er herself was confused.

Yang Qiuchi shook his head: "Based on the current situation, it is difficult for me to make a judgment. ”

"Why?" Song Yun'er was anxious. She had been with Yang Qiuchi for so long, and she hadn't heard him say anything he couldn't even determine, which made her feel very surprised.

The reason why Yang Qiuchi can't judge is actually very simple, like this kind of unknown cause of death, only through pathological autopsy, can find out the real cause of death (of course, it is not absolute, according to statistics, about ten percent of the corpses with unknown cause of death can not be found after autopsy, because some death mechanisms we can't recognize now), and the Ming Dynasty can't carry out autopsy, and Yang Qiuchi's eyes are not X-ray can see through the corpse, so he can't help it.

Based on past experience, Peng Si is most likely to die of sudden death - because of his underlying cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases or dysfunctions. Of course, it is also possible that sudden death is caused by internal pathological mutations induced by trauma, which does not need to be severe, such as intracranial aneurysm, even if it is just the patient's cough, which can lead to rupture and intracranial hemorrhage and eventually death.

If it is a disease death, it is a natural death. But this is just a speculation by Yang Qiuchi. In the case that an autopsy is not possible, the only way to do so is to investigate and visit the deceased to see if there are any symptoms that can lead to sudden death.

However, the reason why this cannot be judged is unclear because it involves too much modern medical knowledge.

Yang Qiuchi smiled bitterly: "This person died very strangely, the hair on the back of his head was obviously grabbed and pulled, as if he was pressed into the water and drowned, but there was no trace of fighting, and there was no symptom of drowning, let alone the symptoms of poisoning and death." It is strange that he wore the silk trousers of a rich man on the lower body, but on the upper body he wore a coolie short coat, and he died in the middle of the night on the dock by the river, and it is not clear how he died. ”

Song Yun'er saw that Yang Qiuchi was all right, but she was a little anxious: "What should I do then?" ”

Yang Qiuchi squatted down and looked carefully at the footprints next to the corpse, took out a soft ruler from his arms and measured the size of the footprints, thought about it, and then pointed to a few relatively small footprints on the edge of the puddle, and said to Song Yun'er: "Have you noticed?" There were some scattered footprints next to the corpse, and those large shoe prints may have been left by the person who found the corpse, but those smaller shoe prints were very strange, and they should be children's footprints from the appearance. ”

Song Yun'er squatted down and took a closer look: "That's it, it's a child's shoe print, so there's nothing strange about it, maybe the child ran over to see the excitement." ”

Yang Qiuchi shook his head: "No, I measured it just now, judging from this shoe print, this child may only be fourteen or fifteen years old, have you noticed, these shoe prints are next to the body of the corpse, even if a fourteen or fifteen-year-old child is very bold, run to the front to see the excitement, will he keep running next to the corpse to see?" Isn't he afraid that the dead man will reach out and take him? Hehe. ”

Song Yun'er glared at Yang Qiuchi: "I know it's scary!" After thinking about it, he nodded, "That's right, children want to watch the excitement, and they won't run to the corpse to watch, it's very good a few steps away." ”

"Hmmm! These children's shoe prints are suspicious, and if the deceased died from homicide, and the child is the murderer, it would be understandable. But...... Now it doesn't look like he killed ......, in short, this is a clue, and we will pay attention to it in the later investigation. ”

"Investigation?" Song Yun'er asked curiously, "What are you investigating?" ”

Yang Qiuchi said: "Investigate and visit, see what you find." [***]…… Ahem, there is a sage who once said that without investigation, there is no right to speak, so you must investigate before you can figure it out. ”

"Huh? Which sage said that? How I haven't heard of it. Song Yun'er's eyes widened.

"So you have to read more!" Yang Qiuchi said with a smile.

"Hmph~! It's like how many books you've read. Forget it, don't bother to ask you. Song Yun'er's eyes rolled: "Shall I help you investigate?" "What girls love most is to ask questions.

"Okay!" Yang Qiuchi smiled and looked her up and down, "You are a girl, you look so well-behaved, before you ask, people will come to you with a mouthful." Hey, hey, hey. ”

Song Yun'er glanced at Yang Qiuchi and said angrily: "Make others happy!" Come on, how do I investigate, what do I investigate? ”

Yang Qiuchi has a big head, he doesn't know this, and he said that he wants to help himself. Then he said patiently: "You first ask the person who found the corpse, and see the process of finding the corpse." I need to investigate later, and I'll call you again. ”

"Okay!" Song Yun'er walked up to the few people who had been waiting not far away to find the corpse, and asked with a very capable look, "Who are you who first discovered this corpse?" ”

A coolie-looking man nodded to Song Yun'er.

Song Yun'er looked him up and down: "You were the first to find the deceased?" ”

The man quickly nodded again.

"What's your name? What and where to stay? Song Yun'er asked very calmly.

"I ...... My name is Zhao Xuan, and I am a dock porter at Mr. Peng's house, and I live in a shed on the dock. ”

"Was the body of the deceased in this location when you found him?"

The other party nodded, then shook his head again, and then timidly looked at Peng Hexi, who was standing a few steps away.

Song Yun'er caught this detail, smiled meaningfully, and asked, "How did you find the body?" Tell me about it. ”
