Chapter 457 [Examination of the Smallpox Corpse]
After the Jinyi Guards lined up at the south gate, the Demon Sect's attempt to break through the south gate by taking advantage of the chaos was shattered, although Duan Fei didn't know why they did this for the time being, if it was just to spread the virus, wouldn't it be better to secretly ask someone to bring some diseases out?
"It's hateful, my perfect plan turned out to be in Duan Fei's hands, now I have to go and line up to see what new gadgets Duan Fei has brought, and then improvise." Shao Jiayu, the great protector of Xuantian, turned into a shabby old talent, and he followed the people in the direction of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda.
After the power of the South Gate was resolved, Xia Zhishang galloped over and said to Duan Fei: "Lord Duan, thanks to your great power to disperse the people, but so many people flocked to the Ma family's compound, I am afraid that the situation over there is worrying." ”
Duan Fei said: "Lord Xia, please rest assured, Lord Qian is experienced, and there are two thousand guards of the Divine Machine Battalion, so he should be safe for a while, and now the timely treatment of the pathogen is the most important thing, I don't know where Lord Xia knows where the acne patient was first discovered?" ”
Xia Zhishang replied: "At the intersection in front of the Nianci Nunnery in the west of the city, I heard that the corpse is still there, and I have sent a servant to deal with it, and burn it as soon as possible, hoping not to infect others." ”
Duan Fei hurriedly said: "If you are not busy burning, the incubation period of the pox virus is half a month, that is to say, the patient has been infected for more than ten days before the outbreak of pox, during this time, he doesn't know how many people have been infected, and now it is too late to burn the corpse, has Lord Xia planted human pox before?" If you haven't planted it, it's better to go to the Ma family compound as soon as possible to plant new pox seeds, as well as other officials in Shaanxi Province and Xi'an Prefecture, all of them can be planted to ensure safety, this official has to go to Nianci'an to check the body at the scene, if Lord Xia can help me find witnesses at the scene, it would be great. ”
Xia Zhishang said: "Xiaguan will send someone to find it, Ling Chen, you have had human pox before, you can take Master Duan to Nianci'an." ”
The messenger named Ling Chen agreed, and he was going to lead the way, Duan Fei thought about it for a while, and said to Jiao Yang: "Jiao Yang, you take 2,500 brothers back to Qinchaxingyuan, calm the scene, and you must not let the scene get out of control again, this official took 500 people to the scene of the crime to see enough, those people have seen this official's archery skills, and they don't dare to provoke me." ”
Jiao Yang frowned, and was about to say that someone else would lead the troops over, Duan Fei's face sank, and he shouted, "This is an order!" You rushed through the south gate with the official, and the people knew you, and it didn't make such a big difference to change someone, so why don't you go quickly! ”
"Yes! Obedience! Jiao Yang gritted his teeth and waved his hand: "Leave five hundred guards, and the others will follow me!" Those who stay behind must protect the adults, if the adults lose a single hair, I will not be able to spare you when I come back! ”
The remaining Jinyi guards agreed in unison, Yang Sen showed his slingshot, patted the short knife on his waist, and said with a smile: "Jiao Yang, don't worry, with me, no one can hurt adults!" ”
Jiao Yang didn't have time to pay attention to him, so he went with someone hulala, Xia Zhishang also followed, Duan Fei took Shi Bin, Ruan Xiangshu and others, and five hundred brocade guards, and followed Ling Chen to the west of the city.
Nian Ci Nunnery is a nunnery, located in the west of the city Huaiyuan Fang, here is located in the south of the West City, according to Ling Chen, the incense of Nian Ci Nunnery is usually good, since the large influx of refugees into Xi'an, Nian Ci Nunnery set up a soup kitchen shop in front of the nunnery, so there are countless people who gather in front of the nunnery every day, no one expected that there would suddenly be a person who died of acne at the intersection, and then it was fried.
When Duan Fei and the people came to Nianci'an, it was already empty, with only garbage and a few wild dogs roaming the streets.
A 'thing' lying in the middle of the street caught Duan Fei's attention, the thing was covered by a broken straw mat, and two wooden strips were exposed at each end of the long strip, Duan Fei dismounted when he was still more than ten meters away from the 'thing', and he ordered: "The others are waiting in the distance, Yang Sen, you put on a mask and leather gloves, and go over and have a look." ”
Yang Sen muttered, as if to say something about why I was so miserable, and only after equipping himself did he cautiously walk towards the thing.
Yang Sen lifted the bamboo mat and looked at it, then turned around and shouted, "My lord, under the bamboo mat is a corpse, infected with acne sores, and his face is almost rotten. ”
Duan Fei also put on a mask, although he had already been hit by pox, but just in case, it was better to be prepared, he walked towards the corpse and asked, "Then you start the autopsy, Shi Bin, you are responsible for the record." ”
Yang Sen and Shi Bin both agreed, and then Yang Sen began the autopsy, he lifted the straw mat and said: "The corpse is about five feet three inches tall, not fat or thin, the face is covered with rotten sores, and the original face cannot be seen, but the clothes and hairstyle should be a man, and there is an Adam's apple in the throat to confirm the previous judgment, and there is occasional white hair on his head, and according to the color of his skin, he is about thirty to forty years old." ”
Yang Sen touched the deceased's clothes with his hand, but he didn't feel it at all because he was wearing gloves, so he had to say: "The deceased's clothes are ordinary, with calluses on his hands, he may be a craftsman, and his family background is average...... There were no obvious external injuries on the deceased's body, and there were no signs of death from internal injuries, so it should have been infected with acne and died. ”
Yang Sen completed the autopsy with unprecedented speed, and then immediately moved away from the corpse, Duan Fei glared at him and said, "Time of death? Place? Are there any details of the identity of the deceased? ”
Yang Sen returned to the corpse with a bitter face and squatted down, and after examining it for a while, he said: "The body of the deceased is stiff, but the body has not yet been cold to the lowest, the time of death is about more than one hour to less than three hours, depending on the environment he is in, the place of death is unknown, there is a simple stretcher under his body, the signs of throwing the body are obvious, there is nothing on his body to verify his identity, my lord, I have finished the examination." ”
Duan Fei frowned and took a few steps closer, looked down seriously, and asked, "What's the matter with the wound on the left side of his face?" ”
Yang Sen glanced at it and replied, "This wound is very shallow, and it is possible that the festering flesh has been peeled off. ”
Duan Fei shook his head and said, "Yang Sen, you focus on it, is it necessary to cut off a piece of rotten flesh on a person's face after he dies?" The rest of this person's face is rotten enough, why hasn't it been shaved off? ”
Only then did Yang Sen notice that there was no blood oozing from the small area that had been cut off, and there was no trace of dressing and medicine, apparently after death, and he was afraid of smallpox, so he did not notice such an obvious detail.
Yang Sen quickly calmed down, he thought for a while, and said: "Since it is a public corpse, maybe someone doesn't want the identity of the deceased to be discovered so quickly, so they cut off the identifiable features on his face, from the size and knife technique that were cut off...... The deceased may have had a mole on his face, or a birthmark, a scar, or something. ”
Duan Fei nodded, looked at it a few more times, and suddenly said, "Yang Sen, check if there are any traces of the deceased's hands and feet that have been restrained?" ”
Yang Sen checked it and said, "No, what's wrong?" ”
Duan Fei said: "This is strange, have you found it?" The pimples on the deceased's face and hands were all rotten, I thought at first I had caught them, but then I didn't think it was like it, you see his face was rotten, but there was not much pus left, could it be that those refugees took advantage of the chaos to use the pus on his body to plant human pox on themselves? This is completely impossible, the only explanation is that the pus in the acne has been drained before he was thrown out, he is a pox source! ”
Yang Sen took a closer look and agreed: "Yes, these poxes have been picked and squeezed out, and they are exactly the same as the poxes on those cows, could it be that he is the source of pox used by the Juntian Sect to plant pox for believers?" ”
Duan Fei nodded and said, "It is very likely that there will be about twenty days from the time of infection to the onset of death from the pox, and it seems that the Jun Tianjiao has been lurking in Xi'an Mansion for a while. ”
Yang Sen asked, "Brother Fei, you just asked me if there were traces of restraint on my corpse, do you suspect that he didn't voluntarily act as the source of pox?" ”
Duan Fei replied: "Yes, I still think so, you see that there are no scratches on his skin, it is very itchy when he is infected with smallpox, at least when he has a red rash, those soldiers who have already had a red rash can't help but want to scratch, if the scratch skin leaves traces, it can exist for at least a few days, this person has no broken scratches on his face except for rotten sores, but it is a little strange, I don't believe that he has stronger willpower in his dreams than a warrior who has been tempered for thousands of years." ”
