Zhang Lihai also lowered his voice: "Bureau Liu, you have also seen the situation...... How can I explain it clearly! Let's listen to Liu Ke's autopsy results! ”

Liu Liwei nodded, and walked to Liu Xili, who was bending down to "clean up" a strange female corpse: "Healy, what did you find?" ”

Liu Xili glanced up at Liu Liwei, straightened up, and took off his mask and white gloves.

"Say it, no one will believe it! I don't believe it myself...... So it's been going back and forth ...... autopsies"

"What the hell did you find?"

"This is an ancient corpse! And it's probably more than a millennium......"

"A thousand-year-old female corpse? Impossible, right? ”

Liu Xili smiled bitterly: "Liu Suo, not only do you say it's impossible, I also think it's impossible, but the facts are here." ”

Listening to Liu Xili, he seemed a little excited.

I couldn't help but interject: "Did you use some kind of method to preserve the corpse, such as pouring mercury and using potion blisters?" ”

As far as I know, the ancients kept corpses in a variety of ways, some of which were even frightening.

For example, in ancient Egypt, the corpses of pharaohs were mummified, and the process was quite bloody:

First of all, the body is placed in a special environment and placed in a special position, which helps the body to drain the fluid, and then the organs and brain are removed, in addition to the heart, which is said to be used by the deceased when he goes to heaven.

There is a magazine dedicated to how doctors in ancient Egypt took out the brains and internal organs of the pharaoh's corpses. Directly use red-hot sharp pliers to stick through the nostrils and drag them out......

After some process, the pharaoh's corpse became an "empty shell", and the removed human organs were coated with a mineral salt, and then placed in jars filled with frankincense, which were to be put back later.

The surface of the mummy should be coated with a layer of spices, which is used for embalming, and after it is done, the mummy must be wrapped in a quilt, so that a mummy is made.

In addition to mummification, the ancients also had four common methods of preserving corpses.

The most common is the use of preservatives, such as formaldehyde and a solution of alcohol or water, in which Comrade Lenin, the great leader of the former Soviet Union, a Taoist priest and a communist shovel fighter, is still soaked in this liquid, and it is said that people are as alive except that they are a little smaller overall.

In the 12th century, it was popular in Arabia to preserve the remains in honey, commonly known as "mellification"

According to Li Shizhen's account, human honey stains are a kind of suicide that has been carried out before death. The person who will be honeyed needs to fast and dewater before dying, and can only drink honey. Because of this, the feces, urine and sweat of the dying person are all honey. When these warriors had eaten enough honey and finally hung up, they were placed in sarcophagi and soaked in more honey.

The fourth is the body plasticization method. The method of plasticizing the human body was invented in 1977 by a famous foreign scientist. As with other methods of human body preservation, there are many variables, but the main points of body plasticization are:

First of all, in order to prevent and stop decay, the human body is stereotyped in a preservative solution, which is usually formaldehyde.

Secondly, after the finalization is completed, the anatomist will perform the necessary dissection, cut open the body, and display the tissues and internal organs.

The next step is dehydration. After all the dissection is done, the sample is placed in sub-zero acetone.

When the body is frozen, the water in the cells is "sucked out", and when the temperature reaches the freezing point of minus 95, acetone is injected into the cells in the sample to replace the water. 2k

When all moisture has been removed, the sample is placed in a liquid polymer – silicone, polyester or epoxy resin. It's time to kick acetone out of the body as well. In a vacuum, acetone is quickly dispersed and the liquid plastic is introduced into the cells. At this stage, the specimen can be modeled to its final pose.

Plastination is famous for the world-touring exhibition of human samples organized by the inventor Von Hagens, who has traveled around the world with these plasticized samples since the late 90s to uncover the secrets of the human body.

The last one is cryonics.

It is simply to freeze people (not necessarily corpses) by certain means, similar to animal hibernation. It is said that there are already more than a dozen or twenty "frozen people" in the United States who have volunteered to participate in the experiment, and these people choose to use cryonics technology to freeze themselves because they have a terminal illness that cannot be cured by current medicine, and then wait until a certain day, medically overcome this terminal disease, and then "revive".

Liu Xili shook his head: "I have already done monitoring just now, this is a simple corpse, there is no sign of poisoning, and there is no other way to dispose of the corpse, the strange thing is that the skin of the corpse is still elastic." ”

The two forensic doctors on the side quickly examined the freshly fished corpse and whispered to us: "This corpse is in the same condition!" ”

Liu Xili's color changed and suddenly turned iron, he pondered for a moment, took out his mobile phone and walked to the side.

I was also confused, full of doubts, and looked around at the large black water in front of me, the size of ten football fields, and the pungent smell of fish.

The entire Thirteen Caves of the Yellow River and the Sanli Village Cemetery have all collapsed?

At this time, Wu Jinghan on the side pulled me: "Lu Dong, it's enjoyable, right?" ”

As he spoke, he twisted it my thigh.

"What nonsense! These are ancient corpses—ancient corpses! Do you understand? ”

Wu Jinghan gave me a blank look: "I have touched more ancient corpses than you have seen!" But...... But this is the first time I've seen such a female corpse! ”

"Yes! Why is it so well preserved, and there is elasticity...... This is too damn evil! ”

"I probably know what's going on!" Wu Jinghan said to me in a very low voice.

"You know?"

"That's right! These may be the saints used by the Dongyi people to sacrifice to the river, and it is said that these are given to the bride of the Yellow River, so the body will not rot for 10,000 years. ”

"Ahh This is similar to the rumors in Higashito Village! ”

"I've also learned about this before, maybe the entire river sacrifice activity in the lower reaches of the Yellow River is handed down from the Dongyi tribe!"

At that time, when I was in Donghu Village, I forgot who had heard that the corpses of women who did not rot floated up in the Yellow River before, and the locals called them "the wives of the dragon king", that is, the concubines of the dragon king.

They said that they might have made a mistake, or they didn't like the dragon king, so they were driven ashore.

The use of living people, especially beauties, to sacrifice the river, at least since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in our country, such as the text "Ximen Leopard" selected from the primary school Chinese textbook, shows that the custom of using girls to sacrifice the river was popular in Yecheng at that time.

It turns out that all this has been passed down from the Dongyi tribe!

Liu Liwei put the phone back in his pocket and waved at a few of us.
