Chapter 932: Cause of Death
After saying this, Fu Shiyi broke open the deceased's mouth and showed them the teeth: "Look at it, there is not just a water weed on the teeth. β
"Look at the nostrils again." Fu Shiyi took out a cotton swab, put it into the nostrils of the deceased, wiped it around and then pulled it out.
Sure enough, there was a little algae on the cotton swab, and there was mud and sand.
Fu Shiyi showed Luo Yueqing and Li Changbo in front of him: "When the deceased entered the water, he was not dead. β
Luo Yueqing has never met anyone who drowned, so he still doesn't understand this principle very well: "Why? β
"Because the dead don't breathe, they don't drink." Fu Shi is concise and to the point.
Li Changbo coughed and helped Fu Shiyi explain: "When the deceased is in the water, he will keep opening his mouth to inhale because of suffocation, so the sediment and aquatic plants in the water will be in his mouth." The same goes for nostrils. β
"This is one of the main characteristics of drowning." Fu Shiyi couldn't help but glance at Li Changbo, and muttered in his heart: Next time, do you want to let Li County Ling try an independent autopsy? Maybe it's much stronger than Zhai Sheng.
"The other main feature is that there is a lot of water in the lungs and stomach." Fu Shi said as he pressed the corpse's chest: "Look, water will come out of your mouth." Indicates that there is a lot of fluid in the lungs. β
Luo Yueqing understood, but there was one thing he didn't understand: "Then how can you be sure that the cause of death is drowning, not injury?" β
This question was stunned for a moment: Seriously, this kind of judgment has become a conditioned reflex, and it is really difficult to answer when suddenly asked like this?
After thinking about it for a while, Fu Shiyi coughed and explained: "Because, if someone stabs you, unless it is right in the neck, or in the cervical vertebrae, you will die quickly, but if it is just bleeding." That's not going to die quickly. β
"But drowning is different, it's just a little while. Moreover, if someone stabs you, if you are lucky and meet the divine doctor in time, you may be able to pick up a life. This doesn't necessarily mean death. But drowning, and tying you directly to a stone and throwing you down, the gods can't save you. β
Luo Yueqing is probably possessed by the bar spirit today: "When I was found drowning, I jumped down and cut the rope, can't I be rescued?" β
"Well, so let's see which one dies faster." Fu Shiyi didn't raise the bar with her, anyway, neither of these two could be easily saved. And now the law is not so perfect, there are not so many details.
"Anyway, as long as a person dies, no matter what means, it is a killing." Fu Shi looked at Luo Yueqing: "You just need to remember this point firmly." β
Li Changbo also followed suit: "It doesn't matter how the means are, it's just to infer the situation at that time." Importantly, a single human life is lost. β
Fu Shiyi immediately went to check the wound again: "The wound is wide in the middle and narrow at both ends, and it looks like a special dagger with blades on both sides." β
The current daggers are generally on one side, and they are all Western style, with a certain amplitude.
This dagger, which resembles a dagger, is specially made. It needs to be built by specialized people.
Li Changbo nodded: "If that's the case, you can also start with the blacksmith to check it." β
"There were also some defensive wounds on the deceased's body." Fu Shiyi grabbed the deceased's arm and showed them: "Such a heavy bruise, it looks ruthless." The bruises are not just one, but the traces are almost the same, which means that the deceased had fought before he died. And it's the kind of life-fightingβ"
Saying this, Li Changbo almost had a guess: "Xu has a grudge?" So someone else seeks revenge, and then in the process of fighting, they are stabbed and thrown into the river? β
For this speculation, Fu Shi nodded a little: "It's not impossible." The other party must have brought a rope and a stoneβ"
"And the place where the fight should be fought is not too far from the edge of the river. Otherwise, when someone is transported, the person will be dead a long time ago. Fu Shiyi reminded Li Changbo. Li Xianling could ask the people in their village to see if there were any traces of fighting and bloodstains found elsewhere. β
Li Changbo said in a deep voice: "The other party has long thought about killing people and throwing corpses, and it is likely to be someone from this area." But Li Zheng said that the deceased was not from the neighborhood, he did not know him, and the people in the village also said that they did not know him, and he had not seen it. β
"That's the deliberate way to bring people here." Fu Shiyi frowned, "You can see on the hands of the deceased, the palms are calloused, and there are a lot of them, they should be doing manual work, or they are practicing martial arts." And there are a lot of small wounds on the hands, not just new, but also healed. The damaged area has been pecked by fish. But fortunately, there are not many, and there are many things to see. β
"And feet. Thick calluses on the feet and cracks in the heels β this is more common in people who walk a lot. Fu Shi pointed to the two of them.
In addition to these, Fu Shiyi found an old long scar on his thigh. Two finger-long scars were found on his back.
Luo Yueqing wondered: "Does this person have a lot of enemies?" β
"It's possible." Fu Shiyi stared at the scar: "The scars are not from the same period, they are basically three different times, and the length and width are different, and the severity of the scar is not the same, indicating that it is not the same murder weapon." β
"Who gets hurt so often? And it must have been a wound caused by a sharp object. For example, swords, daggers, etc. The more he thought about it, the more Fu Shiyi frowned.
Li Changbo said softly: "Bing." Battlefield. Or a housekeeper, a dart master, or a thug. β
Anyway, none of them can get out of the fight.
Fu Shiyi didn't bother much, and continued to do his own work: "Other than these, I can't see anything else on the corpse." I'll take out the contents of the stomach pouch now, but it's probably because of choking, and I can't see anything. β
"Give it a try." Li Changbo said softly.
Fu Shiyi asked Luo Yueqing to prepare something, then found the esophagus on his neck and cut it, and then put a long-handled spoon into it to scoop the stomach contents out.
The stomach is basically full of water.
It took a long time to scoop out a little food scraps.
Fu Shiyi filtered it out with gauze and carefully identified it with Luo Yueqing.
Luo Yueqing stared at the residue, and he wasn't sure for a long time: "It seems to be meat?" β
"It should be mutton." Fu Shiyi's tone was firm. "And it's a big piece of boiled lamb."
Luo Yueqing looked at Fu Shiyi suspiciously: "How are you sure?" β
"The chicken should be a little whiter. The lamb is dark in color. Fu Shi blinked his eyes and looked calm: "If you have a chance in the future, just observe the vomit more." β
Even if he was wearing a mask, Fu Shiyi saw Luo Yueqing's face green.
"And then there's the crumbs." Fu Shiyi pointed to a ball of noodles and said, "Looking at this, it should have been a short time before he died." Since he is not a local, it is certainly not a meal eaten at home. β
