Chapter 273: Corpse Spot Can Talk
It was a letter sent to her family by a palace maid who was familiar with Caidie, and it was also a suicide note.
The palace maid who helped deliver the letter to the family happened to be out of the palace on errands in the two days after the incident, so she didn't learn of Caidie's death until she returned to the palace today.
When she left the palace, she accidentally left Caidie's family letter in the palace, so that she was able to send the family letter that was supposed to be sent to Caidie's family to the mother in charge.
Caidie made arrangements for many matters at home in her family letter, although she did not explicitly say that she was going to die, but between the lines she was vaguely saying goodbye to her family, and all the savings she had saved after entering the palace were also entrusted to her family.
Wei Qingqing felt that this letter was indeed written by Caidie, but it was not sent to the mother in charge until she made a decision on the case, which should be the handwriting of the person behind the scenes - that person wanted to tell everyone the correct answer in this way.
And no one died after the one-day time limit expired, which also proved that Wei Qingqing did not miss this time, and Caidie did hang herself.
Although Wei Qingqing solved the puzzle of the person behind the scenes, she was not happy - she has not been able to find the person behind the scenes, and she has been led by the people behind the scenes, this feeling really makes her very, very unhappy!
Who is behind the scenes?
What was the purpose of the man's actions?
After thinking about it carefully, Wei Qingqing decided to quietly start with the palace maid who delivered the letter to her family - why was she sent out to the palace on an errand at the time of the crime, and just missed the time limit of that day?
Why did she accidentally leave Caidie's family letter in the palace?
Was she actively or passively left behind?
All this is certainly not a coincidence, but someone secretly arranged it!
Wei Qingqing finally had a direction to find out the person behind the scenes, who would have thought that she didn't have time to investigate in detail, so the person behind the scenes made another move - another female corpse hanging from a tree was found!
It was still a female corpse hanging from a tree, an anonymous challenge letter; The content is still for Wei Qingqing to judge whether to commit suicide or homicide; The time limit is still one day, and if Wei Qingqing doesn't give the correct answer for more than one day, another person will die.
The repeated occurrence of the same murder case made Wei Qingqing angry and wanted to kill!
The person behind the scenes is against her, and every time she deliberately makes the deceased exactly the same!!
It seems that she wants to mock her in this silent way, and wants to see how long she can judge such a case!!
Wei Qingqing was furious in her heart, and she couldn't wait to pull out the person behind the scenes and beat him up, but in the end, she could only suppress her anger, investigate the scene step by step, examine the corpse, and try her best to find the truth!
Wei Qingqing climbed to the vicinity of the corpse with the help of a low ladder, and at a glance saw obvious signs of wear and tear on the rope hanging from the trunk, which made her preliminarily deduce that the deceased was still alive when he was hung up on the tree, so he had struggled violently when his neck was hanged.
Wei Qingqing then carefully examined the strangulation marks on the deceased's neck and confirmed that the thickness and width of the strangulation marks were exactly the same as the thickness and width of the rope hanging her, which was enough to prove that the strangulation marks on the deceased's neck were left by the rope hanging her.
Wei Qingqing leaned on the low ladder, carefully recorded the two results, and then looked at the back of the deceased's head, and found that the strangulation marks on the back of the head were in a disjoint shape - this is consistent with Wei Qingqing's inference in the Caidie case.
All of these seem to indicate that the deceased committed suicide rather than homicide, and even the guard who gave Wei Qingqing a hand couldn't help but be eager to make the inference of suicide because he witnessed the cracking of the previous cases, "Miss Wei, she looks like she hanged herself." ”
But Wei Qingqing felt weird for no reason, and even jumped out of a bold assumption in her heart - would someone combine all kinds of reasoning and conclusions she made in her previous cases to create a pseudo-self-hanging case that seems to have no flaws on the surface?
The reasoning and conclusions made by Wei Qingqing in several previous cases, any one can verify that the deceased in this case committed suicide and not homicide!
But it is precisely because any conclusion can be concluded that the whole case looks flawless, but it makes Wei Qingqing feel that this is a perfect case of suicide by killing and pretending to commit suicide!
In order to verify her inner guess, Wei Qingqing began to reason backwards, "Assuming that the deceased was strangled to death, if the murderer's strength is strong enough and he pays attention to her at all times when strangling her, it can also make the strangulation marks on the deceased's neck appear in the back of the head in a figure of eight that do not intersect!" ”
"As for the wear marks on the trunk, just artificially create wear marks before the corpse is hung!" Although Wei Qingqing only assumed that the deceased was killed by him, her inference is not unreasonable - some traces are not presented at the scene of the crime, which can indeed prove that the deceased was killed by him;
But on the other hand, some traces are presented at the scene of the crime, but they may not necessarily prove that the deceased committed suicide, after all, traces can be faked, and it is not difficult to create them from scratch!
Wei Qingqing's intuition has always been very accurate, and at this moment, her intuition tells her that the murder in front of her is not as simple as it seems on the surface!
She quickly made up her mind and said to the guards, "Lord Troubled will help me get the body down, and I will conduct a further autopsy!" ”
After she finished speaking, she ordered Snow Kite to bring her guy who solved the case, took out Huo Qi, untied the clothes of the deceased, and began to inspect every part of the deceased's body inch by inch, hoping to find some useful clues.
As the deceased's clothes were gradually stripped off, Wei Qingqing's inner speculation was also verified, so that she could finally give a definite conclusion in a firm tone, "The deceased did not hang himself, but was killed and hung on a tree to fake it as hanging!" ”
The guard was stunned when he heard this, and asked, "How can you see it?" I also ask Miss Wei for advice. ”
Wei Qingqing pointed to the purple-red corpse spot on the deceased's back and said, "It told me!" ”
After death, the blood circulation stops, and the blood in the blood vessels moves to the lower part of the corpse due to gravity, and the blood vessels in the high part of the corpse are empty, and the capillaries and venules in the lower part are filled with blood, which accumulates in the capillaries and venules and expands, showing purple spots through the skin, which are called corpse spots.
Wei Qingqing is no stranger to corpse spots, and knows that although corpse spots are produced on every deceased, this corpse spot is very particular - the corpse spots on the deceased are different for different ways of dying.
Wei Qingqing did not explain the differences of the corpse spots to the guards, but only focused on analyzing the corpse spots on the female corpse in front of him, "After a person dies, some purple corpse spots will form at the lowest part of the corpse, and the corpse spots will solidify after four hours of formation, even if the corpse is moved and the lowest position is changed, the corpse spots that have been solidified will not transfer or disappear." ”
"That is to say, the corpse spots of the corpse lying flat on the back will be on the back, and the corpse spots of the corpse lying prone will be distributed on the face, chest, abdomen, and front of the limbs......"
