Chapter 64: Returning from a Snowy Night (7)

When Xiao Qinglang and Xu Chu arrived, they saw that the villagers who first found the corpse were dodging like crazy, but when they wanted to run away, their legs were weak and unable to move due to fear and panic. It was such a terrible shout that attracted many villagers to follow suit.

But when everyone saw Xiao Qinglang and Xu Chu, they couldn't help but cover their mouths and retreat again and again, even if they were bold, they just looked at them through the probe at the entrance of the village. As for the only few children in the village like He Xiaohua, they were confined to their homes by adults and were not allowed to go out to play day and night, so no children were frightened.

The strange smell of iron in the wind made the uneasiness and fear of the whole village even stronger. However, Huang Xianling intended to show himself, so he didn't dare to leave even if he was trembling. His face was pale, he covered his mouth with a handkerchief and leaned weakly on a catcher, obviously having vomited a long time ago.

When Xu Chu arrived, he saw several officials surrounding a dead tree not far from the entrance of the village, on which hung an unrecognizable corpse. Unlike the bodies found yesterday, today's deaths are even more tragic.

If the previous person was smashed beyond recognition, then this one was directly disemboweled, and the internal organs mixed with blood flowed down the body, making the corpse look impossible to check.

In the same way, the viscera that was still faintly hanging in the chest cavity of the deceased had long been stirred into shape.

Xu Chu was not in a hurry to conduct an autopsy, but instead searched for it left and right of the dead tree. Sure enough, there were some inconspicuous dead grass under the dead trees, which looked disorganized, and there were no footprints or traces of dragging on them.

Except for the blood that fell vertically from the corpse, there was no superfluous presence at the scene, and there was no sign of struggle. Obviously, this is another dumping site. But the most important thing is that compared to the previous death of the sixth son, this deceased had shed a lot of blood, but there was no trace of blood on the road from outside the village to the village. So how exactly did the murderer move the body?

It can be said that this problem has been bothering her since yesterday. If yesterday it was because the villagers destroyed the scene and destroyed the evidence, then what should we say today?

"Have the body be dismantled and laid flat." After seeing the traces of withered grass on the ground, and walking about seven or eight meters left and right, but she didn't get anything, she raised her hand and signaled to catch it quickly.

However, seeing that there was a blur of flesh and blood as far as the eye could see, and the arrest brought by Huang County's order was also disgusted and frightened, how dare he step forward. It wasn't until Xu Chu looked over that the official pointed to his nose tremblingly, and asked hesitantly: Before Xu Chu could speak, he saw that the Huang County Commander had already kicked it up, and said fiercely: "It's not you, could it be the eldest lord?" ”

It's not that the official deliberately shirked, but it was really such a corpse that made people tremble when they saw it. What's more, as the old saying goes, the soul of a person who dies unjustly like this cannot be reincarnated, and if it is infected with bad luck, it will be unlucky.

Huang Xian Ling saw that the official still did not move, his eyes widened, and he was about to get angry.

Fortunately, Xu Chu didn't have the habit of being strong, and when he saw that he was still hesitant and slowly moving his steps, he shook his head and looked at Wei Guang.

In fact, Wei Guang is also cold under his feet now, and his back is cold, he has followed the prince for many years, and he has never seen any battles, and he has encountered several cases since he left the capital, one is more weird than the other, and one is more cruel than the other.

But he knew in his heart that according to the prince's concern for Miss Xu, if he didn't get started, maybe the prince would personally come forward to untie the corpse next. So, he frowned, intending to step forward.

However, before he could take a step, he saw that his prince, who had always loved cleanliness, did not say a word, and strode up with a calm expression, dismantled the corpse three times and two times, and then laid it flat on the white cloth that had already been laid.

Because the corpse was extremely bloody this time, before the autopsy, Xu Chu first took a wide robe and put it on his body. This robe was still worn by Xiao Qinglang when the horse was frightened that day, and later he replaced it and never put it away because of the hot wrinkles.

Xu Chu asked Wei Guang and learned that in the past, when he encountered such a situation, most of these robes were discarded, and the prince would not wear them again. So she cleaned it up briefly, put it in her toolbox, and thought about which day the autopsy would need to be used.

It's just that now that she is taking it out in such an open and honest way, coupled with Xiao Qinglang's dull and twilight eyes, it still makes her feel a little uncomfortable.

In fact, Xiao Qinglang was also surprised in his heart, but when he saw his robe on her, he strangely did not have any thoughts of being offended, but had a faint joy and indescribable tenderness.

He took a deep breath, stepped forward, pursed his lips without saying a word, and directly reached out to help her fasten the button. When the fingers swept over the top button, it inevitably touched her somewhat red neck, which was a little hot but not hot. It's like touching a cup of hot tea on a winter day that counts nine cold days, and makes him sigh.

"Thank you, Lord Wang." Xu Chu pursed his lips, abandoned the charming thoughts in his heart, and turned to look at the corpse calmly.

Human life is greater than the sky, even if there is shyness on the side, it should not be born at this time.

Xiao Qinglang took a step back and looked down slightly at the person who had already squatted down to start the autopsy.

There was silence all around, only the cold wind blew, brushing his sleeves and taking away the temperature that his fingers had just touched. For a moment, he clearly felt an inexplicable surge in his heart. He looked fixedly at the girl who was gilded with a layer of golden light as the sun set, and suddenly understood something.

It's like Hua Wuzhi will always endlessly retreat and tolerate the pearl, how can he not have deep trust and tolerance for Xu Chu? What's more, in order to make her road ahead smooth, he made exceptions again and again.

From the woman's case to the autopsy, he allowed all the autopsy methods that defied the world's condemnation, and he allowed it again and again.

He looked at the back, thinking about her resolute expression when she was steaming her bones and boiling the corpse, and couldn't help but slightly hook the corners of his mouth. Even if it's a, so what? One day, the whole Zhou Dynasty will understand that the most important thing is not him, the prince in power, but the power of life and death.

In the morning light, Xiao Qinglang saw the strange feelings surging in his heart for the first time, and tasted the taste of emotion for the first time, but he was not as sour and sweet as others, but still calm and quiet.

Before he was prepared enough, he didn't want to make the relationship between the two complicated, and he didn't want to disturb her, who was bent on investigating the case and finding her father.

"The deceased was a male, 6 feet 2 inches tall and between 25 and 30 years old. Thin body, according to weight and height, there are symptoms of malnutrition. He has been engaged in extremely heavy physical labor for a long time, and his body is seriously overdrawn. Xu Chu paused for a moment, and then said, "The early winter is cold, and exposure will lower the temperature of the corpse, and it is estimated that the time of death is about three hours to two and a half hours ago according to the temperature of the corpse at this time. There was a heavy object attack on the top of the head, a smash wound on the face, and a knife wound on the chest and abdomen was extremely deep, deep and visible to the bone, sharp and slightly thicker. The flesh has an inclination but does not form a triangular wound, and it is speculated that the murder weapon resembles a mountain knife. ”

As she moved, Huang Xian Ling and the eyes of the fast arresters all looked over. I didn't expect that a good girl would be fearless in the face of such a terrifying corpse, and she would dare to fiddle with the corpse.

Not to mention that the first time they saw a woman for an autopsy, it was Huang Xianling who knew that the Gongzi brother in front of him had something to do with the examiner, but he gave him a few brains, and he didn't think that it was not Gongzi who wanted to conduct the autopsy, but a servant girl beside him.

He was secretly surprised in his heart, the capital was really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and even a little maid could check the scene of the bloody forest without changing her face.

"The deceased's skull was shattered, and there were marks of blows to his face, but a look of fear could be faintly seen." Xu Chu put on gloves and used tweezers to place the five internal organs into his abdomen, and then briefly checked it, and when he saw the appendix, he raised his eyebrows and looked at it carefully. When I had a conclusion in my heart, I said,

"The deceased's appendix is inflamed, depending on the situation, it should be chronic appendicitis, pain in the right lower abdomen, often intermittent dull pain or swelling pain, sometimes severe and sometimes light."

"Appendicitis?" Xiao Qinglang opened his mouth in confusion, and everyone was a little stunned. Although they don't understand what malnutrition is in Xu Chu's mouth, they can guess roughly, but what the hell is the appendix behind?

Xu Chu pointed to the appendix in his hand, raised his head slightly and explained: "Appendicitis is intestinal carbuncle, which is colic, which is cholera......

As soon as they heard that it was cholera, everyone subconsciously retreated again and again, and when they looked at the corpse and Xu Chu again, there was dodge and fear in their eyes. Even Huang County, who had been trying to curry favor with Xiao Qinglang, stumbled and hid behind a group of officials.

Xiao Qinglang looked at her slightly loose shoulders, without any movement or evasion.

Xu Chu didn't say anything more or explain, just glanced at Xiao Qinglang and exchanged dark glances with each other, and then she leaned over and sewed up the corpse on the spot.

In fact, strictly speaking, colic sha is cholera, but appendicitis is intestinal carbuncle, and strictly speaking, the two are not the same. The reason why she said that was only done on purpose.

You know, whether it's cholera or carbuncles, there is almost no cure in this era. Cholera, in particular, is almost ready for the aftermath once it is infected.

Just thinking about it, Xu Chu had already stitched the body together. It was only at this time that a few people in the vicinity realized that the stitch marks were like the shape of the characters left by her autopsy yesterday. It's just that maybe it's a hasty imitation, so it's not neat.

But that's what makes it even creepier. Even if Xu Chu doesn't say it, many people guess that the murderer did it this time, and they are afraid that they are imitating her autopsy method yesterday.

"Maybe it's the same person?" Xiao Qinglang spoke.

"Although the behavior of corpse abuse has changed, the method of killing is the same as the preference, and it can be basically determined that the fatal injuries are the same, and the murder weapon is also the same."

In addition, the murderer has a strong desire to imitate and provoke, and also has tyrannical emotions. Murderous warnings or provocations have been treated as a game by him. ”

The deceased suffered multiple fractures in his limbs, and his manoeuvre was escalated. But it is precisely because he is so perverted that he turns killing into a game that he will cherish his life even more.
