As she spoke, she stepped forward with tweezers and flicked her gums, which were already a little soft. Even through the mask, it is inevitable that the stench will hit the face.

She didn't wait long before her movements suddenly stopped, and then carefully pressed her gums twice with tweezers. But when I saw it, it was really puffing up this small bag, as if it was wrapped in something.

When she had carefully cut her gums, she was overjoyed, and immediately took out a small piece of gold leaf with tweezers.

"The deceased did not have gold teeth, but they should have been affixed to the teeth with gold leaf." Thinking of this, she turned her head to look at Inspector Liu and asked, "During the autopsy, did a few adults find objects such as gold leaf in the soup in the pot?" ”

Although the gold leaf is thin, it is also solid gold. If it is just boiled in water, it will never melt......

The three of them looked at each other, shook their heads, and said, "I waited for someone to pour out the hot water in the pot, and when we were looking for small broken bones such as finger bones, we didn't find any gold leaf. ”

In other words, the gold leaf should have been dropped elsewhere, or taken by the murderer.

Xu Chu nodded and continued to speculate: "I speculate that the deceased lived a rich life, but he is not a rich and noble person. ”

"And judging from the shape of the bones, the deceased should be from or near the northern Xinjiang, not from the Central Plains."

Xiao Qinglang saw that she had analyzed this, and suddenly interrupted: "The people of Northern Xinjiang do not have the habit of inlaying gold teeth and pasting gold leaf...... And in the Gaomen of the Great Zhou Dynasty, they will not take this as a beauty......"

Xu Chu bowed, "So, according to this, the biggest possibility should be a merchant from the northern Xinjiang." The prince can let people find out in this regard, and they will definitely be able to find some clues. ”

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, all merchants who traveled from foreign countries had to go through many ranks, and even if they arrived in the capital, they had to report to the government. At the same time, when entering the city, the officials must also check the customs clearance documents and documents. Therefore, if it is really a merchant, it is easy to find.

What's more, the faces of the people in the north are different from those of the Great Zhou people, and if they really use gold leaf to inlay their teeth in the Beijing Medical Center, some people will inevitably remember it.

She got up and rubbed her somewhat sore wrist, and continued: "As for the murderer, he can break the neck of a man in the prime of life, which shows his great strength. Moreover, you should know some martial arts. The bloodletting technique is neat, and a single knife in the heart is not enough to kill, which shows that he also knows some medical skills, or is proficient in massacres. ”

"As for the specific appearance, it needs a day of restoration before it can be revealed. Of course, the limbs and general body shape can also be restored, but it will take a little longer. ”

When Liu He and the others heard this, they were stunned for a moment.

Although they had seen the restoration of the skull in the case file that the prince had brought back from Yunzhou City, they had not seen it with their own eyes.

They glanced at each other, and finally suppressed the shock and joy in their hearts, and followed Xu Chu to the next corpse.

The next thing to be inspected is the prince of the Northern Xinjiang Imperial Court, Utuke. This person's corpse was even more miserable than the previous ones. In addition to the fact that he has been dead for a long time and has been corrupted, there is also the incomplete appearance of being torn and eaten by wild dogs, which is really miserable.

Mottled bones, flesh and blood, and corpse fluid soaked in the white cloth on the coroner's table. Except for the fact that there were no maggots in the ice cellar, the remaining smell of rotting corpses emitted as soon as the white cloth was lifted.

It's been half a month since Utuk died, and even if he was in an ice cellar, it was difficult to preserve.

"This corpse, we have confirmed that it is indeed Prince Utuk's. At that time, although the wild dog ran to the market with his head in his mouth, his face was not eaten up, and his original appearance could still be vaguely recognized. ”

Probably shocked by the corpse of the person who was not the envoy before, Liu He hurriedly said: "All the envoys have also identified and confirmed their identity. The guards he brought with him also recognized the totems on the tattoos behind his ears......"

Xu Chu nodded, leaned over to look at the coroner's table, and used tweezers and autopsy knife to flick the remaining corpse pieces.

The so-called "eight pieces" are actually limbs, heads, and then the body is cut into three pieces. And now, the flesh and bones of the deceased have long been incomplete, and the flesh and blood on the arms are uneven and chewy, and occasionally the skin and flesh are sticky, but they have long been blue and rotten.

Seeing such a tragic situation, Mo said that it was Xiao Qinglang and the guards, even the three examiners who were used to seeing corpses, their faces were a little difficult to see. It's just that because the prince is standing on one side, they can only grit their teeth and continue to watch.

Xu Chu poked the neat wound that was cut by the knife, and said, "The skin and flesh at the blade are tight, and there is blood on all sides. The muscles and bones are thick and sticky, and the skin and flesh at the blade are exposed. Man is a living, mutilated ......"

"There was no hideous appearance on his face, and there was no local spasm in his body, so it is presumed that the deceased was killed by a knife cutting off his head. After that, the body was dismembered. ”

Inspector Liu nodded, they also had the same opinion on this, but there was no difference from what Xu Chu had tested.

As for why after being beheaded, there are still traces of flesh and skin rolling on the limbs of the corpse, it is not that the person was not dead at that time. Rather, it is because, in a short period of time after he was beheaded, the corpse will have a supernatural reaction.

The so-called superbiotic reaction, superbiotic reaction is the ability of an individual's organs, tissues and cells to maintain certain activities and functions in a short period of time after death, and to respond to external stimuli.

For example, the common phenomenon of pupil dilation in the autopsy, as well as the decapitation reaction, myocardial contraction reaction, and so on. Within a certain period of time, the human body will always react in various ways, which is why, when a person is clearly beheaded, but when it is dismembered, the skin and flesh around the wounds of the limbs will also react.

"The gnawing wounds on the limbs and bodies are chaotic and irregular, mainly laceration wounds, and the skin around the wound is not curled, which is caused after death. Therefore, wild dogs should be gnawed after the death of the deceased. ”

The organs are intact and there is no damage.

"There are no broken wrists and ankles, but because the flesh has been torn by wild animals, it is impossible to determine whether he was violently bound during his lifetime."

The people next to her forced a calm look at Xu Chu to look through the pile of broken corpses, and finally when she picked up a small piece of minced meat to observe, her stomach was completely churning.

The piece of meat had long since turned black, and it emitted a strong stench, which was disgusting. Partial to life, Xu Chu looked at it very carefully, and even put the piece of carrion on top of the white cloth to play with.

After a moment, she buried her gaze in the corpses again. After several searches, he even lifted up the stenching bones one by one to check, and finally found a small piece of bone.

She instantly stretched her brows, a faint streamer crossed her eyes, and said in a deep voice: "This is not human flesh and bones!" Normally, the phalanges are short and the articular surface is large. But this bone is the opposite, unless it is an atavistic phenomenon, it is never all that is in the human body. Moreover, compared to other carrion, this one rots relatively slowly, and it can be vaguely seen that the fibers are coarse......"

"If I'm not mistaken, this should be a cow fingerbone!"

In other words, the place where the man was dismantled should be a place where live cattle could be slaughtered.

Although the Great Zhou Dynasty was not strict with the slaughterers who killed pigs and sheep, the slaughter of live cattle was in accordance with the law. If they are not designated by the government to slaughter live cattle, they will be punished with cane or imprisonment for several years of hard labor.

In ancient times, which were dominated by agriculture, ploughing cattle were a scarce tool of labor and were protected by law. In order to promote farming, the Great Zhou government stipulated that the price of cattle was low, but the price of beef was extremely high, and it was not always available.

Only some old cattle that have been reported to the government for a reason, or injured live cattle that are no longer able to work, will be allowed to be slaughtered and sold.

Therefore, if it is really a cow finger bone, it is not traceable to trace it historically.

Xiao Qinglang's deep eyes flickered slightly with Xu Chu's movements, and the solemn and silent autopsy room also fell into silence completely because of Xu Chu's discovery.

After a while, Liu He and several people also hurriedly stepped forward to identify them. Sure enough, I saw that the small bones hidden in the shredded flesh of the corpse were not what would grow on a human body.

They wiped their cold sweat and hurriedly said, "It was me who was careless and almost missed such an important clue." ”

When the corpses were found, the mutilated pieces of the corpses had already been gnawed and flesh were blurred, and even if they could barely put them together, there was a lot of flesh and bones missing. Coupled with a pile of soft and blood-soaked bright red fat wrapped around this beef finger bone, and the somewhat rotten beef strip, it is naturally easy to be overlooked.

Xiao Qinglang said in a deep voice: "You are the inspectors of the Three Law Divisions, and you have jumped into the official status among thousands of works, and you are admired and envied by the world. It's just that this king thinks that you don't seem to be worthy of your name. Such an obvious mistake can be made, and it is really not as good as a woman who was born in the countryside for an autopsy for decades......"

His voice was not mixed with terrifying anger, but it was so calm but even more terrifying.

Liu He's face was embarrassed, and he secretly glanced at Xiao Qinglang's solemn face, then pursed his lips and lowered his head and said, "It's a subordinate who is careless, and he will not do it again in the future." ”

If it had been before, maybe he could still reluctantly pass the buck. But now, as the prince said, a young female servant has overturned their autopsy conclusions again and again, and even made new discoveries. In this way, how can they have peace of mind?

Moreover, with the experience of Cao Xianguan, and looking at what the prince means now, he really has the intention to reorganize the three law divisions. If they insist on justifying, it will backfire. It is better to do your best in the future, fulfill your duties, and never do anything that violates the rules of the inspector.

Left and right, they were indeed negligent at the time, but they did not falsify.
