Chapter 358
Besides, the only thing the Dong family can rely on now is Dong Ruiyang. If Dong Ruiyang dies, it will be tantamount to a bolt from the blue for them.
If this possibility is ruled out, then there is only one possibility left, the person who sent medicine to Dong Ruiyang, or secretly used his hands and feet to kill him, should be in the Three Law Division. Moreover, that person is still an existence that is easy to ignore and not easy to suspect.
With this thought, Xu Chu couldn't help but pause the movements of his hand and looked up at Xiao Qinglang, who was silent in thought.
Xiao Qinglang groaned for a moment, and the dark light under his eyes flashed, until he met Xu Chu's worried gaze, and the corners of his tense mouth relaxed slightly.
"Go ahead."
Xu Chu saw that he had a clear look, as if he had already thought through this, and immediately stopped worrying. She took the autopsy knife and cut directly through the skin of the deceased's neck. The muscles inside instantly opened, but there was no bleeding, which showed that the deceased had not been strangled or strangled by the neck. In this way, the possibility of violent death can be ruled out.
Then, Xu Chu skillfully dissected the deceased's chest cavity.
Xu has seen more of her methods of autopsy, so the guards and examiners who followed Xiao Qinglang and Xu Chu to come, even if they were a little uncomfortable at this time, they would no longer be pale or blue. Even Tang Qiaozheng was not too unusual at this time.
The scalpel descends precisely and quickly, separating the muscles from the bones until the blood vessels and genital tract are exposed.
Just when Xu Chu dissected the genital tract of the deceased's lower body, Xiao Qinglang subconsciously frowned, and immediately turned his gaze slightly to her face wearing a plain cloth mask and half-covering her face.
She didn't know what she saw, and her eyes suddenly burst into a strange light, as if there was not some terrible corpse under her hand, but something pleasant.
He looked at her dark eyes with a bit of persistence and caution, and the awkwardness in his heart suddenly became insignificant.
He knew this from the beginning of the meeting, how could he dislike it now?
Even if there is a difference between a man and a woman, what is the difference between a man and a woman?
Now, if he really has such a mind, it is narrow-minded.
Just when he was watching in silence, he heard Xu Chu say in a deep voice: "The left ventricle is often cavitous, and the myocardium and the smooth muscles attached to the blood vessel wall and genital tract are stiff, so it can be inferred that the time of death of the deceased is about an hour and a half. Because of the stiffness of the smooth muscles, it is assumed that the iris muscles are also stiff, resulting in a slight narrowing of the pupil. ”
"Of course, this is just normal speculation, if the prince has any doubts with Lord Tang, then I also need to dissect the deceased's eyes in detail to determine the cause of the abnormal pupil changes."
Although others don't know what the connection is, they may think that this is just an explanation for the strange phenomenon of miosis. But for Xu Chu, this is enough to rule out that there is no organophosphorus poison, or that there is a traverser who can develop organophosphorus poison.
Ever since she knew that Ning Subai's mother was likely to have crossed over, she was very vigilant about whether there would be other traversers. Even, I am worried that the person behind the scenes that they have been tracking down is the person who has crossed over.
This matter is not something she imagined at will, but this kind of layout, as well as the precise control of people's hearts, is a little weird. She even suspected that from the very beginning, what they were facing might have been...... A traverser who is extremely familiar with Da Zhou.
Although she didn't understand the principle of traversal, she had also heard that in the traversal that was all the rage for a period of time, there would be many reborn or repeated traversers.
Thinking of this, her expression couldn't help but change a little. She couldn't say this possibility to others, even if it was Xiao Qinglang, she didn't dare to say it easily.
Now, this possibility has been ruled out, how can it not make her heart feel a little relieved?
Hearing that she was also going to dissect the eyes of the deceased, the three inspectors and Tang Qiaozheng were a little uneasy. Although they accepted her autopsy method, it did not mean that they could accept a person who gouged out the eyeballs of a dead man and studied it, and the scene made them feel numb when they thought about it.
Obviously, Xiao Qinglang didn't want to delay for that, he spoke: "Maybe the cause of death is determined to be an overdose of tranquilizers?" ”
Xu Chu nodded, his eyes remained unchanged, and while quickly cutting open the deceased's stomach, he said: "There is no damage left by violent means on the deceased's body, and there are no traces of struggle and resistance, and according to the autopsy, there are no signs of disease enough for sudden death in the heart and other places. In addition, there was suffocation on his body, so it can be concluded that he died from an overdose of tranquilizers that can suppress breathing and the central nervous system. ”
As for what kind of drug it is, when to take it, and when it starts to attack, further tests are needed.
Obviously, Xiao Qinglang also understood this, so he didn't urge her, just waiting for Xu Chu to give a more detailed conclusion.
Next, Xu Chu examined the stomach of the deceased according to the conventional autopsy method, and took out the undigested meat and chyle residue.
"The deceased should have eaten rice and pork at noon, as well as kelp and a small amount of greens." She used tweezers to remove the minced meat that had entered the duodenum and a small amount of vegetable residue that had entered the large intestine, and after distinguishing it, she said coldly, "Moreover, the deceased should have drunk alcohol." ”
Her eyes widened as she spoke, as if she had figured something out.
Dong Ruiyang's death...... The body is bruised, the pupils are constricted, and the extensor and flexor muscles are extremely contracted, causing the body to stiffen...... and stiff respiratory muscles......
This is a typical feature of turtle poisoning.
The so-called turtle is actually a strychnine, which is highly poisonous. Traditional Chinese medicine is often used to treat rheumatism, numbness, paralysis, bruises, carbuncle swelling and pain, and polio sequelae.
If this medicine is mixed with alcohol, the medicinal properties are greater. It is said that Li Houzhu died of this medicine, which is the so-called drug.
No wonder she always felt that something was wrong with Dong Ruiyang's death, and her body was curled up. At first, she thought that Dong Ruiyang really died in her sleep, but now it seems that it is quite like a state of attack after poisoning.
It's just that when he died, the guards outside didn't notice any movement?
"What's wrong?" Xiao Qinglang saw that Xu Chu's eyes were a little condensed, and immediately asked.
Xu Chu set his eyes on the corpse whose body was still a little weirdly curved, and was silent for a long time before sighing and saying, "I suspect that he was hit by the turtle, but he actually died of the poison of the strychnine." ”
There was silence in the autopsy room, and it was obvious that everyone couldn't keep up with Xu Chu's judgment. How could Lord Xu suddenly come to such a conclusion? Isn't there something they haven't noticed?
Xiao Qinglang raised his eyebrows, looked at Xu Chu quietly, and waited for her next words.
"Actually, I thought too much about it from the beginning. The deceased's pupils were constricted, and his whole body was tense and blue-purple, which was a characteristic of suffocation. And the contraction of the extensor and flexor muscles makes the body curl up as if curled sideways and sleepy, which is enough to prove that it is poisoned by the turtle. ”
Instead, she fell into a suspicion of the Traveler and the Organophosphorus, and almost let herself fall into a preconceived pit.
"In addition, I suspect that the murderer or his relatives are suffering from rheumatism or numbness and paralysis, so he can get enough medicine containing turtles. If the prince believes me, it is better to start looking for it from here. She paused, then continued, "But this is only my speculation, and if I want to be sure, I need to have someone study whether the residue in the stomach of the deceased contains this poison." ”
At this time, Xiao Qinglang had already followed Xu Chu's words and sorted things out, he glanced at the corpse and said in a deep voice: "First follow the clues of the turtle." ”
Xiao Qinglang didn't blindly believe Xu Chu, but when Xu Chu mentioned the turtle, he had already made a decision in his heart. Although the medicine of the turtle is strictly managed in the pharmacy of the medical hall, it is not a forbidden drug, and its rarity is naturally not as good as that of a forbidden drug in the palace such as arsenic. Therefore, if someone really wants to poison this, it is not that difficult.
The difficulty should be how the man poisoned him.
Thinking of this, Xiao Qinglang looked back at the two guards guarding Dong Ruiyang behind him, and asked, "When did Dong Ruiyang eat lunch, when did he lie down to sleep, and when did you two find or hear any strange movements when he fell asleep?" Like moaning, or seeing him have convulsions? ”
The two officers didn't look good now, after all, there was such a big mistake, how could they not be panicked in their hearts?
You must know that when Lord Wei was named by Lord Wei next to the prince to guard Dong Ruiyang yesterday, the two of them were still very excited in their hearts, and felt that this was a good time to behave in front of the prince. Therefore, since yesterday, the two of them have hardly left here, even if they are eating, they have hurriedly taken a few bites in front of the prison door.
However, even if he is so strictly guarded, Dong Ruiyang is still dead. What's more, not only did he die right under their noses, but he was most likely poisoned......
Now that they heard Lord Xu's inquiry, the two hurriedly recalled it carefully.
"Back to the prince's words, Dong Ruiyang ate at half of noon. Because Wu Laohan, who was cooking, was taken into custody by Lord Tang, he changed to a young man to deliver the meal. ”
"At that time, when we were interrogating the young man, it happened that Zheng Jiaotou was passing by, saying that Master Tang ordered the young man to come and deliver food, and he also gave the young man permission to bring him a pot of wine from outside."
After the younger official finished speaking, he shook his head with some remorse.
The other continued: "Because the news that the emperor wants to acquit Dong Ruiyang spread half a day ago, and there is a guarantee from Zheng Prison, so the two of us did not forcibly stop the guy from delivering food......
