Chapter 347

It's over, it's completely over. In an instant, he was slumped into his seat as if he had been sucked away, and even the officials who were holding him failed to pull him up.

"Oh yes, I forgot to tell you, according to the investigation of Dali Temple, there are traces of the use of explosives outside the collapsed dark room. And inside, there are corpses that do not belong to the girl's body...... Think for yourself. ”

"As for the Xuanyang Daoist, if you are willing to reduce the guilt, you can naturally confess his whereabouts and origins. If you insist on covering up, then the king is too lazy to talk to you. ”

After speaking, he moved away, and when he left the door, he kindly told the official on the side: "Master Dong is used to being a person who likes to enjoy, and later pack up this excellent red robe and white jade tea cup and send it to Master Dong's cell." ”

"Yes." Although the official who received the order was a little puzzled, he still respectfully complied.

After the official bowed and left, Xiao Qinglang instructed Wei Guang on the side: "Later, you go to Lord Tang to arrange, all those who have old grudges with the Dong family, or who have any involvement with the Dong family, are not allowed to get close to Dong Ruiyang for half a step." ”

"Yes." Without thinking too much, Wei Guang also thought of how many people wanted to let the Dong family cut off their children and grandchildren, not to mention that now that it was implicated in the last years of the first emperor, if someone wanted to kill Dong Ruiyang, it was not impossible.

What's more, the prince once said that the mastermind behind the scenes is best at using people's old grievances to break off the end. Thinking of this, he didn't dare to delay any longer, and hurriedly turned around to find a reliable guard to give orders.

When he left the autopsy room, Wei Guangcai said to Xiao Qinglang with a sad face: "Lord Wang, how can you drink the tea handed by Dong Ruiyang so easily?" What the Dong family did at the beginning, wasn't that one crazy and wanted to get rid of you? ”

It's not that he's cowardly, it's that the prince has too many old enemies, and he has to guard against it.

When he was in Cangyan County before, the prince ate Xu Chu's noodles without disgust, which made him feel uneasy for a long time, so that the fingers holding the handle of the knife turned white.

But he didn't expect that today's prince would still drink tea at the same table with the nephew of the enemy who wanted his life.

Xiao Qinglang rubbed his forehead a little uneasily, and listened to Wei Guang's advice, so he couldn't help but sigh and said, "Wei Guang, why are you nagging more and more?" Don't you feel that the errand is too leisurely, and wants to take the errand to hunt down the fugitives? ”

"Or, this king should really let Aunt Chu say a family affair for you, so as not to have too much energy for you."

Wei Guang's mouth that wanted to speak was directly half-opened, and he didn't spit out a word because of this sentence. He looked at the back of his prince striding away with some grievances, and sighed for himself.

Before he could catch up and say anything, he saw that his prince had already stepped into the autopsy room, and his posture and movements were as casual as if he was entering and exiting an ordinary restaurant and tea shop.

When he entered the door, he saw that the three of Cao Inspectors were fiddling with a pile of white bones with great interest, and from time to time asked Xu Chu to step forward and point.

In such a situation, needless to say, it must be the same as when she handed over the medical book to Aunt Chu and others.

Thinking about it, she became a registered servant as the daughter of the emperor, and then she was appreciated by the emperor because of the autopsy, and then became the only female official in the Great Zhou Dynasty who could go to court. Not to mention her legendary experience, her incomparable post-mortem knowledge is enough to impress several inquisitors who are also officials.

"In addition to the characteristics of the bones, pelvis and brow bones, which can clearly distinguish the sex of the skeleton, there are actually many other ways to distinguish them." Xu Chu said as he explained in detail.

Generally speaking, between the ages of 11 and 16, there is not much sex difference in bones.

As men grow and develop, their bones become longer, thicker, and heavier than women's. At the same time, compared to the thin and smooth bone surface of a woman, the bone surface of a man will be rougher and will have obvious protrusions.

Therefore, if the sex and age of the deceased are judged when the skeleton is incomplete, it can naturally be judged by examining the deceased's skull, mandible, long bones, etc.

In addition, there are some small differences, which can also narrow the age range of the deceased, and even deduce her origin, experience and living habits before her death. Just like the bones of the elderly are mostly loose, and the teeth and gums are more expressive. Or maybe the skeleton of the adult woman we found in the Lushan Annex, which can be determined at a glance to be of adulthood, but it is difficult to infer whether she had children, but I still assume that she is about 20 years old based on the condition of her bones. ”

"That's because, since the age of eighteen, the epiphyseal plate and the vertebral body begin to fuse, but the fusion of the deceased's epiphyseal plate and vertebral body has just started to trend. And the hip bones, which should have begun to fuse at the age of twenty-three or twenty-five, have not yet shown any signs of fusion. So, I concluded that she was about twenty years old. ”

"In addition, the Danding sect is good at alchemy, and is used to taking gold and stone medicine to cultivate. Therefore, I deduced that the cause of her death was most likely due to the death of a person she trusted who mixed the highly poisonous Heding red ginseng with the golden stone medicine she was taking. ”

Xu Chu explained extremely carefully, if it weren't for the fact that there were many bones under her eyes, I was afraid that she would be able to dissect a fresh corpse herself, and point out the differences between the scars on the corpse and the internal organs to Cao Xianguan and others.

In her opinion, although Cao Xianguan is a little pedantic and sophisticated, they do have real talent and learning. If they can really abandon their cautious temperament in the future and concentrate on the autopsy, then the efficiency of the three law divisions will also be greatly improved.

Inspector Cao and Xiao Mingzhu learned seriously, and their minds were very calm, but the remaining two inspectors were in a very complicated mood at this time. But I have to admit that the white bones in her hands are like fresh dead corpses, and there are many things to be verified.

It's not that they haven't encountered white bones before, but every time they can only test whether people have been seriously injured and whether they have broken bones before they die. But I didn't expect that in addition to these, there were still people who could see the white bone examination so vividly.

In this way, the two of them were annoyed that they were not good at learning and could not compare to a woman, and on the other hand, they were eager to listen to her explain in depth.

"Dare to ask your lordship, apart from the white bones, what is the importance of adults when examining the carrion? Is it just the experience of dissecting the corpse directly and examining its interior, or is it necessary to rely on other skills? The inspector surnamed Zhou, who was beside Inspector Cao, saw Xu Chu put down the white bones and was worried that she was leaving, so he hurriedly pointed to the two corpses that were already highly decomposed on the side and asked.

Even though the corpse had been washed with vinegar and left in the morgue overnight, it had once again oozing rotten blood and emitting a foul smell of decay.

However, Xu Chu didn't care, she walked to the side of the most corrupted girl's corpse, looked at the green and black flesh that had been eaten and gnawed by maggots and flies, and sighed and said, "Before examining the corpse, you might as well check the living creatures that have eaten its corpse." For example, maggots and other things. ”

"Extrapolating the time of death of the deceased based on the size of the maggot and the type of maggot is sometimes more reliable than observing the changes in the shape of the corpse with the naked eye. It is even possible to infer whether the deceased had been removed, buried, or thrown into the water based on the living creatures on the corpses...... If the living creature on her body is different from the maggots produced by the decay of ordinary corpses, we can even deduce the place of her death from the unusual little thing. As she spoke, she lifted her chin and motioned for a few people to look at the maggots and soil that Aunt Chu had inspected before. Of course, if there is a toxin in the maggot, it can also be inferred that the deceased had been poisoned before his death. ”

"I see, no wonder the adults didn't let the ......body be cleaned directly," Inspector Zhou said suddenly.

Before, he still felt that those things were very disgusting, and even almost all the works of Da Zhou, after finding the rotten corpse, the first thing he did was to clean the maggots and other things on it.

Therefore, even after many years of autopsy, he never thought to infer anything from the insects that gnawed on the corpse.

He got an explanation, and the horror in his heart gradually turned into admiration. To be honest, no matter how shocking it is for this Miss Xu to become the master of Dali Temple. At least in the matter of the autopsy, she really has a height that others cannot reach.

At this time, they can feel more and more that the prince's acquaintance is good for use. But as long as they are so outstanding, why worry about the day when they don't have a future, and even help some powerful people cover up for a little profit?

Xiao Qinglang didn't step forward to interrupt her, but stared intently at Xu Chu's intently guidance. He originally thought that she would only be so focused and solemn when she was performing an autopsy, and her mind was firm and not affected by others at all, but he didn't expect that even the autopsy technique that she was proud of could be taught to others so unstingily.

Because this corpse was autopsied by Xu Chu yesterday, she did not dissect it again today, but took off her gloves and said, "Let's get here first today, if there is another corpse, I will explain it again." If you have any doubts, let them find me, but whatever I know, I will not hide it. ”

In fact, when she dissected the corpse of the princess before, several examiners were in front of her. Now that I think about it, her technique was very skillful at that time, and her movements were smooth without a trace of hesitation, and the intricate meridians were skillfully avoided where she was born and stabbed. If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, who would have believed that the person holding the knife was only a woman over 20 years old?

The shock that day, which had not been born because of panic, gradually appeared in the hearts of the three inspectors at this time. Not to mention the side, it is her mastery of the eight veins of the strange meridians on the human body, as well as the impartial and impartial technique of dissecting the chest and abdomen, which is beyond the reach of them as examiners for half a lifetime.

Today, Xu Chu said very freely, compared to letting some people who don't know how to perform autopsies look at the corpse and listen to her words in the clouds. Or let everyone endure gaging and watch the autopsy, at this time the serious and non-heterogeneous examiners are obviously more compatible with her.

If she can hand over everything she has learned in her previous life to the three inspectors, and even spread it to the yamen in various places, it may be extremely effective in improving the autopsy technique of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Of course, she is not a selfless saint, but she feels that since she has crossed over here, she can't really achieve nothing.

If she compares calligraphy and painting to Qinqi, she is afraid that she can only be embarrassed, the poetry is different, and she doesn't understand Qinqi, so she really can't leave any breathtaking works. Therefore, the only thing you can rely on is what you know and others don't understand.
