Because of the uproar about Zhang's death, there was nothing to say, so Huang County ordered to take care of the corpse extremely carefully. It happened that it was winter again, but the corpse, which was not fresh, was very well preserved.

Xu Chu asked people to bring clean water, and carefully used cotton cloth to scrub the neck, wrists, and even the back of the hips and back of the corpse that had lost their clothes and skirts. She did it very carefully, and the plain white slender fingers that took off the gloves were not exquisite, but they were particularly eerie and dazzling on the green, lifeless corpse.

In the quiet autopsy room, at this time, only the sound of Xu Chu twisting the cotton cloth in the clear water spread out like a ghostly nightmare, and it became more and more terrifying when the cold wind poured into the door.

It was quiet all around, and everyone looked at Xu Chu quietly, and he didn't dare to open his mouth to disturb at all, only occasionally hearing a few gasping sounds.

But just as her fingers touched Zhang's thigh, she suddenly stopped. It's a strange touch, it's not smooth, and it's really a little different from the skin on Zhang's back. It's like...... It's like a layer of orange peel that is not obvious.

The autopsy room is located in the northwest of the Yamen murder position, at this time the sun sets, the afterglow shines through the large window of paper, and between the floating dust rolling, Xu Chu can clearly see that the lines under his hands are obviously silver-white scar lines. Xu is because the Zhang family is dead, and the place that should be shiny is gray and lifeless at this time.

She was stunned for a moment, then lifted the white cloth that the deceased's upper body had covered to avoid secrecy, and then carefully examined her breasts (harmony) and belly fat.

Seeing Xu Chu uncover the white cloth again, the officials and the catchers turned back again in embarrassment, even if they had improper intentions, they didn't dare to think about it. It's been too long since people died, and the original fair skin has long been dark and yellow, and the roundness is also an inch of the heart, as well as the suture scars left after being dissected, plus the pitted wounds on the body, just looking at it makes people feel cold in their hearts, not to mention the side.

It's just that taboo is taboo, and a group of big men watched a female servant act on the naked body of a female corpse, which was still quite visually impactful. That is, Xu Chu's expression was too solemn, and Xiao Qinglang's extravagance on the side made them dare not show anything, otherwise they would have to have some obscene thoughts.

The old man is a person who has been dealing with corpses all the year round, but because of the difference between men and women, he still coughed dryly, and his eyes were in a trance, and he didn't dare to take a closer look.

And Xu Chu didn't care about others, she bent down to look at the abdomen, carefully distinguished, and after she was sure in her heart, she pressed Zhang's breast (harmony) room a few times without hesitation. After a while, he turned to Xiao Qinglang and Huang Xianling and said, "My lord, it's so annoying to let irrelevant people retreat for the time being." ”

The deceased is the greatest, and the public autopsy is already considered bold, not to mention what she said next, it will also cause greater trouble, and even make Zhang's death unpeaceful.

The only few officials in the autopsy room and the arrester who supported Huang County's order were eager to leave as early as when Xu Chu was conducting the autopsy.

After arriving at the coroner's room, only Xiao Qinglang and Huang County Ling and the old man were left, Xu Chucai said while covering it with mashed green onions: "The deceased Zhang's waist and legs have pregnancy scars, although they are covered by corpse spots, but if you look carefully against the backlight, you can still see the furrows clearly. When you touch it, you will also feel uneven...... It can be preliminarily concluded that the deceased had a history of childbirth or miscarriage! ”

"How is this possible, the Zhang family has not given birth, and Yu Fugui has no heirs!" Huang Xianling didn't expect Xu Chu to suddenly come up with such a paragraph, jumped to his feet in shock, and said again and again, "This official has checked before, she has never been pregnant since she became a parent, and Yu Fugui has been ridiculed by outsiders for this matter." ”

Xu Chu frowned, glanced at the old man with a strange look but listened carefully to the results of her test, and said, "Senior, do you want to come forward and take a look?" ”

As soon as her words fell, Xiao Qinglang couldn't help but chuckle silently. Sure enough, this is the female maid Xu Chu, regardless of men and women for the autopsy, meticulous and serious, every word is enough to convince people.

Although the old man felt that he had learned something, he still couldn't do it if he really looked at the abdomen of the female corpse without any scruples like her. So, when Xu Chu came over, he said with a calm face: "If a woman is pregnant and needs to be checked, she should come by Wen Po." ”

Xu Chu nodded, and then said: "Looking at the stretch marks and the thickness of the belly fat, this matter is far apart, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to find out anything after looking for a stable wife." ”

What's more, after she had just touched the position of the deceased's uterus, she suddenly had some side thoughts. If a woman induces labor or has a miscarriage in the early months, it will often cause uterine damage, and once it is not cleaned up, it is difficult to get pregnant.

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, it was often said that unfilial piety is the greatest, and generally speaking, if a woman marries but has never given birth, it is as if she can't stand in her mother-in-law's family. So, in general, unless a man speaks out of concern for the woman or because he cares for the young age of the bride, there are very few people who have children later.

And she had seen the other six autopsy lists, as well as the files and detailed records of the medical hall, but she had never seen the time when Zhang sought medical treatment for this purpose. Even, sometimes she has palpitations or dizziness and cold, she just asks the doctor to prescribe some common cold medicine, and she is not used to letting people diagnose her pulse closely.

Thinking of this, she had a faint guess in her heart, as for whether this was the case, she would have to wait for the autopsy before making a judgment.

Between the words, she had already cleaned up some of Zhang's abnormal parts. Then he took the white onion and carefully mashed it and put it on it, and covered it with rice paper soaked in vinegar.

"I wonder what this is for?" Although the old man had doubts, looking at Xu Chu's autopsy methods and cautious appearance, he somewhat believed that she had some real skills. Now seeing that she is pounding onions and applying vinegar, she is naturally full of doubts in her heart.

Usually, in order to get rid of the smell of corpses, the coroner often sprinkles vinegar or smokes vinegar. Even if the autopsy sometimes smeared vinegar on the corpse to reveal the scars, it was rare.

It was the first time he had seen Xu Chu who was as busy as cooking, and it was unheard of.

Seeing that the old man asked sincerely, Xu Chu did not hide his selfishness, and after covering the rice paper, he explained: "Both vinegar and liquor can penetrate into the skin of the corpse, so that the scars that have not been revealed after death can be revealed." The use of green onion white is because the sulfide contained in it can lighten the color of the skin, and make the scars more obvious. ”

The old man's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he didn't care about the inexplicable contempt and indignation before, and hurriedly asked: "But what if the scar is on top of the green corpse spot and is not conspicuous?" ”

"Generally speaking, after applying green onion white and vinegar to the wound, there will be two results. First, the marks appear. If you are worried that you will see something wrong, you can test the scar with water droplets, because the skin and flesh of the scar are harder, and the water droplets will stagnate, so you can distinguish the real injury. The skin and flesh of the false wound are soft, and the water droplets will flow away. ”

The method of dressing the corpse with green onion white vinegar is not achieved overnight, but requires the vinegar and green onion white juice to penetrate under the surface of the corpse before it works. While waiting, Xu Chu mixed the white plum cake in his hand with green onions, Sichuan peppers, and salt and mashed them together, and then kneaded them into slices and roasted them on the brazier in the corner of the autopsy room that was no longer steaming.

"If this method is not available, then carry the corpse to a bright place, and observe it with new red silk or red oil-paper umbrellas, and the scars will naturally be visible. If it is a cloudy day, you can also use charcoal fire to isolate the light, and the effect is the same. ”

She explained it carefully, but because the technique of steaming bones and boiling corpses was too amazing, after being specially mentioned by Xiao Qinglang last time, she didn't dare to teach others easily.

"If there is neither bright sunlight nor rainy weather as it is now, you can mash it with white plum meat mixed with green onions, Sichuan peppers, and salt, and then roast it on the fire, and then heat it on the suspected scar, and the scar will show after a while."

The old man listened to her strange words, and I really didn't know whether it was true or not, but after seeing her open the rice paper soaked in vinegar, she saw some scars under the green onion. Immediately, all unspoken doubts were replaced by astonishment, and even a faint sense of strange joy, as if he had really learned some great means.

After Xu Chu saw the scars, he didn't try to use water drops. It's not that she can't, but because Xiao Qinglang and Huang Xianling are not doing each other, there are many deviations in the naked eye, so she simply put the hot white plum cake on top of those scars.

Her eyes were dark, and she looked at the scars on the corpse and guessed in her heart what happened that day.

According to the previous autopsy list, as well as the case file and the drawings of the scene, Zhang was found dead of anger at that time, and he was lying face down on a pile of broken vase porcelain.

In addition to the many wounds on the body, there are also sharp pieces of porcelain that penetrate deep into the heart socket and completely sink into the chest.

However, her autopsy revealed that the deceased did not die of a stroke, but of a fatal wound to the chest. After that, there were a lot of porcelain pieces on his body. But looking at the scars of different shades, it doesn't look like an act of anger.

If man is already dead, why bother? If it is not to vent anger, then the only reason is the same as pouring boiling water on the wound, to divert attention and confuse the results of the autopsy.

The experimental corpse is here, and the murderer can basically be traced. After all, in the rich mansion, when there are maids and maids, no one can see anyone who goes to the kitchen to boil water and leaves.

To find out about this case, it is only necessary to summon the subordinate who works in the kitchen of the family to the government for careful interrogation.

It's just that Xu Chu's autopsy has always been reluctant to save half a minute for solving the case, since he wants to conduct an autopsy, even if the murderer can already be determined, the body must be inquest to the extreme. Let the murderer have nothing to say at all. Second, some corpses can directly tell the living the motive, process and follow-up of the murderer's murder.
