Chapter II
Xu Chu glanced at him, his heart suddenly trembled, and he looked at him sharply. As for the man's handsome face, and the eyes that were like a cold night, they didn't attract much attention from her. The left and right have nothing to do with herself, and in her eyes, Xu is not as attractive as the fifty taels of silver.
Then no one spoke, and Xu Chu also checked the corpse slightly, and then quickly untied the mourning clothes on the young lady of the Qian family. With her movements, the corpse was quickly stripped naked, and several people nearby also took a few steps back awkwardly, leaving only the man with a noble temperament and Old Madam Zhao did not move an inch.
Everyone secretly looked at Xu Chu, and saw that her expression was calm, without the slightest expression, and they couldn't help but turn their eyes to the man who was recording carefully, but saw that the man's eyes were flat and didn't think of any evil thoughts at all, so they couldn't help but silence and wait.
"The deceased Qian Zhang, twenty years old, female, six feet two inches tall." Xu Chu's eyes were gloomy, and he meticulously inspected Mrs. Qian's body, and then touched the top of her head, sideburns, temples, and behind her ears, and after making sure that there was nothing abnormal, he continued in a deep voice,
"The body surface is flat and there are no scars, no fatal injuries, there are bleeding spots in the eyes and face, bruised fingertips, and there are symptoms of suffocation. There were no injuries to the mouth and nose, and no abnormal injuries were found on the neck. ”
As she reached out and turned the limbs of the corpse without any taboos, the flat and indifferent voice continued to sound, "The joints can be rotated, the corpse appears giant-like, the cornea is cloudy into white patches and the pupils are unrecognizable, and the time of death is preliminarily determined to be around noon on the third day of September......"
"There is no damage to the chest cavity...... Xu Chu's hand followed his gaze and pressed on Mrs. Qian's chest and abdomen, and he looked at her lower body neatly, "There is no sexual intercourse or signs of aggression." ”
As her words came out one by one, everyone's faces became more and more complicated, especially looking at Xu Chu as if they had seen some kind of monster.
Next, just when the man was about to stop writing, he saw Xu Chu start to use tweezers to check the nail seams and the position of Mrs. Qian's mouth. But I saw that her eyes were calm and cautious, her expression was solemn, and she did not give any details in her carefulness. With skillful techniques, and the test results are even better than the old inspectors who have been doing it for decades.
This surprised the strange man slightly.
"There are unknown silk fibers sewn between the nails......" Xu Chu paused for a rare moment, as if he was thinking. Later, she carefully flipped Mrs. Qian over, but she couldn't help but let out a "huh" after a while. The originally calm eyes suddenly changed, and then he bent down and approached the corpse to look at it carefully.
"What's wrong?" Before she knew it, the strange man behind her was already standing side by side with her.
"There's a distinctly pale mark in the spot." Xu Chu frowned, "There are white indentations on the back, and the surrounding corpse spots are lighter...... It may be the result of the deceased being pressed or violently coerced during his lifetime. ”
As soon as these words fell, let's not talk about how the man who opened his mouth reacted, that is, the young master of the Qian family, Qian Shicai, had already changed his face. On the Zhang family's side, the old lady had already cried and turned her back on her breath, even though the whole person was groggy, the slightly trembling body also showed her uneasiness and sadness, and the old man of the Zhang family frowned directly, gritted his teeth and asked the side: "Zhao Yanzuo, you swore that my daughter died of an emergency." ”
Originally, Zhao Yanzuo was still an old god, but as Xu Chu's movements fell, his expression changed slightly, and his eyes were full of incredulity. Although he had heard that the woman in front of him had helped Xu Qizuo solve a few cases, it was all hearsay, and it was already ridiculous and generous to have a woman perform an autopsy, let alone a goddess detective.
However, right now, he was sweating lightly on his forehead, and he would no longer suspect that Xu Chu was just a master of fame and reputation. After all, where would a woman in an ordinary family look at a corpse like a flower? I can't count all the hairs.
As soon as he thought of his carelessness at the time of the autopsy, he couldn't help beating a drum in his heart, and as Xu Chu began to say the exact time of death, he felt uneasy in his heart. But I still don't believe that she will find any problems, after all, not everyone who is the young grandmother of the Qian family has the ability to get close, not to mention that there are a lot of maids and mothers-in-law around the young grandmother, if it is really dangerous, how can it not attract people's attention?
Zhao Yanzuo didn't dare to take it lightly, and the previous slackness and disdain were gradually replaced by worry, and he watched Xu Chu's every move intently.
But no matter how many thoughts he had in his heart, he was stunned at the moment, especially when he was scolded by Master Zhang, he was even more flustered, "What mark, why don't I know?" Aren't you here to spread rumors and make trouble, to confuse the public? ”
Xu Chu glanced at Zhao Yanzuo, and said with a cold gaze: "Prison affairs are not more important than the big love, the big love is not more important than the first love, and the first love is not more important than the test." Cover the power of life and death, and the opportunity to bend and stretch, so it is decided. How serious is an autopsy, and how can it spread rumors? Zhao Cheng did the autopsy at the beginning, and only saw that there were no injuries on the body, so it was judged to be a violent death, so let me ask you, have you studied "Doubtful Prison Collection", "Broken Prison Tortoise Jian", and "Record of Clearing Grievances"? Do you know that the vinegar coating method? Can you know the white plum cake back baking method? is so familiar, and even you can get a glimpse of one or two methods in the play, you have no try, no investigation, how can you say that you are carefully examined? ”
The woman's back straightened, her eyes condensed, "I don't know how you found out about the sudden death, but you also know that human life is a matter of heaven, you can't be lucky, if it weren't for the traces of oppression in the corpse spots three days later, how do you know that this will not be a grievance?" ”
"You...... You are really sharp-toothed, I can't talk about you, so how do you know that Mrs. Qian didn't get it at noon? Zhao Yanzuo's face turned pale, stared at Xu Chu, clenched his fists and struggled to force himself, "Even if I have been doing it for decades, I may not be able to determine the time so clearly, not to mention that it has been three days since Mrs. Qian's accident, and the corpse spots on the corpse can no longer be used as a basis for judgment." ”
"Who said that the time of death can only be examined to see the corpse spots?" The woman squinted at Zhao Yanzuo, not wanting to continue to entangle with him. It is thought that most of the works are autopsies for butchers, and even many storytellers have said that they are "scars of misconduct, upside down, and so on; If there is a serious case, they will all be dumbfounded." If this continues, even if you pretend to be upright, it is really inevitable that there will be unjust judgments. Thinking of this, she shook her head slightly and continued.
"Meridian Mao You pinched the middle finger, Chen Xu ugly end palm Shu, Yin Shen Sihai fist hand, the dead are not bad when they die." Xu Chu took off the gloves on his hand, only to see that she didn't say a word, and reached out to raise Mrs. Qian's arm. The corpse was already green and lifeless, and it was really strange compared to the slender white, jade-white fingers that held her. It's just that Xu Chu herself didn't care at all, she just concentrated on pressing the corpse's palm twice, and said, "This method is the simplest way to judge." If the joint is soft, it can also be judged by corneal corpse spots. ”
Zhao Chengzuo was first taught a lesson by a junior and a woman, and he was already ashamed, and wanted to refute the sarcasm, but found that the words were fine, and said that the ancients' autopsy classics were even more treasured, and he couldn't find half a reason to refute it at all.
And Xu Chu no longer looked at Zhao Yan, whose face turned red and his expression was complicated, he just turned his head to look at the young master of the Qian family and asked, "I don't know what the young lady was doing at that time?" And who is waiting? "Because of his livelihood, Xu Chu is not too cold in life, but in front of people like Zhao Chengzuo, he will be sharper because of the habits of forensic medicine in the two lives. At this time, since the case is to be investigated, it is natural that the words will not be blunt, but a little more polite.
"It's Ya Niang's side maid Ying'er who is waiting, and now that the house is in a panic, I'll let the people under me press people in the firewood room first, if the girl wants to see her, I'll let people bring her over."
Since Xu Chu was invited by the Zhang family, although he was not an official officer, the Qian family did not dare to be contemptuous at this time. Especially in the eyes of Old Man Zhang who is still eyeing and hating people and can't choose people, Young Master Qian doesn't dare to be presumptuous.
So it was natural to see Ying'er, but when he saw Ying'er's appearance and figure, Xu Chu couldn't help but be stunned. Except for Ying'er's embarrassment of being tied up by five flowers, as well as the red and swollen scars on her cheeks, there is actually a slight resemblance between her eyebrows and Mrs. Qian. However, thinking of how affectionate men are in the world today, especially slave women, it doesn't matter if they are slaves and maids, they will be abused and bullied by the male master of the family at any time. If Ying'er and Mrs. Qian Shao really have a sisterhood, it is not uncommon.
"Are you the maid Ying'er who serves the young lady? It was married from the Zhang family? ”
"The slave maid is Ying'er, who has been serving in front of the young lady since she was a child." Na Ying'er Xu was frightened, and she seemed to be tortured and full of grievances, and now she couldn't help sobbing when she saw that Xu Chu and Yan Yuese were not about to kill her.
"Will you be close to the young lady that day?"
On weekdays, the slaves and maids followed the young lady to serve, but on that day, the young lady said that she was irritable and asked the slave and maid to go to the kitchen to ask for a bowl of bird's nest porridge. The slave maid thought that it would take a while to get the bird's nest porridge, so she went to look for Aunt Xun who took care of the back door and had a few glasses of wine. When the slave and maid went back again, the young lady had already gone out, as if she was going to buy rouge. Ying'er cried, "Later, the young lady has been resting in the house, just after noon, the slave maid was uncomfortable, and she also bothered Mama Zhang to help enter the house to take care of the young lady. Later, the slave maid was in better health, and asked the grandmother to know that the young lady was still resting and did not go in to disturb it, until it was getting dark, and the slave and maid were not at ease before entering the house to check, but found that the young lady was ...... The young lady has ......"
After speaking, Ying'er began to cry.
And Young Master Qian, who was outside the screen, also spoke tiredly at this time: "Afterwards, I sent someone to take care of Ying'er, and I couldn't ask the next words." After reporting to the official, the county magistrate also sent someone to inquire about the rouge shop, and the shopkeeper also confirmed that Yaniang had indeed been there. ”
