Xu Chu glanced at Li Yanzuo and saw that he was dissatisfied, but he didn't despise her, but really thought that she was selling her reputation and taking the autopsy as child's play. Immediately, she was not angry, but stood up straight and pointed at Aunt Yang's face and said, "Although I am not sure why the deceased was slaughtered by others, the inference that others committed murder is beyond doubt. ”

Seeing that Li Cheng was arguing intentionally, she did not hesitate, and then said: "Except for a knife mark on the forehead, the remaining scars are of different depths, but there are no traces of the severity of the hand. It can be seen that the person who did it could not be the deceased himself. ”

If it was really her, then she would have caused the same scar because of the pain when she started, and the force at the lower hand was large and the force at the end was small.

Li Yanzuo took a few steps forward, and looked with her gaze, but saw that the tweezers had opened the wounds on her jaw and cheeks, revealing the depth inside, which was really very different from a knife on her forehead. This also made him, who was still angry and angry just now, a little dumbfounded.

The autopsy was in a hurry last night, and the deceased was a lady in the backyard of an adult, so he was somewhat evasive. Therefore, when examining the wound, it is not all carefully examined, but only recorded and speculated according to the deepest part of the forehead.

And now that I look at it, I really was careless. So the dumb Li Yanzuo, when he looked at Xu Chu again, he had a little more ashamed expression, and he didn't say anything more at the moment.

"In addition, there are tumbling marks on the edges of the wound, so I guess the real purpose of the murderer was not to disfigure the deceased......"

Xu Chu paused, looked at the somewhat rotten wounds that were torn and picked up, and said word by word: "The murderer wants to peel off her face!" ”

As her words fell, even the subordinates who were guarding the corpse not far away couldn't help but look back, and they couldn't react in a daze. When a cold wind blew, everyone's faces suddenly turned white, and they all shook their spirits.

Peel off the human face...... Could it be a female ghost with painted skin?

People in the world are very shy about ghosts, and if they encounter them, even if they don't see them with their own eyes, they will inevitably make up for their own brains. As a result, the room, which was not yet gloomy, also made people feel scary at this time.

But Xu Chu didn't care what kind of shadow her inference left in the hearts of others, she just thought carefully about the doubts in her heart. Since there were no obvious injuries on the surface of the body, and there were no blows and fractures on the deceased's body, she could only guess in her mind about the possible cause of death.

After a little thought, she directly pried open the lips and teeth of the deceased with tweezers, and looked at it carefully, and it was this look, of course, that made her find something suspicious.

"The deceased was blistered and festering!" She frowned for a moment, then probed the tweezers towards the deceased's throat, and after a moment, her dark eyes suddenly lit up, "There is a foreign object between the deceased's throat!" ”

She glanced back at Xiao Qinglang and saw Xiao Qinglang's head, so she neatly used a post-mortem knife to dissect the throat and neck of the deceased. With a solemn expression, she watched the skin on her neck be cut, and did not stop moving, but carefully pressed the tip of her knife against the hard object in the throat of the deceased.

"There are signs of severe burns and festering in the throat......" As her words fell, there was a thud as a hard object fell onto the plank where the body was kept. Yang Xi! ”

She took the tin in her hand, looked at it carefully, frowned slightly, and then waved her hand to prepare a stove and spoon to melt the tin. It's probably a habit of doing a job, even if there is only one thing that might be next to the tin block, she doesn't want to let it go.

You know, even if it is semi-melted, it is easier for a metal substance such as tin liquid to stick to some side things. Either hair or ...... Silk thread.

Although the cause of death was found, Xu Chu did not let go of his frowning brows. Her gaze swept over the corpse, and suddenly her gaze rested on her hair, which was sticky but not disheveled.

"It's so strange, why is the corpse so embarrassed, but the hair is in a neat bun?" She took off her gloves and subconsciously touched the corpse's hair, only to find that although the tips of the hair were stained with blood and sticky, there were traces of hair oil at the roots.

Because she felt weird, she took a special look at the deceased's makeup, but because she had wiped the blood on her face, she couldn't see the original makeup clearly. But when her gaze swept over the dead man's finger, she felt a little strange, and the finger seemed to be ......

"This Kodan is too rough, I have seen the pearl coated with Kodan, the impatiens with alum dyed color, ruddy and delicate for several days." Thinking of this, she simply took the fingers of the squatting down and holding the corpse and wiped it. Sure enough, after a while, the color was wiped off by a slightly damp plain cloth. "It's cinnabar ......"

Cinnabar is now quite versatile, it can be used as a woman's eyebrows, and it is mostly used for the color of literati danqing, or used to ward off evil spirits, and can even be used as medicine. In any case, however, no one has ever heard of anyone staining their nails with cinnabar.

At this time, Xu Chu covered the corpse with a white cloth, put away his toolbox, and the subordinate who was sent to burn the tin also brought a spoon. And this time, not only Xu Chu, but even others clearly saw that there was a small crescent-shaped hard object in it.

"It's nails." Xu Chu squinted his eyes and lifted the object with tweezers to look at it carefully, "It's pale pink, it should be the color left over from the melting of the Kodan dyed on it." Therefore, the murderer or accomplice is a woman. And it has a certain status, enough to use good Kodan, and it can be inferred that the murderer has a good living condition and good nutrition. ”

"And the murderer must have had a habit of biting her nails, and the nail she broke was turned upwards and grew sluggishly."

If Xu Chu's judgment before can still be understood, but the next few sentences make people involuntarily confused. They have never heard of a broken fingernail to deduce a person's behavior......

"What does Miss Chu mean by this?" Among those present, only Li Yanzuo was the most suitable to ask this question. Originally, the doubts in his heart became completely convinced after seeing Xu Chu's unblinking dissection.

Don't say it's him, even if it's his master, he probably won't be able to do Miss Chu's step. It is an autopsy, which can be done without thinking, and even directly to the point. This alone shows that her ability is above herself.

Seeing that he asked sincerely, Xu Chu did not hide it, and turned around and explained: "I once read a medical book, and the gentleman who wrote it has studied every organ in the human body, including nails. He said that the nail itself is a part of the body like skin, and the nerves are distributed on it, and if you are used to biting, the nail will leave a scar, and then it will grow long and sluggish. ”

As she spoke, she stood on her right thumb and said with a smile: "At that time, I didn't believe in this theory, so I experimented with the nail of my right thumb. After three years, I noticed that the nail of my thumb was really dull and the shape had changed......"

The action of biting nails actually hurts nerve endings, which are sensory receptors, so the act of biting nails will make the nails more and more paralyzed. Many people are so fond of biting their nails that they develop scar tissue, and the scar tissue damages the nail bed, so the nail that loses the nail bed will grow all the way up at an angle.

It's just that there are too many unfamiliar words in this kind of explanation, and it is too troublesome to explain. Fortunately, when the original body was still alive, because of his humble temperament, he tasted the nail that would bite his thumb to relieve his irritability, but it caused the nail to grow slowly. In this way, Xu Chu simply demonstrated by example, so that people could see it clearly.

Compared with the disgust of others, Li Yanzuo's expression at this time was extremely serious, and he was also very interested. In this way, Xu Chu is even more stingy with guidance, although she can't transmit more forensic knowledge to the brains of every servant in Da Zhou, but when she encounters someone who really wants to avenge the deceased, she is naturally willing to give advice.

"Although the main purpose of the work is an autopsy, it is also necessary to be familiar with medical science and toxicology. When you have a doubt, try your best to find the answer, knowing that the question you uncover may be the key to the case. ”

On the side, Xiao Qinglang's eyebrows moved slightly, and there was a smile in his eyes, he really liked Xu Chu's look at this time, as if he had found a direction worth paying for his life.

And Li Baizuo thanked him at this time, and then meticulously looked through the autopsy list that Xu Chu had examined. From the table to the inference and judgment, it is precise and meticulous, without the slightest perfunctory. Thinking of the autopsy sheet that he had recorded in a hurry last night, comparing this in his hand, he felt a sense of self-shame in his heart.

I originally thought that the silk flower was actually more sophisticated than my own decades-old autopsy. Although he didn't expect it, it didn't prevent him from being excited at this time. For the first time, he knew that the original autopsy list could be written like this, and it turned out that the pretentious could be acted like this.

However, before he could get excited, he saw that Xu Chu had already gotten up and led people to the place where the body was found last night.

Because of the high stakes, Song Derong had already blocked the back garden, and naturally the scene was not cleaned and destroyed. Now that Xu Chu and Xiao Qinglang came, they saw the lanterns on the ground that were not broken, and there were a pool of blood that had already dried up.

The scene is very simple, there is a dead tree, and there is an elegant small bamboo building behind it, and the bamboo building is adjacent to the pond and the hall corridor for people to rest. Further into the garden, it is close to the flower house of the Song Mansion.

She swept through the garden and found that there was no place next to it, such as rockeries and rocks, except for the center of the pool.

"You two saw someone suspicious at the time?" Xu Chu looked at the bloody hemp rope hanging from the branches of the dead tree, and found that the hemp rope had no features, as if the murderer had taken it from somewhere. After looking around like this, she didn't find any clues, so she could only look at the two people who were the first to find the bodies last night.
