Chapter 312: Cause of Death

And now it seems that this woman ...... It's really as rumored to be...... Without restraint.

You know, this is the corpse of the princess, if she can find out something to say, but if she can't find something, she will inevitably be embarrassed by this. No, it shouldn't just be difficult, Xu will bring her and the prince with attacks and accusations from people with ulterior motives.

However, looking at the meaning of the prince, he doesn't seem to care about it. No, it's not that you don't care, it's that you trust.

For a moment, they couldn't tell whether to be ashamed or worried. In the end, that gaze involuntarily moved with the movements of Xu Chu's hand.

Even if they were in Cao Si, there were only a few corpses that could be dissected. Even if there is, it must have nothing to do with the eunuchs and the rich and noble. In fact, the work of the Great Zhou Dynasty has always been like this, and in the case of not being able to get ten out of ten, it will never be easily dissected, even if it has the permission of the saint, it will be cautious about this matter.

After all, once the cause of death cannot be found, it is not just an offense. I'm afraid that my face as an inspector for decades will be lost.

Although they are still suspicious of Xu Chu's autopsy that they can find out the inside story. But when she saw her slashing the deceased's internal organs and mucous membranes, she had to admit that her skills were exquisite.

In fact, it wasn't just Xiao Qinglang who didn't care, even the guards and others who came with Xiao Qinglang didn't have a surprised and stunned expression at Xu Chu's actions. Even though some of them unconsciously looked away, it seems that they have long been accustomed to her autopsy methods.

There was even a guard who pursed the corners of his mouth early and held his breath......

Sure enough, the moment he held his breath, Xu Chu took out the deceased's stomach. Without any hesitation, she cut her stomach open. In an instant, the smoky stench came to the face, making the faces of the inspectors watching from close range difficult to look at.

However, Xu Chu was completely unaware, and directly poured the remaining contents of the stomach into a container that he didn't know when to take it out.

"Normally, it takes about three hours for the stomach to fully digest food, and the digestion time of meat, vegetables, and rice is different. Of course, after death, the stomach will also have a certain period of peristalsis. I also extrapolate from the time of the deceased's death, and it is only two hours before a normal person has breakfast, so she may be able to find something useful in her stomach. ”

The so-called gastrointestinal peristalsis after death is not a strange thing. To put it simply, it is a normal phenomenon. It's like sometimes when a person's hands and feet are suddenly cut off, those hands and feet will curl up.

Xiao Qinglang looked at the eyes of the four inspectors looking at Xu Chu, from the initial dislike, to the later cautiousness, and then to the faint joy now, and his heart was a little calmer. can do what the old inspector can't do, that's all, even if the inspector Cao has these thirty years of experience, he has to bow down to Xu Chugan.

As for the rectification of the three law divisions in the future, he is not in a hurry for a while, and he has already had a candidate.

Xu Chu didn't know that Xiao Qinglang, whose expression remained unchanged, had already remembered several people who had been shamelessly questioned in the investigation of the case. At this time, she was carefully distinguishing some of the rotten food and mucus pouring out of her stomach.

"Green vegetable residues, scattered rice grains, and ......" Xu Chuzheng said, suddenly picking up a small piece of unknown things with tweezers, and after carefully identifying them, she frowned and said, "It's not like eating ......"

When she put it in the white handkerchief, she found something that contained four more grains or fine-leaved rhizomes. At this time, she had a faint suspicion in her heart, if it wasn't food, then the most likely thing was medicine.

It's just that what kind of drug it is and where it comes from will need to be tested later. Besides, she didn't specialize in it after all, and the current conditions were not as convenient as those in the laboratory. Therefore, she thought about taking it back to the palace and asking Aunt Chu to help identify it.

After dissecting the deceased's stomach, she turned her gaze to the uterus. At this time, without dissection, everyone can easily see the slight increase in amplitude. Normally, this would not be possible unless you are pregnant.

However, to achieve this level of swelling, I am afraid that the deceased will be at least two months pregnant.

Xu Chu cut open the uterus of the deceased with the tip of a knife, and saw that there were strips of flesh the size of poppy seeds in it. Extrapolating by its size, it has already begun to take shape.

In fact, if the corpse is not kept in the ice cellar, according to the law of the four seasons of the corpse, in two days, the unformed child in the womb will also be squeezed out of the body of the deceased due to the bacteria caused by the degradation and decay of the corpse.

If there is a delay, maybe that small strip of flesh and blood will only turn into a pool of blood in the end.

"The deceased was pregnant, and it should have been more than two months."

Xiao Qinglang silently calculated the itinerary of the envoys in his heart, and according to the spy report, two months or so, they had already entered the junction of the Great Zhou and Northern Xinjiang. In other words, the deceased should have become pregnant after entering the Great Zhou......

Not to mention the side, just this point, even if the envoys of Northern Xinjiang were killed in the Great Zhou, they were always unreasonable. After all, they came this time to seek peace and court, and announced to the outside world that they had elected the most noble and the most icy princess and relatives of the Northern Xinjiang Imperial Court. As it turned out, the woman was not perfect, and she was pregnant with someone else's offspring.

This matter, to put it mildly, is the princess's private life disorder. However, once the Great Zhou was investigated and asked for an explanation from Northern Xinjiang, it would be to despise the Great Zhou royal family and despise the Great Zhou. When the time comes, none of the 17 countries in northern Xinjiang will be able to escape their involvement.

If Da Zhou threatens with this as a condition, or even sends troops, it is not impossible.

Obviously, everyone present also knew about this, so at this time, the faces that were slightly invisible were much better. even faintly felt that his family could finally raise his eyebrows in the aggressive questioning of the envoys of northern Xinjiang.

If they dare to make noise like this again, they will have to lift this ugly ugly. It is also so that they know how to survive with their tails between their legs in the Great Zhou.

Just when he was silent, Xu Chu's eyebrows suddenly raised imperceptibly, "Perhaps, this is the real reason for the deceased's death." ”

She used a post-mortem knife to remove the deceased's heart, and then leaned over to look at a place above the heart, and after careful identification, she said slowly: "The deceased, the heart is significantly smaller than normal, and the perimeter of the aortic root is narrow, and the thymus above the heart is hypertrophied. Therefore, it is highly likely that the deceased had thymus hypertrophy and lymphatic constitution. In the current situation, when the body of the deceased did not react with the stomach with poison, and the wounds on the body were not enough to be known, it is enough to infer that he died suddenly. ”

The so-called thymic lymphatic constitution is one of the diseases that are most likely to cause sudden death. Its biggest feature is thymus hypertrophy, of course, it is also manifested by systemic lymphoid tissue hyperplasia, the heart is smaller than normal, and the diameter of the aortic root is narrow. Sudden death may be caused by undesirable stimuli, agitation, startle or slight external force blows, which is a non-hereditary allergic disease.

In addition, under normal circumstances, there are only four types of body death: death from mechanical injury, such as organ rupture, death from massive blood loss, etc.; Death by mechanical asphyxiation, such as strangulation, drowning, etc.; the third is poisoning death, such as the poison of Heding Red and the poison of Zhai Bulu; The last one is sudden death from diseases, such as death from ruptured aneurysms, sudden death from cardiovascular diseases, and so on.

At present, the first three possibilities of this corpse have been ruled out, and the physical characteristics found in the autopsy are enough to prove that it died suddenly due to physical diseases.

The trigger is most likely related to the injury on her forehead.

"Is it certain that it was an accidental sudden death or that it was man-made?"

Xu Chu shook his head, put the deceased's five internal organs back, and then carefully sewed the zigzag knife under his chest.

She said: "It cannot be ruled out that it is man-made, after all, the murderer set up this situation with suspicion, and it is obviously carefully planned." ”

She paused, looked up at Xiao Qinglang and asked, "Has the prince seen the scene?" ”

Xiao Qinglang nodded, "This king has already been to the pavilion where the incident occurred yesterday, but it is not the scene of the crime. Although there were blood stains on the stone steps, there were no traces of impact splattering. ”

After he finished speaking, his cold gaze glanced at Inspector Cao again, and said with a smile: "This king also feels very strange, how does Hua Wuxian lie on the ground and hit the deceased's head, so that the blood on his forehead can be splashed all over his arms. Why don't you answer the questions of this king? ”

Inspector Cao really wanted to die at this time, he just adhered to the principle that more things are better than less. Moreover, when he went to the autopsy, the little father-in-law who came to deliver the message did tell him some words, saying that it was the meaning of the saint.

As we all know, Prime Minister Hua now has a high prestige in the court, and his sister-in-law is rich, and now he has to marry the county lord as his wife. partial, the county lord is from the Qi Wangfu, who holds the military power of the Great Zhou......

Everyone knows that if the Hua family marries the Qi Palace, then the world's military power and property will be complete. If the king of Qi has objections...... That Great Zhou will be unstable.

In this case, how could he doubt the words of the little father-in-law?

Even if there is no emperor's will, and it is not Liu Deming and Liu Gonggong, who are often by the emperor's side, who may go out of the palace at this time to spread the word, it will definitely not be a little eunuch with a low status. Maybe it's the emperor's henchman and father-in-law......

Under Xiao Qinglang's rather coercive gaze, he couldn't help but turn pale and sweat rippled, and finally didn't hold on and fell to his knees.

"Lord Wang...... The prince spared his life...... The subordinates really have a last resort, and this matter should not be told to outsiders. There was something hinting in his words.

He is in the Three Law Division, so he naturally knows how sensitive Xiao Qinglang is, normally speaking, when his words fall, even if Xiao Qinglang has thousands of dissatisfactions, he will not pursue it again.
