Chapter 38: The Case of the White Bones (5) Autopsy
This time, if it weren't for the unbearable curse threat of the female shopkeeper, who brought her here, I am afraid that the matter would still have to be covered up.
In an instant, Xu Chu's mind swept over the wine urn under the osmanthus tree of the inn, and he remembered Jiang Dakui and Li Dai Taozhuang. It's like this group of people, who are used to being good at disguise, and are even better at changing identities, and then subtly become a character.
At this time, Li Zheng of Sujia Village, a neighboring village, was also brought over, and the person was an honest and honest common man at a glance. Although the environment was a little scary, he couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart. You must know that the biggest official in Sujia Village has been seen for generations, that is, the county master in the yamen.
"Su Li is asking for help, this king has called you here to ask a few words, you don't need to panic." As he spoke, Xiao Qinglang glanced at Xu Chu and motioned for her to ask.
Xu Chu was not hypocritical, and stepped forward and asked, "Uncle, what was this area used for before it became a mass grave?" ”
Su Lizheng didn't know what Xu Chu's identity was, but he thought that since she could talk in front of the prince, he was afraid that there would be something terrible, so he hurriedly bowed and bowed again.
"If you go back to the woman, this area was originally the cemetery of the village, and it is a cemetery where many people are buried." Su Lizheng replied respectfully and said, "I heard that the ancestral graves of many families in their village are here, but after the haunting, no one dared to come to worship, and it gradually fell into disuse." ”
Regarding the title of the female adult in Su Lizheng's mouth, Xu Chu still felt embarrassed. So when she spoke again, she said helplessly: "Uncle, I'm just a mediocre, not a woman." ”
"Yes, yes, yes." Although Su Lizheng was surprised, he also secretly glanced at the girl in front of him out of the corner of his eye, when did the Yamen have such a handsome female doll as a servant? However, due to the fierce guards and government soldiers around him, he was still respectful and almost nodded.
Xu Chu was helpless, but he was worried about the case, so he didn't continue to dwell on the issue of title.
"In addition to hearing about the haunting, what other rumors and rumors does the old man have here?"
"I don't know anything else, but I've heard from some bold people nearby that there will be Yin Si soldiers and horses here every night." As Suri spoke, his body shook a little. Just as a gust of wind blew, a whining sound echoed from the cave, and he was so frightened that his eyes rolled and he fainted.
"Uncle, uncle......" Xu Chu was the closest to him, so he was naturally the first to catch his approaching body and keep pinching him.
"Wei Guang, let him leave, and let the doctor prescribe some tranquilizers for him to boil and take." Xiao Qinglang pursed his lips and looked at the caves that had been opened by the guards.
If there are living people hiding here, where are those people now?
"Lord Wang, I'm afraid we have to inspect the untaken corpses in the wine urn as soon as possible. If I'm not mistaken, except for the hibiscus beauty bone in the mouth of the female shopkeeper, the rest should be court officials......" Xu Chu smiled bitterly, she knew in her heart that no matter what situation her father fell into, and whether she was intentional or not, she would never be at peace in the future.
When they returned to the backyard of the inn, the wine urns had been lifted out of the soil.
Xu Chu saw the corpse in the wine urn that she smashed open first. However, the corpse was placed in a wine urn buried in the ground, and although the mud seal was opened, it was not affected by the explosives too much, so it was well preserved.
The urn was empty, and burying it on the ground slowed down the decomposition of the corpse. However, even if it slows down, it will inevitably give birth to some maggots to eat.
Xu Chu took out the knife from his toolbox, carefully disposed of the maggots, and then examined the body surface.
"Clothes are messy and broken, and there are signs of struggle......"
"Changes in the face, mouth, nose, flanks, and chest, according to the changes in the four seasons and the underground burial, the deceased died at least half a month ago." Xu Chu quickly untied the official uniform that was stained with corpse water, and after checking it up and down to see that there was nothing wrong, he reached out and touched the bulge on the lower side of the corpse.
Xiao Qinglang's face remained unchanged, but the hands in his sleeves were subconsciously clenched. Just a pair of eyes, deep and inquisitive, regretful and awkward. In fact, he knew in his heart that this was just the process of the autopsy, and no matter who it was, even if it was him himself, he couldn't avoid it.
But for some reason, when it was Xu Chu's turn, he felt that this scene was a little dazzling. When he saw Xu Chuzhen bending down to play with that place, he finally turned his head to look away, and even raised his hand to rub his eyebrows rarely, slightly distressed.
And Xu Chu was obviously not disturbed, her eyes were deep, with rigor and solemnity, carefully examined for a moment, and then pinched the leg and the root of the yin (harmony) sac. But I saw that there was still a little hard/stiff there, and it did not fade for a long time. She frowned and continued, "There are no obvious fatal injuries around the body, and the lower body is firm/stiff, and there is residual essence/ye...... It was for the ...... of death."
Whoever has done too much of a man, and his spirit is exhausted, and he dies of his wife, the truth must not be overlooked. The true is impotent, and the false is impotent. To put it simply, it is actually a stroke, also known as sudden death of sexual (harmonious) intercourse. This situation mostly occurs in the process of love (harmony), when the stimulation is extremely intense, but the person suddenly dies, and it mostly occurs in the frail, sick, old and frail, or overdose of help-supporting drugs.
The person she inspected on her hand did not have the characteristics of mechanical death, nor did there be any signs of external force damage such as drowning and stamping. As it stands, the most likely thing is that he died.
In order to observe carefully, she even deliberately moved her position, facing the sun, and then lowered her head to close to the bulge for a closer moment.
"There is a strong smell of epimedium and musk outside the body, which lasts for a long time, and the corpse fluid reacts with maggots, it should be an overdose of the drug."
According to the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty, court officials were not allowed to set foot in Fengyue places, and violators were impeached or reprimanded lightly, and disgraced at worst. Especially the officials of the Ruzhou Yazhou government, because they can listen to the music to the sky, so they are more cautious.
According to the results of Xu Chu's inspection, it is speculated that this person is a state official, but he has used an overdose of love drugs that are commonly used between Qing/Lou, and I am afraid that his death is really not glorious.
For her bold actions, not only Xiao Qinglang's face was gloomy, but even Wei Guang and the others widened their eyes in surprise, and their eyes of disbelief kept sweeping over her and the corpse.
Especially Wei Guang, Miss Xu is really bold in her heart, and she is not taboo at all about the difference between men and women. But looking at the meaning of the prince, it seems that he is still conniving. He has been following the prince for a long time, and he inevitably found that the prince was standing stiffly, the hand behind him was slightly clenched, and the autumn wind was surging, which made him feel an inexplicable breath that no one should enter. Wei Guang couldn't help but feel awkward in his heart.
However, before he could react, he saw that Xu Chu had already taken the autopsy knife with his hands and feet, and he divided it by two in the chest cavity of the corpse and saw a Ya-shaped incision from the chest cavity to the groin. In just a moment, the corpse that was still corpse was already like a slaughtered lamb, opening its chest and abdomen to reveal its internal organs.
The sound of the autopsy knife cutting through the flesh is more terrifying than the imaginary maggot gnawing sound, and even makes many people's scalps numb and their throats nauseated.
But when everyone avoided looking away, Xiao Qinglang looked at him with a complicated face. Although it is said that when the weight is urgent, he can dissect a corpse, but he can really be as calm and calm as Xu Chu, and he can easily do it without hesitation, but he can dissect it everywhere, and he has really never seen one. Even if she is a coroner who has worked as a coroner for a lifetime, I am afraid that she may not be able to compare with her.
I saw that the autopsy knife in Xu Chu's hand was like a life, and it traveled between the viscera with great precision, and as the gloved hands went up, he saw Xu Chu's white wrists under the slightly rolled up sleeves. The cold and sharp blade, accompanied by the whiteness of the white skin, made the scene that should have been a horror a little more beautiful.
In fact, even if everyone insists on not gagging, they will inevitably sneak a few glances, after all, a woman who is not more than ten years old really meticulously autopsy and autopsy, which is something that ordinary people dare not think of. So fear mixed with curiosity, after all, many people gritted their teeth and looked at it a few times.
But I saw that the scene that should have been bloody and fleshy did not appear, but a putrid stench gushed out, and then a dark black liquid gradually oozed out.
Wei Guang gritted his teeth and didn't dare to move, for fear that if he moved a little, he would lose his composure in front of the prince. And Cui Husheng couldn't hold it back for a long time, just when Xu Chu checked the situation of the five organs, he smelled the rancid smell, and directly covered his mouth and ran away, and then a gagging sound sounded......
Xu Chu didn't care about the eyes of others, and only focused on checking the traces left by the corpse. There is no defect in the heart, there is no sign of poisoning in the body, the bones are complete and undamaged, and although there are maggots in the internal organs, it is not difficult to see that they are still intact.
In this way, the possibility of sudden death from the disease is ruled out. But it is more and more certain that he has done death.
Xiao Qinglang looked at the disembowelment corpse, and suddenly thought of the file about Xu Yanzuo that he had read, and the clues of many cases were inferred from the corpse. There is food in the stomach and internal organs, but now seeing Xu Chu's familiar and calm appearance, he can't help but wonder, those cases are really just Xu Chengzuo's unintentional cracking?
What about Xu Chu, how could he have such superb autopsy skills?
He fought on the battlefield when he was a child, and later joined the Three Law Divisions, and saw countless corpses. Only Xu Chu dissected the corpse like this, with more than one knife and a lot of knives, and could carefully distinguish the wounds of the corpse and the cause of death, this time it was the first.
"The deceased had no cardiovascular and cerebrovascular abnormalities, and sudden death of emergency was ruled out." Xu Chu said as he quickly sutured the incision that had just been cut in its original state, "There are suspected scratch marks on the back and shoulder blade skin, which were left by Xu when he was in love." ”
