Chapter 311: Strange Appearance of the Corpse (2)

Her eyes were slightly cold, and she said as she examined it, "According to the wound on the deceased's forehead, if it is really fatal, and it is caused by the playboy dragging his hair and hitting it violently, then the deceased's cap-shaped aponeurosis is very likely to have bleeding." ”

"Now, the deceased's head circumference has not increased, there are no contusions and tears on the scalp, and there is no bruising and edema under the skin."

With that, she shaved off the strands of hair behind the corpse's ears and continued, "There were no purplish-red ecchymoses on the eyelids, behind the ears, or under the skin of the neck, which also proves that there was no serious bleeding under the cap aponeurosis." ”

Xu was worried that Xiao Qinglang, a layman, still had doubts, so she simply used the tip of a knife to dissect the skin and flesh at the cap-shaped aponeurosis, revealing the aponeurosis inside, but she saw that there was really nothing unusual. Naturally, under the periosteum, there will be no bleeding.

The cap aponeurosis, which is the aponeurosis between the frontalis and occipital muscles, protects the skull and, more importantly, prevents the spread of inflammation of the skin and subcutaneous skin of the head. In addition, the most common condition of a gaunted subtendinous hematoma is a traumatic injury to the head.

Depending on the severity of the injury, it can manifest as scalp contusions, lacerations, hematomas, and avulsions. Pulling the hair so violently that the deceased can be killed by the impact, it can be seen that the force used by Hua Wuzhi at that time will cause damage to the cap aponeurosis caused by tearing the hair.

"Normally, after being violently pulled, the scalp will inevitably react. It's like when a person is struck, he leaves bruises or bruises on his body. ”

Of course, the absence of scalp damage does not give 100% certainty that the deceased's hair was not repeatedly pulled. However, if someone grabs the hair and bumps it repeatedly, even if it does not cause bleeding from the gauntlet aponeurosis, it can cause a concussion injury due to the deceleration movement. ”

Inspector Cao was stunned for a moment, and asked hesitantly, "Dare to ask the girl, what is a hedge injury?" ”

Xu Chu was suddenly asked, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then realized that he was not in the laboratory. And many technical terms are not understood now. But looking at the eyes of everyone, she still tried to phrase it, "The so-called impact injury is when the head is affected by an external force, and the brain group on the opposite side of the force is damaged. To put it simply, it is usually a situation where a person's head hits an external object. It is common in deceleration movements, such as injuries caused by a fall, a bump, or a person tearing their hair repeatedly. On the other hand, there is damage caused by a force-struck blow. When hit by a heavy object, the contact surface will be damaged, while the part of the contralateral side without epidermal damage will not have the corresponding internal brain tissue damage. ”

"Put simply, when you hit an object, it slows down your movements. And when you are slammed, the opponent's speed and strength will only increase suddenly. ”

"But now you can see that there was no damage to the brain tissue under the deceased's injury, and at the same time, no damage or deviation was found in the brain tissue on the opposite side of the injury, and there was no force on the scalp, so it can be inferred that the deceased was not pulled by her hair and violently assaulted before her death, and where the wound on her forehead came from is also worth speculating."

"In your opinion, how did the wound on her forehead form?" Xiao Qinglang suddenly spoke, looking at Xu Chu with a bit of solemnity.

Xu Chu's eyes swept over the wound on the deceased's forehead, and while helping her stitch up the place where she had cut herself, he said, "Caused by a blunt blow, because the wound has been cleaned, there is no useful information to be found. However, based on the wound, I can deduce that the thing is flat and wide."

Xiao Qinglang nodded, and began to think about the dossier he had read. In just a moment, a few suspicious murder weapons were slightly speculated.

"But in any case, it is enough to see that the maid who accused the playboy is false."

As he spoke, Xu Chu had already laid the body flat again. Only this time, she focused her eyes on the deceased's abdomen. After a few moments, she took off her gloves and carefully patted her hand on the deceased's heart down to her navel, and in addition to feeling smooth, she felt a slight stiffness in this place, but she did not soften it at all when she pressed it with her hand.

After a moment's thought, she simply got up and took the cotton and went to the legs of the deceased. At this time, she didn't have anything taboo, just sent the cotton to the deceased's private parts.

Xiao Qinglang on the side did not shy away from it, and his expression did not change at all, and he looked at Xu Chu's movements without moving. On the contrary, it was the four inspectors who should have been indifferent, their faces changed several times, and finally glanced to the side.

One of the inspectors also dissuaded, "It's better to be cautious, the deceased is different from ordinary people, she is a princess, and her status is noble, so you can't be so wanton." Although the examination of the woman's corpse needs to prove the woman's innocence, as a princess of harmony, it must not be the body of a broken flower and a willow, which is really a bit redundant."

Xu Chu didn't pay attention to his words, and only said in a condensed voice: "My lord, don't be preconceived. ”

When her words fell, the silk was also taken out of the deceased's private parts, but there was no dark blood on it, let alone the slightest trace.

"How is that possible?" The inspector who had just spoken couldn't help but be dumbfounded when he saw the clean Mianzha.

The rest of the inspectors heard his stunned voice and hurriedly looked back. But I heard Xu Chu's cold and flat voice sound again, "The deceased is not a virgin, and it is very likely that she is pregnant." ”

"This"

As we all know, although this woman is a princess, the emperor has not yet canonized her, nor has he given her a palace. Now, she is only temporarily living in a side hall. According to common sense, unless the emperor is impatient, he will favor her at this time.

However, even if she arrives on the first day of the Great Zhou, the emperor favors her, so it should not be obvious enough to be pregnant.

Moreover, the Great Zhou Dynasty has always had an unwritten rule that princesses who come from foreign countries and relatives, whether they enter the harem as concubines or marry princes, must not be pregnant. Because, when their names were decided, they had already taken the decoction of sterilization according to the ancestral system.

Maybe some people will feel cruel, but compared to the barbarian treatment of the women who came from the Central Plains in the past, this move can really be regarded as merciful. You must know that during the reign of Emperor Zong, Princess Lanxin of the Great Zhou Dynasty went to Northern Xinjiang to make peace, not only was she bullied and regarded as a cow and a horse, but she was also a barbarian and cheap, and finally she was a singer of the Northern Xinjiang Imperial Court.

When the first emperor was the emperor, he also sent a princess and a princess, and after the princess entered the imperial court in northern Xinjiang, there was no news at all. Because the woman was only an official woman, the first emperor did not seek an explanation from the northern frontier because of this.

After the war with Northern Xinjiang today, when the King of Qi led his troops to rush into the imperial court, he saw a woman who had already been tortured to the point of being inhuman. The woman's body was already completely depleted, covered in scars from abuse, and even her ankles had already been broken

At that time, when she heard that Da Zhou had strangled the imperial court in northern Xinjiang and caused it to flee to the depths of Mobei, she immediately looked up to the sky and laughed, and then crashed to death on the rough wood of the cowshed.

It is precisely because of this that the princesses who leave foreign races and relatives are not favored by the emperor of the Great Zhou. Even if there were, she would never be allowed to give birth to an heir.

Thinking of this, I saw that Cao Xianguan, who had just been swept by Xiao Qinglang's gaze, frowned and said, "Yesterday, because I was a little taboo in my heart about the identity of the deceased, I didn't carefully check his abdomen, but I just inferred from common sense that the princess who was not favored should be a complete body." But I didn't expect such an omission. ”

At this time, he had already determined that Xu Chu was indeed a rare autopsy master. And all those who have little experience know that if a woman's corpse is pregnant, pat the corpse with her hand down to the navel, and it is as hard as iron. If you are not pregnant, it should be soft here.

Therefore, he did not question Xu Chu's conclusions.

Xiao Qinglang took the autopsy sheet and filled it out carefully. After a few moments, he asked, "Is it possible to determine the cause of death?" ”

"You have to dissect before you can draw conclusions." Xu Chu raised his head and looked at him with a pair of dark and shining eyes, never hiding the firmness that suddenly burst out from the bottom of his eyes.

It's not that she has any fetishes, but she instinctively feels that there are still secrets hidden in this corpse. And the secret is most likely related to her death or the murderer.

Although most of her face was covered by a mask, the seriousness and eagerness between her eyebrows and eyes made those who looked stunned. In this place full of corpses, the opening is to dissect corpses, and it seems that he has long been accustomed to it, and no one can think of a woman in such an act.

Xiao Qinglang saw that she was still so obsessed with the corpse, and the coldness in her heart that had just been born from the autopsy officer Cao yesterday gradually dissipated. He glanced at her lightly, and said with a smile in his eyes, "The emperor has a word, as long as you can solve the case, you are allowed to act cheaply." ”

When Xu Chu heard this, he suddenly remembered the sentence of holding chicken feathers as an arrow, but looking at the appearance of Xiao Qinglang and the four inspectors, the chicken feather order he got was quite weighty.

She pursed her lips and smiled, her fingers pressed a few times on the deceased's abdomen, and when she was sure of what she was thinking, she slashed the blade downward.

The cold light on the blade flashed, and the abdominal cavity of the deceased had been opened. Although there is no bloody and terrifying appearance, it is enough to make the four inspectors stunned. They looked at Xu Chu in astonishment, and they couldn't come back to their senses for a long time.

When they saw Xu Chu dissecting the deceased's head before, they were already horrified in their hearts. After all, separating the flesh of the skull and lifting the skull to see what's going on inside is something that ordinary people can't do.

But I watched her skillfully dissect the skull, and stitch it up, without even a single knife or stitches. The little horror in their hearts was replaced by a kind of self-shame.
