Chapter 314

This man, who is regarded as a prophet by many in the northern Xinjiang, seems to have a different appearance from the Ayreti who appeared before. Although he still has a high nose and deep eyes, in Xu Chu's opinion, he has a little more mellow appearance than the angular people of Northern Xinjiang.

However, this is not unusual, after all, throughout the ages, at the junction of Northern Xinjiang and the Central Plains, people of all ethnic groups have lived together and often interacted with each other. Perhaps, this Nabi is a mixed race between the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the people of Northern Xinjiang.

She looked down at Nabi's body, and when she saw the wound, she reached out and pressed it to confirm it. Sure enough, the vertebrae were broken.

"It's such a tricky angle." Xu Chu frowned and said, "It was indeed a death caused by a broken backbone." ”

In fact, simply breaking the backbone is not enough to cause death, and it is more likely to cause high paralysis due to injury to the central nervous system than death. However, the wounds of Nabi's corpse were particularly different, and such force and damage were enough to completely destroy the central nervous system, and then cause death in a short period of time.

This kind of situation would never have been possible unless you were not a veteran or a well-versed in medical skills.

She groaned for a moment, then put the white cloth on the corpse again, and said in a deep voice, "Judging from the height of the deceased and the wounds, the murderer is about six feet four inches tall. And the murderer is extremely powerful, and his technique is professional, and the strength and angle are just fatal. In other words, he was proficient in medicine. ”

"Looking at the scars on the backbone of the back, it can be inferred that the murder weapon was a flat pole, an official board and something like a flat shoulder."

Next, she went to the so-called strongest of the envoys, Egan Birdi.

Because Yigan Baierdi's body had been boiled, now, except for some white Sensen's minced meat, only a white bone was left in front of Xu Chu's eyes.

However, she is no stranger to bone examinations. It can even be said that compared to other works of Da Zhou, the white bones she has seen and studied may be more

The bones are delicately strung together, each marked with a small stick, and then arranged neatly according to the shape of the skeleton, which is very easy to see.

"There are 29 skull bones, 51 trunk bones, and 126 limb bones."

"The bones are relatively large, the surface is rough, the protrusions at the muscle attachments are obvious, the bone density is thick, the bone is heavy, and the sacral crest is prominent, so it can be inferred that the sex of the deceased is male. The sternal body heals with the xiphoid process, and the larynx and costal cartilage begin to solidify, so the age should be between forty and fifty years old. ”

"The neck bone was broken, and the deceased's neck was directly twisted off before his death. The cooked internal organs were rotten, but there was a visible puncture wound to the heart."

As she spoke, she used tweezers to open the wound on the deceased's heart, which was fortunately boiled in the back of a serious injury, so that the wound was obvious and stable in shape.

"If my guess is correct, the blood of the deceased must have been released from a place close to the heart when he was alive. This results in blood loss, resulting in minimal blood in the cooked meat. ”

It is only inferred from this situation that the release of a large amount of blood from the human body will inevitably cause the deceased to die of shock. But why, the other party still wants to break the neck of the deceased?

Just by relying on the clothes, accessories and gems left at the scene of the corpse, it can be ruled out as robbery.

And now, the mortal person has his neck broken, so it is common sense to speculate that the murderer must have a deep hatred for the deceased.

She thought for a moment and said, "The scar on the heart, deep and transparent, should have been made with a murder weapon such as a boning knife or a pig-killing knife." Specifically, it is necessary to check the traces on the previous clothes. ”

These are all recorded on the autopsy list, and after she briefly described it, she won't say more.

"Strange" Xu Chu carefully inspected every inch of the bones, because the white bones had already been boiled, and the inspectors of the Three Law Divisions had checked them with a red oil-paper umbrella, and there were no traces of fractures on them, so she had not re-cooked the bones.

In fact, the method of boiling bones and performing autopsies was also used by Xiao Qinglang later to instruct the Three Law Divisions. After all, in several cases in Yunzhou City and Jinzhou City, he had seen it with his own eyes, and Xu Chu found clues of the murderer's murder by examining the bones.

In his opinion, it is probably as Xu Chu thought, even if everyone in the world says that the dead are great, and ghosts and gods should be taboo, it is not as important as appealing for the grievances of the deceased.

Xu Chu looked up at Xiao Qinglang and asked, "I remember, this Yigan Baierdi is a military general?" ”

Xiao Qinglang's twisted eyebrows slowly relaxed, he nodded and said, "Yigan Baierdi can be regarded as a famous general in Northern Xinjiang, and he has been seriously injured in ambushes several times, and he is in danger. This person is considered a brave general who is becoming more and more courageous, and even the Holy Lord has lamented this. I heard that when the Northern Xinjiang Imperial Court attacked him last year, his right leg was broken due to falling from a horse, but he relied on a stump leg to stabilize the new tribe he had built. ”

Xu felt that a fierce general only had a white bone left in the blink of an eye, which made people quite emotional, and Xiao Qinglang shook his head slightly.

When Xu Chu heard this, he immediately said, "I suspect that the deceased is not Yigan Baierdi!" ”

When Liu He and the others heard this, they were immediately dumbfounded and said, "How is it possible, this person is similar in height and size to Yigan Baierdi." There are also gems on the hair and phalanges that fell out due to stewing, all of which are specially worn by the strong people of Northern Xinjiang. Moreover, the clothes found in the vicinity that day were indeed worn by Egan Baildi, which can be confirmed by many people in the inn. ”

"There are too many people to look like him, and if anyone really wants to confuse the public, it is impossible to discard the gems or clothes he wears at the scene of the dumping."

"What's more, I didn't find any smell of blood on the strips of flesh that remained on the bones today, and I didn't find any bloody residue inside. In other words, the deceased should have been bled before cooking in the pot. However, at the scene of the corpse, the official did not find any traces of fighting or bloodletting. ”

"What about the blood of the dead? If the scene of the burning of the corpse was not the scene of the crime, then how could the murderer be so patient to carry all his clothes and throw them away? ”

"Therefore, it is a bit hasty to determine the identity of the deceased based on clothing and accessories."

When Inspector Liu heard her say this, he became more and more suspicious of their previous judgment. Because on that day, among the envoys at the inn, only Egan Baildi was missing, and with his height and body and clothing and accessories, they speculated on the identity of the deceased.

But now that I hear Xu Chu say it, it seems to be very reasonable.

He didn't dare to take it big, and for a moment he muttered and asked humbly, "How did the girl deduce that the deceased was not from Egan Baierdi?" After all, there was only a pile of white bones left, and it was really difficult to see the identity of the deceased. ”

At this time, Xu Chu did not talk about the head restoration technique, but directly said on the leg bones of the deceased, "Normally, a fierce general who often fights on the battlefield and is repeatedly seriously injured will leave damage marks on his body and bones. ”

"For example, the prince said that last year, Yigan Baierdi broke his leg bone and then fought with injuries. Even if his bone injuries did not get worse, they would have been left with callus at this time. Even if the bone is healed, the fracture of the bone should be able to see a different color and state. But right now, the bones were uniform in color, and there were only any signs of damage, and there were no bone wounds or callus on the bones."

"In addition, the tissues of the human body have the ability to regenerate, and normally, at the fracture of the lower leg bone, the limb should be slowly lengthened at a rate of one to three points a day."

"However, at the moment, this skeleton, according to the length of the legs, should have been the injured leg bone, and there was no growth or growth."

At this point, she paused, thought for a moment, and went on to explain, "Just like some babies sleep with their heads, if they sleep on a hard board for a long time, the back of their head will be flattened. ”

If you want to explain it in detail, it is probably the memory of the bones

The three inspectors listened to the clouds, but they could ponder a little, and they could also understand what Xu Chu said. Although they are not doctors, they have been performing autopsies all year round, and they have long been accustomed to seeing all kinds of strange symptoms.

In some people, when the fracture is healing, the injury will bulge up and down that is difficult to see with the naked eye. And some corpses that have been dead for many years, when the autopsy is re-examined, there will also be pits on the bones of the deceased who fell when he was young.

It's like a child who falls under a tree and hits a stone when he is a child, and even if he doesn't lose his life, his head shape will be affected.

If it looks like this, then there is something really wrong with this corpse.

Xu Chu saw the three of them showing a clear expression, so he continued, "From this, I conclude that the deceased is not Egan Baierdi himself, who is brave and good at fighting and has been seriously injured repeatedly. If I'm right, he's just a substitute."

"And who the hell is he?" Inspector Liu frowned, and a suspicious look appeared on his face.

It's just that at the moment when these words came out, he felt that he was a little strong. It is extremely rare to be able to see this kind of situation. Even more detailed than they had examined.

After all, after they inspected it before, they could only determine the cause of death, the scars, and the murder weapon. But there is no way to deduce from the white bones that the identity of the deceased is different.

Xiao Qinglang saw that the attitude of the three inspectors towards Xu Chu had changed, and he didn't even rely on his qualifications to speak, and he couldn't help but feel a faint sense of relief in his eyes. He didn't speak, just waiting for Xu Chu's answer, and Xiao Chu, who was about him, would never disappoint.

Xu Chu briefly checked the deceased's teeth, and after a while, said, "According to the degree of tooth wear and bone condition, the deceased should often brush his teeth with wooden teeth, which shows that he has a rich life." According to the corrosiveness, the deceased liked to drink alcohol and liked to eat acidic foods, such as beef and mutton. Moreover, two of the back molars have calculus, and instead of brushing their teeth, they should have used something to put on the teeth. ”
