Chapter 266: Kicked by a Donkey
Laughing and generous? Lord Fang is narrow-minded, you must know that in Yunzhou City and Jinzhou City, several cases have been solved, and the cracking of each case has not left the results of the autopsy of this woman in your mouth. Not only the Criminal Department knew about this matter, but even the emperor knew about it, so much so that she was allowed to act cheaply in the matter of the autopsy. I don't know if Lord Fang is suspicious of this official," Xiao Qinglang raised his voice directly when he said this, and said sharply, "Or do you have doubts about the emperor's exception?" ”
In a word, it directly made Fang Zhuang Hengcheng frightened. He hurriedly arched his hand and said, "The lower officials don't dare, since this is the case, then there is Lao Xu to do it." It's just that, in order to prevent this servant from making a mistake, I also asked the lord to allow the lower officials to find a servant commonly used by the yamen to come and participate in the autopsy together. ”
He said it vaguely, but it was not difficult to hear his distrust of Xu Chu. In his opinion, a woman's autopsy is originally a fantasy, let alone a woman who is so delicate and weary.
In contrast, it seems that the butcher is more convincing than her.
Xiao Qinglang was noncommittal to his words, but he did not reprimand him in the end. Therefore, Fang Zhuangheng only regarded him as acquiescing, and hurriedly turned around and ordered the official to go to the west of the city to find Zheng Butcher.
In just half an hour, the Zheng butcher was dragged and hurried over. It can be seen that the expression on his face is very reluctant, and he is obviously not happy to come to the autopsy.
When the Zheng butcher saw the posture in the courtyard, he was also stunned for a moment, but he still frowned and looked at Lord Fang in a rough voice and asked, "My lord, who is the one who died so much?" ”
Fang Zhuangheng was just about to reprimand him for being rude, when he heard Xiao Qinglang say lightly, "Since Lord Fang has invited him, let's start." ”
In this way, it is not good for him to take the opportunity to have a seizure.
Zheng Butcher was only present, and he was the only one who did it, so he got permission and went straight to the corpse. He looked at the appearance of the deceased, from the pupils to the scars on the corpse, but they all looked like them.
"My lord, there are several wounds on the deceased's body, like falls, and the rest are not abnormal." Zheng Tuhu got up and clapped his hands, and said, "So, a small inference, the deceased accidentally fell and fell to death when he was pushing with someone, or died suddenly due to a sudden illness." ”
As soon as these words fell, the shopkeeper on the side hurriedly said, "Ada has always been strong and strong, and he has never been sick. And he is loyal and honest, and he has never quarreled and fought with others, and he has just had a quarrel with your group, so it must be because you are not angry in your hearts that you want to bully the strong and bully the weak, so that Ada suffered."
As soon as his words came out, one after another men chimed in. If it was an ordinary time, Xu was still afraid of retaliation because of the other party's identity, but now that someone has died, it doesn't mean that they can hide from being cowardly.
Now, not only the men and officials around looked at Wei Guang and the others with their eyes, but even Wei Guang himself frowned. Although he reprimanded the man a few words just now, he didn't make a move, let alone fight him.
It's just that the two of them were talking, and the guy suddenly fell to the ground. He crouched down to test the dead man's breath, but was mistaken by the shopkeeper and another passing man for having killed someone. Then, the two quarreled, this thing was really weird, and he was almost speechless.
He looked at Xiao Qinglang and Xu Chu worriedly, and saw that the two were not angry, their expressions were calm, and their hearts slowly fell to the ground and did not defend themselves.
Zheng Butcher said it simply, and he didn't even examine it carefully. It can be seen that as a work specially found by Fang Zhuang Heng, he was very sloppy and perfunctory in the matter of the autopsy. Compared with Li Chengzuo, Zhao Baizuo and others that Xu Chu met before, it is far from the same.
Xu Chu looked at his appearance, and his heart was inexplicably angry. If it was Li Chengzuo and Zhao Chengzuo and others before, even if they initially despised their own woman's work, they would also have a lot of experience in the autopsy. What's more, within their capabilities, the inquest of a corpse would never be so perfunctory.
But now, this Zheng butcher has never taken human life to heart. This matter is really infuriating.
She frowned for a moment, looked at the Zheng butcher coldly with narrow eyes, and said in a cold voice, "In ancient times, it was said that all those who fell to death, the traces of their fallen feet, and the vital places on the ground that could be fatal, must be hidden or scratched. Since you said that the deceased was injured by a fall, then you still bother to tell me and so on, where did he fall and die? ”
Although the backyard of this inn is dirt, there are no strange rocks or protrusions. It can be said that the ground is soft, and even if you fall, it will only be a bruise at most, and it is impossible to leave a fall on the deceased's body.
Zheng Butcher might as well be choked by a woman, and immediately his face turned red, and he glared at Xu Chu angrily, "Where did you come from, little lady, how can you accuse this autopsy at will?" Even if his injuries were not in the vital area, it is possible that he suffered from internal injuries and died suddenly. ”
Before his words were finished, Xu Chu, who had listened to it, spoke again, "If there are fatal marks inside, there will be blood in the mouth, eyes, ears, and nose. ”
Her eyes were cold, and then she said in a condensed voice, "In addition, your so-called sudden death from sudden illness, or the potential conclusion implied in your words, that the deceased was emotionally agitated due to an argument with someone, and then died of illness, it is even more absurd. ”
Zheng Butcher's face turned pale and blue by her cold questioning, and he only stared at Xu Chu fiercely, and sneered, "Sharp teeth, then tell me why he died?" When I look at the deceased's body, the flesh is yellow, the flesh is slightly yellow, the mouth and eyes are closed, and the hair is tight. ”
"Regardless of whether his companions prove that he is seriously ill, just say that your so-called sudden death from stroke, whether it is an evil wind or a dark wind, in addition to the color of the flesh, the most important feature should be saliva in the mouth." Xu Chu looked at the Zheng butcher with a pale face, unhurriedly put down the toolbox on his back when he had just gone downstairs, and then said, "And I see that you only looked at the ears and nose of the deceased just now, but not the situation in his mouth." Then should I say, are you careless of human life or are you being bought? ”
After all, according to Lord Fang's attitude, although this Zheng butcher is not a special worker, it should not be so unbearable. At the very least, it shouldn't be so far-fetched about the cause of death.
Although the interlacing is like a mountain, he is also recognized by the yamen in the end. Death from a fall, and the symptoms of sudden death, should not be fooled in such a word.
Zheng Tuhu's pupils shrank, and he subconsciously avoided Xu Chuming's dazzling eyes.
Fang Zhuangheng on the side obviously also saw the difference in Zheng Butcher's autopsy tonight, he squinted his eyes and looked at Zheng Butcher, and glanced at the official next to him. Just for a moment, almost without anyone noticing, the official errand quietly walked behind Zheng Butcher.
Xu Chu's movements were extremely neat, and he saw that there were no foreign objects nailed into the bones in the back of the deceased's head, top heart, and hair. Then, she wiped the deceased's nose with tweezers and cotton, and after a while, she saw that the pure white dough was stained with a layer of dark red.
Seeing this, she wiped the dead man's mouth in the same way, but saw another dark black mark. It's not obvious, but it's real.
Apparently, the deceased had bleeding from his mouth and nose.
Because when the Fang County Order came, he brought a team of officials with torches, so although the backyard was in the night at this time, it didn't look too dark. On the contrary, it is like daylight.
Zheng Butcher, who had just reprimanded Xu Chu for making trouble, originally thought that she would be frightened after she checked the chilled corpse. When the time comes, he wants this little girl who has read a few more magazines to look good.
Unexpectedly, her every move was more detailed than that of herself, a person who had seen a corpse. For a moment, Zheng Butcher was also faintly worried in his heart, and his fingers pinched the cuffs uncomfortably.
And Fang Zhuangheng was even more stunned, just when Xu Chu squatted down to check the corpse, he set his eyes on her. Seeing that he had really found clues on the corpse, he was secretly surprised at that time.
As a result, the idea that the adults in the criminal department who didn't care about it just now, and even felt that the adults in the criminal department were too childish about the autopsy, was completely replaced by acquiescence. Even the gaze that looked at Xu Chu was reduced from disgust to scrutiny.
"The deceased, male, was six feet four inches long and about thirty years old. The body was lying on its side, and according to Zheng's observation before the autopsy, his clothes and sideburns were neat, and there were no signs of pulling and pushing. There is an abrasion on the back of the left hand, which is stained with loess in the courtyard, which can be inferred to be caused by the time he fell to the ground. ”
She looked at every part of the deceased's body with a calm look, and confirmed that there was nothing missing, before she said slowly, "The corpse is warm, there are no corpse spots and corpse stiffness, the cornea is clear, and the time of death is within half an hour." ”
"There is a red black mark on the chest, which is curved and small, and it is suspected that the mark of a donkey's hoof. In addition, there are traces of redness and swelling in the lower abdomen and flank ribs, the skin is not broken, and the shape is the same as the marks on the chest, and the light color is suspected to be a new injury. As she spoke, she took vinegar and applied it to the lower abdomen and flank that she had just pointed to.
In fact, if you usually look at the body surface carefully, you can see the traces. It's just that now, the Zheng butcher who was trusted by Lord Fang obviously concealed it, and he would question the conclusions he had made, so it was reasonable to apply vinegar to let the scars be exposed, so that the other party had nothing to say.
Thinking that this injury would affect the flank and abdomen, it was very likely to cause internal injury, so Xu Chu deliberately pressed on the deceased's chest, abdomen and flank in multiple places. After a few moments, she said in a deep voice, "The deceased's seventh rib on the left side was fractured, which is suspected of puncturing the viscera and causing a slight swelling in the abdomen. The specific situation needs to be examined after autopsy. ”
Normally, a corpse that dies within half an hour will never have a swollen abdomen. Moreover, it should not be like the previous Miss Qiu family, which only caused bleeding in the kidneys and other places.
