Xu Chu quickly untied the clothes on the first corpse, because after a month, even if there was ice to preserve, the corpse already showed signs of decay. However, Xu Chu didn't care, she carefully checked the corpse's head, heart and other places, and made sure that there were no foreign bodies and trauma, and then began to judge: "The deceased is a man, about fifty-two years old, seven feet tall, and has a fatal wound on the neck, and the preliminary judgment is that he died of excessive blood loss......

Even though it was still the original conclusion, compared to the previous work, Xu Chu's examination was more careful, and he didn't even let go of the hair stained on his body. On the contrary, it was the people who brought her to see the blood-red liquid that flowed from the mouth and nose of the corpse as she turned the corpse and became apprehensive.

"Miss Xu, is this the Seven Tricks Bleeding? Is man poisoned? The prefect Sun was the first to shudder and asked.

"Huh?" Xu Chu might as well be questioned, and only when he understood Lord Sun's suspicions did he shake his head and say, "This is not a sign of poisoning, but the result of the body being frozen." Although the ice cube can ensure the integrity of the corpse and delay the decay, in fact, the corpse tissue has been destroyed and will often begin to decay from the inside, so the slightest temperature will cause blood to seep out. ”

As he spoke, Xu Chu had already begun to examine the second corpse. I couldn't see anything about this one, and the wooden stick that passed through the chest was a fatal wound. She examined all other traces, but there was no trace.

As for the third body, it was already swollen and white from blisters, its face was somewhat hideous, its abdomen was swollen, and there was mud and sand on its mouth and nose, and it was preliminarily concluded that it had drowned. Because the faces of the three bodies were not destroyed, they could be clearly identified, but there was nothing unusual on the surface.

It's just that there are not obvious red marks on the back, like corpse spots. This...... Xu Chu frowned, hesitated slightly, took white vinegar and soaked rice paper from the toolbox, and then applied it to the place behind the deceased that looked like a corpse spot.

It has been said that wine vinegar is dipped in paper and covered on the head and face, chest and flanks, two breasts, umbilicus, and two intercostal spaces of the corpse, and it is covered with clothes, poured wine vinegar, and covered with straw mats for an hour, and then tested. This is to allow the vinegar to penetrate the skin and reveal the scars under the skin.

While waiting, Xu Chu carefully checked Li Jin's hair, nails, etc., if it was a murder, it would not be possible to have no traces at all. It's like a second corpse, except for the piercing wound in the chest, there is nothing wrong with it.

Time passed little by little, and after Xu Chu examined the corpse, and then looked at the place where the vinegar was applied on his back, there was a long strip of wounds. Slightly red and blue, if you don't distinguish it carefully, Xu will really recognize it as a corpse spot.

Just when Xu Chu was about to get up, he saw that Li Jin's mouth and nose were extremely white compared to other places. Even if it has been soaked in water, which has caused the body to change, it should not have two colors on its face.

Considering the scars on his back and the difference in his face, she was not busy examining the next corpse, but undressed the corpse and began to press on his abdomen. Swollen abdomen, a sign of drowning...... However, there is another condition that seems to cause suffocation and bloating.

Xu Chu hesitated for a moment, but decided not to dissect the person for the time being, but instead wiped the deceased's abdomen clean with cotton, took off the gloves and put the palm of his hand on his abdomen, and then tapped the back of his hand with his other hand.

"Bang bang bang bang......" Hearing the sound, Xu Chucai looked at the work on the side and said slowly, "The abdomen is distended and empty, not drowning, but being pretended to be drowning with a paper sticker." ”

"Why is that?"

"People who are really drowning will inhale a large amount of water in their abdomen because of the struggle to breathe, just like when rescuing a drowning person, doctors will press on their chest and abdomen. And those who die with wet paper cannot breathe in water. Xu Chu looked at the somewhat dazed work and explained, "In addition, there are many algae and sediment in water such as moats, but there is only a little mud and sand in the mouth and nose of the deceased, and there is no algae and other things. And although the murderer thought that the drowning person would have abdominal distention, and would deliberately stuff the mud and sand into the mouth and nose of the deceased, he ignored that the sediment he inhaled would not form a lump like this, and the real drowning person would inhale algae. ”

When he heard the words, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly recited it silently in his heart a few times. If you think about it, that's really the case.

In fact, if the body is first found, more may be found, but unfortunately the time has passed too long, but the bones have not yet been decomposed, so many tests cannot be used.

Seeing that he looked like he was being taught, Xu Chucai looked at the last corpse, which was also burned and unrecognizable.

"The deceased was a male, his age is unknown, his height is unknown, his skin is cracked and resembles a cut, his limbs are shortened, his joints are flexed, and he is in the shape of a fighting fist." As he spoke, Xu Chu took out a small sharp knife from the toolbox, carefully parted the somewhat adhered lips of the corpse, and then used small tweezers wrapped in cotton to carefully wipe the corpse's mouth and nose. "There is soot foam in the throat of the buckle, and the tracheobronchial part is unknown for the time being."

Master Sun watched Xu Chu bend down close to the corpse's mouth, and wipe and wipe it from the inside, and couldn't help but start churning in his stomach, but seeing that Xu Chu was serious, no one dared to speak out easily.

Rao was like this, when Xu Chu slowly cut open the chest of the corpse, those people still couldn't help but staggered and ran out of the ice cellar. Then, there was a series of gagging sounds, and footsteps hesitating to know whether to enter again.

However, Lord Sun's actions did not affect Xu Chu, only to see her glance at the pale face but still holding on to the record, and asked, "Seniors, can you avoid it?" ”

"Miss Xu doesn't need to delay, just continue the autopsy." He replied with a wry smile.

Hearing this, Xu Chu nodded, lowered his eyes and continued to be busy. The small triangular knife slashed through the chest of the deceased, but there was no bleeding, so although it was terrifying to look at, there was really no bloody tragedy.

Xu Chu's eyes were focused, and his technique was extremely safe to distinguish the situation of his corpse. In the gloomy ice cellar, there was a real chill, so that the old man who recorded it couldn't help but shiver and turn pale, and couldn't help but take a few steps back to avoid the scene of unraveling. But Xu Chu didn't care at all, and only carefully checked the situation of the corpse.

Time passed little by little, Xu Chu checked the deceased's heart and lungs, and then checked his stomach and trachea.

"The deceased should have eaten fish, shrimp and rice before his death, and should have drunk alcohol." As soon as Xu Chu untangled his stomach, he smelled a strong smell of fermentation, and after looking at it carefully, he saw that there were still undigested fish and shrimp inside. "According to the digestion, the last meal was about an hour after the time when the deceased was killed."

This makes it easier to determine the time of death, as the time of the food debris in the stomach is much more accurate than the changes caused to the corpse by the ice cube.

"Huh? How so? Just when Xu Chu determined the cause of death and was about to stitch up the body, he suddenly saw that the deceased's atrium seemed to be different from ordinary people. Suddenly, the movements of her hands slowed down. "Remember, the deceased has a gap in his heart, and he is suspected of being a heart disease."

Strange, the deceased was not poisoned, but why was he burned alive and did not escape? What was the reason for his panic that he would rather hide in the carriage and watch the carriage catch fire? There is also a curfew, since the death of the first three deceased, Yunzhou City has already had patrols, how did the deceased avoid the guards?

After the autopsy, Xu Chu carefully covered several corpses, with all kinds of doubts in her heart, she turned her head and wanted to talk to the recorded senior. Just turned her head, and she was stunned.

But in the dim firelight, Xiao Qinglang, who was dressed in a brocade robe, was holding an ink-stained pen in one hand and a recorded autopsy sheet in the other. is still dressed in moon-white robes, clean and noble, even in a filthy place, he has an outstanding demeanor.

Xu Chu's eyes moved slightly, and he saw that the dim light enveloped his long and upright figure, making his whole person feel inexplicably warm. At this time, he was concentrating on transcribing, and it was not until he couldn't hear Xu Chu's words for a long time that he frowned and raised his head in confusion.

The four eyes were facing each other, which made Xu Chu's heart ripple for no reason, and those eyes faded away from scrutiny and coldness, which was really beautiful.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Qinglang raised his eyebrows, and waited until he saw Xu Chu's pale lips before he took the lead and said, "Let's go out first, next time if you want to conduct an autopsy, let someone prepare clothes first." ”

Xu Chu really didn't think much about the sudden concern, but he still couldn't help but praise Xiao Qinglang, the prince, for being considerate of his subordinates. No wonder Wei Guang is so arrogant, and he is willing to stay by his side for his use.

Out of the ice cellar, a few people went directly to the warm pavilion. At this time, someone naturally brought hot tea inside. Master Sun saluted respectfully with apprehension, and as for the county order and a few servants, he naturally never entered the warm pavilion.

"Wei Guang, let someone bring hot soup to ward off the cold." After sitting down, Xiao Qinglang glanced at Xu Chu quietly, his jade-like hand curled slightly towards the teacup, feeling that the tea was just warm, and then commanded to the dark.

On the desk are all the files of the deceased who had just been transferred from the Ministry of Households, as well as the records sent by the government office, which were neatly arranged in the order of the incident.

"How's it going?"

"Back to the prince, the first victim died of a sharp weapon cutting his neck, and his death was not abnormal. The second victim died of a wooden stick through the chest, and there was no remark. It's just that the third victim, Li Jin, a tea merchant, and the last Wu Song, have something wrong. Xu Chu also eased up at this time, took a deep breath of the heated air in the house, and continued, "Li Jin, who should have died in the water, was actually killed by being tortured to death first, and then thrown into the river. And the fourth place...... The specifics will not be determined until the Minnu has read the file. ”
