It's just that before Tian County's order admonished people, he saw that the man stepped forward again, and even had a tendency to stop Xu Chu. In that way, he really regarded Xu Chu as a beautiful concubine who was good at messing around with Xiao Qinglang.

"Lord Wang, the examination of the bones is very important, and it is really shocking to let the woman perform the autopsy. If the girl's hand is unsteady for a moment, or she is disgusting in public, won't it make people laugh? "The man is over fifty years old, and his figure is slightly rickety, but his eyes are very serious. It can be seen that he doesn't have any bad intentions, but he really doesn't believe Xu Chu. At this time, he saw that Xiao Qinglang still hadn't changed his mind, and couldn't help but say indignantly, "The so-called dead are great, and the prince really shouldn't let the bones of the deceased be insulted again!" ”

Seeing this, Xiao Qinglang frowned, and Tian Xian Ling was also quite embarrassed when he saw that he didn't pay attention to his anger, and said angrily: "Old man Lin, what are you doing!" ”

The old man Lin, who was reprimanded, looked awe-inspiring, and said with his neck curled: "Lord Wang, my lord, even if the two suspect that the grass people are shallow in their studies and are not as good as the inspectors of the Criminal Department, they don't need to let a little woman humiliate the grass people." ”

When he said this, he really felt a trace of humiliation and grievance in his heart. Want him to conduct an autopsy for decades, but now because of a sentence from King Jing'an, let a yellow-haired girl overturn his autopsy results?

Although she may not be able to see anything, as long as he thinks that when he goes out in the future, someone will take the opportunity to ridicule and ridicule him, and he is indignant in his heart. Originally, as a servant, it was extremely difficult to walk in the world, and he naturally didn't want to ruin the image of an old servant who had been in business for decades.

Seeing that he was stubborn, Tian Xian Ling couldn't help but grit his teeth and said, "Old man Lin, don't mess around, don't hurry up!" ”

Xu Chu did not panic because of Old Man Lin's words, but looked at the bones in the coffin and said lightly: "Since the seniors said so, it is better to conduct an autopsy with me, and see if the juniors are messing around or really find out." ”

Her eyes were gloomy, with a bit of sharpness and solemnity, which made the old man a little stunned.

thinks that he is over half a hundred years old, although he can't say how accurate his eyes are, he won't lose his temper in front of a little woman. However, when facing Xu Chu, who was silent, he felt that his confidence was inexplicably insufficient.

Seeing that Xu Chu had given him the next step, Tian County Ling hurriedly stepped forward to play a round and said, "Since the girl said so, then Lao Lintou, you can examine the corpse with this girl." ”

As he spoke, he gave the old man a look, signaling him not to be stubborn and pedantic. Even if the person is a woman, even if it is just messing around, what if it is the King of Jing'an who makes the person standing behind the family. Not to mention that he is a little-known old man, even if he is a county magistrate, if he doesn't do it, he will say that if he loses his future, he will lose his future......

At the moment when the old man hesitated, Xu Chu took out the head that had rotted and smelled.

Although the body had just been buried, the head had been soaked in water for many days, and it was already difficult to identify its original appearance. In addition, the weather is a little hot, and there are already a lot of white maggots on the corpse. Now, when he took it out, the rotten and already exposed head made everyone who had been tiptoeing to look at it frightened and frightened, and they took a few steps back in panic, not daring to look at it again.

It's just that Xu Chu didn't care at all, she placed the head with corpse liquid and carrion on top of the white cloth that had already been laid, and then carefully waved away a layer of maggots with a post-mortem knife. In that kind of situation, Mo said that it was an ordinary person, even the old man who had just pointed at her coldly, Old Man Lin was also a little shocked.

He wasn't afraid, but he didn't expect that this woman would really dare to do it......

This rotten head had been examined by his hands, so as a puppet, he naturally knew what it looked like inside. With the exception of the maggots, the soaked flesh was so soft that it would fall off almost slightly. As for the broken neck, although the dark black blood stains and scabs could not be seen by the blisters for a long time, there was also some stinking corpse fluid mixed with rotten flesh.

As the stench of the sky dispersed, those who were either covered their eyes in shock, or those who were still holding back their disgusting looks, all dispersed in all directions at this time. Of course, there are also flexible minds, and they have already moved in the direction where Xiao Qinglang and the others are standing, after all, the location of the upwind outlet tastes much better.

After Xu Chu cleaned the maggots on the carrion, he carefully pried the mouth of the skull open with tweezers. However, I saw that there were only six teeth in it, and four of them were staggered, and the caries was very serious.

By the time she had examined the skull, she had become more and more sure of her own guesses.

After only half a cup of tea, she lowered her head and examined the body of the deceased again.

Although the corpse has begun to decompose, it is not so unrecognizable that it is not completely ossified, and there are still many places worth inspecting.

She took a cursory look, carefully checked the distribution of maggots, and after a while, got up and asked Master Liu, "Did Liu Jinshan have any dental problems before his death?" Lost a tooth? Have you ever been seriously ill and made your speech slurred, unconscious or even hemiplegic? ”

Master Liu was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, and said sadly: "His body and bones have always been very good, he is the only seedling of the Liu family, and the old man has only had this one son in his life, so he has paid attention to his body since he was a child." Don't say that you are seriously ill and have dental disease, even if you bump and bump into the injury, you have never had a few times. ”

Xu Chu nodded and asked again: "The deceased man, Chinese New Year's Eve, is five feet six inches long, right?" ”

Master Liu had tears in his eyes, but he did not lose his temper, and naturally nodded in confirmation when he heard her words.

"The old man checked it when he recognized the body, and he did have a birthmark unique to Jinshan."

In other words, he confirmed that the body in the coffin was indeed owned by Liu Jinshan.

When Xu Chu heard this, he said directly without hesitation: "The head is not Liu Jinshan's!" ”

Just one sentence made everyone in an uproar. And Lin Qizuo was also stunned at this time, and subconsciously asked, "How is it possible?" ”

Because the skull was soaked beyond recognition at that time, it was naturally impossible to identify the face by virtue of its facial features. Therefore, he also specially compared the slash marks at the severed head, the scars on the flesh and bones, which were obviously caused by repeated chopping with a kitchen knife......

At this time, he didn't doubt Xu Chu's ability to perform an autopsy. When he looked at Xu Chu again, he didn't dare to look at it with contempt and contempt.

But even so, he couldn't help but question it. In front of everyone's eyes, wouldn't it be a slap in the face for a young woman to easily overturn his conclusion so easily?

Xu Chu glanced at him, skillfully opened the deceased's skull again, and said in a cold voice: "The fontanelle of this skull is protruding, and there are many blood halo marks caused by bleeding spots on the inside of the skull, which are all characteristics of cerebral hemorrhage. Moreover, the blood halo is so severe, which is enough to prove that this person's cerebral hemorrhage has been going on for a long time, and it is not a matter of three or two days. ”

"Maybe the murderer hit him in the head when he committed the murder, causing him to bleed in the skull?" Lin Qizuo frowned and retorted coldly, "There was no damage to the deceased's body, so it is very likely that it was injured on his head, which made him unconscious, and then his head was cut off!" ”

Xu Chu agrees with the statement that his injury is on his head, but it does not mean that he agrees that the bleeding on the inside of the skull is caused by a serious injury.

In a calm voice, she pointed to the marks on her head that had been eaten by maggots and said, "If the corpse is somewhat decomposed, you can see the color of the flesh and skin that has been damaged by the beatings or blade wounds. If you were actually wounded or cut before you died, the wound would have been red, deep and blue-black. The skin and flesh of the scars close to the bones are not bad, and maggots cannot eat them. ”

"But if you look at this head, there is no place where maggots do not eat. In addition, there are no obvious knife marks on the flesh and skin, and the skull is not damaged, which is enough to prove that the cause of the skull is not caused by serious injuries. ”

In addition, the skull had only six teeth, mottled and sparse, and his gums showed obvious signs of recession, the roots of the teeth were exposed, and the roots were severely decayed. All this is enough to prove that he is not a young man, but an old man. ”

Xu Chu spoke slowly, trying his best to replace some incomprehensible words with simple and clear explanations.

In fact, when Xu Chu saw those teeth for the first time, he had already concluded that this head was not the deceased. Because, that tooth has obvious signs of senile root decay.

The so-called senile root caries is actually not uncommon. In general, children and young adults tend to develop caries in the crown of a tooth. In the elderly, it often occurs on the surface of the root of the tooth, which is called "root caries".

With this conclusion, coupled with Liu Jinshan's living habits and age, it is impossible for him to have such a serious dental disease, so this is enough to prove her guess.

After Xu Chu finished speaking, she lowered her head and continued to look at the broken part of the skull, but after seeing that after a while, she used tweezers to carefully play with the carrion on the broken neck. That appearance is only so real that people can't look at it directly.

Not to mention the people who are close, even those who are farther away, you will feel disgusting and unbearable when you think about it for a while.

Partial, but Xu Chu didn't care, she pushed away the scab, and looked at the situation inside calmly and without fear. Obviously a delicate-faced, brightly dressed girl, she is like a grim reaper, fiddling with a foul smell and maggots carrion, how to look at it makes people feel unbelievable.

Because many days had passed, and the head had been soaked in water, it was difficult to tell whether the wound had been cut off before or after death according to the color of the flesh.

However, it is not only possible to infer whether the wound was inflicted before or after death.

After a brief inspection, she said, "Normally, if you cut off your head alive, the tendons of the corpse will retract. After death, the neck will be long, and the tendons will not be expanded. The corpse at the moment, although it is not obvious, is enough to see that this head was cut off after death, and the body was beheaded alive before death. ”
