When all the blackened oiled paper packets were dug out, the officials turned completely pale.

Immediately, two of the timid ones screamed and threw away the saber in their hands and retreated again and again, and one of them was even more frightened.

In fact, after seeing Xu Chu's autopsy, they had already been a little mentally prepared for the tragic death. But what they dug up was neither white bones nor bloody corpses.

If it is said that white bones, even if they are taboo and feel unlucky, they will not be scared to pee their pants.

Xu Chu stepped forward, but in just three or two steps, he had already asked about the disgusting smell of corpse oil and rotten stinky meat.

"Take a few steps back, and don't approach the corpse without my permission."

The highly corrupt stench mixed with sour gas had already made many people turn white, and when they heard Xu Chu speak sharply, they were all even more busy retreating.

In fact, Xu Chu didn't expect to encounter a corpse in such a situation here. You know, the corpse she encountered since she crossed over was never a corpse.

The so-called corpse wax corpse is the waxing of the corpse. When a corpse is buried in wet soil with insufficient air for a long time or soaked in water, the subcutaneous adipose tissue is partially or completely preserved due to saponification and the formation of gray-white or yellowish-white wax-like substance, which is called cadaveric waxing. Cadaver wax is generally waxy, greasy to the touch, can be crushed, and is brittle.

Normally, under the influence of the environment and the deceased's own fat, waxing can form throughout the body between one and a half years and a year.

Xu Chu glanced at Xiao Qinglang, and saw that he had no intention of retreating, so he simply took the spare gloves and mask from the toolbox and handed them over.

"Generally, most of the corpses that have been waxed but still emit rotten corpse oil and gas will emit toxic gases, which will cause great damage to the body of the person who is being examined."

When she had finished explaining, she crouched down to examine the body intently. Xiao Qinglang, on the other hand, glanced at Xu Chu, who was frowning, and put on his mask and gloves as he said.

Xu Chu carefully arranged the corpse, but saw that there were many neat wounds on the limbs and body of the corpse that had been waxed. The yellow-black flesh wound seems to be a little dark red.

The corpse was obviously female, but it was yellow, black and greasy, and the whole skin was wrinkled and shrunken, and it looked very terrible. And the pungent smell of corpses made people's stomachs tumble, and even Xiao Qinglang, who was close, frowned slightly at this time.

The smell of this corpse is more shocking than that of ordinary rotting corpses. Even though I wore a mask, I couldn't isolate the embarrassing smell at all.

Fortunately, his temperament doomed him not to be as happy as ordinary officials, even if he found it unbearable, he still did not change his face. Even, when Xu Chu looked up, he subconsciously took the autopsy sheet and recorded it with the pen and ink in the toolbox.

"The deceased was a woman, between 20 and 23 years old, the body was waxed, her facial appearance could not be distinguished, her body was slightly fat, and she had no obvious features." With that, she shifted her gaze slightly, and stretched out the tweezers in her left and right hands to examine the corpse's hands.

Due to the waxing, a layer of oily liquid oozed out of the corpse at the slightest touch, and the appearance made many people who secretly looked at it shudder. Just by imagining, you can imagine how disgusting the corpse was to the slippery touch.

Xu Chu is a young woman, touching and pressing without frowning, no matter how you look at it, it makes people feel weird.

After about half a cup of tea, I saw Xu Chu reach out and touch the head of the corpse again, and then took the autopsy knife and cut the scalp of the deceased without blinking. That sharpness, coupled with the mucus slowly oozing from the corpse, made all kinds of complicated eyes fall on her more and more.

At this time, no one suspected that she was the one who solved the ghost village case. There are rumors in the market that she is wearing a ghostly fire, protected by ghosts and gods, and is invulnerable to poison. This kind of work is estimated to be the only one in the whole world.

Xu Chuke didn't care about the surprise or vomiting of others, she looked at the skull carefully, and continued: "Died from a heavy blow, the skull was shattered and sunken, and the face was beaten after death......

"How can you confirm that it is posthumous?" Xiao Qinglang rarely spoke.

Xu Chu raised his head and saw that his eyes were calm and suspicious, and there was no doubt or scrutiny between his eyebrows. Inexplicably, she remembered the cold and pressing eyes when the two first met. At that time, he was cold and majestic, and when he looked at himself without words, he was completely scrutinizing.

And when did the two people become so familiar and tacit, even if he was a dignified prince and recorded the autopsy list for himself, it was natural?

However, she did not hesitate much, and directly took the tweezers and carefully opened the small wounds on the top of the deceased's head and face.

"There was no bleeding under the skin, and there was nothing unusual, indicating that the deceased was killed first and then suffered."

Speaking of which, it is the same as the death of the sixth son and the son of the Li family. In other words, the murderer simply imitated the method of killing the woman in front of him.

Seeing Xiao Qinglang nodding, she focused all her attention on the corpse again. Because the corpse oozes a lot of corpse oil, it is difficult to do a thorough autopsy, and because all the waxed corpses are difficult to suture, and Da Zhou does not have the advanced medical and health conditions in her previous life, so she put aside the idea of dissecting and examining after a little thought.

Although Xu Chu also felt that this was a rare corpse, compared to research or accumulating experience, life was the most important thing.

In addition to the waxing, the corpse also had many neat wounds on its body, and after carefully examining it, she took a deep breath and said, "The wounds on the limbs and torso were caused recently, and the latest should be around dawn this morning. ”

As soon as the words fell, she took cotton to wipe the dark red of the wound, and then took a small piece of oiled paper and faced the sun to cover the dark red cotton ball. After a while, it was extremely strange to see that the dark red cotton ball had turned an earthy brown.

"If I'm not mistaken, this should be the blood on the body of the deceased Li Da found this morning." Xu Chu looked at the corpse in front of him and pondered for a moment before he said, "These scars are consistent with the traces left by Li Da's caesarean section after his death, and they should be the work of the same mountain opening knife." ”

That is, after killing Li Da, the murderer did not run away or hide, but returned to this desolate courtyard, exhumed and tortured the corpse, and left unhurriedly after completely venting or agitation.

Now, it doesn't matter why this woman died at the beginning, the important thing is that there is no more suspicious person in the village except for He Tiezhuo.

The first is Xu Chu's analysis and inference from the criminal psychology and methods, and the second is the murder weapon. You must know that even though the farmers in the village go up the mountain to collect firewood, they all use machetes, not mountain knives. On the contrary, it is the hunter, because he has to go into the mountains to set traps or hunt all year round, so he must open the mountain knife.

And the only one who meets the two conditions is He Tiezhuan.

"Look at the scars on this woman's corpse, the accumulation of years is not a day's work, but it can be applied now. The abuser did not completely destroy the body, indicating that he still had a deep hatred for the deceased in his heart. Since he took the risk to sneak into the village house many times to dig up corpses and torture him, it shows that he has already had an addiction in his heart. ”

At first, Xu Chu speculated that because the murderer had never had the opportunity to kill, or he couldn't kill the villagers who had been with him since childhood, he blindly tortured the corpse. But as the tyranny in his heart became more and more serious, he became more and more unable to control his desire to kill bloodthirsty.

And the appearance of the sixth son was a breakthrough that completely awakened the sins hidden in his heart.

At that time, the six sons were left alone to control the horses, and he was finally killed. Then there are only two possibilities, one is that the sixth son found out about his torture of the corpse. The second is that the sixth son inadvertently broke into the mountain and was seen by the people on the copper mine, plus the horse driven by the sixth son is very valuable, and the sixth son is vigorous, so it is suspected that the government tracked it down, and then was killed.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look back at Li Zheng who was far away, got up and stepped forward, stood downwind, and asked after a few steps: "Dare to ask Li Zheng, did you hear any noise or the neighing of horses the night before?" ”

This place is closer to Lizheng's house, and if the six sons and the horses encounter a trap, even if the six sons are unable to make a sound under the heavy blow, the horses should also have some movements or sounds. After all, it was only the six sons who hit with one hit......

Li Zheng thought about it carefully, shook his head and said, "There is no sound, let alone a horse barking, even a cat barking and a dog barking." ”

In the farmhouse, the cattle that can be raised are already remarkable. Who's willing to feed a horse and can't work in the field, so if there is a sound of horses, he will not be mistaken.

In this way, the six sons should have accidentally entered the mountain where the copper mine is located, so that they would be killed.

Xiao Qinglang furrowed his brows, and also left the corpse and walked to Xu Chu's side. However, just when he stood up, Xu Chu slightly sideways and dodged two steps.

His complexion changed slightly, and he was about to say something, but he smelled the smell of corpses emanating from her, and instantly understood in his heart. For a moment, he couldn't tell if he was distressed or what. Her subconscious movements were extremely natural, as if she was doing it casually, which showed that after the previous autopsy, she was afraid that she would be treated coldly when she stood in front of people.

The sun is slightly oblique, and the continuous post-mortem examination for a day has already made Xu Chu hungry. However, she knew in her heart that this was not the time to rest and eat.

"The murderer has become addicted to killing, he has had pleasure for two consecutive nights, and he will definitely do it again tonight." Xu Chu pondered for a while, and said in a calm tone, "I wonder how long it will take for the helper that Gongzi is looking for to arrive?" ”

She asked vaguely, but clearly. She needs Xiao Qinglang's help, in addition to the guards who protect Xiao Qinglang, it is not enough to deter the murderer by relying on a few officials brought by the Huang County Order to arrest quickly.

"I'm probably almost in the village, and according to the distance, I can get there in about a quarter of an hour at the latest."

"Then all the people tonight, including the officials and the son's men, will patrol the village with great fanfare, and the village entrance and the mountain road will be guarded."
