Chapter 316

Xiao Qinglang didn't pay attention to the panicked and overwhelmed Liu He tried, but directly turned his gaze to Xu Chu and watched her carefully put some broken corpses together. Even if it was carrion that had been torn off, she had placed it where it should be, if it had some shapes.

But in half an hour, I saw a messy corpse, which already had a rough outline. Although it is still incomplete, it can also be seen that it is in human form.

"There are no cracks in the skull, no scars from heavy blows. However, the broken neck and limb wounds, the incision is not neat and smooth, and there are broken bones and cracks, which should be done by an axe or other murder weapon. The whole process of dismemberment should be fast, although there are marks of chopping, but there are no repeated chopping and slashing. ”

If it had been chopped repeatedly, there would have been different cuts on the body parts that had been cut into three pieces, but now there are none. It shows that the murderer is very good at dismemberment.

Coupled with the fact that the cow finger bones and rotting beef were found in the corpses, it can be concluded that the person's origin must be related to slaughter.

Cutting people into eight pieces alive and maliciously discarding them to the desolate place where wild dogs are roaming around, no matter what the reason is, it can't help but chill people's hearts.

It's so frustrating......

After listening to Xu Chu's analysis, Xiao Qinglang turned around and gave a few orders to a guard behind him. When the guard heard this, he replied slightly and walked out.

The identity of the corpse in front of you needs to send someone to find suspicious information. In the latter case, it is necessary to find out the butchers and places where the government has allowed the slaughter of live cattle. According to the situation of the cow's finger bones and beef, it should have been killed within a month, so it shouldn't be too difficult to find.

With a new discovery, Mo said that Xiao Qinglang and the guards, and even Tang Qiaozheng, Sikong Han, Lou An and others, who followed the three inspectors who came after hearing the letter, were also in high spirits.

The three of them had questioned the prince's decision in their hearts yesterday, and of course they had different disdains and scrutinies for Xu Chu, but now it seems that they are too worried. How can the people who can be by the prince's side be general?

"However, even if Utuk is not good, he should not be slaughtered. He is also the prince of the Northern Frontier royal family, even if he has never been on the battlefield, he will always struggle and resist. Tang Qiaozheng asked hesitantly.

At this time, Xu Chu found out that there were a few more people in the autopsy room. She thought that the few people who came in and out were Xiao Qinglang's guards, but she didn't expect that they would be the three officials in power of the Three Law Divisions.

She raised her eyebrows, took off her gloves and rubbed her stiff neck, and said, "Normally, you struggle." But now, looking at the traces of the wound, the deceased did not struggle, so I suspect that when he was captured, he should have fallen into a coma. ”

It's a pity that many possible traces have been destroyed by the bite of the wild dog, and she can only speculate and cannot be sure.

Next, there is the second dead envoy of the envoy corps, Mu Zaipaier.

It has been more than 20 days since Mu Zaipaier's death, at this time, his hair has fallen, his body is fat and swollen, his lips are turned up, he is covered with herpes, and his wounds are covered with black and purple blood and corpse water. Smelling it, it was full of foul odors coming from within......

He was broken at the waist and died, and the wound was smooth and neat, without the slightest bone or flesh.

"There were multiple contusions and lacerations on the elbow, back, and buttocks, and a fracture on the back of the head. Because of corruption, it is impossible to determine whether it was man-made or accidental. However, according to its decay and bone adhesion, there are traces of a collision wound on the brain, which should be the scar left by a fall. ”

"The flesh of the broken neck and the dismembered wound are rolled up, and there is a shade of blood, which is left before death. The wound surface is evenly forced, and there is no slowing or acceleration injury...... There were no wavy marks on the wound, no chopping marks, and no knife and axe wounds. She frowned tightly, thinking secretly about the appearance of the murder weapon. Such a scar, but it can cut off a person's waist, and it seems that it has not appeared in the corpse she examined.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up. No, it's not uncommon. In an accident in her previous life, she had met a deceased who committed suicide by jumping off a building and was inadvertently cut off by a barbed wire fence downstairs. The scars at that time were just like this.

"It's a murder weapon like iron wire or a silk thread that's sharp enough."

She looked at Xiao Qinglang with bright eyes and said, "Let people ask if he rode a horse when he left the post station before his death." Or rather, whether horses were lost in the stables of the inn at that time. ”

If he dies on a galloping horse, and after his death, he falls off his horse and is dismantled. Then the horse will have two endings, one is to be shot by the murderer, or to fall into a trap and be trapped. The second is to return to the post station the same way.

If it's the former, it will inevitably leave a trace. If the latter is the case, it may also be found on the traces of the fleeing horses.

Xiao Qinglang did not hesitate, and directly waved his hand to signal the person behind him to go and inquire.

Next, there is the skinned envoy Yarikun. He was also the first person in the entire legation to be killed.

Because it was skinned, it was already blurred with flesh and blood, and the time had passed for more than 20 days. So even if you use ice cubes, it stinks badly at this time.

That appearance is even more tragic than the person who was dismembered before.

Compared with the many frightened onlookers who saw this corpse, Xu Chu's performance was very calm, as if he was just looking at a pile of pork on a chopping board.

However, with her previous experience of inspecting the corpse without changing her face, Liu He and several other examiners did not feel that there was anything wrong with her calmness at this time.

Even, they vaguely felt that she should be like this. This is the state that a pretending and examiner should be, not that they are so jealous of thinking about the future.

"The deceased, male, seven feet long."

Because there was no skin on the body, and the whole corpse was blurred with flesh and blood, making it impossible to start, so in the end, the inspector of the Three Law Divisions could only determine that it was alive and skinned by virtue of the flesh, blood, and bright color at that time.

"There was no trace of mercury on the flesh, so it was ruled out that people were buried alive in the ground and poured into mercury molting. The carrion at the back of the spine was particularly sliced with the vicious juice mixed with corpse fluid, so I concluded that the murderer's first knife was cut along the back of the deceased. The deceased is then unfolded like a butterfly, and then the flesh is separated by a murder weapon such as a knife. ”

"It can be said that although the deceased lost too much blood, the blood he lost before his death was not enough to kill him. He should have been hurt to death......"

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but shudder. Even Liu He and other people who already knew the result, when they heard this conclusion again at this time, they would feel terrified in their hearts.

What kind of grudge is there, to torture people to death like this.

Wei Guang and the others looked away with difficulty, their hearts were cold, and they only felt that the cool air rushed to their backs from the soles of their feet.

They have seen the situation of peeling, when they went to Yunnan with the prince.

There were rumors in the local area that there would be bandit leaders in Yunnan and southern Fujian who would skin the captured officials who went to fight and make human skin drums.

At first, they didn't think so, but later the guards of the king of Yunnan who went to the capital to deter him, and in order to suppress the prince, actually let a so-called bandit leader skin alive at the banquet.

Later, within two days, he sent a human skin drum to the house where the prince stayed. Wei Guangyou remembered the chill and anger exuded by the prince at that time, if it wasn't for the sake of the overall situation, he was afraid that he would have a seizure on the spot.

Later, Yunnan was successfully withdrawn, and the king of Yunnan, who was careless of people's lives, was killed outside the city gate, and the court and the local people jointly elected a new king of Yunnan.

Come to think of it, it has been seven or eight years since I saw the person who was skinned alive again this time and the last trip to Yunnan......

What he can think of, Xiao Qinglang can naturally think of.

Xiao Qinglang's eyes were dark, and he said in a condensed voice: "The peeling method of dividing the skin on the back into two halves with a knife, and then slowly separating the skin from the muscles, is extremely common in Yunnan and southern Fujian. In northern Xinjiang, in the Central Plains region of the same dynasties, if there is a punishment of skinning, most of them bury people in the soil, expose only one head, cut a cross with a knife on the top of the head, and then pour mercury into it. ”

Therefore, it is very likely that the murderer came from the south. Moreover, he is very proficient in peeling techniques, at least not like when Aunt Yang died before, the dough was cut in a mess.

Although the corpses under his hands had long been blurred and decomposed, Xu Chu still took the autopsy knife and carefully dissected the pile of rotten flesh.

At this time, the internal organs of the corpse had long been decomposed, and the green corpse fluid was all over the chest and abdomen, making it impossible to look at it directly.

However, Xu Chu didn't care, she just carefully cut the deceased's stomach with tweezers and a post-mortem knife, and took the mucus in it and stored it in a container. After that, the other parts of the deceased were carefully examined.

There was no damage, no signs of suffocation or drowning, and there were no strange phenomena except for a slight decay of the internal organs. At least, in Xu Chu's opinion, some diseases that are enough for sudden death can be ruled out.

As she spoke, she had already sorted out Arikun's body, and she was barely humanoid except that there was still no human skin.

She sighed and re-covered the dead with the white cloth. Even though the corpse liquid and evil juice had already soaked through the plain cloth, it could still give people dignity.

Her gaze swept over the seven corpses placed side by side, unsure of what she was thinking.

These people, except for the princess who died yesterday, are all sturdy men. Even if Nabi is weaker, the rest are mostly tall and strong people, and they are all helpless to be slaughtered, and there must be a reason for this.

Thinking of this, she carefully put away a few small boxes. It contained all the liquid extracted from the stomach and intestines of the deceased and the undigested food. She suspected that the deceased was not struggling and had a hideous look and state, and that he must have taken some kind of medicine or something that caused him to fall into a deep coma.

When she finally left, she carefully lifted the skull, which had been boiled and had long lost its flesh, to be taken away.
