However, Xu Chu didn't feel anything about the looks of others, and now she only sighed heartily in her heart, sure enough, someone in the court is good. This pair of gloves specially made by Xiao Qinglang is very thin, but the toughness and touch are excellent. What's more, I don't know if it's the characteristics of silk this day, or if a special process is used, the corpse liquid and other things can't penetrate, which makes Xu Chu a little more secure during the autopsy.

Thinking of this, her previous annoyance with Xiao Qinglang because of Zhang Fu'er gradually dissipated. In fact, she didn't understand that person was not a person who liked the new and hated the old at all, he had always been cold to outsiders, especially he didn't like women to get close.

Probably, Xu Chu at this time had not yet discovered that he had subconsciously turned Xiao Qinglang into his own. If Hua Wuxian and Xiao Mingzhu knew her thoughts, they would have made fun of a few words, and maybe they would give her or Xiao Qinglang the name of an insider.

After seeing the subtleties of the deceased, Xu Chu also had a conclusion in his heart. However, she still looked at Li Yanzuo, who had checked the characteristics of the corpse again, and took the lead in asking, "Senior, can you have a conclusion?" ”

When Li Yanzuo saw her asking, he naturally didn't dare to ask for it. The first two post-mortems had taught him a lot from this girl. Later, he took the opportunity to look through a lot of ancient books and miscellaneous books, and sure enough, he found that many situations had already been recorded in the books.

Then, he also used the dead pig as a reference, and found that the situation was exactly the same as what Xu Chu said. At this point, he was more pleased and respectful to Xu Chu, who behaved calmly and neatly, and did not look like an autopsy.

He paused slightly, frowned and said, "Don't hide it from the girl, this corpse is very strange." According to what the young ladies and maids said just now, half an hour ago, Miss Qiu was still talking with everyone. Later, someone proposed to hide and seek, so that the ladies of the family hid separately......"

However, according to the following examination, the muscles of the deceased's body did not appear to be relaxed at all, and they were already in a state of stiffness, and the joints could not be flexed. All these phenomena indicate that the deceased died at least an hour ago. In fact, he also felt very embarrassed in front of the naked/naked female corpse, and the corpse of a young lady who was fresh and had not yet come out of the cabinet.

But thinking of Xu Chu's calm expression during the autopsy, as well as the sentence that the deceased is great, and the autopsy must not be perfunctory, it was difficult for him to have any other thoughts.

Xu Chu nodded, thought for a moment and said, "My conclusion is just the opposite, the so-called zombie morture of the deceased is not the real corpse zombie. ”

"You and I both know that the earliest phenomenon of a corpse after death is that the face is pale, the muscles are relaxed, and the temperature of the corpse drops. Muscle relaxation will cause the pupils to dilate, the eyes to open slightly, the lips to open slightly, the mechanism to relax, and the joints are easy to flex. ”

"But seniors, please see, the deceased's face is red, and the so-called stiffness is only a local appearance, not a whole body stiffness." Xu Chu said, and reached out to press the bite muscle of the deceased's jaw joint, "If it is really a corpse stiffness, then it should be here that is the first to stiffen." But now, the most severe muscle stiffness is the deceased's hands and arms, and even the joints of the right leg are stiff and unbendable. ”

Normally, if the zombie does spread to the limbs, the purple-red corpse spots will inevitably appear on the skin underneath the corpse. Moreover, the corpse spots will take on the form of a cloud, which is not difficult to spot.

But now, on the back of the deceased, there is not the slightest phenomenon of corpse spots that have accumulated.

The only explanation is that the time of her death was just now, less than half an hour.

Xu Chu speculated slightly in his heart that he had seen her half an hour ago. And a quarter of an hour ago, except for the matter of the Wei family's son, she didn't care about the young ladies here, and followed Mrs. Wei and Mrs. Liu directly to the front hall.

In this way, the exact time of death of the deceased should be within a quarter of an hour.

At this time, not to mention Li Yan, who listened carefully to her story, even Xu Qinhe looked at her in surprise. He originally thought that the rumors outside were mythologizing Xu Chu, but he didn't expect that she really had some ability.

When General Huang, who was busy with the affairs of the front hall, brought people over, he happened to hear the delicate little lady say something about corpses and not corpses. The words, as if he were saying that he was going to be trained today, really made him curious.

So, five big and three thick, he also looked into the crowd. But when he saw a carcass on the white cloth on the ground, he was so frightened that he suddenly shrank his neck.

"But what was the cause of Miss Qiu's death? And why is there such a noticeable stiffness of the corpse in such a short period of time? Li Tongzuo was puzzled, he had been conducting autopsies for the yamen for decades. I can't say that there are too many corpses I have seen, but I dare to say that on the boundary of Jinzhou City, there is no one who has higher post-mortem skills than him.

After all, what he learned was not entirely taught by a book or by a master. Otherwise, how could he make an exception and gain some face in the yamen?

However, in normal times, what he learned was enough to cope. Because there are not so many bizarre and bizarre cases in the state city, most of them are obvious situations, so he is not embarrassed by ordinary times.

If the investigation is not possible, the government will send another person to assist. If it is still impossible to get useful information, the official will also start to solve the case from the side, or report the case to the Beijing Criminal Department as an unsolved case.

After that, the head of the criminal department will make a decision according to the priority of the case.

Of course, if an unsolved case is reported, the ministry will often put the local officials back when evaluating the officials' performance. Therefore, Li Chengzuo did not dare to say that the corpses he had handled were all inquests accurate without exception.

It's like the corpses of Aunt Yang and Aunt Liu before, if it weren't for Xu Chu, I'm afraid that the conclusions he reached would also be biased. Even if it is not hindered by the facts of the case, it will make the case stall.

Xu Chu saw that Li Cheng had a dignified expression, his eyes were serious and he was not afraid of himself, and he did not look annoyed and angry because the conclusion was refuted, but listened carefully. So, she simply explained slowly.

"Normally, after death, the skin loses its blood color and elasticity, but the deceased's face is red, and there is only one possibility, that is, there is bleeding or small bleeding spots on her face. The most likely cause of this phenomenon is that the deceased's neck was compressed before his death, resulting in momentary suffocation. ”

"And the corpse is not loose and soft all over the body, and there is only one possibility that the heel joint is directly stiff in some places. That is, at the moment of death, the deceased had a corpse spasm. Then the muscles of the whole body contracted violently, and the joints could not be flexed, in this case, it naturally became the situation of Miss Qiu's family. ”

"In short, at the moment of death, the muscles immediately contract forcefully, and quickly form a stiff body, fixing the limbs in the dying position. In other words, the reason why Miss Qiu's arms and fingers are stiff is because she had this action before her death. ”

Li Yanzuo was already cautious in matters involving corpses, not to mention that he had never heard of what Xu Chu said about corpse spasms at the moment, so he would naturally get to the bottom of it.

However, Xu Chu did not disappoint him, and after a little wording, he tried to explain it with obvious examples.

"My predecessors have been doing things for many years, and I think I should have examined the bodies of people who were martyred or committed suicide."

"Well, quite a bit."

"Just as described in the book outside, some people are martyred, and they can't let go of each other, and this is caused by the spasm of the corpse. Or the drowning person has an eagle's claw-shaped hand, and even holds mud, sand, aquatic weeds, and other things in his hand. ”

"And now the corpse still has a little obvious spasm, that is, the lips and teeth are open, and the hand is pressed but it cannot be closed." As she spoke, she took a ball of cotton with her tweezers and gently reached into the corpse's mouth.

It's just a back and forth, and when I take it out again, there is a dark red on top of the white cotton.

"The deceased must have bit something before he died, and it was so strong that it caused bleeding gums." She paused, pinched the deceased's jaw again, and looked inside, "The bleeding condition of the deceased's gums is unknown, if you want to determine whether the blood stains are someone else, or the deceased himself, we will need to be dissected and examined later." ”

In fact, if you really talk about qualifications and the number of corpses you have seen, Xu Chu may really not be as good as Li Chengzuo, an old man who has dealt with corpses for most of his life. However, in her previous life, she had experienced hundreds or even thousands of years of experience in post-mortem and examiner, and she had systematically studied various corpses, and even had various corpses in the laboratory for study.

No matter how many times the theoretical knowledge she has in this era. Just said that a corpse would be examined to the extreme, and under the current conditions of the Great Zhou Dynasty, she dared to say that no one could compare to her.

Therefore, she was really not surprised that Li Cheng did not know about the spasm of the corpse. Because she has long been integrated into the Great Zhou Dynasty, she clearly knows that there are very few books and experiences that can be used for reference.

Just because it's a lowly job, no one wants to be contaminated. No one is willing to bother to give away the income of a lifetime with their hands. Even if there were, there were probably no bookstores willing to sell or circulate it.

It is not easy for a person to live peacefully and innocently. Who can say that if they can fulfill their duties and report the autopsy conclusions according to the truth, it is probably the most conscientious thing they can do.

The rest is not within their reach.

She looked at Li Yanzuo and saw that he looked suddenly enlightened, so she continued: "Actually, there may not be no scars on the corpse, but it is not revealed now, there are only two possibilities. One is that someone smeared madder juice on the scar to cover the scar. In this case, we can use licorice juice to wash away the medicinal properties of madder. The second is that the scars have not yet been revealed, so they need to be splashed with vinegar, and then hot compresses with green onions, peppers, salt, and white plums on suspicious places. ”
