Aunt Chu was surprised by Xu Chu's attentive expression when she looked at the corpse, but she still didn't believe that she could really perform the examination of the corpse to the extreme as Xiao Qinglang said.

Xu Chu didn't care about the eyes and speculation of others, just got rid of distracting thoughts and prepared to go under the knife. She looked at the corpse and frowned slightly. After thinking for a while, she raised her head and looked at Zhang Youwei and said, "My lord, I'm afraid that the internal organs of the corpse are ulcerated seriously, and the taste and condition will not be too good." Do you want to keep reading, or do you want to stay away for a while? ”

At this time, even if you have pills in your mouth, atractylodes and soaphorns, it is difficult to stop the smell of corpses. What's more, the corpse lying in front of him now, where can it still be called a corpse, it is no different from a pile of rotten flesh that is about to be destroyed.

However, thinking of the urgency of this case, he couldn't care too much, so he had to endure the churning nausea in his stomach, and said solemnly: "The girl only cares about the test, and there is no need to worry about the official." ”

Xu Chu got the letter, so he didn't delay any longer, reached out and took the thin autopsy knife with a cold glow, and directly cut open the chest cavity of the corpse.

Unlike the previous autopsy, the internal organs of the corpse were already blurred and adhered to at this time, and many bubbles surged inside the knife. Then came the sound of the "fluttering" of knives and flesh touching. What's more, in some places, as soon as the knife is slashed, a puddle of turquoise slime emerges, and then it dries up.

Everyone's scalps were numb, and even Aunt Chu's face turned pale. In the dead morgue on a sunny dayday, there was only the sound of gasping and the sound of frightened footsteps.

An official who dances knives and guns every day in the yamen, and when he eats and brags on weekdays, he often says how bold he is and dares to sleep in a mass grave all night. But at this time, looking at Xu Chu's neat movements, as well as the meat strips that were slowly removed, and the white plain cloth gloves that slowly soaked and turned green, it was terrifying.

With the movement of Xu Chu's hand, the sternum and ribs suddenly appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and almost at the same time, the intestines and organs in the corpse also flowed open. Not to mention the smell, the visual impact alone is enough for people to have weak legs and nausea in their stomachs.

Wei Guang, who thought he had been used to it for a long time, also looked ugly at this time, endured the filth that was about to roll out, and turned his gaze away.

Only Xiao Qinglang was still looking at it with a condensed face, making a portrait to record the autopsy process in detail.

"Aunt Chu, I will remove the carrion of the corpse later, and try to remove the relatively intact internal organs of the corpse for examination. You helped me put the organs that were starting to melt in place. ”

Xu Chu glanced at the situation in the chest cavity, and saw that the internal organs had already appeared self-melting, and the proteins and lipids in the inactive cells had also begun to explain, which were rapidly rotting and seriously corroded. It is difficult to tell what the deceased had eaten before his death, or whether there was any abnormality in the trachea.

Before Aunt Chu could speak, several officials guarding around her vomited unbearably, and ran quickly and directly to the door and vomited. And as strong as Zhang Youwei was holding on, he couldn't help but turn around and want to vomit at this time.

All of a sudden, the morgue was full of gagging, and even the ground near the coroner's table was filthy, and there was no clean place left.

Xiao Qinglang stood straight with a cold face, as if he was not affected. But the blue fingers that pinched the barrel of the pen, and the lip line that was pursed into a straight line, revealed his patience. It wasn't because he was dissected by Xu Chu and the scene of corpse fluid flowing everywhere was like this, but after a burst of vomiting, the morgue really smelled bad, and his feet were also full of acid water.

The cold wind poured in from outside, and instantly brought the smell from the outside closer, and the smell of the corpse directly penetrated into everyone's noses, making everyone's stomachs churn even more. As a result, everyone who vomited to the emptiness of their stomachs retched again, only to feel dizzy.

Aunt Chu, who had been enduring the nausea, was shocked indescribably at this time, making it difficult for her feet to move like a stormy wave. Although she thought that Xu Chu would really perform an autopsy, she didn't expect that she really didn't shy away from ghosts and gods so neatly.

Autopsy, don't say it's her, even if it's an old inspector in the inner court, she doesn't dare to try it easily. Especially if the corpse that has begun to decompose, even if it is allowed to be autopsied, no one will really take over.

She thought that she had been a female official in the court of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and it was already rare for her to dare to inspect the corpse. But I didn't want to, there was still a bold woman like Xu Chu in the world, and she was not afraid of the carrion.

A quarter of an hour ago, when she entered the morgue, she had thought about how to expose Xu Chu and let her prince see that this was just a person who was selling his reputation and fame. But she didn't want to, before she could tell her thoughts, she had already been slapped in the face.

She considered herself an insider, and although she had never dissected a corpse herself, she had heard of it. Even in the court, with the permission of the saint, the examiner did not dare to use the knife easily, and he would be cautious every time he examined, lest he would not find useful information after dissecting. But I don't want to, Xu Chu, a person who doesn't seem to have much experience, every move is like an old man who has been acting for decades, so that people can't find problems. Even, the courage and precision of the knife had already shocked her.

However, before she could take a few more looks, she saw that Xu Chu had already separated the organs in the corpse one by one, and then carefully took them out and placed them on the cloth towel that had been prepared on the side. The walls of the stomach were cloudy, and the room was full of blue-green mucus, and it was impossible to continue dissecting and examining it. However, looking at the internal organs and ribs, except for the blunt force wound on the back shoulder, there were no signs of injury from the violent blow before the deceased's death.

"There was no damage to the deceased's internal organs caused by external force, and there were no signs of abuse on the body surface, so the deceased should not have experienced struggle, resistance and fighting. However, looking at the phenomenon of gastric wall self-melting, there should be no signs of poisoning, but the specific situation requires me to check the gastric juice before making a conclusion. She explained, pointing to the organs that she had removed, "The shape is intact, and the missing parts are caused by the decay and melting of the corpse caused by it being left for too long." ”

The moment she stretched out her hand, several officials took a step back in unison. Zhang Youwei also pursed his lips and looked at the past.

Xu Chu, who was focused on the corpse, did not take too much care of the discomfort of others, endured the discomfort of nasal congestion, and took over the stomach wall that was placed by Aunt Chu. Then she carefully scraped it up with a blade and a simple container made of oiled paper, and the blue-green gastric juice fell drippingly, but in a moment it flowed a puddle.

"Now after removing the carrion, the bones of the dead can be seen." Xu Chu nodded at the ribs and pelvis, and continued, "The deceased woman, according to the calcification of the ribs, there should be a perennial calcium deficiency, some malnutrition, and more importantly, this person has never given birth. ”

"Never had children?" Zhang Youwei's voice rose suddenly, and he couldn't even care about his nausea, and asked directly, "Are you sure?" ”

"Naturally certain. The pubic symphysis is composed of the pubic discs on both sides of the pelvis connected by fibrocartilage, and the fissure between pregnant women and mothers is large, and even scars may form. But there is no abnormality in the deceased here, and the thickness and thickness of the interval are only found by nulliparous women. Xu Chu did not remove the bone, but after removing the rotten flesh, he used a cloth towel and other materials to absorb the rotten liquid, and then exposed the white bones inside.

Zhang Youwei saw that she was serious, although he didn't understand it very well, but he also looked up, and sure enough, he saw that there was some cartilage symphysis pointed to under her autopsy knife.

Seeing him nodding, Xu Chu continued: "When I checked the file with my son before, it was clearly written that Liu Zhen had children, his son was away all the year round, and his daughter was already married. Then this corpse, even if it has the same birthmark as Liu Zhen's, it should not be hers. Her tone was deep, her dark eyes shining with a cold light, and she asserted, "So, there is someone else who died!" ”

She stored some of the fluid in the abdomen and carefully re-stitched it back with tweezers. After doing all this, he looked at the corpse with a condensed gaze and pondered. It stands to reason that a normal corpse, even if there is no fatal injury on the surface of the body, can be autopsied and the cause of death can be found.

But right now, although the inside of this corpse has begun to decompose, there is also more oily mucus in the tracheal blood vessels in the chest cavity, which makes it difficult to test. But in her experience, there was no trauma to the body......

There were no signs of violence, no signs of poisoning, and the gastric juice and putrefaction in the abdomen did not appear abnormal. So what exactly is the cause of death?

She subconsciously looked up at Xiao Qinglang, facing the pair of deep and cold eyes, which made her involuntarily slightly stunned. Then, a low, cold voice sounded in her ear.

"It's not poisoning, it's not a heavy blow, so what's the cause of death?" Xiao Qinglang put away the autopsy list, didn't pay attention to the gaffes of others, and didn't care about Aunt Chu, who had despised Xu Chu before, was surprised by Xu Chu's skillful autopsy method at this time. He frowned, approached Xu Chu's side directly, looked at the corpse and suddenly spoke.

In this regard, Xu Chu was also a little at a loss, could it be that the fatal wound was on the skull? After all, she had already checked the internal organs of the corpse clearly, and there was no sign of external damage or toxin erosion.

After a long time, Xiao Qinglang's gaze swept over the broken neck, pondered for a moment and asked, "In the current situation, can you check whether the deceased was strangled to death?" ”

Xu Chu followed his line of sight, and also landed his gaze on the section with a blue and purple color. There was more liquid oozing out than yesterday, and it had already stained a large area of the neckline.

She nodded, and explained: "Because the phenomenon of self-melting of corpses is serious, it is not certain that it will be detected." However, in general, whether it is strangulation or hanging, or death from a serious head injury, the corpse will have a suffocation reaction. ”
