Chapter 135 Popular Science Time
Leng Zexian readily agreed, and Qian Ye had no objections, so the two came to the morgue again.
Compared with the morgue in the middle of the night, this place in the middle of the night is still not a little lifeless, and it is still terrifyingly tight.
It was the same room as last time, but there was already a faint smell of blood floating in the air. It was Lord Wang who stopped on the stone platform, and compared to the last time, this time it was cut very thoroughly. Dr. Zhou did not have the slightest softness, and the skin and flesh were very terrible.
"Come and see." Dr. Zhou picked up a pair of hand covers again, put them on, and began to look through the neck of the corpse. "When a person dies, purple-red patches appear on the skin of the underground part of the corpse, called corpse spots. The timing of the appearance of corpse spots is generally within one to two hours after death, and before that, the corpse appears first is corpse stiffness. After death, the human body usually begins to stiffen between two quarters of an hour and one hour, and after three to four hours it becomes completely stiff, and continues to operate for the next fifteen hours. It will then gradually soften and return to its original form after about thirty-five hours, but if the surrounding temperature is higher than normal, the corpse will begin to soften within twelve or fifteen hours. These are all important factors that will disrupt the determination of the time of death of the corpse. However, if the corpse is buried in the soil and does not come into contact with the outside air, the rate of decay of the corpse will also be slowed down, and the series of manifestations on the corpse will also become slow. And the appearance of corpse spots also changes with the change of temperature.
The scars shown by corpses at different times are different, because in the process of human activity, because of the circulation of blood, some relatively minor scars will gradually disappear with the flow of blood. But the corpse is a dead thing, and the blood has long since lost its activity, so at this time, some scars that could not be seen when you were alive will be exposed at this time. Perhaps a wound that was not exposed at first will appear after the corpse, like this bruise I am pointing at now. ”
The blood of the living tastes very different from the blood of the dead. Qian Ye endured the slight discomfort in his stomach and looked towards the place that Doctor Zhou was pointing. Sure enough, there was a faint trace, and if you didn't look closely, it would definitely be mixed with the surrounding corpse spots.
Dr. Chow took out a small knife from the toolbox, which looked very sharp. "I didn't do it because I was waiting for you." As she spoke, she nestled the slender knife in her hand and slashed it toward the neck. The knife was thin and sharp, and with a single slash, it cut through the skin of the neck.
To Qianye's surprise, there was no blood in that knife, not even a tiny blood spot.
Because it was a corpse, the blood did not flow, and Wang was sitting in a chair when he died, so most of the blood rushed to the lower limbs, and to the neck, where there were only some scattered capillaries except for the arteries, and in some cases there would be no bleeding.
"Look at it, there has been no bleeding on the side of the neck until now." At this moment, the knife had penetrated deep into the throat, against the hyoid bone. "This can prove that Lord Wang was not strangled by others." Most strangulation cases leave deep bruises on the neck of the deceased, even if they are not visible at the time, but after the blood flow of the deceased body stops. "Under normal circumstances, if the deceased is strangled to death, in addition to being deprived of breathing, it is more likely that the hyoid bone and neck bone will be broken. There was indeed a small amount of bleeding under Lord Wang's hyoid bone, but it was within the normal range, which means that the murderer did not hold Lord Wang's neck from the front, but strangled it from behind. Under normal circumstances, such behavior is usually just used to stop the actions of others. ”
"Perhaps, the murderer didn't want Lord Wang to see his face! This means that he was not masked at the time, or it is very likely that he was an acquaintance of Lord Wang! Leng Ze was startled first, and blurted out.
In this case, it is also possible. However, let's take a look, this is the real cause of Lord Wang's death. "A small patch of hair has been removed from the head of the corpse, revealing a patch of skin that lacks sunlight. At this time, a detailed blood spot was clearly presented in front of everyone's eyes. The tip of the knife had already picked open the congealed skin, and under the blood spot was a small trace of metal.
"This is the silver needle that pierced Lord Wang's brain?" Qian Ye frowned and said. "Actually, there is one question that I have always been puzzled by. It stands to reason that even if Lord Wang had lost his mind at that time, the first long needle pierced into his body would definitely be in severe pain. Why, he didn't have the slightest reaction, if he shouted, why couldn't the six sons outside hear it? Even if there are no six sons, what about the guards who patrol the night? ”
"That's really weird."
"This is going to be examined by dissecting the stomach of the corpse. It's all strange that I found out the cause of Lord Wang's death that day, and I was a little carried away, and I forgot the part I should be looking for. ”
"Then tell me, what is the cause of Lord Wang's death?" Leng Zexian was not afraid of those flesh and blood, so he asked.
Dr. Zhou nodded and explained: "Judging from the wounds on the corpse, it can be judged that the first time he fainted because of the long needle pierced into the male gen, he must have been in extreme pain at that time, and his knee-jerk reaction should be to curl up and cover the injury." But judging from the sitting posture of Lord Wang at the time of his death, there was nothing abnormal on his body. That means that after he fainted due to severe pain, he woke up briefly. At this time, the second murderer appeared, saw him wake up, and grabbed him by the back of the neck and forced him to bow his head. At this time, he used a silver needle to pierce the Baihui acupoint, only for a moment. But," he paused, and then continued, "Lord Wang did not die on the spot, but gradually died in the process of continuing. The blood of the dead does not clot, only the blood of the living. The drop of blood that had spilled over his head had clearly crusted over, not even when the silver needle had been pierced, but after that. That means that during this period, Lord Wang was alive, and he didn't gradually die until later. And this point, I confirmed my guess, Lord Wang is very likely to be given dumb medicine, so that he can't call for help. From this point of view, the murderer's viciousness is simply shameful! However, before dissecting the stomach, the skull needs to be opened, because the murderer has great strength and speed, and he can pierce a silver needle deeply, and if you want to take it out, this is the only way. ”
"Craniotomy?" Qian Ye frowned and looked at Leng Zexian. "Is that really going to be the case?" The ancients regarded the dead as the greatest, and it is still a little unacceptable that they want to cut Lord Wang beyond recognition.
"Open!" Leng Zexian said with a calm face: "This is a necessary process to find the murderer, and Shen Li will definitely understand it." "It takes a craniotomy to remove the silver needle, and this is one of the murder weapons in this case.
Doctor Zhou's expression was solemn, and after burning incense and bowing to Lord Wang, he took out the knife again, took out the surrounding hair, and replaced it with a saw.
The density of the skull is so dense that an ordinary knife cannot cut it completely and carefully, so it can only be cut through with the help of a saw, and then replaced with a smaller knife to slowly remove it along the traces.
There was a harsh cutting sound in my ears, and unlike the sound of sawing on wood, the bones were harder, and the sound was naturally slightly different. The voice echoed through the empty room, sounding terrifying. Qian Ye only felt that his cold hairs stood up, and a chilling feeling arose.
Suddenly, a hand landed on her shoulder, almost causing her to scream and jump.
"If you're afraid, go out and wait." The person who spoke was Leng Zexian, and looking at Qian Ye's pale face, he said worriedly.
"It's okay, just get used to it." Everyone has a first time, as long as you get used to it. Just like at the beginning, when her first bullet entered the human body, she was not very accustomed to shooting and killing. So, habits are really a scary thing. Habits can change everything, including the human heart.
"Okay then." Leng Ze saw her persistence first, patted her shoulder, and compromised. "But if there's anything uncomfortable, just let me know." When he saw the autopsy for the first time, he vomited so badly that he didn't eat a grain of rice for three days. Therefore, he was particularly clear about Qianye's reaction.
Qian Ye had never seen a corpse, to be precise, she had never seen such a fresh corpse, of course, according to her previous experience, there was absolutely no way to get in touch with these.
The inside of the cut skull was a white brain with a yellowish tint, and in Qian Ye's opinion, the appearance of that thing was a bit like tender tofu, more like the shape of a walnut, and even the lines were very similar.
After removing the surrounding bones, the silver needle was carefully removed, and a clearly visible hole could be seen in the bone to which it was attached.
"This murderer really has a lot of strength!" It is not easy to nail a silver needle deep into the skull. Besides, it is a small and soft thing like a silver needle. "This kind of technique doesn't seem to be something ordinary people can do, right?" Qian Ye frowned, feeling that the previous speculation that the murderer was not a professional killer was a little untenable at this moment.
Leng Zexian naturally thought of it first, his sword eyebrows furrowed, and he seemed to be thinking about it.
"Money can make ghosts grind!" Doctor Zhou said lazily on the side, "If someone gives the killers a large sum of money and asks him to kill Lord Wang, it is also possible!" ”
"If it's a professional killer, this case is even more troublesome." Qian Ye sighed and said. "However, if it is a professional killer, the key is to find the person who instigated it, after all, he is the culprit. In the end, Lord Wang provoked someone to send someone to kill him three times and twice! ”
"I'm afraid this point will involve the government." Leng said in a deep voice first.
Dr. Zhou looked at the two of them, picked up the tools on the side, took out a special needle and thread from the box, and with the help of the apprentice, quickly sutured the wounds between the neck and the skull, and finally took out the bloodstains around the wound with a handkerchief soaked in alcohol.
