Chapter 557: Once Tortured
Lao Jiu was a very decisive person, and after knowing that the operation had failed, he immediately sent a message to Pei Shu and asked for guilt, and at the same time stored the corpse with ice cubes and rushed back with the corpse.
The identities of their group have been clarified, and it is pointless to stay in Penglai, it is better to turn around as soon as possible, and get some clues through the autopsy.
In addition to the above-mentioned incidents, Chen Ying also has an extremely detailed environmental information about the place where the crime occurred, that is, Liu Pan's residence.
This was written by Pei Shuming Lao Jiu.
This information covers almost everything, such as the orientation of the house, the size of the house, the furnishings, the garden layout, the bricks and tiles, the lacquered wood, and even the mud and sand on the ground, the grass on the walls, the air humidity on the night of the crime, the direction of the wind, etc.
Pei Shu knew very well that when Chen Ying decided the case, he liked to start with the subtleties the most, and the results were amazing, so he gave a death order, forcing Lao Jiu and others to reminisce all night, and they never even slept well.
Fortunately, he has a good memory, a fine personality, and there are quite a few observant and flexible people in the team, so he barely made the difference.
Thinking of this, Chen Ying couldn't help but smile lightly, put the briefing into her sleeve, and Pei Shu also adjusted the candlestick, Chen Ying put on a mask and began the autopsy.
The first thing to look for was two puncture wounds on the corpse: one in the armpit and the other in the throat.
Among them, the throat was fatally wounded, and the trachea was completely pierced.
As for the axillary puncture wound, according to the analysis of the shape and color of the wound, it should have occurred before the throat puncture wound, and the puncture was not deep.
Chen Ying wrote down all this with charcoal, then took out iron chopsticks, picked open the two wounds, observed the state of the epidermis, the shape of the cross-section, etc., and then came to the conclusion:
Both stabs were caused by the same sharp weapon, and were initially inferred to be daggers, short swords, or other cold weapons with flat shapes and sharp tips.
In addition, a number of bruises were found on the wrists of the corpse's hands and ankles, which were blue-green in color.
From this, it can be inferred that the time of Liu Pan's death should be five to six days ago, that is, the day Lao Jiu was arrested.
Moreover, it is a prenatal injury.
Chen Ying frowned.
She thought of a possibility.
Or maybe it's the only possibility.
Even though the mask covered her face, the drowsiness in her eyes was still captured by Pei Shu.
"What's wrong?" He immediately asked, looking rather anxious.
The Penglai County operation failed, and he desperately hoped to find out something from the autopsy.
"There is indeed one point, it is difficult to say at the moment." Chen Ying said.
Through the mask, her voice was a little muffled.
Pei Shu let out a low "hmm" and said no more.
Chen Ying did not speak again, silently turned to the head of the bed, opened the deceased's mouth with iron chopsticks, and took a closer look.
"I see." A moment later, her clean voice sounded in the room, cold as a spring.
As soon as the words landed, she put the iron chopsticks into the deceased's mouth, picked out a few things from them, and carefully placed them in the white porcelain plate beside her.
"How? Did you find anything? Pei Shu finally couldn't help it and asked again.
"There are some." Chen Ying said briefly, walked to the side of the corpse, stretched out his gloved hand, raised one of the corpse's hands, and motioned Pei Shu to observe the ecchymosis on it: "Look at this scar on the wrist, it is in a wrapping shape. In my opinion, this is caused by rope bondage. ”
She pointed out the other three bruises, which were located on the other wrist and on the ankles of both feet, and continued: "There are also ecchymoses of the same shape in these places, and according to the color of the ecchymoses, it is inferred that they were all caused by death. That is to say, on the night of the incident and before his death, Liu Pan was likely to have been tortured once. ”
"Torture?" Pei Shu looked at her in shock, as if he couldn't believe it: "Do you mean that before Lao Jiu and them touched him, Liu Pan was first caught and tortured by the murderer, and then killed?" ”
"I think so." Chen Ying's tone was affirmative, and Fu raised his hand to the deceased's left arm, pointing to the stab wound under his armpit: "There is also the injury here, Ah Shu, don't you think the injury is in this position, it's strange?" ”
Pei Shu was stunned, and then his eyes were contemplative.
Chen Ying didn't say that he hadn't felt it yet, but now that he thinks about it, it's really weird.
Generally speaking, when one party attacks with a sharp blade, the attacked party will instinctively bend their arms to protect their heart and lungs, and their armpits are also protected.
However, the murderer stabbed Liu Pan in the armpit, is it a coincidence?
At this time, Chen Ying had already picked up the wound under his armpit with the iron chopsticks, turned out the half-rotten muscles inside, and turned to Pei Shu: "As far as I know, there is a big tendon under the armpit of the human body, whether it is beaten, stabbed or hit with a blunt object, it will produce severe pain, which is far more unbearable than injuries elsewhere. If you take a closer look, does this thorn wound just break a vein? ”
Pei Shu was confused when he heard this, and stepped forward to take a closer look, and sure enough, there was a small piece of blackened tendon on the shiny chopsticks.
"The incision at the broken tendon was neat, and it was obviously cut by a sharp weapon, and the knife was withdrawn immediately after the cut, and it was not further pierced." Chen Ying said again, wiped the iron chopsticks on the corpse cloth, and turned around and walked to the head of the bed.
"In addition, I also found multiple bleeding spots and several fibers in Liu Pan's mouth." Chen Ying moved the head of the corpse so that it was facing the candlelight so that Pei Shu could see it clearly.
Pei Shu hurriedly approached again, stared at the corpse's mouth for a long time, and shook his head: "That's it, I can't see anything." ”
Although his eyesight was excellent, he had only touched too few corpses, far less experienced than Chen Ying, and he had found nothing.
However, he was convinced of what Chen Ying said.
In the matter of judging the case, every word Chen Ying said was reasonable, and any suspicion was a joke, which Pei Shu had also personally experienced.
Thinking like this, he asked again: "But I don't know, what does the bleeding point in this mouth mean?" And what's that...... What is the fiber and what is it? ”
"What's in that little plate is fiber." Chen Ying carefully put down the head of the corpse, picked up the white porcelain plate, and presented it to Pei Shu: "Look, there are a few filaments like hair, which are what I call fibers." ”
Pei Shu finally saw it clearly this time.
It's really hard to see clearly, and in the snow-white saucer, there are a few unrecognizable, half-eroded, and extremely thin threads.
"I see." He nodded knowingly.
It turns out that this so-called fiber is a thin thread.
He made a note of it.
Chen Ying said again at this time: "Normally, there are multiple bleeding spots in the mouth and a small amount of fibrous, which can only indicate one thing: Liu Pan has been gagged by cloth objects, and he was still forcibly stuffed into it. And those two stab wounds should have been formed when his hands and feet were tied and his mouth was blocked. ”
