Chapter 7: Encounter Strange Case Seven

Because of Qiu Xiaoqiu, Qin Tai and Qiu Min could finally breathe a sigh of relief. It's not that Qiu Xiaoqiu can do much by himself, and he can completely complete the work of several people. But as a beginner, Qiu Xiaoqiu's interest was very high, and he didn't need Qiu Min and Qin Tai to remind him, so he came to the autopsy room early every day and made the preparations he could. And because Qiu Xiaoqiu is already a half-sized child, he is the age when he can learn knowledge the most, and his strength is not much smaller than Qin Tai. So Qiu Xiaoqiu only learned the basic steps of how to dispose of corpses in just a few days. As long as Qin Tai and Qiu Min simply reminded them of a few important words, basically Qiu Xiaoqiu could handle them alone.

Qiu Xiaoqiu is a very filial person, he not only regards Qiu Min as a father, but also as a teacher. So as long as the enemy commanded, he tried his best to do it, which was also what his mother secretly told him repeatedly. As for Qiu Xiaoqiu, he has an indescribable reverence for Qin Tai. Because he had seen Qin Tai command the battle in Fujian. For him, Qin Tai is a perfect saint, Qin Tai is not only able to be civil and martial, but also upright, dare to fight with the fierce Japanese robbers, and even dare to stand up to his superiors for the sake of the local people. Don't talk about Qiu Xiaoqiu, all the children in Fujian respected Qin Tai as their idol. Qiu Xiaoqiu was already stunned by the fact that he could be Qin Tai's cousin, be close to Qin Tai, and let Qin Tai personally teach him great skills. If this matter were known to the companions who were far away in Fujian, everyone would be envious to death. Therefore, Qiu Xiaoqiu listened to Qin Tai's words, and from time to time he was learning Qin Tai's words and walking. Even the family members on one side are laughing at Qiu Xiaoqiu as Qin Tai's "shadow", and Qiu Xiaoqiu's cousin-in-law Zhan Xiaoxiao even calls him "Little Qin Tai".

Although Qin Tai is busy these days, his life is very fulfilling. Not only do you not have to worry about safety, but you also don't have to worry about intrigue. Every day, he went to the county government to help his uncle Qiu Min dispose of the corpse, and at the same time taught his cousin Qiu Xiaoqiu some relevant knowledge. At night, she accompanied his wife Zhan Xiaoxiao at home and made Zhan Xiaoxiao's "punching bag", so that Zhan Xiaoxiao could vent some of the sullenness and resentment in her heart.

Since there are no major cases in the county government, and almost all the corpses are of the same cause, it is very simple to deal with. Now even Qiu Xiaoqiu will recite all the steps with his eyes closed. However, Qiu Min, the master and father, is very strict, and took this opportunity to train Qiu Xiaoqiu well. The first step is not to allow Qiu Xiaoqiu to touch the corpse, but to observe the corpse with his eyes and nose alone, and list what external injuries or disabilities the deceased had before his death. In the second step, it is only allowed to touch or turn the corpse with hands, and it is not allowed to destroy the integrity of the corpse, such as the deceased's origin, personality, work industry, age, habits, etc. The third step is to autonomize the deceased, dissect the deceased, clarify the distribution of the deceased's various organs, the characteristics of the bones, and so on. According to the actual situation, write a summary report after the dissection.

Don't clean up the novice Qiu Xiaoqiu, even if you are an ordinary assistant, you can't accomplish so many things alone. Besides, how can a child endure the smell of the dead, and have to dissect the corpse with his own hands. However, the explanation of the enemy is very simple, only by teaching strictly at the beginning can a qualified servant be trained in the shortest possible time. Qiu Xiaoqiu is not only the work of this yamen, but also the pillar of the future autopsy, but also a good assistant left by Qiu Min to Qin Tai. Qiu Min knows very well that his nephew Qin Tai will not go on like this forever, and there will always be a chance to come out again. Once Qin Tai goes out of the mountain again, he will not only need guards around him, but also need an investigation assistant. The old drunkard master is familiar with the "Daming Law", Zhan Xiao is proficient in fists and feet, "Ma Sandao" is a master of interrogation, and Xiao Lingzi is a tracking talent. But Qin Tai still needs a job, and he can't let Qin Tai personally perform an autopsy every time. Besides, Qiu Xiaoqiu can not only help with the autopsy, but also help Qin Tai manage the accounts when necessary. Qiu Min found that his son Qiu Xiaoqiu, like his mother, was a financial expert.

Although Qiu Xiaoqiu was mentally prepared, he still had a "foreign appearance" when he was dissected for the first time. However, neither Qiu Min nor Qin Tai laughed at him, and patiently explained the key factors. Qiu Min told Qiu Xiaoqiu about his own experience, and Qin Tai also told Qiu Xiaoqiu about his experience. Qiu Xiaoqiu summed up the following points, first, you can't eat too much every morning, but you can't eat nothing. If you eat too much, you will easily vomit, and if you don't eat, it will hurt your stomach. Second, you must change into "work clothes" before entering the autopsy room, and remember to change your clothes when you leave the coroner's room. It doesn't feel disgusting and it doesn't feel stressful. Third, you must carry garlic and white vinegar with you, garlic is used to stuff the nose, not only can you not breathe hard through your nose when dissecting, but you must also use garlic to block. In this way, there will be no corpse smell, and there will be no bad air inhaled. White vinegar is used to sterilize and kill viruses, and every time the body is disposed of, not only wash your hands with white vinegar, but also smoke your body with boiling white vinegar, so that there will be no smell on your body. Fourth, you must not have direct contact with the corpse, and you must change into "work clothes" before the autopsy, put on white cloth shoes on your feet, and wear gloves made of white cloth on your hands. Especially when there are wounds on the hands, it is absolutely forbidden to touch the corpses of the unknown cause of death.

For this reason, Qiu Xiaoqiu not only had to recite the precautions every day, but also asked his mother, Qiu Jia's wife, to make him a small box. The small box contained various tools and powders for the autopsy, as well as spare "work clothes" and other things. Of course, it can't be without the autopsy classic book "Clearing Grievances", this book was used by Qin Tai, and Qin Tai gave it to Qiu Xiaoqiu. Not only is this small box not heavy, but Qiu Xiaoqiu carries it on his back all the time, almost never leaving his body. Of course, in addition to this small box, Qiu Xiaoqiu also has several bottles and jars hanging on his body, which are white vinegar, pickled garlic, fried sesame seeds, and so on. White vinegar is used to kill viruses, and garlic is used to stuff the nose, which is something that everyone knows. But I don't know what to do in general, and fried sesame seeds are also useful. Some burned corpses, sometimes even the bones are burned, so it is necessary to use cooked sesame seeds to present the prototype of the corpse. Qin Tai also told Qiu Xiaoqiu a secret, using maltose to determine the scene of the crime and the specific time of death of the deceased who did not know his whereabouts. At that time, a woman reported to the government that she saw a murderer killing her neighbor next door. But when the arrester arrived, not only was there no murderer, but there was not even the body of the deceased. When the head hunter determined that the deceased had disappeared, no clues to the deceased could be found. At this time, a passer-by used this method to not only determine that the murderer killed the deceased in this room, but also to determine that the deceased died on the spot. And according to the traces left by the murderer who dragged away the deceased, the body of the deceased and the murder weapon were found. Although the murderer handled the scene and the body very smartly, it could not completely eliminate all the traces, giving the solver a chance to confirm the murderer. When the murderer was caught, even the murderer couldn't figure out the truth. This passer-by is the famous Song Ci, but this case is not recorded in the "Record of Clearing Grievances". Qin Tai was investigating the case when he heard from a descendant of Song Ci himself. Afterwards, Qin Tai personally walked through the experiment and found that this method really worked. Qin Tai taught this secret to Qiu Xiaoqiu, hoping that Qiu Xiaoqiu would be able to use it in the future. Qin Tai originally wanted to publish a book about solving the case by himself, but because of his special identity, he couldn't and didn't dare to write it. Qin Tai hopes that Qiu Xiaoqiu will compile a book like this based on his own experience in the future, so as to provide more methods and clues for future writers to solve the case.

Qiu Xiaoqiu is also very serious, not only listening carefully during the day, but also writing down the key information after returning home at night. Write it down and understand the meaning as you write it down. If you can't figure it out, you'll have to ask it again tomorrow, and you'll have to absorb it completely. Qiu Min and Qin Tai were very pleased with his seriousness, and they took the trouble to tell Qiu Xiaoqiu again and again. Gradually, Qiu Xiaoqiu became the disciples of Qiu Min and Qin Tai, two autopsy masters. In just a few months, Qiu Xiaoqiu is already more familiar with the process than he has been working for more than ten years. However, Qiu Min and Qin Tai knew that Qiu Xiaoqiu's theoretical knowledge was enough, but Qiu Xiaoqiu lacked practical experience and did not have enough real cases.
