Chapter Eighty-Six: Imperative

Ran Yan lit atractylodes and soaphorns in front of the coffin, then put on gloves and looked through the bones in the coffin. Due to the long time the corpse is buried in the ground, the corpse and the surrounding information, traces and physical evidence will gradually disappear with the influence of the environment, plants, and weather, not to mention, the bones of the corpse have been moved, and the original appearance has been destroyed, which undoubtedly makes it more difficult to test.

According to everything presented by the white bones, Ran Yan judged that this was a woman between the ages of twenty-four and thirty, with obvious birth scars on her pelvic bones, and her bones were blue and black as a whole, which looked shocking. In such a situation, it should be suspected that the deceased died of poison before his death, as for what poison, Ran Yan's first thought was arsenic.

However, not all corpses that are poisoned to death will be blackened, and not all blackened corpses will be poisoned. It is also possible for bones to turn black when they are oxidized and degraded by organic matter. So it can only be said that it is suspicious.

The main ingredient of arsenic is arsenic, if the deceased did die of arsenic poison, then the bones must contain arsenic, but the Tang Dynasty did not have advanced instruments to determine that the bones of the deceased contained toxins?

This is indeed a problem, Ran Yan took the time to glance at Su Fu, he would rather show the naked corpse to be examined is really tricky, he trusts her too much, and thinks that she can't test the results, so no one in Datang can test it? Or is it that no one can test it, so I dare to open my mouth to agree, this time it's just to find someone to fill up?

Su Fu was also keenly aware of her gaze, raised his eyes to look, and in just a moment, he caught a flash of laughter in her eyes, which was a confident and inevitable smile. Su Fu looked away indifferently and continued to look at her for inspection.

After the observation, Ran Yan pinched the bones of the corpse little by little with his hand, and when his hand pinched a section of the spine, it was obviously a little strange. She beckoned a man with a torch to approach, lowered her head to take a closer look, and saw a crack in the second and third joints of the sternum.

There is a black substance left in the crack, which is likely to be the substance left by the oxidation of the soft tissue of the corpse, so this crack is definitely not something that this group of people did not do when they moved the corpse, but as for whether it was caused by the deceased before or after death, further judgment is needed.

This part is close to the heart and lungs, and the appearance of such a crack is worth scrutinizing.

Ran Yan continued to pinch downward, the pelvis, pubic bone, and leg bones were all normal, and when she reached the foot, she carefully observed the broken little toe of her left foot, and the bone at the incision was well healed, and it could be concluded that this toe was amputated before the deceased died, and after amputation, the person lived for at least half a year.

After the examination, Ran Yan approached a few days ago and picked up the pen, everyone was waiting for her to write down the autopsy results, but she wrote a sentence: Can some of the bones be damaged?

She took the paper and handed it to Su Fu.

Su Fu glanced at it, but held the paper and conveyed it in a loud voice, "I asked if I could damage some of the bones." ”

The leader whispered a few words to the man next to him, and the man relayed, "Yes, but tell us what the bones are for." ”

Ran Yan bowed down and wrote a few words on the paper, handed them to Su Fu, and he conveyed them, "The bones of the corpse are blackened as a whole, and it is suspected that it is the poison of arsenic, but it is not certain, it will take some methods to test before the exact results can be obtained." ”

The leader bowed slightly, signaling that he could begin.

Ran Yan didn't rush to start the action, but asked Su Fu to borrow a broadsword. A handful of hair was cut off from the corpse, and a rib near the stomach was amputated.

A group of men, when they looked at this blade sawing bones, they couldn't help but start to feel cold from the soles of their feet, especially when Su Fu was still her, and they felt even more weird in their hearts.

Ran Yan examined it seriously. She placed her ribs on top of the fire and roasted them until a trace of smoke came out, then quickly brought them close to the blade of the broadsword.

In 1790, a chemist said that if a substance contained arsenic, after the substance was heated, a cool metal plate was placed on top of the steam, and a white layer of arsenic oxide appeared on the metal plate.

In poor conditions, this is also an option. Ran Yan squinted his eyes and saw a layer of hoarfrost-like substance appearing on the wall of the broadsword, which was gently swept on the paper with a small brush, but it was inevitably blown away by the wind, and he immediately wrapped it up without waiting for others to watch.

Later, she used the same method to examine her hair.

Most people believe that if a person dies of arsenic poisoning, most of the toxins are in the body after death, but in fact, after arsenic poisoning, the part of the body with a super high toxin content is hair.

After storing a lot of arsenic oxide compounds, Ran Yan continued to study the crack on the amputated vertebrae, this crack was near the second and third segments of the chest, close to the heart and lungs, it was injured on the front side, the crack was quite neat, and there was no trace of healing, it was speculated that it was very likely to be caused after death.

Ran Yan suspected that after the murderer poisoned the deceased, he pierced the heart and lungs with a sword to confuse the judgment of the cause of death, so she carefully examined the ribs corresponding to these vertebrae, looked over and over again, and finally made a little abrasion on the upper side of the fourth rib on the left, maybe this abrasion can be seen very clearly on the newer white bone, but this white bone has been slightly weathered, and this little bit of scar, if it is not based on speculation, will not be noticed at all.

This made Ran Yan sure that the deceased was stabbed after death, and its purpose was that there were many possibilities, and it may be to vent his anger; It may be that she is not at ease, so she will make up for it again, so that she will definitely die; It may be to confuse the judgment of the fabrication; It is also possible that the sharp weapon inserted into the heart was coated with a large amount of arsenic......

And Ran Yan is more inclined to the latter two possibilities, if it is to vent his anger, he may only insert a knife? It will take at least two or three strokes to achieve the purpose of venting her anger, she just checked it carefully, and there were no other scars on the bones.

Ran Yan poured vinegar on the burning atractylodes and soaphorns in front of the coffin, and there was a trace of light smoke, she pulled Su Fu across from it, and motioned for others to cross it too.

Then Ran Yan sat down a few times in front of her and wrote down the results of the autopsy on the paper in detail, and she did not forget that Su Fu explained that she wanted to change the font, so she deliberately wrote with her left hand. Ran Yan had practiced left-handed handwriting before, and the font was extremely ugly, but the speed was not slow.

After writing five pages, Ran Yan paused, and wrote another one and handed it to Su Fu.

Su Fu glanced at it, still tucked the paper away, and said, "I took the residue of arsenic poison from the hair and ribs of the corpse, and there are two copies in total, if you are suspicious, you can take it to test it." ”

Su Fu handed the two wrapped in paper bags to the man in black led by him, and then handed over the autopsy results as well.

The man took advantage of the light of the torch and looked at it roughly, and the more he looked at it, the more surprised he became, for no other person had ever been able to make the autopsy record so detailed, and even more clearly written all kinds of speculations, and what surprised him even more was that she had drawn the angle and position of the knife into her body, and speculated that it was the same position that could cause such a piercing.

These are completely Ran Yan's professional obsessive-compulsive disorder, once she makes the autopsy report, it will inevitably be detailed to the point, and will never give anyone a chance to question it.

"Sub-period, where did you find this work?" The black-clothed man at the head suddenly made a voice, his voice was refreshing and slightly magnetic, and he was a young man.

But the young man was facing Su Fu.

Ran Yan guessed that "sub-period" may be the word of Su Fu, Su Fu, Su Zi period.

"It's not my generation, now that the matter has been done, please take your leave." Su Fu's voice was cold, resounding in the wilderness, making people shudder.

The man didn't care, only chuckled and said, "There will be a date later." ”

"Don't forget your promise," Su Fu didn't want to be polite to him, and reminded him coldly.

Seeing him turn around and leave, Ran Yan hurriedly picked up the toolbox and followed.

The wilderness was silent, except for the crackling of the fire, and the air was filled with the slightly sour smell of atractylodes, soaphorn and vinegar.

The man with a rough voice raised his eyes to see Su Fu walking away, and said in a low voice, "Lang Jun, do you want to follow him?" ”

"Tracking?" The young man sneered, as if he remembered, and said unhappily, "Are you sure that you won't be him?" You've known him for so long, and you've seen him show mercy."

The man was silent, Lang Jun had also sent someone to follow Su Fu before, but unfortunately not only did he not find out his details, but he was all killed, and even Lang Jun received a warning, because of this incident, Lang Jun was angry.

A hint of gloom flashed in the young man's only exposed eyes, and he said slowly to himself, "Ziji, if you can't be used by me, I will do my best to take off your head." ”

His words were not without warning, and the black-clothed people around him were silent.

After Su Fu and Ran Yan walked out of about two hundred zhang, they bypassed a mound, and Su Fu picked her up and ran away.

He did not send Ran Yan to Yingmei Nunnery, but directly took him to the bamboo courtyard where he lived in seclusion.

On a moonlit day, a cockscomb flower in the bamboo yard is gorgeous, swaying slightly in the mountain wind. Su Fu tore off the face towel, and walked towards the house as if no one was there, while untying the black coat on his body, his posture was chic and smooth, and he raised his hand and step, all of which were handsome.

Ran Yan was stunned, and said in his heart, isn't this about to be cashed out? Thinking so in his heart, he hurriedly left the cumbersome toolbox and followed.

Su Fu only took off his clothes, and after loosening his hair, he put on a coat after washing his hands, picked up two cups of tea and walked out, one cup was stuffed in Ran Yan's hand, and seeing that she was blocking the door, he said lightly, "Get out of the way." ”

Ran Yan took a sip of water, it was still hot, but she didn't care about the surprise, she stepped back to the side, and then said, "I don't accept a casual look, what I'm talking about is to look carefully in a well-lit place." ”

Su Fu stood in front of the porch drinking tea, his broad shoulders hanging on the robe draped behind him, the ink hair scattered behind him, only to the back, like a calm mountain, the moonlight was sprinkled on his side face like a knife, and the red and bright cockscomb flowers in front of him were beautiful.

Ran Yan stared at this beautiful picture and unconsciously held her breath.

Yes By].
