Chapter 162: Coincidence or Premeditation
The carriage had been driving for about a cup of tea before it began to jolt.
The car sent by the Yamen to pick up Liu Pinrang was naturally not bad, but it was dangled in the carriage, and when it was parked, the three of them were still dizzy.
"Doctor Liu, come and take a look," County Lieutenant Song said urgently outside the car, and his voice suddenly aged several years.
Ran Yan eased up first and got out of the car. Then Liu Qingsong dragged the box down.
County Lieutenant Song couldn't help but widen his eyes when he saw Ran Yan, although she was wearing a hufu and a mask, she could still clearly see that it was a woman.
"She's ......" County Lieutenant Song saw that Ran Yan got off in the same carriage as Liu Qingsong, although he was angry that Liu Qingsong regarded the case as child's play, but he never had a seizure.
"This is my master." Liu Qingsong's fluttering words smashed on the top of everyone's heads, and they were suddenly a little dizzy.
But Liu Qingsong didn't give the others time to digest their breathing, and asked as he walked towards the corpse, "What's the situation?" ”
County Lieutenant Song quietly glanced at Ran Yan, and thought to himself, Liu Qingsong has always been out of tune, I'm afraid that it is just a joke to say that it is a master, so he didn't take it to heart, anyway, he will be frightened for a while, and he will have nothing to do, "The deceased is a person from the side branch of the Feng family in Luoyang, named Feng Zhao, who used to be a jailer in Jushui County Prison, and may have made a career in business a few years ago, so he broke away from the cheap business, recognized his ancestors and returned to his ancestors, made a city order in Luoyang, and occasionally came back to worship his ancestors." ”
The city order is an official position that governs market transactions, and the official position is not large, but there is a lot of oil and water, which is a fat difference.
"Ancestor worship? Ancestor worship in the middle of the night? Liu Qingsong snorted lazily, a little ironic.
Walking to the corpse, it was a mess, and everywhere he could see was viscera and blood, so frightened that Evening Green screamed in his throat, endured it for a while, and finally turned around and ran to the side and vomited, Ran Yan saw that she had never gone far, and she didn't care too much.
Liu Qingsong put down the box, put on gloves and began the autopsy.
This is a case of corpse mutilation, the leg bones and forearms have been sawn off to varying degrees, there are no less than ten wounds between the chest and abdomen, the abdominal organs and intestines flow out of the body, blood is splashed, sprinkled all over the edge of the woods, the surrounding withered low bushes are all bloodstained, the face of the deceased is stained with blood, his eyes are wide open, his mouth is open, and he has a look of extreme fear, which is particularly terrifying under the shadow of the tree.
Liu Qingsong did not rush to conduct an autopsy, but stabbed Ran Yan and asked her opinion, "What do you think?" ”
Everyone looked at Ran Yan, she had been silent, she had no sense of existence, and she ignored her existence, and now everyone saw that a lady had no fear in the face of such a terrible broken corpse, and they couldn't help but be secretly surprised, and they all cast concerned eyes.
"The blood on the trunk of the tree is splashing in different directions, and there are traces of rolling and dragging on the ground, which shows that the murderer was not killed with one blow, but ......" Ran Yan walked forward along the passive traces of the dead grass on the ground, and stopped about seven feet in front of him, "Probably here, the murderer's blow made the victim unable to fight back, but the deceased was still able to move at that time, so he kept crawling forward, and the murderer slowly tortured and killed him with a kind of anger." ”
Before he died, he was in extreme fright, and the cruel way of death was outlined in Ran Yan's few words, and everyone felt chills in their hearts.
"Hmm." Liu Qingsong and Ran Yan returned to the corpse together, turned around and said, "I'll do it, you can guide it." ”
Ran Yan nodded.
Liu Qingsong quickly put on his gloves, took a general look, and began to examine the suspected fatal wound on the corpse's head.
Seeing that his basic condition was almost tested, Ran Yan spoke, "You judge the order in which each wound is injured. ”
This makes it possible to infer the shape of the murder weapon more accurately.
"You're not kidding, are you?" Liu Qingsong raised his head and met her calm gaze.
Almost everyone felt that Ran Yan was commanding indiscriminately, and it was simply whimsical to check the order of each wound.
However, after Liu Qingsong and Ran Yan looked at each other for a moment, he silently lowered his head and looked at the wound a few times, and said, "Okay, you say, I'll test it." ”
"How is this possible" County Lieutenant Song was incredulous, but Liu Qingsong had already agreed, and he didn't disturb it. After all, although Liu Qingsong is unreliable, his autopsy skills are well-known.
Ran Yan automatically ignored Song County's questioning and continued, "If the muscles are cut off before death, the muscles will contract significantly, and the skin at the edge of the wound will roll inward, so the wound will be significantly opened. The wound was also opened shortly after death, but the wound was not too wide because the contraction was not obvious. However, injuries formed long after death, especially after the formation of mortis, the wound shrinks very little, and there is no contraction of the edges. You judge it accordingly. ”
Ran Yan's former teacher not only asked her to judge the order of each wound, but also asked her to judge the specific mental state of the deceased when he was injured by each injury based on the contraction of her muscles. This is a very perverted request, and it is not difficult to judge the order, but no matter what the mental state of the deceased is, as long as he is alive, the muscles will spontaneously contract when they are injured, and this very subtle difference requires the help of scientific instruments, and it also requires forensic doctors to combine conjectures based on various evidence and psychological knowledge.
Guessing the mental state of the deceased cannot be used as evidence to solve a case, but it is often of great help in solving the case.
"The deceased was a male, one inch tall, between thirty-five and forty years old, well developed, and had urine excretion in the lower half of his body. The temperature of the corpse was around 35 degrees, and it was about half an hour after death, and the corpse spots were distributed in flakes on the back. There were traces of blunt object attack on the back of the head, and there were 27 cuts all over the body, mainly in the upper limbs, chest and abdomen, and lower limbs, and the cause of death is currently judged to be excessive blood loss. Liu Qingsong paused for a moment, and saw that Ran Yan didn't mean to make a sound, so he continued, "The wound is neat, four inches long and one inch five wide, deep bones, the cross-section is inverted triangle, and the murder weapon is similar to a wood-cutting axe. ”
"The intestines of the deceased are all leaking out, why did they die of excessive blood loss?" County Lieutenant Song was puzzled.
Liu Qingsong glanced at Ran Yan, "This is thanks to my master, judging from the knowledge she said, the wound in the abdomen is neat, the contraction is not obvious, and the wound in the neck and chest is significantly open, and it hurts the major arteries, that is to say, before the abdominal injury, the deceased has reached a near-death state." ”
County Lieutenant Song wanted to ask some more questions, but a catcher hurriedly ran over and said, "County Lieutenant, no suspicious characters have been found." ”
From that roar to now, it has been more than half an hour at most, and the officials came very quickly, and the murderer actually came and went without a trace?
"Do you think the murderer will be the same person? Was it a coincidence or a premeditation? Liu Qingsong approached Ran Yan and asked.
Judging from the methods of killing, the methods of death of these people were completely different, the man in the inn was frozen to death with a certain sense of blame, the beggar died of poisoning, and this person was hacked to death.
"I heard that the person who found Liu Wen's body was an embroidery girl?" Ran Yan did not answer Liu Qingsong's question directly, but instead asked County Lieutenant Song.
Facing this corpse and asking about a murder case, Ran Yan obviously suspected that this was another serial murder case.
In the Tang Dynasty, one foot was equal to about 30.7 centimeters, one foot was equal to ten inches, and one inch was about one meter eight. There are differences in the size and length of each dynasty, so please pay attention.
