Chapter 258: Fleur
And when they moved their position, they could see everything in the tent. Ran Yan wore a mask, hung her head again, and basically couldn't see her expression clearly, but even if she was so far away, she could feel the skillful movements. The two military attachés in armor were very curious, what severed limbs and wreckage had they not seen on the battlefield? So I couldn't bear it, I wanted to see it, so I looked at each other and walked over together.
Ran Yan had just cut open her abdomen, and her first target was her stomach. If she was lucky, the stomach contents would tell her where the deceased had gone within two hours before she died.
The weather has been cold in recent days, and if there is content in the stomach, it will not rot. Mrs. Xin Chai, a thousand-year-old female corpse, also found 138 melon seeds in her stomach that were full of horns and still looked very fresh. And looking at the ** degree of this corpse, it is quite optimistic.
The stomach was completely stripped from the body and placed on a bamboo board prepared in advance.
As soon as the two military attachés came over, they saw this scene and immediately grew their mouths in surprise. Because it's easy to kill a person, but it's an incredible thing to want to strip an organ from it so completely without harming the rest of the body!
"You cut it." Ran Yan said to Liu Qingsong. She looked at her bulging stomach and thought she must be able to find some clue in it.
Liu Qingsong nodded, picked a well-proportioned knife, and gently slashed his stomach.
He was quick to start, but in an instant, a foul smell filled the air. Liu Qingsong was almost disgusted by the smoke through the mask.
Sang Chen's face was already pale, and he was almost unconscious, and even Xiao Song, who was extremely patient, couldn't help frowning. Only Ran Yan continued to peel off the organs of other parts of the body one by one, which could keep the corpse clean, just imagine, if the stomach filled with contents was cut directly in the abdominal cavity, it would flow everywhere, it would be easy to contaminate the other parts, and it would cause great trouble to the subsequent observation.
In the afterlife, these parts are usually stored separately in a container filled with formalin, which smells like a mixture of potion and bacon.
Liu Qingsong didn't dare to look at the stomach contents for a long time, he had a fiery heart for the forensic career, but after all, he had no experience in pouring sulfuric acid into mice for experiments since he was in college, although he didn't feel terrible, but normal people would feel disgusting.
"The lungs are congested and edematous, and the heart muscle is broken." Ran Yan carefully put his lungs on a clean bamboo board before he said, "Have you noticed that there is a special taste in the stomach contents?" ”
"Vomit ......" Sang Chen's vomiting voice became the only answer.
Liu Qingsong held his breath for a long time before he said, "Yes...... Particularly stinky...... The smell ......"
Ran Yan frowned, but immediately remembered that he was not a professional coroner, so he didn't say anything, and gently flicked the black thing in his stomach with a knife, and said firmly, "It's opium!" That is, Fleur. ”
Xiao Song then said, "In other words, this person died by smoking A Furong?" ”
One of the military attachés was stunned for a while, and when he heard this, he said, "I have also heard that smoking a hibiscus can cause death." ”
In the Tang Dynasty, just like taking Wushisan during the Wei and Jin dynasties, most of the Tang Dynasty were also sucking hibiscus. Unlike the large influx of opium in the Qing Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty did not produce this kind of thing, it was all imported from Fanbang, so the quantity was not large, and the price was extremely high, which was not something that ordinary people could afford.
Moreover, the Tang people also realized that smoking this kind of thing would cause irreparable damage to the human body, so all the families forbade their children to touch such things, and the imperial court also explicitly forbade this matter. As a result, there were many strongholds of addicts in Chang'an City.
"Then he went to the stronghold to smoke Hibiscus, and he didn't die, so the other addicts were afraid of causing trouble, so they abandoned his body?" Liu Qingsong also relieved himself at this time, used his full imagination, and began to guess.
As soon as Ran Yan wanted to add, he listened to Xiao Song's mellow voice and said, "It's possible, but it's not entirely right." Anyone who smoked Fleur would become thinner and thinner, but the corpse's limbs all looked healthy, suggesting that he may have only been exposed to the drug for a short time, probably less than a year. ”
"Not bad." Ran Yan continued, "His heart muscle is ruptured and his lungs are edema, which is obviously a symptom of acute poisoning, and it is very likely that it is caused by excessive swallowing of Hibiscus, and ordinary people will not swallow it, such a large amount of stomach must be worth a lot of money, and their addicts will not waste it so much." ”
There are two possibilities, one is that someone deliberately murdered, and there is some special psychology in killing Yulang with this kind of thing; The second is that their addicts are overexcited and delirious after taking drugs, maybe it is true that as Liu Qingsong said, Yulang himself accidentally swallowed A Furong and was abandoned after death.
"So, there's still no clue!" Liu Qingsong sighed.
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
Ran Yan and Xiao Song said in unison.
Liu Qingsong looked at the two of them, paused for a moment, and then asked with a smile, "What clue?" ”
Ran Yan lowered his head to sort out the corpse, Xiao Song walked to Sang Chen, who had fainted, took the record book from his hand, and wrote it himself. He uses a simple narrative method, without any technical terms, so that ordinary people can understand it.
"What a clue!" Liu Qingsong's burning gossip and strong curiosity are tormenting him inhumanely at the moment.
"Sang Suiyuan, do you know?" Liu Qingsong shook the semi-unconscious Sang Chen vigorously.
After packing up everything, Ran Yan turned his head and said, "If necessary, you can perform a second autopsy." ”
At present, the cause of death is determined to be an overdose of hibiscus, resulting in acute poisoning and death. The appearance, chest and abdomen have been examined in detail, but after all, there are still brains, limbs, necks and other places, not every autopsy must be dissected from the inside to the outside, which requires the forensic doctor to have his own clear ideas and goals, unless he encounters a clueless cause of death, otherwise the forensic doctor will not choose to see the corpse inch by inch of careful investigation.
"You go back to the city with Liu Qingsong and them to rest first, the carriage is ready, and there are escorts accompanying you." Xiao Song said. There are only six or seven days left, and if it is normal, he can sit comfortably in the official office, and wait for the report below, why do it so himself.
Ran Yan knew that he couldn't help him in the future, so he complied with his wishes and got into the carriage and went back to the city.
"Ran Yan, what is the clue?" Liu Qingsong and Ran Yan were not sitting in a carriage, but they did not give up on the window and shouted at the carriage opposite, "Ms. Ran, Forensic Doctor Ran, you have a good word!" ”
"I'm pretty happy." Ran Yan said lightly.
"You're bad at learning." Liu Qingsong howled in pain, "It's all Jiulang's guy with a bad stomach!" Brought such an upright, kind and beautiful Ran Seventeen to ruin! ”(.. )
