Chapter 112: Powder in the stomach

The latter corpse is very different from the first two.

First, the first two bodies died on the slope, with multiple serious injuries on their bodies and heads, and the cause of death is still uncertain. The latter body died in a ruined temple, with bruises on the back, possibly due to an unknown substance in the stomach or from excessive blood loss.

Second, the hosta flowers have always been placed in the broken temple, the first two corpses, the hosta bouquet was packed in the monk's cloth bag, and two bundles of hair were placed underneath, while the latter corpse was holding the hosta flower in its arms, and the hair was also carried in the arms.

Thirdly, the blood of the first two corpses was still there, while the last corpse had been drained of blood, and was neatly dressed, and although he had taken incense ash, there was no residue on his mouth, tongue and teeth, apparently after careful cleaning.

Ran Yan has encountered many serial murders in the past, homicidal maniacs, such as some abusers who like women with certain fixed characteristics, or pose corpses in a certain shape, hurt a specific part, and so on. This time, I can't figure it out, in ordinary serial murder cases, the murderer has a certain obsessive idea, and he will definitely stick to this obsession to the end, and he will not change it easily.

If the murderer has been emotionally traumatized, it is very likely that he will kill some people who are similar in characteristics to the man who hurt him, if according to this inference, then the murderer has no reason to give them different "treatment"? Could it be that the third man is particularly good-looking? Or is it the most similar to his lover?

Furthermore, where did the blood that was drawn go?

A normal adult weighing ten kilograms, the blood in his body is about 4.8 kilograms, and a barrel of average size can hold two or three buckets, and at least three-quarters of the blood on the deceased's body is drawn, which is about... Half a kilogram of blood, how useful is such a large amount of blood?

Ran Yan told the three of them about the situation, and then entered the meditation room again and began to dissect the other two corpses.

These two corpses are already high**, the giant view gradually eased, the head and neck began to decompose, the subcutaneous and muscle tissue liquefied, the one a month ago, the viscera has begun to collapse**, and the white bones have been exposed in some places.

Ran Yan had seen a lot of this kind of situation, but she still couldn't help but sigh, "A month ago, that young man was still handsome."

Ran Yan didn't see the wonderful expression of the person behind him, squatted down, and began to move the knife. This time it seemed to be more leisurely, and while cutting open the chest and abdomen neatly, he asked, "Yu Jusi, did you have a third corpse before, how is it different from these two?" Is it more handsome? ”

Yu Bohao was stunned, recalled it carefully, nodded affirmatively, and said, "Jun, it's much better than the first two." ”

Ran Yan just asked casually half-jokingly, but she didn't expect it to be the case, "No, have the identities of these deceased been found out?" ”

Yu Bohao replied, "After the notice was posted, there were several families who identified it, and the first body was claimed, and the assassin also sent someone to check the missing people in the city, but there are not a thousand but hundreds of missing people in Suzhou City every year, such as homeless people, marriage runaways, elopements, etc., and the identities of the other two corpses are still being investigated one by one." ”

"Running away?" Ran Yan's hand moved, "I heard the maid say a month ago that the most lively discussion in the city recently is a few elopements. ”

Liu Pinrang groaned for a while and replied, "No, there is one who still has a marriage contract with the second daughter of the Su family, the king of medicine, because of this matter, the Su family has also privately approached this official. You say it's possible that these bodies were all eloped people? ”

Ran Yan noticed that he said "all", so he guessed that the person who was recognized had already been determined to have eloped with someone, so he didn't ask any more questions, took out the internal organs one by one, and placed them on top of the plain cloth.

Yu Bohao admired that these internal organs, especially the intestines and stomach, had been rotten, and she could still peel them off so completely

In addition to the normal decay, it is difficult for each organ to be abnormal.

"I'm afraid I'm going to dissect the brain......" Ran Yan muttered to himself, put down the heart of his hand, and took out a giant nail the thickness of a hammer and thumb, as well as a sharp blade, from the toolbox.

Xiao Song stared at Ran Yan, his eyes were shining like stars, and his lips hidden behind the mask were unconsciously curled, she brought him too much freshness, and that serious appearance also attracted his attention tightly, he had never seen this kind of woman, serious and serious, as if he was fearless, and the gesture of ease in the face of the corpse was really heartbreaking.

Ran Yan focused all her attention on the deceased's brain, not noticing Xiao Song's gaze, when she picked up the blade and was about to shave off the corpse's hair, she suddenly paused again, and after putting the blade away, she moved to the abdomen of the corpse, squatting there to observe carefully.

Ran Yan looked carefully over and over again, as if he wanted to rot the chest and abdomen of the corpse.

"Hehe" Ran Yan looked at it over and over for a long time, and suddenly laughed.

Yu Bohao and Liu Pinrang only felt that their scalps were numb, thinking about a lady laughing at the dissected rotting corpse, what a strange scene it was, which made the two mistakenly think that Ran Yan was ghosted.

Bleeding and bruising could be faintly identified on the internal organs of Ran Yan's corpse, so he temporarily gave up the brain dissection of this corpse and directly began to dissect the most rotten one.

For this extremely ** corpse, without the help of scientific instruments, if the corpse has no obvious symptoms of cause of death, Ran Yan really can't guarantee that it can.

After dissecting the chest and abdomen, Ran Yan couldn't help laughing again, it seems that the deceased also wants to avenge the deceased This corpse is seriously decomposed on the outside, and the internal organs have begun to shrink and collapse, but basically everything still exists, and there should be. It's not as good as a fresh corpse, but it's better than nothing

Ran Yan immediately began to examine carefully, the stomach and intestines had rotted and liquefied, she peeled off the internal organs one by one, and carefully checked them with bright lights, no matter how many lights were lit at night, it was no better than daylight, not to mention that she had to observe this kind of high-altitude corpse, fortunately, she had not encountered this situation, but it was not impossible to see it.

"Because the degree of corpses is too large, I can only judge that the cause of their death may be poison based on some conditions." Now there are no good laboratory conditions, and some once the best time for dissection has passed, it can't be seen just by looking at it, Ran Yan can't help but start complaining about Liu Pinrang, if he had dissected earlier, he would definitely be able to judge what kind of poison, and now he can only rely on guessing, "Each internal organ of the corpse has different degrees of bleeding, and it can basically be judged that it is poison, but what kind of poison it is is still uncertain." ”

"Can you list some poisons, don't skip words. Xiao Song asked.

Ran Yan sorted out the corpse and replied casually, "Aconitum, Masan, Hook Kiss, Poppy, Nux Nux, Tripterygium wilfordii, snake venom, cantharid, etc." ”

After finishing the tidying, Ran Yan thought for a while and continued, "I have handled the first corpse, and there are no obvious symptoms such as bruised nails, black lips, and cyanosis, so we can rule out Ma San, Nux Nux, snake venom, and poppy. It takes two to three days for Tripterygium wilfordii to become poisonous, and Aconitum sinensis generally takes two to three hours after ingestion, and hook snout will be faster. These poisons do not cause noticeable symptoms on the surface of the corpse. Personally, I'm more inclined to be suspicious of hook kisses. ”

Aconitum poison death, generally can only detect the cause of death similar to suffocation, sometimes if you are lucky, you can be in the stomach residue, gastric mucosa and serosa may also have bleeding spots, in addition, if you do not borrow modern testing technology, there is no evidence at all.

Now the two corpses have decomposed to such an extent, and the internal organs can also faintly bruise and bleed, obviously not aconitum heads.

If the murderer wants to use Tripterygium wilfordii to kill someone, at least two days before the victim's death, although it is not impossible, it is not as good as a quick and convenient hook kiss.

"This is just my example, and it could be some other poison. The entrails have rotted to such an extent that it is difficult to discern them in more detail. Ran Yan said.

After cleaning up, several people walked out of the meditation room worriedly.

Now, only one deceased has been identified, and the others are still unknown, and this alone has cut off most of the clues, and the officials take the relics of the deceased to ask door to door every day, a huge Suzhou city, not to mention the countryside, even the city's fang market will take three or five months to find out.

Lanterns were lit on the porch, and several people sat down in the courtyard, Xiao Song asked, "Is this body that was claimed a person?" ”

Yu Bohao replied, "It is the son of a merchant in Bifengfang, I heard that he fell in love with a pretty widow, and the family did not agree to this marriage, so he eloped with him, and the family only had such a son-in-law, so as soon as he heard about the appearance of the deceased, he hurried to identify it, and through the money bag and clothes on his body, he recognized that the deceased was their family's son-in-law, surnamed Chen Mingyuan, and the word Meng Xian." ”

"What about the widow?" Xiao Song immediately asked.

"I still don't know where I am." Yu Bohao thought about it for a while, felt that the matter was very important, and still expressed his suspicions, "Could it be that this widow is different?" Seduce young Langjun to the suburbs**, and then kill them? ”

Liu Pinrang groaned for a while and said, "The fiancΓ© of the second lady of the Su family is also in Bifengfang, which is a scholarly family, and this kind of family has a heavy face, and may not admit to elopement even if they are suspicious, and the official will personally bring the relics of the deceased to make him identify it tonight." ”

Although the Su family of the medicine king has a big business, they have always been very low-key, and if this incident did not really insult their family's reputation, they would not have sued Liu Pinrang.

Liu Pinrang has always been sleek and accustomed to doing things, sometimes he is a little too sophisticated, Su and Chen are both people with some faces, since the notices have been posted, people have not identified them, and Liu Pinrang is not good at taking relics to other people's homes to add bad luck. Besides, he didn't take the initiative to ask, and it wasn't all out of sophistication, but just waiting for the wind of the court to blow.

Xiao Song is that gust of wind, now that the time is ripe, if he doesn't move, he will be beaten, and he will no longer scruple about it.

When Xiao Song heard Liu Pinrang say this, his eyes flashed slightly, and then a relaxed look appeared between his eyebrows, and he turned to Ran Yan and asked, "The black powder in the recent corpse can't be distinguished, isn't it a skip word."

Ran Yan didn't see that Liu Pinrang and Xiao Song, the two old fritters of officialdom, had unconsciously reached some kind of tacit understanding, and only seriously thought about Xiao Song's question, and said, "It's like a remnant after burning, is it possible that it is incense ash?" ”

The other three were stunned, these had already produced some changes in their stomachs, and the amount of information they had just received was a bit large, and they didn't have time to think about it carefully for a while, after Ran Yan reminded them, it was really like incense ash.

Yes By].
