Chapter 17: Fatal Wounds
Zhou Qingxi asked, "How many hours have it been since you found out?" ”
The boatman thought for a moment, and then said, "About half an hour. ”
"Did you find any other physical evidence besides the corpse?"
"Back to my lord, Xiaomin hasn't seen anything else."
Zhou Qingxi waved his hand: "Okay, you stay aside for the time being, and I will call you when I need you later." ”
Zhou Qingxi's frowning brows almost condensed into a pimple, and he complained bitterly in his heart, it was another headless case, no need for an autopsy, just by the one hundred and ten catties of stone that was salvaged, you can know that this is a homicide case.
……
A high white cloth wall was enclosed around the corpse as usual, and Liu Ling also put on the white robe of the autopsy and walked towards the corpse.
I never thought that the urgency of the autopsy was too strong, and I didn't pay attention to a stone under my feet, and without any warning, I fell directly to the ground, and my whole face happened to be on the surface of Xu Yun's feet.
The originally noisy surroundings suddenly stopped at this moment, and everyone was holding their breath and looking at Liu Ling who fell to the ground.
Embarrassed!
Embarrassed!
Liu Ling, who was red-faced, looked up at Xu Yun, and happened to meet Xu Yun's eyes when he looked down.
Xu Yun asked with a cold sneer, "Are my feet fragrant?" ”
This guy dares to fall into the well!
Liu Ling's face sank, and he was worried that he couldn't find a chance to vent, his outstretched hands slowly clenched into fists, his teeth rattled, and the next moment he smashed on the foot of the self-proclaimed fragrant glutton, completely filling it with the smell of blood.
Zhou Fang saw that the signs were wrong, lest Liu Ling's fist pass, stealing chickens would not be successful, and it would be her own blood splashed on the spot.
Hurriedly grabbed Liu Ling's arm, pulled it up, and forcibly pulled it for an autopsy.
Liu Ling's nest fire was not released, of course he was not happy to just give up: "Master, I ......"
"You you, you, what are you, want revenge? Look at what you can endure, and don't weigh how many pounds and taels you have? Hurry up and get to work! Zhou Fang roared angrily.
"Oh!" Liu Ling looked at Zhou Fang's angry face, and understood that he was too distressed to be bullied, and he was not an unappreciative person, so he obediently obeyed and prepared for an autopsy.
……
Liu Ling carefully observed every detail of the corpse, while Zhou Fang filed the martyrdom in place of Shi Xu.
The corpse lying upright on the ground, wearing a purple brocade robe, was about twenty years old, and looked like a child of a rich family.
"According to the time when the body is swollen and soaked, it should not be less than three days, the lips are open, the eyes are wide, the hands are stretched out without fists, there is no water flowing out of the mouth, eyes, nose, and ears, and there is no mud and sand between the fingernails......"
"Well, it's a good ......," Zhou Fang recorded, his mouth should be harmonious.
Liu Ling pressed the corpse's stomach hard, and then turned the corpse around and pressed it back again: "The belly is not swollen, but the spine has been broken, and it is thought to be related to the stone that fell down."
Tsk, if it weren't for the buffer of the water and the sediment at the bottom of the water, such a big stone would be enough to crush the corpse into flesh and mud, what a vicious murderer! ”
Liu Ling looked at the corpse thoughtfully, and after a moment, he said, "Master, the various characteristics of the corpse have proved that he was killed by someone before he was thrown into the river, and then pressed it with a stone to prevent the corpse from floating......
However, the cause of the death is not poisoning, not death from disease, then there will be a fatal blow, but I have never been able to find ......"
According to Zhou Fang's decades of experience in autopsy, he never believes that the murderer can't leave a single clue: "If you look closely, there may be extremely hidden places that we don't know." ”
Xu Yun, who was a bystander, suddenly spoke: "We martial arts practitioners use different weapons, and the most difficult ones to prevent are those hidden weapons, which are different, and the places where each hidden weapon hits will be different.
If it was really a hidden weapon, since there were no scars left by the hidden weapon on the corpse, the volume of the hidden weapon must not be obvious, and the scars left would be difficult to detect.
For example, the most hidden and invisible place of the silver needle can only be in the hair, or in the nostrils, or in the ears. ”
Liu Ling looked through her hair a few times, but she couldn't even see the eye of a needle, her ear and nostrils were indeed places she never expected, so she quickly asked her to get a fire fold.
Feng Er hurriedly took out a spare fire fold from his waist and sent it over, but was snatched by Xu Yun: "I'll give her a light!" ”
Liu Ling first checked his nostrils, and the brightness of the fire fold was nothing but his nose hair.
Liu Ling could only turn to her ears, but gave her an unexpected surprise: "Master, you see, there are corresponding abrasions on the right ear and external ear canal, and the abrasions are black, which should have been left before death." ”
Zhou Fang nodded: "Well, it seems that there must be a problem here." ”
Xu Yun took the fire fold and tried to get as close to the right ear of the corpse as possible, Liu Ling stretched out the outer ear, and the external ear canal also became much larger, facing the firelight, and the eardrum inside was impressively revealed.
Liu Ling shouted: "Oh, Master, look, there seems to be something in here." ”
Liu Ling picked up a special tool and stretched it into his ear canal...... After a few moments, a tiny silver needle was pinched out of it.
Zhou Fang was overjoyed for a while, and stretched out his thumb to Xu Yun: "Xu Zhutou, it's really amazing, you are simply a god operator, I am ashamed of myself!" Consider oneself inferior to another! ”
Under Xu Yun's cold appearance, his heart is also cold, and he has never liked to listen to these praises, and he didn't even bother to respond to Zhou Fang.
……
After the autopsy was completed, the painter who had been found had already begun to copy the portrait of the deceased next to the corpse.
In this way, it is posted everywhere so that the relatives of the deceased can better identify him.
Liu Ling stood up straight, took off his white robe, and said, "Master, the murderer was able to accurately pierce the silver needle into the depths of the external ear canal, presumably because he was extremely familiar with the deceased, and took advantage of the deceased's lack of precautions to pierce the silver needle at the closest distance. ”
"yes, that makes sense." Zhou Fang walked to the soles of the corpse's feet, as if looking for gold, and slowly looked at the toes that were close to the corpse, "There is still a mark of injury on the largest toe, which seems to have been caused by a collision, and it should take four or five days." ”
Liu Ling scratched his scalp, a little embarrassed, after all, the autopsy had to be fine to every detail, a wound on the big toe, not big to say, not too small to say small, his mind was only thinking about looking for a fatal injury, and even such an obvious place was ignored.
Liu Ling smirked at Zhou Fang: "Master, I was careless again this time, and I will definitely correct it next time." ”
Zhou Fang pretended to be angry: "You, you, the problem of losing three or four is not just once or twice, if you can change it, the sun has to come out of the west." ”
Liu Ling saw Zhou Fang leaving, and Zhou Qingxi didn't know what to mutter, so he approached Xu Yun and stretched out his right hand: "Take it." ”
