Lin Xi's face became solemn.

Before coming, Lin Xi heard Shen Chen ask the official that Yueqin was hanged on the beam of the house.

However, at this time, the Yueqin that Lin Xi saw, in addition to a circle of strangulation wounds around her neck, her face was still blue and swollen, she couldn't see her original appearance, and there were a lot of blood scabs, her lips were purple, her hair was messy, and her clothes were messy.

No, this is definitely not hanging a beam to death!

"Someone!"

Lin Xi called the official outside.

Soon a man came in and asked what he was told.

Lin Xi said: "Which one of the corpses for examination, invite him." Also, I'm going to look at the autopsy list. ”

The man hesitated and didn't move, not very reluctantly, it was too much of a toss.

Lin Xi's face turned cold: "Don't go yet!" Wait for me to personally ask your county lieutenant if you want it?! ”

When the official heard this, he was a little scared and hurried out.

After spitting out, Erbao came back, holding on to the wall, his legs were still a little trembling, and asked, "Mother, what's wrong?" ”

Lin Xi said in a deep voice: "I'll talk about it when that person comes back." ”

The official came back quickly, and only brought the autopsy sheet, saying that he had gone home on leave today, and now someone had gone to call, and he would be there later.

Lin Xi took the autopsy sheet first, patted it on the side of the bed, and said, "Send someone to the county lieutenant, bring Shen Chen, and say that I have something important to tell him." ”

The official was anxious and ordered to leave.

Erbao was very curious, and he was afraid to go to Lin Xi's side, and tried not to let himself go to see Yueqin, but only picked up the autopsy list to see.

"The fatal wound is a strangulation on the neck, and he has been dead for half an hour when he finds it......" He read them out one by one, puzzled: "Mother, what's wrong with what is written on this?" ”

Lin Xi looked at Erbao, thought about it, and finally said, "It's a big problem." Well, it doesn't hurt you to know more. Erbao, I'll teach you some post-mortem doorways now. ”

"First of all, you look at the neck of the deceased."

Lin Xi slightly crossed Yueqin's face, revealing the scars on her neck.

"The strangulation marks on the neck can only prove that the deceased was strangled with a rope, and it cannot be judged whether he was strangled before or after death. If it is strangled before death, the strangulation marks will be dark red at the beginning of death, with blood sprouts, and will turn black after a long time, if they are strangled after death, there will be no blood sprouts at the beginning, only white marks, and they will turn brown after a long time. ”

"And the strangulation marks on her neck are brown, indicating that this is not her fatal injury."

"That's the first mistake."

Lin Xi pointed to Yueqin's face again: "These wounds, if they were injured before death, the surface will become a yellow scab, and if there is bleeding, there can be blood scabs. If you are injured after death, it will be yellowish-brown. ”

Erbao understood, "It means that this sister was beaten to death before she was alive, and then the bad guy disguised herself as if she committed suicide by hanging a beam." ”

Lin Xi nodded, "The back is right, the front was beaten to death, it's not sure yet, you need to check other things to draw conclusions." ”

After speaking, Lin Xi took Erbao's hand and let him touch Yueqin's face.

"Furthermore, generally speaking, two hours after death, the body will be as warm as the surroundings, and there will be stiffness, which is called corpse stiffness."

She examined as she spoke.

"In the beginning, only the face, neck, jaw, etc. were stiff; After three hours, the zombie spreads to the whole body, and after twelve hours it is completely stiff. ”

At the same time, Shen Chen, Wu Jiu, the county lieutenant, and the head catcher also went outside.

Seeing that Lin Xi was teaching Erbao, the county lieutenant and the head catcher widened their eyes, and Wu Jiu couldn't hide his shock.

The head catcher was anxious: "The yamen is heavy, how can they be so childish......"

Shen Chen raised his hand slightly, and a look fixed on him.

Inside, Lin Xi continued: "After twelve hours, the stiffness will be relieved, and it will take 3~7 days to completely relieve, and the order of the cleavage relief is the same as the order in which the mortis occurs. ”

Erbao's brain turned fast and instantly understood.

"Mother, I touched my sister's face just now, and I found that it was indeed very stiff, but you can move when you raise her hand, which means that she has reached the process of relieving the corpse stiffness. In other words, this sister has been dead for at least a little more than a day! ”

He pointed to the autopsy sheet: "It's all wrong!" ”

"That's right."

Lin Xi raised Yueqin's two legs again, frowned slightly, and said: "There is another situation, within two hours after the death of a person, the zombie that has been formed is artificially destroyed, and the zombie mortis can still occur again in the near future, but the strength is weaker than the original corpse zombie. ”

"The deceased's legs are curled up, the degree of stiffness is weaker than that of the upper body, and there are slight abrasions on the back of the neck, elbows, and ankles, indicating that he has been forced into a ball and packed in a rough sack."

Erbao was able to see through: "Mother, you mean that she did not die in the inn, but after she died in other places, she was transported to the inn in a sack, and then disguised as a hanging beam." ”

"Erbao is so smart!"

Lin Xi smiled, "In addition, if you look at her lips, the color proves that there are signs of poisoning." ”

She opened Yueqin's mouth and frowned: "And I was gagged, my jaw was dislocated, and I was hard poured poison." ”

She groped further, checked her pulse again, and said in a deep voice: "There is damage to the lungs, and there are broken marks in the lower left chest ribs." ”

"There's dust on your clothes, no, it's flour, and I spent time in a storehouse like a grain store before I died."

"From the above, it can be inferred that the person had been dead for twelve to fifteen hours, and that he had been beaten before his death, and that the cause of death could have been beating, or poison, or both. In addition......"

Lin Xi looked under the deceased, "I was also violated before I died. ”

Erbao was dumbfounded: "Then she ...... It's too miserable to die! ”

Lin Xi propped his hand on the edge and closed his eyes, "Many of the dead were not very happy in their lives. And this Yueqin has also been abused and beaten. ”

"It should be to force her to ask for news."

Shen Chen's voice suddenly sounded.

Lin Xi immediately raised his head and turned around to see that Shen Chen was outside, and he didn't know how long he had been here.

The county lieutenant they are also there.

Erbao called Shen Chen happily, Shen Chen came in and touched his head to express his praise, and then looked at Lin Xi.

Lin Xi asked, "Did you hear what I said?" ”

Shen Chen nodded.

Lin Xi said: "That's okay, I don't have to say it again." But if you look at this autopsy list, there are seven or eight written on it, and only one of them is strangled! Everything else is on the surface! You shouldn't be out of sight! What's going on? Is that the ability of the county to work? ”

When the county lieutenant heard this, he hurriedly stepped forward: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding!" The county's work is still very powerful! ”

Afraid that Lin Xi and Shen Chen would complain to Yang Shizhong, and Wu Jiu was also there, the county lieutenant was very angry and yelled at the head: "What about being a man?!" ”

At that moment, the man who went to find the servant returned.

As soon as he came in, he saw that the county lieutenant was also there, and said even more panickedly: "Oh no! We found out that he had died at home! ”

"What?!"

Lin Xi and Shen Chen's faces changed slightly.
