"Zhou Zhongcai is not short of money." Old man Sun said slowly, "In the past year, I heard that he bought hundreds of acres of fertile land outside the city, and bought almost ten people. Where the money came from, I don't know. But I've seen that good field, five hundred yuan...... You can't buy it. ”

Chen Chaoyan and Xie Xuan glanced at each other.

Both of them thought of Mrs. Zhou's sworn words that Zhou Zhongcai did not go to the cabinet to borrow money and that it was impossible to commit suicide.

After Old Man Sun said again that he was all hearsay, he focused his attention on the dissected corpse.

Chen Chaoyan glanced at Xie Xuan again, and then also focused on the corpse. After putting the heart back into the chest cavity and scooping out the blood and water in the chest cavity, Chen Chaoyan carefully opened Zhou Zhongcai's stomach.

The pungent smell of alcohol mixed with the smell of food spoilage permeated in an instant.

Xie Xuan quickly took two steps back and quickly fanned the Jade Bone Mountain Fan to avoid its smell.

Chen Chaoyan calmly asked Old Man Sun to get the sieve.

There was no sieve in the mortuary, and when Old Man Sun went out to look for it, Chen Chaoyan instructed: "Remember to bring back a bucket of water." ”

Taking advantage of Old Man Sun's efforts to take the sieve and carry water, Chen Chaoyan put his stomach aside, took out Zhou Zhongcai's small intestine, and arranged it in a serpentine manner according to the length of about fifteen inches, and then took out scissors from the toolbox and cut them all.

"The stomach is full, and the intestines also have ......chyme," Chen Chaoyan said with a scissors to pick up a green segment at random, "This is a leek, according to the location of the intestines, Zhou Zhongcai died two and a half hours after eating the dish containing leeks." ”

Xie Xuan endured his stomach and glanced at the leeks she was holding with the tips of scissors in her bloody hands, "He died two and a half hours after eating leeks, according to the records in the case file, the earliest time he ate leeks was yesterday night." ”

Chen Chaoyan was surprised: "Have you also seen the case file?" ”

Xie Xuan looked at her twice, "Zhou Zhongcai left the county guard mansion at the beginning of the year, according to Mrs. Zhou's confession, he went home to play with the two children for almost two teas, and then ate the meal, and the time was just right." ”

"I'm sorry," Chen Chaoyan motioned to him to look at the stomach resting on the side, "There is still a lot of food in the stomach, and looking at the capacity of this stomach, he didn't just drink a pot of wine." ”

After Xie Xuan glanced at his stomach, he looked away, shook the fan vigorously a few times, and said slowly: "Someone lied, or rather, he saw someone else at night." ”

Chen Chaoyan nodded.

At this time, Old Man Sun came back with a sieve and water.

Chen Chaoyan didn't say anything more.

After Old Man Sun put the sieve and basin next to the corpse according to her request, Chen Chaoyan carefully picked up the stomach and poured the whole food in the stomach into the sieve.

The wine leaked down the sieve into the basin.

Judging from the amount gradually accumulated in the pot, there are five pots, to say the least.

"It seems that someone from the Zhou family is lying." Old man Sun said, "With Zhou Zhongcai's amount of alcohol, these drinks are enough to make him faint and unconscious." ”

Chen Chaoyan did not answer, but asked him to scoop water to rinse the remaining food in the sieve.

Leeks, radish, celery, lamb, goose...... As the water rinses, the food in the sieve quickly reveals its original appearance.

None have been digested by gastric juice.

It can be seen: "These foods were eaten at night when it was just the beginning of the ugly hour, and almost as soon as he had eaten it, he died." ”

Pouring the food in the sieve aside, and pouring in the chyme near the small intestine of the duodenum, Chen Chaoyan explained when the old man Sun scooped water to rinse: "It takes three hours for all the food in the stomach to be empty. After entering the intestines, it can advance three feet every half hour. The food I just threw away was still in my stomach, so I had just finished eating it. The food was still in the duodenum, a short distance from the small intestine, so it can be roughly assumed that he died two and a half hours after eating. ”

Seeing that she deliberately explained to herself, Old Man Sun hurriedly said: "Miss Chen, Gao Yi, I am ashamed ......"

"Uncle Sun will sew corpses," Chen Chaoyan interrupted him, "After the autopsy is completed in a while, how about Uncle Sun sewing corpses as a reward?" ”

Old man Sun said gratefully: "Miss Chen, don't worry, my old grandson can't do anything else, but he is still very good at sewing corpses." ”

"Then it's troublesome Uncle Sun." After Chen Chaoyan thanked him, he cleaned his hand with the water he scooped, then picked up the knife and began to dissect the purple-red mark at the root of Zhou Zhongcai's left ear.

Old man Sun did not rush to sew the corpse, but stood aside to watch her dissect.

"Soft tissue necrosis caused by trauma is very different from normal corpse spots, both in terms of the feel of the incision and the shape of the expression." Chen Chaoyan explained while dissecting, "The hand feeling requires the accumulation of experience, and the difference in morphology is manifested in the blood flow from the blood vessels in the corpse spots, and the soft tissue necrosis caused by trauma is diffuse hemorrhage, just like this." ”

Chen Chaoyan moved out of the way, so that Old Man Sun could look more carefully.

When Old Man Sun looked at it, Chen Chaoyan thought about it for a while, and then added: "Of course, there is also a prerequisite for this kind of diffuse bleeding of soft tissues is that it must be a prenatal injury. ”

"A prenatal injury is an injury sustained while a person is still alive."

"In addition, judging from the distribution of this mark and the shape after dissection, it should be caused by boxing."

Old man Sun drew with his fist.

The purple-red mark on the root of Zhou Zhongcai's left ear was more than three points larger than his hand.

Excluding marginal diffusion, it is only more than two points larger.

Chen Chaoyan examined the corpse again uneasily, and made sure that there was nothing else that needed to be autopsied and verified. She cleaned her hands again, and after telling Old Man Sun, 'The rest will trouble Uncle Sun', and then she planned to leave.

Xie Xuan paced over, but when he was about to leave, he lightly instructed Old Man Sun: "Miss Chen's conclusion from the autopsy is not allowed to tell anyone for the time being without the orders of this king!" ”

Old man Sun, who was about to stitch up, heard it and hurriedly responded.

Outside the mortuary.

The waiter and Wenmo each carried a copper basin, and when they saw the two of them coming out, they immediately stepped forward and asked them to clean their hands.

The copper basin is filled with anti-virus and defilement-removing medicine soup made from white peony and tsukimi.

When the two of them cleaned their hands, Bai Shao and Yuejian each carried a small half basin of vinegar and splashed it on the side of the burning charcoal basin. Then the two people who cleaned their hands stepped forward to remove the smell and filth.

After removing the smell and removing the filth, Banxia and Ziling came forward again and gave them each a glass of water and a fragrant pill.

After that, that's not all!

Chen Chaoyan was forcibly taken back to the Star Tower by Yuejian and soaked in anti-virus and defilement medicine soup for half an hour.

After that, after re-medicating and bandaging her knees, she also hung a sachet around her waist saying that she had begged from the Great Mercy and Grace Temple.

Chen Chaoyan was a little moved.

But she's not a person who is good at expressing feelings.

After thinking about it, I had to tell her the results of the autopsy.

But......

Before she could speak, Tsukimi covered her mouth and ran outside the courtyard and vomited.

Chen Chaoyan: ......

"It's all to blame Lingyou," Tsukimi complained after vomiting and rinsing his mouth with tea, "He came out of the mortuary and kept talking about the ...... after the body was dissected."

She ran out again and threw up.

Chen Chaoyan heard that she vomited yellow bile water, pushed the wheel to the table, poured a glass of warm water, and handed it to her outside the house.

Yuejian took the water, rinsed her mouth twice repeatedly, and then turned around and asked her, "Miss Chen, how are you ......?"

Seeing that she wanted to vomit again, Chen Chaoyan asked quietly: "You don't want to vomit when you see me, do you?" ”

Tsukimi originally wanted to vomit, but when she heard her say it, she was embarrassed to vomit. After patting her cheek and suppressing the vomit, she took a look at the mess that came out, turned around and pushed Chen Chaoyan to walk into the house, and said, "Go to the house, it stinks too much here." ”

Chen Chaoyan subconsciously wanted to say, no matter how stinky it is, it can stink more than the chyme in the corpse's stomach. When the words came to her mouth, she swallowed them back again.

Although it doesn't smell like the food in the stomach of the corpse, it still stinks.

Back in the house.

Yuejian was afraid that Chen Chaoyan would misunderstand again, so she was placed on the coffee table, and after adding tea for her, she called the maid who came to the county guard to serve, took a rag, and swept it around, but she didn't come to her.

Chen Chaoyan watched her finish wiping the table and the chairs, the chairs and windows, and the windows, and when she was about to continue mopping the floor, Bai Shao came.
