Bai Shao took care of Chen Qiyang in the pear orchard and did not go to the mortuary.

For the rendering of Lingyou, she did not intuitively understand Zhou Zhongcai's corpse, so she did not have objective empathy.

When she came to the Star Picking Tower, she saw Yuejian's busy figure, she only said, 'I'll take Miss Chen to Muyuan Hall', and then pushed Chen Chaoyan away.

Xie Xuan also soaked in medicinal soup and changed his clothes.

Leaning on a few seats, leaning on the chaise longue, when he heard the movement at the door, his eyes moved over for the first time and fell on Chen Chaoyan.

Every time I came over, Feng Shoudao was there. When he came over this time and saw that there was only one Xie Xuan in the room, Chen Chaoyan said quite rarely: "Lord Feng didn't come over to pester you about the results of the autopsy?" ”

Xie Xuan said lazily: "Here, I'll take him away." ”

Chen Chaoyan looked at him, "Do you suspect Lord Feng?" ”

Xie Xuan laughed and asked her rhetorically, "Why can't you be suspicious?" ”

"That's right. Song Yanzhong was on an errand in the county guard's mansion, and Qingxi County was a county under the jurisdiction of Luyang County, so Lord Feng was indeed very suspicious. Chen Chaoyan didn't argue with him much on this topic. For the maidservant who had entered the house came with food.

Bright shrimp roast, concentric raw preserved preserves, sheepskin filigree, eight immortal plates, five livestock plates, vinegar lotus, scrambled eggs with leeks, stir-fried cress, ginseng chicken soup, tho flower zi, roasted pear, jade dew group, sweet snow, crystal dragon and phoenix cake, concubine red, longevity porridge, crystal rice, fruit platter.

Chen Chaoyan counted it, and there were eighteen of them.

Although the portions were not much, the table was still full.

It was only when she picked up the chopsticks and was about to eat that she found that Xie Xuan was still sitting crookedly on the chaise longue, and there was no food in front of her.

Chen Chaoyan looked at him with a clear look and ate alone.

As is customary.

After eating sweets such as Gyokuro dumplings and sweet snow, she started to cook dishes such as bright shrimp.

When she ate, Xie Xuan looked at her.

Watching her hold chopsticks, holding shrimp for a while, sheepskin filigree for a while, and bear meat and venison on the five livestock plates for a while, all kinds of pictures of her disemboweling with a knife unconsciously poured out in her mind.

The stomach churned, and he was forcibly pressed down by Xie Xuan.

Looking at Chen Chaoyan, who was getting more and more fragrant the more he ate, Xie Xuan couldn't help but say, "You can eat it!" ”

Chen Chaoyan hooked the corners of his mouth slightly, glanced at him and said, "What kind of meat is not meat?" ”

As he spoke, he took a piece of concentric raw knot and ate it into his mouth.

Xie Xuan quickly put away the jade bone landscape fan and left Muyuan Hall quickly.

Chen Chaoyan looked at his back and couldn't help laughing.

Bai Shao also laughed, "After following Childe for so many years, it's the first time I've seen Childe escape." ”

Chen Chaoyan said casually: "The first time I saw the autopsy, it was quite normal. ”

Bai Shao retracted her gaze and looked at her: "Has Miss Chen dissected the corpse many times?" ”

Chen Chaoyan smiled and said, "Although I know that you are testing me, I still want to say, yes, I have been dissected many times." ”

Since she entered the provincial criminal police team, in the past five or six years, there have been no 100 sections, but 80.

Bai Shao did not deny that she was tempting, but continued to ask, "Isn't Miss Chen afraid?" ”

"At first, I was scared and couldn't eat." Chen Chaoyan looked at the food on the table, "Later, I saw and dissected a lot, and I slowly got used to it." ”

Bai Shao asked curiously, "Why did Miss Chen learn to do it?" ”

After thinking about it, Chen Chaoyan said: "Punish the evil and eliminate the traitor, and uphold justice." ”

This is why she chose forensic science in the first place.

Bai Shao nodded and didn't ask again.

Chen Chaoyan continued to eat.

After eating.

After resting for a while, Xie Xuan returned.

As he walked past her, he paused, "Have you eaten?" ”

"Eat it." Chen Chaoyan nodded with a smile, raised his head and asked him, "What about you, have you eaten?" ”

Xie Xuan is gone.

After walking to the chaise longue's couch, leaning on a few crooked seats, he skipped the topic of eating, and said straightforwardly: "Lingyou asked Mrs. Zhou, last night, they were indeed having a meal. ”

"As for the meal in the early morning, I'm still inquiring, and there is no result yet."

"What about the fertile fields outside the city?" Chen Chaoyan asked.

"There are 125 acres of fertile land outside the city, all of which are recorded in the name of Zhou Zhongcai's wife and brother." Xie Xuan drank the strong tea and said leisurely, "That piece of fertile land is all first-class official land, and according to the market price of Luyang County, it costs twenty yuan per mu. One hundred and twenty-five acres, which is converted into two thousand five hundred yuan. Zhou Zhongcai is just a non-existent Sicang history, and the monthly income adds up, and it is always money. This consistent money, excluding family expenses, is almost nothing left. Not to mention, when he bought this 125 acres of fertile land, he also bought seven subordinates who were in the prime of life. Such a subordinate will cost fifteen yuan alone in the capital. In Luyang County, it also costs nearly six to eight yuan. According to the calculation of six guan, seven subordinates also cost forty-two guan. ”

"With Zhou Zhongcai's ability, even if he doesn't eat or drink, he can't afford this."

Two thousand five hundred and forty-two dollars...... Chen Chaoyan silently calculated how many twenty pieces of money there were, and said sadly: "In other words, Zhou Zhongcai's money is likely to come from the wrong way. This source of injustice, in order to protect himself, so kill him? ”

"I remember that you only agreed in the morning that corpse spasms were important evidence to distinguish suicide from homicide, and that corpse spasms could not be disguised." Xie Xuan looked at her.

"What I'm saying is that, in general, corpse spasms are artificially impossible to disguise." Chen Chaoyan corrected, "But there are always times when something is not ordinary. ”

Xie Xuan hooked the corners of his mouth, "Zhou Zhongcai is that unusual time?" ”

Chen Chaoyan nodded, "Obviously." ”

Xie Xuan said with interest: "Let's talk about it." ”

"As I said before, the scene of Zhou Zhongcai's death was very clean, except for the fact that there was no blood splatter, I couldn't find any other suspicions." Chen Chaoyan sat up straight, his eyes gradually becoming serious, "If it weren't for the purple-red marks found at the root of Zhou Zhongcai's ear during the autopsy, even if there is this suspicion, it would not be possible to prove that Zhou Zhongcai died of homicide." ”

Xie Xuan's interest became even stronger, "When you were in the mortuary, you said that the purple-red marks at the root of Zhou Zhongcai's ears were boxing injuries. In other words, punching the root of the ear can make the corpse spasm, faking the effect of suicide? ”

Chen Chaoyan glanced at him, "Cadaver spasms mostly occur when there is a high degree of mental stress or brain injury, and also occur when the medulla oblongata is severely mechanically damaged, such as bulbar hemorrhage. The boxing injury at the base of Zhou Zhongcai's ear is one of the mechanical injuries. ”

"In addition, the site of the link between the brainstem and the medulla oblongata, which can also be referred to simply as the medulla oblongata, is in the cranial cavity deep at the base of the ear."

"There is a lack of subcutaneous tissue at the base of the ear, and the intramuscular and skin are extremely thin. Thus, the base of the ear is the weakest part of the lateral aspect of the head closest to the medulla oblongata. ”

"The medulla oblongata is the center of human life, and its main function is to regulate the activities of internal organs and maintain the heartbeat, breathing, and digestion necessary for life."

"In short, striking the base of the ear can easily cause concussion at the base of the skull, which can affect the medulla oblongata. If the force is strong enough, the concussion can cause bulbar hemorrhage. If the murderer stabbed the dagger into Zhou Zhongcai's heart at the moment of bulbar hemorrhage, he could fake the suicide scene of the corpse's spasm. ”

"The boxing injury at the root of Zhou Zhongcai's ear is a pre-mortem injury, which fully meets the conditions for forged suicide."

"It's just that Zhou Zhong was killed on the chair in front of the bookcase, and there is no trace of being restrained, to meet these two conditions at the same time, the murderer needs at least two people!"

After Chen Chaoyan said this slowly, he raised his eyes to look at Xie Xuan.

Xie Xuan also looked at her with abyss in his eyes.
