Chen Chaoyan wore a flesh-colored silk jacket shirt and a purple silk jacket with excellent fabrics, and a green silk jacket. With a calm face, under the service of Bai Shao, he wore masks, gloves and protective clothing. Later, in everyone's attention, she held Bai Shao's hand, carefully stepped on the coffin, and jumped straight into the coffin under Ruolan's response.

Shi Yun quickly covered her mouth to prevent herself from screaming. Then, he couldn't help but look towards Xie Xuan. After Chen Chaoyan jumped into the coffin, Xie Xuan followed him to the stone pit, squatting down with her to look at the white bones in the coffin. Shi Yun was bold and followed to look at Bai Gu.

When the Qu family was glorious, it was countless times more expensive than the Song family in Qingxi County. Therefore, Qu Qiyuan's coffin is not only wide enough for Chen Chaoyan to squat easily, but also move around at will.

Qu Qiyuan committed suicide by hanging, and Chen Chaoyan's autopsy focused mainly on his neck. But before examining her neck, she carefully examined all the bones. After making sure that the number is correct and there is no damage, the attention is focused on the neck.

And the moment her attention fell on her neck, she couldn't help but let out a 'huh'.

Qu Qiyuan's upper neck is covered with flesh!

Looking at its texture and color, it is obviously a local leather sample! Leather is sampled, and the damage before life will be completely preserved!

Chen Chaoyan quickly squatted over, and after repeatedly checking the several grooves on his neck, he said in a low voice: "It can be determined that he was killed." ”

Xie Xuan looked at those traces and asked, "What do you say?" ”

Qu An, Yan Haiqing, and Shi Feng quickly surrounded them.

Shi Yun couldn't help but be curious, suppressed her fear, and took a few steps forward.

Chen Chaoyan did not explain immediately, but checked the bones of his whole body again, and determined that Qu Qiyuan was hanged to death, so he squatted back on his neck, lifted his skull slightly, and exposed all the marks on his neck, and then pointed to the groove under his chin, and after taking a look at Qu An, he explained: "This trace is the trace of Qu Qiyuan's 'suicide'." ”

Qu An said urgently: "Miss Chen didn't say that my father ...... him."

"By 'suicide' marks, I mean the traces of the rope hanging from his neck when you find him." Chen Chaoyan interrupted him, "This trace is the trace that the murderer strangled him by hanging him on a rope in order to disguise himself as if he was hanging. However, after death, the blood stops circulating, and even if there is no compression, the blood will not spread to the surrounding tissues. That's why this one looks 'cleaner' than the others. ”

Look at these two traces again, these two traces were formed during the murderer's struggle when he strangled Qu Qiyuan. The reason is also very simple, people instinctively resist when their lives are in danger. In a strangulation like this, the killer must have attacked suddenly behind the victim, and the victim's instinctive reaction was to grab the rope. If the rope is loose, it will slide up and down, resulting in these two marks and these two finger marks. ”

After a pause, Chen Chaoyan said again: "Judging from this skeleton, Qu Qiyuan's height should be around five feet two, and his fat and thin should be the same as ......."

She raised her head, and after sweeping everyone around, her gaze fell on Qu An, "It should not be much different from you." ”

Qu An said with patience: "Miss Chen is right, my father's size is indeed not much different from mine. ”

Chen Chaoyan said 'um', "The murderer suddenly attacked, Qu Qiyuan instinctively resisted, although he still failed to escape in the end, it is enough to show that the murderer's size is not much different from him." Look at this last trace, that is, the trace that led to Qu Qiyuan's final death. This mark is obviously darker than the rest of the stripes, and it is slightly concave, and if it has just been strangled, it can also be seen that the corresponding thyroid cartilage and cricoid cartilage are fractured vertically and horizontally. ”

Shi Yun was confused when she heard this, looked around, and saw that Shi Feng, Yan Haiqing and the others were also confused, and couldn't help but ask boldly: "How can Miss Chen prove that these traces were strangled by the murderer, not Qu Qiyuan when he committed suicide, and he repeatedly hesitated in his heart to get them?" ”

Chen Chaoyan looked at her with a smile, "It's very simple, Miss Shi Er can try it herself." ”

Shi Yun said: "How to try?" ”

"Miss Shi Er has a handkerchief, right? Fold the handkerchief diagonally and try it in imitation of suicide. Chen Chaoyan said.

Shi Yun quickly took out a handkerchief, and according to what she said, after folding a triangle diagonally, she wrapped it around her neck and carried it upwards in imitation of suicide. As an imitator, she doesn't feel it deeply. As viewers, Xie Xuan, Shi Yun, Yan Haiqing and Qu An instantly understood. Chen Chaoyan said in a timely manner: "Hanging, that is, hanging, is the force of the deceased's own weight. And if you want to use your own weight to achieve the purpose of suicide, you also need a point of action. This point of action, to put it simply, is that the rope needs to have a fixed position that will not move back and forth. The rest of the neck is definitely not good, and the jaw is here, there is a chin block, which can just be stuck. ”

In addition, since the force is on the lower jaw, the strangulation marks on the lower jaw will naturally be heavier than on the back of the neck. The whole strangulation mark will be gradually reduced. This point is also better presented on this strangulation mark. ”

"And strangulation ......," Chen Chaoyan looked at Shi Yun, "Second Miss Shi might as well try again." ”

Everyone followed her words and looked at Shi Yun in unison.

Shi Yun had no choice but to fold the handkerchief again, and deliberately called out the handmaid who was about the same size as her, and wrapped the handkerchief around the handmaid's neck. This time, although he was still the one who experimented, he was also on the sidelines, and Shi Yun, like Xie Xuan, also understood the difference between strangulation and hanging himself in an instant.

Because strangulation requires the use of the murderer's force, the rope is crossed and contracted, to compress the victim's neck. In the case of a similar body size, it is almost impossible for the position of the strangled to be at the lower jaw. Coupled with the struggle and resistance that the victim will have, it is even more unlikely that it will be in the jaw.

When Shi Yun was about to put away the handkerchief, Chen Chaoyan stopped her, "In addition to the different positions, you should also pay attention to the fact that this kind of strangulation, due to the different forces, the ropes must be crossed to make the upper force." In this cross-force process, the force of the entire neck is basically in a uniform state, and the traces left by this are basically the same in color. ”

"This can also be verified from this trace."

Shi Yun put away the handkerchief, "According to Miss Chen's meaning, from the position and color left by the rope, you can easily tell if she committed suicide and was killed?" ”

Chen Chaoyan nodded appreciatively, "Excluding some special circumstances, it can basically be judged in this way." ”

"Miss Chen, can you tell me what a special case is?" Shi Yun asked. Yan Haiqing, who also wanted to ask, but was hindered by Xie Xuan's prestige, threw a grateful look.

"The special case is to stun the person first, but pretend to hang them to death, etc." After Chen Chaoyan glanced at Yan Haiqing, he said, "In this case, then the corpse will be dissected and examined at a deep level." ”

Autopsy ...... Shi Yun's face turned pale, and he didn't dare to ask any further.

Chen Chaoyan's narration and Shi Yun's performance, Qu Qiyuan's death from his murder is already a certainty. Chen Chaoyan took off his gloves, supported Ruolan's arm, who had specially descended to the coffin, and then took Bai Shao's hand, and after leaving the coffin, he waited for the Qu'an family, whose emotions had already fallen with tears on their faces, to stabilize a little, and then took the handwriting from the hand of the servant and the old handwriting of Qi Wu and Qu Qiyuan, unfolded it together, and pointed out the problematic places to Yan Haiqing.

Seeing such evidence, Qu An slapped himself a few times, then knelt down in front of the coffin and cried.

The murderer was in front of him, but he turned a blind eye. He also knelt down to the other party again and again with fresh melons and fresh fruits, begging the other party to help him. A joke, it's a joke!

Qu An hammered the ground for a while, and slapped his face again. His wife, son, and daughter, while persuading him, wept uncontrollably.

Chen Chaoyan sighed lightly and asked Shi Fengdao, "I don't know if Master Shi has ever seen Qi Wu?" How tall is Qi Wu? ”

"That ungrateful dog thief is not much different from me!" Before Shi Feng could speak, Qu An yelled.

"That's pretty much him." Chen Chaoyan said.

"Miss Chen's ability to conduct autopsies and solve cases is indeed worthy of her reputation." Shi Feng admired.

Yan Haiqing took the book and other evidence, and nodded slightly. Although the old case of the Qu family happened before he entered the county government, after he entered the county government to serve as a judicial assistant, he also participated in the review under Qu An's entanglement. The results of the re-examination were obvious and there were no findings. Although when he re-examined, he did not open the coffin for an autopsy, nor did he write a book. But he didn't think that with a book and an autopsy, he would have been able to find the evidence.

The simplest reason is that if it weren't for Chen Chaoyan's explanation and Shi Yun's demonstration, he would never have known that the few marks on Qu Qiyuan's neck would hide so many words.

The soldiers and the rest of the people who witnessed the whole process of her autopsy next to him, although they did not have as many psychological scenes as him, their expressions were full of admiration.

Among them, Shi Yun is especially so.

Looking at Chen Chaoyan's slightly smiling eyebrows and eyes, and her pampered and unfazed style, she suddenly felt that she was very beautiful. It is more beautiful than the delicate and beautiful waiter, Ruolan, Qingxue and others next to it, and it is much more beautiful. This feeling is like a few books that have been polished and carved into beautiful jade beads, although people can't take their eyes off when they see it, but her Zhong Lingyu is beautiful, natural and transparent, but she is naturally raised, and people are ashamed of themselves after seeing it.

There are only about ...... such characters Shi Yun looked at Xie Xuan quietly, looking at him as if he was wandering away, but his eyes always followed Chen Chaoyan, and he vaguely understood a little in his heart.

The entire open coffin autopsy was easy to say, but it took nearly two hours.

It's already halfway through noon.

Back in the courtyard, go through the process of going to obscurity, clean it again, and after eating, it is already the end of the time. Although the time is not early, the sun is still very big, and Chen Chaoyan is not in a hurry. Seeing Xie Xuan taking a break on the chaise longue, she also went back to the east wing and went to bed with her clothes crooked to rest.

When I woke up, it was just a moment away from the end of the hour.

Xie Xuan had already woken up, Chen Chaoyan went over, and after half a cup of tea with him, he took Qu Wensheng's dagger that stabbed the widow of Zhou to death, and sat in a carriage with him, and under the leadership of Qu An, who was in a state of some recovery, he went towards the grave of the widow of Zhou.
