Chapter 37: The Liuwei Village Serial Case (5)
It was really inconvenient to examine corpses in ancient times when there were no props.
After sighing, Yan Nuo tore off the skirt of his clothes in two, wrapped them around his hands, and officially began to examine the corpse. First, I flipped the arm of the corpse, and the time of the deceased's death could be judged by the degree of hardening of the corpse.
According to my own experience, in general, a corpse will harden slightly within half an hour to two hours after death, and completely harden within nine to twelve hours.
From the time the fire started to the present, it has been about nine hours. The corpse had already begun to harden, so it was a little stiff when turning the deceased's arm.
"Considering the temperature of the fire, these two bodies were probably dead for about four hours." Yan Nuo nodded, as if talking to himself.
Behind him, Master Le, who had a goatee, took a pen and recorded it in detail on thick official paper. In fact, it is to record the symptoms of the deceased in the case that Yan Nuo said.
Then, Yan Nuo opened the deceased's mouth to inspect it, and after a careful observation, he nodded confidently. turned around and said to Liu Zhixian: "The deceased was killed first, and then the body was burned and destroyed." ”
Liu Zhixian jumped up from his chair in shock: "What? You say it's a vendetta? "You know, accidental death and vendetta are two different concepts, the former can be perfunctory, and the latter can affect your future if you don't handle it well.
"Girl, do you have any evidence for this? This corpse is already burned to the black, how did you know? Realizing that he was talking too loudly, Liu Zhixian hurriedly twisted his fat body, moved to Yan Nuo and whispered.
Glancing at Liu Zhixian, who had a face of 'I don't understand anything, I don't know anything', Yan Nuo said slowly: "If you are burned alive, you will definitely have a period of breathing and shout for help, so there will be ashes left in your nose and mouth." And if you die early in the morning, the mouth is closed, and the ashes naturally do not enter the mouth, so the mouth is clean. The two bodies were apparently killed and then set on fire. ”
After listening to Yan Nuo's explanation, everyone suddenly realized and nodded in praise. Even the musician, who is usually very old-fashioned, came to the front, and after a careful observation, he nodded vigorously.
Mu Xi's eyes, which didn't have any fluctuations, actually shrank slightly, and there was something strange in his gaze when he looked at Yan Nuo, which he might not even notice. Although it is very shallow, it is a great improvement from the previous hatred.
Nan Qingyu had a lot of rules, squatting on the ground looking for ants, and smirked happily.
After a certain case, several family members of the deceased cried:
"My lord, my father did a good deed every day, but he was killed by thieves, please find out the murderer, so as to comfort the souls of my parents in heaven! Your Excellency is going to be our master. It's also to blame that we didn't return last night, but we had to go when our cousin got married...... I didn't expect to come back early in the morning, it's like this......"
Liu Zhixian glanced at Yan Nuo, and scolded secretly in his heart: I am really talkative, what kind of corpse should she examine, now, if you don't find out the truth, you can't close the case in a daze. This person's life is at stake, and it is impossible not to solve the case.
After thinking about it, he bowed respectfully and said, "Miss Yan, please raise your hand for help in this case, and the lower officials will definitely do their best to help solve this case." ”
Yan Nuo nodded and said, "Well, remember what you said yourself. Has this Luo Shanren usually gone far away? Can there be enemies? ”
Liu Zhixian's beard curled, and he yelled at Zheng Kang behind him: "Didn't you hear? Miss Yan asked you? What are you doing there, do you want to be boarded? ”
I was worried about being angry, but today I was full of Yan Nuo's anger, and I couldn't offend. The Guan Wen handed down above also clearly states that the person who came is the case of overturning Wang Tie, and now there are more cases, there is no way, I can only let this girl stand on her head and pull Shi at will!
Zheng Kang was taken aback by Liu Zhixian's loud voice, and hurriedly ran trembling, "Go back to your lord, go back to the girl, this Luo Shanren has never been far away, and I haven't heard of any enemies." In this calamity, God has no eyes. ”
This Zheng Kang can also be regarded as having eyesight, from the initial contempt to the current respect.
"That's right, our parents are honest people, and we haven't met any inconsistent people, please Miss Yan must help us find out the truth." Luo Shanren's children also echoed.
Yan Nuo was stunned, and his mind began to ponder, since the deceased was from the village where he had lived for a long time, and he had never traveled far away, let alone offended outsiders, the murderer was very likely to be from this village.
The ancients have always believed in ghosts and evil spirits, not to mention that in this relatively remote mountain village, perhaps, it can be used to draw out the real murderer-
Clearing his throat, Yan Nuo looked around, "The villagers of Liuwei Village are already here?" ”
"Back girl, yes. The whole village is already here. ”
Zheng Kang hurriedly replied, afraid that he would answer one step later, and he would be scolded by Liu Zhixian again.
"Luo Shanren and his wife died tragically, and their grievances are hard to eliminate, and it is inevitable that they will come back to make trouble in the future, causing peace in the village." Yan Nuo said with a serious face, and shook his head at the right time.
The people in the village listened without doubt. "So, girl, what are we going to do? Do you want to invite a Taoist priest to do a ritual again? ”
The person who spoke was a girl from the village, who was quite handsome, thin and tall, and said with a worried face.
"No, I have a way to keep it safe." After Yan Nuo finished answering the girl, he turned his head and arranged it for the village chief Zheng Kang:
"You go and prepare some incense and candle offerings, and we will set up the incense table here, and then let the villagers pray one by one. Luo Shanren's soul can be transcended and transferred to reincarnation. ”
