049 Sacrifice Case (3) (4000 words)
Yan Yanzuo raised his head: "It's hard to determine the time of death when the limbs are blistered and swollen by water, and I can't even tell whether it's a man or a woman." β
It's tricky.
Pei Jingning paced to the two of them, and also looked down at the limbs on the ground, and turned his eyes to Yeats.
Yeats turned his head.
Yang Fuquan hurriedly opened the blanket on his shoulders, took out a hand-shaped white cloth from one end, Yeats put on gloves, and he took out a magnifying glass and tweezers, "Give it to ......" The young man's face was full of excitement, waiting for Yeats to break through the fog and reveal the mystery.
Not only Yan was attracted by Yeats's work, but even Pei Jingning was full of interest and inquiry.
Yeats enters the state and automatically blocks out the surrounding noise.
Forensic medicine and criminal investigation are two different fields, because they both serve the case, and the two need to complement each other, and it is not easy to solve a case without one.
Although Yeats is not a forensic doctor, he still knows a lot about how to judge the time of death and other professional knowledge in forensic science.
For example, the foaming and swollen limbs in front of the eyes themselves give an approximate time, and it is the hottest time of summer.
Yeats examines the nails of the limbs: "There is a gradual process of change in the water of the corpse or dead object, from the cloudy eyelids, the whitening of the palms, the swelling and wrinkling of the skin, etc., all the way to the view of the corrupt giant, which is the swelling of the giants at this moment, which takes 2-3 days in summer, 4-5 days in spring and autumn, and longer in winter, about 7-10 days." β
Yan Yanzuo didn't expect Yeats to say the autopsy experience without reservation, and while he was surprised, he quickly remembered it.
After many years, Yan Yanzuo still has some experience in drowning the corpse of the blister, the bubble is white and the wrinkle can be broken, it is this foam swelling, he has taken dead dogs and dead cats to do experiments, the time is long and short, and it is always inaccurate, so Yeats asked him just now, seeing Pei Shaoqing present, he was not sure and did not dare to say.
"It had to do with the seasons." He ignored the issue.
Yeats raised his eyes, "It is also related to the depth of the water temperature of the river." β
Teng Chong immediately added on the side: "Little Brother Ye, this rainwater channel is half a person deep, with a stone slab cover, and the water temperature is not high in relatively hot weather. β
Yeats took a break and stretched out his thumb to compare.
The brothers cooperated tacitly, Teng Chong was just about to get set, but when he saw Pei Shaoqing, his head shrank and he didn't dare to do anything.
Yeats pointed to the nails on his limbs and said, "Although the other fingernails are gone, judging from the shape of this thumb, it should be a woman, what do you think, Lord Yan?" β
Yan Yanzuo took a closer look and nodded in agreement.
Yeats sent the magnifying glass to Yan Chengzuo again, "Lord Yan, you see, the texture of the nails is small, light and smooth, and they look like the limbs of a young woman. β
Under a magnifying glass, the whitened nails have a healthy sheen, which is indeed only found in young people.
In the past, Yan Yanzuo looked down on this mouth-handling young man, and always felt that he walked through the back door of Master Pei with his beauty, and ignored him, but today, seeing the strange but practical and easy-to-use guy in his hand, I have to be convinced, the guy who is as thin as a chicken is indeed a little capable.
The two of them got up.
Yeats arched his hand, "My lord, from the time of foaming and the state of the nails, it was a woman who was dismembered, and the time of death was probably within these three days." β
Lord Lu was in trouble: "Teng Zhutou and I have been investigating since last night, and no one has reported missing. β
"What about the relatives?" Yeats reminded: "Especially this kind of going to distant relatives." β
Teng Zhutou said suddenly: "Ye Xiao......" felt that Youdao's eyes were locked on him, and he immediately changed his words, "Ye Pingshi suspected that the murderer deceived the victim to go to distant relatives, and was actually killed by him?" β
"I don't rule it out."
When the people in the front row heard that the relatives of their distant relatives might have been killed, they all turned around in fright, "God...... I'll have to go to a relative's house and see ......."
Someone shouted: "Boss Cheng, the adults just said, this is a woman's limbs, and your relatives are sons in their thirties, you are in a hurry." β
The crowd laughed.
Boss Cheng's face flushed, "That...... If there is a young lady who has relatives, why don't you hurry up and inquire if there is an accident......"
That's right.
Teng Chong will come to something, and hurriedly shouted to everyone while he was working, "Whoever has a young lady who has gone out these days, all go here to register, and if there is a condition, ask yourself first, if there is no condition, Dali Temple can help inquire, hurry up to me to register, and you will not wait for it!" β
Pei Jingning said to Lu Sicheng, "Hurry up and find other parts of the deceased's body." β
Lu Sicheng looked bitter, "It's my lord." β
If the capital is large, the imperial city, the official residence, the streets and alleys, it is not easy to find out the other parts of the deceased.
Yeats asked Pei Shaoqing: "My lord, have you found the torso in the previous ten dismemberment cases?" β
"Nope." Lord Lu's face became even more bitter.
Pei Shaoqing only landed in Dali Temple this year, these unsolved cases have nothing to do with him, and they don't affect his political achievements at all, but they have a lot to do with Lu Sicheng, and they are directly linked to his political achievements and promotions, which is simply bitter to death.
"Do you find it in the storm drains every time?"
Lu Sicheng said: "In the rainwater channel, this is the second time, and the others are either in the moat, or the inland river beach, or by the arch bridge pier in the city. β
"Where are they?" Yeats took out a charcoal pen and paper from Yang Fuquan's coat.
Lu Sicheng hurriedly told Yeats about every place where the limbs were found, and soon she drew a simple map.
There was nothing new to see, and the crowd of onlookers gradually dispersed.
Teng Chong took Zhang Jin and the others to register quickly, the weather was hot, "Zhang Zhuo quickly buy some water to drink." β
Zhang Jin gave the registered paper to Teng Zhutou, and looked around, "Why don't you have a small stall selling clear spring water?" β
When the unfinished woman heard that the official asked for water, she hurriedly pointed to the thirty or forty-year-old woman beside her, "Their family sells everything, and there is also spring water from Qingliang Mountain outside the city." β
"Sister-in-law, where is your shop?" Zhang Jin looked at the white and rich woman and asked politely.
The woman covered her mouth, "What sister-in-law, people are thirty or forty, you should be called aunt." β
Sister-in-law, the original meaning refers to the wife of the elder brother, generally refers to a married woman who is not very old, and calls the older woman a concubine.
"That girl is really young."
That woman doesn't want to be praised for being young?
The woman who was called the aunt couldn't stop laughing, "Just the words of the official and the master, today this altar of spring water is invited." "The spirit of the person is long, and the spirit is refreshing, such a person who does not like to deal with.
Zhang Jinhuan happily bought spring water.
Teng Chong gathered behind Yeats and looked at the map in Yeats's hand.
Yeats was working with Pei and Lu to estimate how the murderer might be in that alley.
"My lord, my subordinates think that the alley is more likely, and this alley is ...... It's easy to get around without being obtrusive. β
"Lord Lu, take someone to check such an alley, and give Ye the results of the review."
"Yes, sir."
The on-site case handling in the morning came to an end.
Seeing that noon was coming, Master Pei walked with his hands in his hands and went home.
Teng Chong leaned over to Yeats's side, "Let's go, go to the front and drink some spring water to quench your thirst." β
"Is there one?" Yeats was really thirsty.
Teng Chong grinned: "Yes, of course there is." "I don't know why, on a hot day, Brother Ye's body not only doesn't smell, but also has a light fragrance, which makes people want to get closer unconsciously.
Pei someone, who was walking in front, suddenly paused.
The two of them almost didn't stop.
"Big ...... Adult......" Teng Chong was swept by the gaze of his boss, and he was so frightened that he immediately stopped.
Yeats arched his hand, "My lord, in the afternoon, I want to walk around the east of the city in person, and I won't go back to Dali Temple." β
One is really for business, and the other is almost half a day, and Yeats has to find an opportunity to change the menstrual belt.
It's so hard to be a woman, and it's even harder to be a woman in a career.
"Bai Lang."
"Lordβ"
"Fengde Lou will book two tables, and the personnel handling the case will have lunch together."
"Yes, sir." Bai Lang hurried to do it.
Mo Song held a knife and guarded his master not far away.
Yeats and Teng Chong secretly glanced at each other, this is not free?
The bigwigs have all been invited to Fengde Building, which is a high-end restaurant that only the powerful can enter, and if you have it, you don't have to sell it cheaply.
The group happily followed Boss Pei to eat good.
Walking to the mouth of the alley, Zhang Jin was carrying a jar of clear spring water and waiting.
"My lordβ" Seeing Pei Shaoqing, he hurriedly came to salute.
Yeats casually looked at the small grocery store at the mouth of the alley, the shop was not deep, wide enough, and there were a lot of miscellaneous things in a row, such as clothes sticks, lipsticks, combs, soaphorns, wooden basins, bowls and chopsticks, and also selling rice, meat, spring water, etc., as long as the common people wanted to use them, there were basically them.
It's like a modern small supermarket, quite complete.
When I met the shopkeeper's eyes, the woman smiled, quite hearty, Yeats nodded and smiled, it seemed that business was good.
Master Pei walked to the front.
Zhang Jin hugged the jar, "Don't drink it?" β
"Drink and eat good."
"Really?" Zhang Jin's eyes lit up, it was good to follow his boss, as long as they were happy, they could eat good.
"Of course it is." Teng Chong was also happy, he was able to eat with the second-in-command of Dali Temple from the third-rank official, and when he returned home, the elders of the family asked, which was a manifestation of his appearance!
At noon, not only did she have a good meal with Boss Pei, the restaurant was of high grade, but there was also a single room for washing, Yeats was able to catch her breath, and quickly changed her menstrual belt, seeing that the stolen menstrual supplies were almost empty, she was worried again.
Yeats never felt that there was anything annoying about being a woman, but when she came to the Great Wei Dynasty for the first time, it was like a disc war movie, and there were several days in each month in the future, how could she survive these days?
Worry about.
And annoying.
Forget it, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain.
When I got out of the bathroom, it was noon, and it was hot like a dog outside.
Big Guy Pei sat in the private room with ice, resting leisurely, and his subordinates followed suit, and they all sat in the private room to blow the breeze.
Of course, the big guy is alone.
Yeats entered the big guy's room, and before he could sit down, he was stopped by Bai Lang, "Ye Pingshi, the adult has something to ask." β
The case is tricky, it's normal, Lu Chengsi is even secretly happy because the boss didn't call him, ten cases, none of them have been solved, he doesn't dare to face his boss, it's good to have Yeats in front of him.
Teng Chong didn't keep his mouth shut, he drank two more glasses of wine, and he was fascinated by being top-heavy!
The big guy called her, Yeats has no opinion, but you can't just call her not someone else, a lonely man, she is afraid!
Yeats reluctantly entered the big man's private room and bowed, "My lordβ"
Pei Jingning motioned for him to sit.
Yeats had no choice but to find a declination angle and sit down.
Pei Jingning's whole person leaned comfortably in the circle chair, as if he was very relaxed, and the immortal aura that was like a cloud from the inside out seemed to have been suddenly pulled into the fireworks of the world by this meal.
Yeats was uncomfortable, and his eyes flashed to the empty and safe space.
The small movements of the subordinates all fell in Pei Jingning's eyes, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled, "Are you going to start from that alley in the afternoon?" β
He tilted his head to look.
The big guys all spoke, and Yeats couldn't pretend to be stupid anymore, so he had to look over.
The eyes are facing each other.
Dressed in a moon-white brocade robe, the neckline is slightly loose, revealing casual, the face is clear, the eyes are facing Yeats, the eyebrows and eyes are soft, the head is slightly raised, and the jaw line is a little tight, looking inexplicably sexy.
There was a momentary pause in the atmosphere.
Isn't it, Pei Meiren is really interesting to him?
Yeats almost said, "My lord, sober up, I'm a fake woman, woman, I'm really not a man!"
You want to work hard and be thin, it seems that you have found the wrong person!
Mother! Big Brother Pei bothered you to hurry up and take up the ruthless posture of the superior, she is really ...... like this It's hard to concentrate on analyzing the case.
Yeats slightly avoided his focused gaze and coughed, "Analyzing ten limb cases, from one to ten, this case is a little lady, I think the murderer should be a young man, and ......"
Yeats had a tall, thin young man with a sickly hunched back, a pale face, eyes shining through unkempt hair, and a gaze as dark as a snake.
"Why young people?" Pei Jingning's gaze fell on the white and handsome little face of his subordinate, as if listening to his analysis, and as if he was thinking through something.
Speaking of the case, the mess in Yeats's mind immediately receded like a tide and entered the analysis, "Maybe it is not a young man, he has only limbs, but he has no head or torso, and the previous ten cases ......"
"Dali Temple has not found any of the heads and torsos in the ten cases so far."
Yeats frowned: "I didn't even find it...... Does that mean that the head and torso were used by the murderer? β
"How do you use it?"
How to use it? Yeats woke up from the case, "Could it be that the murderer eats ......" people?
Even experienced criminal investigators have hardly encountered cases of cannibalism, and if there really is, it would be too cruel.
Yeats didn't want to think so.
"It's not impossible."
Pei Jingning ruthlessly forced Yeats to look directly.
She took a deep breath and got up, "My lord, it's not too early, I have to go and handle the case, and I will bring the murderer to justice as soon as possible, so as not to harm the next innocent person." β
This time he didn't stop it.
Bai Lang stepped forward, "This is the cooling oil prepared by the master for Ye Pingshi to prevent heat stroke." β
"Thank you, sir." In ancient times, these ordinary things in later generations were very precious, and ordinary people could not touch these things at all, and Yeats was very sincere in gratitude.
It's really hard to run a case in the summer.
Yeats went through the first ten limb cases, and generally visited all the small alleys in the east and south of the city, and also checked all the little ladies who left the capital.
"Is there a result?" Teng Chong checked with all the registered people every day, "Have you heard that the little lady didn't go to a relative's house?" β
