"Good." Xie Zhi exclaimed: "How could there be so many injuries, was he beaten to death?" ”

"It's hard to say." Ye Caitang's initial inspection only looked at the appearance, and he couldn't see whether there were fatal injuries.

But the deceased did have many bruises on his body, some of which had taken on a purple-black color. The scars vary in shape, from long strips to triangles and other irregular shapes.

"It's not like it's a stick, or rather, it's not a single stick." Ye Caitang said: "There are many shapes of murder weapons, and the severity of the attack is also different, and the angle is also different, but the time when they are produced is similar. ”

Generally speaking, when a person beats another person, he will not only hit one or two murder weapons and then change to another murder weapon. Unless this is a test of the performance of the murder weapon, otherwise, isn't it full of food and support?

"So." Ye Caitang said: "If the deceased died from being beaten, it should have been beaten by many people, judging by the injuries on his body, there were no less than five people on the other side." ”

Five to one, no wonder it can be killed.

Xie Zhi asked casually: "Can you see how long you have been dead?" ”

"It didn't take long." Ye Caitang said: "After a person dies, within half an hour to an hour and a half, there will be a corpse stiffness. Mortis mortis initially appears on the facial and eye muscles and then spreads to the upper and lower extremities of the trunk. Six hours later, the corpse was completely stiff. The mortis lasted for about three hours and began to ease, and the corpse recovered and softened. ”

But at the same time, there is also a certain time pattern for the appearance of corpse spots, blood circulation stops after death, and after two quarters of an hour at the earliest, the blood accumulates at the bottom of the corpse due to its own gravity, and the skin shows purple-red marks, like red wine at the bottom of a bottle, which is corpse spots. Corpse spots appear within two to five hours of death at the latest. ”

The deceased was soft and did not appear to be mortis, or the mortis was over.

However, there were no corpse spots on the skin of the deceased.

Taken together, the time of death of the deceased did not exceed two hours.

Because the deceased was soaked in water, the temperature in the water was relatively low, and it was not fixed somewhere with the current, the appearance of corpse spots and corpse mortis may be later, and the time of death of the deceased should be within three hours.

It's an ugly time, it's about two o'clock, and if you push forward three hours, it's six hours, Ye Caitang silently calculated in his heart.

Therefore, the time of death of the deceased is probably from eight o'clock, that is, from the time of the deceased to the present.

Huang Quan stood aside and watched silently, breathtaking.

Sure enough, people can't look good, no wonder Ye Caitang was so calm and calm when he saw the scar on his hand, he was really well-informed.

Even a corpse that had just been fished out of the river was so calm that his scar was simply unsightly. It's also ridiculous, I haven't put my hand out of my sleeve for so many years for this scar.

If a person has just died, and he is suspected of being beaten to death, then he must report to the official.

Huang Quan reluctantly ordered to land.

Dock on the spot and go to the officer.

"Hey......" Huang Quan looked at Xie Zhi and Ye Caitang: "This matter should have been reported to Shuntianfu, but since you are all from the Six Gates, it can be seen that there is fate, then I will report it to you." ”

What the hell, with a corpse, or with an unjust case?

Xie Zhi and Ye Caitang gave Huang Quan four white eyes.

After such a commotion, Shen Xingyu also woke up, there was no excitement in this world that she couldn't make up, and when she heard that there seemed to be something outside, she ran up wrapped in clothes.

Seeing that it was a white and miserable corpse, he covered his mouth and ran down.

After a while, the boat finally reached the shore, the anchor was thrown down, and Huang Quan's men got off the boat, and quickly whipped up to the six doors to report the crime.

There was no shop in front of the village, and the shore was very desolate, and he had to rush to the nearest town so that he could get a horse and ride back.

Fortunately, although they floated down the river for half the night, the river was gentle and not fast, and they were not in a hurry, and the river was still twisting and turning, so they did not go too far.

The drowsiness was gone, the wine was awake, and the people couldn't sleep anymore, so they gathered around the corpse to discuss.

Xie Zhi said: "This person has so many injuries on his body, you say that he was not necessarily killed?" ”

"It's not that he didn't have to be killed, it's that the cause of death can't be determined, it must be related to these bruises." Ye Caitang said: "If you want to be sure, you need to check further." ”

Huang Quan was overwhelmed for a while and asked.

"So checked?"

Ye Caitang made a gesture of incision.

Huang Quan thought for a while: "What about specifically?" ”

"My experience." Ye Caitang said: "With such a serious bruise and bruise on the skin, I must have been beaten by a huge external force." There may be a lot of broken bones in the body, and the broken bones are likely to puncture the organs in the body, resulting in death. ”

But this is not visible from the outside.

Even if you can feel a few bones that have been roughly broken, you can't be sure if the bones punctured the internal organs and caused the death without dissecting them.

"Oh......" Huang Quan nodded: "What Xiao Ye said makes sense. ”

I don't know when Huang Quan also started calling Xiaoye.

Compared to Miss Ye, Xiao Ye is much closer. I don't know if he plans to get closer to Shen Xingyu next, and starts calling Tang Tang.

But if he dared to shout, he would definitely break his leg.

Xie Zhi calculated the time.

"Hurry back, man, and then the adults will come again, even if it is not delayed, it will be after dawn."

If adults don't come, it's not easy to dissect.

Otherwise, let's go back to sleep first, the corpse won't be lost, there is no need to guard it.

To be honest, it's a bit strange that the three of them are sitting in a circle, surrounded by corpses in the middle. Both the guy and the cook felt a lot of pressure, but the guy was better, but the cook was hiding far away and didn't want to come out to take a look.

Ye Caitang held his chin and looked at the corpse, focusing on the bruises on his body.

"It's weird." Ye Caitang said: "I really can't understand, under what circumstances would the murderer use so many murder weapons to beat the deceased to death?" ”

Even if it's a lot of people, they rush up.

The long wound is recognizable, what is the triangle, what is the strange shape?

No one answered.

Huang Quan shouted, "Xiao Jia, come over here." ”

Xiao Jia is the guy on the boat, and the painting boat in Huangquan has always been handed over to him to take care of, and it has been properly cleaned up all year round.

Huang Quan said: "You often come and go on the river, do you know what has been unpeaceful recently?" ”

The river on the edge of the capital will not make trouble with water bandits, but there is indeed not a copper plate on the deceased.

"Nope." Xiao Jia thought about it carefully: "There are no things that are not peaceful, but I heard that there are good things." ”
