Chapter 19 Strange Causes of Death
Gongsun gently lifted the white cloth that covered the three corpses on the ground. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
On the side, Xue Tianhan's expression suddenly became extremely difficult to look at.
The three corpses in front of him can only be described in one word: miserable!
The three corpses were all men, two of them had unrecognizable faces, and only one had slight burns on his face, which could vaguely be distinguished.
And this corpse that can be distinguished from the face, according to Xing Enming, is the murderer Quanxing.
Although the other two bodies had been burned to the point of inhuman form, based on the vague fragments of clothing left on their bodies, it was certain that they should be the official in charge of escorting them.
Moreover, in addition to the fact that their faces could not be seen clearly, most of the three corpses were blurred with flesh and blood, and there were burns of varying degrees. It even has a smell similar to that of barbecue.
This kind of situation, for the natural cleanliness of the snow hero, is naturally not a tolerable range.
I saw that the moment Gongsun opened the white cloth and saw the corpse, the whole person directly frowned and retreated, and his pretty face was also slightly pale.
Chen Yutian and the others who understood the situation naturally didn't say much, but Xing Enming was not among them, so when he saw Xue Tianhan like this, he asked, "What's wrong with Xue Shaoxia?"
Hearing this question, Chen Yutian smiled bitterly.
"Perhaps. After a moment, he looked at Xue Tianhan's back and nodded slightly.
Then, Gongsun began the autopsy.
Not long after, Xuan Xi, Ling Miaoyin, and Tang Fengling, because they couldn't stand the disgusting appearance of the corpse, went to find Xue Tianhan as a companion.
But Gongsun's post-mortem did not stop.
But seeing that he kept groping his hands on the two charred, almost inhuman-shaped corpses, many people around him also frowned.
Then, Gongsun lifted the hand of one of the corpses.
This hand is almost scorched, and its original appearance cannot be seen, and even the flesh and blood on it are not quite complete, and in some places there are already white bones exposed, which looks quite terrifying.
After that, he removed the mouths of the three corpses and put his hand into their mouths to examine them. At this scene, Lin Dao and Wu Dongtian around him frowned slightly.
Immediately, everyone saw Gongsun frowning slightly.
"What's wrong?" Xing Enming asked.
Gongsun did not answer, but raised Quanxing's right hand.
Among the three corpses, only Quanxing's body suffered the least burns, and the hands of the three people, only Quanxing's two hands, were the most intact.
And Gongsun frowned even more after looking at Quanxing's right hand.
"Strange?" he whispered to himself.
"Gongsun, what's wrong?" Seeing this, Chen Yutian also asked.
Gongsun raised Quanxing's right hand to show everyone.
I saw that the right hand was no different from an ordinary man's hand except for a few burns, it was wide and rough, and there were some calluses on the palm of the tiger's mouth.
"What's wrong with this hand? it looks normal?" Xing Enming looked at it and asked suspiciously.
Gongsun sighed, "It's because it's so normal, that's why it's a little strange." ”
After hearing this, everyone looked at each other, looking confused.
"What do you mean?" Chen Yutian looked at the right hand carefully, touched his chin slightly, and asked solemnly.
Gongsun said: "Because the three of them don't have the slightest soot in their mouths. ”
"What?"
Hearing this, Chen Yutian, Xing Enming, and Zhou Lin all changed their expressions, and they were surprised in unison.
"Yes, there is not the slightest soot in their mouths, but such a death is obviously burned, so I think it is strange. Gongsun sighed and said.
Chen Yutian and the three of them also frowned slightly.
Seeing them like this, Wu Dongtian and Lin Dao, who had not figured out the situation at all, looked at each other again, and both sides found a trace of confusion in each other's eyes.
So the former couldn't help but speak: "Although it is rude to interrupt your conversation, can you explain to us why it is strange that there is no soot in the mouth of the deceased?"
Hearing this, Zhou Lin explained to the two: "The two of you don't know, in fact, few of the people who died at the scene of the fire or explosion were directly killed by explosives or burned alive by the fire. Most of the dead were actually choked to death by the smoke produced by the flames.
Because these people are choked to death by the smoke, after their death, the smoke that enters their bodies will form soot in the mouth or stomach of the deceased.
Under normal circumstances, when judging whether a person really died in a fire, he will check whether the deceased has soot in his mouth or stomach, and if so, it means that the deceased really died in the fire. But if not, it means that the deceased was dumped at the scene of the fire after the murderer's death. At this time, it is necessary to file a case for investigation and arrest the real culprit. “
After listening to Zhou Lin's explanation, Wu Dongtian and Lin Dao both nodded slightly: "I see." ”
However, since there was no soot in the mouths of the three bodies, it means that they were burned after they died. But what does this have to do with the fingers of the deceased?" Wu Dongtian asked again.
Hearing this, Gongsun spoke: "There is not the slightest fatal trauma on the deceased's body, nor has there been any compression on the neck, and there is no trace of struggle. It shows that they were not killed with sharp weapons, nor were they strangled or strangled to death. Then if you want a person's life, there is only one possibility left - poisoning!"
Hearing this, Lin Dao and Wu Dongtian both nodded.
Indeed, poisoning the deceased without causing any external injuries to the deceased is the most likely way.
"However, I have just tested it with a silver needle, and I have seen the nails of the deceased, and in all cases, it has proved that the deceased did not show the slightest sign of poisoning. Gongsun said again.
Hearing this, Wu Dongtian's complexion changed suddenly!
It wasn't a death from trauma, it wasn't a death from poisoning, so how exactly did the murderers kill the dead? After all, without soot in their mouths, it is almost impossible to die from explosions and fires.
However, there are only a few ways to kill a person, and if none of these methods are any, then what is it?
Thinking of this, a trace of fear suddenly surged in Wu Dongtian's eyes.
How the murderer killed the deceased, he did not know.
However, the murderer did not use any known method that could cause death, but an unknown method of killing that no one had ever seen.
The unknown is often the most terrifying thing.
At this time, Lin Dao also frowned slightly, and said suspiciously, "If the deceased did not die of poisoning or assassination, then how did he die?"
Hearing this question, Gongsun sighed.
"I don't know about this at the moment. But ......"
As he said this, a dazzling gleam suddenly radiated in his eyes.
"I'll know after all, because the corpse will definitely tell me the answer. ”
With that, he ordered several officials to help him carry the body back to the coroner's office in Kowloon Mansion. Then he also said goodbye to everyone directly, followed the three corpses, and went back.
He was going to examine the three bodies carefully and find out the cause of death.
After Gongsun left, Chen Yutian looked at the inn that had been blown up in half, and said to everyone: "Let's go! Let's go to the scene now." ”
