Datang Coroner

Chapter 117 Doubts in the Heart

Zhong Yuehan and Xu Shuangyu understood.

Even Li Changbo understood: "So, now we can only judge that he died of suffocation. It is not yet possible to judge whether he committed suicide or not—"

Fu Shi nodded, gave him a look of approval, and said in his heart: What a good seedling, what a pity.

Immediately afterwards, Fu Shiyi asked Zhong Yuehan to help him: "Look at the back of the corpse."

There are already obvious corpse spots on the back of the corpse, and they are connected into a large area.

Fu Shiyi said softly: "According to common sense, corpse spots and small-scale rigor mortis appear about half an hour to an hour after death, and after about two hours, they are flakes, not connected to each other, and rigor mortis mostly appears. About three hours later, the plaques merged into large pieces, rigor appeared all over the body, and the lips began to shrink."

Zhong Yuehan immediately made a judgment: "The corpse spots have become a large area, but the rigor has not appeared all over the body, and the lips have not started to shrink, so what's going on?"

Of course, Fu Shiyi also noticed this phenomenon, and immediately gave an explanation: "Because the deceased died of mechanical asphyxia, the body spots appeared earlier, which is also one of the manifestations of mechanical asphyxia death. The reason is because of this acute asphyxia, it will It causes blood stasis, so it appears earlier."

Zhong Yuehan was stunned, and his mind immediately overlapped with the cases he had handled before, and then he nodded deeply.

Unknowingly, he looked at Fu Shiyi more solemnly.

Fu Shi took a look at the corpse spots on his back, and said decisively: "The corpse spots are deposited on the back, which means that they have not been moved after death. This is the scene of the first crime."

Xu Shuangyu still couldn't forget the previous question: "Then was he injured before he died, or was he injured after death—"

Fu Shiyi coughed: "Then this involves a new knowledge point."

Fu Shi stretched out his finger and pointed to the bloody place: "Look carefully at the wound."

Zhong Yuehan didn't care about the smell, so he took a closer look.

Fu Shiyi pointed to the edge of the wound: "The wound will shrink, roll up, and have life reactions, which means it was an injury during life. It's like when you hurt yourself, you will find that the wound will shrink a little after a while, whether it is The skin, or the flesh, is shrinking as much as possible and gathering together. After a while, the edge of the wound will become red and swollen, and even light yellow transparent water will emerge to help scabs form."

"These are all caused by the wounds of living people, which will heal on their own. That's why it's called life reaction. Having this kind of reaction proves that they are still alive."

"On the contrary, if the wound directly shows a gap pattern without any sign of contraction, it means that it was caused after death."

Zhong Yuehan has already made a judgment: "This wound should have been caused during his lifetime. The whole flesh is shrinking. And so much blood has flowed—"

Fu Shiyi nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, there won't be a lot of blood flow after death. Because after death, blood no longer flows. Even if a wound bleeds, it's only because there is still accumulated blood in that place."

So the amount of bleeding is limited.

Xu Shuangyu gasped, feeling unbelievable: "How painful is that?"

However, Li Changbo has already thought more deeply: "If such an injury was caused during his lifetime, it means that the murderer must have wanted to torture the deceased. And... how to do it so that people will not scream out of pain and struggle to resist—"

Even if the people in this house are deaf-mute, it doesn't mean that all the neighbors around are dead.

It was really loud and screaming, and the neighbors could hear a little clue.

Fu Shiyi pointed to the strangle marks and skin damage caused by friction on the corpse's wrists and ankles: "Because the deceased was tied up."

Fu Shiyi stretched out his hand and gently opened the deceased's jaw, carefully observed the corners of the lips and oral mucosa, and then affirmed: "The reason why he didn't scream is because his mouth was also blocked."

"A person whose mouth is blocked is not completely unable to make a sound, but it is definitely not very sharp and high-pitched, not enough to spread far. Naturally, they cannot hear."

Fu Shi repeatedly stated the fact: "Besides, when a person has a huge wound on his body, he can no longer scream. The pain is so painful that he can't speak. This sentence is not a simple adjective."

Li Changbo nodded, and frowned even tighter: "So, the murderer is very experienced. If he is tied up, he won't resist, and he will keep his mouth shut so that he won't call someone—"

"So, how did he tie up the dead man? How did he get inside?"

Li Hai can answer this question without fuss: "The door latch is well placed, and there is no trace of any knife scratches on it, so the door was not opened from the outside. And they opened the door as soon as they pushed it." , it can be seen that the murderer left through the door."

"We have also checked the windows. They are always open in this weather, but there are no traces of footsteps on the window lattice."

"Either he entered through the window, and the murderer was very skilled, so no trace was left behind. Or, the deceased opened the door to let people in. Or, the murderer laid an ambush in advance, waiting for the deceased to return to the house to sleep."

Fu Shiyi echoed: "Li Hai's analysis is correct. But on this point, maybe we can ask the deceased."

Fu Shiyi said it so seriously that at this moment, everyone felt a sense of absurdity in their hearts - people are dead, why ask him?How would he answer?

Thinking about it too much makes people feel a little shivering in the back.

Fu Shiyi quickly explained the secret to everyone: "Mr. Zhong, look at the back of the head and neck of the corpse."

Zhong Yuehan turned the deceased over, brushed his hair, and took a closer look.Then shook his head: "There is no trace of knocking."

"No marks on the back of the neck either."

Fu Shi nodded: "It seems that he was knocked unconscious."

Li Changbo was thoughtful: "Therefore, there are two possibilities left—one is that the deceased was willing, and the other is that some kind of medicine was used to make people faint—"

Fu Shiyi nodded happily: "Magistrate Li is indeed smart."

Li Changbo didn't show it on his face, just coughed lightly: "It's just these two methods, but it's hard to confirm—"

Fu Shiyi smiled: "Of course."

Li Changbo raised his eyebrows: "Then I have to pay the little lady."

Fu Shiyi gave him a "wrapped on me" look: "The time of death should be after noon. There is still food outside the house, obviously after lunch. Open your mouth and smell it. I know that he has not drunk alcohol. If he has not drunk alcohol, he will naturally not be drunk and drowsy. In the current weather, it is not necessary to take a nap at noon. Therefore, when a large living person enters the room during or just after eating, He won't know."

This passage is quite informative, and Li Changbo couldn't help thinking about it.
