Datang Coroner

Chapter 1973 New Discovery
Originally, Li Changbo's plan was very good.

Unexpectedly, the plan was broken.

Because just after dawn, the murder happened.

A dead body was quietly floating beside the largest river lantern in Quchi.Gently rippling with the waves.

It was too dark before, and the people watching the river lanterns didn't notice anything unusual, but now that it's dawn, some people can see that something is wrong.

What floats on the water is not water plants and lights at all, but a piece of clothing worn by a person!
When I got closer, I screamed in fright: there was a corpse in the water that was hung by a river lamp!

A group of people hurriedly reported the case.

Li Changbo could only bring everyone over to have a look.

The body was still in the water, and no one dared to salvage it.

Fu Shiyi glanced at it from a distance, and then said, "Let someone go fish it."

Li Changbo ordered people to fish for it.

But not jumping into the water to fish.Instead, people rowed the boat, first untied the cloth strips hanging from the river lamp, and then dragged it all the way back with hooks.Otherwise, in such a cold day, people who jump into the water are prone to accidents.Even if you come back safely, it's not good if you get sick from the cold.

After the corpses are brought back to the shore, they will be dragged ashore by unscrupulous people.

Afterwards, Fu Shiyi surrounded the place with a tent on the shore, and directly started the preliminary autopsy.

The first step is to determine the cause of death.

The deceased was indeed a male, and was a little swollen from the blisters, but it was not serious, and even the corruption was only slight, so the original appearance could still be seen.With blue and white skin, he was wearing a maroon silk shirt, his hat had disappeared, his hair had been scattered, entangled like a mass of black weeds, and collapsed on the ground.

Judging by his age, he should be in his 30s, in his prime.Not very tall, of medium build.

After Fu Shiyi glanced at it, he began the autopsy.

If the deceased died of drowning, the lungs should be full of water at this moment, and there should be sand in the mouth and nose.

Fu Shiyi first pressed on the chest of the deceased, and then frowned.

No water came out of the dead man's mouth or nose.

She stretched her hand back: "Bring a cotton swab."

Xu Shuangyu immediately took out the cotton swabs and handed one to Fu Shiyi.

Fu Shiyi inserted his face into the nasal cavity of the deceased, then carefully rotated it a few times, and then pulled it out.

Except for water, there is no sediment on the cotton swab.Not even aquatic plants.

Fu Shiyi said in a deep voice: "The deceased did not drown. He was thrown into Quchi after death."

At first, Fu Shiyi guessed whether he accidentally stepped on the ice in winter and fell to his death, but now it seems that it should not be.

Quchi has ice all winter.Only in the last few days has it slowly melted away.This is also due to man-made reasons - when the river lanterns were tied, the ice surface was smashed to allow the boat to pass.Coupled with the warmer temperature, the ice surface did not freeze again.

The deceased did not drown, so the time when the corpse was thrown in Quchi must have been in the last few days.

Li Changbo did not hesitate: "Take it back for an autopsy."

For a careful autopsy, this is not the place to be.

He was more or less in a headache: Zheng Yi's case has not been solved yet, and here comes another case.Not enough energy.

After the corpse was brought back to the Chang'an County Yamen, Fu Shiyi immediately led the crowd, and devoted themselves to the great cause of autopsy.

"The deceased, male, about five feet five in height, with a medium build. He was about 30 years old." Fu Shiyi said while Zhai Sheng recorded.

Zhong Yuehan and Xu Shuangyu fought together.

"There was no bleeding point under the skin of the deceased's face. There was no bleeding point in the conjunctiva. There were no wounds in the gums and mouth, and there was no sign of bleeding."

After checking the head, Fu Shiyi began to take off the dead man's clothes.

As soon as she unwrapped it, she found something: "The deceased's clothes were damaged in the abdomen. There was a small amount of blood on the clothes."

Fu Shiyi pulled back the clothes, and the chest and abdomen of the deceased slowly appeared in front of everyone.

Then everyone saw a gash in the abdomen of the deceased.

Because of the soaking water, the wound didn't even have blood, and the edges were whitish, and there were defects.Like rotten cotton wool.

Everyone: ... a murder case.

Fu Shiyi went up to look at the wound carefully, and said firmly, "It was bitten by a fish."

Now, many people trembled: Although it is a normal phenomenon, they still feel hairy when they hear it.

In the next sentence, Fu Shiyi said: "The wound has been gnawed like this, and it is still wrapped in clothes, which means that he has been in Quchi for a while."

For this question, Zhai Shenghui said: "It usually takes half a month to a month for a corpse to surface in winter."

Fu Shiyi shook his head: "The corpse is not corrupt, how could it float up by itself? Someone tied the corpse there. It's just that no one noticed it before."

"So it's not too long?" Xu Shuangyu was a little puzzled: "Didn't it mean that the fish has been eating for a while?"

"This time is about three to four days." Fu Shiyi said softly: "The temperature in the water is actually a little higher than outside, not so cold, so the corpse will decompose a little faster than at normal temperature. Look at his corpse. It has been completely relieved, and the body is also slightly swollen, and it can be estimated that it has been dead for at least four days."

"His corruption is more serious than that of Zheng Yi. Today is the fourth day of Zheng Yi's death."

The three students nodded in unison, and looked around the corpse carefully.

"Moreover, there should be blood in the wound, and the blood will be washed away when it meets water, attracting carnivorous fish. But with clothes in place, big fish can't get in, but small fish can get in through the damaged hole and the collar hole Go in." Fu Shi smiled and said, "If the wound is deep enough, there might still be fish in the stomach."

These words immediately made many people couldn't help looking at the round belly of the deceased.

Because of soaking in water, the stomach is quite white.It looks a little round and bulging.

Fu Shiyi also stared at that stomach, and had a thought in his mind that he shouldn't have.

She coughed in disguise, and reached out to Xu Shuangyu: "Bring the chopsticks."

Chopsticks go in through the wound, poke it to the end and then withdraw it to measure the penetration depth of the wound.

When the chopsticks entered halfway, Fu Shiyi understood: "This wound should be a fatal wound. The belly of the deceased was penetrated, and the murder weapon entered the abdominal cavity. The damage to internal organs can only be confirmed by laparotomy."

Xu Shuangyu boldly suggested: "Can you also drop by to see if there are any fish?"

Fu Shiyi: ...

She didn't bother to pay attention to the silly fish, and just continued to measure the width of the wound in a serious manner.

The width of the wound is about as long as a finger.

Wide in the middle and narrow at both ends.Because the edge was gnawed by fish, it is not clear whether it is a neat sharp knife wound.

So Fu Shiyi drew a horizontal line along the wound: "This time, we don't need to open the abdomen vertically, but along the wound. This way we can see the damage inside the wound."

As soon as Zhong Yuehan heard this, he immediately actively prepared the knives.
