A little weak chicken came to Dali Temple

Chapter 236 Cabinet Case (2)

The innkeeper's waiter was in the crowd. When he heard the people from Dali Temple asking questions, the waiter took a step forward and said, "The guest paid for the room and put something in the cabinet. He didn't come back, and I didn't come either. It wasn't until a nearby guest smelled the odor that we discovered the stench came from the cabinet in this room."

"Didn't smell it until today?"

Such a strong corpse smell.

The waiter said, "Our cabinets are thick and well-sealed, and this room is at the far end, so when the smell wasn't that big, we thought there was something dead in the kitchen behind us. We kept looking for it, but couldn't find it, until Today, a guest staying next door smelled too bad, so we found out that the stench came from here."

Yeats reached out and pushed the cabinet door. The door panel was indeed very thick, and when the two doors were closed, the sealing was indeed very good.The smell of such a strong corpse is actually blocked. Should I say that the quality of the cabinet is good?
Since this is not a crime scene, it must have taken more than three days for the deceased to be killed and dismembered, but how many days exactly?

Yan Wuzuo looked at Yeats.

Yeats looked at the flying flies and suddenly asked, "Who was the first to open this cabinet door?"

The waiter replied tremblingly, "It's me."

"Were the flies outside or inside?"

"Of course it's inside," the waiter said. "As soon as I opened the cabinet door, my God, flies were flying all over my head and face."

"Are you sure there isn't one outside?"

"Of course, our inn is very clean, how can we allow flies in guests' rooms?"

Yeats frowned.

Yan Wuzuo has been working with her for so long and feels blessed. "Ye Pingshi, do you want to say that the time of death can be seen from these flies?"

Yeats nodded, "Yes, that's right."

"That……"

"Master Yan, it's not that fast. You have to do experiments to know." Yeats said, "Take all the body parts back now, dissect those that need to be dissected, and keep those that need to be frozen."

"it is good."

Now that Yeats said this, everyone has a backbone and immediately takes back all the smelly corpses.

Before leaving, Yeats drew a picture of the man who booked the room based on the waiter's description, and asked Teng Chong, Zhang Jin and others to find the man based on the picture. Since he didn't know where the murderer was, he didn't alert him, so he didn't post a search document for the time being.

After being refrigerated overnight, the smell of the corpse was much better the next day. Yeats asked Yan Wu to do an autopsy: "The main thing is to see if there are any poison residues in the stomach."

"Why did Ye Pingshi make such a judgment?"

Yeats pointed to the four limbs and said, "My lord, do you think this is cyanosis?"

Yesterday, the smell was strong and the rot was severe. Yan Zuo really didn't pay attention to it, but after a night of freezing, the rotten parts were frozen, which made it easier to observe the state of the corpse.

Sure enough, cyanosis appeared. Cyanosis refers to an increase in oxygen and hemoglobin in the blood, causing the skin and mucous membranes to turn blue-purple. It can also be called cyanosis.

In layman's terms, the surface of the skin looks purple. From this phenomenon, it is inferred that the corpse died of poisoning.

How can we determine that he died of poisoning?After the corpse is chopped into pieces, it stands to reason that there should be a response to life. Life response refers to the defensive response that occurs in the injured part and the whole body when violence acts on the living body. In layman's terms, the body of a living person will respond to external forces. React, but dead people don't.

Therefore, it can basically be inferred that the deceased was already dead before being dismembered.

It may be due to man-made mechanical death, or it may be due to poisoning, so it is necessary to dissect the stomach of the trunk part of the corpse to see if there is poison in the stomach.

After the autopsy, it was indeed discovered that there was poison in the stomach. "It's actually five stones scattered."

Wushisan is the elixir used by ancient emperors and celebrities to seek immortality.

What the ancients thought was an elixir is poison to modern people.

One of the ores in Fifty Powder contains arsenic, and arsenic can be refined into arsenic. If you think it is poison, eating too much of it will kill people.

Yeats patted his face and said, "This is not a case for ordinary people." After all, Five Stone Powder is something only rich people can eat, and ordinary people can afford it.

Yeats said to Teng Chong and Zhang Jin, "The murderer may be a wealthy official's son. As for the women... they may be prostitutes... or they may be wealthy daughters or young wives. Go and check if any such people have disappeared recently."

"it is good."

With the direction of the investigation in hand, Teng Chong and Zhang Jin acted separately.

During Yan's dissection, Yeats also found what she needed. She used tweezers to pick out maggot-like pupae, "My lord, look..."

"This is……"

"Maggots."

Yan Zuo understood somewhat. After all, he was also a veteran for many years. "Is it a kind of corpse maggot?"

"It's okay."

After a person dies, if he is not cremated but buried underground, he will be deconstructed by various creatures. In the end, only a skeleton will remain. Even after hundreds or thousands of years, the skeleton will turn into dust.

far away!
Let's talk about fly maggots. The one on Yeats's tweezers has reached the pre-pupa stage, and it takes exactly 4 days for the eggs of this fly to go from the laying stage to the pre-pupa stage, which means the fly's egg-laying period It was four days ago, which was probably the time of the woman's death. This was just the day before the bag was placed in the inn cabinet.

Yeats speculated that when the corpse was dismembered, the weather was hot, and flies happened to lay eggs on the corpse that was exposed to the fishy smell during the dismemberment, and these eggs were also brought to the inn cabinet by the cloth bag. This is why when the corpse was opened, The scene of flies flying around the cabinet door is also the reason why there are fly maggots in the corpse.

"That is to say, four days ago, this woman was poisoned, then killed, and finally thrown into a cabinet in the inn."

Yeats said, "That's basically it."

Yan Zuo said, "It's a pity that the decay is serious, and there is no head, and no teeth can be seen. If the teeth can be seen, her approximate age can be inferred."

Yeats looked at the deceased's abdomen and pelvis and said, "Sir, do you look like a woman?"

Yan Wuzuo looked at it carefully and then checked it again, "Master Ye is right, the pelvic bones of those who have given birth to children are different from those who have not given birth to children. This is indeed a woman who has given birth to children. She is estimated to be around two years old." Early teens.”

Why would a young woman who took Wu Shi Powder be killed?
Returning to Dali Temple from Yizhuang, Yeats reported the investigation situation to Lu Sicheng, "Sir, this is the general situation."

Lu Sicheng was surprised, "You said the murderer might be a son of a wealthy official?"

"Yes, my lord."

"What about the dead?"

Yeats said, "I'm not sure. It could be a prostitute, or it could be a wealthy official."

Lu Sicheng pondered for a moment, "Okay, let Teng Baotou and the others investigate first."

Yeats nodded, saying there was nothing wrong, so she left and returned to the office room. Zhao Bai was on duty today.
