Da Song Private Investigator

Chapter 633 Bone test.

Song Gongqing's ability to ask such a question shows that he has considered the problem very comprehensively, so at this time, Hwarang nodded slightly to indicate that he did.

Seeing Hualang nodding, Song Wanqiu smiled slightly, and said, "Two years ago, it rained heavily in our place, and once there was a flood. If this corpse was two years ago, it must have been covered by the rain. It was washed out, but it didn’t, the skeleton was not washed out until after the heavy rain yesterday, which means that the corpse was buried a year ago, and after a year, it became a skeleton.”

After listening to Song Gongqing's explanation, Hua Lang nodded and said: "Master Song is right, this is indeed a male corpse, and it is true that he died a year ago, but to examine the bones, only the whiteness of the bones and height It is always unsafe to test. After all, there are tall women and short men, and as long as the deceased is poisoned, the bones will turn black. To test whether the bones are male or female, you can verify from the following aspects First of all, look at the cranium. From the top of the head to the two ears and the back of the head, there are eight skulls in men. There is a horizontal slit at the back of the head. There is no seam at the bottom, Mr. Song came to see, isn't there exactly eight pieces of skull in this skeleton?"

Song Gongqing looked carefully and found that it was really as Hua Lang said, and at this time, his admiration for Hua Lang couldn't help but increase a bit.

Seeing Song Gongqing nod, Hua Lang continued: "Then look at the left and right ribs, men have twelve ribs each, and women have fourteen ribs each, can you see if this is the case?"

Song Gongqing checked carefully and found that there were indeed twelve left and right sides, and eight were long and four were short.

At this time, Hwarang continued: "Moreover, look at the coccyx. The man's spine is concave, with pointed petals on both sides, like water chestnuts, and there are nine holes around it. The woman's spine is straight, and there are six holes around it. A hole, can you see if this is the case?"

When Hwarang said about the coccyx, Song Gongqing had already gone to check it, so when Hwarang asked, Song Gongqing nodded and said yes. Seeing Song Gongqing like this, Hwarang smiled and said: "Is the bone of the autopsy male or female?" It is a very important thing, otherwise we will not be able to deduce the identity of the deceased. The reason why there are so many inspection methods is that sometimes the bones are not very complete. If there is no skull, we can only determine the gender of the deceased by examining the coccyx and ribs. , Of course, the ribs are the easiest to disperse, so you need to know these many methods of verification."

After Hua Lang finished speaking, Song Gongqing hurriedly gave Hua Lang a big gift, saying: "Young Master Hua is really knowledgeable, I have benefited a lot from listening to Young Master Hua today, if I am not the magistrate of Longxu, I really want to Handle the case with Playboy and learn the way of autopsy!"

The dignified Longxu county magistrate actually uttered such words, which somewhat shocked the officials, but Song Gongqing didn't care, and at this time, Hua Lang smiled and said: "Your Majesty Song, you can always find out if you think more about everything." New knowledge, now we have simply looked at the bones, now let’s start the autopsy, we need to know how the deceased died.”

Song Gongqing nodded again and again, and then asked: "I don't know what is needed for an autopsy?"

Hualang looked around and said, "Dig a cellar seven feet long, three feet wide and two feet deep beside the road, and use firewood to fire it."

Song Gongqing didn't understand what Hwarang was going to do, but he still asked the government servants to do what Hwarang said. After the cellar was dug and calcined, Hwarang asked people to remove the fire in the cellar, and then used two liters of good wine and five liters of sour vinegar. It was poured into the cellar, and in the hot air, Hua Lang ordered people to carry the bones into the pit, and covered them with straw mats. After steaming for about an hour, Hua Lang ordered people to carry the bones out again.

Hwarang ordered someone to cover the corpse with a red oil umbrella to inspect the bright part of the corpse. It turned out that there were red lines on the bones of the feet, and blood stains at the joints of the bones. After seeing these, Hwarang frowned slightly, and then Looking at the blood-smeared bone under the already slanting sunlight, it turned out that there was no blood mark on the bone, but it was broken.

Hua Lang held a human bone and said nothing. Seeing this, Song Gongqing was a little puzzled, and asked, "Young Master Hua, what did you find?"

Hwarang nodded and said: "There are red marks on the bone, which means that the deceased's foot bone was injured. If it is exposed to the sun, there is no blood mark, and if there is damage, there are two situations. Either the deceased's foot bone is The old wounds had existed several years before his death, or after the death of the deceased, someone hit the corpse's foot bones."

After listening to Hwarang's words, Song Gongqing asked: "Then it's not sure whether it was there early in the morning or was beaten after death?"

Hwarang showed embarrassment, and said: "It's really not easy now, let's look at other places." Hwarang said and walked towards the bones, but at this moment, he seemed to suddenly think of something, so he told Song Gongqing He said: "Please also ask Mr. Song to send someone to rummage in the surrounding soil to see if we can find the deceased's things. With the relics, it is easier for us to identify the deceased."

Song Gongqing nodded again and again, and then Hualang looked at the bones again.

Hwarang searched for the bones for a long time, only to find that some of the teeth on the bones were blackened, obviously signs of poisoning, Hwarang frowned slightly, unable to make a conclusion for a while.

But at this time, a yamen servant suddenly shouted: "I found a shoe in the mud, but it was already in tatters. There is also a gold silk purse here, which is full of mud, but it seems to be touched. So, it's been buried in the soil for a long time."

After the yamen servant washed the shoes and the money bag in the water, he could faintly see the word Tong embroidered on the money bag. After seeing this word, Hwarang's worries finally came like a flood.

After thinking for a while, Hua Lang said to Song Gongqing: "Please, Mr. Song, send someone to Lintong County and invite Deng Cuiyun from Lintong County to come and identify the corpse."

Hearing what Hualang said, Song Gongqing couldn't understand, and said: "How can Mr. Hua know who the dead person is from the shoes and the purse?"

Hualang sighed, and said: "This is just my guess. Do we have to invite Deng Cuiyun to come and talk about it?" After Hualang said this, Song Gongqing sent people to Lintong County, and then Hualang After telling the whole story of their coming to Longxu County, Song Gongqing suddenly realized after listening to it, thinking that it is no wonder Hua Lang was able to know the identity of the deceased.

Now that it’s westward and it’s autumn, so the sky may be as dark as it is dark. Hua Lang’s inspection team will first wait at the Longxu County Yamen, and wait for Deng Cuiyun’s body to be identified before doing other investigations.

Now that this is the case, Song Gongqing will naturally not have any objections, and he has long wanted to go back to the county government and ask Hualang for some autopsy methods.
