Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 139 Anatomy
The housekeeper shook his head and said: "Of course they have to be tied up. These three dogs are hounds bought by the master from outside the Great Wall. They have a ferocious temperament and will bite anyone they see. They are usually kept in the kennel. This morning, I got up and fed them. The dog, but found that the dog is no longer in the kennel, hurriedly asked everyone to look for it, and finally found that they all died here."

Li Canghai nodded, and then asked, "Before you caught the little beggar, did you ever hear a dog barking?"

The housekeeper and several servants looked at each other, then shook their heads: "Since I woke up in the morning, I haven't heard a dog barking."

"In this case, these dogs were not poisoned to death by little beggars." Li Canghai said relieved.

The butler was stunned, with anger welling up on his face, he said fiercely: "Who is it if it's not a little beggar? We saw him run out of the garden with our own eyes. Could it be fake?"

Li Canghai didn't argue with him, but looked at them and asked, "Which one of you can pass in front of these three dogs without making a sound?"

Everyone shook their heads one after another, passing in front of the three dogs without a sound, this was simply impossible.

"A dog's hearing is much more sensitive than a human's. Even a hundred meters away, they can hear the sound of a needle falling to the ground. What's more, dogs have a strong sense of breath. If a stranger enters the range of perception, it will definitely cause the dog to bark. You also said that since this morning, you haven't heard the sound of dogs barking, do you think that little beggars can poison them to death silently?" Li Canghai asked the crowd.

Hearing what he said, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. They knew well the abilities of these dogs, and even wild wolves were no match for them.

To say that a little beggar quietly poisoned several dogs to death is indeed a little unreasonable.

After all, even if you want to poison, you have to go to the three vicious dogs anyway, and if this is the case, the three vicious dogs can't be unaware.

The three vicious dogs only listened to Wang Buquan alone, and even the housekeeper who was in charge of feeding them sometimes bit them.

No matter how you think about it, it seems impossible.

"In my opinion, these dogs died before the little beggar came in. It's just that he happened to be here, so you think it was him who poisoned you." Li Canghai pondered.

"If the little beggar didn't poison them, how could they die?" The housekeeper couldn't figure out who else would poison them besides the little beggar.

Li Canghai kicked the dog's corpse with his toe, thinking, if it can poison such a large dog to death, the poison must not be weak.

But who would specifically poison a few dogs?
While he was wondering, Li Canghai suddenly found that a piece of meat fell out of the dog's mouth.

"This dog...how can there be meat in its mouth?" The housekeeper obviously saw the scene before him, and couldn't help but wonder.

Li Canghai squatted down, looked at the piece of meat, and muttered, "This is not meat, it's tongue, a dog's tongue!"

"What? Dog... dog tongue?" The butler was stunned for a moment.

Li Canghai took out tweezers from the cloth bag, picked up the piece of meat, and said to himself, "Strange, why does this dog's tongue look rotten?"

Everyone looked at the half-rotten tongue, and felt a sudden upheaval in their stomachs.

Li Canghai stared at the dog's tongue, and then put it on the ground. He carefully opened the dog's mouth with tweezers, but he didn't expect that with a little force, the dog's nose fell off.

"Damn, why does this dog have such a long nose, why does it fall off when you touch it?"

Li Canghai muttered subconsciously, but soon he discovered the problem.

He fiddled around the dog's mouth with tweezers, and most of the flesh around the dog's mouth fell off in an instant!
In a short time, most of the dog's head was exposed, and the bloody dog's head was full of rotten meat.

The housekeeper really couldn't stand this scene, he ran aside and vomited desperately.

Li Canghai's face was serious, he hurriedly walked to the other two dogs, and poked the dogs' mouths with tweezers, just like the previous dog, half of the dog's head lost a large piece of flesh.

"This dog died in just a few hours. How could it rot so quickly? Judging from the degree of rot, the dog's mouth is the most serious. Could it be that the poison is still highly corrosive? What did they eat? How the hell did it corrode like this?" Li Canghai suddenly felt that this was not easy, and he was afraid that something might be wrong.

The only way to know what a dog ate is to dissect it.

I told the housekeeper about the idea of ​​dissection, and the housekeeper also wanted to find out the cause of death of the dogs earlier, so he nodded repeatedly and let him figure it out.

Li Canghai asked the housekeeper to prepare a set of tools for the autopsy, and then started the autopsy on the spot.

When he was studying criminal investigation in his previous life, he had been an auditor in the forensic medicine class next door, so he was no stranger to dissection.

The knowledge of autopsy is not something that ordinary people can do. Not only must they be bold and careful, but also have a deep understanding of the structure of the human body.

Li Canghai's level of half a bottle of vinegar, although dissecting a human corpse is not good, but he is still a little confident in dissecting a dog.

Dogs have a different body structure than humans, and it took him a while to find where the dog's stomach was.

Using a postmortem knife to cut open the stomach, Li Canghai carefully observed the dog's stomach.

But after watching for a long time, there was nothing but the mucus in the dog's stomach.

"Could it be that everything you eat has been digested?"

Li Canghai did not give up, he took out all three dog stomachs, and then carefully looked at them several times.

He didn't find anything until his eyes hurt from looking at it.

"Damn, if only there was a microscope at this time."

Li Canghai cursed inwardly with some discouragement, and thought to himself, as expected, he is specialized in surgery, and his level of half a bottle thick is far worse than that of forensic doctors by more than a few blocks.

When mentioning the microscope, Li Canghai suddenly remembered a transparent gemstone he got from Zuo Hongji.

That piece of gemstone is transparent and about the size of a fist, and it seems to be used as a magnifying glass.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly took out the gemstone from the cloth bag. The gemstone has a raised center and a concave edge, which is an excellent material for making a magnifying glass.

Although the gemstone is not yet formed from the magnifying glass, the magnifying effect has already appeared.

Holding the gemstone in one hand, he searched the dog's stomach again.

This time there was a magnified gemstone, and he didn't find it as difficult as before. After a while, he found some minced meat under the mucous layer of the dog's stomach wall.

He asked the housekeeper to find a piece of white paper, spread it on the floor, and then cleaned out the contents of the dog's stomach little by little.

After a while, some pieces of minced meat covered with mud appeared on the white paper.

Those pieces of meat were melted by stomach acid, and they were wrapped into a ball, the largest one was the size of a fingernail, but they were not completely digested.

"What is this?" the butler desperately resisted the urge to vomit, and stretched his neck and asked.
