About the fact that the heir of Huajian School is a girl

Never let anyone take advantage!

Li Qingcha: “…”

She nodded to the left king's guards.

"Go, help check the gentlemen in the south and north rooms to see if there are any missing."

The guard looked at Li Hulun.

Unexpectedly, the demon king spoke first.

"Marquis Wu Ding will assist in solving this case. If he has any instructions, you can just do it. There is no need to ask for instructions."

The guards lowered their heads.

"promise."

Then he left in a hurry.

Unable to just sit there and wait, Li Qingcha decided to take the opportunity to see the corpse.

She nodded the light on her waist.

The scabbard flew out, like a wooden stick controlled by an invisible hand, and turned the corpse at an angle of about seventy degrees.

tsk...

The people present were shocked and couldn't bear to watch it anymore.

This corpse looks so much like a ghost.

Li Qingcha said, "Is there anything spicy... um... some onions, ginger, garlic, etc., put them in your mouth to get rid of the corpse gas, otherwise you will vomit after staying for an incense stick of time."

How can the demon race have this?

The Right King asked, "Would wine be okay?"

"Then the vomiting will definitely be more severe."

"..."

Yujun next to him said, "I have been making human delicacies. I have some seasonings. Wait a moment."

After saying that, he ran away at high speed.

When he came back, he brought a dozen small spice packets, wrapped in gauze on the outside and filled with onions, ginger and garlic, which he distributed to everyone.

Li Qingcha used the scabbard as a ruler and began to measure the corpse.

"Yeah, five feet one inch."

The Right King said, "This height is considered short in the Holy Kingdom, and even among fox totems it is rare. Should we tell the guards about this so that they can use this as a screening measure when conducting a check?"

"No need. Since we are investigating a case, we cannot let go of any clues."

"makes sense."

The Right King always felt that Li Qingcha seemed absent-minded when he spoke, as if he was observing other people at the scene.

Could it be that this person can judge something from the height?

It doesn't make sense...

White silk is not allowed to ride on my sister.

Yujun said: "I feel like the height measurement is a little inaccurate. Look at the body, it's slightly curled up, with a hunched back. It looks like he was tied up and burned to death."

Li Qingcha smiled.

"Do you think it was a trial similar to burning at the stake?"

"Burning at the stake?"

"Well... just burn to death."

Yujun looked at the corpse and nodded silently.

I really can't think of any other possibility.

Li Qingcha fell into deep thought, with some thoughts in mind, but he did not give his own judgment on the spot.

Just then, the guards of the Left King came back.

He looked around, ready to whisper the result to the left king, who would then decide whether to make it public.

did not expect,

"Just say it out loud."

Li Qingcha said.

The guard had no choice but to say, "There are a total of forty accountants in the South and North rooms, all of whom are members of the Fox Totem tribe. One of them is missing, his name is Su Buman."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a commotion outside.

Someone shouted, "Impossible!"

Li Qingcha's eyes flashed, and he looked at the person who was shouting, and asked, "Why? Do you know that this person is not Su Buman?"

The man did not panic, but said calmly: "Su Buman is definitely not that short!"

"But……"

"Marquis Wu Ding, I didn't lie to you! This man is curled up, even if he stretched out, he is still two heads shorter than Su Buman."

Everyone thought it made sense.

There were whispers everywhere.

"Could it be that Su Buman is the murderer?"

"You mean, Su Buman fled because he was afraid of the crime?"

"Then the identity of the deceased is difficult to determine~"

……

Li Qingcha swept his eyes across the group of people, occasionally pausing, but quickly moving away and continuing to patrol back and forth in the crowd.

Yujun was close by and instinctively thought that Li Qingcha was looking for a suspect.

But what can you tell from height alone?

She really couldn't understand.

Li Hulun couldn't help scratching his head.

"Li Qingcha, what should we do now? The population of the royal court is not as large as that of the human capital, but it is not small either. Searching for the identity of the deceased without a scope is like looking for a needle in a haystack. The hundred or so personal soldiers around me are definitely not enough."

Li Qingcha smiled.

"No need, the deceased should be Su Buman."

"Huh? How do you explain the height thing?"

"Let me first explain why he curled up. If you can understand this, you will naturally understand why his height shrunk."

Everyone immediately listened attentively.

Li Qingcha pondered for a moment and said, "When roasting a whole lamb, why do we have to stretch the lamb's limbs and tie it to the grill? Or hang it upside down in the oven, keeping it as close to the oven wall as possible?"

A word to wake up the dreamer.

Many nomads eat roasted lamb, so they naturally know the reason.

The demon king said, "Roasting will make the sheep curl up."

Li Qingcha said "hmm".

"In the criminal law classics, there is a chapter called 'Death by Fire', which clearly states, 'If a person dies by fire, his flesh will be burnt black or curled up, his hands will be clenched into fists, his arms will be bent in front of his chest, his knees will be bent, his mouth and eyes will be open, his teeth and lips may be bitten, or there will be yellow fat protruding from his skin'."

Due to being roasted at high temperatures for a long time, the charred corpses have tissue fluid oozing out, tissue necrosis and carbonization, which reduces their weight and shortens their length.

This is the reason for the reduction in height.

Yujun asked, "So Su Buman was burned to death?"

Chapter 586: Just marry a man like this...

Nothing in prison is more serious than the death penalty, nothing in the death penalty is more serious than the initial investigation, and nothing in the initial investigation is more important than the examination.

——"Xiyuan Jilu"

Hundreds of years have passed, and these words still shine.

When faced with a murder case, there are two things you should do first:

1. Determine the identity of the deceased;

2. Find out the cause of death.

It is now known that the deceased was named Su Buman, the accountant of the Beidangfang.

Then it’s time to move on to the second step.

Li Qingcha said: "I don't think he was burned alive, but his body was burned after death to destroy the evidence. Perhaps the murderer wanted to burn the accounts anyway, so why not just do it two-in-one."

As she spoke, she pointed to the corpse.

"Look at his chest, there is an obvious wound."

Yujun shook her head.

"You just said that, when a person's body is burned, it will curl up unconsciously, and I think the muscles will have various degrees of cracks."

"Ah this..."

"Um...sorry."

The fox girl couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed and cursed herself for being so outspoken.

Li Qingcha looked at the charred wound and was a little speechless.

In fact, the wounds cut by knives are smooth, but the wounds cut by fire are completely different. They are often jagged, and the cross-section from top to bottom is like lightning splitting the clouds, which is extremely irregular.

But she couldn't use this as evidence because it wasn't mentioned in the criminal law books, and she couldn't say things like "this is just based on experience."

Yujun on the side tried to make amends.

"Since there is an article called 'Death by Fire', there should be corresponding explanations for death by burning and cremation of corpses after death, right?"

Li Qingcha coughed lightly.

"Well, yes, but..."

"Tell us what you want, and we will definitely cooperate."

"..."

Yujun acted very anxious.

On the other side, the Right King shook his head, thinking that this girl's elbow was bent outwards and almost broken. If outsiders saw it, it would be strange if they didn't gossip.

Ugh……

Please help Li Qingcha.

He stepped forward and said, "Marquis Wu Ding, if you have any ideas, please feel free to ask."

Li Qingcha actually didn't want to follow the method in "Xi Yuan Ji Lu" because it was too unstable. Using it might not only yield no results but also ruin the scene.

But she thought that she could use a small test to find the way, so she didn't refuse.

She said: "The classics say, 'If someone was killed by a blade but died by fire, the coroner should pick up the bones, fan away the dust on the ground, and pour strong rice vinegar or wine on the clean ground under the body. If the person was killed, blood will flow into the ground and it will be bright red.'"

There is actually another sentence behind this:

"We must first ask where the corpse slept before death. I am afraid that if the body is moved to another place after the death, it will be difficult to examine the body to determine the blood color."

In other words, this trick won’t work if the body has been moved after death, so the primary crime scene must be identified first.

Li Qingcha deliberately didn't say it clearly.

King Zuo waved his hand and ordered the guards: "Why don't you get ready!?"

The guards walked away quickly.
