Concubine

Chapter 14 Autopsy
Autopsy must first determine whether the deceased committed suicide, homicide or accidental death, which is the key to determining whether it is a criminal offense.There are no ropes around Bai Xiaomei's neck, and there is no support to fix her arms. Her arms are tied, and her throat is broken. Judging from the marks formed by the subcutaneous hemorrhages on her neck, it is difficult for her hands to form. Suicide is to pinch one's own neck with both hands. When the deceased gradually falls into a coma due to lack of oxygen, the hands pinching the neck will relax unconsciously, so the suicide process cannot be completed. Therefore, this method is used to commit suicide It is almost impossible, judging from all these situations, Bai Xiaomei's injury could not be formed by herself, it was a homicide.

Of course, to find out the cause of death more accurately, the best way is to conduct an autopsy, but Yang Qiuchi already knew when he was studying the history of forensic medicine that in ancient times, it was not particularly necessary, and after strict approval, it was not allowed in principle. An autopsy was performed.

Yang Qiuchi grabbed the arm of Bai Xiaomei's dead body, made a few bending movements, and found that rigor rigor had begun to form.Under normal circumstances, the corpse will harden within 30 minutes to 2 hours after death, completely stiffen from 9 hours to 12 hours, soften after 30 hours, and return to its original shape after 70 hours.

Yang Qiuchi turned the corpse over, and saw that light purple-red spots had begun to appear on the back, buttocks, and back of the thighs, like red wine at the bottom of a bottle. Deposits form in the lower parts of the body under the influence ofAccording to the distribution of corpse spots in flakes and most of the rigor mortis has appeared, referring to the approximate temperature and humidity of the air, Yang Qiuchi judged that the deceased died for about three to four hours.

Carefully observe that the corpse spots are located in the lower parts of the body such as the back, buttocks, and back of the thighs.This should be the first scene of rape and murder.Be aware that if spots appear on the front or sides of the body, it usually indicates that the body has been moved.

After Yang Qiuchi inspected Bai Xiaomei's body, he was about to examine Bai Sumei's body on the ground, when Yin De leaned up to him and asked softly, "Brother, did you find any clues? Can you find the murderer?"

Yang Qiuchi didn't speak, but nodded politely. Before the case is solved, the autopsy is top secret. Once it is leaked, it will cause immeasurable losses to solve the case.Therefore, he did not answer Yin De's question.

Song Zhixian was also a little impatient, standing outside the door, and asked from a distance: "Yang, Yang Yuzuo, Fa, did you find anything? Yes, can you catch the murderer?"

To catch the murderer?It's a joke, the horoscope has not been written yet, who will be arrested?Yang Qiuchi looked at Song Zhixian with a goatee and smiled wryly.

At this time, two women's voices came faintly from outside: "Son! My son! You are still alive! Where are you?" The voice was old, like an old woman. "Husband! Husband!" The voice was delicate and sounded like that of a young woman.

While Yang Qiuchi was wondering, the long follower who had gone out just now had already stepped into the door, and bowed to Song Zhixian, "My lord, the corpse has been brought." When my wife and I heard that Yang Kuozuo was back, we insisted on coming to see each other. We were quickly arrested and stopped at the door by the minzhuang.” Then he handed several forms to Yang Qiuchi.

My mother and wife are here?Yang Qiuchi's heart skipped a beat, and he took the forms with both hands, but his eyes were looking out.When I came to the Ming Dynasty, not to mention an extra old mother, I even picked a wife for nothing. What a bargain!Wife of the Ming Dynasty, rely on me!Cool!

Yang Qiuchi was about to go out when he saw the magistrate Song with a goatee standing there with a sullen face at the door, not intending to give way, so he said, "My lord, please allow me to visit my old mother and wife." The most important thing is my wife , Yang Qiuchi was eager to know what this little girl in the Ming Dynasty looked like. Hearing that the voice was delicate and soft, she must be sure to be right, and couldn't help but feel a burst of enthusiasm.

Song Zhixian shook his head: "First, put the big things first, you, after you finish the inspection, then meet him, they will meet soon!"

This is also true, it should be public first and then private.Yang Qiuchi cupped his fists at the long follower: "Thank you, big brother, please inform my mother and wife that I will meet them as soon as I finish my official business."After Song Zhixian nodded, he agreed, "Okay, I'll tell them right away." Then he turned and went out.After a while, the two women's calls disappeared.

Yang Qiuchi put the corpse on the table, and the Yin family's slaves had already prepared pens and ink, and put them on the round table in the room. Yang Qiuchi sat down, holding a brush, and began to fill in the items according to the above requirements.

Although the cadaver form is a form, the contents cannot be separated from the on-site investigation and autopsy report. These are all fine, but the brush calligraphy gave Yang Qiuchi a headache. Fortunately, he practiced brush calligraphy for a while in elementary school. The writing is ugly, and I can still recognize it. Anyway, this little disobedient who resurrected the dead is not a great literati, and his writing is no better than his own.But he didn't write a few words, and a sarcastic question next to him asked, "What did the little brother write?"

"Chinese characters!" Yang Qiuchi glanced back, and saw a middle-aged man standing behind him, tall and thin, with a sneer on his face, it was the master who was muttering with Song Zhixian just now.He asked, "Who are you?"

"My surname is Jin, and I am a famous criminal master of the county government. I was entrusted by the magistrate of the county to preside over the investigation of homicide cases. Why don't you even understand this?" Master Jin waved his folding fan, looked up at the sky, and sneered triumphantly .

This famous criminal master belongs to one of the long-term attendants hired by the county magistrate himself in the Ming Dynasty. Among the prefectural and county-level government offices of the Ming Dynasty, the "civil servants" who are the financial burden of the state are mainly county magistrates, county magistrates, and bosses. In addition, there are a certain number of clerks, that is, "officials", but this kind of establishment is very small, and once it is established, it is almost impossible to expand it.However, it is impossible to complete various local government affairs such as heavy tax collection and errands with these limited manpower. Therefore, the law allows officials to hire manpower at their own expense.

Among the people hired, the main category is the long-term follower. Some of these people were brought by the masters of the prefecture and county from their hometowns, and some were full-time masters who were familiar with the local conditions.There are many types of long-term followers, the most important of which are the long-term followers of criminal names who assist the master in handling cases, and the long-term followers of Qiangu who are in charge of financial revenue.In addition, there are chief seal chiefs who are responsible for keeping and using the great seal of the county magistrate, chief supervisors who are in charge of prisons (actually detention centers), chief gate guards, and monitors who are responsible for liaison and reception. etc.

There is another category of officials who are funded and hired, namely the six scribes of officials, householders, rites, soldiers, criminals, and workers.Among the six clerks, only a few are civil servants who belong to the state establishment and are paid "service salary" by the state finance.But these people are far from enough, and a large number of people must be hired to complete the various administrative and judicial tasks in a state and county.These people hired are called "Tie Shu", "Tie Write", "Bang Shi" and other names, collectively referred to as "non-economic system officials".There are also many people who, in order to avoid government servants, paid money to buy the name of a scribe on the "mao book" (roll list) of the yamen clerk, which is called "named scribe".

This criminal master is at the forefront of the long-term follower, which is equivalent to the current captain of the criminal police team and the captain of the security brigade. It's no wonder he's so arrogant.

Yang Qiuchi didn't understand what this famous criminal master was, but when he heard that he was in charge of murder investigation in front of the magistrate of the gate county, he stood up and clasped his fists: "I've seen Master Jin!"
