Zhuang Zhong focused all his attention on the bones, not knowing that the others were choked to death by Feng Huan's words.
The skull was carefully washed with clean water and dried, and the sutures were inspected with the naked eye for no cracks and bone fractures. Solemn opened the red umbrella that he brought. This is the simplest way to filter other natural light. Using ultraviolet light to inspect the bones is more convenient to check whether there are blood spots on the bones. If there are blood spots, it is an injury during his lifetime. There is actually an ultraviolet lamp in the solemn investigation box, but it is inconvenient to take it out at this time, so Song Ci's method can only be used.
Zhuang Zhong frowned slightly, without a brown reaction, and died not because of an external force. Listening to Wu's words, Zhuang Zhong thought that if he killed someone else, he would probably make a fuss about it. The body is too exposed, but the hair on the head is very easy to cover up, and the autopsy here is probably not so careful, so it will be missed, such as the famous nail-head case in history.
Zhuang Zhong also asked Mrs. Wu if she checked the condition under her hair before, and Mrs. Wu also said that she hadn't touched it, but now it doesn't seem to be the case. Zhuang Zhong continued to check, even the toes were not spared, and there were no fractures or blood spots.
Zhuang Zhong arranged the bones, and Wu asked anxiously: "What conclusion?"
"It can only be concluded that the death was not caused by external force."
Mrs. Wu sighed, seeing that Zhuang Zhong just checked so carefully and found nothing, she resigned herself to her fate, "Forget it, I didn't see anything at the time, so what if three years have passed. I have tried it, but I haven't found out what's going on. It's also God's will, I guess even if there is any hidden love, my husband won't blame me too much."
Seriously, "It's not time to draw conclusions, I just did the first inspection. Human life is at stake, and an autopsy is not a short-term work. We need to check all possibilities before we can draw a conclusion." It's just the beginning now, don't worry, Auntie."
Seeing this, Wu's heart felt hopeful again. Although there was no evidence, she firmly believed that Wang Fu was killed by someone. It's just that she couldn't test it out. Since Zhuang Zhong said so, she will hold on to the end.
That Zuo Zuo's original intention of contempt was to see the solemnity and ease of doing things, but also turned to a humble attitude. A layman watches the excitement, an insider looks at the doorway, Wu Zuo has been in this business for more than twenty years, and he can tell at a glance that this young man is not an ordinary person, he is indeed capable in autopsy, no wonder King Si Zhao pushed him out.
Originally, Wu Zuo believed that he died of illness. Seeing this atmosphere, he became more cautious. At this time, he also said: "It is either an external injury or a possible death from poisoning. Why don't you try it with silver needles?"
Solemnly waved his hand, "There are many poisons that cannot be detected by silver needles, and all decayed corpses will produce a kind of poison, which will turn black once it comes into contact with silver needles, so the blackness of silver needles has nothing to do with whether the deceased died of poisoning or not." There is no direct relationship, this kind of test method cannot be counted."
Fu Yin couldn't help interjecting, "The silver needle still has undetectable poison?"
"Yes, because arsenic is non-toxic and tasteless, most folk poisons are arsenic, and arsenic can be detected by silver needles, which is a misinformation that silver needles can test all kinds of poisons. This is not the case. If you don't believe it, you can use acacia seeds to grind it into powder Test it with a silver needle, and then feed it to the chickens, and you will know the result."
Acacia is the red bean, which is highly poisonous. Not only is the poison violent, but the poisoned person will also die of internal organs festering.
Seeing that the solemn words were clear, everyone believed them even though they hadn't tested them.
Wu Zuo then asked: "If the silver needle can't detect whether it is poisoned, how can you tell it? You said just now that corrupted bones can turn the silver needle black. Wouldn't it be possible for someone to die after being poisoned by arsenic? Is it a proof?"
In Dayou, silver needles were used to verify whether poisoning was inflicted, but Zhuang Zhong denied it, and gave detailed examples.
It is also a difficult problem for Zhuangzhuang, who is used to relying on various modern instruments, to detect whether he is poisoned. However, if he wants to detect whether the poison in the poison contains arsenic, it is not impossible.
Zhuang Zhong looked around and turned to Fu Yin, "My lord, can I borrow the saber of your servant?"
Before Fu Yin could respond, he threw a knife over. Fortunately, Zhuang Zhong reacted quickly and caught it in a hurry. Fortunately, it was thrown over with the scabbard attached, otherwise it would have to be cut.
The corners of Zhuang Zhuang's mouth twitched, this knife was thrown by Feng Huan, the scabbard handle is not ordinary, and the gems on it can be sold for a lot of money! This knife is a must-have for home and travel. It can cut bad people and can be exchanged for two money when you are in a pinch.
"My lord, your knife..."
Feng Huan interrupted impatiently, "It's long-winded, work quickly!"
Zhuang Zhong changed the subject, "I want to say that only one hand is not enough."
Feng Huan glanced at him, snatched the knife from Hou Shu's body and threw it to Zhuang Zhong. Zhuang Zong thanked Mrs. Wu in trepidation and asked, "Auntie, I want to cut Uncle Wang's hair, can I?"
Wu was stunned for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
Zhuang Zhong cut off a bunch of Wang Fu's hair, put the two on one of the knives and put it on the fire to bake. However, due to King Sizhao's despotic power, he could only curse secretly and had no other choice.
When the hair started to smoke, Zhuang Zhong placed another knife on it. The two knives were very heavy, weighing at least forty to fifty catties in total. Zhuang Zhong began to tremble with his hands holding it like this, and he gritted his teeth and stood upright. If it wasn't for proving that he had no hands or feet, why would he be so sad!
At this time, his hands were empty, Zhuang Zhuang raised his head and saw that it was Feng Huan who carried it for him.
"Why are you in a daze, continue." Feng Huan said in a bad tone.
Zhuang Zhong was very grateful in his heart, the others didn't know what he was doing, so they just looked at him blankly, this Feng Huan was really careful.
After waiting for a long time, the other knife did not respond. He shook his head solemnly and said, "Wang Fu was never poisoned by arsenic before his death."
The man whose neck stretched out longer than a goose couldn't bear it long ago, "May I ask why you just made one move?"
"If a person is poisoned by arsenic, the liver and kidneys have the highest poisonous content in the first few hours, the other parts are lower, and the bones and muscles are also lower. However, because they account for a relatively large amount of the body, there are generally more If you just died, you can use the liver to test. But now only the bones are left. Because the poison can accumulate in the hair and nails for a long time, you can use the hair and nails to test whether it is poisonous. In this way, there is no need to damage the bones of the deceased. That way, if poisoned, a layer of hoarfrost will appear on the surface of the knife, and that layer of hoarfrost is the residue of arsenic." Zhuang Zhong tried to explain in a language that everyone could understand, and the specific principle could only be hidden.
This test method was discovered in 1790 by a chemist named John Mesger, but it can only prove that the substance has been soaked in arsenic, but it cannot tell whether the body has absorbed arsenic. If you want to distinguish whether the body absorbs arsenic, you have to use nitric acid.
In fact, Zhuang Zhong didn't think Wang Fu had been poisoned by arsenic from the appearance of the bones, but for the sake of caution, and wanted to take this opportunity to teach the method to his work, he would give it a try. Zhuang Zhong has always been happy to guide newcomers or those who are not familiar with the business but are willing to listen to advice. He hopes that his meager efforts can make the world less injustices.
Seeing that Zhuang Zhong was so talkative, Wu Zuo became more courageous, and then asked: "Why is this? How did the young master know?"
Solemnly join hands with Amitabha, "The Buddha's Dharma is boundless, and it is the Buddha who understands it."
It's not that he doesn't want to explain, it's that he can't explain! Speaking of this, we have to start teaching basic chemistry, and there is not so much free time in this meeting. Besides, I don't know the details of these people, such advanced knowledge should not be passed on lightly, lest troubles be caused.
After Wu Zuo heard this, he didn't dare to ask any more questions.
"It wasn't poisoning, it wasn't his injury. Besides dying from illness, is there any other way to die?" Fu Yin asked.
Wu Zuo interjected, "You can also suffocate and drown."
Zhuang nodded, "If you suffocate to death, the signs of the corpse are obvious. Aunt, when you saw Uncle Wang's corpse, did you have eyes open and a dark complexion?"
The final appearance of Wang Fu was deeply imprinted in Wu's mind, and she immediately denied it, "It was yellowish and white, with no marks on the face or body, and no swelling."
"I heard that the possibility of smothering to death is not very high. At that time, there was an inspection by an expert, so there should be no mistakes. Now there are only bones left, and it is not easy to check for suffocation. Let's start with drowning." Zhuang Zhuang had a guess in his heart. I have been procrastinating until now, thinking about not using that method as much as possible, because it is not very accurate.
Wu Zuo was puzzled, "Drowning? What if there are only bones left?"
Drowning needs to be identified through the diatoms in the bones, and a lot of useful information can be obtained through the diatoms. But there is no microscope in the solemn inspection box, so we can only use the method recorded in Song Ci's "Winning Injustice Records", which is difficult for Dayou people to identify.
Zhuang Zhong didn't answer, but said: "Please wait a moment for me to boil a clean pot of hot water."
As soon as these words fell, everyone was speechless.
Waiting time is the most impatient, and after watching the excitement, I still come to wait for the next chapter to break down, and I can't help but yell, "I still miss drinking hot tea at this juncture, and just pour a bowl of herbal tea to quench my thirst. What are you doing, mother-in-law?"
Serious and playful, "It's not that I want to drink water, but Uncle Wang wants to drink."
Zhuang Zhong wore a white mask, although it covered most of his face, leaving only a pair of sparkling eyes, but there was a smile in his brows and eyes, but he said such strange words. Even though it was a scorching summer day, the gloomy scene scared people into a cold sweat.
Feng Huan raised his eyebrows, but with an admiration on his face, he kicked Hou with his foot, "Go, get some hot water."
Hou Shu staggered a few steps, clutched his buttocks and grinned, grinning and complaining, "I don't want to bully people like this! Anyway, I am also the son of the dignified left servant of the Ministry of Industry! Why do I become a coolie here."
Feng Huan glanced coldly, Hou Shu immediately disappeared without a trace, and when he reappeared, there was already a pot of boiling hot water. The speed is astonishing.
"But it's clean?" Zhuang Zhong opened the lid of the pot and looked.
Hou Shu was not happy to hear this, "Master, can the water I found be unclean? Even if the official comes, I can make him tea! Ouch—"
Hou Shu was swept across the forehead by Feng Huan's horsewhip, and he was furious, "I told you not to hit your head!"
Hou Shu was bluffing, but no one paid any attention to him, including the elders of the Wang clan, who focused their attention on the solemn movements. After going through this today, all the taboos have been broken, even if I don't like it anymore, I can't, who let this person have someone above him. Instead of being bored here, it's better to just watch the excitement and see how Wang Fu died. Although this young man looked young, even King Si Zhao trusted him, he was definitely not an idle person, and they all felt that solemnity could see something from this skeleton.
Zhuang Zhong put the head in the basin, opened the lid of the pot and took a look at the hot water, there was no impurities, then poured it in from the forehead acupoint, as the hot water entered little by little, countless ashes flowed out of the nostrils.
Zhuang Zhong narrowed his eyes, stepped forward to examine the dregs carefully, and said coldly: "Wang Fu was killed!"
