Su Wuzuo watched from the side and silently took notes. Because he was too focused, he happened to meet Song Que's eyes and quickly lowered his head.
Song Que said, "I'll bother Su Wu later."
Su Wuzuo quickly shook his head and said, "Young Master is joking."
He removed the linen covering the body, and Hu Er's body was exposed. It was summer, and five days had passed. In addition to the discoloration of Hu Er's body, there were also signs of corruption, which made Song Que's investigation more difficult.
This was the first time Gao Fenglin saw a corpse with his own eyes, and he couldn't bear it.
Song Que stepped forward without changing his expression and looked at the entire corpse from head to toe. Song Que also asked Su Wuzuo to lift the corpse and squat down to look at the back of the corpse.
"Brother Wutong, where was the body found and what was its posture when it was found?"
Gao Fenglin said: "The body was found in the woods near Zhang Mazi's home."
As for the posture, he was not sure, so he had to look at Wu Zuo, who was going to the scene with the official.
Su Wuzuo said quickly: "When the body was found, it was face up, with its hands hanging on the ground and its feet slightly apart."
Song Que asked: "Is the body's feet facing Zhang Mazi's house, or is its head facing Zhang Mazi's house?"
Su Wuzuo thought about it for a moment and said with some uncertainty: "It seems that his feet were facing Zhang Mazi's house."
Song Que asked Su Wuzuo to lift the body from his shoulders. The clothes were so dirty that the original color could not be seen. It could only be seen that the back was slightly worn. Song hesitated for a moment, but still didn't touch it directly. A work is a work, and an examiner is an examiner. He didn't intend to challenge everyone's nerves from the beginning, and said to Su Wuzuo: "Check the degree of wear and tear on the back of his clothes." .”
Su Wuzuo checked it and said: "This area is much more worn than other places, and it feels like there are scratches along the back."
Song Que nodded to Su Wuzuo, indicating that he could put the body down, and said to Gao Fenglin, "What does Hu Er do for a living?"
Gao Fenglin said: "He was just a second-rate guy. He didn't have a serious job. He spent all day in gambling houses. Now that he is dead, I think his wife also expected such a day."
Song Que was thoughtful and asked Su Wuzuo to check the wound on Hu Er's chest.
"Open your clothes."
Su Wu followed the instructions and Hu Er's chest was exposed. The wound in the middle was dark brown and seemed to be coagulated blood. The skin and flesh were not shrunk and the bones were not exposed.
Song Que said to Gao Fenglin: "This is an injury caused after death. The skin and flesh of the injury were shrunk and the bones were exposed during life. After death, the skin and flesh were neatly cut and there was no curling of the skin and flesh. The blood stains can be washed away. The knife is consistent with the stab wound on the chest. Did you find it at Zhang Mazi’s house?”
Gao Fenglin was a little surprised, but he was not familiar with autopsies, so he subconsciously looked at Su Wuzuo. Su Wuzuo is just an ordinary Wuzuo. It can be seen from the previous incidents that his ability is mediocre, so naturally he doesn't know this pattern.
Gao Fenglin pondered for a while and then said to the guard on the side: "Go get a basin of water."
It's not that he doesn't believe Song Que, it's just that for such an unheard-of thing, the more evidence, the better.
The officer quickly brought water, and Su Wuzuo stepped forward to clean the wound. He didn't use much strength, but the blood on the wound quickly faded, revealing the white flesh.
Song Que added: "Su Wuzuo, let's see if the injury was caused by a straight thrust or an inclined thrust."
Su Wu made an inspection and said: "It should be inserted straight in."
Song had people turn Hu Er's body over so that its back was facing up. Su Wuzuo checked the wound on the vest like a stab wound on the chest, and found that just as Song Que said, the skin of the stab wound on the vest was shrunk and the bones were exposed, which was very different from that on the chest. No matter how he wiped the wound, there were always blood traces in the skin. . Because of the angle of insertion mentioned by Song Que, Su Wuzuo did not let Song Que remind him again. He also checked the vest and found that the knife was inserted from top to bottom, which was very different from the chest.
Gao Fenglin watched the whole scene from the sidelines, with some vague ideas ready to come out in his mind, but he couldn't string them together into a complete thread. He was impatient again and asked quickly: "Does Zishuo have any ideas?"
Song Que nodded and said, "Hu Er's clothes are seriously worn on the back, but he doesn't do any related physical work. He spends all day in a gambling house. Under what circumstances would such a person wear out?" What about the clothes on the back? The place where the body was found was not the place where he was killed, but the place where the body was moved. The person who moved the body was Li Xiaowu. He dragged Hu Er's feet to move the body. Hu Er's back and head were It rubbed against the ground, leaving traces."
Gao Fenglin recalled several questions Song Que had asked, and quickly realized: "Is it because the direction is right? If Hu Er came out of Li Xiaowu's house and went to find Zhang Mazi again, and was killed in the argument, the body mover would If it’s Zhang Mazi, then Zhang Mazi will drag Hu Er’s feet out, and Hu Er’s head should be facing Zhang Mazi’s home.”
Song Que said: "This is not entirely the reason. After all, Su Wu is not sure about this matter and cannot be used as evidence for inference, but it is still good to provide a direction. Remember what I said about injuries before death and injuries after death? Is there a difference? The injury on the vest was a pre-mortem injury, which Li Xiaowu himself admitted was his counterattack when Hu Er beat him. The injury on the chest is consistent with Zhang Mazi's knife, but this The injury was caused by someone putting Hu Er on the ground after his death and stabbing him straight down with a knife. Zhang Mazi is a thug hired by the gambling house. He is responsible for collecting debts and teaching those who make trouble in the gambling house a lesson. I dare not do it again. At present, it seems that Zhang Mazi and Hu Er have no personal hatred. What reason does Zhang Mazi have to stab Hu Er in the chest after his death? If he really did it, he would not bite the bullet when he was found out. Putting aside the teeth, no matter how serious the crime of insulting a corpse is, it is not as serious as the crime of murder. Dragging the corpse to the vicinity of Zhang Mazi's house, and using Zhang Mazi's knives to make wounds on Hu Er's body, this kind of frame-up behavior is exactly what happened on the vest It was the hand of Li Xiaowu who made the stabbing. Zhang Mazi had a holiday with Hu Er that day, which was known to everyone in the street. Li Xiaowu set up a wonton stall on the street, so naturally Zhang Mazi also knew. Mazi was the only candidate he could think of in his panic."
Gao Fenglin said: "Does this mean that Li Xiaowu is the real murderer of Hu Er?"
Song Que shook his head and said, "Do you know the bail period?"
Gao Fenglin knew little about this term, but Su Wuzuo had been in this business for many years, so he was somewhat familiar with it. Standing beside him, he explained to Gao Fenglin in a low voice: "Anyone who assaults and injures someone, if the person who was beaten dies on the spot, the person who injures the person will naturally be charged with homicide." If the batterer does not die on the spot, it also depends on whether the battered person can survive a certain period of time. If not, the person who assaulted the person will still be responsible for homicide. This period is the bail period. "

Song nodded and said: "Su Wuzuo is right. Although the bail period is not completely reasonable, it shows one thing. Beating may cause delayed death. According to the testimony and various evidences, Hu Er is indeed dead." After Li Xiaowu's stabbing in the vest, whether it was the organ damage caused by the beating that caused death at that time or whether it was because of Li Xiaowu's stabbing is something that cannot be determined now."
Gao Fenglin had a headache. After going around in a circle, he came back to this issue. Who was the murderer, Li Xiaowu or Zhang Mazi
"Then what else can be done?"
Song Que said resolutely: "Autopsy the body. Zhang Mazi only admitted to beating, but it is impossible to admit that he beat the person to death. The same is true for Li Xiaowu. Only the corpse cannot lie. Only by cutting open and examining the condition of each organ can we know Who is the real murderer?"
Gao Fenglin was a little surprised, then hesitated: "This..."
Today's autopsy, unless it encounters a highly decomposed corpse or an ownerless corpse that has been burned beyond recognition, rarely talks about anatomy, and most of them just do some superficial examination of the corpse. After all, the body's hair and skin are protected by parents, and they should not be damaged at will. There is also a saying that the deceased is the most important, and the body must be complete before it can be put into the ground for peace.
But Song could completely understand Gao Fenglin's hesitation and said: "Seizing the real culprit is the greatest respect for the deceased. If you can't decide right away, we will check other things first. But don't delay for too long, the more the body will rot, the worse it will be." The higher it is, the less evidence we have."
Gao Fenglin sighed and asked, "What else can we check now?"
Song took him to Hu Er's body with his back turned upward and asked, "How tall is Li Xiaowu?"
Gao Fenglin recalled: "Similar to me."
Song Que said: "Hu Er and I are similar in height. Li Xiaowu's confession mentioned that Hu Er went to him to ask for money, but he really couldn't get the money, so Hu Er pushed him next to the stove and beat him. He felt He was about to be beaten to death by Hu Er. He struggled hard, grabbed a knife in a panic, and stabbed Hu Er in the back. Hu Er was frightened and ran out of his home. You and I will demonstrate."
Gao Fenglin glanced at the surrounding tables and refused a little: "This is Yizhuang."
Those tables were used to place corpses, and Gao Fenglin didn't want to lie down directly on them.
Song Que stepped forward to hold his back and said, "Fall down, I'm holding him."
Gao Fenglin had no choice but to bend back. Song Que lowered his body in cooperation. Gao Fenglin pretended to take a knife from the side and stabbed Song Que. The guards and Su Wuzuo next to him could see clearly that this stab should be done with one hand. The angle is straight down, with a slight deviation from bottom to top, because it is easy to exert force.
Song Que asked Gao Fenglin to try the angle of thrusting down, but Gao Fenglin felt a little uncomfortable.
After the two of them finished their demonstration, Su Wuzuo said, "Sir, I want to talk about the angle of the wound."
Song was very pleased and nodded: "That's right. Judging from the depth, height and angle of the wound, it cannot be caused by accidental injuries during the struggle as Li Xiaowu said. Li Xiaowu held the knife from behind with both hands. , penetrated Hu Er's heart fiercely. This was not an accidental injury during the dispute. He was indeed murderous. And why on the stove? If it was for money, why did Hu Er follow him into the kitchen? I guess, Li Xiaowu told him to give him a bowl of wontons, so Hu Er followed him into the kitchen, and let’s go find out what the relationship between them is."
