"The deceased was a female, about five feet two inches in length."
"Because the head is missing, the identity cannot be determined for the time being."
The atmosphere in the side hall suddenly changed, and Huo Huaixin couldn't help but said, "What's the meaning of Miss Jiu's words? Although I haven't found his head yet, this person is wearing a wedding dress and followed the wedding procession all the way, so there is no doubt that it is Song Rou. "
"Master Zhifu is preconceived."
Qin Wan retorted calmly, then leaned down.
Huo Huaixin wanted to say more, but he was suddenly intimidated by Qin Wan's seriousness and focus. He had lived half his life, and in front of Qin Wan at this moment, he was a little apprehensive for no reason.
The side hall suddenly became quiet, and Qin Wan's eyes seemed to be real, scanning the corpse wrapped in the wedding dress little by little.
"If you can't do an autopsy, you can only examine the cadaver form. If you feel unwell, you can withdraw."
Qin Wan's voice was extremely calm, and when people listened to her, they felt that her voice was also tinged with Hanyue's coldness.
After the words were settled, no one moved. Huo Huaixin stared at Huo Ning, but Huo Ning stood in the direction of the door with his neck stuck, not going out at all. Huo Huaixin sighed, and turned his gaze to Qin Wan's autopsy.
Qin Wan didn't take off his clothes immediately, but first observed carefully, "Did Xu Wuzuo move the clothes of the corpse?"
Xu He hurried forward, "It's been moved, it's just... It's just that the magistrate told me not to damage Miss Song's remains, so I didn't take it off completely. I only inspected Miss Song's shoulders and legs for scars. And tidy up according to the original." He paused slightly, "The body has been inspected after it was delivered the first day, and there is no obvious injury."
Qin Wan didn't listen to Xu He's inspection results, she nodded lightly, and then said in a concentrated voice, "The deceased's wedding dress is neat, except for the light blood on the neckline, there is no blood anywhere else."
When the words settled down, Yan Chi had already written down her words.
Qin Wan suddenly looked at Huo Huaixin again, "Have you checked Miss Song's wedding sedan chair?"
Huo Huaixin nodded hastily, "I've checked it. The wedding sedan chair is a serious eight-carrying sedan chair without any traps. No matter whether it's the blanket on the ground or the curtains and window lattices around it, there is no blood stain. It's very strange."
Qin Wan frowned, and her eyes darkened. She looked at the broken neck of the corpse, and then covered it with her hands without hesitation, and carefully cleaned off the maggots. After a while, Qin Wan began to undress.
Although it was a female corpse, it had already been six days. Even though it was placed in an ice basin, Qin Wan's corpse was already swollen and putrefied. The eight-year-old woman's body has turned into a swollen carrion covered in purple and green plaques, which is really unbearable to look at.
"The rigor disappears, and the spots are all over the body. They turn dark purple and don't fade when pressed. The corpse has initially decayed, and the lower abdomen is obviously swollen. There are green spots of corruption on the private parts of the lower abdomen and the buttocks of the legs. There are no obvious wounds on the body surface. The only cause of death The injury was a broken neck."
As Qin Wan said, he took out Hanyue and flicked away the blood scab on the broken neck of the corpse.
"The wound on the neck of the corpse is flat, and the spine is cut neatly. It should be fatal with one blow."
The wound has begun to rot and fester. Although Qin Wan is wearing gloves, she is a pretty girl, but she is calmly playing with the stinking carrion with maggots. Reflecting the lights lit in the house, a solemn and sacred halo shrouded his body for no reason.
"The time of death should have been six days ago. There is an ice basin in the house, and the rate of decay of the corpse has slowed down. In addition, an autopsy is not available, so a more accurate judgment cannot be made."
Qin Wan's word by word, the emotionless words are unreasonably creepy in this weird shabby room, Huo Ning stood aside, the more he watched Qin Wan's autopsy, the more he felt that she was getting farther and farther away from him. Right now, he knew that he was wrong in suspicion, contemptuous, wrong, and he felt resentful, bitter, humiliating, disappointed, ashamed, miscellaneous, people actually looked demented.
"There was no obvious scar on the neck of the deceased. However, due to the missing head, there may be other injuries that we have yet to verify. However, it can be preliminarily concluded that the deceased was beheaded while he was still alive."
These words shocked everyone, Qin Wan pointed to the rotten broken neck and said, "The color of the blood scab is extremely dark, and the texture of the dead neck's severed neck is extremely contracted, and the blood has penetrated deeply into the spine and neck of the deceased." Between the trachea, if it was cut off after death, the blood penetration would not be so obvious."
What Qin Wan said was logical, but in the eyes of Huo Huaixin and others, the broken neck was a mess of corruption, and nothing could be seen at all, while Qin Wan was talking, and suddenly said "huh".
"Bring over the lamp—"
Yue Qing hurriedly brought the lamp in the corner closer. As soon as he got closer, the look of the corpse became more disgusting. When he looked at Qin Wan again, Yue Qing felt admiration in his eyes——
"Miss Jiu, what's the matter?" Huo Huaixin couldn't help asking.
Qin Wan didn't answer immediately, but said, "The deceased was beheaded while he was still alive, and the blood would definitely splash out, but the blood on the neckline of the deceased's wedding dress was very light and not much, which is enough to prove that the deceased died. I was not wearing a wedding dress when I was married."
Huo Huaixin let out an "ah", "But...but she was found wearing a wedding dress. Could it be that...the deceased had died a long time ago, but was put on a wedding dress and placed in a wedding sedan chair?"
Qin Wan nodded, "The wedding sedan chair is not the place where the deceased was murdered."
Huo Huaixin hurriedly asked, "Then where was she killed?"
This time Qin Wan didn't answer, she suddenly began to carefully search the wounds of the corpse, as if she was looking for something, after a while, she suddenly changed her position and came to the side of the long case, her eyes fell on the corpse private department.
After a person dies, the most prone to corruption is the wound, and the second is the privacy of the mouth and nose. The deceased has no head, so Qin Wan can only focus on the privacy. I have seen Qin Wan inspect the penis of a male corpse before. For once, everyone calmed down.
Qin Wan bent over and inspected the rotten and swollen lower abdomen of the corpse for a while. Suddenly, she held something between her fingers and raised her hand, "Does Xu Wuzuo recognize this thing?"
Xu He was slightly suspicious, and hurried forward to take a look. When he looked, he saw Qin Wan holding a small ant between his fingers.
Xu He's expression was shocked, "Is this a white-toothed ant?"
Qin Wan nodded, "White-toothed ants were born in the south of Dazhou, live on rotten wood, and often entangled in the birch trees. Just now I found that the wound of the corpse had been bitten, but I didn't expect it to be this white-toothed ant." .”
Huo Huaixin was still in a daze, but Qin Wan looked at him and said, "Master Zhifu, it will be clear after this."
Huo Huaixin came back to his senses, but he still hadn't figured it out, "Why, how did it become clear—"
"The murderer chopped off the head of the deceased with a single knife, and his attack was brutal and swift. He was presumed to be a man who had practiced martial arts, and he must have committed the crime to conceal the truth. However, on the day of the incident, the deceased was sent to Jinzhou City with a wedding sedan chair. It is impossible for the murderer to Killing people in the wedding procession, the murderer has no chance to commit the crime along the way, the only chance is where the deceased rests the night before and at noon."
"This colony of white-toothed ants will only appear among the white birch trees, and the white birch trees are not common in the south. Even if they appear, they are only small forests. Therefore, the magistrate, go and see the resting place of the wedding party. If there is a birch forest nearby, we can initially find the place where the deceased was murdered." He continued, "The head of the deceased is very likely to be thrown there."
Huo Huaixin's eyes brightened, and he said almost immediately, "Miss Jiu is really clever! I'll send someone to search right away!"
The case has not progressed in the past few days. When Huo Huaixin first heard the words, he had a clear direction, and his confidence was greatly boosted. He cupped his hands at Qin Wan and went out to order people. Seeing him like this, Qin Wan raised his eyebrows and called Xu He again. "Xu Wuzuo, bring the white vinegar."
Xu He said while handing over the white vinegar, "What else does Miss Nine want to test?"
Qin Wan shook his head, "Since we can't dissect the corpse, we can only examine the surface of the corpse to the extreme."
After finishing speaking, he wiped white vinegar on the corpse. Qin Wan wiped it and said, "The watch of the corpse has begun to rot, and we may not be able to find it. If you feel uncomfortable staying here, go out and get some air."
The room was quiet, Qin Wan smeared white vinegar and waited quietly. Here, Yue Qiong was the first to go to the window and opened the window lattice. As soon as the window was opened, the room was much more transparent. Yue Qing couldn't help it, and followed her .
Qin Wan didn't move, her gaze was still on the surface of the corpse. At a certain moment, she suddenly frowned and bent down to look at the shoulder of the corpse.
Yan Chi had been watching Qin Wan's movement, and walked over after seeing it.
I saw that the corpse's plaque had spread seriously, and there was even a green spot of corruption on the shoulder due to the rotten water of the wound. Qin Wan's eyes were fixed on the left shoulder of the corpse where the purple and green plaques intersected.
A few moments later, Qin Wan suddenly picked up Hanyue and carefully peeled off the rotting skin of the corpse.
This peeling immediately revealed the scarlet flesh inside.
Yan Chi didn't understand autopsies, but even he could see a few small black dots between the scarlet.
Yan Chi couldn't help asking, "What is this?"
Qin Wan's expression seemed surprised, but soon, her composure and calm suppressed the astonishment, she squinted her eyes, and her tone was so light and deep that only Yan Chi could hear it.
"It's the tooth marks."
