Chapter 399 Body temperature

PreviousBack to directoryNext
 Wu Zuo refers specifically to the officer who inspects the corpses of murder cases in the government.

In the past, work has always been a humble and humble industry, with not only meager income, but also suffering from discrimination.

It wasn't until Li Ang compiled a book on forensic medicine and demonstrated the role and importance of forensic medicine that people's ideas gradually changed. This in turn promoted the imperial court to improve the treatment and status of widowers.

"Everyone, the body temperature of a normal living person is about 37 degrees.

There is a thermometer on the table in this room, which shows that the current temperature is sixteen degrees. Considering that Yuan Jia is covered with a thin silk blanket, let’s count it as seventeen degrees.”

Su Xinghuo said quickly: "It is said in "Forensic Pathology" that in this environment, a medium-sized corpse will drop one degree every half an hour.

In other words, if I killed Yuanjia between the early hours of Haichu (9 p.m.) and the early hours of Haizheng (10 p.m.), then the temperature of his body should be around 27 to 28 degrees.

.

And if Yuan Jia was killed at Chouzheng time (two o'clock in the morning), then the temperature of his body should be about 32 degrees.

Just use a thermometer to measure it and you can determine the exact time of death!"

The aisles were crowded with people, and they all heard Su Xinghuo’s words.

The crew members who were detaining Su Xinghuo looked hesitant and looked at the captain of the Sea Charm.

"..."

The captain frowned. According to the laws of Yu, when a ship sails on uncontrolled open seas, the captain has the same discretionary power as the Yu State government.

How to deal with Su Xinghuo and whether to believe Su Xinghuo's words are all in his mind.

"Captain."

A middle-aged man wearing a gray gown and the badge of the Society of Science on his chest, with sharp eyes, took a step forward and said in a deep voice: "Would you like to give it a try?"

"Master Dai Fu, do you also believe his words?"

The captain looked hesitant. The middle-aged man's name was Dai Xu. He was a Cloud Patrolling Talisman from Luoyang College. He had been serving on the ship for many years, drawing wind talismans, Liliang talismans and other necessary talismans. He was an important figure on the ship.

"The King Si is my friend. He has mentioned his good friend Su Xinghuo many times before, saying that he is an outstanding doctor. Since the King Si trusts Su Xinghuo, I feel that I can trust him too."

Talisman Master Dai Xu said: "In addition, the theory of body temperature reduction he just mentioned is true. It is recorded in Forensic Pathology and cannot be faked."

"Okay."

The captain thought for a moment, then agreed with Dai Xu's opinion, and waved his hand to the crew to unlock Su Xinghuo's handcuffs.

"Huh..."

Su Xinghuo breathed a sigh of relief, and just as he was about to reach out and pick up the thermometer on the table, he suddenly realized something and retracted his hand.

He turned around and said to the captain: "Sir, I need a thermometer that is not in this room and is as new as possible."

"Huh? Why?"

"This room was a complete secret room before we opened it, right? In other words, everything in the room may be evidence. There may be fingerprints and other information on the murderer on it. Therefore, the items on the table cannot be used.

This thermometer."

Su Xinghuo said quickly: "Actually, I also have a medical thermometer in my medicine box, but considering that I am still the number one suspect,

So it's better to use another thermometer on the boat."

"Okay. Go get him a thermometer."

The captain followed Su Xinghuo's approach and instructed the crew to get the thermometer, then turned around and asked the people blocking the door to disperse - Xia Yuanjia's murder was a serious matter and must be treated with caution to prevent unrelated people from destroying the crime scene.
This guy... is pretty smart.

Li Ang retreated silently with the crowd, quite admiring Su Xinghuo.

Being able to use his identity as a doctor to find a way out in such a short period of time without being thrown into prison and leaving his fate to others is already much better than those scholars who are stupid in their studies.

"Shopkeeper An stays."

Just as Li Ang was about to walk away, he heard the captain calling him.

Li Ang asked: "Hmm? What's the matter?"

"Something's wrong."

The captain nodded, "The room numbers of each cabin on this floor are from No. 7 to No. 20.

But there was strong windy weather yesterday, so all the passengers in cabins No. 15 to No. 20 stayed on the island.

In other words, the people who appeared in this cabin last night were all the people in rooms No. 7 to No. 14.

Considering that the receptionist said that no outsiders were seen coming in or out all night, so..."

Li Ang said: "So you think that the murderer of Xia Yuanjia may be among the group of people in rooms No. 7 to 14."

The captain nodded, and stopped several other passengers who were in the cabin on this floor last night, asking them to wait in Room 10 opposite Room 9, and someone would come to ask later.

The interior decoration of Room 10 is equally luxurious, only slightly inferior to Xia Yuanjia's Room 9.

There are five people in the room except Li Ang.

They are a young man in rich clothes who lives in room 7, and his Kunlun slave - the two call themselves Fei Lian and Yan Fu. Fei Lian is a nobleman from Jing Kingdom.

Wu Yunjun lives in Room 10 - he is a businessman from Zhou State, he is broad and fat, and has a huge fortune.

Shi Yajing lives in Room 12 - she is a singer on the Sea Charm. She is young and beautiful and often lives in Room 12.

And the Talisman Master Dai Xu who lives in Room 14.

As for those who stayed in room No. 8, it was Sikong Ji and Sikong Qiu who were guests of Prince Zhou's residence. They were entrusted by the prince to come to the Sea Charm to pick up Xia Yuanjia.

Now that Xia Yuanjia is dead, Sikong Ji and Sikong Qiu must bear a certain amount of responsibility.

So they were standing in the aisle with a sullen face, coldly observing Su Xinghuo using forensic skills to examine Xia Yuanjia's body.

Everyone in the room observed each other silently, and the atmosphere was solemn and depressing.

Li Ang was the first to break the silence and said: "I thought this journey would be uneventful, but I didn't expect that such an accident would happen.

Do you all know this heir?"

"I know."

The singer Shi Yajing pursed her lower lips and said with a sad expression: "I was born in Wu County, Zhou State. I received a lot of care from the King on the Sea Charm. I saw him last night. I didn't expect that things happened so suddenly."
p>

"Yes, who would have thought of it. The heir has a gentle and kind personality and has almost no enemies. I don't know who has such strong hatred that he wants to kill him on the ship."

Zhou Guo merchant Wu Yunjun sighed and said.

"Oh?"

The young man in fine clothes who called himself Fei Lian leaned against the bookcase and curled his lips and said, "Why do I think you all have the motive to kill him?"

"What?"

After hearing this, Wu Yunjun (who was also the owner of Room 10) suddenly changed his face and said in a deep voice: "Young man, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't talk nonsense."

"Really? Then why did I see you begging Xia Yuanjia on the deck yesterday afternoon?"

Fei Lian raised his chin towards Wu Yunjun and pursed his lips towards Shi Yajing, "Why did I hear you and Xia Yuanjia arguing last night?"
