Chapter 228 The Unburial Corpse
Lu Jinping examined the deceased's mouth and found that blood was pouring out continuously. Lu Jinping frowned, which means that there should be fresh wounds in his mouth.
How could there be a wound in his mouth? What's going on? Lu Jinping carefully stuck his cheeks, spread his chin open and looked in. After seeing this, he couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. Because a fragrant tongue in Dai Qiu's mouth disappeared, only a small part of the root was left.
Because the person is dead, the heart loses its pulsation and the blood no longer flows, so the amount of blood that flows out from the broken root of the tongue is not too much, enough for Lu Jinping to see the situation clearly.
Then, with the help of Ye Qingqing, Lu Jinping carefully took out all the clothes on the deceased and checked his body. He immediately found obvious marks of rubbing and compression on the deceased's forearm and the back of the deceased's neck.
This kind of trace is very familiar to Lu Jinping, a forensic doctor who has investigated countless cases. Generally speaking, it is the trace left by the murderer when he pinched the driver's neck from behind and pressed it on the ground, preparing to subdue the other party.
He looked at the room. Because the room was full of water, the murderer could not always press the other party into the water. In that case, the other party would suffocate to death, so the most likely place should be on the bed. That is, the murderer took advantage of the fact that Dai Qiu was sleeping on the bed and suddenly came in and grabbed his neck and wanted to subdue him, so he left such pinching marks behind his neck. This kind of pinching marks could not be formed by himself, and it should be injuries caused by others.
Lu Jinping took out his own special cotton swab and wiped it repeatedly. Although the body had been washed by water, because the time before the case occurred was very short, if he had tried very hard at that time, some shed cells might be left at the pinching mark. Once these cells were found, he had a way to extract DNA and lock the murderer.
After the swab was extracted, Lu Jinping inspected other parts of the body and found that the deceased had cyanosis on his face and swelling with needle-shaped bleeding spots on his eyelids. Cyanosis of his nails was typical signs of death by asphyxiation. Did Dai Qiu die because of asphyxiation? However, judging from the traces at the back of his neck, it was not enough to cause him to suffocate and die, and there must be another reason.
After checking other parts, no specific signs were found. Her lower body was also checked, and no traces or evidence of sexual invasion were found.
Now, the focus is on the mouth of the deceased.
He dissected her mouth, and when the mouth was opened, he saw more clearly the broken tongue. He carefully observed that most of the deceased's tongue was cut by a sharp weapon, and the break end was still in the deceased's mouth. There were many trauma in the mouth, and the remaining broken section was a tear.
Where did the deceased's tongue go?
Although it was initially concluded that the deceased died of suffocation, Lu Jinping dared not make a conclusion about the cause of the suffocation. He had to find further evidence, so he decided to dissect it.
Because the surface of the deceased was related to suffocation, Lu Jinping did not perform the dissection step by step, but directly examined his respiratory tract. After he opened it, he immediately discovered how Qiu died deep in the deceased's trachea, and a small piece of tongue was inserted into it, blocking the entire airway tightly!
Lu Jinping took out that small piece of tongue. Comparing the broken mouth with the broken tongue of the deceased's mouth, he found that it could match it, proving that this paragraph was the deceased's Dai Qiu himself.
How could this tongue penetrate deep into her oral trachea?
Did she bit her tongue off by herself, and when she went crazy, she choked into the trachea while swallowing? But this speculation is different from the broken mark on the tongue. Because most of the tongue was obviously cut off by a knife, not bitten off.
Lu Jinping didn't have more time to think about this problem. He tested the extracted swab of the pinch mark on the back of the neck of the deceased. At the same time, he extracted the blood of the deceased as a comparison sample.
The result was soon out, and the mixed classification of the deceased and a stranger was extracted from the neck of the deceased.
Lu Jinping immediately separated strangers' DNA by using mixed sample separation method. Finally, he obtained the DNA classification of strangers.
He immediately compared the result with the existing DNA database of Chunhualou that he had extracted. The result flashed and prompted him to find a successful match. After carefully reading it, Lu Jinping was shocked because the result showed that the stranger's DNA was actually related to the dead DNA of the Piaoxue girl who had hanged herself, which means that they were directly related to the blood relatives!
Because before this, he had extracted some blood samples for analysis for comparison, especially the deceased, which is the basis for comparison. Therefore, he extracted and stored all the blood samples of the deceased. This time, he automatically compared the DNA results of some suspects, and this unexpected result actually occurred.
Lu Jinping's eyes immediately showed a slow-moving image, full of the image of a shriveled old lady who was loving to her granddaughter.
Old Mrs. Huang?
Could it be that Old Lady Huang was the murderer who killed Dai Qiu or caused his death?
Dai Qiu was already crazy. After she went crazy, the rich man Ma also emphasized that he could not leave any weapon in the house. Therefore, it should not be Dai Qiu himself who cut off his tongue. Judging from the current situation, it was Mrs. Huang.
Why did Old Mrs. Huang cut Dai Qiu's tongue? And why did Dai Qiu's tongue get stuck in his trachea and suffocate him to death?
How did Old Lady Huang enter this yard? There was no staircase or foot pad around the wall. Although the water rose to the base of her thighs, it was still high from the wall and could not turn it over. How did Old Lady who was staggering and unable to move into this yard? How could she cut off the tongue of a crazy young woman? This is probably not something that an ordinary old lady can do.
Lu Jinping immediately called Captain Xiong in and asked him to take someone to control Old Lady Huang, wait for him to come over and ask, and then hurriedly packed the forensic survey box. He was not going to continue the dissection of Dai Qiu's remaining body parts. The necessity was not great now, and there was no time left.
The rich man Ma, Niu **, Randeng Tianshi and others outside the door had already heard that Captain Xiong was going to arrest Old Lady Huang, and they were all a little surprised. Is Old Lady Huang related to this case? It's impossible. The old lady herself can't take care of herself. It's probably difficult to kill a chicken. How could she have contact with the murderer? Could she be an accomplice?
Seeing that Lu Jinping didn't say anything, Ma Caizhu and others hurriedly followed behind.
When I arrived at Piaoxue's yard, I happened to run into the captain bear who came out of it and said anxiously: "Sir, the old lady Huang has just gone out. The person inside said he didn't know where he went, and she didn't say anything."
Lu Jinping said in a deep voice: "Search immediately, arrest him if you find out. Be careful, she is very dangerous."
Captain Xiong smiled and said, "What's the danger of a shriveled old lady..." As soon as he said this, he saw Lu Jinping looking at him with a gloomy face, quickly swallowed the words behind him, clasped his fists and agreed, and ordered the constable to search for Old Lady Huang, and arrest him immediately once he found out.
The brigade constable spread all over and looked for Mrs. Huang. Lu Jinping thought about it and then dripped in and went into the main hall.
The main hall was originally a bedroom with snow, but now it has become a mourning hall, with white prayer flags hanging everywhere. In the middle of the lobby, a coffin was placed on a long wooden bench. The lid of the coffin was still standing aside, and the coffin was covered with a piece of white cloth.
Several maids and mothers stood beside each other in panic and stood in a row. Lu Jinping saw a table in front of the coffin, with an incense burner and a copper basin for burning paper money on it, so he lit three incense sticks. After bowing respectfully, he inserted it into the incense burner without saying a word, then turned around and asked the women, "Has Piaoxue's grandmother been out just now? I mean before that."
The two old wives looked at each other, winked each other, and signaled to each other. Finally, an older wives laughed and said, "Yes, Grandma Huang is busy with what she has been doing in the past two days. She drove us out and did not let us be in the mourning hall. She called us in again and let us watch it, but we didn't know what he was trying to do. Just before, he had gone out before he went out, and after he came back, he covered his heart and bowed his waist, and looked uncomfortable. We asked her what was wrong? She waved her hand and said it was okay, and then went into the house, came over for a while before coming out. After coming out, she looked free and told us that we would go out, let Haosheng look at the girl's mourning hall, and then left. You will come later."
Lu Jinping couldn't help but feel moved and asked, "When he came back, he covered his heart with his hands, his expression was very painful, right?"
"Yes, I don't know if it's touching my heart or covering my stomach. It's hard to walk anyway, so I almost fell into the water. Or we went to support her and asked her not to tell her what was going on. She didn't let her call the doctor. She just said that it would be fine if she had a sleep, so she went into the house."
Now, Lu Jinping said: "You said before that she always comes in and out these days. I don't know what she is busy with. Do you think she has something to do?"
Several maids and old women shook their heads together.
Lu Jinping nodded and was about to turn around and leave, but suddenly sniffed. He felt something was wrong, so he looked around, sniffed again, and then said, "Miss Piaoxue's body has been broken, why haven't it been buried yet?"
The maid and the old lady shook her head and said, "Grandma Huang will not allow her to do the rituals forty-nine days before she can be buried."
"Where is the monk and Taoist priest who do the rituals?"
"It rained heavily last night, and they all hid in the house."
"Why don't you nail the coffin to death? The stench spreads out. Can't you smell it?"
Several old wives smiled bitterly and said to Lu Jinping: "It's not that we don't want to cover the coffin. Grandma doesn't allow it. She said it's just open and it won't break, so we can only do this. We also advised her to be buried in peace. Even if we want to do rituals, we can nail the coffin and do it. If the body is going to be broken, wouldn't it be a blasphemy of the dead? But Old Mrs. Huang refused."
A trace of doubt flashed in Lu Jinping's eyes. Suddenly, his eyes gradually lit up, as if he had found a ray of light from the fog. (To be continued.)
