Lu Jinping patted his shoulder righteously and said, "It's okay, brothers, I'll help you investigate this case. Let me tell you the truth. I have learned from a Yunyou Taoist in the field of autopsy and are good at solving cases. Otherwise, I wouldn't have seen at a glance that he was strangled to death or died of drunkenness. This ability is not something ordinary people have. The previous coroner cleaned the body and changed the shrouds. The coroner didn't find any strangeness, only I discovered it. If I hadn't had this ability, I wouldn't have said that to Luo Sifa just now."

Although Lu Jinping is the youngest official, he is also an official. Compared with Captain Xiong, who is not even considered an official, there is a gap across the yamen runner, not to mention that he is the Baron of Founding County, which is even more extraordinary. The Lord's ability to call him a brother and a captain made Captain Xiong quite flattered. He hurriedly bowed his waist and changed his smile and said, "If you have the help of the Lord, it is really a blessing for the villain, and the villain will feel much more at ease."

Although he said this, the expression on his face was very far-fetched, and people could tell at a glance that these words were insincere.

Seeing him like this, Lu Jinping knew that he actually had no confidence in himself and said, "It seems that you don't really believe that I can help you, so I'm too lazy to care. I just was just polite with Sifa Luo. I went to bed. I was tired for a day and was so sleepy..."

Say it, Lu Jinping's robe sleeves flicked and left.

Captain Bear came back to his senses and quickly shouted, "Sir, wait!" He ran over and stopped Lu Jinping and said, "Sir, you are willing to help me solve the case, and I am reluctant to ask for it. I just thought of getting beaten, so I was a little distracted. Ask Master Lu to help me, not only to avoid getting beaten, but also, since someone has been murdered, as the captain, if I cannot arrest the real murderer and uphold justice, then what qualifications do I have to wear this set of tiger skin?"

The following sentences were so powerful that Lu Jinping nodded and smiled, "That's right, it's like a head-in-chief. OK, let's start working. - How do you plan to start detecting?"

Captain Xiong thought for a while and said, "Catch all the people who were with the deceased Pang Yan that day and ask, see who is suspected, and then torture it, and maybe you can solve the case."

This method is a common method for solving cases in ancient China. Lu Jinping couldn't help but shake his head and smile and said, "This method may certainly cause a blind cat to catch the real murderer when he hits a dead mouse, but the biggest possibility is to be blamed and make the real murderer gossip and cause innocent people to suffer injustice."

The head bear smiled bitterly and said, "Besides this method, I really can't think of anything else. Sir, please give me some advice."

Lu Jinping said: "At the beginning of the investigation, we must first determine the possible scope of the suspect, and then check the suspect based on the clues found, and then identify several important suspects to conduct further in-depth investigations, collect evidence, and finally lock in the key suspects until the real murderer is caught. This is the whole idea of ​​solving the case. Of course, we must first determine the cause of death and the time of death. If it can be determined more accurately, it will be of great help to us solve the case."

Captain Bear said: "The cause of death said before that he was strangled to death. We have seen it just now. There are indeed traces of strangulation, which proves that he was strangled to death. As for the time of death, this... I don't think I'll come." Speaking of this, he turned his head and looked at the several yamen coroners standing next to him and said: "Do you guys know how to calculate when the deceased was killed?"

Several coroners shook their heads embarrassedly and said, "Sir, we will dig a pit and bury people. It's okay to collect the bodies for people. This, solve the case... we won't, haha."

In ancient times, the post-mortem work of yamen coroners mainly began in the Ming and Qing dynasties. Before this, coroners' post-mortem work was all empirical. Most coroners only concealed corpses and did not know about post-mortem. During the Song Dynasty, Song Ci, a pioneer of forensic medicine, compiled the monograph "Xiaowen Lu" based on the experience of collecting experience in yamen coroners' post-mortem work, and then began the standardized post-mortem work of coroners. It developed until the Ming Dynasty that it became the authoritative basis for post-mortem work. Before that, there was no more difference between yamen coroners and ordinary coffin shops.

At most, the yamen coroners in the Tang Dynasty could see if there were any scars on the surface of the corpse, such as things that could be seen by the naked eye. Because most people dared or were unwilling to do, and they had to do it, they would do it by the coroners. If they further required the calculation of the time of death based on the corpse phenomenon and the determination of the cause of death, such as these professional issues that require rich forensic knowledge as the basis, it would be really difficult.

Lu Jinping patted the bear captain's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I said, I and a Taoist who traveled around specifically learned how to perform autopsy. This is a special Taoist method. Brothers, I can't bear to see you get beaten, I can use what I have learned to help you."

There are many kinds of Taoist methods in Taoism. In addition to the common catching ghosts, catching monsters, exorcising evil spirits, as well as curing diseases, elixirs, skin care, and even arts in the room, they are all-encompassing. Therefore, it is not surprising that there is an additional Taoist method specifically used to solve cases. However, this Taoist method was mastered by a lord, which surprised the bear captain. After thanking him, he asked tentatively: "Sir, do you really know such a method?"

"Can you try it, just try it." Lu Jinping walked to the corpse and took a look, then turned to the captain bear and said, "It's just that the deceased has been dead for several days. It is very difficult to lock the death time to a certain hour now. However, we can use investigation methods to determine his more accurate death time. This kind of investigation is often more accurate than simply following the phenomenon of corpses. Simply put, we only need to verify that the last person who saw him and the first person who found the body is his death time. If the interval between these two time is very short, the accuracy rate is very high."

Captain Bear said: "What's the use of us to determine the time of his death?"

Lu Jinping was sweating profusely. If a captain didn't know what it was for him to determine the time of death, then the captain's ability to detect the detection is indeed worrying. But it is no wonder that ancient reconnaissance technology was originally very backward, and it was not uncommon to not know it.

Lu Jinping had to patiently explain to him: "After determining the time of death, we can investigate the suspect's activities during this period, eliminate those who have clear evidence to prove that they are not present during this period, and list the remaining ones as suspects for investigation one by one. Therefore, determining the accurate time of death is an important way to eliminate the suspect and the basis for locking the murderer. Do you understand?"

Captain Bear nodded in a vague way, thought for a while, and then asked awkwardly: "Then, what's the use of determining the cause of death?"

Although Captain Xiong looked like he was learning, Lu Jinping still had the urge to kick him. For this fool, he really felt that he could not stand up on the wall. Lu Jinping explained patiently: "The cause of death is to find out what methods or means the murderer used to cause the death of the deceased. The methods and means of murder, especially some of the details, must be absolutely confidential, because this is an important basis for asking for confessions and comparing them after determining the key suspects in the future. If the suspect can tell the means of killing the deceased, especially some details, then the credibility of his confession is very high, which proves that he is likely to be the murderer. Of course, the premise is that there is no possibility of inducing confessions or the suspect knowing these details from other channels. Therefore, accurate means and details are an important way to determine the crime and lock the murderer. Especially when the key suspect is confessed first and then evidence, it is more proof. Do you understand?"

"Supply first and then prove?"

"It is the defendant who first confessed the means and details of the murder, and then we found the corresponding physical evidence based on his confession, such as finding a knife or something, or the autopsy result is consistent with what he said, which is called confession first and then evidence."
