At that time, after a woman had an affair, she killed her husband with her adulterer. In order to cover up others' eyes, they faked the death in a fire. How to verify that the deceased was murdered?
The county magistrate Zhang Ju came up with a trick to make the truth of the case clear: "The move is to take two pigs: kill one, live one, and burn them with accumulated fuel. There will be ashes in the mouths of the living ones, but there will be no ashes in the mouths of the murderers. Because of the autopsy,
, there is no ashes in the mouth, so I will admit my guilt."
Judging from the above, Zhang Ju has rich experience in handling cases. He got two pigs, killed one, and left the other unkilled. He threw both pigs into the burning pyre. As a result, the burned pig had ash in its mouth.
, but not in the mouth of the one who was killed.
Based on this principle, an autopsy showed that no dirt was found in the slain husband's mouth. At this point, the woman who killed her husband had nothing to say and confessed her crime.
For example, in the examination of hanging corpses, ancient forensic doctors have worked out a very accurate "theory": If the death is caused by hanging, the deceased's tongue will usually stick out and the deceased will be incontinent; if it is hung after death, this will not happen
Phenomenon.
This autopsy method was used by forensic doctors in the pre-Qin Dynasty. For example, the "Jingshi" in the "Sealing Examination Style" of the Qin Dynasty requires the forensic doctors who go to the scene to examine the corpse before putting down the hanging corpse.
When it comes out, how far can the head and feet reach at the end? Are the remaining arrows weak?"
Of course, if the tongue does not stick out, it does not necessarily mean that the person was hanged after death; it may also be that the person was hanged.
"The Collection of Cleansing Wrongful Deeds: Part II of the General Prosecutor's Statement" points out: "If the rope is under the throat, the tongue will come out; if the rope is above the throat, the tongue will not come out."
During an autopsy, judgment must be made based on the specific circumstances. In addition, identifying "cadaver spots" is also a commonly used method by the ancients.
Corpse spots are a modern term, and the ancients called them "blood drops" or "blood barriers". For example, those who died by hanging will have corpse spots distributed on the far ends of the upper and lower limbs, which is what is described in the "Self-Hanging" article in "The Collection of Cleansing Wrongs"
's: "There is blood shadow on the legs, like fire moxibustion marks, and it extends from the belly to the lower abdomen and falls, blue and black."
It can be seen from this that the wisdom of the ancient Chinese cannot be underestimated. With this wisdom and experience, the post-mortem memory is actually comparable to the post-mortem examinations of later generations.
This has become a relatively complete and mature system.
So, these orders make history.
I have never seen Liu Zheng so domineering.
Cut open directly?
As the saying goes, the dead are the greatest! In ancient times, autopsies did not exist and were absolutely not allowed. This is the greatest blasphemy to the dead and the greatest disrespect to ghosts and gods.
Liu Zheng insisted: "It must be cut open. I have read your files. He died because his internal organs were broken. But I think it is not complete. Is it an external force or an internal cause when his internal organs were broken?"
"This is a major breakthrough in this case!"
The historians all looked at each other in shock.
this......
What to do?
Is this Liu Zhizhou crazy?
He wants to cut the body open!
Where can I find someone to stop him?
Yi Lingshi swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said with difficulty: "Master, this matter...this matter, desecration of the deceased, let's not talk about it for now, how will the family members explain it?"
Others also nodded.
Liu Zheng chuckled and said: "I always believe that whenever a murder case occurs, no matter it is the family, the people, justice, or justice!"
"There is only one thing we want, and that is the truth!"
He said forcefully: "As a judicial practitioner, we have only one purpose, and that is the truth!"
He looked around: "Only the truth can comfort ghosts and gods!"
"Only the truth can comfort the dead!"
"Only the truth can comfort the family!"
"Dissection!"
Everyone was also excited by what Liu Zheng said.
the truth!
right!
What they judicial officers want is true desire! Ling Shi is the same! Then... Liu Zheng saw Ling Shi, very excited, took out a butcher's knife from the back kitchen, and shouted: "Let Shi
Open, I'll do the dissection!"
"puff......"
Liu Zheng took a mouthful of old blood and almost spit it out.
But there is no way...
Who told our family to have this condition?
The scalpel is definitely gone.
Just make do with the butcher's knife...
This was probably the first time that the Longyan Dynasty had dissected a corpse. Ling Shi, who was very excited just now, was actually roaring fiercely. If he really wanted to strike, his hands began to tremble.
After reciting the "Great Compassion Mantra" several times, the knife opened the chest of the corpse.
