Several bad guys had their hands wrapped in cloth.
They were experienced in many battles, but when they thought that the Taoist priest behind them actually asked the deceased to speak, they still felt a little scared.
My neck feels cold and my hands and feet are numb.
What kind of magical power can make the dead speak?
Yi Shanjin didn't say anything, grabbed a piece of cloth in his hand, walked to the body, and began to examine it carefully.
There is another person beside him, he is a widower from the Hanzhong government office.
Like the others, he wrapped his hands in cloth. He first looked at the deceased's face, then at his neck and body, and finally took off his pants to check again.
He made a "tsk tsk" sound and shook his head.
Then he stood up and said to Hanzhong Fuyin next to him:
"Lord Fu Yin, I have inspected the deceased in my humble position. Like the nine people before me, the skin was broken after being exposed to extreme romance. After being sucked dry of the yang energy, the whole body was dry, the neck cord marks were obvious, and the tongue was slightly sticking out of the teeth.
Outside, he should have been hanged here alive."
Hanzhong Fuyin frowned and asked:
"Have you ever seen how long it has been since you died?"
"The corpse was rigor mortis and cold. He should have been dead for six to ten hours. Unfortunately, after his death, the essence and blood in his body had been drained. The body spots were too few and not obvious. Otherwise, it would have been more accurate."
There was a delinquent who looked younger next to him. He stared at the side and asked:
"Senior, I just saw that there were no wounds on his body. How was he drained of blood?"
The delinquent who was called "Senior" pointed at the space between the deceased's crotches and whispered back:
"You're stupid, his skin is so broken down below, don't you understand?"
"Ah, this is so enviable... I am filled with resentment. The murderer is so cruel and inhumane!"
The bad people were talking quietly.
Bad handsome man Li Guodong frowned and said:
"Did he die during the day? After his death, his body was hung here?"
There was another bad guy nearby who said:
"This is impossible. We just patrolled here a moment ago and saw no suspicious people. Let alone monsters. If an ordinary person wants to avoid our eyes, move the body here and hang it here.
too difficult."
Others also nodded.
There was a bad person who was confused and said:
"Could it be that the monster cast a magic spell to hide the deceased here and hang him alive in the street?"
As soon as he said this, the surrounding atmosphere became stagnant.
What kind of monster is so rampant!?
Hanzhong Fuyin sighed:
"If that were the case, I'm afraid he would have run far away by now."
Upon hearing this, Chief Zhao thought for a moment and said:
"Lord Fu Yin, the City God said before that no monsters have come here for several months."
"Could it be the work of someone with supernatural powers? But why is there so much evil spirit here?"
"The same goes for the nine people who died earlier. They all had a strong evil spirit."
Everyone was talking about it, and Li Guodong frowned and said:
"Such monsters must be at such a high level that not even Lord Fu Yin is aware of them. I'm afraid we have to wait until Qin Tian Jian sends someone."
Hanzhong Fuyin also nodded and said:
"In this case, let's restrain the deceased first, continue to strengthen night patrols, and investigate suspicious persons."
"promise."
Li Guodong cupped his hands and was about to go down to do something when he suddenly heard a voice:
"Wait a minute."
While they were talking just now, Yi Shanjin had been looking at the corpse, frowning in thought.
Now that Yi Shanjin had spoken, everyone suddenly remembered that there was a master Bai Zirou here.
This great disciple just said that the deceased spoke out to avenge himself, which is such a weird thing.
Yishan Jin frowned, squatted on the ground, pointed at the deceased and said:
"He was not hanged, but strangled. Not long ago, the body was hung here. As for the time of death, it was not that long. I estimate that it was only within an hour."
When Master Zhao saw Yishan Jin's affirmation, he raised his hands and asked in confusion:
"Fellow Taoist, why do you say this? Can it really make the deceased speak out and seek justice?"
Everyone's expressions were a little weird. If the deceased was allowed to speak out and express his grievances, everyone would hear it.
The key is, no one can hear the deceased speak now.
It’s hard to be convinced by just one person’s words.
But Yi Shanjin has already continued:
"Just now, I judged that the deceased was hanged based on the fact that his tongue was sticking out of his teeth and there were obvious strangulation marks on his neck, right?"
Wu Zuo nodded:
"Indeed, the tip of the tongue is outside the teeth and the cord mark on the neck is obvious. This is a sign of death by hanging."
Yi Shanjin, who studies forensic medicine, knows very well that hanging and strangulation can easily be confused based on these two points alone.
The hanged man in the TV series has a long tongue, but he is fake after all.
"Please see, the tip of the tongue is outside the teeth. It is only caused by the compression of the hyoid bone. Such symptoms are not only caused by hanging. Looking at the rope marks, the rope marks are deeper at the stress point, and the two sides are deeper.
The sides are shallower, the two ends do not intersect, and there is a blank space behind the neck.”
Yi Shanjin was not afraid of the dead body. He turned the body's head slightly to show the rope marks and continued:
"You see, the cord groove on the deceased's neck is circular and horizontal, and the depth of the cord groove is even. Most importantly, the cord groove is in a closed state, and there is no lifting phenomenon. Oh, it also means that the two ends do not want to meet, and there is a blank after the force."
Everyone looked at Wu Zuo.
Wu Zuo opened his mouth——
I do not know!
Yishan Jin stood up and untied his pants.
Everyone looked at the deceased who was naked because of the inspection of the body, and then at Yishan Jin who had taken off his belt.
Fortunately, Yishanjin just held his belt and walked behind Mr. Zhao.
Then he wrapped his belt around Mr. Zhao’s neck and said:
"Master Zhao, if you were hung up with something like a rope, how would you struggle?"
Chief Zhao was a little confused, but he still said:
"I guess I'll hold on to the rope."
"What about this?"
Yishan tightened his belt.
Master Zhao's neck was suddenly strangled, and he immediately reached back and instinctively grabbed Yi Shanjin's arms and hands.
However, Yi Shanjin quickly loosened his belt, and Mr. Zhao suddenly coughed twice.
Just listen to Yishan Jin, while showing the scratches on the back of his hand that Mr. Zhao had just scratched, he continued:
"There is another difference between hanging and strangulation, which is the struggle reaction of the deceased before death. Hanging can only grasp the rope, but strangulation requires more than just the rope."
Yi Shanjin grabbed the deceased's hand, pointed to the fingernails and said:
"I just observed that in the fingers of the deceased, in addition to traces of cloth, there are also some skin flakes and obvious blood stains. Moreover, when struggling, the neck strangulation marks will also be scratched, which is different from the corpse's neck.
, perfectly consistent.”
If placed in modern times, these blood stains would definitely be the key to solving the case.
It's a pity that there wasn't so much high technology in ancient times.
The man came forward and took a closer look at the deceased's nails and the strangulation marks on his neck.
It took a long time before he raised his head, nodded and said:
"Indeed, it is indeed so."
But Wu Zuo was very strange and asked:
"But why, Taoist priest, do you think this deceased may have just died? His body is obviously cold and stiff. This is a sign that he is dead. It has been more than six hours at least."
"Ice cubes. The murderer added ice cubes."
"Ice cubes? Ice cubes cool down and make the body stiff in a short time? How does the Taoist priest know?"
Yi Shanjin pointed to the deceased and said, in the dark night:
"The deceased told me that he had frostbite on his body."
