How to work

This corpse is really too terrifying!

The body was exposed on the top of a towering mountain, with no tall trees around it, naked body, dirty surface, turned up flesh, many white flesh worms clinging to red and yellow dirt, no need to look closely to know that they were fly-like maggots, and their footsteps were not close , the stench came from the wind...

However, these are not the scariest thing, the scariest thing is that this corpse has no head!

Lu Li walked in an excellent direction, and he could see the black and red wound on the neck of the corpse at a glance. There was no head on it, and his vision was clear and accurate.

Even though he had seen many bloody scenes, Lu Li frowned subconsciously.He paused slightly, grabbed Shen Wansha, pointed at the corpse from a distance, "Is that what you saw?"

Shen Wansha recalled that he almost had 'intimate contact' with the dead body without paying attention, and felt like vomiting, "That's right. I didn't pay attention at first, and ran all the way to his side, and I was so choked by the stench that I almost fell over..." He held on to Lu Li's hand tightly, refusing to go any further, his eyes terrified, "Little Li, he has no head, no head!"

"I know." Lu Li patted Shen Wansha's hand, signaling him to let go.

Seeing that although Shen Wansha let go, the tension on his face was still hard to hide, a smile appeared on the corners of his lips, and he took out a small delicate porcelain bottle from his bosom.The small bottle is blue and white on a white background, with water ripples, very elegant.

"This is?" Shen Wansha was puzzled.

Lu Li pinched the cork on the bottle with his slender fingers, unscrewed the cork with a little force, and poured out three brown pills the size of mung beans, the fragrance of the medicine was overflowing.

Different from the pleasant fragrance of commonly used incense, this medicinal fragrance has a strange smell, which penetrates directly into the nose and is somewhat irritating, making people uncomfortable and even want to sneeze.But after the stimulation, my mind froze suddenly, the Lingtai was clear, my mind was clear, my whole body seemed to come back to life, I couldn't smell the stench of corpses anymore, my eyes didn't dazzle, my forehead didn't jump and I didn't want to vomit, and I was alive instantly.Once the condition was good, Shen Wansha felt as if he was not afraid of anything all of a sudden!

"What's this?" Putting his index finger and thumb together, Shen Wansha pinched a pill from Lu Li's palm, held it up to the sun, and then sniffed it.

"Suhexiang Pills, to remove filth and ward off evil, refresh the mind, I made it myself, and the effect is not bad." Lu Li handed one to Zhao Zhu, and swallowed the other one by himself.

Shen Wansha immediately understood that he ate with his back without anyone urging him.After eating it, I became curious, wondering if the effect would still be as good if I was closer to the corpse?

Only Zhao Zhu held his hands behind his back, stared deeply at Lu Li, and didn't take the pills he handed over.

Lu Li raised his eyebrows, but he didn't answer, just looked at him quietly.

Lu Li's forehead started to twitch, this old man who is used to being served!

He stretched out his hand, squinted his eyes and signaled Zhao Zhu "Ah—" Zhao Zhu opened his mouth in a good manner, and he quickly slapped the pill into the man's mouth, stared at him again, and then pulled Shen Wansha forward again.

The coincidence earlier in the morning was too embarrassing, he didn't know how to resolve it, and wanted to get past it, but Zhao Zhu kept silent and forced him with his eyes from time to time, and even signaled him to do such a seemingly intimate thing!Is this interesting!Lu Li thought to himself, next time I feed you poison, let's see if you dare to eat it!

But at present, these trivial matters really shouldn't be bothered. Although Zhao Zhu has a distasteful temper, he still sincerely wants to be friends with him.

Lu Li sighed deeply, walked up to the corpse, and examined it carefully.

The corpse was lying on its back with its legs straight and its arms stretched out. Such a posture generally represented relaxation and comfort, but for a corpse that had lost its head and was clearly a vicious homicide, wasn't this posture a bit deliberate?

If this is the scene of the first crime, there are many movements of dying people, and it is impossible to accept decapitation comfortably; if it is discarding the corpse, it is not possible to throw it away at will, no matter whether it is hasty or not.There are only two possibilities for the posture of the corpse. One is that the murderer fainted the deceased when he beheaded and put it in such a posture for beheading, and the other is that the murderer felt guilty after beheading and put it for the deceased.

What kind of case would this be?

While thinking, Lu Li squatted down, wanting to see the wound on the neck of the deceased.Helplessly, the box was not there, and the wound could not be washed, so it was hard to see clearly.The deceased had been dead for a long time, his body was covered with maggots, his body was severely decomposed, black and red dirt was everywhere, mixed with dust, and he couldn't see his original appearance clearly.

Lu Li had no choice but to stand up again, "Report to the official."

"Ah?" Shen Wansha was a little taken aback, "Aren't you going to do an autopsy?"

"The current situation is inappropriate. And regardless of whether it is inspected or not, if the corpse is found, it will be reported to the authorities." Lu Li did not stay in front of the corpse for too long, and pulled Zhao Zhu and Shen Wansha back... The scene needed protection.

"Young master, you are a young uncle from the capital. You are familiar with the high-ranking people. You rented the summer resort here. Please send someone down the mountain. First, report to the official, and second, contact the owner of the village. The policemen should have something to ask." " Lu Li's brain was spinning quickly, "Brother Zhao and I will stay here to protect the scene and prevent unknown people or animals from coming to destroy it."

Shen Wansha blushed a little when he heard the word 'Little Uncle', and looked very uncomfortable.Lu Li noticed it and patted his head, "Isn't it good to take advantage of power? I always dream of power in my dreams. I want to make friends with the young master, and I still think that one day I will be a fake. Young master, please don't Don't give me this chance."

Shen Wansha knew that Lu Li was comforting him, but as long as Lu Li was not angry, he would have no temper at all, so he agreed happily.After answering, he gave Zhao Zhu a sideways look, and said in his heart that Xiao Lizi wanted to pretend to be a tiger, and that Prince Ping's style was better than his little uncle who was yelling at others, not at 01:30!

It's a pity that Xiao Lizi just likes him, not Prince Ping, hahahaha!

After Shen Wansha left, Lu Li and Zhao Zhu looked around the scene together.

This place is not too far from the city, Shen Wansha used his family's token to send the fastest carriage, and within two hours, the officials arrived.

Lu Li saw that he was still an acquaintance, "Wei Butou!"

Captain Wei cupped his hands solemnly, "Mr. Lu, where is the body?"

"Catcher Wei, please."

Catcher Wei took the lead to look at the corpse, frowning tightly, and then led the policemen to carefully survey the surroundings and make records. At the same time, someone lifted the wooden plank, put the corpse on it, and removed it.

"Mr. Lu," Wei Butou walked in front of Lu Li, and saluted with fists in his hands, "The office worker has been busy lately, and Mr. Yu is not here. If you don't mind, would you like to help me with the autopsy?"

"I can't ask for it," Lu Li said with a smile, "Even if Wei Butou doesn't mention it, I want to have the cheek to ask for a chance to participate."

"So, without further ado, sir, please follow me down the mountain."

"Please--"

……

There is a special autopsy room in the government office. The weather is hot, and ice is put in the room. After running all the way, Lu Li, who was a little sweaty, felt much more comfortable when he entered.The detectives came in carrying the wooden plank of the corpse, and a policeman in soap clothes was about to flush the corpse with a bucket of water.

"Wait a minute—" Lu Li didn't have time to turn over his work box, so he stopped immediately.

The guard was puzzled and looked at him in bewilderment.

Lu Li smiled and said, "The maggots on this corpse are also clues. Based on their size and characteristics, we may be able to deduce the time of death of the deceased. I am responsible for the corpse, and I will do the washing."

"But in the past, we had to clean up the corpses for the gentlemen..." The guard was a little apprehensive, so it's okay if he doesn't work?Will the higher-ups scold me if they find out?

Lu Li shook his head, "It's okay, I'll talk to Butou Wei."

The guard thought for a while and agreed, "Then there will be Mr. Lao." It is better not to work and get paid, and some choose who is willing to serve the corpse, which is disgusting and smelly.

Several people left quickly, Shen Wansha was a little worried, "Little Lizi, do you really want to do it yourself?"

"En." Lu Li nodded, and Gu Zi opened the box, took out the atractylodes saponins and lit it, "Master, do you want to help?"

Shen Wansha shook his head, then nodded again, with an extremely hesitant expression.

Lu Li looked amused, "Just now I discussed with Butou Wei. The corpse has no clothes on it, and the head is missing. It may be difficult to confirm the identity. I proposed an autopsy to learn more about the condition of the corpse, and Butou Wei agreed."

Shen Wansha's eyes lit up, "Autopsy, good job!"

This is to stay and watch.

Lu Li raised his eyebrows and said, "Just in case, I ask the young master to help me to be a witness. If anyone doubts it in the future, please show me the score of my uncle."

Shen Wansha immediately patted his chest, full of pride, "Leave it to me!" He also immediately ran over to take out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone from the box, "Young master personally help write the autopsy report!"

Lu Li expressed his gratitude very sincerely, "Thank you."

Shen Wansha smugly waved his hand to signal no thanks, and squinted at Zhao Zhu——so what if you are King Ping, Xiao Lizi relies on me, not you!

Zhao Zhu's eyebrows were raised high, dark mist surged in his slender eyes.

Lu Li wiped his hands with wine, dipped a little wine in his nose, took a slice of ginger in his mouth, put on his overalls and gloves, and finally approached the corpse with warm water, wine and vinegar, "Let's begin."

Shen Wansha cheered up immediately, stopped fighting with Zhao Zhu, and watched Lu Li's movements seriously.

Zhao Zhu also stood in the room where he could advance, attack, retreat, or defend. While listening to the sounds outside, he noticed if Lu Li needed help.

"Experiment—the deceased's abdomen was distended, the skin and flesh all over his body were uneven, there was a green spot of corruption on the back of the left shoulder, and there was a brownish-red leather-like spot on the inside of the left arm."

"The skin on the wrists and ankles is uneven, and there are traces of rope tying. The scar circle is extremely thin, less than half an inch, deep enough to grind the bone. The nails of the ten fingers are severely worn, and there is only blue-white powder, no soil stains."

"The cut surface of the scar on the neck is neat and smooth."

"The bones are dented, there are blood stains on them, and the remaining skin is slightly curled."

"Except for the neck wound, there were no obvious trauma marks on the body of the corpse. The sternum and ribs were exposed due to the decomposition of maggots. There were piles of white fly eggs the size of soybeans. There were maroon pupal shells on the perineum..."

……

While examining the corpse, Lu Li shared his analysis with Shen Wansha and Zhao Zhu.

The leathery spot is an injury before death. The deceased was dragged while lying on the ground, or rubbed against the wall vigorously when being dragged, resulting in skin damage.

The traces of the deceased's hands and feet prove that he was bound and abducted by someone, and the tools used were special, extremely thin, and definitely not ordinary ropes.The deceased had struggled vigorously, and there must be blue and white bricks and tiles in the place where the body was found. The mountain top where the body was found was probably just a dumping place. When the deceased was thrown there, he was completely unconscious and unable to struggle.

The person who beheaded the deceased moved steadily and coldly without any hesitation. To be able to cut off a person's head and neck so neatly, the murderer either knew martial arts, or had great strength, and the weapon he used was very sharp.

The deceased was beheaded alive and suffered great pain.

Dead bodies in the wild in summer usually attract flies to lay eggs about one hour after death. The eggs can hatch into maggots after seven to eight hours, and the maggots will mature and pupate after four or five days. After a week, the adult flies break out of their shells and fly out. , leaving the chrysalis.

The pupal shell was found on the corpse, and it was fresh brown-red, and there was no gray-black collapse, indicating that the deceased died about ten days ago.

……

After the inspection, Lu Li rushed to remove the maggot pupa shells from the corpse little by little, ready to be dissected.

The floor of the autopsy room was not bricked, it was made of dirt, black in color, with a little dust, and the pupal shells fell to the ground and it was hard to see clearly, but the white maggots were still wriggling, which was very disgusting.

Shen Wansha watched these disgusting things fall from the corpse, and couldn't help but get goose bumps all over his body.

He was in a bad mood, and his expression brought it out.When Lu Li saw it, he comforted him in a warm voice, "Don't worry, young master, maggots only like corrupted things, and don't like living people, so they won't crawl on you."

Shen Wansha's scalp was numb, and he waved his little hand forward, "Please don't say anything!"

Lu Li laughed, and turned to Zhao Zhu, "Brother Zhao, help me get the solution—" Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, a delicate and small scalpel was already placed in his palm.

He raised his head in surprise, and saw Zhao Zhu's slender pupils glowing black, as deep as the vast starry sky, "But you want this?"

Even the voice is deep and rhythmic, very nice!

Lu Li's heart skipped a beat.

There is often this kind of tacit understanding between Zhao Zhu and Zhao Zhu, which cannot be explained clearly, and it seems that Zhao Zhu can always know what he wants at any time...

"...Well." Lu Li's eyes drooped slightly, "Thank you."

Zhao Zhu stared closely at Lu Li's lips, "No need." What he wanted was not a verbal thank you.

The gaze cast on his face was as hot as fire, and the roots of Lu Li's ears were a little red. He forced himself to look at the dead man's bloody neck, chest and abdomen, and reminded himself what timing it was, and his heartbeat slowly slowed down.

"I'm going to do an autopsy," he said.

Zhao Zhu took a step forward, "I'll help you."

Unfortunately, the results of the autopsy were of little help.Firstly, the corpse was severely decomposed, and what could be seen was limited; secondly, the performance of the internal organs of the deceased was consistent with the time of death, and there was nothing special about it.

The deceased showed no signs of poisoning, and the internal organs were not damaged and hemorrhaged. The only thing worth noting was that the stomach and small intestine of the deceased were both empty.

It means that the last meal of the deceased has passed more than eight hours before death.
