Go to ancient times to catch fast

When Chu Xiaoyun returned to the arresting room, he asked someone to get Yu He's autopsy records.He flipped through the records, looking at the autopsy reports that others thought could close the case.It said that there was a mark on Yi Ruzhen's left arm that was suspected of being bitten by a mosquito; the bloodshot eyes were suspected to be caused by the excitement in front of her.But the records also clearly record that Yi Ruzhen died of suffocation.In other words, she was hanged, and the rest of the discovery was irrelevant to the cause of death.However, if one is determined, one can force a confession through torture just by relying on bloodshot eyes.But Wei Jinghan is obviously not good at this; of course, it is also possible that he is not willing to bring this kind of game, or it is not yet time to bring it to the surface.

Chu Xiaoyun thought of Yi Ruzhen's father, that honest countryman, what prompted him to sue?This is very similar to when Xiong Zhu's mother came to the Yamen to complain.Chu Xiaoyun felt that maybe he could talk to Yi Ruzhen's father again, and maybe he would explain the reason; even if he concealed it for various reasons, he could still judge whether he was instigated by others.

Chu Xiaoyun went to the stable to get his own horse, but without a cart, he rode straight to Yi Ruzhen's family.

The Yi family is considered a middle-class family in that area. The neighbors nearby once said that before Yi Ruzhen flew to the branch, his family was a well-known poor household in the village.Chu Xiaoyun believed in this, otherwise he would not have sent his daughter to the Wang family to be a maid.Looking at the current situation of the Wang family, it seems that they are enjoying the benefits of their daughter.

When Chu Xiaoyun arrived at Yi's house, Yi's father was working in the field, and someone led the way to the field to find him. What he saw was that Yi's father was sitting on the ridge of the field smoking dry cigarettes, with a worried look on his face.Chu Xiaoyun glanced at the field, it was a bit messy, not like a farmer who worked all year round.

"Old man Yi, the people who arrested the house are looking for you." The person who led the way for Chu Xiaoyun shouted.

Father Yi raised his head and looked over when he heard the words, and saw that it was Chu Xiaoyun, panic flashed in his eyes, and then he tried to hide it.

"Chu Butou came, but Zhen'er's case has some clues?" Yi's father knocked off the cigarette ash, put away the cigarette stick, and came over to ask each other with a hoe, but his expression was a little uneasy.

Seeing the other party's reaction in his eyes, Chu Xiaoyun began to think about it: "Forget it, so I need to confirm some details with you today, old man."

True or false, Chu Xiaoyun decided to attack the heart first.

"Oh." Yi's father seemed even more troubled.There is panic, relief, and desire.

Qiuhu's power was too strong, and there was no place for shelter around him, so Chu Xiaoyun looked around and said to Yi's father, "Why don't we chat in another place?"

"It's the old man who was rude. Go home, let's sit at home." Yi's father took Chu Xiaoyun to the house, and the neighbors around saw Yi's father walking towards their house with a head catcher, and they all showed signs of watching the excitement. look.

"Who told you to go to the Yamen to beat the drums to complain?" Chu Xiaoyun cut straight to the point.

Yi's father obviously didn't expect Chu Xiaoyun to be so direct, and his expression changed drastically in an instant, but he still hesitated and defended: "No, no one. I went by myself."

Chu Xiaoyun looked at him: "Concealing the truth is a crime and an accomplice."

Father Yi's expression became even more flustered, but he still insisted, "I went by myself."

The truth is already obvious.The job has not yet arrived, and the confession of accusation and prosecution alone cannot prove the other party's serious crimes. Chu Xiaoyun doesn't want to force an old farmer.He got up and said, "You might as well think about it carefully. If that person is for your own good, he will definitely not let you do this."

Ai Aidi, Yi's father, sent Chu Xiaoyun out of the house during the period, and kept talking about himself as a countryman, who had never read a book or seen anything.Chu Xiaoyun just listened and didn't respond.

After two days without any progress like this, Yu He came with his father, who was his wife.Chu Xiaoyun's spirit was shaken, he simply prepared a light meal, and planned to let Father Yu start to work.Then he explained: "Uncle, I'm really sorry, I have to trouble you to do some work first, and I'll take care of you after the autopsy is over."

Father Yu waved his hand: "I'm not busy with the meal, I've already used it on the way here. Wait for me to drink a glass of water, and then I can start after cleaning my hands."

"Then... that's fine." Father Yu was willing to do an autopsy as soon as possible, which was what Chu Xiaoyun wished for.This Yi Ruzhen's body has been stored for a few days. Although it is stored in an ice cellar, the ancient refrigeration equipment is not as good as modern ones, and the body has a tendency to decay. Naturally, Chu Xiaoyun hopes to draw a conclusion as soon as possible.

Father Yu changed into the special clothes he wore for the autopsy, cleaned his hands, and started working.He wiped the whole body of the corpse with vinegar, and described the state of the corpse one by one, while Yu He listened carefully and took notes.

All operations are dispatched with the arresting house, strictly speaking, it is also under the jurisdiction of the arresting house.Chu Xiaoyun arranged for an apprentice to be Yu's father to wipe his sweat, and he also stood by, in order to know the truth as soon as possible.

Two hours passed, and the little apprentice wiped off Father Yu's sweat for the last time, and Father Yu exhaled: "Let's do this for now."

? ?

Chu Xiaoyun asked puzzledly: "Uncle, what does this mean?"

Father Yu said: "The lump on her left arm has a small hole in the middle, which is undoubtedly caused by mosquito bites. But the strange thing is that she has been dead for so many days, and instead of shrinking, the lump has expanded. , I don’t know why. This old man has never seen such a situation, so I don’t want to speak nonsense.”

Chu Xiaoyun compared the autopsy conclusions of Yu He and his son. Yu Hedao suspected that he was bitten by a mosquito, while his father believed that he was undoubtedly bitten by a mosquito, but the lumps where the mosquito tentacles pierced did not subside, which is really suspicious.You can still see the difference here.

"I wonder if there are other places that need special attention?" Chu Xiaoyun asked.

"Her eyeballs were bloodshot, and her expression was suspicious, indicating that she had been attacked before, and the person who attacked her was an acquaintance; the heel was congested, which should be caused by struggling that day..."

Before Chu Xiaoyun raised any questions, Yu He asked first: "I also wiped her whole body with wine and vinegar, why didn't there be such a phenomenon today."

Father Yu smiled slightly: "She was struggling that day because she was on a soft object, and the impact was not strong, so the degree of blood vessel rupture was not enough in a short period of time, so it didn't show. You can also look here. This is the flesh and blood of the joints. Subcutaneous hemorrhages can be seen, which can be corroborated by marks on the heels."

Yu He pouted: "Then it's a matter of time, it's not that I didn't check it out."

Father Yu was noncommittal and continued: "She must have been severely traumatized or stimulated by drugs during her lifetime, otherwise her eyeballs would not be so congested, and the meridians on this side of her head would protrude."

As soon as these words came out, Chu Xiaoyun was puzzled.In this way, isn't it true that Yi Ruzhen has postpartum emotional disorders?Does that not agree with what the Wang family said?The Wang family didn't study medicine, so there was no problem at all in terms of appearance.Even so, how to explain the bruise on the heel?

Just when Chu Xiaoyun was puzzled, someone rushed to report: "Captain, the old master is back!"

"What?" Chu Xiaoyun rushed out in shock. After walking two steps, he realized that he had lost his composure. He hurried back and ordered people to go to meet Lao Zuo first. He apologized to Father Yu before leaving.

Yu He said tolerantly and understandingly: "Go ahead, maybe he can detect something that I can't, so as to solve your doubts."

Chu Xiaoyun welcomed him directly into the autopsy room, told the current situation as he walked, and confessed: "Senior, the situation is really urgent, so I will trouble you."

The old man walked tremblingly, with tears in his eyes: "It's okay. I didn't expect that I could come back and go back to my old job. What is there to be dissatisfied with? Go, let's go and see the evidence first. "

The old Wu Zuo met Yu's father in the autopsy room, and got busy after washing his hands and face.Chu Xiaoyun looked at Lao Wuzuo and Yu's father, two people who were not much different in age, their mental state was far worse.It can be seen that these three years of exile have caused damage to people!

After a long time of testing, almost another hour passed.The old Wu Zuo straightened up, read the autopsy records of Yu He and his son, and said: "I agree with Yu Wu Zuo on the rest. Another humble opinion is the lump on this arm. It is indeed caused by mosquito bites, but it is not ordinary. It came from a mosquito bite. It came from the bite of a bug called a miasma."

"Miasma? What is this?" Without waiting for Chu Xiaoyun to ask, Father Yu asked, "I absolutely do not have such insects in Qingzhou Prefecture."

The old Wuzuo nodded: "That's right, this kind of bug doesn't belong to me in the Central Plains, it comes from the miasma in the Lingnan area. I was sent to Danzhou, where I saw several cases of miasmas biting people to death." .”

Chu Xiaoyun took a deep breath.How did an insect from thousands of kilometers away get to Hejing County and bite Yi Ruzhen?It was obvious that he had killed.

But why this miasma is so powerful, Chu Xiaoyun wants to ask clearly.

The old Wu wrote: "These miasmas are formed by the decay of the dead animals and plants in the Lingnan mountains and forests. They are extremely toxic. Because the Lingnan land is permeated with moisture all the year round, it is very easy to produce miasmas. Miasmas living in this environment Insects, inhaling this kind of poisonous gas all the year round, the poison is naturally amazing. Where it bites, the miasma poison accumulates, so at the beginning of the bite, the lumps in the bitten place are extremely difficult to dissipate. Generally, it will not cause immediate death, but wait for the toxin to penetrate into the internal organs of the person and then die slowly."

"Because miasma is colorless and odorless, there are no signs of general poisoning after people die from poisoning. In places where miasmas are unknown, it can be said to kill people invisible. Of course, odorless is a relative term. In fact, it still has a smell, that is. The faint smell of soil is easily overlooked in Lingnan, let alone in the Central Plains where miasmas do not appear."

Hearing this, Chu Xiaoyun said again: "If a person dies at the beginning of the bite, the swelling is extremely difficult to dissipate, so does the swelling on her arm mean that she was poisoned not long ago? So, she was not poisoned to death, or died of suffocation ?”

The old Wuzuo nodded: "It seems that there are more than one party who want to kill her. I agree with Yu Wuzuo on this point."

Chu Xiaoyun's heart skipped a beat: "How can you explain the congestion and subcutaneous bleeding on your body?"

Yu's father said: "It should be caused by the murderer strangling his neck and struggling on the bed, and the lack of strength to hang him on the beam and dragging him."

After a pause, he continued: "Only the bed has such a large area of ​​soft material, the perpetrator should not have much strength."

In this way... Chu Xiaoyun recalled what the Wang family said that day, it was a girl of their family who first discovered Yi Ruzhen's death.

"The maid who first discovered Yi Ruzhen's death..." Chu Xiaoyun suddenly stood up, and said unhappily to the waiter next to him, "Hurry up, go to Wang's house to get someone!"
