The first work of the imperial prison

Shen Jiang is not stupid to the end, the commander specially reminded the gloves and tools, he knew that today's matter can be done, Master Jiao's autopsy skills must shine, it's just a matter of time, sooner or later.

Just now when he came back from outside, he has already asked, the commander has not returned yet, but the order has been given, and he will arrive within half an hour, so of course he has to take Young Master Jiao over first, but this time there is no need to worry, one step at a time It's too late to move past.

In the workshop room, there are two boxes, made of boxwood, neither of which is particularly large, one holds all kinds of knives, bladed, pointed, flat-headed, all kinds, all carefully drawn by Ye Baiting before The other is divided and layered, with vinegar, distiller's grains, ginger, shallots, white plums, pepper, salt, etc., and so on.

Shen Jiang first invited Young Master Jiao to the first box, and let him see: "How about it, isn't your forging skill good?"

Ye Baiting was indeed a little surprised. He knew that his handwriting was not very good, let alone painting, so he marked the size clearly. Shen Jiang traced and changed it for him, and asked him when he changed it. The expectation is not that high, as long as it can be used, but the large and small dissection tools in front of him are too familiar, just like...the ones in his dissection room.

The shape is standard, the size is precise, the curvature of each edge is just right, and the handle - the grip is also very comfortable.

The thumb lightly rubbed against the angled blade, making a crisp sound, pleasant to the ear, familiar as if he was at the original place, doing the original job, and hadn't gone anywhere.

"good."

"Of course, it doesn't matter who did it!"

Shen Jiang was very proud, and took Ye Baiting to look at the second box, but he was a little confused: "Look at the things you asked me to prepare, they are wine, salt, onions, ginger and garlic, what do you want to see?" The corpse or the kitchen?"

Ye Baiting probably looked at the quantity and smelled it: "...you will know when the time comes."

As the weather gets colder, the signs of corpses will also change. How to reproduce hidden traces is already the primary skill that forensic doctors have mastered.

Then, he saw a pair of gloves.

The texture is dense and delicate. It is not cotton at first glance, nor does it look like animal skin. It is very thin and has good ductility. It looks very beautiful on the outside: "Give it to me?"

Shen Jiang: "Well, our commander is very interesting. You didn't mention it, so I prepared it for you."

Ye Baiting tried to put it on, the tentacles were slightly cool, and then warmed up in an instant, the gloves fit tightly to the fingers, and they would not twist around even when moving, unlike medical latex gloves, the feeling of using them would not be much worse.

"It's comfortable, doesn't it look good?" Shen Jiangke was sour, "I collected five kinds of silk from the extremely cold place in the north, and the embroiderer carefully carried it for three to five months to get this pair. It is durable and invulnerable to water and fire. , can avoid all kinds of poisons, soak it in wine when it is dirty, it will be clean as new, and it looks good!"

What a wonderful thing, few in Jin Yiwei could get it, if it wasn't for Young Master Jiao, he wouldn't have had the chance to see it.

Ye Baiting hummed: "It's a pleasant surprise." He turned his head and smiled at Shen Jiang, "Thank you."

How pretty does Young Master Jiao look when he smiles?Anyway, just imagine your favorite scenery, the peach blossoms in March, the warm sun in April, the rainbow after the summer rain, the first snow in winter, the bright moon and the Milky Way, and the sky full of stars are all in these eyes.

It seems that when he smiles, you can see the scenery of the four seasons, the fleeting years, so warm, so close.

Shen Jiang stepped back a few steps, turned his head outward, could this be something he could see!

"No, it's none of my business, it's ordered by the commander." You have to laugh at him!I can't be sorry for my daughter-in-law!

Glancing at the door, he was puzzled: "I said, why is this dog still following?"

Ye Baiting put down his gloves: "Maybe...you Jin Yiwei have been busy recently?"

Shen Jiang thought for a while: "After the Wuxiang chain is cleared, I really don't have to be so busy."

"Perhaps there is something in the prison that attracts it." Ye Baiting asked Shen Jiang, "How is the case going?"

Shen Jiang was tired from standing, so he pulled up a chair and sat down: "This Shen Huarong can be a steed, one is that the conditions of the family were good at that time, and the second is that he is good-looking, with a sweet mouth and can coax people, and he is serving the horse in front of the saddle. It took more than half a year for the princess to capture her heart and embrace her beauty. Do you know who Princess Yun'an is?"

Ye Baiting shook his head: "I don't know."

"There are quite a few girls in the royal family, but the princess who has been awarded the title is only this one. She has caught the attention of the empress dowager at a young age, and often goes to Ningshou Palace to serve her. The empress dowager likes it very much..." Shen Jiang was mysterious Xixi leaned over and lowered his voice, "You don't know, the situation in the palace is not normal. There is a wave of empress dowagers, a wave of empress dowagers, a wave of empress dowagers, and a wave of emperors. Three legs stand together! The two sides are facing each other, once the first emperor leaves, the new emperor ascends the throne, adding more strength, isn't this more subtle?"

"Our North Town Fusi has solved such a big case. This Wuxiang poisonous chain, the highest official involved in the investigation is Chang Hongwen. No matter how many investigations can be made, it may be that someone with a heart is doing things in a low-key way, trying to figure it out slowly. Not too involved, Liang Wei's account book is different. Liang Wei is rich and can earn money, but buying black incense costs more money, and that's why he gave birth to that flowery intestines, extorting bribes, embezzlement, selfishness and selfish cliques... Among the two wives , I folded a few in, and I have been keeping a low profile recently, not asking about foreign affairs, otherwise the county horse case must not be silent, and the empress dowager has to intervene and let the princess decide!"

He finished speaking with a face full of pride, waiting for Young Master Jiao to praise him in surprise, when he saw the other party's face was serious and speechless.

Ye Baiting: "No wonder you can only be the general banner."

What the hell?

Shen Jiang disagreed: "I have a hundred households now!"

"Oh, Baihu. You have already reached Baihu, and you don't have any brains yet. Do you want to be demoted back?"

"you……"

Forget it, Shen Jiang touched his nose: "Isn't this the commander who hasn't come yet? Why can't we talk about other things? What are you in a hurry for?"

Ye Baiting: "The case is urgent."

Shen Jiang is completely speechless: "In short, this Shen Huarong only knows sweet talk and flirtatious, and has no self-motivated. The lord also understands, this thing is an embroidered pillow, the relationship between the couple is not good, and they don't even have a child, and I heard that the princess has other lovers..."

"Shen Huarong didn't come home last night. He has a personal assistant named Luo An who waits everywhere. He basically never left him. He made it very clear that Shen Huarong is a frequent visitor of Miaoyinfang, and he basically visits every two days. I went there once, I didn’t stay until night, I went yesterday, but I didn’t stay late as usual, maybe I was in a bad mood, I ordered a large table of dishes, but I didn’t eat a few dishes, this kid said this, The name of the dish was given to me on the spot...but I didn't check this place, the commander went there in person, I have to ask him about the specific situation, I don't know."

Ye Baiting: "Is it sick? Has the deceased consulted a doctor?"

Shen Jiang nodded: "I found it. The doctor's name is Chang Shan. He is gentle. The small medical clinic is not very popular, but the business is good. He is considered a little master among the people. He can cure any disease, and the medical clinic closes late. I Following Luo An's confession, when asked about the disease, Chang Shan remembered it very clearly, saying that about five days ago, Shen Huarong went to see him for the disease, and the first time he prescribed medicine, but after seeing the symptoms, the disease flared up. It’s not only five days, but it’s going to be ten days. I’m sure I’m feeling uncomfortable. I don’t understand why I didn’t seek medical attention sooner. I’m probably embarrassed to say it? But as a doctor, I have to ask about the medical history. Chang Shan even hinted that the disease is contagious. It’s best to remind those who have close relationships to see a doctor as soon as possible, but Shen Huarong didn’t say where he suspected he got the disease, and he didn’t mention anyone else. He just asked if this disease is common and whether it can be cured by taking the same medicine, doctor Of course, different people have different symptoms, you still have to take a close look before you can prescribe their own prescriptions..."

"There won't be any more. I asked Luo An that his master didn't feel strange recently. He didn't think about any special people or special things. He said that this disease is what can be called special. The illness is not easy to tell outside, and it is not easy to cure. Shen Huarong has become a little bit angry recently. He has an idea after a while, and often repeats it. When he gets anxious, he will drive people away, saying that it is more comfortable to stay alone. Last night, Luo An Accompanying him after seeing his illness, the carriage hadn’t gone far before it stopped suddenly, and decided not to go home, but to sleep in my own shop next door.”

Ye Baiting: "My own shop?"

Shen Jiang: "Yes, my own shop, his family is not poor, and Shen Huarong became a county horse again, and has a lot of private property. Didn't you say that the deceased must live not far away in his nightgown and Chinese clothes? Really, that road at that time , turn the carriage to the side, there is a small street, his shop is on that small street, very close to Ganquan Street where the crime happened!"

As he spoke, he also took a piece of paper, brushed a few strokes, and drew a simple schematic diagram: "Here, that's it. It looks like there are different streets and houses separated by each other, but the actual distance is not far..."

The two were talking, and the air was silent, and the hatred came.

Shen Jiang is convinced when it comes to the commander's aura, no matter what time or place, as soon as he appears, Custodian is the most eye-catching one in the crowd, no matter what you are doing, you will definitely look up at him!

Even the dog that was barking at him just backed up a few steps to give way to the commander, not to mention barking, the coward's tail was pinched, that is to say, the man didn't hook his fingers, otherwise the dog would definitely Rush over and let others do it.

You said that this dog is also, so scared, why is he still staying here?Yes, he knows that Young Master Jiao is good-looking, but humans and dogs are different. Could it be that beauty is so useful, and dogs like good-looking ones too?

Qiu Yiqing was not like Shen Jiang's bunch of nonsense, he just threw over a dozen papers, which were confession records.

It happened to be next to Ye Baiting, he took it and opened it, Shen Jiang leaned his head over and watched it with him.

Qiu Yiqing went to Miaoyinfang, and the people she asked were also from Miaoyinfang. The girls replied very unanimously, saying that the building never accepts customers.Shen Huarong is a frequent visitor, and there are several girls he knows well, and they often listen to their songs, but each of them says that they have no personal relationship with him, and they don't have that kind of disease, not even every time Shen Huarong comes over, they have time to spend time with each other Accompanying, if you want to say that the only one who will be there every time is the musician Shi Mi.

Shi Mi has good looks, excellent skills, and elegant appearance. He was dug out from other places with a lot of money in the workshop. Now I don’t know how many people outside are jealous and pay a lot of money to poach him, but he is a man, and he is only in charge of playing the piano every day. , to accompany the girls, even if Shen Huarong came back, he would be playing the piano, and the two of them didn't know each other at all, and they didn't talk much.

As a luthier, Shi Mi's time is very transparent every day, not to mention private meetings with outsiders, the time he can rest alone is limited, and there is no disease on his body, how could it be related to the murder case?

As for Shen Huarong's enemy - there is no direction yet.

Qiu Xunqing: "The distance between Miaoyinfang and the place where the crime happened is a bit subtle. We need a more precise time of death to determine whether these people can be ruled out."

Shen Jiang was a little surprised, no, in such a short time, you still walked this road all over again?

Ye Baiting knew that time was limited, so it would be nice to be able to do this: "Footprints?"

Qiu Xunqing: "It's more like a man, with a height of seven feet, thin, and weighing no more than 120 catties. If the murderer is a woman, this person must be thoughtful, wearing men's shoes, and a woman has men's shoes—"

She can still come out and walk around, she is definitely not a boudoir girl.

Ye Baiting nodded, lowered his eyes to think, but only pondered for a moment, then looked at the scalpel in the box: "Then shall I start now?"

Hatred and green jaws: "Yes."

Ye Baiting moved.

Today's autopsy was too irritating, so he found Atractylodes saponins from the workshop, lit it in a pottery basin, and then made a mask, put on gloves, and chose a scalpel——

Shen Jiang was a little scared when he saw him standing in front of the corpse with a knife. He is not an uninformed person, it is not that he has never seen someone put a knife on a person. There are many execution rooms, but this time it is the dead. died……

Looking left and right, he took two steps back by himself, and the old man Shanglu, a nail dealer in Wuzuofang, appeared out of nowhere. Corpse, what are you going to cook for him...

And the dog by the wall doesn't bark, run or talk, aren't you afraid?There are knives on there!

When Ye Baiting worked, he had no other distractions. He didn't care about other people's attention, and only concentrated on his own work. This autopsy was for a more accurate time of death. He had already thought about checking the contents of his stomach.

Then open the chest.

Press the scalpel on both shoulders of the deceased, start from the collarbone, and gather to the middle of the chest, make a "Y" incision, pass through the chest, and cut straight from the center of the abdomen, observe whether there is congestion, hematoma in the subcutaneous tissue of the four persons, and then Carry out cutting and separation of each muscle layer tissue.

His hands are very steady, and the speed is neither fast nor slow. The whole process is smooth and smooth, and the picture is not ugly at all, and it can even be called elegant. The corpse is fresh, and the smell is not so strong. Shouldn't be too offensive...

But Shen Jiang didn't know why, looking at the cut open stomach of the deceased, there was no blood coming out, and his feet were a little soft.

"what?"

"What's wrong?" Qiu Yiqing was not like a worthless Baihu, guessing that Ye Baiting must have discovered something.

Ye Baiting's scalpel stopped at the esophagus: "There are burn marks here. If a person has stomach problems, such as frequent stomach acid regurgitation, similar marks will be left in the esophagus. ...not more than half a month?"

Qiu Yiqing asked Shen Jiang: "Did the deceased's chief follower ever say that he had a bad appetite recently?"

Shen Jiang: "I don't think so? Luo An only said that the master was in a very bad mood because of the willow disease, and his mind changed quickly. Maybe not again..."

Ye Baiting: "This is the change in appetite."

Maybe the deceased's reaction was not strong, or he didn't want to say it, so it became a little strange in the eyes of outsiders.

Qiu Yiqing: "It's not because of the flowers and willows?"

Ye Baiting: "When people get sick, they will feel depressed, and their appetite may also become bad, but occasionally they don't want to eat, and it doesn't cause burning of the esophagus. There must be other reasons for this symptom to appear."

He looked down at the dead man's nails carefully, and carefully checked around the throat... Could it be some kind of toxin?

After careful inspection, the tip of his knife went down: "I'm going to take out the stomach."

Hatred and green jaws: "Yes."

Shen Jiang didn't understand why there was a special reminder, just cut it, isn't it just for the sake of it today, and the next moment he understood that this kind of early warning is still useful.

Ye Baiting lifted the umbilical peritoneum with hooked tweezers, put the index finger and middle finger of his left hand in, lifted it up with a little strength, stretched the two fingers apart, switched his right hand back to the scalpel, cut from the middle of the peritoneum, and separated the marginal muscle layer. The abdominal cavity of the deceased was fully exposed.

Spleen, stomach, liver, intestines...

Shen Jiang covered her mouth, her appetite felt a little uncomfortable, she wanted to vomit.

When Ye Baiting scissored the dead man's stomach out, he couldn't bear it anymore... This is a human stomach, human, it was picked neatly, with smooth edges, better than pig butcher's skills, yes Isn't it kind of scary?Young Master Jiao's hands are still red and white, sticky and wet... What the hell is on them?

Ye Baiting took off his stomach and put it on the platform beside him: "I'm going to cut it up."

The next moment, with a light stroke of the scalpel, the stomach pouch opened, and the contents slipped out...

"vomit--"

Shen Jiang rushed out fiercely.

Where can the stuff in the stomach smell good?It is unbearable for a living person to vomit, let alone a dead person!

"Don't worry about him." Qiu Yiqing's expression was calm, as if the mountain had collapsed before the collapse of the mountain.

Listen, listen, is this human speech!Shen Jiang leaned on the wall, never thought that he would have such a weak day... Looking left and right, he was the only one who ran out and vomited. His eyes are still staring at Young Master Jiao, as if Young Master Jiao is its territory, no matter what he does or does not do, as long as he can see it, you say taste?Although I am a dog who smells better, what's wrong?It's just a little smell, what a fuss.

The old man named Shanglu also forgot about his superiority and inferiority, and he was almost squeezed in front of the commander!His eyes were shining brightly, and he was gearing up, afraid that he might not see clearly enough, and the smell would not be strong enough!

But he can't just stay outside and not go back, he has to follow up on the case he brought.

Thanks to the exhaust system inside and outside the prison, especially the top point, it seems to be okay after getting used to it?

Shen Jiang rinsed his mouth with tea and returned to the morgue, Ye Baiting had already begun to draw conclusions——

"... If so, the time of death of the deceased must be at the time of Chou."
