Princess, how am I from you?

"I want to do an autopsy."

This was the decision Guan Xin had made for himself after a long period of psychological construction.The autopsy technology in this era is not perfect. She was a loyal fan of forensic dramas for a while. Although she was terrified by the corpse yesterday, it was only because she had never seen a real corpse. in the theoretical stage.I have to thank Uncle Qin and Uncle Song Ci for having this hobby. One is a modern forensic doctor and novelist, and the other is the originator of professional forensic medicine. She fell in love with this kind of film and television works only after watching their TV series. I have read Xiangjiang's law and politics series countless times, and in order to know more about it, I specially found books related to forensic medicine and studied it for a while, and then quietly followed my classmates from the medical school to join the forensic medicine department for more than a year. Theoretical courses, but because she was really afraid of corpses and couldn't take the anatomy class, she had to give up and continue to follow up. So her theoretical knowledge was okay, but her practical knowledge was zero.

Yuzhang stood up in amazement, "Are you really going?" He was so scared last night that he is going to have an autopsy today?Are you crazy?

Guan Xin nodded, she didn't have any evidence to prove her innocence, she could only find evidence from the corpse, as long as it proved that Wang Dali committed suicide rather than poisoning, or found traces of Wang Wu's mother's suicide, her suspicion would be cleared Well, after all, one must pay attention to motives when killing people. She has no reason to kill Wang Dali, whom she doesn't even know, for no reason, and she won't kill the remaining three at this juncture to give herself eye drops.

"Miss knows autopsy?" Seeing Yuzhang standing up, Shen Congwen also stood up, more because of surprise, after all, no ordinary woman would dare to do this.

"I understand." Guan Xin said with a guilty conscience.

Yuzhang had a skeptical expression, but she didn't stop her. Based on her understanding of Guan Xin, Guan Xin is not a random person. She must have a reason for doing so. But as for the method of autopsy, she is skeptical. A serious girl would understand such things.

It stands to reason that Guan Xin should not be allowed to touch the corpse. The corpse is now considered physical evidence, but Shen Congwen also wants to end this embarrassing case quickly. He has already thought about it. As long as Guan Xin can be cleared of suspicion, the case will be over. , that family was wiped out, and no one would pursue the cause of death any longer. It would be over if it was dragged into an unsolved case. As for the suicide of the mother and child, it was naturally not Guan Xin's fault.

When people from Dali Temple came to the government office, Guan Xin was seriously making preparations in the morgue.

"It's just nonsense, who allowed her to do this." The person who spoke was the young minister of Dali Temple. He was ordered by his superior, the minister of Dali Temple, to investigate the case.

"My subordinate Shen Congwen, I have met Lord Shaoqing." Shen Congwen walked out from the side.

Guan Xin stayed at the door of the morgue for quite a while, and finally mustered up the courage to come in. Before she could start, she was startled by the roar, and her hairs all stood up.He stared at him angrily, he couldn't speak well if he had something to say, so why not yell.

"Who is this woman and why is she making trouble here? This is the key evidence in the case. If it is destroyed, what should you do?"

Guan Xin walked up to this so-called Shaoqing. Although he was smiling, his aura was not inferior to that Shaoqing at all, and he asked, "Who are you? Why are you shouting here? Spread the word." What is the system?"

"You, presumptuous."

"My lord, this is the shop owner of Juxian Tower, Miss Guan, who is also the defendant in this case. Miss, this is the young minister of Dali Temple, Mr. Xu Wentao." Shen Congwen explained quickly in the middle.

Guan Xin said oh, Dali Temple Shaoqing is equivalent to the vice president of the Supreme Court, and his official position is indeed not small. "The little girl is blind, doesn't know you, and still hopes you will forgive me. Then, Lord Shen, I'll start now, and please make a record."

"You..." Xu Wentao still wanted to stop him, but Shen Congwen grabbed him and whispered something in his ear, Xu Wentao was a little angry, but he didn't stop him.Because Shen Congwen told him that Princess Yuzhang was in the back hall, still waiting to answer.

Fortunately, it was winter, and the corpse hadn't emitted any smell yet. Guan Xin took a deep breath before mustering up the courage to lift off the white cloth that covered him. Resisting the urge to turn his head away, he forced himself to look at the corpse. She had to examine it carefully now. In order to cleanse myself of my grievances, I put on the gloves provided by the foreman, and carefully recalled the steps of the autopsy in my mind. First, I started to check from the head, bent down, and touched it bit by bit. "The skull is complete." , no obvious trauma. There is trauma to the brow bone, and the scars are old and not fatal."

"Isn't that nonsense, this person died of poisoning, of course it's not the fatal injury." Wu Zuo sneered a little beside him.

Guan Xin gave him a cold look. Although he is an elderly person, he can't pretend to be old. "There are traces of pinching fingers on both sides of the cheeks." Only when it is fully opened can it barely reach the position of the finger mark, and her finger pulp is also a circle smaller than the mark, obviously this should be a pair of men's hands. "It is preliminarily determined that the perpetrator is a man."

"My lord, this trace was left by my subordinates. During the autopsy yesterday, I opened the mouth of the deceased for examination. This trace should have been left at that time." Wu Zuo looked at the finger marks and explained to Shen Congwen.After a person died, he gritted his teeth tightly. He had to spend a lot of effort yesterday to open the mouth of the deceased.

Guan Xin ignored Wu Zuo's words, blocked his mouth for a while, and continued to move his hands. He had gradually forgotten the feeling of nausea, and opened the dead man's mouth. With his neck exposed, he sneered and said, "Did you also make the traces here? The inside of the deceased's mouth was dark black. It is suspected that the deceased had taken poison, but he is not sure whether it was before or after death. Further inspection is needed." Ignore that Surprised, Wu Zuo pointed to the neck of the deceased and said to the clerk next to him: "There are finger marks on both sides of the neck, and the traces of the finger marks are blue and purple. It is preliminarily determined that the neck of the deceased was pinched hard before his death."

The Shaoqing of Dali Temple still had some doubts at first, but seeing Guan Xin was methodical and logical, his frowning brows slowly loosened, and he was serious and focused.And the assistant next to him was indeed frowning, sweat slowly dripping from the corner of his forehead, he probably didn't strangle the neck of the deceased yesterday, because he didn't need to do that, that's the mark. . .

"Please bring the silver needle." Guan Xin looked at Wu Zuo. Wu Zuo was a little reluctant, but under the gaze of everyone, he didn't dare to neglect, and took out a silver needle from his toolbox.

Guan Xin thanked him, took it, and carefully inserted it into the esophagus on the neck of the deceased. After the silver needle was injected, the tip of the needle turned black.After washing the silver needles, she inserted the needles into the deceased's stomach again, but the needle tip did not change color. "Everyone, please see that the needle didn't change color, which means that the deceased's stomach was not poisoned, but it was indeed poisonous in the deceased's esophagus, so I suspect that this Wang Dali was killed first, and then the poison was injected into the body. Finally, because the person was dead at the time and could not swallow, the poison only flowed to the neck and did not flow into the stomach. Therefore, his death had nothing to do with the food and drink in Juxian Building. It was clearly homicide. And then I planted it on Juxianlou, whether it was framed or blackmailed, and I asked the adults to decide for the daughter of the people, and return my restaurant's innocence." The reason why she came to a conclusion so quickly was because she saw the finger marks on her mouth and the sides of her neck. The location of the finger marks was guessed.She has seen this trick before.And she insisted on doing the autopsy because when she saw the corpse yesterday, she found the finger marks on the mouth of the deceased that were different from the position of his fingers. It wasn't that she was looking for clues on purpose, maybe she wouldn't even find out.

"Why is the girl so determined." Shen Congwen stared at Wu Zuo, and then asked.

Guan Xin turned to look at Zuo Zuo, "I have to ask Mr. Zuo Zuo to check whether the neck bones and throat bones of the deceased are intact, whether the tibias on both sides and the arteries on both sides are damaged." She lacks experience in these internal injuries and cannot detect them. It's better to let someone with experience do it.

At this moment, Wu Zuo didn't dare to raise any further objections. He didn't even put on the gloves Guan Xin handed him, so he went straight to check. He carefully felt the sides of the neck of the deceased with his fingers, and slowly stroked it down inch by inch. It was ugly, and he also carefully checked the purple finger marks on the arteries on both sides of the neck of the deceased, which were obviously pinch marks.

"My lord, the neck bone and larynx of the deceased were indeed incomplete, and the location of these finger marks can be concluded. The girl said that the murderer should be a man with a strong hand, and he could strangle the deceased to death with one hand. It's just that the choke marks on his face belonged to his subordinates, and it cannot be concluded from this that Miss Guan's previous remarks were true. They were force-fed drugged."

"The neck is poisonous, but the abdomen is non-toxic, how can I explain it?" Shen Congwen subconsciously turned his gaze to Guan Xin again. He had an intuition that Guan Xin could give him a reasonable explanation.

Guan Xin raised his eyebrows, pointed to the marks on the face of the deceased and said, "Everyone, please take a closer look, the marks on this face are of two colors, the dark one is closer to the color of the marks on the neck, because it was caused immediately after death. Yes, so the color is close to the wound before death, and this whitish color is a typical post-mortem wound, and it should be the trace left by the master."

That Wu Zuo couldn't help stepping forward to make a careful comparison, and had to nod to admit that if the finger mark was real, it should be true. He cupped his fists at Guan Xin, expressed his apology, and then said to Shen Congwen, "Fortunately, Miss Guan." Careful as dust, indeed as the girl said, the deceased Wang Dali should have been strangled to death first, then forcefully opened his mouth and poured medicine later, but his subordinates don't quite understand, the marks on this face yesterday are not the same as the marks on that neck No, but today it suddenly appeared for some reason.”

Xu Wentao stepped forward to look at the deceased carefully, pointed to the lips and fingertips of the deceased Wang Dali, and asked, "If he hadn't died of poisoning, how to explain the bruises on the fingertips and lips, and the marks, why did they appear?" Appeared suddenly? Master Shen, after the corpse was taken into custody last night, is there someone guarding this place?"

Guan Xin said, "After death, the blood in the body no longer circulates, causing the blood to no longer be bright red. If it stagnates here, it will cause discoloration, such as the formation of corpse spots. Uh, I mean, someone once told me that people who die from mechanical suffocation will have poor blood vessels after death, and their bodies will appear purple-black. This purple-black color, as for his lips, is also easy to explain, one is because of blood stasis, and the other is that his mouth was indeed contaminated with poison."

"What is mechanical asphyxia?" Shen Congwen was the first to hear this term.

Guan Xin thought about it as if recalling it. She had memorized these definitions before, "Simply speaking, it is suffocation caused by breathing disorder caused by external violence. Generally, it includes hanging, strangulation, strangulation, suffocation, Drowning. Among them, strangulation is characterized by circular, quasi-circular finger indentations and crescent-shaped nail marks on both sides of the neck of the corpse, which are usually patchy or irregular. The way of strangulation depends on the There are significant differences in the shape of choke marks whether they are pinched with one hand or with both hands, whether they are lined with soft objects, and the health status of the victim. The laryngeal cartilage and hyoid bone will be fractured, and the face will be severely bruised and swollen. Struggling or resisting injuries can often be found in the body, jaw, and limbs. The external manifestations of mechanical suffocation include cyanosis of the lips and nails; After careful inspection, I think that most of these symptoms can be seen in the deceased. Also, strangulation is a phenomenon that only occurs in homicides. Generally, you cannot strangle yourself to death without the help of external objects. Yes, because when a person strangles his neck with all his strength, he will lose his strength due to the final coma, so that he cannot really strangle himself to death.” Probably this means, it doesn’t matter whether there are omissions, roughly Just make it clear, and even if there are omissions, they won't be able to hear it.

"Wu Zuo, is what she said true?" Xu Wentao confirmed to Wu.

"People who suffocate to death will indeed have such symptoms. The villain has also summarized these death symptoms, but it is not as detailed and clear as what this girl said." Wu Zuo felt guilty at this time. This is a big mistake. It can't be fixed He will not be able to make a living in this yamen in the future.

"Bastard, you know, why didn't you say it earlier, why didn't you report it." Shen Congwen yelled angrily, if he had come to this conclusion earlier, why would he risk offending the sixth princess to ask Guan Xin for questioning, and why bother making trouble in Dali The temple office is so passive in front of Lord Shaoqing.

"Forgive me, my lord. When I checked yesterday, there were no such traces on the body. On the surface, it did seem to have died of poisoning, so the villain... the villain knows my mistake, please forgive me." Wu Zuo knelt on the ground, unable to stop kowtow.If it is really blamed, unemployment is a small thing, and unjust, false and wrongly decided cases caused by malfeasance are big. If it is not done well, he will be punished.

"My lord, you can't blame this lord. Didn't your lord also wonder why these scars suddenly appeared just now? The old gentleman who taught me once said that many injuries during life or after death will not be in the first place. Many of them will appear on the surface of the corpse after a day or two. Today, I temporarily remembered what the old man said, so I thought of re-examining the corpse. The master has not had time to re-examine, so I can’t notice it. These problems are also justifiable, and please don’t blame Mr. Wu Zuo.” Guan Xin couldn’t bear to see Wu Zuo kneeling on the ground at an age, so he asked for mercy. Besides, the autopsy technology of this era is not good enough. It is indeed imperfect and unsystematic, let alone the autopsy requirements such as repeated inspections of corpses.This technique was gradually perfected after Song Ci and Song Tixing.

"Even though it took many days to re-examine, but you did not raise objections in advance, even if Miss Guan pleaded with you, it would be hard to change your crime of dereliction of duty. Fortunately, the relevant girl inspected herself and was able to clear her grievances. Wrong, the responsibility of sticking can be avoided, but this official will punish you with three months' salary, you can accept it."

"Thank you, my lord, thank you for my lady, the villain's heart is sincerely convinced, the villain has benefited a lot from the girl's words today, I must pay attention to it in the future, and don't let such things happen again."

Guan Xin couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief when he heard Shen Congwen say this, "My lord, let's go out and talk, this is really not a good place to talk."

"Yes, Master Xu, please speak in the back room, please."

Xu Wentao glanced at Guan Xin's face before turning and leaving.Shen Congwen followed behind, Guan Xin followed immediately, and she took a deep breath of the cold air until she walked a long way. In that room, she had been suppressing her breathing, almost suffocating her to death.

As soon as he entered the back hall, Changle was also there.Xu Wentao and Shen Congwen hurriedly greeted the two princesses.Chang Le gestured perfunctorily, then looked at Guan Xin.She heard from Liu Niang that Guan Xin had gone for an autopsy.This news really scared her, how could Guan Xin do this?

Guan Xin was a few steps away from the two of them, bowed down and bowed to them, and then said to them, "Finally, the effort was not in vain. The corpse of Wang Dali has already told the two adults the cause of his death. Juxian Tower has nothing to do with it, so I'm fine." Turning around, he said to Shen Congwen unnaturally, "I don't know if your lord has Ai Ye in this yamen."

Shen Congwen suddenly realized, "Yes, come here and get some mugwort leaves." A yamen servant outside responded and left.

At this time, Xu Wentao finally had a chance to speak. "I wanted to ask the girl just now. You said that an old gentleman once taught the girl some autopsy techniques. I don't know where the old gentleman is now. Can he be invited to Chang'an to serve the court. Now I am still in the process of autopsy techniques. It’s not perfect, if the old gentleman came to help and taught this method of autopsy, then in the future, the clerk would be able to better assist the yamen in cracking those murder cases and redress the justice of the deceased, which is also a merit.”

Guan Xin shook his head regretfully, "My lord is right, but I may disappoint you. It was several years ago when I happened to travel to a town. I was ill at that time and spent all my money on it." I had to borrow my savings to live in the home of an old couple in the town at that time. The old man of his family guarded the Yizhuang all his life. He had these autopsy experiences because he had been dealing with corpses. The old man had long since passed away, and I At that time, I was only superficially listening, but now that I think about it, it’s really a pity that the mantle of the old man was not inherited. Sorry, I can’t help adults.”

"So, that's really a pity." Xu Wentao sighed, and said, "I was ordered to take over the case. Now that it has been proved that the cause of death of the deceased has nothing to do with the wine and food in Juxian Building, the girl can leave first, and the rest As for the matter, I and Mr. Shen will continue to find out the truth. If there is something that needs a girl in the future, I hope the girl can give me some advice."

Changle and Yuzhang got up at the same time, and Yuzhang said, "Since the suspicion of Guan Xin has been cleared, I will take him away. I always like to be clean. If there is nothing else related to Guan Xin, please let me know." Don't come to the mansion to disturb the cleanliness of this palace." After speaking, Yuzhang left with a cold face.

After going out, Guan Xin asked Yuzhang to sit with Chang Le, and she took the car with those mugwort leaves in her arms.The first thing to do when you get back to the princess mansion is to take off your clothes, take off the clothes on your body immediately, let Chuntao burn them, then light some mugwort leaves to smoke the whole body, and then throw the remaining mugwort leaves into the bathtub After soaking in the pot for a long time, I felt that the smell disappeared.

In fact, it was her inner workings, because no one else could smell it, it was only because of her inner reaction that she had such a big reaction.He waited for her to get out of the tub comfortably, before nestling on the kang and giggling.It feels really good to be light-hearted with nothing to do.This round, whether she counted as another small victory or not, those wicked and smoking guys must be furious.This incident also illustrates a problem. Sometimes it is not a bad thing to have a wide range of hobbies. Maybe I will help myself at any time.

The author has something to say:

Some people may think that Guan Xin is too versatile, but she is not. Her hobbies are purely out of interest, which is very similar to many people nowadays. Not very difficult.But it is impossible to learn the essence, so hers are half-baked. I really learned the theory of forensic medicine by myself. It was purely out of interest, but I didn’t stick to it for so long. The stalk of the nightmare is my own personal experience. , I was awakened by myself, just to hold my breath and not be smelled by zombies. . . .After waking up, I found that the quilt was blocked on my nose, and I was subconsciously holding my breath. After waking up, I felt ridiculous
