Chapter 633 Osteopathy.

Song Gongqing was able to ask like this, which showed that he was still very comprehensive in his consideration, so at this time, Hua Lang nodded slightly to indicate that this was indeed the case.

Song Wanqiu saw Hualang nodding, so she smiled slightly, and said: "Two years ago, it often rained heavily in our place, and there was a waterlogging disaster, if this corpse was two years ago, then it must have been washed out by the rain, but no, this corpse was not washed out until yesterday's heavy rain, indicating that the corpse was buried a year ago, and after a year, it became a corpse." ”

After listening to Song Gongqing's explanation, Hua Lang nodded and said: "Lord Song is right, this is indeed a male corpse, and it is indeed a year ago, but to examine the bones, only from the white bones and height, it is always unsafe, after all, women are also tall, men are also short, and as long as the deceased was poisoned before his death, the bones will also be black, to test whether the corpse bones are male or female, can be verified from the following aspects, first look at the skull, the man from the top of the head to the ears and the back of the head, there are a total of eight skulls, and there is a slit in the back of the head, When the upright goes down to the hairline, there is another straight slit, and the woman's skull has six pieces, and when there is no stitch under the uprightness, Lord Song comes to see, isn't there exactly eight skulls in this corpse? ”

Song Gongqing took a closer look and found that it was really as Hua Lang said, and at this time, his admiration for Hua Lang couldn't help but be a little more.

Seeing Song Gongqing nodded, Hua Lang continued: "Then there is the left and right ribs, twelve ribs for men and fourteen for women, see if this is the case?" ”

Song Gongqing checked carefully and found that there were indeed twelve left and right, and eight were long and four short.

At this time, Hua Lang continued: "Again, look at the tailbone, the man's spine is concave, there are pointed flaps on both sides, like water chestnuts, and there are nine orifices around it, and the woman's vertebrae are straight and have six orifices around it, do you see if this is the case?" ”

When Hua Lang said the tailbone, Song Gongqing had already gone to check, so when Hua Lang asked, Song Gongqing had already nodded and said yes, seeing Song Gongqing like this, Hua Lang smiled and said: "It is a very important thing to examine whether the autopsy is male or female, otherwise we cannot speculate the identity of the deceased, and the reason why there are so many tests is because the corpse bones are sometimes not very complete, if there is no skull, we only have to examine the tailbone ribs to determine the sex of the deceased, of course, the ribs are the easiest to disperse, so we must know the many verification methods." ”

After Hua Lang finished speaking, Song Gongqing hurriedly gave Hua Lang a big salute and said: "The playboy is really knowledgeable, listening to the words of the playboy today, it is really beneficial, if it is not for this dragon beard county order, I really want to handle the case with the playboy and learn the way of the autopsy!" ”

The dignified Longxu County Commander actually said such a thing, which somewhat shocked those officials, but Song Gongqing didn't care, and at this time, Hua Lang smiled: "Lord Song is polite, think more about everything, you can always find new knowledge, now we have a simple look at the bones, now let's start the autopsy, we need to know how the deceased died." ”

Song Gongqing nodded again and again, and then asked, "I don't know what is needed for an autopsy?" ”

Hua Lang looked around and said, "Dig a cellar seven feet long, three feet wide and two feet deep by the side of the road, and burn it with charcoal." ”

Song Gongqing didn't understand what Hua Lang was going to do, but he still asked the officials to do what Hua Lang said, and after the cellar was dug and calcined, Hua Lang asked people to remove the fire in the cellar, and then poured two liters of good wine and five liters of sour vinegar into the cellar.

The bones of the corpse were bright, Hua Lang ordered someone to cover the bones with a red oil umbrella for examination, and it was found that there were red lines on the foot bones, and there was a blood halo at the bone connection, after Hua Lang saw this, his brows were slightly furrowed, and then the bones with blood halo were looked at the sunlight that was already somewhat westward, and it was found that there was no blood mark on the bone, but it was damaged.

Hua Lang held a piece of human bone without saying a word, Song Gongqing saw this, a little puzzled, and asked, "Dude, but what did you find?" ”

Hua Lang nodded and said: "There are red lines on the bones, it can be seen that the deceased's foot bones have been injured, shining against the sun, there are no blood marks, there are two situations, either the deceased's foot bones are old wounds, which were already there a few years before he died, or after the deceased died, someone hit the corpse's foot bones." ”

After listening to Hua Lang's words, Song Gongqing asked: "Then can't you be sure whether it was early in the morning or was beaten after death?" ”

Hua Lang looked embarrassed and said, "It's really not easy now, let's take a look at other places." Hua Lang said and walked towards the bones, but at this time, he seemed to suddenly think of something, so he said to Song Gongqing: "Please also ask Lord Song to send someone to rummage in the surrounding dirt to see if we can find the deceased's things, with the relics, it is easier for us to identify the deceased." ”

Song Gongqing nodded again and again, and then Hua Lang looked at the bones again.

Hua Lang searched for a long time at the bones, and found that several of the teeth of the bones were blackened, which was obviously a sign of poisoning, and Hua Lang frowned slightly, and it was difficult to conclude for a while.

At this moment, a servant suddenly shouted: "I found a shoe in this dirt, but it is already tattered, and there is a gold silk money bag here, which is full of dirt, but it looks like it has been buried in the dirt for a long time." ”

After the official washed the shoes and money bag in the water, he could faintly see that there was a word embroidered on the money bag, and after seeing this word, the worry in Hua Lang's heart finally came like a flood.

After thinking about it for a while, Hua Lang said to Song Gongqing: "I am tired that Lord Song sent someone to Lintong County to invite Deng Cuiyun from Lintong County and ask her to identify the body." ”

Hearing Hua Lang say this, Song Gongqing couldn't understand it very much, and said, "How can the playboy tell who the deceased is from these shoes and money bags?" ”

Hua Lang sighed and said, "This is just my guess, do I have to invite Deng Cuiyun to come later." After Hua Lang said this, Song Gongqing sent someone to Lintong County, and then, Hua Lang told them the whole story of their coming to Longxu County.

Now that the day is slanting to the west, and it is autumn, so the sky may be said to be dark, Hualang inspected everyone to wait at the Longxu County Ya first, and waited for Deng Cuiyun to identify the body, and then did other investigations.

Now in this situation, Song Gongqing naturally has no objections, and he has long wanted to hurry back to the county office, and then ask Hua Lang for some post-mortem methods.
