The first thing that needs to be solved is the cause of death of the little monk Huitong, and only when it is determined that Huitong was killed, on-site investigation or estimating the time of death and the like become necessary. And just a cursory inspection, I found a lot of problems, now calm down and investigate carefully.

Xiao Yuer first stripped off all of Huitong's clothes and pants and conducted a body surface examination. After the inspection, another on-site investigation was carried out, and no footprints were extracted from the scene.

Xiao Yu'er opened the back window, and there were no footprints. Take a look, find that this window is relatively high, if you come in from the back window, you will inevitably leave fingerprints or something, and it is difficult to find the hidden fingerprints in the poor conditions of the ancient times.

He looked up at the incense burner not far away, and with an idea, he grabbed the ash from the incense burner and went to the back window. With a gentle blow, the fingerprints were really extracted on the rear window. Then write it down, and compare it with the abbot and Huitong Huipu, it is indeed their fingerprint.

This is very understandable, according to the abbot, he couldn't open the door, and when he went to the back window, he found that Huitong was hanging, so he entered through the back window, so he would leave handprints and fingerprints on the windowsill. This room belongs to the little monk, and it is normal for the little monk to leave fingerprints.

Why didn't the killer leave fingerprints? Under normal circumstances, you must use your hands to support the window sill in order to enter the room, and if you want to hold the window sill with your hands, there is a high chance that you will leave a fingerprint or fingerprint on the window sill that can be detected, but why not? Could it be that the murderer was wearing gloves? Impossible, the ancients did not have the anti-reconnaissance knowledge of wearing gloves to prevent leaving fingerprints, could it be that the murderer jumped into the room with a pole? Or, the murderer is the abbot at all, he is a thief shouting to catch a thief!

Xiao Yu'er crouched next to the corpse, thinking about the whole incident.

After a long time, his eyes slowly lit up, and he took out a pot of wine from the space package and collected fingerprints from it. After a while. Then he took off his gloves and walked out with a smile on his face. When everyone saw him smiling, they all gathered around.

Master Bao asked, "Can you find a clue?" ”

Xiao Yu'er smiled: "Fortunately, I didn't disgrace my life." Then Master Bao gathered everyone to the main hall. After the shopkeeper Zheng brought it, he had already heard that Huitong had hanged himself, but at this moment he was more concerned about his fate, and pleaded with a sad face: "My lord, Mrs. Chen really didn't kill me...... I've wronged you......"

Xiao Yu'er smiled and stepped forward to untie the rope for him personally, and patted him on the shoulder: "I now know that the real murderer is indeed not you, but someone else." ”

Shopkeeper Zheng was pleasantly surprised, and his knees were weak. He knelt on the ground with a bang, and kept calling himself Lord Qingtian. Master Bao helped him up.

It's no wonder that Shopkeeper Zheng is like this, because everyone has stolen money, which in ancient times, it was an iron case that was enough to kill Shopkeeper Zheng. Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that Shopkeeper Zheng escaped death.

Shopkeeper Zheng was overjoyed, but Xiao Yu'er's words stunned everyone.

Chen Yun first shouted: "No, didn't you say last night that he killed my lady and then snatched my lady's pearl necklace?" Why is it not now? ”

"Because Huitong didn't hang himself, he pretended to hang himself after being killed! And the killing of Huitong sued me. The real murderer who killed your lady is not Shopkeeper Zheng! ”

Killed again? There were two murders in a row in this ancient temple in one night! Everyone looked at each other, and they all felt a chill down their spines, and for a while, no one asked Xiao Yu'er why she judged that Huitong died of murder. After hearing what Xiao Yuer said, according to the killing of Huitong, it was found out that the murder of Mrs. Chen was not committed by the shopkeeper Zheng. It's even more surprising.

Bao Dadao: "Xiao Yu'er, the more you say this, the more mysterious it becomes, making us all dizzy." Can you explain? ”

"Of course, it has to be explained. Everyone, please come to the Huitong Meditation Room. With that, Xiao Yu'er walked into the meditation room first. Everyone glanced at each other and followed into the meditation room.

Xiao Yu'er squatted on the ground next to the head of Huitong's corpse, pointed to the strangulation marks on the corpse's neck and said: "Huitong was hanged by his own trouser belt, according to the strangulation marks on the neck, it is a typical hanging, that is, the belt is symmetrically between the anterior neck bone and the thyroid cartilage to go around to both sides, along the mandibular angle through the back of the ear over the mastoid process, diagonally to the back and upper hanging in the air, the figure of eight does not intersect." To put it simply, the rope is located above the back of the head of the Huitong, and the head hangs down. ”

Zhang Yu nodded: "Yes, what we saw just now is this situation." ”

Chen Yundao: "What kind of typical ...... are you analyzing? Can the typical ...... of the Han style explain anything? ”

"Of course you can!" Xiao Yu'er pointed to his neck, "There are arteries and veins in people's necks, which are responsible for sending blood from the heart to the head and then back to the heart from the head," Immediately, he opened his hands, simulated the appearance of hanging himself in the right position, pinched his neck, and said: "Typical anterior hangings will create a complete compression of the jugular arteries and veins, and the person's head and face will be in an ischemic state, so the face should be pale." However, if you look at the face of Huitong's corpse, it is blue and purple! ”

After listening to Xiao Yu'er's explanation, everyone seemed to understand, Chen Yun said: "I have seen people hanging with their heads hanging before, but their faces are indeed pale. But this Huitong's face is bruised and different. ”

Since there have been people who have seen hanged people testify, everyone believes it, Shopkeeper Zheng is in a good mood, and praises: "Little brother, I found the clue all of a sudden, it's really amazing!" ”

Although Xiao Yu'er cleared his grievances, he was still not interested in him, and ignored him, and continued: "Because the morphological changes on the face of Huitong's corpse do not conform to the characteristics of the previous hanging, this makes me suspect that Huitong did not die of hanging, but pretended to hang himself after being killed by other methods. After checking, it turned out to be so. ”

Chen Yundao: "So amazing? Can you explain? ”

Xiao Yu'er smiled slightly and said, "Okay, I'll explain it to you!" The difference between hanging death and hanging corpse after death is mainly whether there is a life reaction in the groove and deep neck tissues. ”

"Life...... What's the reaction to life? ”

"Don't worry, listen to me slowly, the life reaction is a morphological change when a person is hanged alive while he is still alive, that is, a change that is different from the hanging corpse after death." Xiao Yu'er pointed to the strangulation marks on Huitong's neck, "In this case, if it is hanged alive, the gutter on the deceased's neck will have epidermal peeling and bleeding points, which is a life reaction in the case of hanging alive, but you see, there is no epidermal peeling and bleeding point at the strangulation mark on Huitong's neck." ”

They went up and looked, but there was none.

Xiao Yu'er took out the flying knife, this is still the 'flying knife' rewarded by the system when doing the task, because it is made of stainless steel, a total of six, and he usually doesn't know the secret weapon of the Tang Sect so he has to use the scalpel.

He pointed to the neck of the deceased and said: "I am going to perform an autopsy on the neck of the deceased now, if the deceased is hanged alive, then the muscles in the deep internal groove of the neck of this corpse will have contusive bleeding areas, there will also be bleeding in the superficial and deep lymph nodes of the neck, and there may also be a fracture of the greater horn of the hyoid bone with bleeding." Conversely, if it is a posthumous hanging body, there is none. ”

The scalpel fell skillfully, and it swiped rapidly, and Xiao Yu'er showed them one by one, and sure enough, there was no said bleeding, which proved that it was a posthumous hanging corpse. Hearing the onlookers, several men nodded their heads.

Master Bao asked, "Then how did he die?!" That's what everybody cares about.

"Cover it!" Xiao Yu'er gestured with both hands, "The murderer used soft objects such as pillows, towels, and quilts to press his body and cover his mouth and nose while Huitong was asleep, and covered him to death, and then put his belt on the beam, carried the body and hung it, put the stool down, and pretended to commit suicide." ”

The shopkeeper Zheng on the side sighed twice and praised: "Little brother, it's really powerful, you can see at a glance what means the murderer used." ”

Chen Yun turned his head and glared at him: "You shut up, if you don't speak, no one will treat you as a mute!" ”

Shopkeeper Zheng smiled: "Anyway, I was tied to a pillar last night, and I can't kill anyone, so Huitong's death has nothing to do with me!" Then I'll just shut up and watch the fun. ”

The abbot said the Buddha's name: "Donor, how can you see that Huitong was covered to death?" (To be continued......)
