Chapter II Cause of Death
"case?"
"Yes, case!"
At this time, Zhang Haotian remembered his mission.
It turned out that this morning, someone found a bulging sack in the alley on the west street of Mayanxiang. Out of curiosity, he untied the sack and saw that he was so scared that he almost broke out of his body.
There was actually a male corpse in this sack!
Because this place is closest to the evil department of Xicheng Town, this person reported the case to the evil department of Xicheng Town. Zhang Haotian happened to be in the yamen, so he brought someone to take a look.
For some reason, the original owner was suddenly killed by Zhang Haotian, who was killed by objects on the construction site.
Zhang Haotian is still dizzy now and hasn't figured out how the original owner died?!
When someone brought the bronze mirror back to someone, Zhang Haotian did not look at the male corpse first, but looked at the surrounding environment.
Although Zhang Haotian had never been a real policeman in his previous life, he also worked as an auxiliary police officer for the town police station for two years and handled more than a dozen major cases with the criminal police, including several murders.
In addition, Zhang Haotian likes to watch police and gangster movies and detective novels.
He is familiar with this case-handling routine!
Especially for such murder cases, the scene is very important. Cases that seem to be clueless often leave some clues on the scene. If you observe carefully, you will find a lot of useful information.
Mayanxiang West Street is located in the Western City of the imperial capital. Although it is not the best place to be in the imperial capital, it is not bad. Those who can live here are basically wealthy families or wealthy families that have already been expanded.
And this alley is only three meters wide, but it is as long as five or six hundred meters long, and it is well connected - because it is blocked by the mottled walls on both sides, it looks a little dark even during the day.
The male corpse was thrown at the corner of the alley, with bloody faces, naked upper body exposed, while the other half was curled up in a sack.
In the initial state, the male corpse was completely put in a sack. Later, the passers-by were curiously opened and found that it was a male corpse. They were so scared that they threw it on the ground.
However, this is also human nature. Anyone who has full expectations and thought he could pick up good things, but when he opened it, he saw that it was a bloody corpse. He didn't faint from being scared. He was already considered bold.
After seeing the surrounding environment, Zhang Haotian slowly walked into the corpse and tried his best to prevent his steps from destroying the scene.
This is a habit that Zhang Haotian developed when handling cases with the police when he was a supporting police officer.
In fact, both in ancient times and nowadays, handling cases pays great attention to on-site protection.
But unlike modern times, there were not so many high-tech technologies in ancient times, and it was impossible to extract physical evidence such as on-site fingerprints and DNA.
In ancient times, people did not have so many high-tech, so the focus on handling cases was on human evidence and physical evidence.
That is, the witnesses on the scene, objects left by the criminals on the scene that can prove his identity.
Zhang Haotian came to the corpse and looked carefully at the wound on the corpse's face. Although it was covered in scars, it looked very scary. In fact, these injuries were all skin trauma, and this skin trauma was definitely not the cause of death.
After looking at the wound on his face, Zhang Haotian carefully checked all the positions on the head of the body, including under his hair, and no wounds were found.
It is obvious that this person did not die of a head hit. He pinched the mouth of the body with his hands, and the upper and lower rows of teeth were white and there was no yellow or black.
After checking his mouth, Zhang Haotian carefully searched downwards and found several blood marks from deeper nails on the back of the corpse.
The rest of his body was in the sack, and Zhang Haotian ordered Ma Shanpao: "Get him out completely, remember to be careful not to destroy the traces on the surface of the corpse."
Ma Shanpao hurriedly waved, and several officers rushed forward and pulled the body out of the sack with all their might.
Taking advantage of their time to fiddle with the body, Ma Shanpao came up and laughed in a low voice: "Sir, this person has no fatal injuries, nor has he died of excessive bleeding. Will he be poisoned to death..."
"Wait a moment!"
Before Ma Shanpao finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhang Haotian. He went up and squatted down excitedly, fiddled with the object under the crotch of the corpse with a knife, his face full of excitement, as if he had discovered some rare treasure.
Seeing Zhang Haotian fiddling with the thing with a scabbard, he looked over and over again for a while, Ma Shanpao's scalp was numb. What kind of hobby is his boss?
Why didn’t I find him having this hobby before?
Curious, Ma Shanpao couldn't help but move forward and asked in a low voice: "Sir, have you discovered something?"
"Have the deceased identified?"
Zhang Haotian did not answer, but asked back.
"It's not time to confirm this person's identity!"
Ma Shanpao shook his head and said.
He came to the scene with the captain, so how could he have time to confirm the identity of the deceased?
Besides, the deceased's face was caught like that, unless he was a very familiar person, he might not be able to recognize him.
Zhang Haotian stood up straight, grinned, and talked jokingly: "It can be basically confirmed that the dead man was a young scholar from a good family. The cause of death was poisoning. Judging from the evidence at the scene, the deceased should have been killed by his lover."
Everyone around him was a little suspicious when they saw Zhang Haotian’s swearing.
How could it be seen that the deceased was a famous scholar or a scholar from a good family?
Even if the deceased died of poisoning, it is determined that it was poisoned by his relationship.
Don’t think that you can speak nonsense as long as you are the commander of the Evil Suppression Division and tell the evidence.
There are many children of officials here watching the fun. They are not afraid of Zhang Haotian's official clothes. Some of them urged him to ask: "Sir, how do you know that the deceased is a scholar from a good family, and that he died of poisoning, or his favor?"
Zhang Haotian pointed to the corpse and said, "Have you noticed that there are significant contractions in the gastrocnemius, biceps brachii and rectus abdominis, which are symptoms that occur after human poisoning."
"I just observed the pupil size of the deceased and found that there was pupil shrinkage and jaundice in the sclera. This can all indicate that the deceased died of poisoning."
After a pause, Zhang Haotian continued: "Based on the tenderness of the skin of the deceased, it can be judged that he is not old. The deceased has obvious calluses on the thumb, index finger and middle finger of the right hand. This is caused by holding the pen for many years. He is young and gentle, and has been holding the pen for many years. He is probably a scholar."
"Why is he said his family is well-off? I just saw his teeth. They were white and yellow or black. This shows that this scholar has the habit of using high-quality tea to rinse his mouth every day. How can people usually use tea to rinse their mouths?"
Everyone was surprised when they heard this, and couldn't help asking curiously: "How can it be proved that his love was poisoned? Could it be that his love was poisoned because he was thrown away here naked?"
Especially this is the most puzzled thing for everyone.
After all, who was poisoned? It is impossible to tell from the corpse?
It is impossible to say that the deceased's relationship is poisoning the dead because the male corpse is not wearing clothes. This reasoning makes no sense!
Zhang Haotian calmly pointed to the weak part of the male corpse and said, "It's very simple. There is some liquid on the thing in this corpse, which means that the deceased had been in the same room as his lover before he died. Before he could wipe it, he was poisoned to death. Everyone is a man, so I don't need to say more."
When everyone heard this, they were deeply impressed.
Yes, why didn't we think of this?
Especially the yamen runners led by Mashan Cannon, they admired and were a little confused - when did our irritable captain have such a keen observation ability!
After two examples, the identity and cause of death of the deceased were analyzed, and the murderer was roughly locked in the range.
"It's said that the most toxic woman's heart is really nothing wrong. She actually poisons people so cruelly!"
"You must find this poisonous woman and cut it into pieces!"
"A beauty is in trouble. This woman is cruel, but she is even more cruel than a man!"
The onlookers began to curse the poisonous woman who poisoned people.
"Who told you that the person who poisoned you is a woman!"
