Chapter 12 Autopsy

The old woman choked and said, "He killed my daughter, and he still wants justice?"

Helanbing interrupted with her and said, "Old man, Master Situ has already said it very clearly just now. It is possible that your daughter was not killed by your son-in-law. If this is true, wouldn't it be unfair to chop your son-in-law's head?"

When the two elders heard this, they stopped crying.

"They should have children, right?" Helan Bing said.

"Well, I have a son and a daughter, how old are you."

"Yes, if your son-in-law didn't kill your daughter, but he mistakenly regarded your son-in-law as the murderer and chopped his head, not only did he betray, but your two grandsons would have become orphans without fathers and mothers! The real murderer is still secretly happy behind him. This shouldn't be what you want to see, right?"

"But, who would it be if it weren't him?" The old woman was unwilling to give up.

"To find out this, you can only have an autopsy."

The two elders looked at each other again, finally sighed and nodded.

Seeing that the two agreed, Situ Ce asked the street to borrow a saw, a slut, and an iron hammer from the carpenter. Then, the group immediately came to the cemetery where Wang Boss Wang’s wife was buried outside the outskirts of Beicheng.

The coroner dug up the grave, pried open the coffin, revealing the bones inside.

The corpse was already very powerful, and the pungent stench made the coroners cover their noses and avoid them. Even the relatives of the deceased changed their faces and hugged and cried in the distance.

Seeing this rotten corpse, Situ Ce felt a chill. The organ of the corpse was self-dissolved, and many scars and lesions would be covered up. Whether the cause of death can be found depends on his luck.

The autopsy was conducted next to the grave. With the observance of the deceased's mother, Situ Ce began an autopsy.

He first cut the corpse clothes with scissors and checked the body surface first.

No abnormalities were found on the entire surface of the body. He carefully checked the deceased's neck and found no pinching marks. Of course, this cannot be ruled out that pinching is done, because if soft satin is used to cushion the neck, some will not form pinching marks.

He took out an anatomical scalpel from the test box and began to focus on dissecting the neck. If it is strangled, in many cases, the annular cartilage inside the neck will be damaged, which can help determine whether it is strangled.

No abnormalities were found in the anatomy.

He began to cut open the chest and abdomen of the deceased for examination, and opened the chest and abdominal cavity, and found no abnormalities.

The last hope is the only brain!

He first carefully scraped the deceased's hair with a knife and examined the scalp, but no obvious trauma was found. He used a scalpel to cut the scalp and examined the skull, but no fracture was found.

Now, he could only cut open his brain and see inside. There was no bone saw in his on-site inspection box. He stood up, took the borrowed saw and began to saw the dead man's head.

"Master! You! What are you doing?" The deceased's mother was anxious and shouted with red eyes.

Situ Ce did not stop: "To test the head, you must cut the head, otherwise who can see what's going on inside?"

The deceased mother said to stop him in a hurry. He also felt reasonable when he heard what he said, but after all, it was his daughter who opened her head. She was sad and sat on the muddy ground, choked and cried.

Situ Ce saw the skull of the dead and took off the skull with a slut.

The test found that the deceased's subdural cavity almost disappeared, the left brain swelled, and a large area of ​​black intracerebral hemorrhage was displaced to the opposite side. Excluding the contralateral hemisphere made the brain smooth and the cerebral sulcus shallow. Obviously, the brain has a large amount of acute bleeding, which compresses the brain tissue and causes brain dysfunction, which leads to acute sudden death of the deceased!

After the remaining parts were inspected, no obvious abnormalities were found.

Situ Ce stood up and shouted loudly to Cai Zhixian sitting in the distance: "Dongweng, the autopsy has been completed, and the cause of death has been found out!"

Upon hearing this, Cai Zhixian quickly got up and walked over quickly. The deceased father also ran over from a distance. The two saw the corpse that had been dissected, their faces changed color, and were further stinked by the stench so that they took several steps back. They felt that something was wrong, so they quickly covered their mouths and noses with their hands and walked back.

Situ Ce pointed to the throat of the deceased and said, "Dongweng, please see, if it is strangled, the upper horn of the deceased's thyroid cartilage will generally be fractured, and the large horn of the hyoid bone will also be fractured. However, I just checked it and there were no fractures in these two bones. And the body did not have any basic signs of suffocation and death. Therefore, the evidence that the deceased was strangled is still not found here!"

Cai Zhixian stood far away on the edge of the tunnel, and the stench was so stinking that he was about to fall. Moreover, he knew nothing about anatomy and could not figure out where the thyroid cartilage was or where the hyoid bone was. Anyway, everything was left to the master, and he was right. Then he nodded repeatedly.

He Lanbing relied on reasoning to solve the case entirely. He only conducted physical examinations on the body. He never dissected the body and did not understand anatomy. Naturally, he could not tell whether what Situ Ce said was correct. He just looked at his face and wanted to see if what he said was true. After watching for a long time, he couldn't see it. He heard that he was very sensible, so he had to nod and asked, "Since you can't find out the evidence of strangling, have you found out how the deceased died?"

"It's basically clear!" Situ Ce moved the deceased and cut open the head of the skull, pointed to the large area of ​​black blood stasis inside, and said, "The deceased died of acute bleeding caused by rupture of the cerebral blood vessels, which compressed the brain tissue and caused death from brain dysfunction."

Cai Zhixian looked at the dark blood clots on his white head, and almost vomited. He covered his mouth and retching a few times, turned his head and said with a breath: "She, did she die of bleeding from her head?"

"Yes."

"How come the head bleeds for no reason? Was it beaten?" Cai Zhixian looked at it again, and his stomach was like a turbulent person. He quickly closed his eyes and twisted his head.

Situ Ce used his fingers to tickle the brain of the body and said, "It is certainly not, because I checked the head of the deceased, including the scalp and skull, and no external injuries were found. Therefore, the cause of the bleeding should come from the inside of the craniocerebral brain. It may be hypertension or atherosclerosis, or cerebrovascular malformation, etc. As for the specific cause, it is difficult to find out now, because the brain tissue and blood vessels of the deceased have been mostly decayed. But it may be certain that there are a large number of bleeding areas in the deceased's brain. The deceased died of cerebral hemorrhage. Of course, to determine this, I also need to interrogate the criminal and investigate the situation of the deceased's death. If the deceased died, there were severe headaches, dizziness, nausea and vomiting, rosy complexion, or unconsciousness, deep breathing, loud snoring, crooked corners of the mouth, etc., it can be finalized."

Cai Zhixian could not understand Situ Ce's extensive modern medical vocabulary, but he was employed without any doubt. Since he had hired Situ Ce as the master of the Zheng Ming, he naturally believed what he said. He didn't have the courage to look at the terrifying corpse again, waved his hand and said, "Okay, get up and go back to the yamen!" He pointed to the deceased's parents and said, "You go and wait for news too." After that, he walked away as if he ran away.

The two old men hurriedly bowed and agreed to thank him.

Situ Ce sewed the body again, put it back on the body with the new clothes brought by the deceased's family, put it back into the coffin, and nailed the coffin again, burying the grave.
Chapter completed!
