Chapter 344 Uncertain Cause of Death

Song Yuner felt that this was simply incredible and asked again: "Brother, is this man really drowned?"

"To solve this problem, we must first solve one problem. Can such a small puddle drown people?"

"Of course, you can control him, grab his head and press it into the water, and you will drown in a while." Song Yuner, who is possessed of first-class martial arts, certainly has a very relaxed view of such things.

Yang Qiuchi smiled: "Then this person must be as powerful as you - I guess I can't find it in this world."

"Virtue-!" Song Yuner tilted her head and said proudly.

"Hehe, otherwise, this person must be significantly stronger than the dead. Otherwise, if neither of them has martial arts and similar physical strength, it is almost impossible to press a person into a small puddle to drown him."

"That's right." Song Yun'er nodded and pointed to the messy hair on the back of the deceased's head. "I think his hair seems to have been caught. Maybe he was caught and pressed in the water and drowned."

Yang Qiuchi said: "So, do you believe that the deceased was drowned?"

Song Yuner laughed: "I'm not sure, I guessed based on what you said."

"I always follow my words to guess what's the future? This time, you can judge by yourself based on your own thinking. I will tell you what's wrong."

"Yeah! OK." Song Yuner squatted down, looked at the body carefully, and said to herself: "The deceased's body does not have obvious sharp and blunt injuries, so he was not beaten to death or stabbed with a knife. He was dressed in a relatively complete manner and had no obvious traces of fighting. There were no scratches and taps on the ground, so it was unlikely that he was drowned by someone in a puddle."

Song Yuner said this and looked up at Yang Qiuchi. Seeing that there was a look of praise in his eyes, he felt a little more confident in his heart, and then said, "I just said that half of the drowning people are likely to appear mushroom bubbles. According to my words, it can be understood as follows: if mushroom bubbles appear, they may be drowned, but if they do not appear, they cannot be ruled out for drowning, so he may be drowned."

Speaking of this, Song Yuner felt something was wrong again. She just said that he was not drowned, but why did she say it again later? She smiled awkwardly and looked up at Yang Qiuchi. Seeing that he had no intention of laughing at her, she didn't say anything.

Song Yuner felt a little relieved and thought for a while. Her eyes lit up: "By the way! He drowned, but not drowned by someone pressing him into the water, but he was drunk or suddenly sick. He fainted and drowned in the puddle!" Song Yuner jumped up and smiled at Yang Qiuchi, "Brother, are you right?"

Yang Qiuchi nodded in praise: "You have made a good analysis and it makes sense, and this possibility exists completely."

Song Yuner was very proud, and then remembered another thing: "By the way, in addition to being drunk and getting sick, there is another possibility, that is, poisoning, he was poisoned... No, if he was poisoned, he was poisoned, not drowned, maybe he was obsessed with ecstasy, and drowned in a coma. Right?"

Yang Qiuchi nodded: "There is absolutely a possibility. However, you just mentioned three possibilities - drunk, suddenly getting sick, and getting ecstasy. Which one is it?"

Song Yuner scratched her head and smiled: "I don't know this...this."

Yang Qiuchi praised: "It's not easy for you to analyze this step." He squatted down, pointed to the deceased's face, and said: "This person shouldn't be drowned, because his face did not show symptoms of suffocation and death."

"Symptoms of suffocation death? What is suffocation?"

Yang Qiuchi made a neck-choking action: "Suffocation is simply an external force that causes death from being unable to breathe. In most cases, drowning is also unable to breathe and causing death from being unable to breathe. Therefore, general symptoms of suffocation will also occur, such as bruising face, facial skin, eyeballs, eyeballs, eyelid conjunctiva fornix, inner surface of lip mucosa, gingival mucosa, etc. "

Song Yuner looked at the deceased's face carefully and said, "It seems that this person has no bleeding points."

"So, initial judgment, this person doesn't seem to be drowned."

"That's strange, how did this person die?" Even Song Yuner herself was confused.

Yang Qiuchi shook his head: "Based on the current situation, it is difficult for me to make a judgment."

"Why?" Song Yun'er was anxious. She had been following Yang Qiuchi for so long and hadn't heard him say something he could not even make up for, which surprised her.

The reason why Yang Qiuchi cannot judge is actually very simple. Such as those who have unknown causes of death can only be found through pathological analysis (of course not absolute. According to statistics, about 10% of the corpses with unknown causes of death cannot be found after autopsy, because we cannot recognize some death mechanisms now). However, the Ming Dynasty could not perform dissections. Yang Qiuchi's eyes could not see through the corpse, so he had no choice.

According to past experience, Peng Si is most likely to die from sudden death - death due to his own underlying cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases or dysfunction. Of course, it may also be trauma that induces internal pathological mutations to cause sudden death. This kind of trauma does not need to be very serious. For example, intracranial aneurysms, even if it is just a patient's cough, it can cause rupture and intracranial hemorrhage and eventually die.

If death is caused by disease, it is natural death. But this is just a speculation by Yang Qiuchi. If it cannot be dissected, you can only check and visit to see if there are some symptoms that can lead to sudden death in the deceased during his lifetime.

But the reason why this cannot be judged is difficult to explain because it involves too much modern medical knowledge.

Yang Qiuchi smiled bitterly and said, "This man died strangely. The hair behind his head was obviously scratched. It seemed that he was drowned by someone in the water, but there was no sign of fighting, nor any symptoms of drowning, nor any symptoms of poisoning. He was wearing silk trousers from a rich man, but his upper body was wearing a coolie's jacket, and died in the middle of the night on the dock by the river. It was really strange that he died but couldn't figure out how he died."

Seeing that Yang Qiuchi was not even a little anxious, Song Yuner was a little anxious: "What should I do?"

Yang Qiuchi squatted down and looked at the footprints next to the corpse, took out a soft ruler from his arms and measured the size of the footprints. After thinking about it, he pointed to a few smaller footprints on the edge of the puddle and said to Song Yuner: "Have you noticed it? There are some messy footprints next to the corpse. Those large shoeprints may be left by the person who found the corpse, but those smaller shoeprints are very strange. Judging from the appearance, they should be the footprints of children."

Song Yuner squatted down and looked carefully: "That's right, it's the child's shoe prints, that's nothing strange. Maybe it's the child who ran over to watch the fun."

Yang Qiuchi shook his head: "No, I just measured it. Judging from the shoe prints, this child may be only fourteen or five years old. Have you noticed that these shoe prints are next to the body of the corpse. Even if a 14 or five-year-old child is very brave, he will run to the front to see the fun. Will he run all the way to the next to the corpse? Aren't he afraid that the dead man will reach out to catch him? Haha."

Song Yuner glared at Yang Qiuchi: "I know it's scary!" After thinking about it, he nodded, "That's right, children will not run to the corpse to watch it. It's great if they want to watch it for a few steps."

"Well! These children's shoe prints are very suspicious. If the deceased died of killing him and the child is the murderer, it would be understandable. But... it seems not like killing him now... In short, this is a clue, we should pay attention to in the subsequent investigation."

"Investigation?" Song Yuner asked curiously, "What to investigate?"

Yang Qiuchi said: "Investigate and visit, see if you find anything. Chairman Mao... Ahem, a sage once said that without investigation, there is no right to speak, so it is necessary to investigate before you can figure it out."

"Ah? Which sage said it? Why haven't I heard of it?" Song Yun'er opened her eyes wide.

"So you need to read more!" Yang Qiuchi said with a smile.

"Hmph! It seems like you have read so many books. Forget it, I'm too lazy to ask you." Song Yun'er's eyes rolled: "I'll help you investigate, okay?" What girls like the most is asking about things.

"Okay!" Yang Qiuchi looked up and down with a smile, "You girl's family, she looks so well-behaved. Before you ask, people will tell you. Hehehe."

Song Yuner gave Yang Qiuchi a blank look and said angrily: "Just make me happy! Tell me quickly, how can I investigate, what should I investigate?"

Yang Qiuchi was so big that he didn't know that, and he even said he wanted to help him. So he said patiently: "You go and ask the person who found the body first and see the process of discovering the body. I'll ask you to go later if you need to investigate later."

"Okay!" Song Yun'er walked to the people who had been waiting for the discovery of the corpse not far away, and asked in a very capable manner: "Who are you the first to discover this corpse?"

A man with a coolie nodded and bowed to Song Yuner.

Song Yuner looked him up and down: "Did you discover the deceased first?"

The man nodded again quickly.

"What's your name? What do you do, where do you live?" Song Yuner asked calmly.

"My name is Zhao Shuan. I am the dock porter at Mr. Peng's house. I live in the shed on the dock."

"Did you find the dead body at this location?"

The other party nodded, then shook his head again, and then looked at Peng Hexi, who was standing a few steps away, timidly.
