Chapter 28 The Mystery of Beheading
Seeing her decision, Yang Tashan nodded secretly. This female captain also knew some criminal investigation knowledge.
Finally, I walked to the corpse. This was a naked headless female corpse. Her head was gone, her body was naked, her whole body was highly corrupt and swollen. This was because the soft tissue of the corpse was filled with corrupt gas. The skin of the body had turned into a terrifying dirty green and covered with corrupt vein networks, and her limbs were thick.
The headless corpse and limbs were covered with wounds of different sizes. One side of the breasts had been cut off, and the wounds and vagina were covered with dense magnies. Some magnies drilled into the skin, forming subcutaneous airbags. The skin had been eaten by magnies and had holes.
When Cheng Ziqin saw this scene, she frowned and didn't know where to start. Yang Tashan said, "Catcher, otherwise, I'll check it."
Cheng Ziqin shook her head: "Let's check together." Then she covered her nose and squatted beside the corpse.
Yang Tashan put down the forensic evidence investigation box and opened it, took out a pair of deer leather gloves and put it on, took another probe, squatted down on the other side of the corpse, and used the probe to sweep away the dense maggots in the neck wound, revealing the broken neck, and then went up to observe carefully.
Cheng Ziqin also came up to take a look. The thick corpse stinking was about to make her faint. Yang Tashan seemed nothing and didn't even cover her nose.
Then, Yang Tashan used a probe to pull out all the maggots that were wiggling on the wound on the corpse's breasts and other parts of the wound of different sizes, revealing the wound. Then he observed carefully.
However, due to the nibbling of maggots, the wounds are already blurred, and it is difficult to judge what kind of wounds it is.
After staring at the wound for a while, Yang Tashan used a probe to pull out the malformed malformers piled up in the vagina of the corpse, hoping to check the condition of the hymen and see if there was any rape and murder. This was part of the forensic doctor's routine examination. The result made him disappointed and creepy - the vagina was already full of malformed malformers, gathered together, and rolled out of the vagina. The vulva had been completely destroyed by malformed malformers, and the hymen could no longer be found.
Flies like to lay eggs in the natural openings of the corpse's eyes, nose, mouth, vagina, anus, etc. The hatched magnies will erode these places and destroy relevant parts, which will bring additional obstacles to the detection.
Seeing this scene, Cheng Ziqin screamed in horror. Although she had participated in many murderous autopsies, this was the first time she was so terrifying.
Then, Yang Tashan turned the body over, and there were many wounds of different sizes on his back, and they were also covered with maggots.
Yang Tashan checked the distribution of corpse spots and corpse zombies again, and then used a probe to dig out the soil on both sides of the corpse, and then nodded.
He stood up and asked, "Become a captain, what do you think of this case?"
Cheng Ziqin said: "The head is broken and it is not near the corpse. So it is absolutely impossible to commit suicide, it should be a homicide."
Yang Tashan nodded and said, "It makes sense, but if he killed him and cut off his head, why isn't there much blood on the grass?"
Cheng Ziqin was stunned and frowned and asked, "What does it mean?"
Yang Tashan used a probe to point the cut neck of the corpse and said, "The carotid artery is the main artery of the human body. When the head is cut off, the blood from the carotid artery will splatter out like a fountain. Therefore, the corpse will fall to the ground, especially within a relatively large range around the neck. It will be soaked by a large amount of blood gushing out from the body. Since the blood is splattering out, the nearby thatch will also be stained with blood. Although it has been very stuffy these two days, it has not rained. As a head catcher, please see, the color of the land near the neck of the corpse has not changed, and there is no blood soaking. Most of the thatch next to it is not even stained with blood."
Cheng Ziqin understood, and she said with a gloomy face: "Then do you mean suicide? If it is suicide, what about the head?"
Cheng Ziqin's logic is very clear: if a person wants to commit suicide, it is impossible to cut the head off and still have the ability to throw it away or hide it. On the contrary, if the head is not found on the scene, it means he must have killed him.
Yang Tashan hurriedly said, "I don't mean that, I mean that this should not be the first scene. If it is not the first scene, it will be difficult to judge whether it is suicide or homicide."
Cheng Ziqin was stunned. Yang Tashan's words were very correct. Whether it was suicide or murder, it was possible that someone else would be moved here for some reason. In this way, Yang Tashan's words just now were not deliberately refuting his own point of view, nor did he overturn his own point of view.
"Why do you say it's not the first scene? Just because there is no large amount of blood here?"
"This is a very important basis for judgment, and there is another basis for the corpse spots of the corpse appearing on the lower left side."
"What corpse spots...the left side lies low...what does it mean?" Cheng Ziqin had never heard of it.
Yang Tashan pointed to the dark purple scar on the left side of the corpse with a probe: "This is the corpse spot. It is formed after a person dies due to gravity and then soaks into the human tissue. It can be determined whether the corpse has moved after death."
"How to confirm?"
"The corpse spots are concentrated on the left side of the corpse, that is, the left neck, the left arm, the left rib and the left outer thigh. This means that the corpse has been lying on the left side for at least twelve hours after the corpse dies. The corpse spots are fixed at the bottom of the left side. We just saw that the corpse is, and the corpse is facing upwards. From this, we can also judge that the corpse has been moved."
When Cheng Ziqin heard this theory for the first time, some monks were confused and could not figure it out for a while. So he returned to the topic just now, looked at the corpse, and said in a deep voice: "You can't tell whether it's suicide or hell? I think it's okay to judge."
"How to judge?" Yang Tashan asked curiously.
"The wound on the neck, when have you ever seen someone who committed suicide, cut off the entire head? At most, it's almost done with a big cut on the side. Besides, under normal circumstances, if a person wants to cut his own head by himself, it takes a very fast knife and a very fast speed. This is almost impossible for ordinary people. What's more, her breasts... were cut off, and her body was covered with wounds, and a large piece of flesh on her thigh was cut off, revealing her bones. If she wanted to commit suicide, would she have cut herself into pieces with such a thousand knives? Moreover, after cutting these wounds, she might have fainted several times. How could she have the strength to cut off her head?"
Cheng Ziqin's point of view is very logical. Cutting off the head will definitely be fatal immediately, so it is impossible to cut the wound on the body. Therefore, this order should be to cut the wound on the body first and then the head will be cut. There are too many wounds on the body, and some wounds are very serious, such as injuries on the breasts and thighs, bones deep below, injuries on the thighs and even cut the leg artery. Such serious injuries must be a lot of blood loss. The deceased does not need to cut the head at all, which is enough to cause hemorrhagic shock death.
"I agree with you very much, but--" Yang Tashan used a probe to cut all the maggots on the broken neck of the corpse, revealing the broken neck, and continued: "Head captain, if you observe carefully, you will find that this broken neck is not cut, and injuries on the breasts, thighs and other parts of the female corpse are not cut."
"What?" Cheng Ziqin shouted in surprise, then came over and carefully observed the wounds on her neck and other parts, and sneered: "If this head was not cut, would it be torn off?"
"That's right! It was torn apart!"
Cheng Ziqin was really surprised now, and then said with disdain, "Although your martial arts are high, it is not yet outrageous! You may be able to break someone else's neck, but if you want to tear your neck alive, you may not have the ability, right?"
Yang Tashan smiled and said, "Don't mention me, I'm afraid no one in this world can tear off an adult's head alive."
"Then you said just now..."
"Don't worry, headmaster, first of all, I'm not saying it's being torn off by life, secondly, I'm not saying it's being torn off by life."
"Aren't you a human or a ghost?"
"It's not a ghost, but a wild dog or a jackal!"
Cheng Ziqin stared at Yang Tashan, thinking that he became more and more amazing as he said, and asked, "Is there any basis for your words?"
"Yes!" Yang Tashan pointed to the broken hole on his neck with a probe, "If it is a sharp cut and cut, the wall of the wound will be smooth..."
"But the broken mouth was eaten in a mess by maggots. Even if it was smooth, it wouldn't be seen!"
"You are right. The surface features of the soft tissue in the broken mouth have indeed been eaten by magnies. It is impossible to tell whether it is a sharp or a blunt weapon. However, there is a place that will not be damaged by magnies. This place can tell us whether the head of the deceased was cut off."
“Where?”
Yang Tashan pointed to the cervical vertebrae at the broken mouth of the deceased's neck with a probe: "It's here! The connection between the human cervical vertebrae is very tight, and the upper and lower cervical vertebrae are embedded together like the lock. If you want to cut and separate it with a knife, it is impossible to completely avoid damage to the bones of the cervical vertebrae. If you observe carefully, you can see that there is no sharp mark at the fracture, which means that the cervical vertebrae was not cut off by chopping, but was broken by pulling, dislocation and breaking."
Cheng Ziqin heard what Yang Tashan said seriously, hurriedly approached and looked carefully, nodded, but was still stubborn, and said, "Can't we tear off other places with a knife and only bones?"
"Hey, it's very imaginative. But if you were the murderer, would you be in such trouble?"
"Maybe this murderer likes to kill people in this way." Cheng Ziqin seemed to have made up her mind to go to the end with Yang Tashantop.
"Of course there is this possibility, but if we look at the breaking point carefully, we will find that this is not the case."
