The Tang Dynasty’s Female Forensic Doctor - Chapter 83

[Chapter 86]

,,,,,,,,,,

Ran Yan ignited atractylodes and saponin in front of the coffin, then put on gloves, and carefully looked at the bones in the coffin.

Since the corpse has been buried for a long time, the information and traces of the corpse and the surrounding information will gradually disappear with the influence of the environment, plants and weather. What’s more, the skeleton has been moved and the initial appearance has been destroyed, which is undoubtedly even bigger. It is difficult to test.

According to everything presented by the bones, Ran Yan judged that this was a woman between the ages of 24 and 10. There were obvious birth scars on the pelvis, and the bones were blue and black as a whole, which looked shocking.

In such a situation, it should be suspected that the deceased died of poisoning. As for the poison, Ran Yan first thought of arsenic.

However, not all corpses that died of poisoning are blackened, and not all blackened corpses are poisoned.

The human body may also turn black when the bones are oxidized and degraded by organic matter, so it can only be said to be suspicious.

The main ingredient in arsenic is arsenic. If the deceased was indeed killed by the poison of arsenic, then the bones must contain arsenic. However, the Tang Dynasty did not have advanced equipment, how could it be determined that the bones of the deceased contained toxins?

This was indeed a problem. Ran Yan took the time to glance at Su Fu. The corpse he would rather be naked and inspected was really tricky. He trusted her and felt that if she could not test the results, no one in Datang would be able to test them. Woolen cloth?

Or are you sure that no one can test it, so you dare to open your mouth and agree, this time just to find someone to recharge?

Su Fu also keenly sensed her gaze, raised his eyes and looked over, and in just a moment, he caught the flash of a smile in her eyes, a confident and inevitable smile.

Su Fu looked away indifferently and continued to watch her test.

After the observation, Ran Yan pinched the corpse up and down with her hands little by little. When she pinched a vertebra with her hands, she obviously found something strange.

She beckoned a person holding a torch to approach, lowered her head to observe carefully, and saw a crack in the second section of the sternum.

There are black substances left in the cracks, which are likely to be the substances left over from the oxidation of the corpse’s soft tissue, so this crack is definitely not something that the group did not do when they moved the corpse, but whether it was caused by the deceased before or after death, it still needs to be done. further judgment.

This part is close to the heart and lungs, and such a crack is worth scrutinizing.

Ran Yan continued to pinched down. The pelvis, pubis, and leg bones were all normal. When she arrived at the foot, she carefully observed the missing little toe of the left foot. The bone at the incision was well healed, and it was concluded that this The toes were amputated before the deceased was alive, and after being amputated, the person lived for at least half a year.

After the examination, Ran Yan approached a few days ago and raised the pen. Everyone was waiting for her to write down the autopsy results, but she wrote a sentence: Can some of the bones be damaged?

She handed it to Su Fu with this piece of paper.

Su Fu glanced at it, but held up the paper and conveyed it aloud, “Zuo Zuo asked, can you damage part of the corpse?”

The person whispered a few words to the person next to him, and the person conveyed: “Yes, but tell me We, what is the use of damaging the corpse.”

Ran Yan bowed and wrote a few words on the paper, handed it to Su Fu, and he conveyed, “The corpse is black as a whole, and it is suspected that it has been poisoned by arsenic, but I am not sure. After some method tests, the exact result can be obtained.”

The man nodded slightly, indicating that he can start.

Ran Yan was not busy starting the action, but asked Su Fu to borrow a broad sword.

A tuft of hair was cut from the corpse, and a section of rib near the stomach was cut.

When a group of men saw the blade sawing bones, they couldn’t help but feel cold from the soles of their feet, especially when Su Fu knew that she was a woman, it felt even more strange in his heart.

However, Ran Yan took a serious look at it.

She put the rib on top of the fire and heated it until there was a hint of smoke, and then quickly brought it close to the blade of the broadsword.

This is a simple way to determine whether there is arsenic in the bones. In 1790, a chemist discovered that if the substance contains arsenic, after the substance is heated, a cool metal plate is placed over the steam , a white arsenic oxide layer will appear on the metal plate.

In the case of poor conditions, this is also a solution.

Ran Yan narrowed her eyes and saw a layer of hoarfrost-like substance appearing on the wall of the broad knife. She gently swiped it on the paper with a small brush.

She then tested her hair in the same way.

Most people think that if a person dies from arsenic poisoning, most of the toxins will be in the body after death, but this is not the case.

After saving a lot of arsenic and oxygen compounds, Ran Yan continued to study the crack on the vertebrae. This crack was near the second and second vertebrae of the chest, close to the heart and lungs. It was injured on the front side. It is speculated that it may have been caused after death.

Ran Yan suspected that after the murderer had poisoned the deceased, she pierced the heart and lungs with a sword to confuse her as to the cause of death, so she carefully examined the ribs corresponding to these vertebrae, looked over and over again, and finally found A little scratch was found on the upper side of the fourth rib on the left. Maybe this scratch can be seen very clearly on the newer bone, but this bone has been slightly weathered. This is a little scratch, if not By speculation, it will not be noticed at all.

This discovery made Ran Yan sure that the deceased was stabbed after death. There are many possibilities for its purpose. It may be to vent anger, or it may be uneasy, so I will make it up again, so that she will definitely die, it is possible It’s to confuse the judgement, and it’s possible that the sharp tool inserted into the heart is coated with a lot of arsenic…

Ran Yan is more inclined to the latter two possibilities. If it is to vent his anger, how can he only insert a knife?

It takes at least two strokes to achieve the purpose of venting anger!

She just checked carefully, and there were no other scars on the bones.

Ran Yan poured vinegar on the burning atractylodes and soap horns in front of the coffin, breathing a little smoke, she pulled Su Fu over it and gestured for the others to step over too.

Then Ran Yan sat down a few times before and wrote down the results of her autopsy on paper in detail. She didn’t forget Su Fu’s explanation that she wanted to change the font, so she deliberately wrote with her left hand.

Ran Yan had previously practiced writing with her left hand. The fonts were ugly, but not slow.

After writing five pages of paper, Ran Yan paused, and wrote another sheet and handed it to Su Fu.

Su Fu glanced at it, still nested the paper, and said, “Zuo Zuo took the residue of arsenic poison from the hair and ribs of the corpse, and there were two copies in total. If you doubt it, you can take it and test it.”

Su Fu will The two things wrapped in paper bags were handed to the man in black for Wei, and then the autopsy results were also handed over.

The man used the light of the torch to look at it once, and the more he looked at him, the more surprised he was. No other author could make such detailed autopsy records, and even write all kinds of speculations clearly, which surprised him even more. What’s surprising is that she even drew the angle and position where the knife was inserted into her body, and speculated on what kind of posture could cause such a piercing.

These are completely Ran Yan’s occupational obsessive-compulsive disorder. Once she makes an autopsy report, she will definitely be detailed to the point where she will never give anyone a chance to question.

“Qi, where did you find this work?” The man in black suddenly made a voice, his voice was refreshing and slightly magnetic, it was a young man.

The young man was speaking to Su Fu.

Ran Yan guessed that “period” may be the word of Su Fu, Su Fu, Su Qi.

“I’m not a member of my generation. Now that the matter has been done, please leave.” Su Fu’s voice was cold, resounding above the wilderness, making people shiver.

The man didn’t care, he just chuckled and said, “There will be an appointment later.”

“Don’t forget your promise.” Su Fu did not want to be polite to him, and reminded him coldly.

Seeing him turn around and leave, Ran Yan quickly picked up the toolbox and followed.

The wilderness was quiet, except for the crackling of the fire, and the air was filled with the slightly sour smell of herbs, saponins, and vinegar.

The rough-sounding man raised his eyes to see Su Fu walking away, and said in a low voice, “Lang Jun, do you want to follow him?”

“Following?” The young man sneered, as if he had remembered something, and said displeasedly, “Are you sure you won’t be discovered by him? You have known him for so long, when have you ever seen him show mercy.” The

man was silent, and Lang Jun used to be too He once sent people to follow Su Fu, but unfortunately not only did he not find out his details, but he was all killed, and even Lang Jun received a warning. Because of this, Lang Jun became very angry.

The only exposed eyes of the young man flashed a sullen look, and he said slowly to himself: “Qi, if you can’t be used by me, I will try my best to take down your rank.”

In his words Not without warning, the people in black all around were silent.

After Su Fu and Ran Yan walked about two feet away, they went around a mound before Su Fu picked her up and ran away.

He did not send Ran Yan to Yingmei Nunnery, but took him directly to the bamboo courtyard where he lived in seclusion.

In the middle of the moon, a piece of cockscomb in the bamboo courtyard is in full bloom, swaying slightly in the mountain wind.

UU reading www.sonicmtl.com Su Fu ripped off his face towel, and walked into the house as if no one else, while unbuttoning his black coat, his posture was unrestrained and smooth, he raised his hand and raised a step, all handsome.

Ran Yan was stunned, thinking, isn’t this about to be fulfilled?

With that in mind, I hurriedly left the cumbersome toolbox and followed.

Su Fu only took off his middle clothes, loosened his hair, washed his hands, put on a coat, and walked out with two cups of tea, one cup in Ran Yan’s hand, seeing her blocking the door, he said lightly: ” Get out of the way.”

Ran Yan took a sip of her saliva and found that it was still hot, but she couldn’t ignore the surprise, she stepped back to the side, and then said, “I don’t accept casual viewing, what I said is, in the light There is plenty of space, look carefully without covering up.”

Su Fu stood in front of the porch drinking tea, his broad shoulders hung on the robe draped behind him, the ink spread behind him, only to the back, like a calm mountain, the moonlight Qinghui sprinkled on his side face like a knife, and it matched with the bright red cockscomb in front of him, which was extremely beautiful.

Ran Yan stared at this beautiful picture and held her breath unconsciously.
