The wife of the power minister's family

Xu Jing has always respected people who are studious and dedicated. Hearing this, she looked at the man and said with a faint smile: "I didn't cook the bones to find out the cause of death."

Wu Zuo was startled. If it wasn't to find out the cause of death, what else could it be for?
Xu Jing returned her gaze to the bones lying quietly at the bottom of the pot and said, "Did Huang Wuzuo find what I troubled Huang Wuzuo to look for?"

This gangster's surname is Huang, and he is the gatekeeper of a charity village outside the city. After all, gangwork is a lowly profession. There are not many people who are willing to be gangsters, and there are even fewer capable gangsters. Many small counties do not have specialized gangsters. When it's time to perform an autopsy, you can only go to the streets to find people who know a lot about corpses to serve as temporary helpers. Livestock sellers and people who work in charity farms are often the first choices.

For this Huang Zuo, guarding the gate of Yizhuang is his official job, and he only occasionally helps the county government investigate cases, but he is passionate about autopsies. Xiao Yi got acquainted with him while investigating a certain case.

The Huang Zuo was stunned for a moment, and while nodding, he pulled a baggage he had brought over and muttered: "Fortunately, a certain person has been working in Yizhuang for decades and has the habit of leaving corpses for research. Otherwise, he would still be in trouble." I really can’t do what Madam Xu told me... By the way, why does Madam Xu need so many bones from the front of the deceased’s pelvis?”

After he opened the bag, the people around him were shocked to find that everything inside was actually human bones! There were three pieces in total, and they all seemed to be bones from the same part.

Xu Jing raised her eyebrows and smiled, "As expected of Huang Wuzuo, you have been a big help."

While talking, he took out the ropes of different colors that he had prepared earlier, tied each bone, and threw them all into the pot.

Surrounding audience: "..."

Does Mrs. Xu think this pot of bone soup is not enough?

After doing all this, Xu Jingcai slowly explained: "This bone is called the pubic symphysis. It is located in the middle of the lowest part of the human abdomen. The shape of the pubic symphysis surface will show strong regularity as a person ages. I The purpose of cooking the bones at this time is to remove the tissue and dust impurities attached to the bones, so that the characteristics of the pubic symphysis surface can be more obvious."

Huang Wuzuo was startled, "That's why you asked me to select the bones according to age! Do you want to determine the age of the deceased? However, I heard that the deceased was a doctor from the Imperial College, and his age at the time of death was very certain, that is, 43 years old!" "

"The premise is..."

Xu Jing paused and said in a deep voice: "This body is indeed that doctor's."

Everyone's hearts were shocked, and they instantly understood Madam Xu's purpose of opening the coffin and conducting an autopsy.

Madam Xu is suspicious. The person lying in this coffin is not Dr. Cao? !
About two-quarters of an hour later, Xu Jing had someone take out all the bones from the pot. The bones Huang Zuo brought were all old bones, and there was almost no human tissue on them, but Xu Jing took them out from the coffin. The piece of bone still had some human tissue left. The person responsible for fishing it out looked at the rotten meat and bone fragments lying on the bottom of the pot, and almost vomited out the overnight meal.

Xu Jing walked up to the bones without changing her expression, wiped them carefully with the dry cloth she had prepared earlier, then picked up a bone tied with a red rope and said: "This deceased, dead He should not have been 17 years old at the time."

Huang Wuzuo was startled and asked quickly: "You...how did you know?"

"Look at the pubic symphysis. The ridges and grooves alternate, with the middle being the highest. The grooves are filled with honeycomb-like holes. This is the characteristic of the pubic symphysis in people aged six to 17 years old."

After Xu Jing finished speaking, she picked up a bone tied with a yellow rope and said, "The deceased should have been 23 to 25 years old when he died. In people of this age group, the ridge on the pubic symphysis begins to blur or disappear. The lower edge of the ventral side forms a slope in females and a slope in males.”

After speaking, he picked up a bone tied with a blue rope and said: "The deceased should be thirty to 34 years old. The surface of the pubic symphysis is obviously flat, and some are slightly concave, and the dorsal edge begins to expand. .”

Huang Wuzuo was completely speechless. What Mrs. Xu said was absolutely right! All right! Although he has been studying corpses, there are not many corpses for him to study. Although he has noticed that some bones of different people are slightly different, he cannot delve into the patterns.

Madam Xu can't develop this skill without seeing thousands of corpses and skeletons of different ages! She...who is she?

"And this bone..."

Xu Jing finally picked up the bone taken out of the coffin and said coldly: "Obviously it does not belong to Dr. Cao! It belongs to a man between the ages of 35 and 39! The pubic bone of a person in this age group The concavity of the symphyseal surface will be more serious, and the dorsal edge will be more flaring!"

As she spoke, she placed the bone next to the bone belonging to a person between thirty and 34 years old. After such an intuitive comparison, everyone immediately saw the difference and couldn't help but look surprised.

What’s in this coffin is actually not Dr. Cao’s body!
So where did the real Dr. Cao go?
Xiao Yi, who had been watching quietly from the side, said at this time: "You already know who the murderer is, so how do you find the murderer?"

Xu Jing nodded. In fact, she had already thought of the truth. This time the coffin was opened and the autopsy was just to further confirm what she was thinking.

She sighed secretly and said, "Tomorrow, I will go to the Imperial College to catch the murderer."

If it were any later, I'm afraid it would be too late.

Unexpectedly, early the next morning, as soon as Xu Jing finished breakfast, Chunyang hurriedly came to report that Zhao Jingming and Zhao Shaohua were here.

The two people arrived at the same time. Xu Jing frowned slightly and had a bad feeling in her heart. She walked quickly to the front hall and saw Zhao Shaohua stood up suddenly and said anxiously: "Jing! Jing'an has a big day today." Someone had sent me a message a long time ago, saying... that people from Dali Temple came to their Imperial College and threatened everywhere that they had found the murderer. What is going on?!"

Zhao Jingming also said anxiously: "Have they really found the culprit? Don't just catch them randomly like before! Ouch, I'm so anxious that I don't even want to go to the military camp!"

These days, he has to go to the military camp for duty every day. He can't go with them to investigate the case. He is already scratching his head in anxiety.

Xu Jing looked at them and asked, "Did Zhao Jiulang say who they arrested?"

Zhao Shaohua shook his head, "He didn't say, maybe when he asked someone to deliver the message, Dali Temple hadn't arrested anyone yet!"

Xu Jing frowned and said, "Let's go to the Imperial College first!"

Several people quickly arrived at the Imperial College. As soon as they walked into the gate of the Imperial College, they saw a group of officers and soldiers escorting a short and thin boy out. Wang Qilang and two other officials from Dali Temple walked in with a proud expression. At the front, both sides were crowded with students watching the fun.

And that young man who was being held by officers and soldiers with a face of despair and excitement, who else could he be if he wasn't Yu Yang!

The bad premonition came true. Xu Jing took a deep breath and quickly stepped forward to stop Wang Qilang and his party. She said in a deep voice: "Wang Shaoqing, please be patient! The person who committed this series of murders is not the Yu in Wang Shaoqing's hands." Langjun!"
