Chapter 502 Determination of Cause of Death
Don't rush to conclusions.Yang Tashan conducted another ring precipitation reaction test, and it was confirmed that the effusion was indeed human blood.In other words, the fluid in the abdominal cavity is a mixture of blood and amniotic fluid.

The next step is to identify the bleeding site.Yang Tashan carefully inspected the deceased's chest and abdomen, lungs, heart, stomach, liver, spleen, kidneys, intestines and other organs, and found no traumatic damage and no bleeding.

Then, when the uterus and its accessories were checked, it was found that the omentum adhered to the anterior wall of the uterus and the bladder, and there was a protrusion between the lower part of the uterus and the bladder, which was hard to the touch and covered with serosa.He cut the serosa close to the delivery uterus and found that it was a baby's skull with a jagged edge of flat bone that had completely penetrated the myometrium.

Yang Tashan separated the peritoneum, cut off the connection between the obstetric uterus and the accessory pelvic wall from the outside of each ligament, took out the obstetric uterus, accessories and all ligaments together for inspection, and found a hole the size of a grain of rice in the obstetric uterine wall. He can conclude that this hole is absolutely not It was caused by corruption. After careful inspection with a magnifying glass, it was found that it was a stab wound, that is, pierced by a sharp bladeless instrument.The uterus was cut open, and scratches were found on the wall and neck of the vagina.

Judging from the wound, it looked a lot like a stab wound caused by an induced labor operation.

In ancient times, when it was discovered that a pregnant woman was pregnant with a stillbirth or the like and needed to induce labor, in addition to using decoctions, instruments such as long needles and iron bars were often inserted into the uterus to pierce the amniotic membrane in the uterine cavity and release amniotic fluid to achieve the purpose of abortion.This method is very dangerous. Once the operation is wrong, it is easy to puncture the obstetric uterine wall and enter the abdominal cavity through the posterior fornix of the approaching tract. It may even puncture the internal organs of the abdominal cavity.

If so, the woman should have had an induced labor.

He then checked other organs and found no other lesions or damages.

However, the contents of the stomach of the deceased aroused his great interest. The contents of the stomach contained some minced meat and vegetables. These minced meat had not been digested, and they could be vaguely identified as chicken, pork, fish, eggs, and white rice.Judging from the fact that the contents of the stomach have not been digested, let alone emptied, the deceased should have been killed within an hour after eating.

This provided a reliable basis for finding out the exact time of death. However, this time the time of death was not what interested Yang Tashan the most. What he was most interested in was the food the deceased ate.

Judging from the condition of the palms and limbs of the deceased, the woman had thick hands and feet, and calluses on her palms. Obviously, she was not a daughter of a wealthy family, but a peasant woman engaged in manual labor.However, if it is a peasant woman, how can there be chicken and fish in her food?It doesn't quite fit who she is.

Yang Tashan frowned and thought for a while, a peasant woman can eat so well in a famine year, there are three kinds of meat alone, it can't help but surprise people.What's going on here?There were so many possibilities that he didn't have a clue.

After the autopsy, according to the bleeding hole found, Yang Tashan was sure that this case was homicide!

There are two main reasons: First, the hemorrhage and severe peritonitis are enough to make the deceased unable to complete suicide.

Judging from the puncture hole the size of a rice grain in the delivery uterine wall, although the amount of bleeding per unit volume is not too large, the severe pain caused by peritonitis due to the mixture of blood and amniotic fluid entering the abdominal cavity is very terrible. Thousands of milliliters of blood The severe loss and severe pain are enough to cause the deceased to lose most of his mobility, and the comminuted depressed fracture of the left temporal part requires a lot of blow force. It is almost impossible for the deceased to complete this suicide act.

Second, there are no signs of accidental death such as high-fall injuries.Since the fatal injury to the left temporal bone of the deceased was a comminuted depressed fracture and brain contusion, it shows that the force of the blow was great. If the deceased fell down when he was seriously injured and unconscious, and the temporal part hit the bluestone board, the woman weighed very little , Therefore, at best, it causes a linear fracture, and it is impossible to cause such a serious injury as a comminuted depressed fracture.

It cannot be a high-fall injury, because the autopsy proved that, except for the blunt temporal injury and the uterine wall stab wound, the deceased did not suffer from multiple fractures and visceral ruptures that are common in high-fall injuries, and the brain did not appear to be hedging. brain contusion.What's more, the wound is in the temporal region. If a high fall injury wants to injure the temporal region, it must fall in a strange way with the head tilted to the side, which is unreasonable.

Therefore, Yang Tashan judged that the woman died of homicide.

Yang Tashan put the organs back into the corpse, sewed them up, and found a dress for the corpse to wear.

After Yang Tashan's inspection was completed, he began to restore the cranial image.

Since the corpse was highly decomposed and covered with fly maggots, it was far from the original face of the deceased. It can be said that it was completely unrecognizable. Even if it was shown to the relatives of the deceased in a portrait like this, they would not be able to recognize who it was.Restoration must be done first, and then portrait.

Most of the muscles of the deceased’s skull are still there, and the skin on the face is relatively intact, but it is highly corrupted and swollen. This is because the skin layer is full of corrupted gas. To restore, the corrupted gas must first be discharged by using a simple facial restoration method, so that the corpse Roughly close to the original appearance.Then repair the defective parts, especially the eyes. Although the eyeballs have been eaten by fly maggots, the orbital skin still basically exists, so the restoration is relatively easy.

After Yang Tashan discharged the corrupted gas on the face and basically restored the face to normal, he found clay to repair the temple and eye parts, and then restored the coloring and added eyelashes.It took about an hour to get it right.Then, Yang Tashan called the painter in the yamen to paint the restored head.

It was already afternoon when the artist finished the painting.Only then did Yang Tashan order the yamen's assistant to carry the body to be cremated.

After seeing the cremation of the body, Yang Tashan came to the yamen's arrest squad.

Cheng Ziqin and the three team leaders were discussing the case in the small living room of the police squad room. Seeing Yang Tashan come in, the three team leaders stood up and bowed.Yang Tashan returned the gift and sat down.

Cheng Ziqin frowned, and looked Yang Tashan up and down: "Catcher Yang, why do you smell so bad?" The three team leaders, Shouhou, Luo Yi and Ma Liang, obviously also noticed the smell on Yang Tashan's body, and thought Pinching his nose but not daring, he looked at Yang Tashan in embarrassment.

Yang Tashan sniffed: "It doesn't stink, why does it stink?" Then he remembered that he had been autopsying the corpse all morning. Although he was wearing special deerskin gloves, the mortuary was small and it was hot summer. It was full of corpse smell, and this smell filled the whole body, and it was not easy to dissipate in a short time.Then he smiled: "It's the smell of that corpse, it's okay, it will be fine in a while."

Cheng Ziqin asked: "How is it? Did you find anything?"

Yang Tashan took out the portrait drawn by the artist based on his restored head from his arms, and said: "After inspection, the head and the body are of the same person, female, and the age of the body is estimated to be 23 years old after testing the degree of wear on the occlusal surface of the body. Left and right. This is the portrait drawn by the yamen painter after I restored the corpse."

Cheng Ziqin took it, looked at it carefully, and passed it on to the other arresters.Cheng Ziqin asked, "Have you restored that rotten head?"

"Yes."

"You are really powerful, what about the head?"

"Didn't you say to burn it after the inspection? That's why I asked Wu Zuo to take it and burn it together with the body." Yang Tashan thought to himself, the corpse had already been tested by his own craniotomy and brain, so it must not be kept. In order not to let people find out that they have been dissected, they will be in trouble.

Cheng Ziqin nodded: "It doesn't matter if it is burned, anyway, there are already portraits, and I will ask the artist to draw a few more later, so as to facilitate the investigation of the source of the corpse. What did your autopsy find?"

Yang Tashan said: "I checked the palm of the dead body and found that it was rough and had mild calluses. This indicates that the woman may have come from the countryside and was engaged in manual labor. The cause of death was brain contusion and laceration caused by a comminuted depressed fracture of the temporal part. Death, internal hemorrhage accelerated the process of death and was also one of the causes of death."

Although Cheng Ziqin didn't quite understand his string of forensic terms, he nodded in praise and said, "Not bad, you really found something."

"There will be more discoveries later." Yang Tashan smiled, "The trauma on the woman's forehead was caused by blowing with an angular bluestone..."

"A bluestone block with edges and corners? How do you know?" Cheng Ziqin interrupted and asked.

Yang Tashan smiled mysteriously: "This is a secret. In the future, I will be responsible for solving the cases. You only need to listen to my conclusions. You can't ask why or how you know, because this is my detection secret."

The three team leaders Cheng Ziqin and Shouhou looked at each other. Of course they knew the taboo of stealing from a teacher, so they all nodded.Cheng Ziqin said: "Okay then, let's not ask, you can continue talking."

"The trauma to the left temporal part of the deceased resulted in a comminuted depressed fracture of the skull and contusion and laceration of the brain. This is one of the fatal injuries..."

"One?" Cheng Ziqin asked again, "Is there another fatal injury? Why didn't we find it when we inspected the scene just now?"

Yang Tashan thought to himself, if he hadn't performed an autopsy, he would not have found another fatal injury, but this fatal injury was on the wall of the uterus. After the autopsy, he said vaguely: "I found out that this woman is pregnant, and she underwent an operation to induce labor, but the operation was unsuccessful, and the baby was stillborn. It is likely that the fetal head is too large or the cervix is ​​too narrow, making it difficult to give birth smoothly. So the operator crushed the baby's head and took out the baby, but a piece of the skull remained in the uterus. The operation caused the deceased to hemorrhage, which was another cause of death."

Hearing these words, Shouhou and the others felt chills all over their bodies.

Cheng Ziqin blushed and asked, "Do you know how to induce a child?"

"Hey, let's catch up quickly, we need to know a little bit about everything, so we can find clues."

The thin monkey said: "Yang Butou, what clue did you find?"
