Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 161 Suddenly realized it was a lie
Li Canghai nodded, and then let him leave Songhe Tower to open a warehouse to release food for the victims.

After Zuo Hongji left, Zhu Wen, the butler and others were left on the scene.

Several people knelt on the ground, their foreheads were covered with cold sweat, and they didn't even dare to breathe.

"Zhu Wen, you are a yamen servant, but you help the tyrants to abuse people and kill criminals with poison. This is a capital crime!" Li Canghai frowned and shouted.

Zhu Wen trembled with fright, he lowered his head and did not speak.

"However, for the sake of your timely confession of the murderer behind the scenes and turning you into a tainted witness, I will give you a lighter sentence and remove you from the government office. You will never be hired. You will have to do ten years of hard labor to pay for your crime." Li Canghai Light and authentic.

Zhu Wen was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that he would survive, so he burst into tears: "Thank you for your kindness, sir! Thank you for your kindness! The little one will definitely change his ways and be a good person in the future!"

After judging Zhu Wen, Li Canghai glanced at Wang Buquan's housekeeper.

The housekeeper knelt on the ground trembling, seeing Li Canghai glaring at him, almost paralyzed with fright.

Li Canghai turned to Chang Feng and asked, "Chang Feng, how many minions of Wang Buquan have you captured this time?"

"My lord, there are about a hundred people, and they are all locked up in the ruined temple in the west city." Chang Feng paused, adoringly said: "My lord, you are really clever, let us put drugs in the wine, otherwise how could it be so easy Just catch Wang Buquan so many minions?"

Li Canghai smiled indifferently: "Stop flattering, it's all thanks to Zhang Xuan's life, if it wasn't for his drug, you would have to work hard."

"Your Excellency said, Doctor Zhang, thank you very much for this time." Chang Feng respectfully saluted Zhang Xuanming with his hands clasped.

Zhang Xuan blew his slender bangs and said with a smile: "It's a small effort, it's nothing to worry about."

Li Canghai looked at Zhang Xuanming, he found that this wandering doctor is really not simple, he smiled a few times, pointed at the butler, and said in a deep voice: "Chang Feng, take this man and those minions to the Yellow River for a final fight." let them build dikes to stop the flood.”

Chang Feng bowed in response, then walked in front of the butler, and dragged the butler who had softened into mud out.

After adjudicating Yiying and others, Li Canghai wrote a letter and sent it to Kang Xu in a hurry, asking him to bring the refugees back to Zhengyang City.

Zhang Xuanming looked at Li Canghai, and praised sincerely: "I, Zhang Xuanming, have traveled all over the world, and I have seen a lot, but I have never seen a person like an adult. In just two days, I broke three piles in a row. Murder cases, including two old ones. My lord's ability, I am afraid that even today's Dali Temple Minister may not be able to match it!"

Li Canghai smiled modestly, and said: "Brother Zhang has won the award. As the saying goes, the way of heaven is clear, and the retribution is not good. If Wang Buquan hadn't committed many evils, how could I have discovered these many loopholes? The root cause is that I just borrowed it." It's just luck."

"Victory without arrogance, your majesty is extraordinary, Zhang Xuanming admires it." Zhang Xuanming praised, then asked curiously: "However, there is something I don't understand, and I want to ask your lord for advice."

"Oh, what's the matter?" Li Canghai asked.

"Your Majesty used the 'Bone Dropping Method' to identify the identity of the deceased, but the deceased had been dead for more than several months. Even if you found the blood sand, the color should be very light after immersing it in the water. How could it be so bright?"

Zhang Xuanming was a little puzzled, it seemed impossible that the blood sand after several months could dissolve so much blood.

Li Canghai smiled inscrutablely. He took his right hand out of his sleeve. Zhang Xuanming found that the thumb of his right hand was soaked in blood. up.

"Brother Zhang observed carefully. The so-called blood sand is just some solidified cinnabar, and the blood in the bowl is actually my own blood." Li Canghai smiled.

Zhang Xuanming looked at him in disbelief, and exclaimed, "How could your blood seep into the bones? This doesn't conform to common sense!"

Li Canghai knew that the common sense he was talking about was actually a conclusion based on ancient medicine, that is, only blood with blood relationship can penetrate into the bone marrow.

This is a relatively recognized method of identifying bones in ancient times, and is usually used when bones are found.

Wu Zuo will find a person who is related to the victim by blood, take blood and drop it into the bones to confirm the identity of the bones.

This kind of situation is easy to say, but there are not many people who actually encounter it.

First of all, if the victim is a corpse.

Secondly, it is necessary to find out the suspected identity of the bones, and use their suspected identities to find the immediate relatives with blood relationship, and then confirm the bones with the method of dripping bones.

The discovery of the bones is often after many years. This kind of unsolved case has few clues and consumes energy, so few people ask.

After a long time, it will naturally disappear.

The probability of using the bone dripping method is naturally very small.

The method of dripping bones and recognizing relatives by dripping blood, these two methods have always been regarded as the standard, and no one doubts their authenticity.

However, Li Canghai knew that this method was not reliable at all.

Ancient medicine was not as developed as later generations, so naturally they would not know DNA identification technology.

When Li Canghai was studying forensic medicine in his previous life, he knew something about this aspect. At least as far as he knew, the only way to accurately identify blood relationship was through DNA identification.

The dripping bone method seems reasonable, but in fact it has a lot of flaws.

Whether the bones are buried in the soil or stored in the open air, the soft tissues attached to them will decay until they disappear and dissolve, leaving a pile of white bones in the end.

Without the protection of skin and flesh, the surface of the bones will corrode and become crisp, with many small cracks and cracks appearing.At this time, let alone blood, even water and urine can seep into it.

Zhang Xuanming was stunned when he heard it, what kind of DNA identification, what kind of genetic technology, he was at a loss when he heard it, as if he was listening to a book from heaven.

It took Li Canghai a while to explain the problem to Zhang Xuanming.

After Zhang Xuanming understood it, he admired deeply: "I never thought that my lord can't help being proficient in solving crimes, and also has such a comprehension of medical skills. Listening to Jun's words today is better than reading ten years of books!"

Li Canghai waved his hand and said with a smile, "Brother Zhang is absurd. As for medicine, I only have a superficial knowledge. In front of Brother Zhang, I'm nothing more than an axe."

Zhang Xuanming shook his head, he bowed respectfully to Li Canghai, and said: "My lord is knowledgeable, it is really admirable, this salute is to thank you for your kindness in teaching and solving doubts."

Li Canghai hurriedly helped him up, and said: "Brother Zhang, I'm terrified. I just saw through the flaws of the dripping bone method. How can I live up to the four words of 'teaching karma and solving puzzles'? It really frustrates me!"

But he didn't know that this 'dripping bone method' was regarded as the standard, and no one had ever doubted it. He saw through its flaws in a few words, and overthrew the method that had been passed down for hundreds of years.

In Zhang Xuanming's view, although this kind of behavior had an impact on the ancient law, it gave him hope for innovation.
