Little Detective of the Tang Dynasty: What to do if you are beheaded at the beginning?

Governor Lu finally arrived an hour later, and the clerk beside him pushed aside the crowd.

"What's going on?"

Song Zhen stepped aside with a serious expression: "Governor Lu, look."

Damn!

Why are you showing me this disgusting thing again!

Governor Lu vomited all the food he had eaten the previous night immediately after seeing it for the first time.

Damn, it's even more disgusting than the corpse of a Hu person.

He didn't dare to look at it for the second time, because if he looked at it again, he would...

"Did you do it on purpose or accidentally?"

Song Zhen covered his mouth and laughed secretly, then returned to his serious state. He had just asked someone to go back to Huichunfang to bring his toolbox.

He tightened his mask and put on waterproof gloves.

"Tian Qi, put on this and come over to help."

"Okay, Langguan."

Tian Qi ran over, took the waterproof gloves, and put them on his hands very skillfully. It's easy to do.

The two carried the body to a cool place, and the clerk had already spread a mat on the ground.

"Huaiying, help me remember it."

"Okay."

Song Zhen took a deep breath, held a piece of ginger in his mouth, and then reached out to touch the head of the corpse.

"Corpse, male, age unknown."

Di Renjie interrupted, "Wait, how do you know it's a male?"

Song Zhen pointed unhappily, "Can't you see such a small piece of Kun Kun?"

Di Renjie smiled awkwardly.

It's a bit shabby that it's still so small after being swollen.

However, it's possible that it was gnawed in half.

Song Zhen's attention returned to the corpse, and he said in a deep voice.

"The body is rotten, with nearly half of the head exposed to the bone, and the tissue inside the skull festering and melting."

"One eyeball has fallen off, all ears are gone, the nose is detached, and the mouth is rotten and the teeth are exposed."

"The face is completely destroyed and the true face cannot be identified."

He peeled off the flesh and took a closer look: "There are no scars on the flesh and bones of the head. The cause of death is most likely not a heavy blow to the head."

Then, he looked at the chest, which had already exposed the bones, and the organs inside were probably fused with the well water.

Wait a minute!

Song Zhen narrowed his eyes, he peeled off the flesh and blood, and suddenly noticed that there was a knife scratch on the second to last rib on the lower left chest of the deceased!

What does this mean?

It is very likely that this is the fatal injury!

So, he quickly asked Tian Qi to help turn the chest over.

Sure enough!

There was a wound on the back, fortunately it was not completely rotten! It can still be seen clearly.

Song Zhen abandoned this place first and checked if there were any other new discoveries elsewhere.

"No problem!"

This means that the cause of death of the deceased is very likely that he was stabbed in the chest with a knife from behind.

Seeing Song Zhen suddenly silent, Di Renjie did not dare to disturb him.

"It was murder, not suicide." Song Zhen stood up and said slowly, "And according to the degree of decay of the wound, the deceased should have been thrown into this well some time after being killed."

Song Zhen pointed to the ribs on the chest of the deceased, and said after peeling off the flesh and blood: "Look here, there are knife scratches."

"Look at the back again, the wound is clearly visible, and there are also scratches on the spine."

According to "Xiyuan Jilu": "The corpse is rotten, the wounds are damaged by beatings or blades, the skin and flesh are red, the deep ones are blue-black, the bones are not rotten, and the insects cannot eat them."

In other words, the parts injured by swords are not easy to rot.

What is the principle? It may be that metal substances have penetrated, and maggots don't like to eat them.

Di Renjie asked, "How do you know that the deceased was stabbed in the back?"

Song Zhen raised his eyebrows: "Is there any difference between the front and the back?"

Indeed, for this case, since it was not the first crime scene, it didn't matter whether it was the front or the back.

It is enough to know that the deceased died from a sword piercing his chest.

However, Song Zhen patiently explained, "You can tell by the shape of the wound."

"The wound on the back is large, the wound on the chest is small, and the incision is smooth, which means that it was caused by a straight-blade sword."

"I understand."

Tian Qi clapped his hands, startling a wave of juice.

Fuck!

What are you doing?

Song Zhen and Di Renjie quickly ran away. Why are you clapping for no reason?

Perhaps Tian Qi realized something, so he smiled foolishly.

"Langguan, you are really amazing!" In Tian Qi's heart, Song Zhen is simply a god.

If you haven't killed a few people, you will definitely not understand it so clearly.

Awesome.

However, Di Renjie frowned.

This autopsy seemed to have yielded some results, but in fact, there was no key information.

First, who was the deceased? I don't know.

Second, who killed the deceased? I don't know.

Third, why was the deceased's body dumped here? I don't know.

......Governor Lu hid very far away, almost to the gate of the yard. He said with disgust: "Okay, since it's a headless case, bury it quickly."

Out of sight, out of mind, Lu Yang now just wanted to run away.

Song Zhen showed a harmless smile again: "Dear Governor Lu..."

"Don't call me!"

"This is just a preliminary examination, the body needs to be re-examined."

When Lu Yang heard this, his heart was lifted. You kid, you won't open the body again, right?

Don't do it, brother, I'm really afraid of you.

However, Lu Yang then thought that the Tang Dynasty did not allow the case to be closed lightly on the grounds of a headless body. If the local officials could not handle the suspicious case, the Dali Temple would take action.

He swallowed his saliva and felt dry in his mouth.

Lu Yang took the bamboo tube handed over by the groom, just raised his head to drink it all, and then his peripheral vision accidentally caught a glimpse of the well...

He hesitated.

Damn, why am I a little scared?

"I'm leaving first. You guys just stay here and help Di Facao, okay?"

The clerk looked at Lu Shishi's back with contempt. Go, go, go, you are a leader, how dare you clock out first?

After Lu Shishi left, Song Zhen turned around and stared at the well.

Because too much time had passed, the traces around the well had been smoothed by the weather, and even in the yard, there was no trace of the past.

Di Renjie walked up to the owner of the house and asked, "When did you find out that the well water was smelly?"

The owner replied with a sad face, "Sir, can you please not mention this? Ugh--"

"......"

After a while, the owner of the house said, "About three days ago, we came back from Kaifeng County."

"Wait, you haven't been home all this time?"

"Yes. Some time ago, my family went to Kaifeng County to visit relatives."

Di Renjie registered on the paper, and he continued to ask, "Do you have any enemies?"

At this point, the owner's eyes suddenly became sinister.

"An enemy! There must be one!"

"Who is it?"

"The chicken seller in the north of the city! Cai Jiu!"

Before Di Renjie asked, the owner of the house took the initiative to say: "Cai Jiu is a bastard! He is always thinking about my wife."

"?"

"He is always sly and even flirts with me! Then, I asked someone to beat him up. He must have held a grudge and killed someone and threw the body into my well."

"Fighting is illegal, and hiring people to fight is even more serious, do you know?"

The owner of the house hurriedly slapped himself in the face: "Puh, puh, puh, Langguan, I'm sorry, I really didn't do it. I thought about it, but I didn't dare."

Di Renjie got three pieces of information from the owner of the house.

"First, they were not at home some time ago and only came back three days ago.

Second, their relatives are in Kaifeng County.

Third, he has an enemy named Cai Jiu."

In this case, let's go to the north of the city to investigate Cai Jiu first.

In fact, Di Renjie overlooked a very critical common sense issue, which led him to go in the wrong direction from the beginning.

......
