The Tang Dynasty’s Female Forensic Doctor

, , , , , , , , , ,

Yan Yan lit the atractylodes and saponins in front of the coffin, then put on gloves and carefully looked at the bones in the coffin. Due to the long time of burial, the information and traces of the corpse and surrounding areas will gradually disappear with the influence of environment, plants and weather. Moreover, the bones have been moved and the initial appearance has been destroyed. This is undoubtedly bigger. It is difficult to test.

According to everything that the bones present, Yan Yan judges that this is between a woman between the ages of 24 and 10. The pelvic bone has obvious birth scars, and the bones are green and black. It looks shocking. In such a situation, it should be suspected that the deceased died of poisoning during his lifetime. As for the poison, the first thing that Yan Yan thought of was arsenic.

However, it is not that all dead bodies will be blackened, and not all blackened bodies are poisoned. When the bone is oxidized and degraded by organic matter, it may also become dark, so it can only be said to be suspicious.

The main ingredient in arsenic is arsenic. If the deceased is indeed poisoned by arsenic, then the bones must contain arsenic. However, there is no advanced instrument in the Tang Dynasty. How can it be determined that the dead bones contain toxins?

This is indeed a problem. Yan Yan took a look at Su Fu. He would rather have a naked body to show that the body to be tested is really tricky. He trusted her and felt that she could not test the results. No one can test it out. What? I still can't check it out, so I dare to open my mouth and promise, this time just looking for someone to fill it up?

Su Fu was also keenly aware of her gaze, looked up and looked at it. For a moment, she caught a flash of smile in her eyes. It was a kind of self-confidence and a smile. Su Fu indifferently removed his eyes and continued to see her test.

After the observation, Yan Yan hand-kneaded the whole body up and down with his hand, and when the hand pinched a spine, it was obvious that something was different. She beckoned to bring a person holding the torch closer, and looked down carefully to see a crack in the second section of the sternum.

There is a black substance left in the crack, which is likely to be the residue of the soft tissue of the corpse, so this crack is definitely not the case when the group moves the body, but as for the death or death of the deceased, it is necessary to carry out Further judgment.

This part is close to the heart and lungs, and such a crack is worthy of scrutiny.

Yan Yan continued to knead down, the pelvis, pubis, and leg bones were normal. When she reached the foot, she carefully observed the broken little toe of the left foot. The bone at the incision healed well, and it can be concluded that this The toes are cut off before the deceased, and after being cut off, people have lived for at least half a year.

After the inspection, Yan Yan approached a few preconditions, everyone was waiting for her to write the autopsy results, but she wrote a sentence: Can you damage some bones?

She took the paper to hand to Su Fu.

Su Fu glanced at it, but shook the paper and conveyed it. "Why ask if you can damage some bones."

For the person to whisper a few words to the person next to him, the person conveyed: "Yes, but tell us what the damage is."

Yan Yanzhen wrote a few words on the paper and handed it to Su Fu. He was conveyed. "The whole body is black, and it is suspected that it is poisonous in the arsenic. But it is not certain that it must be tested after some methods to get the exact result."

For the person's slight jaw, the gesture can begin.

Yan Yan was not busy starting to move, but let Su Fu borrow a wide knife. Cut a strand of hair from the body and cut a section of the rib near the stomach.

A group of men, watching this smashing blade saw the bones, can not help but start from the soles of the feet to start the cold, especially Su Fu also know that she is a woman, the heart is even more weird.

Yan Yan is self-examined. She put the ribs on top of the fire to heat it up until a smog of gas appeared, then quickly approached it to the broad knife.

This is a simple way to judge whether there is arsenic in the bone. In 1790, a chemist discovered that if the substance contains arsenic, after the substance is heated, the cold metal plate is placed above the steam. A white arsenic oxide layer appears on the metal plate.

In the case of rudimentary conditions, this is also a solution. Yan Yan squinted and saw a layer of hoarse-like material appearing on the wall of the broad knife. It was swept on the paper with a small brush, and it was blown away by the wind. It was not waiting for others to watch it, and it was immediately wrapped up.

Then she tested the hair in the same way.

Most people think that if a person dies in the poison of the sputum cream, most of the toxins are in the body after death. In fact, after the poisoning of the sputum cream, the part of the system with high toxin content is hair.

After depositing a lot of arsenic oxide compounds, Yan Yan continued to study the cracks on the spine. This crack is near the second and the thighs of the chest, close to the heart and lungs. It is wound on the front side, the gap is quite neat, and there is no trace of healing. It is speculated that it may be caused after death.

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

This discovery made Yan Yan sure that the deceased was smashed after death. The purpose of the deceased is that there are many possibilities. It may be to vent their anger. It may not be reassuring. So, make up for it, let her die, no matter what. It is to confuse the judgment of the work, or it may be that the weapon inserted into the heart is coated with a large amount of arsenic...

Yan Yan is more inclined to the latter two possibilities. If it is venting anger, how can it be only a knife? At least two times to achieve the purpose of venting anger! She only checked it carefully, and there were no other scars on the bones.

Yan Yan used vinegar to pour the atractylodes and saponins burned in front of the coffin, and took a smog of smoke. She pulled Su Fu across from the top, indicating that others would cross it again.

Then Yan Yancai sat in front of her and wrote the results of her own autopsy on paper. She did not forget that Su Fu had to change the font, so she deliberately wrote with her left hand. Yan Yan had previously practiced writing with his left hand, and the font was ugly, but it was not slow.

After writing five pages of paper, Yan Yan was only able to hand, and another one was handed to Su Fu.

Su Fu glanced at it and still lit the paper up. He said: "There are two residues of arsenic poison taken from the hair and ribs of the bones. If you suspect, you can take it and test it."

Su Fu handed the two things in the paper bag to the black man, and then passed the autopsy results.

The man used the light of the torch to look at it roughly. The more he saw the surprise in his eyes, the more he couldn’t make the autopsy record so detailed, even the various speculations were clearly written and surprised him. That is, she actually painted the corners and positions of the knife into the body, and speculated that what kind of position can cause such penetration.

These are completely occupational obsessive-compulsive disorder. Once she has made an autopsy report, she will inevitably go to the details and never give anyone a chance to question.

"The period, where is this found?" The black man suddenly made a sound, the sound is fresh, slightly magnetic, is a young man.

Young people are talking to Su Fu.

Yan Yan guessed that the "period" may be the word of Su Fu, Su Fu, Su.

"Not in my generation, since things have been done, please let me know." Su Fu's voice is cold and screaming in the wilderness, and people can't help but chill.

The man did not care, only chuckled, said: "There will be a period."

"Don't forget your promise." Su Fu did not want to be with him, cold reminder.

Yan Yan saw him turn and left, and quickly picked up the toolbox and followed.

There was a quietness in the wilderness, only the sound of the burning of the fire, the air was filled with the slight acidity of aloes, saponins and vinegar.

The rough-sounded man looked up and saw Su Fu walking away, and lowered his voice: "Lang Jun, can you follow him?"

"Tracking?" The young man laughed and seemed to think of something. He was not pleased. "Are you sure you won't be discovered by him? You know him for so long, when you saw him."

The man was silent. In the past, Lang Jun had sent people to follow Su Fu. Unfortunately, he didn’t even find out his details. He was all killed and even Lang Jun received a warning. Because of this, Lang Jun made a big pass. anger.

The only youth in the eyes of the youth flashed a hint of haze, and said to himself slowly: "If you can't use it for me, I will do my best to remove your level."

There is no warning in his words, and the people around him are stunned.

After Su Fu and Yan Yan walked out about two feet, they bypassed a mound, and Su Fucai took her and flew away.

He did not send Yan Yan to Yingmei, but directly took him to the bamboo house where he lived.

In the middle of the month, a piece of cockscomb in the bamboo yard is shining, shaking slightly in the mountain wind. Su Fu ripped off the face towel, and if the unmanned side walked inside the house, he untied the black coat on his body, and his posture was smooth and smooth, and he lifted his hand in one fell swoop.

Yan Yan stunned, heart, this is not going to be honored, right? Thinking about it in my heart, I quickly slammed the cumbersome toolbox and followed it up.

Su Fu only got off to the middle of the coat, loosened his hair, washed his hands and put on a coat, took two cups of tea and walked out, and a cup was stuffed in the face of Yan Yan, seeing her blocking the door, faintly said: Flash off."

Yan Yan sipped her mouth and found that it was still hot, but she did not care about the surprise, and retreated back to the side, followed by: "I don't accept to take a casual look, I said, in a well-lit place, Look carefully and without cover."

Su Fu stood in front of the gallery and drank tea. The broad shoulders hung the robe that was draped behind him. The ink was scattered behind him, only to the back, like a calm mountain. The moonlight was shining on his side like a knife. The face, in front of the red flamingo celosia in front of it, is beautiful.

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