Chapter 205, Recipe for Preserving Corpse

Liu Yanchun confirmed with a stern face, "Yes, rice bran."

"So what's wrong with rice bran?"

Chen Yuan didn't understand very well why everyone looked very serious.

Regarding her question, Guan Magistrate Guan, Yu Quan and Liu Yanchun both looked surprised.

"You don't even know this?"

"I... should I know?"

Chen Yuan was not confident. After all, she was not a pure ancient. The era she lived in had been carrying out cremation for nearly a hundred years. She really didn't understand what rituals needed for burial. This is her blind spot in knowledge.

"It's okay, it's okay."

"So there are some things that Chen Luxiu doesn't understand."

The few people felt relieved and smiled.

"?"

They made Chen Yuan very puzzled.

Yu Quan explained, "As the saying goes, don't do anything bad, don't be afraid of ghosts calling. Those who do something bad should of course take some precautions. Folk legend says that stuffing rice bran into the mouths of the wronged dead can turn the dead into ghosts and cannot speak, and even when you reach the underworld, you cannot complain to King Yama."

"If you see Rice Bran, you don't need to test the corpses. I'm sure these two corpses must have grievances!" Rice Bran gave Guan the confidence of the magistrate Guan. God really protected the good official who ruled for the people. He must solve the case more in the future!

"Chen Corsair, hurry up and take the autopsy, and find out the grievances that these two corpses want to tell, and speak for them!"

Chen Yuan doesn’t understand the legend of rice bran, so she still believes in the autopsy results more.

The county magistrate Guan urged her, Chen Yuan rolled up her sleeves, called Liu Yanchun, and carefully lifted the burnt corpse in the coffin.

The onlookers also heard about rice bran and they came to verify.

It was found that there was rice bran in the corpse.

"Who stuffed rice bran into Miss Sheng's mouth? It's so vicious!"

"Did Mr. Sheng offend someone? The man set fire to death by Miss Sheng, but he also secretly stuffed rice bran into the body."

"The girl who caused trouble also had rice bran stuffed in her mouth. She is not a member of the Sheng family."

"Old Master Sheng is so nice to Miss Sheng. He will definitely check her condition before the burial. How could someone stuff rice bran into it?"

"What do you mean? Do you want to say that it was the rice bran stuffed into the mouth of Old Master Sheng?"

"It's ridiculous. How much Mr. Sheng loves Miss Sheng, everyone in Weiyu County knew about it."

"Some people must be jealous of Mr. Sheng's business being big, and deliberately revenge on Miss Sheng. The revenge has not been completed yet, so they sealed the mouths of Miss Sheng and the maid Miaoyun. Seventeen years later, they killed Mr. Sheng's son-in-law and took revenge!"

"Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk, no wonder the yamen wanted to open a coffin and examine the autopsy. Sure enough, Sheng Dongyue's death was related to Master Yu's death, and they were all fucked by the same person."

The people's speculation became more and more outrageous. Chen Yuan blocked everyone's discussion and carefully examined the autopsy.

The burnt corpse will shrink and will be much smaller than the original body.

So the corpse of "Full Winter Moon" looks only about 140cm tall at this moment.

Because when "Sheng Winter Yue" was burned to death, her legs were straightened, her upper body rotated to the right and then lying on her back, in order to allow her to lie in the coffin, someone used brute force to break her lumbar spine and force it straightened her, making her look like she was lying in the coffin in a slightly awkward position.

Chen Yuan cut the shroud on the female corpse of "Sheng Winter Moon" and was shocked to find that the charred corpse of the female corpse was unbalancedly distributed with yellow solid paste oil. Not only that, there were many white crystals on the black skin of the charred corpse.

"Senior sister, why are you stunned?"

Chen Yuan stopped singing the newspaper and stared at the body in a daze. Liu Yanchun walked to her side and urged her.

"The amount of corpse oil is wrong, there is too much oil." Chen Yuan frowned and thought.

Generally, the burning point of animal fat is between 300-500℃, and the working temperature of the crematorium in later generations is 700-1000℃. It can not only burn bones to ashes, but also burn corpse oil as fuel gas.

Therefore, there will be no urban rumors that the crematorium oil will be collected and sold to roadside stalls, because there is no residual oil.

The temperature at the fire site can reach 400℃, which can burn corpse oil out of corpse oil, but it will also turn corpse oil into a combustion aid to consume a lot of consumption, but it will not consume corpse oil completely.

In this case, corpse oil will appear on the scorched corpse, but it is impossible for so much corpse oil to remain on this corpse.

County Magistrate Ge has been a coroner for a long time, and he has also seen the burnt corpse, "Chen Corsair, do you mean, this female corpse was splashed with oil?"

"Yes." Chen Yuan nodded.

Then, her glove-wearing hand held bamboo tweezers and took a part of the white crystals from the scorched corpse.

Put it in the palm of his hand and rub it. After confirming the guesswork, he knew what the white crystal was, so he handed it to the three adults standing beside him to check, "Sir, look, what does this white crystal look like?"

The magistrate Guan is not sure, "Like... salt?"

County Magistrate Wei also had an answer in his mind, but he just held his hands and didn't want to speak.

County Magistrate Ge was extremely confident, "It's salt!"

The yamen runners were also puzzled, "How come there is so much salt on the body?"

Yes, under normal circumstances, there is no way there is so much crystal salt on the body.

The melting point of salt is 801 degrees. Generally, the fire will not reach the ignition point of edible salt, and the salt will not become a combustion aid. Therefore, this fire did not burn the salt.

Some of the people watching nearby also had a great enlightenment, "For the purpose of lard to keep it longer, we will add salt when refining lard."

A gentleman is far away from the kitchen, and the three adults only know that spring and autumn do not understand life. After listening to the people's words, their thoughts suddenly became clear.

Magistrate Guan suddenly realized, "That is to say, Sheng Dongyue's body was poured on lard that had not yet solidified to help burn. How did she be burned to death?"

"This is in the old house of Sheng family. Who knows that the kitchen has just refined lard? It has successfully taken it out and poured it on Sheng Dongyue?" Ge County Wei Yue speculated that his face became worse and worse, and he felt that the truth might not be accepted.

He even turned his head and looked at Yu Enming, who was sitting dejectedly on the ground and covering his forehead.

Chen Yuan returned to the scorched corpse and continued to dissection the corpse.

She first moved the knife at the most suspicious arm.

The burnt skin on the arms was peeled off, revealing the pure white bones inside, and there were cracks like lightning on the bones.

As the guessed situation, she sang, "The humerus on the upper arm of the right hand, the radius on the lower arm, and the ulnar of the ulnar are cracks. They should be hit by gravity, and the force of breaking the bones is enough to cause muscle damage."

"There are no cracks in the humerus, radius, and ulnar on the left hand, and there are no cracks in the lower limb bones."

County Magistrate Ge sighed in a low voice and said his speculation to Magistrate Guan, "As expected, as Chen Junzuo's previous speculation, the female corpse was lying on the bed in such a position. It should have been put on the bed by the murderer when she was weak after being sweating. Then the murderer poured the lard that had just been refined and had not yet solidified on the unconscious woman. The woman woke up... Perhaps she was awakened by the lard, she reached out to beg for mercy and grabbed the murderer. In order to get rid of the woman's entanglement, the murderer suddenly hit her arm. The woman's arm was weak and relaxed, and then... the murderer lit a fire."
