Chapter 67 Clues on the Corpse

Seeing the wolf dog roaring at Sun Shidong at the gate of the courtyard, Liu Hua felt aroused in his heart and looked at the wolf dog with great meaning. Liu Hua began his autopsy work. It was summer and Widow Li's body had been seriously decayed.

Liu Hua first took out two garlic cloves, broke them apart, applied the juice of the garlic cloves under his nostrils, and then tied them to his nose with a handkerchief soaked in advance. After doing these, Liu Hua felt that he could still smell the slight stench of the corpse.

"I... why is it still so smelly? Feudal society is just backward, and there is not even a gas mask or rubber gloves. Judging from this situation, my buddy can only do it. I hate the autopsy in summer."

After complaining in his heart, Liu Hua endured the stench of the corpse and started his autopsy work. First, he untied the shroud on the deceased. Because the corpse was so rotten, Liu Hua was stained with the skin and flesh on the corpse during the process of untiing the shroud.

"Woo...ah...ah...ah..." Tong Zhen sent Zhang Laoshi away and returned to the scene. Seeing Liu Hua performing an autopsy next to the coffin, he looked forward curiously and looked at it. With this glance, Tong Zhen vomited out disgustingly.

He had seen coroners' post-mortem before, but the corpses were all dead who had just died, so the corpse smell was not so serious and the degree of rot was not so severe. However, some of the flesh on this corpse was rotten into a paste, which looked very disgusting, so Tong Zhen's reaction was so great.

Tong Zhen was vomiting, and suddenly felt a cool breeze coming from behind. Then, someone was patting his back. He looked back and saw Liu Hua looking at him with concern: "Chief, are you okay?"

He looked at Liu Hua with gratitude, and Tong Zhen replied: "I'm fine. Thank you Constable Liu for being too old. I'm a little uncomfortable when I see this kind of scene. I'm much better now, so Constable Liu doesn't need to take pictures."

After saying that, Tong Zhen stood up, took out a handkerchief and wiped his mouth, and wanted to say a few words of scenes, and then found an excuse to leave. But at this moment, he saw Liu Hua holding a post-mortem knife in his left hand, while his right hand was covered with some meat paste.

Seeing this, Tong Zhen stared at Liu Hua with wide eyes and asked with a trembling mouth: "You, you, you, you can't pat my back with your right hand, right?"

"Nonsense, haven't you seen me holding a knife in my left hand?" After saying that, Liu Hua shook his head for no reason. Seeing that Tong Zhen stopped vomiting, he returned to the coffin to continue the autopsy.

Just as Liu Hua lowered his head, he heard another vomiting sound from the door: "Vomit...Vomit..." Seeing Tong Zhen's reaction so loudly, Liu Hua had to stop the work in his hand and wanted to go over and pat Tong Zhen's back again.

After hearing Liu Hua's footsteps, Tong Zhen ran aside without saying a word: "Don't touch me, Constable Liu, don't think too much. I'm not having any objection to you, but allergic to the flesh and soreness on your hands.

I can't stand that thing. I have spit out all the food I ate yesterday. If you pat me for the back, I guess I will spit out the food I ate last year. You are busy first. I will go back and take a shower and change my clothes."

After the words came to an end, Tong Zhen turned around and ran outside without waiting for Liu Hua to answer. After seeing Tong Zhen's situation, Sun Shidong squatted on the wall with a proud look on his face, and said to himself: "Fortunately, the young master is wise and powerful, and he didn't go to help open the coffin just now. Otherwise, I would have vomited even worse than this chief of the chief."

After seeing Tong Zhen's reaction, Liu Hua seemed to have thought of something. After thinking for a while, he returned to the coffin. Without the interference of outsiders, Liu Hua was finally able to calm down and take the autopsy.

Through the examination, Liu Hua found a wound below the abdomen of the deceased, which was about five centimeters long, and the spleen and stomach in the deceased's body were punctured. It was initially judged that the deceased died of internal organs and excessive blood loss.

Based on the shape of the wound and the depth of organ damage in the body, Liu Hua concluded that the murder weapon was a dagger about twenty centimeters long, because the wound was four centimeters below the navel of the corpse, and it stabbed into the body of the deceased from bottom to top.

After stabbing into the deceased from this part, it can stab the deceased's stomach. If the dagger is shorter than 20 centimeters, it will not cause any damage. However, this dagger of this length is very obvious. Why did the deceased not notice it before being killed?

In addition, Zhang honestly said before that he had seen Widow Li at the entrance of the village three days ago. Widow Li seemed to be waiting for someone, which means that Widow Li had not been killed three days ago.

But now there is a suspicion. From the time when the villagers discovered the deceased was killed yesterday, it was only two days at most. Even if Widow Li was killed three days ago, it has only been about three days so far. Logically speaking, the body should not rot to this extent.

Moreover, the way the dagger penetrates the dead person's body is a bit strange. The bottom-up method of stabbing must be close. The deceased is a widow and pays more attention to reputation on weekdays.

If the murderer is a man, the deceased should not let the other party get too close to her in order to take into account her reputation. Then under what circumstances will the deceased have come into close contact with the murderer? Is the murderer a woman?

After carefully checking the body, he found that there was no clue. Liu Hua sorted out the body, then put on a mourning suit for the deceased, covered the coffin lid, and nailed the coffin nails tightly with blue bricks. Liu Hua finished all this before he finished work.

After washing his hands, Liu Hua waved his hand to Sun Shidong. After Sun Shidong entered the house, Liu Hua asked him to go to the village to explore the situation and asked the villagers who carried Widow Li into the coffin? Who changed the shroud for her? Also, why did not send anyone from her parents' home after Widow Li died?

When Sun Shidong left the yard, Liu Hua began to investigate the residence of the deceased. Because Tong Zhen had surveyed it before, Liu Hua did not have much hope for it.

There are three main houses in Widow Li's home. Usually, Widow Li lives in the east room and the west room is used to store clothes and some daily necessities. The house in the middle is a living room. Now the layout of the coffin is parked in the middle room, while the other two houses are the same as before.

After coming to the east room, Liu Hua saw that the bedding on the kang was lifted up, the drawers on the dressing table were also opened, two empty jewelry boxes were thrown aside, and there were some debris underground. It seemed that the murderer seemed to be looking for money.

After seeing the east room, Liu Hua came to the west room again. The west room was overturned even more messy. The boxes where the deceased stored their clothes were opened, many of the clothes were turned out, and then all were thrown on the ground.

Not only that, pots, pans, tea sets, water cups, and other daily necessities were also scattered all over the floor. It seemed that the murderer searched very carefully, and he didn't even let go of the tea box or rice jar.

After looking at the rice poured out on the ground and the clothes thrown on the ground, Liu Hua picked up a pile of clothes casually. The pile of clothes was stacked very flat. Even if they were thrown underground, the clothes were not messy and still looked very neat. From this point, it can be seen that the deceased was a very careful person during his lifetime.
