The Tang Dynasty’s Female Forensic Doctor

It is true that not many people watched this autopsy, but only He Temple Zheng, along with two other officials from the Da Lisi Temple and a paperwork.

“Test." Vanity sounded a little low.

The bookkeeper next to Liu Qingsong had never seen a woman, looked at an uninformed female corpse, and his eyes were still so “deep”. He was a little distracted, and Liu Qingsong stabbed him in the cold.

“The deceased Doe's daughter, 17 years old, about five feet and five inches tall, well developed...” Van Yan first said of the basic condition.

Valjen started by scrutinizing his head, and there was a lot of blood on his face, but he couldn't see any wounds, and there were no symptoms like slight swelling, which was not normal! She had never seen the whole skin exuding blood, but nothing unusual had happened.

The blood vessels of the human body are buried in the flesh, and if you want to destroy them, there is cortical protection outside, and if the cortex is not traumatized, it is impossible to bleed on such a large scale.

Valjen dipped a little vinegar in a cotton cloth and gently wiped the blood on the body's face.

Easily wiped off, revealing some swollen, purple skin underneath.

Once again, Valjen carefully examined the entire face. The blood may have passed through the deceased or his servants' hands and wiped it. It was already a little lame, but the overall direction of the blood was to drip columnar from the forehead to the jaw, and then drip onto the clothes, almost the entire face, but experienced forensic physicians know that the columnar blood marks are usually formed after the menstrual bleeding, which makes it easier to show where the wound is located, but...

Valjen carefully examined the head and forehead and found no wounds and only a small amount of blood stained.

Because it was covered in hair, this examination lasted a long time, but everyone in the room was attracted by her patient and careful appearance. There was confusion in her mind, what was she looking for?

“Neither the frontal skull nor the facial skin showed any obvious wounds and could not cause such a large amount of bleeding, suspecting that the blood did not belong to the deceased himself.” Valjen said the results after the head was examined.

“Not your own blood?” He Temple was not surprised by this result, because there had been an autopsy before, and he said that the blood didn't seem to come out of his face, but he couldn't tell exactly what was going on, so he wanted to know why.

"There are two main grounds for this judgment," explains Vaughan. "First, if blood is exuding from the skin, it is generally impossible for the skin to be free of any manifestations such as wounds, and if the blood is evenly exuding from the skin, it does not form such columnar blood marks. Secondly, this flow of columnar blood is due to the flow of blood from the wound from high to low due to its gravitational effects, which necessarily injure larger venous vessels, but the head of the deceased does not have a visible wound capable of forming a large amount of bleeding. ”

He Temple was stunned before digesting the general meaning of this narrative.

Liu Qingsong added in a timely manner, "The vein is not a menstrual vein, but only a blood vein. If a larger vein is separated, the blood will not be splattered everywhere, but will gush out. He Temple Zheng, you often chop him off, it should feel better. Slitting your wrist is not the same as being beheaded. ”

This is not a glorious thing, He Temple is not looking well, but he still said, "I always thought the splash was because the wound was too big. ”

The aorta is usually buried deep inside the body, and minor injuries do not naturally damage it.

“You're right, brothers don't hide their secrets some other day. Explain it to you. It will be useful for solving cases in the future.” Liu Qingsong Dao.

Doctor's knowledge is generally not passed on externally. Liu Qingsong is so unconstrained, which is also why He Temple is constantly rubbing with him, but has never really turned his face over. He Temple is arching his hands, "Thank you Dr. Liu. ”

While they were talking, Van Yeung had probably checked Si Wang's body. Si Niang's fingers are stained with blood, about when she wipes her cheeks, and her clothes are stained with normal drops of blood.

Valjen's attention was drawn to a bloodstain on her left shoulder, which was huge, but according to normal drops, it was definitely not possible to form such a large amount of blood here.

When Valjen thought about it, she unlocked Sister Do's clothes. She was wearing a skirt. After releasing the strap, the exciting curve straightened Liu Qingsong's eyes. However, when she thought of a body, she immediately lost consciousness.

“Examination, the victim's left shoulder clothing showed large traces of blood, and after undressing, confirmed that the victim had large bruises on his left shoulder, suspected fingerprints.” Valjen saw massive black and purple bruises on her snow and white shoulders, and immediately said.

The suspicion is that the bruises are mixed with the dead spots and very clear fingerprints cannot be identified at the moment.

Once Liu Qingsong was happy, this was enough to prove that the deceased might have been violent before his death, and that they had no motive for killing. If they found the alibi, they could be relieved of the suspicion to a large extent. The most powerful alibi is Li Zhong!

Valjen carefully checked the entire entity, which took an entire half-hour.

Later, he concluded, "The deceased had swollen face, had a bleeding point under the ocular conjunctiva, and was suspected to have died of asphyxiation. ”

“The ocular conjunctiva is a layer of membrane that covers the white part of the eye inside the eyelid and in front of the eye, and if the deceased cannot breathe, such as being covered with something, or strangled or self-inflicted, there will be needle-tipped blood spots on that membrane.” Liu Qingsong said that he removed a tweezer from the toolbox, clamped the upper eyelid of the body, and pulled it apart, pointing it at He Temple.

After Liu Qingsong kept explaining beside him, He Temple was basically able to understand, but like an ocular subconjunctival hemorrhage could be suffocation, they would also suspect, after all, never knew before.

During the autopsy in Suzhou, Liu Pinjian's attitude was that, just need to know the results, the process is not important, so some professional nouns can ignore it as much as possible, without which it doesn't matter, as long as the murderer is caught, and the case can make sense, the evidence of witnesses is there, plus the murderer's confession, everything will be fine. Those officials obviously don't have the Da Lisi to learn these well.

“On this issue, He Temple may want to go back and try to cover up a few, but there are not many death row inmates anyway.” Van Yeung physically put the clothes on Si Si Si's body, while not salting the way.

But when she spoke, several men in the house felt a cold sweat on their heads.

He Temple Zhengdao, “Does the woman say so lightly that people's lives cannot be played? ”

Isn't life a trick in the hands of power? If you want to, but you haven't said it yet, just say, "If the dead look more, they can see life and death a lot less. He Temple can try it if you don't believe it. ”

He Temple is usually slaughtered, looking at the process of death, and all he normally sees are corpses, fresh, corrupt, and a bunch of white bones.

“So Si Niang was covered?” He Temple was staring into his dark eyes and shifting the subject. I thought, "Go back and really cover up a few."

She shook her head, “There are no strangulation marks on the neck of the deceased, it may have been covered, but not necessarily, pneumonia, rabies, etc. may be suffocating, and possibly poisoning. He Temple can go to check Si Si Si's medical history, if not, I tend to suspect her poisoning.” (To be continued.
