The Underworld Detective

We went back to the county in a police car, and I deliberately lowered myself when I passed by the house. If my aunt saw me in a police car when she was out shopping for food, it would probably be time to ask.

Coming to the county public security bureau, several policemen brought the body in, and Lu introduced me to that all the way, saying how he had been a criminal police officer all these years, hoping that we could go back and say a few good words to the director. Again pointing to a prize certificate on the wall, he proudly said that he took it. I thought it was a solved case. At first glance, it said 'Third Prize of the City Public Security Table Tennis Competition'. This criminal policeman is really laid back.

The morgue was already a warehouse. Several policemen packed up the groceries and parked the bodies for us. Naturally, there was no equipment. Sun Bingxin complained: “There is not even a forensic laboratory. How can we do this? Do you want me to go to your house and get your things? ”

I said, "No, that's all right, that's all. ”

An autopsy with the naked eye is a fundamental feat, and the circumstances of this body are not too complicated and do not require the use of tools.

I asked Sun Bingxin to buy some purple vegetables to burn into seagrass ash. She came back soon. I blew the burned seagrass ash on the clothes of the deceased. I didn't expect to get a lot of fingerprints this time, there were about five or six groups.

Sun Bing was surprised: “That's enough fingerprints! Is there a bunch of killers? ”

I said, "Bring me a scissors. ”

I took the scissors she handed over, cut off the clothes of the deceased, revealed some dirt from the clothes, Officer Lu said: “Why so much dirt, I'll dust you off! ”

I glanced at him immediately and said, "Don't move! ”

I sniffed a little bit of dirt, then folded it in a piece of paper and shoveled them up carefully so that Sun Bingxin could smell it. She smelled it and said, "Stinky? ”

I decided to test her: "Can you tell what kind of smell it is? ”

“It smells like rot," she said. ”

I nodded: "Yes! ”

The victim had a large area of erythema and some scratches on her hands and feet, but it was not serious, as if the clothes were left behind, and I said, "This clothing was forcibly worn on her, which is why she left so many fingerprints, combined with dirt that smelled like rot. What do you think? ”

Sun Bingxin thought about it and finally shook his head: “I can't think of anything! ”

I laughed, "I'll give you some more tips. ”

I took some dirt and baked it on the alcohol lamp for a while. I told Officer Lu to turn it off. When the room darkened, I saw some faint light blue light coming out of the dirt. It was also illusory. Officer Lu was shocked: “What is this...? ”

Sun Bingxin's first reaction came: “Is there phosphorus in the soil? ”

Phosphorus is a very low ignition substance that burns when slightly heated and contains a large amount of phosphorus in the human skeleton, which penetrates into the soil after decomposition, so ghost fire floats can often be seen on the head during summer nights.

I said, "Yes! ”

Sun Bingxin replied: "So this earth is gravel, the deceased wears such clothes, ah, I get it, with the underage marriage! ”

I asked Officer Lu to turn on the lights and explain: “The earth contains a lot of phosphorus, proving that the family who married the underage, like my family, had ancestral graves, indicating that the family used to be a large family. ”

I look at Inspector Lu, he's on duty here, he should know better than me.

Officer Lu sighed: “The biggest family in the county is the Song family. I heard that the Song family used to be chief officers. Once the Song family's disciples landed, there were three acres of land... Counsellor Song, aren't you the Song family? ”

I said, "Yes, but not as exaggerated as you said. ”

There are three acres of land, completely fabricated by outsiders, but the Songs did have a huge family business in the past, and then gradually fell.

I asked, "What are the big families in the surrounding towns? ”

Officer Lu said: "I'll have someone check it out in a minute! ”

Sun Bingxin asked me, “Is he buried alive because he has dirt on him? ”

I said, "Probably! ”

“In that case, it was intentional murder.” Sun Bingxinxiu frowned slightly.

I said, "It was an attempted murder, because he escaped. ”

Sun Bing asked curiously, "How do you know he escaped? ”

I raised the hand of the deceased, and the nail on it cracked, and I explained: "The deceased had a wooden prick in his hand, and the nail cracked, which should have been the result of hard work to push the coffin away. He had no signs of being beaten or tied up, no signs of being twisted in his joints after he died, and I assumed that he escaped from the coffin, was unfamiliar with his place of life, saw a car parked there and climbed up and tried to escape by car. ”

Sun Bingxin continued: “But why did he die? Is it sudden death? ”

I said, "It was sudden death, but the direct cause of death is unclear...” I stared at the prick on the victim's finger and asked Sun Bingxin, “Can you test what kind of wood this is? ”

She shook her head helplessly: "I can't test it without the tools. ”

I grabbed the victim's foot and stared at the soles of his shoes. The victim's foot was also wearing an ancient pair of boots. Sun Bingxin asked me what I saw. I said, "Should we go home for dinner? ”

Sun Bing smiled and punched me: “It's really exciting, what about eating! ”

I said, "No, I can't go home at all. If your aunt wants to scold you, just go! ”

Officer Lu shook hands in a row: "No, no, I'll buy you two dinner tonight. Give me a face! I also called my men to speak to the advisor Song. ”

I said, "No, the house is ready. See you tomorrow! ”

When he left, Officer Lu asked me what he had to do. I asked him to investigate the recent death records of the entire county, and Officer Lu said yes.

Leaving the public security bureau, Sun Bingxin asked: “Why did you suddenly fail to check in half...”

I laughed, "Guess! ”

She turned her eyes and said, "Ah, I see. If you're afraid to go through the case again, you'll let them solve it. You don't want to be cheap anymore, Lu. ”

I nodded: “So smart, I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, I'll wait for Officer Ma to come tomorrow to continue the investigation. ”

After eating at home, I took out a handwritten copy of "Miscellaneous Poisons" and read it. This is the Toxicology Encyclopedia written by an ancestor of the Song family called Song Hao Qian. Because I fear it will be used as a reference book for poisoning in the world, it has never been published, only a handwritten copy will be left behind.

The winter nights in the south were so cold, I sat on my bed with a hot water bag and read a book. Sun Bingxin came in with a pajama sliding door and said: “TV is not nice at all, Brother Song Yang, you are reading an ancient book again, tell me a story! ”

And I said, "This book is boring. ”

Sun Bing's heart whispered: “I want to hear your story! ”

After she rubbed it into my quilt, shook my arm and told me to tell a story. I got bored with her, so I picked out some chapters from the book related to folklore to tell her. For example, what kind of poison? You can kill a man by taking a plume feather bubble in the water. There is also a little bug called a short fox. You can shoot a human shadow. You get sick. That's how the word "sand shadow" comes.

Sun Bingxin felt that these were not good enough, so I told her about the legend of King Sun Sixue's rescue of the tiger medical dragon. Sun Bingxin heard the taste. In the middle, Sun Sixuan was staying at his sister's house, eating white meal every day. My brother-in-law was very disgusted. Sister said that I would just fake the disease. You cured me, and your brother-in-law wouldn't kick you out.

Therefore, Sister Sun Sixuan wiped her body with the leaves of the acacia tree, rubbed the green oil, and lay on the bed for a disease-free groan. Suddenly, Sun Sixuan gave her pulse one to Tao Da and cried, saying that she was hopeless.

Sister said I was pretending. Why are you getting serious? Sun Shiqiao cried and said that your acacia poisoned your liver, it was no longer helpful.

Speaking of which, I suddenly woke up and was about to say to Sun Bingxin that she had fallen asleep beside me.
