Datang: Li Er, are you teaching me how to do things?

Chapter 85 Autopsy
It is still necessary to check the wounds on the head, so as to determine whether these girls really died from a blow to the head.

If these people were stoned to death, they would have bruises on their heads, red blood stains on their bones, and blood clots.

If they were hit on the head after death, the damaged part of their bones will not have the above characteristics.

This is very common knowledge in later generations, and anyone who has a little knowledge of forensic science knows it, but it is not necessarily the case at this time.

Li Yun then used a knife to open the wound, looked carefully, and found that there were no blood clots in these places, although there were some blood stains, but they were all black blood.

Li Yun frowned. Judging from the wound, the man was clearly hit on the head after death.

He then checked other corpses and found that three were smashed after death and two were smashed before death.

That is to say, three victims were killed by other means, and two people were killed by sharp objects.

According to Yang Zhi's words, Li Yun determined that the two most recently injured were killed by sharp weapons.

From beating after death, to beating people alive from behind to death.

This is a very important clue, but the previous work did not find it out.

I don't know if the white-haired assistant didn't understand or was negligent.

Yang Zhi kept looking at Li Yun's expression, saw Li Yun frowning, and then quickly checked the other corpses, even though he felt that Li Yun probably didn't understand the work, he still asked a question.

"Your Highness, have you found anything?"

Li Yun nodded, and then said: "There is a problem with the previous verification results."

Hearing the words, the old Wu Zuo jumped up like a cat with its hair blown, and asked hissingly, "Why did Your Highness say such a thing?"

Li Yun glanced at the old Wuzuo, and said slowly: "How long have you been doing Wuzuo, sir?"

"It's been a long time. In the former Sui Dynasty, I was the coordinator."

The old Wu Zuo was very proud and said a word slowly.

Li Yun sighed, and then asked: "Does the gentleman know the difference between a heavy blow after death and a heavy blow before death?"

The old Wuzuo paused slightly, then shook his head, "Is there a difference?"

Well, this old man is not a problem of attitude, but a problem of ability.

"Your Highness, is there any difference between the blow after death and the blow before death?"

Yang Zhi also asked a question.

Li Yun then explained the difference between the severe blow after death and the severe blow before death. He finally said: "The trauma of any animal has this characteristic."

The old butcher stared blankly at Li Yun. He didn't have the courage to refute. Although he hadn't verified it yet, what Li Yun said should be correct.

Yang Zhi was also stunned, this truth is actually easy to understand, but they had never doubted it before, so they didn't even discover such an obvious truth.

So how did Li Yun know?

Did the Prince of the Tang Dynasty like the work that Wu Zuo did, or did Li Yun know about it a long time ago because he is well-informed.

The two Dali Temple officials were also stunned. They actually brought Wu Zuo here, but the two Wu Zuo came to call him brothers and sisters. They only examined the first three corpses, but did not examine the latter two corpses.

So they also perfectly missed the truth of the matter.

If it wasn't for Li Yun's discovery, I'm afraid they would never have been able to discover the negligence of the assistant of Dali Temple in this matter.

The old Wu Zuo was the first to react, and hurriedly knelt down, "Your Highness, the little old man really doesn't understand this truth, please make amends, Your Highness."

"It's okay, I didn't come here to trouble you, just get up, and remember it later."

Yang Zhi said at this time: "Your Highness, why do you think the thief behind started beating people to death?"

He still didn't care much about Li Yun's opinion before, thinking that Li Yun, the prince of the Tang Dynasty, came here to lie down and win.

But now he pays some attention to Li Yun's words, after all, Li Yun's performance has shown that he didn't come here to play in the mountains.

Li Yun said with a smile: "Serial murder cases actually have a gradual process. The thief first used poison or other methods to kill people, and then tortured the corpses to retaliate."

"Later, he became more direct, which meant that the previous method could no longer satisfy the evil purpose in his heart, so he became more tyrannical, and he began to directly beat people to death."

It was the first time Yang Zhi heard such an analysis of criminal psychology, his eyes lit up, and he nodded, "Your Highness makes sense."

"Let me take a look at the esophagus of these three people to see if they were poisoned."

Li Yun then took out a long silver needle and inserted it into the stomachs of the first three victims.

The use of silver needles to test poisons in this way is actually not very standard, and some toxins cannot be detected by silver needles.

But some can be detected, it depends on luck.

The ancients were generally taboo to disembowel the dead, so if possible, Li Yun did not intend to dissect the corpse.

The silver needle was quickly taken out, and part of the needle tip was much darker in color.

This means that there is toxin in this person's gastric juice, which makes the silver needle darker.

Li Yun was overjoyed, he did not expect to test it directly.

Lao Wu Zuo and Yang Zhi were also stunned, and they both looked at Li Yun in disbelief.

The old Wu's work was due to the head injury. He took it for granted that this person should have died from a severe blow to the head, and did not consider other possibilities at all.

He realized he was about to be scolded again.

But Yang Zhi didn't expect that Li Yun, the prince of the Tang Dynasty, was also so professional, and he completely defeated the old master who they had always thought was very powerful.

"Very well, I'm sure. The murderer was a little scared at the beginning. He killed the three people with poison. Later, he gradually became more courageous, and then began to directly smash people to death."

Yang Zhi nodded, "Then where should we investigate next?"

"Let's find the sixth victim first."

"There...is there a victim?"

"The murderer's first three times were separated by about seven days, and the next two times were separated by four days. This also agrees with my analysis of the murderer's psychology. Later, he became more crazy and the interval between killings was shorter. The distance between the last case has now passed. Nine days."

Li Yun's tone was much more serious, "If the murderer wasn't injured and sick, then within the past nine days, he must have done bad things, and there is a high probability that there will be a sixth injured person."

Yang Zhi smiled wryly and nodded, "His Highness's analysis makes sense."

At this time, the two officials of Dali Temple stepped forward and saluted: "Your Highness, can we convey your words to Master Huang."

The psychological changes of these two were more serious than Yang Zhi, because inside Dali Temple, everyone has almost reached a consensus.

That is, Li Yun came to Fuzhou this time to study the work of their Dali Temple, not the main force to solve the case.

But the two just heard Li Yun's words, and they felt that the analysis made by their colleagues in Dali Temple was more reasonable.

They had no choice but to realize that Li Yun's ability to solve crimes might not be weaker than theirs in Dali Temple. Who might find the murderer first?
This is definitely a tragic thing.
