Chapter 425 Autopsy
"To ensure accuracy, you should check it again." Yang Ming suggested.

"Alright, so I won't have any questions later."

Conway put on rubber gloves again and carefully inspected the former Xie Miao's body.

Not to mention, there was a new discovery. A similar burn wound was found on Xie Miao's back shoulder, but it was also found in other places, so Conway didn't pay much attention to it.

After checking again, Conway no longer had the patience he had at the beginning, and quickly took off the gloves on his hands. "It's almost there. It's hard to make new discoveries. Now it's almost certain that Xie Miao's death is..."

"and many more!"

Just when Conway was about to draw a conclusion, he was stopped by Yang Ming.

Conway was puzzled: "What's wrong?"

"Look at the wounds on his calf and shoulder."

Yang Ming's tone was a little anxious, and he could hear that he was nervous, but it was more because of the urgency to get his inner guesses verified.

Conway was already a little impatient, just asked him to check it again, and now he is asked to do this or that, why?Is he, Yang Ming, questioning his ability?He is a layman, dare to question the judgment of a professional.

"There's no need to look any further, isn't this just an ordinary burn?"

"Very important! Hurry up!"

Yang Ming couldn't control his body movements now, so he could only be in a hurry. He was worried that Conway would not listen to his words and miss important information, and his tone became aggressive, even with some order.

"Although I don't know what you think, the control of the body is also in your hands, but this is really important, so please check it again for the truth."

Conway was taken aback, apparently startled by Yang Ming's sudden roar.Yang Ming also realized that he had lost his composure, and coughed twice in embarrassment.

"That... I'm worried about missing some important update information, so I'm a little anxious."

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

Maybe he was really frightened by Yang Ming's roar, but Kang Wei actually obediently picked up the magnifying glass to check Xie Miao's wound again.

According to Conway's inference, the two wounds on the shoulder and calf were scalded by direct contact with the skin.

The back of the deceased's hand was there, and there were still traces of wax liquid. It can be imagined what cruel atrocities the criminals had committed to the deceased.

So it is not impossible to scald the dead with boiling water or directly roast the shoulders and calves of the dead.

But Yang Ming was skeptical about these two wounds. He didn't think they were ordinary burns. They looked the same on the surface, but if you looked closely, you could find the difference.

Perhaps Conway was too confident in himself, so he didn't check it carefully, and he came to a conclusion hastily.

And judging from Conway's current attitude, he will definitely not change his point of view.

"Sit down first, and we'll stroke it later."

Yang Ming also knew that Conway was a professional, while he was an amateur, and what he said might not be very accurate, but his intuition told him that there was really a problem.

Conway threw his camera aside, sat on the office chair, and lit a cigarette, looking indifferent.

Yang Ming also had no choice but to say what should be said, what should be asked should still be asked, but there is no one in ten thousand chance that it will fall on them.

"I think the two places on Xie Miao's shoulder and calf are not burns, but more like burn marks."

Distinguishing whether it is a burn or a scald is mainly distinguished from three aspects.

The first point: the cause of injury is different. Burns refer to skin tissue damage caused by high-temperature liquids and solids, such as hot oil and red-hot metals. Generally speaking, 70 degrees Celsius is enough to cause burns; and burns are not only caused by high temperature Liquid solids, including some chemical substances, etc.

The second point is that the characteristics of the injury are different. Burns usually have blisters but do not damage the dermis. Burns are divided into different grades according to the degree of burns. First-degree burns only injure the epidermis, while second-degree burns involve the superficial layers of the epidermis and dermis and have blisters. , Third-degree burns with full-thickness skin and subcutaneous tissue and even muscles and bones are injured, and the surface is browned or charred.

The third point: the degree of injury is different. Generally speaking, the severity of burns far exceeds that of scalds, and the degree of injury on the surface of the skin can also be clearly seen.

Combining the above three points, it is not difficult to see whether the wound of the deceased was scalded or burnt.

The area on the back of Xie Miao's hand was scalded by the wax dripping from the burning candle. The surface of the skin was red and swollen, and the degree of injury was low.

As for the shoulders and calves, the skin surface is slightly burnt and there is fluid around the wound, which is probably tissue fluid. In addition, the two pieces of skin seem to be pasted together, and they may fall off with a little friction.

"Is it possible... that the victim was burned to death?"

Yang Ming put forward his own point of view, waiting for Conway's next reaction.

Unexpectedly, Kang Wei gave a "chi" laugh, with a sense of ridicule, making it clear that Yang Ming pretended to understand when he didn't understand.

"How is it possible, even if, as you said, the shoulder and calf were burned instead of scalded, the cause of his death cannot be burnt to death.

Leaving aside how he managed to burn only the shoulder and calf without spreading the fire to other places, even if it was really a fire and only burned the calf and shoulder, it would not be fatal.And judging by the extent of his burns, it is estimated that they are only second-degree burns. "

Yang Ming felt that what Conway said was not unreasonable. If it was arson and murder, it should be a large area of ​​burns. How could it be possible that only the shoulders and calves were burned?

Could it be that he was thinking too much?In fact, Conway's conclusion is correct?Is it really that simple?
Yang Ming stared at Xie Miao's body in a daze, wondering if he was just thinking about it, or trying to find the answer from him.

After a cigarette was burned out, Kang Wei calmed down and explained to Yang Ming: "Please believe me, I used to be a forensic doctor, and I dealt with corpses every day. There are thousands and hundreds, and I have seen many of his kind, so I am sure that I did not make a mistake."

No wonder, now Yang Ming understood that Kang Wei was not as simple as an ordinary doctor, or else he could infer so many details based on a few words in just a few minutes.

It's all accumulated experience over the years.

Conway said these words just to let Yang Ming believe in his conclusion and stop entangled.

But Yang Ming is not such an uninitiated person, he changes his opinion just because of a word or two from others.

Even if he is a forensic doctor, so what, he is not a god, people will make mistakes sometimes, not to mention finding evidence from the dead, and there is no evidence to prove it, it is even more difficult, and the harder it is, the greater the probability of making mistakes.

Yang Ming didn't know whether he had made any mistakes or mistakes during the autopsy before, but he knew very well that this time, there must be no mistakes.
