Chapter 17 Leather Gloves
The face of the corpse has been shattered and is already very high, so there is no way to identify the identity. He carefully swept away the white maggots crawling all over the corpse with the branches, and checked the whole body again. Apart from the skin trauma throughout the body, no pricks or fatal cuts were found that were directly through the chest and abdomen organs. He peeled off the scalp and no fractures were found.
This means that the deceased can rule out the possibility that the sharp or blunt means are directly fatal. If there is no other cause of death, it can be determined that the trauma of the deceased will cause him to die due to painful shock. It depends on whether there are any other damage to the internal organs.
Situ Ceya cut the skin layer of the chest and abdominal skin of the corpse in the shape of a character, used bone forceps to break the sternum, opened the chest cavity, and found that the internal organs were not damaged, which means that the external trauma did not cause internal injuries.
Now there is only one cause of death that has not been ruled out, that is poisoning.
There is no poison test instrument in his survey box, so there is no way to conduct poison tests. Fortunately, in ancient times, poisons were basically arsenic, and arsenic poisoning would leave many traces on the stomach and intestines and internal organs, such as leaving white or red-yellow arsenic residues in the wrinkled walls of the gastric mucosa. The gastrointestinal mucosa will bleed and eroded, and the contents of the gastrointestinal intestines are bloody mucus. Some will also produce yellow arsenic sulfide due to the combination of arsenic and hydrogen sulfide, resulting in yellow patches. Due to the paralysis and expansion of capillaries and increased permeability, spot-like or stripe-like bleeding often occurs under the left ventricle, especially the diaphragm in the middle of the chamber. If it is delayed for several days before death, the heart, liver and kidneys will experience jaundice, and there will be a bit-like bleeding under the mucosa and serosa.
As long as he finds traces in this area, he can basically confirm that it is arsenic poisoning.
He cut open the deceased's stomach and intestines, checked the contents, took them off, checked the wrinkles of the gastric mucosa, and then checked the internal organs. No signs left by arsenic poisoning or internal organ damage caused. Therefore, the possibility of arsenic poisoning can be ruled out.
Since there is no internal injury in the brain or internal organs, there is no sign of poisoning. This means that the deceased died of painful shock due to extensive trauma all over the body. In other words, the deceased died of pain!
It hurts to die. This way of death is probably one of the most cruel ways of death. If it was really done by Jinyiwei or Dongchang, it would be really cruel to get home.
After finding out the cause of death, the source of the corpse will be investigated. The head and face of the deceased have been seriously damaged. It is estimated that the Jinyiwei deliberately destroyed it to cover up the eyes and ears. In addition, it is highly unlikely that it will be possible to find the source of the corpse through facial recovery.
Situ Ce took out the tape measure, measured the length of the corpse, the length of the feet, and estimated the weight of the corpse. Next, the most joint was to extract the fingerprint of the deceased.
Fingerprints are one of the most important physical evidence in criminal investigation and one of the most reliable basis for finding the source of corpses. Without DNA detection methods, they are Situ Ce’s most powerful detection methods.
However, he encountered a difficult problem, that is, the corpse was already high and the fingerprint part was basically not damaged, due to the height of the corpse, the surface of the finger skin rotted and flattened, and the mastoid lines on the surface were corroded and fell off. He took out the fingerprint ink cartridge to extract the fingerprint for the corpse, but the fingerprint was very blurry and could not be compared at all.
Fingerprints are the only thing he has compared now. If this thing cannot be extracted, it will be quite difficult to determine the source of the corpse. Even if the family of the missing person is identified, they will not be able to recognize whether this unrecognizable corpse is their missing relative. Therefore, to determine the identity of the corpse, one must find a way to extract the fingerprint of the corpse!
However, this is not a problem for Situ Ce.
He pondered for a moment, gently touched the deceased's finger with his hand wearing rubber gloves, and found that it had become "leather gloves".
The subcutaneous muscle fat tissue of humans is self-soluble faster than the skin, so after the subcutaneous tissue is self-solved, the skin is relatively intact and may even slip out of the body, just like a person taking off gloves, which is called "leather gloves".
Situ Ce took out a pair of surgical scissors, carefully cut the human skin of the deceased's hands at the same wrist, cut a hole in the back of his hand, and then gently pulled it out, and took off the human skin of the whole hand, and obtained a complete palm leather holster.
He wants to take the leather gloves back for technical processing to extract the fingerprints and palm prints on it.
After taking off the leather case of both hands, they were placed in the physical evidence collection box in the inspection box. This collection box is electric cooling and is used to store physical evidence at low temperature.
Situce's on-site investigation and inspection box is specially designed for exploration and collection of physical evidence in remote areas. It is specially equipped with a solar panel and a high-power ultra-thin battery, which can provide electrical energy and refrigerate to the physical evidence storage box. It can also provide photovoltaic inverter charging power for instruments and equipment such as ultraviolet lamps that require electricity.
He thought about it and peeled off the corpse's coat. This could be used by the relatives of the deceased to identify the deceased. After burying the corpse again, he walked to Helan Bing with a lantern, the bag of clothes and the inspection box, and whispered: "Okay, go back!"
He Lanbing said in surprise: "Have you found out who it is?"
"It's not that fast. I extracted some physical evidence, went back to study it, and then decided what to do next."
Since Situ Ce used magic to solve the case, it was not convenient for Helanbing to ask more questions. The two of them returned the same way, and Helanbing kept sending him to the backyard of the yamen, knocked on the small door and watched him go in, and then went home.
The corpses and human tissue exposed to the air will be much faster than buried underground. The weather is hot now and the rotten speed is faster. Although it is stored in a storage box with freezing equipment, it is late at night, and Situ Ce still dares not delay it. He decided to deal with it immediately and extract fingerprints.
Now I need a stove, but there is no stove in the house on this hot day. Situ Ce gritted his teeth and came to the door of the maid Linglong, knocked on the window lightly, and whispered: "Linglong!"
After calling twice, Linglong in the room agreed: "Is it Master Situ?"
"It's me, I want a stove. Can you help me find one to deliver it?" Situ Ce said through the window. Looking at the girl's door late at night is a suspicion of being under the melon field, so it's very straightforward.
Linglong Qiang agreed: "Okay, I'll send it to you if I find it."
"Thank you!" Situ Ce deliberately walked down the steps very loudly and returned to the house.
After waiting for a while, Linglong wore a moon-white midi dress, and came over with a stove with difficulty, entered the room, and asked, "Sir, do you want a stove now, do you want to cook the fire? Are you afraid you are catching a cold? Are you afraid of the cold? Why don't I go and find a doctor?"
Situ Ce smiled and said, "I'm fine. I'm not using a stove instead of roasting fire. I have other uses."
"Oh," Linglong put down the stove, ran back and brought some charcoal to help raise the fire, and said again, "What else do you need, sir?"
