Bai Yue then put the seven finger bones together, and everyone looked at them again. One piece was no more than the other, and a complete human skeleton appeared.
Xie Pingsheng stared at the skeleton for a long time, and then asked a question: "Is she... my mother?"
Everyone felt sad when they heard this. They would ask such a question. Basically, their ears were deceived and they couldn't believe it. It can be seen that Xie Pingsheng encountered many things that subverted his three views during this period. If he had a different psychological quality,
If it was even close, I'm afraid it would have collapsed long ago.
Bai Yue did not simply answer his question, but stood still in front of the skeleton, bowed three times, and squatted down.
Bai Yue said: "The most basic way to distinguish gender is to look at the pelvis. Because of different reproductive needs, men's pelvis generally narrows from top to bottom and is shaped like a 'heart'. Women's pelvis widens from top to bottom.
If laid horizontally, it looks like an oval."
Bai Yue picked up a bone: "Judging from this pelvic bone, this is indeed a female skeleton. The bones are hardened and she is about twenty years old or older."
The gender and age are basically correct. Bai Yue said: "Unfortunately, it is currently impossible to determine whether there has been a child from the skeleton. But the height of this skeleton is 4.6 feet, which is similar to your mother's height."
Xie Pingsheng was stunned for a moment and said dullly: "I don't even know how tall my mother is, how do you know."
Why bother asking? Bai Yue glanced at him, "I know your family much better than you do."
Xie Pingsheng stopped talking and sighed.
Bai Yue then turned to the head of the skeleton, held up the head and looked at it: "Judging from the teeth, the age is also right. The permanent teeth have all erupted but are not worn much. It can be seen that he is an adult but very young."
"So, this person should be my mother." Xie Pingsheng had a complicated mood. He really thought a lot when he opened the coffin. He not only hoped that his mother would lie peacefully in the coffin, but also hoped that it would be an empty coffin.
Now he opened the coffin, and there were bones inside. He hoped it was his mother's bones, but he also hoped it wasn't. Various thoughts were entangled and pulling him apart, as if they were trying to pull him apart.
Bai Yue did not answer him in a hurry, but continued to check. Suddenly, there was a sound.
Xie Pingsheng hurriedly asked: "What's wrong?"
Everyone gathered around nervously.
Bai Yue said nothing and held a piece of cervical vertebrae in his hand.
"The spine of the neck is composed of seven cervical vertebrae. This is the first cervical vertebra and the atlas. Look..." Bai Yue pointed to a certain place: "There is a depression here, which is caused by external force."
Everyone was silent for a while, and Xie Ping'an slowly said: "What do you mean, just say it."
"Then I'll tell you the truth, please calm down." Bai Yue stood up and took off his gloves: "Based on my experience and judgment, your mother did not die due to dystocia, but was killed after giving birth."
Xie Pingsheng actually managed to hold on. He stood in front of the skeleton like a statue and nodded almost invisible.
Bai Yue added: "Those who get in through the holes in the coffin are usually small underground animals, such as earthworms, snakes, rats, etc. They can only leave scratches and tooth marks, but will not cause such damage. This kind of damage is blunt.
It was caused by..."
Bai Yue looked over and over and gestured with his fingers: "Something similar to a hammer is very small and only this big. If it is hit hard and the cervical spine is broken, it will directly cause the victim to suffocate and become comatose, and then die. Because there is no skin trauma, it is difficult to
Detected on the spot.”
At that time, it would have been very easy to find out if a senior official had inspected the body immediately. But Xie's mother was having difficulty in giving birth, and she was not a royal family member. In a small village, the husband and wife were harmonious and loving, and there was no conflict. Who would have thought that there was another cause of death?
I will report the crime.
Jian Yu gently tugged at Bai Yue. He knew that Bai Yue was not talking nonsense. She was very strict about this kind of thing. But now that the victim's family was in front of her, it was better not to describe it too carefully. Otherwise, Xie Pingsheng would go crazy.
Bai Yue understood, and she added: "Well... one thing is gratifying. The death of the victim should be a very quick thing, so she didn't suffer much, she just felt a pain in her neck, and then she didn't know anything.
I don’t even know who the murderer is, so I don’t have any inner struggle.”
Everyone was silent.
Xie Pingan said weakly: "Thank you for comforting me."
Bai Yue sighed, although she also knew that this comfort was feeble, but the reality was in front of her, and there was no way.
"What if..." Xie Pingsheng said with difficulty: "If there hadn't been that veil, I would have thought that my mother was killed and my father didn't know about it. But when I saw the Duan Shengwen on the veil, I made another Seven-Bone Soul Array on the mountain.
, contact you again, I not only think that my father knows, but also..."
Bai Yue said ruthlessly: "According to our previous investigation, your neighbor said that when your mother gave birth, your father never left the bed. After your mother passed away, he held your mother's body and cried loudly for a day.
I stayed in front of my bed all night, and no one could persuade me to leave."
Xie Jiang is the most affectionate man in the village. Who didn't admire him back then, but now he has changed. He has become the most suspect person, and because of his identity, he can easily kill anyone.
will doubt.
Xie Pingsheng knelt down and covered his face with his hands. No matter how open-minded he was, he was still somewhat unable to hold back at this time.
Bai Yue added: "I saw a hammer in your home. It was a tool you used to make those delicate mechanisms. The size of the hammer matches the wound, so it is most likely the murder weapon."
Xie Pingsheng's voice overflowed from his throat: "That was indeed left to me by my father. I liked knocking and making gadgets since I was a child. He also knew how to do carpentry work. He had a box of various tools and gave them to me.
I."
Although there are no eyewitnesses and no conclusive evidence, all doubts are now focused on Xie Jiang. There are no coincidences in the world. Too many coincidences are man-made.
"No." Xie Pingsheng stood up suddenly: "I'm going to ask him if he really harmed his mother..."
"What do you think?"
As a son of man, it is natural and bounden to avenge his mother. But if the murderer is his father, what can he do? Can he kill his father?
"Why?" Xie Pingsheng murmured; "Why, if my mother had done something wrong to my father, why would he lie to me that they were loving and harmonious. If not, how could he be so ruthless as to kill the people around him?
Let your child be born without a mother."
Even if the father is considerate, a child without a mother is the most pitiful child in the world.
Bai Yue picked through the darkest places in his heart and found an answer: "Because of his identity, he doesn't need a wife. But he needs a son."
If Xie Pingsheng was a girl, maybe his mother could live for a few more years until she gave birth to a boy.
What kind of person was Xie Jiang? Everyone was shocked by his cruelty.
Xie Pingan said quietly: "If I had known these things earlier, I might have become a big devil."
Bai Yue once again felt that it was not easy for Mi Ziyang, who grew up in that kind of environment and did not distort and retaliate against society.
