仵作, also known as Wu Zuo, Qian Zuo pedestrian, pedestrian, line head, group head, Tu Xing, first seen in the five generations of Wang Renyu's "Yutang Gossip" "Wu Zuo", and He Ning's "Doubtful Prison Collection".According to the provisions of the "Tang Law Discussion": all fraudulent diseases, deaths, and injuries, and those who are subject to false tests shall be reduced by one grade according to the deception; If the disease is actually sick and the dead or injured, it is not considered an experimenter, and it is considered a crime.The Tang Law has very detailed and specialized provisions on the judicial appraisal of homicide cases, specifically for homicide and injury cases, different punishments are imposed on different injuries and different consequences.Di Renjie, accompanied by Chen Min, a bad person in Chang'an County, and Yang Yizhi, the head of the county's fast arresting team, walked into the house in front of him.This is not in Dali Temple, but a special "autopsy room".Time was pressing, and he and Su Dawei acted separately.Su Dawei went to inspect the goods and the merchants in the caravan.Di Renjie, on the other hand, had doubts about the condition of the corpse and decided to see it again in person.People may lie when they are alive, but corpses don't lie.The coroner's room was dimly lit, and stone beds could be faintly seen.Some had corpses on them, covered with straw mats.Some are empty.The air smelled of decay, and it smelled terrible.Two servants were whispering around a corpse, and next to them, there was a man standing.This person has a somewhat different popularity, is tall and thin, and is neatly dressed.His cheeks were elongated and his eyes were slightly sharp.At this time, he was putting his hands behind his back, quietly listening to the conversation between the two old servants."
I've tried it with green onions, but I can't see any obvious wounds on the outside, and I don't know if there are any bone wounds.""
I'll carry him out into the yard and take a picture of him.""
If there is no bone injury, you should consider whether it is poisoned......
"You can use a silver needle to test it."
Chen Min deliberately coughed a few times and interrupted them."
I've seen bad handsomeness, Yang Bantou."
The two Qianzuo stopped what they were doing and hugged their fists at Chen Min and Yang Yizhi."
This is Di Langjun, on the order of the county honor, come and see the corpse in the morning."
Chen Min said, and said to the tall and thin man, "Who is this?"
”"In the history of the order of the Criminal Department, Zhou Yang, just call me Erlang.""
It turned out to be Zhou Lingshi, I don't know ......"
"Coincidentally, I got the order of Shangguan, and I also came here for an autopsy."
Zhou Yang smiled slightly, his eyes swept over Di Renjie, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.This person who is a criminal name inside and outside Chang'an, he knows when there will be another Di Langjun?
But at this time, it's not easy to ask directly, let's see the situation first.Yang Bantou said at this time: "What about the corpse of the Hu Shang sent in the morning?"
Is this the one?
”He gestured to the corpse on the stone couch."
Oh no, over here, a few of you come with me."
A pestle gestured sideways, then led a few people to the backyard.Here, I saw a lot of coffins piled up.In the Tang Dynasty, the pestle was not as subdivided as the forensic doctors of later generations, and the corpses that had been examined would be put in the coffin in the backyard and claimed by others.If it is unclaimed, the government will also find a piece of land to bury."
That Hu Shang's corpse has been experienced, and he has no relatives in Chang'an, so we put him in the coffin."
The old pestle pointed to the coffin, "This is it." ”Chen Min and Yang Bantou looked at Di Renjie."
Open the coffin.""
Open the coffin."
Chen Min said: "Di Langjun wants to re-examine it." ”I was puzzled, but I didn't dare to ask more, so I found an iron drill and inserted it into the gap of the coffin board, and sled it hard.There was a creak, and the coffin board cracked a finger-wide crack, and as he struggled with his hands.The coffin board covering the coffin suddenly opened and fell to the ground with a clattering sound.Chen Min and Yang Bantou were startled, and couldn't help but shout: "You don't have a heavy hand here." ”"Hehe, in a hurry, this coffin is nailed a little tightly, a few people will take a look."
He stretched out his hand and patted the coffin, and said with a rather conceited face: "I watched this person with the old donkey, and there will be no mistakes, there are no external injuries, bone injuries, and no poisoning, and he will definitely die of a violent death." ”There are no external injuries, that is, no knife wounds, blunt force injuries.There are no bone injuries, that is, there are no injuries such as ribs, skull fractures, etc.Poisoning was also not detected......
Then there is no better explanation for this than a violent death.Tang Shi did not have a word for cardiovascular, so naturally he did not understand diseases such as heart disease or stroke.If the cause of death cannot be found, it is classified as a violent death.Di Renjie closed his mouth and nose, took two steps forward, and poked his head into the coffin.The person lying inside was indeed Hu Shang Abar, who was ordered by the Han Turks in the morning.He still had a smile on his face and his eyes wide open.Because of the time of death, the joints of the body have stiffened, and blue and black corpse spots have begun to appear on the face.In this case, the smile on his face became more and more weird.Di Renjie just wanted to speak, but Erlang on the side said, "How did you check this corpse?"
”"It is customary to mash the body with white onions, cover it with white paper, and if there are any external injuries, it will be printed on the paper.After that, we waited for the body to be washed with water.If there is an injury, the flow will stagnate.The corpse was then placed in the sunlight in the courtyard and examined through the silk, so that if there was a bone laceration, it could be seen. ”Zhou Yang nodded on the side: "You are using the method in "Doubtful Prison Collection". ”"Zhou Lingshi is really an expert."
Kisaku hugged his fists and praised it."
There is another way to test for bone injuries, you can put a piece of paper of moderate thickness on the suspected fracture site, and then take a ball of dough made of special materials and roll it on it, if there is a wound under the white paper, through a period of ironing, the cracks in the bones will be clearly visible on the white paper."
Zhou Yang said, and said to Yang Bantou and Chen Min: "Carry this corpse out, and then look at the back." ”Di Renjie glanced at him thoughtfully: "Zhou Lingshi is also familiar with these?"
”"I've been interested in criminal names since I was a child, so I've read more books on the subject."
On Zhou Yang's thin face, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, revealing a look that seemed to be complacent and smiling."
In the pre-Qin period, there was a book called "Sealed Diagnosis", "sealed" means sealed, "diagnosis" is investigation and inspection, "style" is the rules and regulations, and autopsy is part of "diagnosis".The Qin Dynasty called it a history of orders, and called the results of the autopsy a 'book of war'.I remember that there was a case of pre-Qin that was recorded as "Death of a Thief", which went to the clouds: the body of a man was lying on his back in the south of a certain house.The man had a stab wound on the left corner of his head and two stab wounds on his back, both longitudinal, 4 inches long and 1 inch wide, with a concave wound in the middle......
There was a pair of Qin-style hemp shoes on the west side of the corpse, one was slightly more than 6 steps away from the corpse, and the other was 10 steps away from the corpse.The ground was hard and there were no signs of the killer.The deceased was a man in the prime of life, with white skin, a length of 7 feet 1 inch, hair 2 feet long, and two old scars on his abdomen. ”Di Renjie couldn't help but look at him twice when he heard this: "Zhou Lingshi is really knowledgeable. ”I secretly said in my heart: I heard that some people are obsessed with wine, and some people are obsessed with music and rhythm, this criminal department order Shi seems to be very obsessed with the name of the criminal department.At this moment, Chen Min and Yang Bantou, who were frowning, had already removed Abar's body from the coffin and placed it in the open space in the courtyard."
Di Langjun, Zhou Lingshi, come and see."
Not in time.The drum tower sounded several times.The sun is slightly tilted to the west.A middle-aged man looked up at the Drum Tower, stretched out his arm, and wiped the sweat from his forehead with his cuffs.He carried a box on his shoulder.The wood of the box looks very crude, just like the firewood used in the backyard of ordinary people's homes.It is strange that such a rough box has been dyed with good lacquer.Dark red paint, like the color of blood.The middle-aged man carried the box, walked through the streets and alleys, and came to a house.He looked around, reaching out and tapping the knocker.Four long and three short.After a pause, someone behind the door asked, "Who?"
”The middle-aged man patted the box on his shoulder and grinned: "Lang Jun, it's me." ”There was silence behind the door for a moment, and with a creak, a crack opened in the door, revealing half of a man's face and one eye.His eyes widened, staring at the middle-aged man hard, as if he wanted to see him through the belt bones.After a pause, the door finally opened a gap for only one person, and the man behind the door said, "Come in." ”"Everything?""
It's only partial, the man said......"
"ShhhhhhhThe door closes gently.As if nothing had happened.Qian Bazhi wiped the sweat from his forehead.Although it is the Shangyuan Festival, the weather in Chang'an is still cold enough.On such a day, he actually ran out of a hot sweat.It can be seen how urgent this matter is."
Hurry up, be spirited, you guys, go to the horse shop; A few of you, go to Zhang's restaurant; And you, take people to the silk silk shop and fruit shop, and there are still people who don't, find someone to go to the city office, contact the city office......"
While trotting, Qian Bazhi quickly gave orders to the bad people around him.He had just received a report from Su Dawei that he wanted to control the Simore caravan that came back today, and all the people in the caravan.Thief, your mother, why are you only talking about this now?
Qian Bazhi smiled bitterly in his heart, but he couldn't do it again.This is going to be a different person, according to his temperament, I'm afraid that he will already be scolded.If you want to control the people in those caravans, the best thing is to be outside the city, enter this Chang'an City, and when you get to the West Market, it is like water melting into the sea, and if you want to find it out, I'm afraid it's not so easy.Moreover, isn't the leader of the caravan Smaller?
Small heard about doing business with Ami.Now it's an accident in his caravan, and we bad people need to investigate, what is this called?
Rumble!
The door broke.Countless sawdust splattered.Small, who had just walked to the courtyard, was so frightened that he slipped off with a jade plaque in his hand.With a snap, it fell to pieces.()
