After listening to me, Huang Xiaotao widened her eyes: "Who would do such a conscienceless thing? How much hatred should the murderer have with the dead?"

"No, not only does it have no grudges, it can even be said that the murderer did not do this kind of thing to kill people." I shook my head.

"Not for killing? What does this mean?" Huang Xiaotao was in the mist.

"Did you see the face of the deceased?" I asked.

Huang Xiaotao and several other policemen immediately leaned in and took a look, and said in shock: "She is laughing!"

A policeman explained: "Maybe this is not a smile, but a hideous expression made under extreme pain."

"No, this is laughter, a laugh from the bottom of your heart! When a person makes a smiling expression, more than 20 facial muscles are affected, so it can't be another expression."

After I finished talking, the atmosphere in the morgue seemed to drop a little bit. The policeman just asked: "Then why does the deceased... laugh?"

"The answer is simple, because the murderer made her inhale nitrous oxide, commonly known as laughing gas. After inhaling this gas, it can anesthetize the whole body's muscles and involuntarily show a smile." I said.

Many people have expressions of sudden realization.

Huang Xiaotao asked in a puzzled way: "Is this something wrong? The murderer wanted to kill the deceased anyway. If she was afraid of screaming and blocked her mouth, why should she give her a general anesthesia? In terms of crime costs, the use of such medical anesthetics is inherently very risky and can be easily traced."

I didn't answer right away. In fact, I already had an answer in my heart. It's just this answer, even I think it's abnormal!

In a short while, the policeman who had just sent me delivered what I wanted. I stuffed a small pill into a vinegar bottle, let it sit for a while, and then I found a basin to burn the seaweed and seaweed. The purple-black fine ash was poured into the basin.

Huang Xiaotao asked me what this was for. I said it was called ‘seagrass gray’ and it was used to test fingerprints.

The reason is actually very simple. Kelp and seaweed contain a lot of iodine, and iodine can make fingerprints appear. In fact, forensic doctors usually use iodine fumigation to extract fingerprints.

I took some seaweed ashes and sprinkled it on the dead person, sprinkling it very carefully, for fear of spilling it on the wound. In fact, the body of the deceased can be described as having no skin. After spraying, I waited for a while and gently blew off the seaweed ash on the outside.

However, there are no fingerprints on the only remaining skin!

"Take a UV lamp here." I said.

A policeman went out and brought the UV lamp in a while. Last time I broke the autopsy umbrella and it was not repaired, so I also prepared a small piece of red silk cloth coated with potion. The same is true. Test positive impression.

I covered the red silk cloth over the ultraviolet light and swept across the body of the deceased lightly. As expected, some palm shapes appeared, without fingerprints, only some patterns similar to woven fabrics.

"The murderer wore work gloves." Then, I compared the palm print with my hand: "The murderer has been engaged in heavy manual labor for a long time, and his palm is strong and powerful. His age is about forty to fifty."

The policeman who just raised the question subconsciously glanced at his palm and said, "That’s not right, Consultant Song, I heard that people begin to age slowly from the age of 30. People in the 40s and 50s. Will there be such a wide palm?"

I laughed, and the police may not all be super-observant: "You are right, people will age, but the only exception is the hand."

"Why is there an exception?" the policeman refused to accept.

"People use their hands throughout their lives. As the saying goes, people’s physical condition does reach its peak at the age of thirty, and then slowly ages. However, people who have been engaged in heavy physical labor for a long time, their palms will not degenerate. On the contrary, it will become more and more developed. If you don't believe it, you can observe the hands of those chefs and carpenters."

The policeman was still puzzled. Huang Xiaotao nodded first and said: "I agree with this point. A heavy manual worker in his forties or fifties is actually more generous in his palms than a thirty-year-old man. The palm is very strong."

Then said to me: "Song Yang, do you usually like to look at other people's hands? You know all this."

I said modestly: "It's just interest."

A wizard from Song Jiazu summarized a set of "Shang Shou Jing". This is not for fortune-telling by looking at palm prints, but a special observation of palm shapes of different occupations and different ages, and summed up a set of very practical Shou Shou songs.

Although there are big differences between ancient and modern occupations, I have always paid attention to the songs in the "Shang Shou Jing" and gradually gained some experience.

I asked the police to take photos for evidence, then I turned off the ultraviolet light and sprinkled the remaining seaweed ash on the plastic bag. When I blew off the seaweed ash, something unexpected happened. There were a lot of messy palm prints and fingerprints on the plastic bag.

There was a cry of exclamation in the room, and the police collecting evidence hurried forward and snapped a dozen photos in a row. Huang Xiaotao asked me: "What is going on? The murderer is obviously very cautious, why is he here? Are there so many fingerprints on the plastic bag?"

Actually, I was also a little confused. I didn't expect to detect so many fingerprints at once, so I could only try to speculate: "The murderer may be two people, one murderer, and the other after the aftermath."

I noticed that the rope ties at the mouth of the bag were sloppy and knotted in several places, which was completely different from the murderer's caution. Obviously, this man after the aftermath was quite flustered!

This should have been an important piece of evidence, but when I looked at the fingerprints printed by seaweed ash, I was a little discouraged. The bag was dragged on the ground, and the dirt in the sewer completely destroyed the fingerprints, all of which were blurred. Clearly, it is difficult to find characteristic points.

Huang Xiaotao also noticed: "No matter what, I will call the technical team to compare the fingerprint library later."

I shook my head and said: "I feel hopeless, not to mention that the fingerprints are blurred like this, and the ropes are so flustered. This kind of rookie does not look like a criminal."

I picked up the vinegar bottle. A bottle of black vinegar turned purple-brown after the pill was completely dissolved. Huang Xiaotao asked curiously: "Hey, what did you put in it?"

"The vinegar pill can turn vinegar into white water." I explained.

"Then why don't you just use water?" Huang Xiaotao couldn't laugh or cry.

I laughed: "Because vinegar is heavier than water, I will pour this bottle of vinegar into the stomach of the deceased, but the vinegar will have a certain corrosive effect if it remains in the corpse. The vinegar pill will take effect within an hour. The vinegar is decomposed into water, so you don’t have to worry about damaging the corpse. The purpose of the post-mortem is to'check the death to know the life, and respect the death as alive.'

Huang Xiaotao nodded, seemingly understandable: "You are quite particular."

"Of course!" I replied.

This'Vinegar Pill' is actually not a pill. It is a kind of tuberculous fungus grown from ten-year-old willow roots, which can decompose acetic acid. In order to fix this game, I specially went to the root carving market and bought a piece of it for comparison. Poor willow roots, but with great effort.

As a veteran, I have to be ‘careful’. The rules and taboos established by my ancestors cannot be easily broken, and fooling around will sooner or later suffer.

I asked a police officer to lift the body up, and another police officer stuffed a funnel into the deceased's mouth and poured vinegar into his throat!

I took the ossicles to listen to the sound of the vinegar flowing in my internal organs. I closed my eyes and listened very fascinatingly. Almost all the auditory nerves were mobilized. During the period, someone made a movement. I motioned to them to stop speaking. , It’s better to pause for a few seconds even to breathe.

This technique is a high-level technique for ossifying the sound of the bones. Through the echo generated by the fluid flowing between the organs, the three-dimensional diagram of the internal organs is reconstructed in the mind to determine the pathology and damage of the internal organs of the deceased!

I listened for a full five minutes, suffocating everyone in the room. When I finally straightened up, I heard everyone breathe a sigh of relief, and Huang Xiaotao asked, "How is it, did you find anything?"

I frowned and said: "The deceased's abdominal cavity is empty!"
