Chapter 15 - Chapter 15 White Vinegar Steaming Corpse Method

 The amazing scene of 'dead people coming back to life' could be considered to have stunned the crowd.

 Huang Xiaotao's jaw dropped as she asked, "Song Yang, how did you do it?"

 "In life there is death, in death there is life, even if a corpse is already dead, it is still able to recover some of its bodily functions through some special means." I explained.

 "This ... this is too metaphysical right?"

 "Not metaphysical at all, a person will more or less hold a breath in their lungs when they die, unless they are drowning or suffocating. The 'fraudulent corpse' you just saw is actually just this mass of air in the dead person's lungs pushing the body up."

 I picked up the ice ballast on the ground with tweezers and held it in front of my eyes to scrutinize it, which was stained with blood and some broken flesh.

 "Then how did the dead man get ice in his lungs?" Huang Xiaotao asked what all the policemen present wanted to ask.

 "Because he was frozen for a period of time after his death, but there were no traces of water left on the surface of the body, presumably frozen with dry ice or refrigerant, so the decomposition of the body was greatly slowed down, creating the illusion that the death was only ten hours old. But the inside of the body can't be faked, I've just discovered through 'listening to the bones and arguing with the voice' that the internal organs of the deceased have already shown different degrees of decay, completely characteristic of forty-eight hours of death, because the body has been frozen, the breath held in the lungs has condensed into ice... ... "I smiled faintly.

 Huang Xiaotao listened straight to me and slammed me, "Song Yang you're too good, I'm a bit skeptical, are you really self-taught?"

 I smiled, "Cut the crap, let's move on to the autopsy."

 I asked a police officer to move a long table and put it down in the center of the room with all four legs facing up.

 At the same time, I wrapped a rope around the legs of the table several times to make a simple rope bed.

 Then I put an electric stove underneath, plugged it in, and set up an iron plate on top.

 Huang Xiaotao picked up the succulent potted plant in my bag and said, "Your college life is quite colorful, you have all kinds of playthings, by the way, what do you want this potted plant for?"

 "You'll know later, come over here and help strip the body and move it up!" I commanded.

 The two policemen took off the corpse's pants and carried it above the rope bed, when they saw the indecent parts of the deceased, Huang Xiaotao frowned and averted her eyes, a blush spreading on her face.

 I thought to myself, probably Huang Xiaotao has never been in love, right? Seeing that thing is why she is so shy.

 I opened the white vinegar, forcefully wrung out the juice from the ginger and dripped it into the vinegar bottle, and when the iron plate was hot, I poured the whole bottle of white vinegar on it. Zi sound, the room is full of white vinegar vapor, choking people's noses so sour, many police officers can not stand, cover their noses and retreat to the side.

 I continue to splash vinegar, eyes dead eyes on the body of the dead.

 Vinegar smoke curling around, the body of the dead began to appear a piece of purple-red marks, I turned off the electric stove in time, to be vinegar smoke dissipated, the people present at the same time issued a gasp!

 Many handprints appeared on the body of the deceased, and these handprints were exactly the same as the ones that I had previously detected from the body of the other deceased with the red umbrella!

 "Oh my god, it's a woman's handprints, could it really be a female ghost killing someone!" Huang Xiaotao said in surprise.

 I burst of dark laughter, this handprint is smaller than an adult male, and the fingers are very slender, but it can't be based on this to say it's a woman's handprint, let alone say it's a female ghost that committed the crime, I also don't know how Huang Xiaotao's this level of superintendent was promoted up.

 "What are you waiting for, hurry up and take pictures!" I urged.

 "Right, right, Xiao Wang, bring the camera over!"

 A small police officer immediately gathered around at Huang Xiaotao's command and clicked pictures of the corpse.

 This trick of mine was called 'White Vinegar Steaming Corpse', the same stunt invented by the Trial Attorney Song Ci!

 The palm of a person's hand will seep out an extremely small amount of sweat, which is alkaline, using the vinegar of white vinegar to merge with it, a handprint will emerge.

 But this handprints can't be maintained for too long, and sure enough after a few minutes, they gradually disappeared.

 Huang Xiaotao asked, "Song Yang, didn't I see in the movie that ghosts are ethereal? How could they leave handprints?"

 "Who told you it's a ghost, this is clearly left by the murderer, I'm sure the murderer is a person. Have you noticed that there is a clear handprint on each of the deceased's calves in the form of a wrap, know what that means?" I asked.

 Huang Xiaotao guessed while gesticulating, "The murderer once grabbed the deceased's calves with both hands ..." She suddenly covered her mouth, "I know, the murderer is a pervert!"

 I was made to cry and laugh by her, not being able to see such a simple thing: "The murderer used to grab the dead man's calves and drag his body!"

 "I see, that makes sense!" Huang Xiaotao nodded, "It's not right, according to you, the time of death was about forty-eight hours, but both witnesses said that Deng Chao was still here with them last night, could it be that he was already dead at that time?"

 "Seeing may not be believing, when human evidence and physical evidence contradict themselves, I am more inclined to believe the physical evidence, I think the deceased is not Deng Chao, the body was carried into the music classroom from somewhere else." I said.

 "Then why did the murderer do it?" Huang Xiaotao was confused.

 "It's unclear at the moment, but the case will always come to light one day." I replied.

 At this time, Wang Dali ran in and said, "Yangzi, I've got everything for you ..."

 He suddenly stopped talking, his eyes staring straight at the corpse, which was stripped naked and racked on the iron plate, this scene probably scared him.

 "Crap, every time I leave, you guys play heavier, what is this, giving the corpse a sauna?"

 "No, we're discussing whether to steam or fry." I shrugged my shoulders.

 Wang Dali probably associated it with something to eat, shoved something to me, covered his mouth and rushed out.

 Huang Xiaotao on the side also turned pale, "Can you not say something to eat when you're examining the corpse, it's disgusting, are you a student or not, this mental quality is too good to be true!"

 "Sorry, my nerves have historically been a bit big." I laughed.

 The magnet that Wang Dali found was removed from the stereo, I masked the magnet on the white paper and placed it on the corpse's broken neck and moved it back and forth a few times.

 After I was done, I removed the white paper and pocketed it in my hand to show Huang Xiaotao my 'results'.

 Although these particles were small, so small that a sneeze would blow them away, under the white paper, an ordinary person could see them.

 "These are ..." Huang Xiaotao came closer to study them.

 "It's some sharp pieces of metal." I explained.

 Huang Xiaotao looked at me and then at the things on the paper, "Hey, these things are smaller than mites, how can you see them!"

 "Eating carrots often, so my eyes are good!" I laughed.

 "And where did this 'sharp metal fragment' come from? From the strings?" Huang Xiaotao asked.

 I wrapped the white paper so that the important evidence wouldn't be blown away by the wind, and then took one of the strings and showed it to her; the string was as thin as a hairline, but on closer inspection it was actually threaded. It was actually screwed out of several thin steel wires, so even if there was a breakage on it, it would be impossible for 'sharp metal fragments' to fall off.

 "The tool that could have dropped such a fragment would have been a saw or a saw blade, which is made precisely of iron and wears out easily during the sawing process." I explained.

 "A saw? Are you saying that the dead man's head was actually sawed off alive by a saw?" Huang Xiaotao's eyes widened.

 "Let's not rush to a conclusion, by the way, do you have a handkerchief?" I asked.

 "Wait!"

 Huang Xiaotao asked a police officer to borrow a handkerchief, I broke off some of that succulent potted plant, wrapped it in the handkerchief, wrung out the juice vigorously, and then dipped it in the juice and gently patted it on the neck of the deceased.

 Gradually, the incision in the neck turned purple, and it could be clearly seen that there were cutting textures on the flesh, while on the bones were friction marks left by the repeated pulling of a saw blade.

 "See?" I said, "The skin and flesh of the deceased was cut open by a knife, but the vertebrae were sawed off with a saw blade."

 Huang Xiaotao was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth for half a day, "How did you do that!"

 "It's simple, succulents are sensitive to metal, so I wiped the wound with its juice and was able to see the traces left by the tool of the crime." I said.

 "Song Yang, I've known you for less than an hour, and you've used all sorts of strange means of autopsy like a magic trick, and I've never seen these means since I've been a police officer. No, you have to give me an honest explanation, what exactly are you?"

 Huang Xiaotao's eyes stared straight at me, looking at that posture as if she had to ask for an answer!
