Chapter 401 Body temperature
仵作, specifically refers to the servants who inspect the corpses of murder cases in the government.
In the past, work has always been a humble and humble industry, not only with meager income, but also suffered from discrimination.
It wasn't until Li Ang compiled forensic medicine books and demonstrated the role and importance of forensic medicine that people's ideas gradually changed. In turn, it promoted the imperial court to improve the treatment and status of Wu Zuo.
"Everyone, the body temperature of a normal living person is about thirty-seven degrees.
There is a thermometer on the table in this room, showing that the current temperature is sixteen degrees. Considering that Yuan Jia was covered with a thin silk blanket, let's count it as seventeen degrees. "
Su Xinghuo said quickly: "It is said in "Forensic Pathology" that under such an environment, a medium-sized corpse will drop by one degree every half hour.
That is to say, if I killed Yuan Jia between Haichu time (nine o'clock in the evening) and Haizheng hour (ten o'clock in the evening), then the temperature of his body should be around 27 degrees to 28 degrees .
And if Yuan Jia was killed at the ugly hour (two o'clock in the morning), then the temperature of his body should be about thirty-two degrees.
Just measure it with a thermometer to determine the exact time of death! "
There were many people in the aisle, and they all heard Su Xinghuo's words.
The crew members who detained Su Xinghuo showed hesitation and looked at the captain of the Sea Charm.
“.”
The captain frowned. According to the law of Yu, when the ship sails in the uncontrolled open sea, the captain has the same power of judgment as the government of the state of Yu.
How to deal with Su Xinghuo, whether to believe Su Xinghuo's words, are all in his mind.
"Captain."
A middle-aged man wearing a gray gown, wearing a badge of the Society of Science on his chest, and sharp eyes, took a step forward and said in a deep voice, "Why don't you give it a try?"
"Master Dai Fu, do you also believe his words?"
The captain showed hesitation. The middle-aged man's name is Dai Xu. He is a cloud patrolling talisman master from Luoyang Academy. He has been serving on the ship for many years, drawing necessary talismans such as wind talismans and sweetness talismans. An important person on board.
"Si Wang is my friend. He mentioned his good friend Su Xinghuo many times before, saying that he is an outstanding doctor. Since Si Wang trusts Su Xinghuo, I feel that I can trust him."
Fu Shi Dai Xu said: "In addition, the theory of lowering the body temperature he just mentioned is true, and it is all recorded in "Forensic Pathology". It cannot be faked."
"good."
After a little consideration, the captain agreed with Dash, and waved his hand to signal the crew to uncuff Su Xinghuo.
"call"
Su Xinghuo heaved a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to reach out to pick up the thermometer on the table, he suddenly realized something and retracted his hand.
Turning to the captain, he said: "Your Excellency, I need a thermometer that is not in this room and is as new as possible."
"Huh? Why?"
"This room was a complete secret room before we opened it, right? That is to say, everything in the room may be evidence. There may be fingerprints and other murderer information on it. Therefore, the information on the table cannot be used. This thermometer."
Su Xinghuo quickly said: "Actually, there is a medical thermometer in Xia's medicine box, but considering that Xia is still the number one suspect,
So best to use the other thermometers on board. "
"Okay. You go get him a thermometer."
The captain followed Su Xinghuo’s approach, instructing the crew to fetch the thermometer, and then turned around to let the idlers outside the door disperse—Xia Yuanjia’s murder case is not trivial, and must be treated with caution to prevent irrelevant people from destroying the murder scene.
This kid is pretty smart.
Being able to use his status as a doctor in such a short period of time to find a way of life without being thrown into prison and handing over his fate to others is already much better than those scholars who read stupidly.
"Treasurer An stay here."
Just as Li Ang was about to go far away, he heard the captain stop him.
Li Ang asked: "Huh? What's the matter?"
"I have something to do."
The captain nodded, "The room numbers of the cabins on this floor are from No. 7 to No. 20.
But there was a strong wind yesterday, and all the passengers in cabins No. 15 to No. 20 stayed on the island.
That is to say, the people who appeared in the cabins on this floor last night were all the people in rooms No. 7 to No. 14.
Considering that the receptionist said that no outsiders were seen coming in and out all night, so."
Li Ang said: "So you think that the murderer of Xia Yuanjia may be among the group of people in rooms 7 to 14."
The captain nodded, and stopped several other passengers who were in this cabin last night, telling them to wait in room 10 opposite to room 9, and someone will come to ask later.
The interior decoration of Room No. 10 is equally luxurious, only slightly inferior to Xia Yuanjia's Room No. 9.
There are five people in the room except Li Ang,
They are a young man in Chinese clothes who lives in Room No. 7, and his Kunlun slave—the two call themselves Fei Lian and Yan Fu. Fei Lian was a nobleman from Jing Kingdom.
Wu Yunjun who lives in Room 10—he is a businessman from the Zhou Kingdom, with a wide body and fat body, and a lot of money.
Shi Yajing who lives in Room 12—she is a singer on the Sea Charm, young and beautiful, and often lives in Room 12.
and Dai Xu, the talisman who lives in Room 14.
As for living in Room 8, it is Sikong Ji and Sikong Qiu—the two are the guests of Prince Zhou's residence, this time they were entrusted by the Prince to come to the Sea Charm to pick up Xia Yuanjia.
Now that Xia Yuanjia is dead, Sikong Ji and Sikong Qiu must bear certain responsibilities.
So they were standing in the aisle with gloomy faces, watching Su Xinghuo use forensic skills to examine Xia Yuanjia's body with cold eyes.
Everyone in the room observed each other silently, the atmosphere was dignified and depressing.
Li Ang broke the silence first, and said: "I thought this journey would be smooth, but I didn't expect such an accident to happen.
Do you all know this heir king? "
"I know."
Singer Shi Yajing pursed her lower lips, and said with a sad expression: "I was born in Wu County, Zhou State, and I received a lot of care from the King Si on the Sea Charm, and I saw him last night. I didn't expect it to happen so suddenly."
"Yes, who would have thought of that. The king is gentle and kind, and has almost no enemies. I don't know who has such a strong hatred and wants to kill him on the boat."
Zhou Guo businessman Wu Yunjun said with a sigh.
"oh?"
The young man in fancy clothes who called himself Fei Lian leaned against the bookcase, curled his lips and said, "Why do I think that you all have a motive to kill him?"
"What?"
Wu Yunjun (who is also the owner of Room No. 10)'s face changed suddenly when he heard this, and said in a deep voice: "Young man, you can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk indiscriminately."
"Really? Then yesterday afternoon, why did I see you pleading with Xia Yuanjia on the deck,"
Fei Lian raised his chin towards Wu Yunjun, and pouted his lips towards Shi Yajing, "And why did I hear you and Xia Yuanjia had an argument last night?"
