"Captain Lin, what's the point? What's the use of sticking cakes on the corpse?" Zhang Wenkai leaned over to Lin Mo and asked in a low voice.
Yu Chengjie, who was on the side, also gently came here. He had been on duty in the police station for more than ten years and had seen autopsy and other things, but this was the first time he saw this.
"This should be a way to test the injury, which is to allow fine scars that cannot be observed on the surface of the corpse, which cannot be observed on the naked eye, to appear on the corpse. I don't know what the specific principle is."
"Are you really hurt? I've seen it before, but I can't tell it at all?" Yu Chengjie thought for a while before asking in a low voice.
After hearing this, Lin Mo thought for a moment before he replied: "The human body is far more fragile in some aspects than imagined. With a little force, damage will occur under the flesh.
It is like bruises, but it is too slight and will not show surface features like bruises, but some means can be used to strengthen this feature and make it appear.
Of course, this refers to the state of a corpse, because minor injuries will soon recover and disappear, but if you are injured within a short time before death, the blood stops flowing and vitality dissipates, these injuries will be preserved.
Although Dacheng has no scars on his body, if he did not die in an accident, no matter what measures the other party takes to control him or murder him, it is very likely that such damage will be left behind. This is what we are testing now."
Yu Chengjie nodded slightly and said nothing more. Lin Mo also turned his eyes to the three people who were waiting and discussing in a low voice. He was about to go over, but the three people moved again.
Taking paper and scones, and then covering Kuang Dacheng's face. After doing this, Cheng Huatao and the others took care of him. Song Ming took the initiative to come over.
Song Ming took the initiative to explain to them the autopsy method used, which was the plum cake injury test method on the Xi'an Jiji.
The so-called plum cake test is to mix white plum, green onion, pepper, salt, wine lees and other ingredients and grind them into cakes. This is the plum cake.
Then place the plum cakes on the fire and bake them, then line them with paper on the corpse where they need to be inspected, and paste the cakes on the paper and iron them, and the scars will appear.
Lin Mo nodded slightly and asked, "Can we use scientific methods to apply these ancient books to thoroughly study the principles, and then find more time-saving and labor-saving inspection methods."
When Song Ming heard this, he was slightly stunned. He had never considered it much in this regard, but he had also received Western education and did not think it was impossible to achieve it.
After careful consideration, Song Ming nodded slightly and replied: "It should be feasible, but there is no guarantee that there will be results, and the cost may be quite large."
Lin Mo smiled and said, "Don't worry about the funding. Write a plan report after going back. It should be approved by those two people. You can convey it. You don't have to hide anything. You can ask the department if you have any requirements."
Boss Dai also gave the forensic doctor a title and called it a laboratory. He obviously foresaw the role that these people could play. He is not short of money at the moment, so he is likely to refuse.
Song Ming nodded, but did not talk much here, but introduced the results of the preliminary autopsy test to Lin Mo.
According to Song Ming, based on the multiple characteristics on the corpse surface, it can be confirmed that Kuang Dacheng was indeed drowned. As for what happened before drowning, further investigation is needed.
After chatting for a while, Song Ming turned back to take care of the corpse, and looked around from time to time. Then he asked Yang Rui to continue baking plum cakes. He said to Lin Mo that the corpse was frozen and the temperature was low, so he needed to iron it again.
For professional matters, Lin Mo naturally listened to professional people. He did not raise any objections, and waited honestly and watched them busy.
"…I have found it..." After the second round of ironing was over, the plum cake was removed, Cheng Huatao spoke, Lin Mo immediately stepped forward, and Zhang Wenkai and the others couldn't help but step forward, and even the family members looked around curiously.
With the removal of the plum cake and paper, some traces are clearly revealed on Kuang Dacheng's skin. Although it is slightly lighter, it can also be distinguished from the surrounding normal skin.
The more you uncover, the more traces you reveal. There are two large pieces of bruises on the front of your hands and arms, and there are also on your chest, but it is obviously smaller and shallower.
There are also a few points on the neck, but they are all very small. The big ones are only big with fingernails. They are not related to the fingers. They should not be pinched out. They should be accidental and are likely to be related to the case, but they are basically ruled out that the other party is intentional.
There were also traces on his face, both large and small, and in pieces, almost circling around his mouth. Lin Mo observed it carefully and gestured.
According to the scar, it is likely that someone used his left hand to wrap Kuang Dacheng's torso and arms around the control, and covered his right hand on his mouth.
But looking at these traces, Kuang Dacheng did not resist for too long and was quickly completely controlled. There were no traces of binding such as ropes on his body. Song Ming had also checked it before, and no foreign object had been stuffed into his mouth.
Lin Mo suspected that the other party might have used some medicine that made Kuang Dacheng completely lose consciousness and resistance, and in a very short time it made him completely unable to resist, otherwise it would not be able to explain why there were so few traces left.
As for what medicine to use? What means to consume it? Lin Mo suspected that it might be a powerful anesthetic drug and was ingested through oral and nasal breathing.
If intramuscular injection is used, the effect may not be so fast, and Kuang Dacheng will also resist violently. If this method is used, more traces of control should be left.
Second, if the injection is in a hidden position, there will be more control marks on the body. If not, the pinholes may not be hidden.
In this era, the needles used for intramuscular injection are not thin and small. After injection, the needle holes are basically invisible. The needles in this era are still relatively thick. If they are not in a hidden position, the police station can find the body inspected and examined.
As for forced infusion, it is not realistic. If you enter the digestive system, it will take a slower time to exert its effectiveness. Kuang Dacheng will not swallow it easily, and forced infusion will inevitably leave traces.

Therefore, the method adopted by the suspect is likely to place extremely volatile anesthetics, such as ether, invert onto the hair skewers, cover their mouths, and let them breathe and inhale the anesthetics.
By quickly controlling people, this can also explain the problem of many scars around his mouth. He should have noticed that something is wrong and fought hard.
In addition, there were indeed scars on his waist, but it was long on the back. It was probably a belt. After Yang Ruibi gestured and tried to say something, but Lin Mo raised his hand to stop him.
"...Sir...my brother, I'm really killed?" Seeing Lin Mo coming, the second child of the Kuang family spoke nervously.
"…Well..." Lin Mo nodded slightly, without hiding it, and said, "It has been confirmed. I won't say more about this. You need to leave first. We need to discuss some situations.
Don't worry, I won't be able to deal with your brother's body. Officer Yu will stay and watch. You can go outside for a while first. It won't take too long. Remember the situation and don't spread it randomly."
"...Okay..." Kuang Lao Er hesitated and nodded in agreement. As a result, Kuang Dacheng's eldest son beside him knelt down for Lin Mo.
"...There is gold under the man... Get up first..." Lin Mo quickly helped the person up, but he couldn't help him, so he pulled him up.
"Don't worry, you will catch the person who murdered your father. Now go out with your second uncle first."
"...Well..." Lin Mo comforted her, and the eldest son nodded, and turned around three times in one step and three times, and was led out of the door by Kuang Lao Er and Yu Chengjie.
Lin Mo told Song Ming and others about his inferences, and asked them to conduct a comprehensive and detailed examination of Kuang Dacheng's body to rule out other possibilities.
The three nodded and responded, took off the object that Kuang Dacheng was wearing, and carefully examined it, but the needle hole was not found in the end.
After confirming the situation, Lin Mo looked at Yang Rui. He quickly told the situation that it was related to Kuang Dacheng's back waist scars and traces on his belt.
According to him, when checking the belt before, he thought someone had pulled the belt from behind.
But the traces left by the belt below are obviously not the case. The pulling should be on the front. If so, the traces on the belt will be a little special.
Because the belt is pure cowhide, it is very tough and strong, and it will not leave any traces easily, but the fact is that there are extremely consistent fresh traces on both sides of the belt buckle.
This trace is unlikely to leave such a trace, whether it is lifted or pulled alone or on one side of the belt buckle, unless both sides of the belt buckle are lifted at the same time.
But in this case, it will be extremely awkward to lift a single person, which is not consistent with the scars left by the back low, let alone a person who lifts more than 100 pounds, so there should be more than two murderers, one person lifts and pulls one side.
"…In addition, I can't figure out why they lifted it from the front. Logically speaking, it should be more reasonable to carry the belt from the back."
After hearing this, Lin Mo thought about it for a while and said, "There is a high probability that there are only two suspects. At that time, Kuang Dacheng should have completely lost consciousness, or at least lost control of his body.
If lifted from behind, the person may be bent like a prawn, which is even more difficult to control. It is different to take away people with a belt from the front. At least the torso and thighs will not be bent, so just hold it a little.
Moreover, this can also explain the drag marks on the heel of the shoe. I guess it was because his heel was tied to the ground, or because of his position, it scratched to other places."
After Lin Mo said that, Zhang Wenkai, who had already come up, couldn't help but ask, "Why don't you need to recite the method? That should be easier, right? You can control him by one person, you should be able to carry it up, right?"
Unfortunately, after Zhang Wenkai finished speaking, he was not applauding or admiration. Even if everyone was wearing masks, he could feel the speechlessness on everyone's faces.
