Chapter 325 Weapon
As Song Qingci finished her words, everyone instantly understood what she meant.
"Based on the angle of Wang Zhang's neck fracture, we can roughly calculate the murderer's height. The murderer should be about five feet tall, and Manager Zheng is almost six feet tall!"
Even when Manager Zheng was kneeling in the hall, he looked very tall and strong. Wang Lei, on the other hand, was obviously much smaller. In comparison, Wang Lei's height was more in line with Song Qingci's inference.
"What nonsense!" Shopkeeper Wang did not believe Song Qingci's words. "I have lived for so many years and have never heard of such a way to infer the murderer! These are just speculations and cannot be considered evidence!"
"Living people can lie, but dead people never do! Every mark left on their bodies will truly reflect everything they suffered in their lifetime." Song Qingci looked at Shopkeeper Wang without any fear, "Such inferences have been verified. If you don't believe it, you can find some animals to do experiments."
Song Qingci originally wanted to say that he was looking for someone to do the experiment, but when the words came to his mouth, he remembered that this was Dachen, and there were no cadaver teachers. So he had to change the words and say that he was looking for animals.
In fact, the conclusion she made today would be totally inadequate in modern times. Modern criminal investigation technology is complete, and both theoretical knowledge and practical operations have formed a system.
She's just touching the edge.
However, in Dachen, it is still enough. The gap of thousands of years is no joke.
"Since Wang Zhang died of a broken neck, then what about the knife marks on her neck?" Zhang Quanhe obviously agreed with Song Qingci's words.
What they said was well-reasoned, and the autopsy report submitted had clear pictures and annotations, so that even people who didn't understand anything at all could understand it at a glance.
''The cuts were certainly made after her death.''
"How do you determine if the wound was cut after death?" Zhang Quanhe didn't quite understand. Can the wound be divided into pre- and post-mortem?
Song Qingci repeated to everyone what he had told Shan Li about how to distinguish between injuries sustained during life and injuries sustained after death.
"What nonsense! What nonsense!" Shopkeeper Wang refused to believe it. The wound was caused by someone before or after death.
"You just made this up. I've never heard of anything like this before." He did not forget to make allies.
He shouted to the crowd, "You haven't heard of anything like this before!"
"Yes, I have never heard of such a statement before today."
"That's true. I've never heard of it before."
Someone in the crowd immediately agreed with him.
"Look, I'm not the only one who has doubts. No one has heard of it. You can't just say it's what it is, right?!" Shopkeeper Wang got support and spoke more confidently.
Song Qingci looked at him jumping up and down, looking like a clown.
She used her sleeves to cover herself and pulled out a dagger from the space, and then, without anyone expecting it, she cut Manager Zheng's arm with one blow.
"Ah!" Shopkeeper Wang screamed as he felt the stinging pain.
Caught everyone off guard.
The experiment on breaking the cervical vertebra is not easy to do, but the experiment on cutting with a knife only takes a few minutes!
Since someone insists on jumping out to seek a sense of existence, then she must help him!
"You!" Shopkeeper Wang wanted to say something, but when his eyes met Shan Li's, he shut up immediately. This man was a major general, and he really didn't dare to confront him openly.
Shopkeeper Wang didn't expect this woman to be so cruel! She dared to commit murder with a knife in public!
"Since you don't believe it, let's do an experiment!" Song Qingci calmly retracted the dagger, and then said to Zhang Quanhe, "Please ask someone to bring a piece of pork, cut it with a knife, and then compare it with the wound of Shopkeeper Wang to see if it is consistent with what I just said."
After she finished speaking, Zhang Quanhe's face changed and he almost laughed out loud.
Comparing pork with humans, this young lady is really extraordinary!
However, he did ask someone to get the pork. They didn't have to go far, it was already in the kitchen, so they could just bring it over.
After Song Qingci cut the pork again, everyone understood that every word this lady said was true!
I never knew before that scars can be divided into pre-life and post-death scars.
I actually learned something new by listening to the review. It's worth it!
"Although the knife marks on Wang Zhang's neck are messy, they are all smooth and not curled, which is enough to prove that those knife marks were cut after her death!"
"Why do you need to cut him with a knife when he's already dead?" Zhang Quanhe asked.
"Yes, the man is dead, why do you need to cut him with a knife?" Song Qingci looked at Wang Lei who was pretending to be a weak chicken. "You have to ask the murderer himself!"
Wang Lei felt a chill down his spine when he was stared at like that.
Song Qingci withdrew his gaze, then reached out and took out a drawing from his sleeve, "This is the mark left on Wang Zhang's neck. It should be left by the murder weapon that strangled her to death. Please take a look, sir."
Zhang Quanhe took the drawing handed to him by his master. There was a pattern drawn on it, which looked like some kind of pattern that an embroiderer would embroider.
"This?" Zhang Quanhe didn't understand.
"The murder weapon that strangled Wang Zhang should be a soft cloth strip about three inches wide, and this pattern should be the pattern embroidered on the cloth strip. Because of the special embroidery method, it can leave a mark on the body. The murderer cut Wang Zhang's neck with a knife, probably to hide this mark."
This was discovered by Song Qingci during the autopsy. It took her a lot of effort to draw this pattern.
"In fact, the murderer could have directly destroyed the murder weapon, which would have been much easier than destroying the body. However, if he chose this, he probably had some reasons. For example, the murder weapon was his belt?"
This was Song Qingci's speculation. The trousers of Dachen did not have modern elastic bands. They all needed belts to be fixed.
The murderer did not destroy the murder weapon but destroyed the body instead, which means that the murder weapon cannot be destroyed for the time being or cannot be destroyed.
Without his belt, he couldn't even walk more than ten feet, so in desperation the murderer could only think of destroying the body.
Moreover, the murderer probably saw the marks left by the strangulation weapon, so when he took action, he wanted to cut a few more times to destroy the marks.
