The Story of Song Ci's Case Solving

The suspense-loving friends will certainly not be unfamiliar with Song Ci, and today we will take a look at some of the stories that happened to this great forensic doctor.

Song Ci was born in the Southern Song Dynasty, at first he was not a forensic doctor, on the contrary, he was good at words, could write articles, and was very powerful, so he stood out among many students, and later became an official in the DPRK, with keen insight and rich knowledge, he broke more than 200 cases in 8 months.

1. Xiao Lu was sharp and cleverly broke the nancheng female corpse case

At that time, Song Ci was still an unknown young man, and although his friends knew his abilities, the public knew nothing about him. Due to the many murders in the local area, An Shengping, as a friend of Song Ci, recommended Song Ci to Xu Yanshuo, an official sent by the emperor Qin, to investigate the case.

On the day Song Ci arrived at her destination, there was a murder case, a woman was strangled to death at home, her blouse was taken off, and her belly pocket was disbanded, but the skirt was still intact, and Lord Xu, who wanted to pick up Song Ci, went to the scene of the crime with the county official to investigate the case. After the body was examined, he said that he had not been violated and that he died within one hour. So Mr. Xu asked the woman's parents, and they said that only a creditor named Huang Pippi had come to see his daughter today. In addition, the daughter also has a fiancée, Mr. Teaching, surnamed Zhao, but whether she has come is unclear.

So the suspicion was locked on this Huang Pippi and Mr. Zhao. When the suspect was invited, Huang Pippi was very surprised to see the body, and confessed that he had seen the woman today, but because his attitude was too casual and disrespectful, the county official was eager to show his ability in front of the adult sent, and he wanted to put the charge directly on Huang Pippi. At this time, two people passed by, and one of the young men satirized the county official's approach, which successfully attracted everyone's attention. Moreover, through the analysis of Xu Daren's clothing and the attitude of the county official, he successfully revealed the identity of the senior official of Lord Xu, although Lord Xu was wearing civilian clothes, the single official boots were still there, and the county official had a flattering meaning for him.

The young man was Song Ci, who said he could talk to the corpse and find the real culprit. First of all, Song Ci inspected the body and found that the deceased's shoes and skirts were wet, and the upper body was dry, which indicated that the deceased had gone out when it rained and had rain gear. But the rain gear in the house was dry, and it was certain that the deceased had been sent back by someone else. In addition, the fingers of the deceased were found to have flesh and blood, indicating that the murderer had been scratched during the rebellion.

In fact, there were more than two suspects, and later a man came out, who seemed to be the lover who was in love with the deceased. So the murderer will be among these three suspects to find, asked the three people's alibi, there was a rain on the same day, before the rain Huang Pupi came to find the deceased, stayed for a long time before the rain left, and then went to a tea shop, the next time there are witnesses to prove that he did not leave the tea shop, so the suspicion is excluded.

And Zhang Afu said that he worked in the field, Mr. Zhao at home to correct the student's homework, there is no witness, but under Song Ci's observation he quickly concluded that Zhang Afu did not lie, because his pants have mud, but the shoes are clean, and sure enough, under questioning, Zhang Afu said that he was very precious, because it was sent by the deceased, so when he went to the field, he would ensure that the shoes were clean and tidy, but relatively speaking, the pants would not be so precious, and he did not have time to go home to wash, so the mud was still there. And he had no motive to kill, because he and the dead were in love.

Looking at Mr. Zhao again, although the whole body is dry, it can be seen that the middle of the hair is wet, like the appearance of washing the head and not drying it completely, there is a faint smell of wine in the mouth, for Song Ci, who does not drink alcohol, it can be smelled at once. On the premise of excluding the other two suspects, Mr. Zhao changed the title of the deceased, obviously wanting to use the relationship between the two as a basis for exoneration, but his left hand was always held by his right hand, which looked very suspicious. As soon as Lord Xu grabbed Mr. Zhao's left hand, he immediately found two obvious scratches.

At this time, the real murderer was exposed, it turned out that Mr. Zhao learned of Zhang Afu's existence, worried that the deceased was not a virgin, embarrassed to withdraw from marriage for face, but he was not willing, and wanted to verify his body by drinking wine, but the deceased had a heart, did not want to obey, and finally was killed. The case has been solved, and everyone looks at Song Ci with admiration.

This case actually lies in the woman's family debt, the parents in order to repay the debt, hard to tear down a pair of Mandarin ducks, and the daughter's later fiancé is a good-looking teacher, can not put down the face of the marriage, and because of the traditional thinking of women's chastity is too heavy, and did not use the right way, obviously you can use the way of inquiry, but the use of improper way.

1. Adhere to the principle, wisdom to solve the boy's dead body case

After solving many large and small cases, Song Ci encountered a more difficult case. The carcass of a boy was found inside the carcass of a dead pig whose origin is unknown. So the pig was transported directly back to the official court, and then Song Ci performed an autopsy. From the boy's palm, he could see a lot of cocoons, and it could be seen that this was not an incident of kidnapping money.

Because the boy often works hard at first glance, and although the boy looks only seven or eight years old, his bone age is already ten years old, indicating malnutrition, so his height is short. Later, he found an old man transporting dead pigs, surnamed Wang. After questioning, Wang Laohan said that the pig was asked by a Xia butcher to help transport it. Song Ci and his party came to the residence of the Xia butcher and found that there were blood stains on the sheets, and the pattern of the sheets was very consistent with some of the debris on the boy's body, and the boy and his mother came here to buy meat, and had been threatened by the Xia butcher to kill the boy and put it in the belly of the pig. However, the Xia butcher did not admit that he had killed people, and could only escort him back to Yamen first.

At this time, the owner of the mansion where the boy worked, Elder Dong, came, ostensibly regretting the boy, hoping to convict the murderer as soon as possible, but in fact to exert pressure, which looked more like he was anxious to make The Xia Butcher a murderer. Song Ci felt that there was something wrong with it, that is, the boy was smothered to death, if it was a butcher, killing people in this way seemed to be inconsistent with his violent temperament, and the butcher did not admit guilt, could not be beaten into a confession, or had to follow his own steps to find the murderer.

But because there was no new evidence, Xia Butcher was still sentenced to death, and Song Ci once believed that Xia Butcher was the murderer. However, the two things that happened later made Song Ci realize the problem and began to return to the original point and re-investigate the case.

The first thing was an invitation from Dong Yu, the son of Elder Dong, who invited Song Ci and his party to the palace as a guest, showing his sadness at the boy's death, and then intentionally or unintentionally revealing the festival between the Xia butcher and the boy. But Dong Yu said that there was one thing missing, that is, the day the boy disappeared, he ate a chicken leg and two meatballs, during the autopsy, Song Ci found that there were meatballs in the boy's stomach, indicating that he did not leave the house at all, and Song Ci also heard the people in the house say that the wells in the house could not be used, so he found someone to print the wellhead of the well, because the boy had an arc-shaped wound on his back, and after comparison, he found that it was completely right.

The second thing is that Song Ci meets a bullied woman on the street, because Song Ci protected her and sent her home, and the woman mentioned Song Ci. Because the boy looked like he had just died, but a maggot splashed on the woman when he cut open the pig's belly, the woman noticed that the maggot was five or six days old, which was unreasonable. This made Song Ci think of the pig, and the maggot should be on the pig, so they went to check the source of the pig, and finally found dongfu. The food in the boy's stomach can be determined that the boy has not just died, and the boy's body must have been frozen for a period of time, so the time of death is misleading. And Dong Mansion also happened to have ice cubes, which was a very luxurious thing at that time.

So Song Ci set up a plan in order to set up the Confession of the Dong family, and the Xia butcher still "executed" to reassure Elder Dong. Then, someone put a controllable small fire outside Dong Yu's house, and when Dong Yu's parents rushed to Dong Yu's house, they created the illusion that the boy and the Xia butcher had wronged the soul to avenge it, forcing the family of three to tell the truth. It turned out that Dong Yu was not a child, he was fifteen years old, but he was diagnosed with immortality at the age of 7, and he could never grow up, so he had hatred for all children who could grow up.

He let the boy go to the well to jump, said that he could jump over the wellhead three times to give him five or two silver, the result of the boy's first two times were successful, Dong Yu let the boy drink sour plum soup before the third start, and then applied oil at the wellhead, so the third time the boy slipped, his back hit the well, and then slid into the well, the next person on the side did not know that Dong Yu was actually deliberate, immediately jumped into the well to save the boy, and the boy cried and made trouble after the boy was rescued, saying that Dong Yu wanted to murder him, which frightened Dong Yu's mother, so he chose to suffocate the boy. Then Dong Yu told his father about the boy's quarrel with the Xia butcher, so the father thought of a way to dispose of the body and marry the Xia butcher.

The cause of this case was that Dong Yu was unfair to fate, but he blamed his anger on others, and was affected by the environment of the times at that time, as if this disease was not accepted, so Dong Yu's resentment was great. Because of this disease, the parents have a lot of love for Dong Yu, and have reached the point of doting, which will make Dong Yu do whatever he wants.

Song Ci has broken countless cases in this life, some are bizarre, some are miserable, and after experiencing a variety of changes, the 53-year-old Song Ci ushered in the highlight moment of his life, because of his dedicated research in forensic science, his investment in various cases, he traveled to many places, did not give up, and Song Ci, who adhered to his principles, finally had enough knowledge and experience in this field to provide valuable references for future generations.

Later, he turned what he had learned all his life into a book, which was the Collection of Washed Injustices, a total of four volumes. This book provides the basis for human examination for future generations, and the book is rich in content and superb in insight, providing a great contribution to the development of forensic science.
