Chapter 1002 I Was so Frightened that I Almost Peed My Pants

Fu Zichen took a closer look and found that the three people's faces were smaller and their beards had been shaved off. They seemed to look more alike.

"It seems it's really them."

Liu Wei went to look at the other two corpses. Mu Tian's nose was changed, and Mu Di's eyebrows were changed. The colloid under their skin was taken out and sutured, and their appearance suddenly changed.

"I didn't expect that there is such a way to put something under a person's face without looking strange. How do you do it?" Fu Zichen asked curiously.

Liu Wei said: "It's just a cover-up. Besides, the biggest contributor to covering up their appearance is the beard, which has little to do with the facial features. Of course, although I don't like the doctor's skills, after all, the postoperative scars left after plastic surgery The marks and the wounds covered by the beard are too obvious, but the doctor’s bold and advanced thinking is still worthy of praise.”

"Plastic surgery?" Catching the strange two words, Fu Zichen asked: "Is it different from disguise?"

"Disguise is to reshape a person's external appearance and change their appearance. Plastic surgery is to reshape the interior of a person and also change their appearance. The former is a small trick, while the latter requires surgery. Of course, with today's medical methods, it must have taken a lot of secrets to make this surgery successful. medicine."

Fu Zichen still didn't quite understand, but he didn't ask any more. Liu Wei knew everything anyway, so she just said so.

But he didn't want to know, Liu Moyi and Sima Xi did. They looked at Liu Wei eagerly, their eyes shining brightly as they explored knowledge.

Liu Wei felt uncomfortable being stared at by them, coughed, and continued to explain: "Actually, plastic surgery has existed a long time ago. Of course, it was not called plastic surgery at first. It was a kind of criminal law. According to legend, in ancient India... it was A long time ago, there was a dynasty in the Western Regions. That dynasty was located in a remote place, surrounded by long stretches of yellow sand. Like all dynasties, the people there were also divided into classes. There was a big gap between the poor and the nobles. At that time, they were recognized by the powerful and the kings. People who make mistakes will be executed with different punishments. There is a kind of punishment called face-cutting. Cutting face was originally called nose-cutting. It means cutting off a person's nose from the face without taking your life. It just cuts off your nose. This is It's similar to our current carvings. Carving the word "crime" on a prisoner's face will make it impossible for him to wash away his life. No matter where he goes, even people who don't know him will be able to recognize you at a glance. You are a sinner who has been in prison. "

Liu Mo blurted out: "Cutting your nose is much more serious than carving. How can you breathe without a nose?"

Liu Wei said: "Use your mouth."

Liu Mo was stunned for a moment, a little surprised and a little relieved, and touched the tip of his nose.

Liu Wei continued: "Nose cutting was the beginning. Later, this kind of punishment was extended to eyebrow cutting, mouth cutting, and ear cutting. It was during that period that some wandering doctors began to perform operations to restore the facial features of criminals in order to make money. , If you have no nose, I will make you a fake nose. If you have no ears, I will make you a fake ear. If you have no mouth, I will make you a fake mouth. If you add a beard, you will basically not be able to see it. Even if you can see it, a lot Cover-up is not so obvious. In short, face-changing at that time was a secret technique known as "reviving sinners". However, after the changes of the times and the development of civilization, the original simple filling technique turned into a face-changing technique. I have a travel diary of the Western Regions in my bookcase about plastic surgery. I have also mentioned that some small and ignorant countries in the Western Regions still retain this kind of punishment. However, it is not publicized for the sake of humanity. It is considered a secret punishment. As for this kind of cosmetic surgery, , that book also records it, although it is not commonly used, but there are still people who are proficient in it.”

Liu Mo understood what he heard and pointed at the bodies of the three brothers of the Mu family and asked: "So in order to escape the government's pursuit, they found a doctor from the Western Regions and changed their appearance?"

Liu Wei nodded: "Probably, but it should be impossible for such a doctor to appear in the Central Plains."

"Have they been to the Western Regions?" Fu Zichen asked.

Liu Wei did not answer. The three brothers had been on the run for several years, traveling all over the world. Maybe they had actually been to the Western Regions.

It's just that a good person with sound facial features dares to undergo such an extremely dangerous operation. Liu Wei doesn't believe it. After all, not everyone can accept surgery on the face.

After taking off the dirty gloves and replacing them with new ones, Liu Wei began to look at other parts of the three corpses in detail.

"Mu Hai, twenty-seven stab wounds, fatal injuries, zero, Mu Tian, ​​nineteen stab wounds, fatal injuries, zero, Mu Di, thirty stab wounds, fatal injuries, also zero." Liu Wei finished. , raised his head and looked at Sima Xi: "I remember you said that Wu Zuo has concluded that the three of them were hacked to death with random knives?"

Sima Xi turned around and ordered outside: "Go and call Wu Zuo."

Wu Zuo was quickly brought in. As soon as he came in, he first smelled the stench that could not be concealed. As someone who has been dealing with corpses all year round, he should be very adaptable, but he just couldn't stand it, even if he refused. Go in, stand outside the door and cover your mouth and nose.

Wuzuo was getting older, so Sima Xi didn't make it difficult for him. He just said, "Tell me, sir, how the three deceased people died."

In response, he said: "When I rushed to the scene, based on the environment at the time and the injuries on the three deceased people, I concluded that all three of them were hacked to death by someone. All three of them had multiple injuries. The house is full of blood, I thought, even if they are strong and have shed so much blood, they will definitely..."

"What do you think?" Liu Wei interrupted the man's words and asked.

Wuzuo was stunned for a moment: "Sir, I am basing this on past experience..."

"What's your experience?"

Wu Zuo was a little annoyed: "What do you have to say, sir?"

Liu Wei raised his eyes and glanced at the man. He was quite old and must have been doing this for a while, so he was not polite: "You determine the cause of death of the deceased through blood volume. Is that possible? They were killed first, and then the murderer." Bleed them to create the illusion of death from blood loss.”

The old man immediately said: "It's too late to kill someone and run away. Who would be so free to do such unnecessary things?"

"How do you know it is redundant, but you don't know that the murderer is deliberately trying to confuse the public? What if the other party is calm by nature? What if the other party is a habitual criminal who has killed many people and has his own skills? The cause of death is not investigated deeply, only vague. To solve the case, Qingzhou Prefecture has had a coward like you, and I don’t know how many unjust cases have been made."

When the old man was pointed at his nose and scolded, his face suddenly turned red and he remained silent.

Liu Wei stared at him, pointed to the knife wound on Mu Hai's chest, and said: "This knife struck the left chest of the deceased. The blade was sharp and the bone was visible. But have you noticed that this knife did not damage the spleen of the deceased, and did not injure the deceased's spleen." It's not enough to cause death." She pointed to Mu Tian's body again: "The deceased's arm was chopped twice, the injury was very deep, and the handle tendons were cut off, but the blood flow was not normal, which shows that he Someone chopped off the hand tendons after death. Do you know whether he was injured before death or after death? How to judge the conclusion based on the wounds and blood volume?"

The old man knew nothing, he didn't know anything, but after hearing what the other party said, he still raised his eyes slightly and glanced at the corpse, but it was too far away to see clearly.

"The three of them were poisoned. The poisonous gas spread all over their bodies and blended into their blood, so the blood stinks. If you don't believe it, you can come over and take a closer look."

The old man really had a tough temper, so he hesitated for a while, then took steps and walked in.

But as soon as he took two steps in, the stench forced him to fight for his life. He simply held his breath and rushed in. But as soon as he took a look, his eyes were dazzled by fear and his legs were numb.

"Mother, face, what's wrong with your face, why is it like this..."

The faces of the three corpses were all drawn into tabby cats by Liu Wei and then patched up, so when you look closer, they look like dead rag dolls with human eyes, human noses, and human mouths.

The old man was so frightened that he almost peed his pants.

This old man could not be counted on. Now five days have passed since the incident. Liu Wei heard that there were witnesses and immediately asked to see witnesses.

Sima Xi first asked for help, and Liu Wei took advantage of this time to continue the autopsy, hoping to find some clues from the body.

Unexpectedly, the clues were not found, but the yamen officer who reported back and forth said with a troubled face: "Sir, the old man and his grandson are packing their luggage and said they are leaving."
