There is only one truth about the matter, but the truth that everyone wants is different. They are based on their own subjective judgments, intentionally or unintentionally forming opinions about the truth. If you want to find the "truth" from different truths, you must have ironclad evidence.

If Yuwen Wen wants to uphold justice, he must use facts as evidence. Both of them in front of him claimed that the deceased (Hou Mo and Chen Qiong) was shot by himself. The primary issue is to prove the ownership of the arrows in the deceased.

In other words, please prove that this arrow is your arrow.

This question is very critical. If you cannot confirm that your arrow hits the target, how can you talk about military merit?

The hunter who shot down the geese and the hunter who brought the geese back with the arrow were obviously more rewarding than the hunter.

On the battlefield, if you reward merits according to the saying that whoever cuts his head will make great achievements, you will not be able to convince the public at all.

The question Yuwen Wen asked actually had already happened, and the "prosecution and defense" had a round of disputes on the battlefield.

Li Jing first proved himself that although the arrows he used were "mass-production goods" provided by the quartermaster, he marked his arrows and carved special small patterns on the arrow shaft with a knife.

For this reason, Li Jing took out all the remaining arrows in his archery bag and was examined.

Yuwen Wen looked carefully and found that as Li Jing said, whether it was the arrow inserted behind the deceased or the arrow handed over as a comparison, the same mark was engraved on the shaft.

On the other hand, a young man named Pulu Han Chan also proved the belonging of the arrow: the arrow he used also marked it.

The ruined Han Chan also took out the remaining arrows from the arrow bag and handed them over as certificate.

The arrows handed over, the tail end of each arrow is the arrow rhinestone, and Han Chan carved an extra thread to form a "cross" groove.

Arrow skulls, slots at the end of the arrow, are used to fix the arrow on the bow string. Generally speaking, any arrow must have a rhino, otherwise it will be easy to be empty (the bow string does not bring the arrow out), and it will easily damage the bow.

Common arrows are all rhinestones, but there are no rhinestones, but they are rare.

Yuwen Wen looked carefully at the arrows inserted in the chest of the deceased. There were indeed two arrows, forming a "cross" groove.

The first problem is solved, and the next is the second problem: both arrows hit the same target, so would these two arrows cause fatal injuries?

not necessarily.

Generally speaking, people who die under arrows on the battlefield are either shot into the vital points by arrows, killed with one arrow, or they are killed by many arrows, and they die because of excessive blood loss.

People wearing heavy armor generally do not get shot into the vital area, even if they are shot several arrows, Yuwen Wen has had similar experiences, and the soldiers present agree with this statement.

Therefore, to find out the cause of the death of the deceased, an autopsy must be performed to confirm what the injury caused the death of the deceased was.

Speaking of autopsy, Yuwen Wen was "very good at it". He has been in Huangzhou for many years and has done practical work. He personally inspected the scene and found evidence in order to determine the case, so he is very experienced in this.

In a murder case, there will be a lot of evidence left in the body of the victim, so the person who solved the case will find it, so the autopsy must be examined.

This kind of thankless job is generally carried out by coroners. Now it is a war, so it is impossible for coroners to be there. Although military doctors have the ability to perform autopsy, the few military doctors are busy treating the wounded, and it is difficult to find military officials with autopsy capabilities.

Therefore, the autopsy that started in public will be conducted by Yu Wen Wen himself.

With Yuwen Wen's noble status, it was really sensational to do this humble act. The marshal Sima Yinshishi and a group of generals advised Yuwen Wen not to do it himself.

However, everyone's ability to argue with reason was limited, and even the Marshal General Wei Xuan did not have any strength, so he could not stop Yuwen Wen at all.

Wei Xuan stayed in Woyang and was not here, so at this moment, no one in the entire army could stop the commander from performing the autopsy himself.

Yuwen took off his armor, put on a white coat worn by a military doctor, a white hat, and white long-sleeved gloves on both hands. With the assistance of the military officer, Yuwen Wen examined the body of the deceased (Hou Mo Chen Qiong) in public.

He wanted to find evidence from the body, find the fatal injury, find out who gave the other party a fatal blow, and use iron evidence to convince everyone.

The autopsy was inevitable, and it was suspected of blaspheming the dead. Although this was the body of the enemy commander, Yuwen Wen did not intend to insult the corpse. He ordered someone to bring a white cloth to cover Hou Mo Chenqiong's face and light three incense sticks next to it.

He ordered people to find a large red cloth, and the four corners were supported by spears to block the body.

Then he ordered people to pull up the starting barriers around the tent to prevent Hou Mo Chenqiong's body from being seen by idle people coming and going.

Before putting on the mask, Yuwen Wen took a few slices of ginger and held them in his own hands to prevent the odor and sucking in the corpse when observing the corpse at close range.

At the beginning of the autopsy, Yu Wenwen was not in a hurry to remove the armor and clothes of the deceased, but checked it from head to toe, first observe the appearance and injuries of the body, oral description of the inspection, military officers recorded it aside, and sketched the entire body of the deceased, including the location of the wound on his body.

It was initially confirmed that the deceased (Hou Mo Chen Qiong) had not broken limbs. Although there were many injuries on his body, none of them would endanger his life. The more serious injuries were arrow wounds on his chest and back.

After prying open the mouth, I found that my tongue was intact and not bitten off, which means it was not gossiping. There was blood on the corners of my mouth and blood stasis in my mouth.

After the appearance inspection, Yuwen Wen began to remove Hou Mo Chenqiong's armor and the two arrows inserted on his body were not pulled out yet. He used special tools to cut the armor at the arrow to facilitate the removal of the armor and clothes.

These things were assisted by military officials and progressed very quickly. Soon the deceased had nothing left except for their big pants.

The deceased had injuries on his body, some were scars from old wounds, arrows and knife wounds. Each wound was a certificate of the deceased's combat experience.

Yuwen Wen carefully touched every inch of the deceased's scalp with his hands, and no lumps or wounds were found, and no signs of skull cracking were found.

The deceased wore a pants while his pants were somewhat deformed and seemed to have been hit, but his head was not damaged. It is not ruled out that he was hit by an armor-breaking blunt weapon such as iron mace, causing head injury and death.

Yuwen Wen's slow analysis while taking the autopsy made everyone present nod their heads silently, and no one had any objections.

Li Jing felt a little dazed when he listened to King Xiyang's analysis of the wounds of the corpse. The King Xiyang in front of him seemed not to be the commander of the entire army, but was like an old official from the Qiu government, who was carefully examining the autopsy and trying to find clues of the murderer.

All kinds of details were considered, and various problems that could cause were well-known. Looking at King Xiyang who was a few years older than him, Li Jing felt that the other party must have had such rich experience in autopsy.

He knew that Xiyang King Mu was in charge of Huangzhou for almost ten years, just like the pastoral officials in various places in the world, he would inevitably persuade people to teach the farming and sericulture and to make the prisons carefully.

The same is the essence of the judgment of the verdict. Some officials only know how to abuse punishment and make a move; some officials themselves are confused and wronged and accused good people, allowing the real murderer to escape from justice; while some officials are just like gods in their judgment.

At present, Li Jing feels that King Xiyang should be the last one.

He believed that the King of Xiyang must have personally examined many corpses, not for false reputation, but for finding out the truth, and for the victims to be justified and bring the real criminals to justice so as not to wrongly accuse the good people.

Only officials with such thoughts will personally take a autopsy, not caring that such behavior will undermine dignity and cause criticism.

As King Xiyang, there was no need to work so hard, but the other party could do this. Li Jing felt that the rumor that Huangzhou has been prosperous and the people live and work in peace and contentment should not be rumored.

Isn’t this a living example of starting a horse to govern the army and dismounting a horse to govern the people?

Thinking of this, he looked at King Xiyang with more admiration. On the other side, Lu Wuji and others focused on the investigation of the Xiyang King's autopsy. The broken Han Chan with a grievance looked intently.

It was much more relaxed than at the beginning.

The King of Xiyang was given an autopsy while explaining, which made him and his other companions feel much more at ease.

At first, they were worried that the King of Xiyang would favor "his own people" and looked down on them, the newly surrendered "outsiders", and said the black ones to white ones and confusing right and wrong, just like those unscrupulous dog officials and tribal chiefs.

Lu Wuji and others originally lived in Youzhou area and lived in no fixed place. They were like rootless duckweed wandering around, seeing many ups and downs and experiencing many things.

They have seen how dog officials are greedy for the law and make mistakes, and have witnessed the so-called "I say justice" that the tribal chief helps his relatives and refuses to help. Now, seeing that the newly resigned King Xiyang seems to be just, the uneasiness in his heart gradually disappears.

Shooting and killing the enemy's commander was a great contribution. Lu Wuji and others believed that the contribution was a devastating Han Chan. It was certain that if the King of Xiyang was unfair, they would not have to obey the orders of this person in the future.

Everyone is following the big leader to make a living by licking blood from the knife. What they are afraid of is that the big leader is unfair to deal with things and the rewards and punishments are unclear. If you follow such a big leader to play with life, you will be in trouble sooner or later.

Lu Wuji and others could see that King Xiyang was impartially "judging the case" and had no bias, so they felt that they would definitely get a fair result.

At present, the deceased was naked and could clearly see where the two arrows were inserted. After carefully looking at each other, the original obsession in his heart gradually began to loosen.

The arrow shot by Li Jing hit the back of the deceased and nailed it to the right scapula of the deceased through the armor. It was not very deep. It seemed that it did not penetrate the scapula and did not cause any damage to the deceased's internal organs.

The arrow shot by Han Chan hit the deceased's chest and nailed it to a rib through the armor. It was not very deep, and it was obvious that it did not cause any damage to the deceased's internal organs.

These two arrow injuries do not constitute fatal injuries to the deceased (Hou Mo Chen Qiong).

Such a conclusion was clearly understood, which made Li Jing and the confident Li Jing and the Cang Cicada unable to help but speechless.

The enemy commander did not shoot himself to death, so could he fall off a horse and die in a melee?

Whose credit is?

"The neck bone and waist bone have not been broken, so it shouldn't be because of falling off a horse."

"The deceased's chest did not collapse and his ribs were not broken. It should have been because he was trampled on by a horse." Yuwen Wen continued to explain and continued to attract everyone's attention.

"The limbs were not broken, and even if they were falling off a horse, it would be fine."

"There is no wound under the neck, it should be that it is not a suicide, there is no swelling in the abdomen, no urination and defecation are out of control, and the internal organs should not be severely hit by external forces."

Yuwen Wen's statement made many people more confused. The cause of Hou Mo and Chen Qiong's death was really confusing.

"The deceased's right foot and ankle were also swollen, and his right hand wrist was also swollen. It can be judged that when he fell off the horse, his right foot first hit the ground, his body was unbalanced, and he fell to the right, so he supported his right hand, so his hands and feet were sprained."

"The deceased had calluses on his right hand, and the fingers on his left hand were less calluses. It can be determined that this person is not left-handed."

After Yuwen Wen finished speaking, he paused, looked at the people present and asked, "Then, a desperate defeated general, with an ambush in front and a pursuer behind him, he didn't want to surrender, so he knelt on the ground to surrender. What if he did?"

"With the knife, you can't hold the knife in your right hand, but you can do it with your left hand, but there is no trace of wiping your neck..."

"So, how did the enemy commander die?"

Yuwen Wen raised a suspense, and saw everyone staring at him with wide eyes, without any silence, and began to reveal the answer.

"The deceased's tongue is intact, but it is abnormally swollen and his mouth is slightly ulcerated. This is not a normal way to die, it may be to take poison."

Yuwen Wen signaled the military doctor who rushed over to take out the silver needle, take it and hold it in his hand, and stabbed the deceased's throat first.

This is the silver needle detector.

The silver needle pulled out changed color a little, but it was not very obvious. Yuwen Wen changed the needle and touched the deceased with one hand, and then pricked it with another needle.

The part he pierced was the other party's stomach. After pulling out the silver needle, the needle was black.

"It turned out to be a poison and committed suicide!"

Some people blurted out, and many people found it unbelievable.

A long-distant general on the battlefield had scars everywhere. At the last moment, the way to commit suicide was not to commit suicide by wielding a knife, but to commit suicide by taking poison. This is too...

"A person with a determination to die will find a way to give himself a chance to die. It is a good idea to have poison on his body."
To be continued...
