In the afternoon, the sky was dark and the weather was gloomy. In the palace and the side hall, Yuwen Wen sat upright and watched a skeleton man kneel in front of him, while Yin Shishishi, the Minister of Justice, stood aside.

Because of the poor light outside, gas lamps were lit in the hall, and the light and dark fire lights and the white skeleton man made the atmosphere in the hall a little strange, as if a strange ritual was underway.

But in fact, the Minister of Justice was simulating the occurrence of a murder case for the emperor on the spot.

That pair of skeletons is just a teaching tool.

Yuwen Wen, who had personally arrested many murders in the local area that year, quickly entered the state of the Yin Shishi Master, and entered the "time tunnel" and returned to the day of the incident.

That day, the businessman Jiang Yiqu went home and talked about some things with his father and brother. Jiang Wannian mentioned the old story again and asked Jiang Yiqu to help, support his brothers, pay off his debts for his brothers, and ask his family to help in the business, so as not to take advantage of the family business by outsiders.

What Jiang's father said about outsiders refers to the Huang family, Jiang Yiqu's wife tribe. The father and son quarreled. During the words, Jiang Yiqu spoke rudely and was ordered by Jiang Wannian to kneel down and admit his mistake.

Although Jiang Yiqu knelt on the ground, he still contradicted him. Later, an inkstone slammed heavily on Jiang Yiqu's head.

According to the confession recorded by the police, Jiang Wannian said that it was because his son contradicted him, which caused him to pick up the inkstone and smash it on the other party's head in anger, and accidentally beat his son to death.

The police's previous autopsy and the results of on-site investigations support this statement.

Because there were blunt injuries on the back of Jiang Yiqu’s body, scratches on the forehead and nose, which was consistent with what Jiang Wannian said that he asked his son to kneel down and hit the back of his head in anger, causing him to fall to the ground.

However, three days ago, based on the results of the latest autopsy, Jiang Wannian was lying.

Time flies back again, and it is still the same day. The language conflict between father and son. Jiang Wannian asked his son to kneel down and admit his mistake. Jiang Yiqu kneeled down, and Jiang Wannian stood in front of him to reprimand. At this moment, the inkstone was picked up.

With a "bang", he slapped Jiang Yiqu on the back of the head.

The impact was very powerful, which caused Jiang Yiqu to have a skull fracture and a fracture (deflected) of the cervical spine. He instantly lost consciousness, his body became soft, and he fell straight forward, his face fell to the ground, and his breath was dead on the spot.

The reason for saying this is that the autopsy three days ago was chaired by a military doctor with rich experience. Jiang Yiqu’s head was treated separately and was carefully analyzed based on the cracks and ruptures of the bones.

After careful observation, and judging the traces of skull rupture and cervical vertebra fracture, the military doctor predicted the activity trajectory of the inkstone and the only explanation for this trajectory:

The murderer was a left-handed man holding an inkstone in his left hand. While Jiang Yiqu knelt down to face his father, he attacked him from behind and slapped the inkstone in the left position of Jiang Yiqu's head.

After the incident, the police took the autopsy and judged the trajectory of the fatal blow many times. After several consecutive judgments, it was impossible to conclude that it was a left-handed murderer.

The reason for this breakthrough is entirely because the skull has been completely "treated" and only the bones are left. People can directly judge the angle of the blunt strike based on the damage at the bone break.

The deceased knelt before his death. With the position of his head, the angle of the wound on his head (the angle of the inkstone hitting), and the angle of the wound on the cervical vertebrae cracked in the neck, the conclusion that the murderer is left-handed.

What are these so-called "large number of cases"?

It is a "investigation case of the cause of death of the dead" accumulated in the past 30 years.

Blunt attack is a common way of killing on the battlefield. Soldiers wearing pants and armor are not afraid of swords and arrows, but are afraid of blunt attacks. Because two blunt objects such as iron maces and hammers hit people, even if they wear iron armor, they will still be blunt attacked and cause serious physical damage.

Military medicine originated from Huangzhou focuses on research on battlefield trauma. Military doctors have accumulated a large number of head blunt injury investigation results. Therefore, the "old military doctors" are very experienced in judging head blunt injury.

The trajectory of blunt strike can be judged based on the autopsy, from the rupture of the skull and the damage of the cervical spine.

When the conditions are appropriate, it can even be judged which hand the armed holds the blunt weapon to attack.

Because when a person's head is hit hard, not only will the skull be damaged, but the cervical spine will also be damaged. Combined with the damage, the angle of the wound, the strength and the approximate movement trajectory of the blunt object can be judged.

In some cases (angle), there is a difference between the wound caused by the left-hand attack and the right-hand attack in people holding a blunt weapon. This difference is very subtle. If you only judge from the appearance of the corpse, it is difficult to judge by initial touch.

Only when the corpse turns into chondrils, the cervical spine is damaged can it be judged only if it turns into a corpse, and the cervical spine is damaged.

Yin Shishi used teaching skeletons to demonstrate the situation at the time of the incident to the emperor, and then summarized it: "Your Majesty, according to the fact that Jiang Wannian is not a left-handed, and among the Jiang family's sons, the eldest son Jiang Yirong is a left-handed."

"According to the investigation by the department, this person owes a lot of debts. He has asked Jiang Yiqu several times for money to help him. Again and again, Jiang's father also came forward many times to ask the concubine's son to help his legitimate son pay off his debts. There is a conclusive evidence for this."

Upon hearing this, Yuwen Wen touched the mustache under his chin: "Then, it was the brother who killed his brother. My father had no choice but to admit his guilt on his son, trying to get away with it because his son was unfilial and killed someone inadvertently?"

"Your Majesty is wise, that's the truth."

Yinshi Master put the teaching skeleton down, and an eunuch quickly stepped forward and took it out. Then Yinshi Master took out the file and reported to the emperor the latest case of the accidental murder of the son in Yangzhou.

The experienced "old military doctor" came to the conclusion that "the murderer was left-handed" based on the examination results. After the suspect was re-locked, the father and son of Jiang were faced with questions (received questions separately), and were in chaos.

The unified pre-examination statement cannot be justified by the autopsy results, so the truth is revealed.

That day, Jiang Yiqu did have an argument with his father Jiang Wannian. Jiang Wannian asked Jiang Yiqu to take out another sum of money to repay his legitimate brother Jiang Yirong. Jiang Yiqu believed that he had already taken out a lot of money to repay his legitimate brother's debts, and he had done his best. There was no reason to keep giving money.

During the debate, Jiang Yiqiu told the humiliation of his brother to him back then, and told his father that he did not like him in all kinds of dislikes. In his words, he threatened that from now on, he would not let his brothers go to the business bank to "help" without caring about his brothers' debts.

Jiang Wannian was so angry that he just slapped his son a few times and scolded Jiang Yiqu for being ruthless and innocent.

At this time, Jiang Yirong, who was standing aside, was also angry.

Jiang Yirong owed a lot of debts, and now he is counting on his father to come forward and ask his younger brother Jiang Yiqu to help him pay it back. As a result, Jiang Yiqu not only refused, but also said nothing, which made Jiang Yirong, who was forced to the point of despair by the creditor, so angry that he was stunned.

He has always looked down on this illegitimate younger brother. He kicked and beat him at any time back then, bullying him at will. Now he is so angry that he sees his younger brother not helping him when he dies (Jiang Yirong tells himself), picking up the inkstone and slapping it over.

This shot caused a great disaster and it was too late to regret it.

In desperation, Jiang Wannian, who was eager to protect his son, could only bear the charge of murder. He insisted that Jiang Yiqu was rude, which led to his anger and losing his mind and accidentally beat his son to death.

After three days, the case was reversed. The Yangzhou government quickly summarized the case and sent it to Chang'an by telegram. The Yinshi Master got the result and quickly entered the palace to report to the emperor.

"The coroner has been a low-ranking family for a long time. His job was passed down from father to son, and his status was low." Yuwen Wen continued after drinking a cup of tea: "I classified coroners from all over the country as nationality and established forensic positions in the past, but there were many obstacles."

"Facts have proved that the government must enforce the law and uphold justice, and there is no need for experienced forensic doctors. Autopsy is a science and should not be a knowledge that only a low-key household can learn."

"There is only one truth about the murder case, but the facts that the government can find out may not be the truth. If there is no experienced military doctor in this case, the truth will probably not be revealed to the world."

Seeing Master Yin Shi nodding and saying yes, Yuwen Wen said again: "This case has been solved, but the sentencing will inevitably cause controversy again."

"Is the legitimate brother killing a gangster brother intentionally murdering someone? Is it a casual killing?"

"Is it unkind that the gangster brother will not pay off his debts for his legitimate brother?"

"The father favors the legitimate son, is he deeply in love? Then, a father protects the legitimate son, is he deeply in love. What is this what to watch the concubine's son die when he is unfaithful but protects the murderer?"

"What should Jiang Yirong be punished by murdering someone? What should Jiang Wannian cover up the murderer?"

As he listened, Yin Shishi felt a chill on his back. He heard what the emperor meant, that was, "the matter was not over yet", and he had to continue to use this case to "make trouble".

Challenge the right to interpret "Confucianism" over "Legal" and challenge the view of "using Confucianism and law" advocated by Qingliu.

Thinking of this, Master Yin Shi felt dry and he could already imagine how many fierce debates would arise around the verdict in this case.

Alas, I've been having a restless life this year.
