翻身∶脑后、乘枕、项、两胛、背、腰、两臀瓣、(有无杖痕)谷道、后腿、两曲

四缝尸首须躬亲看验。顶心、囟门、两额角、两太阳、喉下、胸前、两乳、两胁肋、心
、腹、脑后、乘枕、阴囊、谷道，并系要害致命之处。(妇人看阴门、两奶膀)
于内若一处有
痕损在要害或非致命，即令仵作指定喝起。
众约死人年几岁，临时须仔细看颜貌供写，或问血属尤真。
凡检尸，先令多烧苍术、皂角，方诣尸前。检毕，约三五步，令人将醋泼炭火上，行从
上过，其秽气自然去矣。
多备葱、椒、盐、白梅，防其痕损不见处，借以拥罨。仍带一砂盆并捶，研上件物。
凡检覆，须在专一，不可避臭恶。切不可令仵作行人遮闭玉茎、产门之类，大有所误
。仍仔细验头发内、谷道、产门内，虑有铁钉或他物在内。
检出致命要害处，方可押两争及知见亲属令见。切不可容令近前，恐损害尸体。
被伤处须仔细量长阔、深浅、小大，定致死之由。
仵作、行人受嘱，多以芮(一作茜)草投醋内，涂伤损处，痕皆不见。以甘草汁解之，则
见。
人身本赤黑色，死后变动作青HT 色，其痕未见。有可疑处，先将水洒湿，后将葱白
拍碎令开，涂痕处，以醋蘸纸盖上，候一时久，除去，以水洗，其痕即见。
若尸上有数处青黑，将水滴放青黑处，是痕则硬，水住不流；不是痕处软，滴水便流去
。
验尸并骨伤损处，痕迹未见，用糟醋泼罨尸首；于露天，以新油绢或明油雨伞覆欲见处
，迎日隔伞看，痕即见。若阴雨，以热炭隔照，此良法也。或更隐而难见，以白梅捣烂，摊
在欲见处，再拥罨看。犹未全见，再以白梅取肉，加葱、椒、盐、糟一处研，拍作饼子，火
上煨，令极热，烙损处，下先用纸衬之，即见其损。
昔有二人斗殴，俄顷，一人仆地气绝，见证分明。及验出尸乃无痕损，检官甚挠。时方寒
，忽思得计。遂令掘一坑，深二尺余，根据尸长短，以柴烧热得所，置尸坑内，以衣物覆之。良久
，觉尸温，出尸。以酒醋泼纸贴，则致命痕伤遂出。
拥罨检讫。仵作、行人喝四缝尸首，谓∶尸仰卧。自头喝∶顶心、囟门全，额全，两额
角全，两太阳全，两眼、两眉、两耳、两腮、两肩并全，胸、心、脐、腹全，阴肾全，(妇
人云产门全，女人云阴门全)两髀、腰、膝、两 HT 、两脚面、十指爪并全。
左手臂、肘、腕并指甲全，左肋并胁全，左腰胯及左腿脚并全。
右亦如之。
翻转尸∶脑后、乘枕全，两耳后、发际连项全，两背胛连脊全，两腰眼、两臀并谷道全
，两腿，两后 、两腿肚、两脚跟、两脚心并全。
身上的衣物件数。正对头面部：（是否有发髻）头发的长度、（多少）头顶、囟门、发际线、额头、双眉、双眼、（或开或闭，如果闭着，掰开检查眼睛是否完整）、鼻子、（两个鼻孔）、嘴巴、（或开或闭）、牙齿、舌头、（如果是上吊自缢，检查舌头有无抵住牙齿）、下巴、喉咙、胸部、双侧乳房、（妇女的双侧乳腺）、心腹部、肚脐、小腹、阴茎、阴囊、（随后捏查双侧睾丸是否完整，妇女称产门，女子称阴门）、双脚大腿、膝盖、双脚小腿后侧肌肉、双脚脚踝、双脚脚背、十个手指的指甲。
翻身检查：脑后、枕骨部位、颈部、双侧肩胛、背部、腰部、双侧臀部、（是否有杖痕）、肛门、后腿、双侧腘窝、双侧小腿肚子、双侧脚跟、双脚脚底。
左侧：左头顶下方、脑角、太阳穴、耳朵、面颊、颈部、肩膀、肘部、手腕、手臂、手、五个手指的指甲、（是否完整，或握拳或不握拳）、腋窝、胁肋、胯外侧、膝外侧、[此处原文缺字，指大腿内侧或相关部位]、脚踝。
右侧也同上。
检验四缝（仰卧及左右侧卧）的尸体必须亲自查看。头顶、囟门、双侧额角、双侧太阳穴、喉下、胸前、双侧乳房、双侧胁肋、心脏、腹部、脑后、枕骨、阴囊、肛门，这些都是要害致命之处。（妇女检查阴门、双侧乳腺）。
如果在这些部位中有一处有伤痕且位于要害或非致命处，就令仵作（验尸官）明确指出并高声报告。
众人估算死者年龄，临时须仔细察看容貌并记录，或者询问亲属以确认真实性。
凡是检验尸体，先让人多烧苍术、皂角，然后才到尸体前。检验完毕，退后三五步，让人将醋泼在炭火上，人从上面走过，秽气自然去除。
多准备葱、花椒、盐、白梅，以防有些伤痕看不见，借它们来敷盖熏蒸。仍要带一个砂盆和锤子，研磨上述物品。
凡是复检，必须专心致志，不可躲避臭恶气味。切不可让仵作行人遮挡阴茎、产门等部位，这会造成很大误判。仍要仔细检查头发内、肛门内、产门内，担心里面有铁钉或其他异物。
找出致命要害处后，方可押解两名争执方及知情亲属让他们观看。切不可允许他们靠近，恐怕损害尸体。
受伤处须仔细测量长宽、深浅、大小，确定致死的原因。
仵作、行人受嘱托，多以芮草（一作茜草）投入醋中，涂抹在伤痕处，痕迹都不见了。用甘草汁可以解除这种伪装，则痕迹显现。
人身本呈赤黑色，死后变动作青黑色，其伤痕未见。有可疑处，先将水洒湿，后将葱白拍碎弄开，涂在伤痕处，用醋蘸纸盖上，等候一段时间，除去，用水清洗，其痕迹就显现了。
如果尸体上有几处青黑色，将水滴放在青黑色处，是伤痕则变硬，水停留不流；不是伤痕处软，滴水便流去。
检验尸体及骨骼损伤处，痕迹未见，用酒糟醋泼洒敷盖尸体；在露天，用新油绢或明油雨伞覆盖欲见处，迎着太阳隔着伞看，痕迹就显现。若阴雨，用热炭隔着照，这是好方法。或者更隐蔽难见的，用白梅捣烂，摊在欲见处，再敷盖熏蒸看。仍未完全看见，再以白梅取肉，加葱、椒、盐、酒糟一处研磨，拍成饼子，火上煨，令极热，烙烫损伤处，下面先用纸衬垫，即能看见其损伤。
过去有两人斗殴，一会儿，一人倒地气绝，见证分明。等到检验尸体却无伤痕，检官很为难。当时正值寒冷，忽然想到办法。于是让人挖一个坑，深二尺多，根据尸体长短，把柴烧热适当，把尸体放入坑内，用衣物覆盖它。很久之后，觉得尸体变暖，取出尸体。用酒醋泼纸贴在上面，则致命的伤痕遂显现出来。
敷盖熏蒸检验完毕。仵作、行人喝报四缝尸体，意思是：尸体仰卧。从头开始喝报：头顶、囟门完整，额头完整，双侧额角完整，双侧太阳穴完整，双眼、双眉、双耳、双腮、双肩都完整，胸、心、脐、腹完整，阴肾完整，（妇女说产门完整，女子说阴门完整）双侧大腿、腰、膝盖、双侧[缺字]、双脚脚背、十个手指甲都完整。
左手臂、肘、腕及指甲完整，左侧肋骨及胁肋完整，左侧腰胯及左腿脚都完整。
右侧也同上。
翻转尸体：脑后、枕骨完整，双耳后、发际连颈部完整，双侧背胛连脊柱完整，双侧腰眼、双侧臀部及肛门完整，双腿、双侧腘窝、双侧小腿肚子、双侧脚跟、双脚脚心都完整。
Number of clothing items on the body. Anterior view of the head and face: (presence of hair bun) length of hair, (quantity at) vertex, fontanelle, hairline, forehead, eyebrows, eyes, (open or closed; if closed, pry open to inspect if eyes are intact), nose, (nostrils), mouth, (open or closed), teeth, tongue, (in case of hanging, check if tongue is pressed against teeth), chin, throat, chest, breasts, (mammary glands in women), heart and abdomen, umbilicus, lower abdomen, penis, scrotum, (subsequently palpate both kidneys/testicles for integrity; in women referred to as birth canal/vagina, in girls as vulva), thighs, knees, calves, ankles, dorsum of feet, fingernails.
Turn over: back of head, occiput, neck, shoulder blades, back, waist, buttocks, (presence of cane marks), anus, posterior legs, popliteal fossae, calf muscles, heels, soles of feet.
Left side: left temporal region, mastoid process, temple, ear, cheek, neck, shoulder, elbow, wrist, arm, hand, fingernails, (intact or not, clenched fist or open), axilla, costal margin, lateral hip, lateral knee, [text missing], ankle.
Right side follows the same pattern.
The examiner must personally inspect corpses in all four positions (supine and lateral decubitus). The vertex, fontanelle, bilateral temporal regions, bilateral temples, sub-throat, anterior chest, bilateral breasts, bilateral costal margins, heart, abdomen, back of head, occiput, scrotum, and anus are all vital areas where fatal injuries may occur. (In women, inspect the vagina and bilateral mammary glands).
If any injury is found in a vital area or even a non-fatal area, the coroner (wuzuo) shall point it out and report it aloud.
Estimate the deceased's age, carefully observe facial features for documentation, or consult blood relatives for verification.
When examining a corpse, first burn large amounts of Atractylodes Rhizome (Cangzhu) and Sophora Flavescens Fruit (Zaojiao), then approach the corpse. After examination, step back three to five paces, have someone sprinkle vinegar onto hot charcoal, and walk over it; the foul odor will naturally dissipate.
Prepare plenty of Scallion (Cong), Zanthoxylum Fruit (Jiaopepper), salt, and white plums (Baimai) to cover and fumigate areas where injuries might be hidden. Bring a mortar and pestle to grind these substances.
During re-examination, maintain full concentration and do not shy away from foul odors. Do not allow the coroner or assistants to conceal the penis or vagina, as this leads to significant errors. Carefully inspect inside the hair, anus, and vagina for concealed iron nails or other objects.
Only after identifying the fatal vital injury should the disputing parties and witnessing relatives be brought to view the corpse. Do not allow them to approach closely to prevent damage to the body.
Injuries must be carefully measured for length, width, depth, and size to determine the cause of death.
Coroners and assistants, upon instruction, often apply Rubia cordifolia root (Qiancao/Rui Cao) mixed with vinegar to wounds to hide traces. This can be neutralized with Licorice Root (Gancao) decoction to reveal the marks.
Human skin is naturally reddish-black; after death, it turns bluish-black, obscuring bruises. If suspicious, wet the area with water, crush fresh Scallion white parts, apply to the suspected mark, cover with paper dipped in vinegar, wait for an hour, remove, wash with water, and the mark will appear.
If there are multiple bluish-black patches on the corpse, drip water on them: if it is a bruise, the skin becomes hard and water stays; if not a bruise, the skin is soft and water flows off.
For invisible injuries on skin or bone, pour vinegar-soaked lees on the corpse; outdoors, cover the area with new oiled silk or an oil-paper umbrella, view through the umbrella towards the sun to reveal marks. In rainy weather, use hot charcoal held at a distance for illumination; this is an effective method. For more concealed injuries, mash white plums, apply to the area, and fumigate/cover again. If still not visible, take plum flesh, mix with Scallion, pepper, salt, and lees, grind into a paste, heat thoroughly on fire, and cauterize the injury site (with paper lining underneath); the injury will become visible.
Historically, two men fought, and one fell dead instantly with clear witnesses. Upon examination, no external injuries were found, puzzling the inspector. It was cold, so he devised a plan. He dug a pit over two chi deep, heated firewood appropriately, placed the corpse in the pit, and covered it with clothes. After some time, when the corpse warmed up, he removed it. Applying paper soaked in wine and vinegar revealed the fatal injuries.
After fumigation and inspection, the coroner reports the findings for the four positions, stating "Corpse supine." Starting from the head: Vertex intact, fontanelle intact, forehead intact, bilateral temporal regions intact, bilateral temples intact, eyes intact, eyebrows intact, ears intact, cheeks intact, shoulders intact, chest intact, heart intact, umbilicus intact, abdomen intact, genitals intact, (women: vagina intact, girls: vulva intact), thighs intact, waist intact, knees intact, [missing text] intact, dorsum of feet intact, fingernails intact.
Left arm, elbow, wrist, and nails intact; left ribs and costal margin intact; left waist, hip, and leg intact.
Right side follows the same pattern.
Turn over corpse: Back of head intact, occiput intact, behind ears intact, hairline connected to neck intact, bilateral shoulder blades connected to spine intact, bilateral lumbar regions intact, buttocks intact, anus intact, legs intact, popliteal fossae intact, calf muscles intact, heels intact, soles of feet intact.
