The ventilation in the autopsy room was good, but the stench of corpses was still overwhelming.
Xie Qing picked up the scalpel, glanced at Tan Yi, and thought to herself, it stinks so bad, aren't you going out?
Tan Yi never thought about going out. He is a man, and there is no way he can let a girl in her early twenties face such a terrible corpse alone?
But Xie Qing's look made him misunderstand. He thought she was scared, so he said tactfully: "Section Chief Cao is on the way, do you want to wait?"
Xie Qing was a little surprised, "My master is coming? When did he say that?"
Tan Yi said: "Ten minutes ago, he called Fu Da."
That is, Fu Da called.
Xie Qing thought about it. Tan Yi is a newcomer and will need to cooperate with him frequently in the future. It is not good for the master to not come at this critical moment, even if there is a reason.
She explained, "My master's wife has been ill for many years. She has allergic asthma, which is very serious in autumn and winter. I guess the situation is not very good, otherwise my master would definitely come."
Tan Yi said, "I see."
He was indeed a little confused about Cao Haisheng's failure to come, but after listening to Xie Qing's explanation, he understood.
It's not easy to be a policeman, and it's not easy to be a family member of a policeman.
Let's understand each other.
Xie Qing said, "I'm going to work. Do you want to help, Captain Tan?"
"Okay, I'll take pictures." Tan Yi picked up the camera and assisted Xie Qing in fixing the evidence.
Xie Qing said, "Now, I'm going to open the abdominal cavity. Captain Tan had better go out and hide."
"Don't worry." Although Tan Yi said this, he didn't show off and took several steps back.
Xie Qing decisively brought down the knife...
The soft tissue was overly decayed, the skin and flesh were loose, and the scalpel was invincible.
When she cut to the abdomen, she held her breath, and heard a "puff" sound, and the decayed gas and decayed liquid spurted out, splashing onto the white coat.
"Fuck!" Fu Da happened to come in, screamed, and closed the door with a "click".
Xie Qing was startled by him, and the scalpel almost missed the target.
She calmed herself down, cut again, opened the chest, and after the smell had dissipated a little, she said, "The ribs are fractured, and the subcutaneous tissue in the chest and abdomen is covered with large patches of dark green, which indicates that the deceased had been beaten. Judging from the shape of the ribs, the deceased could not have been more than twenty years old... The deceased's heart, lungs, and abdominal organs are not damaged."
Tan Yi took pictures.
Next, Xie Qing opened the stomach. There was no drowning fluid inside, and it was basically empty. There was no intact food residue left. Just as she was about to put it down, the spoon scraped out a small piece of rotten meat stuck to the stomach wall.
She picked it out with tongs, put it in a container beside her, and unfolded it. "This is a piece of raw meat. It doesn't look like it was cut with a knife, but more like it was bitten."
Tan Yi guessed: "The deceased bit the murderer, so the murderer got angry and killed the deceased?"
"I think so too." Xie Qing said as she cleaned off the remaining scalp, opened the cracked skull, and scooped out a small amount of dark brown brain tissue from it.
She said, "A disintegrating fracture is usually accompanied by the spillage of brain tissue. After the brain tissue has dissolved itself, it should be light pink, which means that the injury was sustained before death and there was a lot of bleeding."
Tan Yi probably knew this, nodded, and took two photos of the skull and brain tissue.
Xie Qing put down the spoon, "Now we can be sure that the deceased was not very old and died of a disintegrating skull fracture in a short period of time."
Tan Yi said, "The next question is the source of the body. If the deceased was not very old and was wearing sportswear, we can consider that he was a junior or senior high school student, and the possibility of a high school student is greater. The deceased lived in the school, and the murderer might be his classmate."
Although there is no more evidence, this conjecture is logical.
Xie Qing nodded in her heart. The second male lead was indeed quite capable, but the plain glasses he wore were a little ugly.
She checked the cut clothes again, but still found nothing.
At this time, Fu Da came in again, "Captain Tan, several branches have reported back. Within eight days, the various branches have received three missing persons reports in their jurisdictions, but two of them did not match the gender, and the other did not match the clothing and age."
He was about to finish his words when the door opened again.
Cao Haisheng rushed in, took his white coat from the hanger, and said hello to Tan Yi while putting it on, "This must be Captain Tan, I'm Cao Haisheng. Something happened at home, so I'm late."
Tan Yi said, "I understand. How is the patient?"
Cao Haisheng said, "It's an old illness, the problem is not serious, he will be discharged in two days." He looked at the deceased, "Has the autopsy been completed?"
Tan Yi put down the camera, "Don't worry, Chief Cao, Xiao Xie is very capable, the work here is basically finished, we will go find the source of the body."
Cao Haisheng smiled, "That's good. Captain Tan just go and get busy, Xiao Xie and I will clean up here."
"Okay, see you in the bureau." Tan Yi nodded slightly, "Team Leader Fu, let's go."
Fu Da was puzzled, "Captain Tan, where can we find the body? I have no idea."
Tan Yi said, "I'll explain it to you on the way."
The two of them went out one after the other.
Xie Qing said, "Master, please get out quickly. It's too smelly here. You have to go to the hospital later."
"Okay." Cao Haisheng was not polite, "Okay, I'll wait for you outside."
Xie Qing cleaned the body and the dissection bed, and barely tied the dissected part with a thick thread.
Covering it with a white cloth and straightening up, she said to him, "Rest in peace. We will do justice for you."
After sorting everything out, Xie Qing filled out the autopsy form and pushed the body out the door.
Cao Haisheng came forward and said, "Tell me, what happened?"
Xie Qing said, "The deceased was no more than 20 years old, wearing a sports suit, died of a comminuted brain fracture, and was beaten before his death. There is no body, and no similar missing person has been found so far. Captain Tan infers that he was a high school student living on campus."
"I agree with his judgment. If the murderer told the teacher that the deceased had an emergency at home, and then told the deceased's parents that the deceased had something to do and could not go home for the time being, or if the deceased's home was in the countryside, no one would report the case for a long time."
The two talked as they walked and soon arrived at the cold storage, and worked together to lift the body into the freezer.
Pushing the door of the counter closed, Cao Haisheng exclaimed: "I heard that he is not even thirty years old yet. He is indeed young and promising."
Xie Qing recalled that Tan Yi seemed to be around 28 or 29 years old, six or seven years older than her and Xie Yun.
She said, "Very steady, a bit like an old cadre."
"Haha~" Cao Haisheng laughed twice, "How come you are an old cadre, kid?"
"I mean steady, not old." Xie Qing took off her white coat and threw it into the trash can beside her, "Master, I'm going back to the police station to change clothes, and then go to see Master's wife."
She has been in the police station for almost a month. Even colleagues in the same department will go to the hospital, let alone the master and apprentice?
"This..." Cao Haisheng hesitated for a moment, "Okay, she's on the fourth floor of the inpatient department, room 416."
The master and apprentice took a taxi to leave the funeral home. Cao Haisheng sent Xie Qing to the police station and went back to the hospital.
...
After passing the outpatient building, the inpatient department is behind.
Just a few steps away, Xie Qing was stopped by a young man who was coming towards her.
"Sister Qingqing!" Qin Jie was wearing fashionable Ray-Ban glasses, a grass green casual suit, beige casual pants, and a very eye-catching Giordano sliding buckle belt around his waist.
He walked quickly to Xie Qing, "Sister Qingqing, why are you in the hospital?"
Xie Qing pretended to be confused, "You are..."
Qin Jie was the original owner's original wife. If she didn't want to have anything to do with him, it would be best to cut off contact from the root.
Qin Jie was obviously disappointed, "My name is Qin Jie, you don't remember me? I was there on your brother's birthday."
"Oh... I have some impression." Xie Qing said, "Brother Qin, what's going on in the hospital?"
Qin Jie said, "My grandfather is not feeling well, so he came to the hospital for a few days to recuperate. What about you?"
Xie Qing picked up the fruit basket, "My teacher's wife is sick, so I came to see her."
"Teacher's wife?" Qin Jie didn't understand, how could the 110 operator have a teacher's wife.
"I'm a forensic doctor." Xie Qing's lips curled up, and she smiled like a little fox, "I graduated from the Forensic Medicine Department of Peking University, but my parents have always disagreed with me doing this job, so I told a white lie. Sorry!"
"Forensic doctor?!" Qin Jie was petrified. The little girl in front of him with bright features, a calm smile, and neat and unrestrained clothes was actually a forensic doctor!
Xie Qing: "Yes!"
Qin Jie reacted for a moment, and finally put on a smile on his stiff face, "Well, I have something else to do, I'm leaving first, you go and do your work."
Xie Qing was happy in her heart, "Brother Qin, I don't know if Grandpa Qin..."
Qin Jie said: "My grandpa will be discharged from the hospital soon, it's okay, you go and do your work."
This was almost like driving people away.
Xie Qing said: "Okay, Brother Qin, call me if you have anything. I'm not bad at medicine."
"Ha, ha~" Qin Jie laughed dryly twice, "I'm leaving first."
Xie Qing achieved her goal and went up to the fourth floor happily.
Cao Haisheng opened the door for her.
There were three beds in the ward, and the patient and the bed attendant were all there. The smell was not very good.
Cao Haisheng said to his wife, "Wenxin, this is the little Xie I often mentioned to you, Xie Qing."
Zheng Wenxin held Xie Qing's hand and said with a wheeze, "She is indeed a good girl, so pretty."
Cao Haisheng said that she was seriously ill recently, and it was difficult for her to breathe when she lay down. She could only sit up all night and basically couldn't fall asleep.
She was thin and her complexion was very bad.
Xie Qing hurriedly said, "Master's wife has given me a prize. If you don't have enough energy, you don't have to greet me."
Cao Haisheng said, "Yes, Wenxin, little Xie is my apprentice, not an outsider."
Zheng Wenxin nodded and looked at Xie Qing apologetically.
"It's okay, just sit down and relax." Xie Qing said, "Master, has Master's wife found the source of allergies?"
Cao Haisheng shook his head, "It's still unclear at the moment."
Xie Qing said, "The window is open here, and the air composition is complex and not friendly to the trachea. When the condition is relieved, Master's wife should always wear a mask to filter out possible allergens."
Cao Haisheng's eyes lit up, "This is a good idea."
Xie Qing said again, "The existing medical masks are not very good. It is best to use medical masks from the United States. If there are no medical masks in China, Master can ask someone in a big city to ask for them."
Cao Haisheng nodded repeatedly.
There were many people in the ward, and Zheng Wenxin couldn't breathe.
Xie Qing couldn't stay any longer, so he took out a red envelope from his bag, "Master, the salary will be paid soon. This is a little gift from me. Please accept it."
Cao Haisheng frowned and was about to refuse.
"Master, this is tradition. It would be too unkind of you to refuse it." Xie Qing turned and left. "Master's wife, take good care of yourself. See you tomorrow."
The door closed.
Cao Haisheng opened the red envelope and took out 500 yuan from it.
Zheng Wenxin saw it clearly and was shocked. "Why is there so much?"
Cao Haisheng shook his head. "This is a thoughtful child. In fact, I don't need to teach him anything."
...
At the same time, Tan Yi led people to find Anhai No. 2 Middle School - this is the second school they investigated, which is a little more than one kilometer away from Qingjiang.
The principal was not there, and the director of teaching Liu Zhixue received them.
Fu Da stated his purpose.
When Liu Zhixue heard that someone had died, he was immediately very nervous, "Did you make a mistake? Although our No. 2 Middle School is not as good as No. 1 Middle School in terms of admission rate, it is also among the best in Anhai, and most of the students are hardworking. After all, it is related to the future..."
Tan Yi interrupted his nonsense lightly, "Crime has nothing to do with admission rate, please cooperate with me, Director."
"Oh, oh..." Liu Zhixue's face was not very good, and sweat fell on his forehead, "The children are in class. When the bell rings, I will take you to ask the head teachers of each class."
Tan Yi was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, so he bypassed him and strode towards the office.
"Hey, Captain Tan, why are you so unreasonable?" Liu Zhixue caught up.
Tan Yi said, "If you continue to stop me, I will start to suspect that you are shielding a criminal."
Liu Zhixue wiped his sweat and said, "How can that be possible? How can we who are engaged in education not understand the law?"
The group entered the office.
Several teachers who were preparing for class looked at the plainclothes police officers who rushed in in surprise.
Fu Da said, "Dear teachers, are there any students in your class who suddenly asked for leave? It seemed like three or five days ago."
A teacher said, "We are not the class teachers and did not notice this situation."
Liu Zhixue immediately said, "Right, let's wait until the class is over, otherwise it will cause panic."
As soon as he finished speaking, a female teacher came in, shaking the water off her hands, "The monitor of Class 8 asked for leave a few days ago. It is said that his mother is sick. What happened?"
Tan Yi asked, "Do you know who replaced him ?" "Did he ask for leave?"
The female teacher asked, "How do you know that someone else asked for leave for him?"
Fu Da said, "Please ask this teacher to answer our captain's question directly."
The female teacher looked at Liu Zhixue, "The dean's child asked for leave."
Liu Zhixue's face changed and he shouted, "You are talking nonsense!"
The female teacher trembled with fear, "Then, then, then, I guess I remembered it wrong?"
Tan Yi said, "Teacher, a murder has happened now. If you don't tell the truth, you will be suspected of covering up."
"This..." The female teacher's face turned pale, "It was indeed his son who asked for leave. I happened to be there at the time. Because the child was a good student, the head teacher of Class 8 paid attention to him and asked more clearly."
"Please lead the way." Tan Yi made a gesture of invitation and turned to leave the big office.
The female teacher looked at the dean again and finally followed him.
The senior class was on the top floor, and a group of people went along the corridor to the last classroom.
Tan Yi signaled Liu Feng and Du Zhun to guard the back door of the classroom.
Fu Da knocked on the door and pushed it open.
The male teacher who was teaching mathematics said unhappily: "We are in class, what's the matter?"
Fu Da said: "Is Liu Yibin here?"
A figure suddenly jumped out of the back door and was immediately caught by Liu Feng and Du Zhun who were lying in ambush there.
Tan Yi walked in, stood on the podium, and swept his eyes from front to back, and said to Li Ji and Li Ke: "He, him, him, and him, take them all away. Whoever else was involved must confess his guilt to get lenient treatment."
The classroom was silent.
After a long while, the male teacher asked tremblingly: "What happened?"
Tan Yi took out a photo, "It's a bit scary, don't be scared."
"Okay." The male teacher looked over, "Ah!" He screamed and took several steps back, "Who is this?"
Tan Yi said: "Take another look, is he the monitor of Class 8, Gu Lixiang?"
"Ah?" The male teacher was still in shock, "It's impossible, but..." He walked closer and took another look, "The clothes seem to be his, the child's family is not well off, and he often wears this. How could this happen, wuwu..."
He choked and tears fell, "How could such a good child die?"
"My condolences." Tan Yi stepped down from the podium and looked at Liu Zhixue sternly, "Come with us."
Liu Zhixue shouted, "Captain Tan, I don't know anything, I really don't know anything."
Tan Yi looked down at him, "I don't know anything for now, I just know that you are trying to protect your son, please come back with us for investigation."
A group of suspects were taken back to the police station, and Tan Yi questioned them separately.
Tan Yi and Fu Da interrogated Liu Yibin together.
Liu Yibin wore a pair of highly myopic glasses, and his figure was not like his father, he was thinner, and there was a wound on his right hand where the handcuffs were, which was bandaged with gauze.
He sat quietly on the stool, and no matter what Tan Yi asked, he didn't say a word.
Tan Yi lit a cigarette and looked at Liu Yibin patiently.
The smell of tobacco affected Liu Yibin, he raised his head and glanced at Tan Yi quickly.
Fu Da said: "If you don't say it, others will. Once others confess, you will lose the chance to seek leniency, understand?"
"Ha~" Liu Yibin sneered contemptuously.
Fu Da said again: "Do you think they are all very mean? But don't forget, it was you who killed Gu Lixiang, not them. Why should they be tied to you, just because your father is the dean of studies? You have to know that after this incident, it is hard to say whether your father can continue to be the dean. Moreover, you are over 18 years old, and they are all minors. Why should they perish with you?"
Liu Yibin's face changed, he opened his mouth, and then closed it.
Tan Yi stood up, "Forget it, let's wait for the results of the interrogation of others."
Fu Da said: "Okay."
The two just walked to the door.
Liu Yibin spoke up, "Why do you think I killed Gu Lixiang?"
Tan Yi said, "Gu Lixiang bit off a piece of your flesh, and he has always been better than you. You are so angry and want to get rid of him as soon as possible. Liu Yibin, don't say I didn't give you a chance."
At this time, Li Ji suddenly knocked on the door and came in, "Captain, Wang Ke..."
"I said!" Liu Yibin suddenly shouted.
Liu Yibin explained that Liu Zhixue was very strict with him and would beat him if he didn't get the first place in the exam.
However, no matter how he studied, he was suppressed by Gu Lixiang, a country bumpkin from the countryside.
Over time, he hated Liu Zhixue and Gu Lixiang.
Since he couldn't deal with Liu Zhixue, he would deal with Gu Lixiang.
He relied on his father being the dean of teaching, and pulled the people in the dormitory to isolate Gu Lixiang, urinated in his cup, poured water on his quilt, and did not allow him to read in the dormitory...
But even so, he still could not pass the exam better than Gu Lixiang. In the final exam last month, he still fell behind by more than ten points and was severely beaten and scolded by his father.
So, the first thing he did at the beginning of the school was to intensify the torture of Gu Lixiang.
On the day of the incident, after the evening self-study, he tricked Gu Lixiang to the old teaching building that was about to be demolished behind the school under the pretext of having a good talk with him, and gathered his accomplices to beat him.
Liu Yibin checked the relevant information and knew that beating him in a certain place would not attract the attention of the school, so Gu Lixiang's face was not injured.
But even rabbits bite when they are angry.
Gu Lixiang was the rabbit, and he bit off a large piece of flesh from Liu Yibin's wrist.
Liu Yibin went crazy at the time, and had someone hold Gu Lixiang down and hit him with a large lump of cement...
...
Just when Xie Qing returned to the dormitory, Li Ke came running over, "Qingqingqingqing, the case is solved."
Xie Qing was not surprised at all. She handed Li Ke a banana, "Is it really his classmate?"
Li Ke peeled the banana, "Team Tan is so awesome, they didn't go any wrong way. The murderer is his classmate, so cruel, just a bunch of beasts! No, that's not right, calling them beasts is an insult to beasts."
Although it was expected, Xie Qing's heart sank, "What grade is he? Is the main culprit an adult?"
Li Ke took a bite, as if biting an enemy, "He is an adult, fortunately he is an adult, it's a blessing! Let me tell you, the deceased was a special student..."
She introduced Gu Lixiang's situation again and again.
Although it was in the novel, Xie Qing also felt sad for the unfortunate death of an excellent child.
She was silent for a long time and said, "Fortunately, the sentence at this time was heavy enough, and he could not escape death."
"Ring, ring, ring..." The eldest brother's cell phone rang loudly.
Xie Qing got out of her bag, pressed the answer button, and asked, "Brother, are you okay?"
Xie Chen said, "I'm fine. Fortunately, brother ran fast. How are you?"
Xie Qing said, "Don't worry, I'm a forensic doctor."
"That's good." Xie Chen hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Qingqing, why don't you just stop doing it, it's too scary."
Xie Qing said, "Brother, the deceased was a boy with excellent character and academic performance, a god-level student. Just because of jealousy, the second in their class killed him."
Xie Chen said, "Have you caught the man?"
Xie Qing said, "Yes."
"Dad, the murderer has been caught." Xie Chen said, and then said, "Okay, I know what you mean. Let's meet on Tuesday."
After hanging up the phone, Li Ke took the phone and said, "When did you buy it?"
Xie Qing said, "My brother supports it."
Li Ke pouted, "I want it too, but my brother's salary is too low."
Xie Qing smiled and said, "You can use mine if you need it."
Li Ke was happy again, "Then I'll call now."
She was about to press the button when the phone rang again.
Xie Qing picked up the phone, "Hello."
Tan Yi's voice came over, "Are you free tonight? Call Li Ke and have dinner together?"
Although he was asking, he was determined and could not be refused.
"I'm free, I'll ask Li Ke." Xie Qing asked Li Ke, "Captain Tan is inviting the people who are working on the case today to dinner, are you going?"
"Go, go, I'll go." Li Ke agreed in a chorus.
Xie Qing replied, "Let's go together, where is it?"
Tan Yi said, "How was the barbecue last time?"
Xie Qing agreed and hung up the phone.
Li Ke said, "Qingqing, I think Captain Tan is so handsome, I have to find a chance to ask him if he has a girlfriend during dinner."
Xie Qing: "..." This girl's mind changes so quickly that she has forgotten about Xie Chen at this moment.
