Chapter 41 Fishing

"Look at this? What's it for?" Qin Su was silent for a while before he asked reluctantly.

If it were an ordinary person, Qin Su would think that the other person wanted to see this thing out of curiosity.

But Xu Zhizhi is different. The things she knows are a bit unconventional.

Whatever she learns and what she knows is not just an idea or interest like most people. She can draw, disguise and even act, and she has used them in a very unconventional way.

Although she used all her money for the right purposes and she was a very decent person, she was still very dangerous and could easily be targeted by people with bad intentions.

The moment Xu Zhizhi asked the question, she saw a complicated expression on Qin Su's face, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.

But in the end, she didn't hear the lesson that it's not good to learn this, she only heard what's the point of learning this.

Although it didn't sound nice, it didn't teach her to be disorganized and dictatorial.

She was not sure whether the other party would agree to it. This request was a bit unreasonable. She could only reply seriously: "The next role I am going to audition for is a police forensic doctor. The director requires us to have a certain understanding of the profession of forensic medicine. I have no other channels to learn about the profession of forensic medicine, so I can only learn about this industry in depth through you."

Qin Su's brows relaxed a little. Xu Zhizhi gave him a very reasonable explanation. He also understood that this girl had always been willing to work hard to make money, and it was normal for her to prepare for the audition role.

"If you just want to watch and learn, I can arrange it, but you can only watch from the outside. You can't touch or experiment with cats, dogs, or mice!" Qin Su thought for a while, then looked at Xu Zhizhi and said.

Xu Zhizhi nodded, "I understand. I just learned about forensic medicine for the character's profession. I would never think of performing an autopsy or killing someone myself."

"That's good..." Qin Su was still a little hesitant. Although he believed in Xu Zhizhi in his heart, she was a tested person. But it was difficult for him to guarantee that Xu Zhizhi would always have this mentality, because people would change.

As for why I have to say so much, it is mainly because people with twisted minds completely degenerate into criminals, starting with abusing and killing small animals. After a period of abusing and killing, they gradually become dissatisfied, and then begin to turn their attention to people, and finally start to implement their own abusive plans.

The key is that many of these people generally have very high IQs and are very good at disguising themselves.

For example, Chen Xu is very good at disguising his appearance. If it weren’t for Xu Zhizhi, it would be really difficult to know what the other person has done just by looking at his appearance.

He believed Xu Zhizhi, but whether out of public interest or selfish motives, he did not want the other party to go astray and become perverted because of seeing the bloody scenes.

Especially Xu Zhizhi's skills, which enable her to have excellent cover-up ability, making her criminal behavior difficult to detect.

As he was thinking, Qin Su's eyes fell on Xu Zhizhi and he added, "When you study, I will follow you."

Xu Zhizhi: ???

She was full of questions. Wouldn't it be better to just send her on a tour?

Qin Su ignored Xu Zhizhi's questions and did what he said.

There was no more dissection and analysis work on corpses before the New Year, so he took Xu Zhizhi back with him and let her observe the current dissection work of Li Fude first.

He may also have tissue from the fisherman who killed him, fingerprints, and the exact cause of death.

This case seems to be closed, but the investigation must be handled rigorously. They cannot just rely on confessions and investigation findings. They must strive to obtain any evidence that can be obtained.

After finishing it, submit it to the procuratorate for prosecution after the new year to avoid any unexpected problems. Otherwise, you will have to spend a lot of time and effort in the follow-up.

Of course Xu Zhizhi agreed. She hadn't had breakfast yet, so it would be perfect to go and have breakfast after watching the movie.

Otherwise, you will vomit, which is too cruel to your stomach.

Since they were just watching through the glass, there was nothing wrong with Qin Su taking the person away, not to mention that Xu Zhizhi was a great help to the case.

It's just like they hired a foreign aid, and the foreign aid has some special requirements.

Qin Suo, despite being a bit straight, was actually very considerate. He knew that Xu Zhizhi wanted to learn something real, so he arranged a place very close to her, only two or three meters away from the forensic doctor's operating room.

Because the distance was very close, Xu Zhizhi put on protective clothing and a mask and was fixed there, watching through the glass as the forensic doctor performed the autopsy in the operating room.

The autopsy of a complex corpse is a long process, and professional forensic doctors generally do not wear masks, because wearing a mask will prevent them from smelling the special odor of some corpses. Therefore, the autopsy is an extremely horrific scene, which is a great challenge to the forensic doctor both mentally and physically.

Burnt bones and flesh that smelled like human flesh, or corpses that had been soaked in the river for two or three months and were full of stench and maggots. The impact on the mind and body was huge, and people who studied forensic medicine usually vomited.

Xu Zhizhi pursed her lips and watched the forensic doctor peel off the flesh of the deceased bit by bit, searching for the necessary clues from the only remaining fingernails of the deceased.

The white bones, the rotten flesh crawling with maggots, and the corpse that was barely pieced together all gave Xu Zhizhi a strong psychological shock.

Just as Xu Zhizhi thought, she ripped off her mask and started to vomit. Xu Zhizhi knew she would have a reaction, but she didn't expect it to be so severe.

It seems that there is still a difference between the real thing and the fake one simulated by the system.

It was more of a psychological recognition, she realized that this was a real corpse.

Even though the door blocked the stench, Xu Zhizhi seemed to smell the rotten smell. Then her mind recalled and she continued to vomit until her throat and mouth were sour and she barely felt better.

Qin Su watched from the side and handed her a tissue.

I didn't ask her if she still wanted to watch it. This girl is very opinionated and would definitely say if she wanted to back out.

Xu Zhizhi vomited until she had nothing more to vomit, then she stood up and continued watching, watching the forensic doctor use various instruments and perform various operations.

It was just because it was her first time seeing it and it was hard to control herself, so Xu Zhizhi just watched it reluctantly. Apart from a quick glance, she didn't know many details.

But gradually, her mood stabilized.

Seeing that she had calmed down, Qin Su quietly left to deal with the case.

Once it’s done, I can go home tomorrow to celebrate the New Year.

Xu Zhizhi watched the whole process and gradually accepted it psychologically, even though she was still afraid and frightened.

She was also glad that she had prepared early. If she hadn't, she would have just gone to the audition casually and would have ended up looking like a fool.

Being a forensic doctor and being able to perform autopsies are two different things. Forensic medicine is a discipline that requires learning a lot of knowledge. Autopsies are about understanding corpses and being able to perform autopsies. Xu Zhizhi's skills even include the means of performing autopsies while still alive and torturing people.

Xu Zhizhi never thought that after acquiring the dissection skills, she would blindly and confidently interview for a forensic role.

She sought opportunities to learn, not only to improve her anatomical skills, but also to understand forensics.

Xu Zhizhi watched intently as the other party used a special method to remove half of the fingerprints. Then he carefully cleaned the nail crevices of each deceased person.

Regardless of the identity, status, age and appearance of the deceased lying here, the forensic doctor inside has only one goal, not to miss any clues and use evidence to bring the criminal to justice.

Xu Zhizhi did not feel any ill will, and her eyes even gradually became calm, observing everything the forensic doctor in front of her did with a normal mind.

At this moment, Xu Zhizhi felt the charm of forensic medicine.

A group of serious, focused, calm and strong people are trying to find the truth in the subtle details, letting the corpse quietly tell us everything that happened to it.

Speak for the dead.

Xu Zhizhi was watching intently, and the forensic doctor in the room turned his head and stared at her for three seconds before she reacted. She thought of being polite and smiled at him.

The other party was also stunned and smiled at Xu Zhizhi in a friendly manner.

She put down what she was holding, washed and disinfected herself, and then walked out of the autopsy room.

Xu Zhizhi didn't know what the other person was doing at first, until she saw him go out and come back with a bag, then she realized that he was preparing to have breakfast.

I thought I should have some breakfast, so I prepared to go out and find some.

She walked to the rest room outside and was about to take off her protective suit when she called out in a clear voice, "Why are you going out? I have some here. Let's eat together."

The girl called Xu Zhizhi and motioned her to come over and eat.

Xu Zhizhi had a puzzled look on her face, but she still cooperated and walked over.

"Thank you for the money!" Xu Zhizhi picked up the three sugar buns and a cup of soy milk handed to her by the other party, looked at the girl a little embarrassedly.

The girl waved her hands nonchalantly, smiled and said, "I didn't buy it! Qin Su invited us and ordered it before. Let's eat together now and persuade you to leave."

"Persuade me to quit?" Xu Zhizhi asked curiously.

The girl was only seven or eight years older than Xu Zhizhi. According to Qin Su, she had been working as a forensic doctor for five years. She was a very experienced and meticulous forensic doctor.

Xu Zhizhi thought he would be a rather serious person who is difficult to get along with, but she didn't expect him to be so carefree and straightforward. His eyes and movements were a bit like those of a 22 or 23-year-old college student who had just graduated.

The girl sneered and said with some respect: "Yes, but I don't think you need to be persuaded. You have adapted much faster than me. When I was in school, I vomited for a whole week before I could barely get better."

"After the New Year, when you start working, can I follow you and learn something about forensics?" Xu Zhizhi asked carefully, looking at her expression.

She will be sixteen after the new year, but she won't have many scenes to shoot after that. She can study for more than a week after filming. If she catches up on the textbook knowledge, she should be able to meet the director's requirements.

The girl nodded slightly, pointed to the room, and said while eating, "Okay, but you can't go in there. No one except the police is allowed to go in there. And you can't ask about the case. You can ask me about professional matters."

"I know! Thank you, sister!" Xu Zhizhi answered seriously with sparkling eyes.

The girl smiled kindly. Xu Zhizhi was much younger than her. When she watched the TV series, she thought the little girl had a weird temperament. Now she looked like a little white rabbit.

She was willing to agree because Xu Zhizhi was helping her. If she hadn't been able to solve the case so quickly, she would have had to work overtime and wait for the case to be solved before she could go home.

She thought about it, and after eating, she handed Xu Zhizhi a Bluetooth headset and explained it to her occasionally.

Then the two added each other's contact information, and she recommended some professional books to Xu Zhizhi.

Xu Zhizhi was very grateful and decided to buy a gift for her forensic sister after finishing her studies.

In this way, Xu Zhizhi started the second round of learning.

Learning makes people progress and arms the brain.

While Xu Zhizhi was watching, her anatomical skills were also being put into practice.

To dissect something, you need to understand the body itself, including every tendon and every inch of skin. Because this skill is biased towards crime, it will describe in detail how to peel off the victim's skin, how to pull out the victim's nails with perfect strength, and the distribution of internal organs and bones.

Xu Zhizhi didn't need to learn how to systematically dissect a corpse and completely remove its bones with the least amount of incisions.

Of course, this is not limited to humans.

These things, like her instincts, were engraved into her deep memory.

If Xu Zhizhi had not remained unaffected, it would have been hard for her to imagine what kind of unimaginable evil events she could cause with so many skills.

Xu Zhizhi shook her head and continued to watch and study seriously.

After five o'clock in the afternoon, the forensic doctor had finished all his work and was packing up to go home.

Xu Zhizhi also packed up and went back to the hotel, and Qin Su still had some final finishing work to do.

When Xu Zhizhi turned on her mobile phone on the road, she received a hot spot push.

The Shijiang City police issued a police bulletin on the Nanhu corpse case, announcing that the suspect had been found.

The comments were all positive, with some praising the speed.

In addition to this part, there are comments on the interesting fact that the person who reported the case is the suspect. This coincidence also has a special entry and has become a hot topic.

Xu Zhizhi looked at the report subtly, feeling funny that she was also in the game but watching from the outside. However, this did not attract Xu Zhizhi's attention, because she wanted to let herself go.

There are many fun things to do in Jiang City. Xu Zhizhi simply made some disguises, put on a mask and went out to play.

There were many people on the street on the 29th of the lunar month. Xu Zhizhi was eating and drinking and in a very good mood. When she received Qin Su's call, she had already been sitting on the flat ground by the river, watching the children set off fireworks.

After more than ten minutes, Qin Su sat next to Xu Zhizhi and handed her a bouquet of fireworks.

After thinking about it, he handed Xu Zhizhi a lighter.

Xu Zhizhi tilted her head to glance at him. Without any communication or exchange, the two of them lit up the fireworks and watched the bright fireworks burn continuously and emit beautiful light in the night.

You won't be able to play with small cigarettes for long, it's just for the novelty.

Xu Zhizhi sat and thought about where to buy books.

During the Chinese New Year, express delivery was suspended and bookstores were closed, and ordinary bookstores did not have the books she wanted.

"I have some books on anatomy and forensics at home, do you want them?" Qin Su said.

Of course Qin Suo doesn't know how to read minds. He learned it through observation. You can figure it out just by thinking about it.

Xu Zhizhi stared at Qin Su with eyes wide open, reached out and patted his shoulder, "Captain Qin, you are my savior!"

This guy is not only handsome, but also trustworthy! Apart from being a bit straight, he is pretty perfect.

"It's just a small matter..." Qin Su looked at her with a smile, and finally his eyes fell on Xu Zhizhi's index finger. She was still wearing the tracking alarm ring he gave her. Qin Su looked approving, and it seemed that Xu Zhizhi was always on guard.

Finally, Qin Su drove and took Xu Zhizhi home.

The forensic book was not his, but his mother's. Before he decided to give it to Xu Zhizhi, he had obtained his mother's consent.

When we arrived at Qin Su's house, it was very lively. Qin Su left Xu Zhizhi in the living room and went to the study to look for a book.

Father Qin likes Xu Zhizhi very much. Because of Xu Zhizhi, he finally met the murderer who killed his brother when he retired. He let his brother rest in peace, otherwise he would really retire with great regret.

The other people in the family had heard about what Xu Zhizhi had done, and they enthusiastically pulled Xu Zhizhi to eat tangerines and put all the melon seeds and peanuts in front of her.

Finally, as they were talking, they prepared to eat quickly before letting Qin Su take Xu Zhizhi back to the hotel.

They didn't think it was their son's or grandson's girlfriend because they didn't say so. If they didn't say so, they were just friends, so they couldn't do anything strange or ambiguous.

Xu Zhizhi only felt warmth, friendliness and welcome, which made her feel relieved.

After all, the New Year is coming soon, and being around friends of the opposite sex will make people feel awkward unconsciously.

Now their attitude made Xu Zhizhi relax, and she went to her friend's house and had a good meal.

After dinner, they sat for a while and talked about the Nanhu corpse case. Then Qin Su took Xu Zhizhi back to the hotel with a large bundle of books.

Xu Zhizhi planned to wait until the second day of the Lunar New Year, pay New Year's greetings to Qin Sujia and Bai Sheng, and then return to Beijing to pay New Year's greetings to Director Zhou, Chen Han and others.

Finally, we returned to the city where the filming took place to wish the old couple in the Fu family a happy new year.

After Xu Zhizhi finished her plan and looked back, she found that she had made good friends this year, had elders who protected her, and her career had taken off.

Apart from the thrilling process, everything else was very good.

The days passed as she read and worked. The sounds of firecrackers and fireworks only added a bit of excitement to Xu Zhizhi's days.

Qin Su sent a message to ask Xu Zhizhi if she wanted to go home for the New Year, but Xu Zhizhi refused because she also liked to be alone and didn't like to celebrate the New Year with people she didn't know well.

After paying New Year's greetings at the end of the year, Xu Zhizhi brought the books back to Beijing, and then she paid various New Year's greetings. Finally, after paying New Year's greetings to the old couple on the 15th, she officially started filming on the 16th.

The days of filming were boring, but Xu Zhizhi was still serious and there was no difference from before except that she read books in her spare time.

Qian Qian was actually curious whether Xu Zhizhi could make it to the audition, because Director Meng had a very good eye. Xu Zhizhi's acting skills were indeed good, but he was afraid that this little girl Xu Zhizhi would not be able to handle the role.

He read part of the script through some news, and the role is completely different from the current one. Or it is completely opposite to the role Xu Zhizhi played before. After stepping out of her comfort zone, Xu Zhizhi may not be able to do it.

But Xu Zhizhi is young, so she might as well give it a try.

No, in his next movie, he can barely let this fierce woman play the leading role.

Xu Zhizhi was so absorbed in studying and acting that she had no idea of ​​Qian Qian's thoughts.

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, all the crew members were finished.

The Tracker was finally completed successfully.

At the celebration banquet, Qian Qian finally couldn't hold it back anymore and revealed his true nature as a crybaby.

In the end, it was Qian Ning who took the top spot and completed the celebration banquet.

Afterwards, everyone went their separate ways, and Xu Zhizhi and Lin Yu rushed to Jiang City.

After learning the theoretical knowledge, with only eight days left for the audition, Xu Zhizhi worked hard to learn how the other party actually operated.

Xu Zhizhi went to and from get off work with the forensic doctor sister almost all day long, and only occasionally did Qin Su ask her to draw a portrait.

Lin Yu studies in a hotel, focusing on making progress.

Yun Ziwei knew that Xu Zhizhi was concentrating on preparing for the audition of "Tracking the Trail", so she almost postponed all commercial activities to allow Xu Zhizhi to concentrate on studying.

At the same time, she was not idle either, and dug out the information of other actresses who auditioned for the role, as well as who played the male and female protagonists.

The final point is Director Meng's preference, what type of actors he prefers.

This is the key point, because every director has a preference.

Xu Zhizhi returned seven days later, and what she got was a thick stack of information. Of course, Xu Zhizhi did not forget to give a gift to the forensic sister. She carefully selected a watch and gave it to her as a token of gratitude.

After briefly reading the information sent by Yun Ziwei, Xu Zhizhi rested for a night and waited for the audition.

After washing up, Xu Zhizhi was playing with her mobile phone and preparing to go to bed when a message appeared in front of her.

It was Gu Lie. He had been posting messages relentlessly during this period, sharing his own dynamics from time to time. Just like a good friend, he happily shared everything about himself.

Since there was no excessive or greasy behavior, Xu Zhizhi could not just turn hostile and could only choose to ignore it.

Thinking of this, Xu Zhizhi thought of Chen Han's warning last time. She was going to ask why, but then she forgot to ask.

This is a good time to ask.

Xu Zhizhi opened the chat box and quickly typed a question.

Soon, Chen Han responded.

Chen Han: He is a womanizer. Almost every woman who gets close to him will become completely love-minded. So don't get close to him, or you will become unhappy.

Knowing to Know: Thank you Sister Han~

Chen Han: Don’t shout like that next time, it’s so corny.

Knowing to Not Know: Okay, Sister Han.

In the end, Chen Han shyly ended the conversation, and Xu Zhizhi smiled knowingly.

After getting to know Gu Lie, Xu Zhizhi ignored him and directly picked up the script in her hand to watch.

The next day, Xu Zhizhi got up early, changed into the clothes she had prepared long ago, and got in the nanny car to the audition location.

After arriving at the audition hotel, everyone was assigned a number and then informed of the scenes that required audition.

Xu Zhizhi took a look at the content. The scene was the female supporting character's reaction as a forensic doctor when she saw the body of an eight-year-old girl who had been raped and killed.

There is no description of the case, and no one knows what happened at the audition scene; the entire process was kept confidential.

There is only a simple and sloppy description of the character's calmness, self-control, extremely high IQ, and full of contradictions, and the rest of the information is basically non-existent.

It is equivalent to an open-book exam, but the answers are uncertain and it all depends on you.

Xu Zhizhi's mind raced, and like the other auditioning actresses, she flipped through the script page by page, having read it countless times.

There are even actors who practice as if no one is around, showing their professionalism.

Yun Ziwei was also seeing such a scene for the first time. After pursing her lips and thinking, she whispered to Xu Zhizhi not to be nervous, "Just keep performing steadily and leave the rest to fate. If it doesn't work out, we'll look for other crews."

There is no need for Xu Zhizhi to play any role, it all depends on one's own ability.

"I know," Xu Zhizhi didn't look up and continued to flip through the script, her eyes falling on a line.

The quote was: "Dissection is an enjoyable process. When the truth was revealed, I couldn't tell whether I was happy or joyful."

This line is quite literary, but it is easy to distract people from the drama when reading it.

Such lines are not usually seen in serious dramas. Lines are meant to be everyday and concise, and acting also requires a natural sense of complete integration.

Lines like these ruin the atmosphere, and the audience can easily be pulled out of the play and criticize the lines.

Xu Zhizhi stared at it, gradually becoming lost in thought.

Lin Yu leaned over to look at Xu Zhizhi's expression, patted her shoulder gently, and asked worriedly, "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

They saw how long Xu Zhizhi had been preparing, and knew that she must be looking forward to this drama. When people are faced with tense people and things, it is easy for their bodies to react.

Lin Yu was afraid that Xu Zhizhi was feeling unwell, so she asked anxiously.

"No, it's okay..." Xu Zhizhi came back to her senses and shook her head to indicate that nothing was wrong.

Lin Yu hummed, opened the hot water cup and let Xu Zhizhi drink some hot water, which could help relieve her tense mood.

Xu Zhizhi nodded, drank some water, took a deep breath and got ready.

One by one, the actresses started auditioning. There were thirteen in total, and Xu Zhizhi was ranked seventh. Being in the middle of the order, neither early nor late, has both advantages and disadvantages.

Director Meng has a more normal personality compared to Director Zhou and Director Qian. He is just a normal, serious and old-fashioned director.

Unless the performance is very bad, I will not criticize it.

As for whether or not you are selected, we just have to wait for further notification and sign the contract after that.

Soon, one actor after another came in and out. Apart from a complicated and unclear expression flashing in their eyes, it was impossible to tell whether the result was good or bad.

As time passed, Yun Ziwei's expression became tense.

Finally, it was number seven's turn.

When her number was called, she nodded politely to the attendant and walked into the audition room.

There was no stage like Director Zhou's performance, only a room that looked like a skit.

The person being auditioned was a forensic scientist, and the other party set up a crime scene.

The floral bed sheets are full of realism, and the bedside and room are filled with furniture and various tables and chairs.

Xu Zhizhi was startled by the person lying on the bed at first sight. She took a closer look and then breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, carefully observe the entire arranged crime scene and observe various details.

The floral bed was covered in blood, which had flowed from the body, staining a large area of ​​dark brown. Lying flat on the bed was a little person about 1.4 meters tall, wearing a skirt embroidered with Cardcaptor Sakura.

Her skirt was torn, and it was obvious that she had been raped inhumanely.

It has extremely lifelike flesh and blood limbs, and its hair, facial expressions and limb size are very similar to those of an eight-year-old girl. Its body is covered with a network of green veins and its abdomen is bulging, imitating a slight appearance of a giant!

And because the people who had auditioned before had done it, the room was filled with blood and gore, with red and black blood scattered on the ground. Because only this part of the stage was lit with white light, it looked extremely eerie and terrifying.

In front of the door was a table with things that might be used for an autopsy.

Xu Zhizhi’s pupils suddenly trembled,

It’s not that I’m scared, it’s mainly because are auditions so wild nowadays?

There was no fear or retreat in Xu Zhizhi's eyes, because she could tell at a glance that it was fake.

I have seen quite a few of them in the past few days, including the real corpses I saw at the scene with the forensic doctor. It is true that my courage has been trained, and my eyesight has definitely been trained.

Because of her rich "autopsy experience", she even gave constructive suggestions to her sister, the forensic doctor.

She glanced at the stage, then at the people gathered in a circle in front of the audition stage. In addition to Gu Lie, who was sitting next to the director, and Lin Yao, who played the female lead, the rest were all middle-aged and elderly men and women, about eleven or twelve people.

The audition team.

Although it was the director who kept her, the opinions of others were also important.

Director Meng sat in the middle, writing and drawing on the propped-up board with a pen in his hand. When he saw Xu Zhizhi, he was stunned for two seconds before continuing to draw.

"Hello everyone, I'm audition number seven, Xu Zhizhi, auditioning Jiang Ningfu. Audition session..." After introducing herself, Xu Zhizhi bowed slightly and looked at the audition team.

Gu Lie cast an approving look at Xu Zhizhi, but Xu Zhizhi simply pretended not to notice and ignored it. If she could avoid seeing it, she would. What if she looked at him and he thought she was interested in him?

Director Meng didn't smile at Xu Zhizhi. He just tapped his chin lightly at her, signaling her to start acting.

Xu Zhizhi received the reply and turned to face the scene in front of her.

I was immersed in the drama in one second.

Her gaze changed from that of a gentle and kind actress to that of a calm and intelligent female forensic doctor with a cold look, an upright posture, a faint smile on her face.

She put on the protective clothes she had prepared naturally, then put on gloves and a hood, picked up the box, walked slowly to the female corpse, and began to examine the body externally.

First, determine the time of death of the corpse, which can be judged from the degree of rigor mortis.

After moving the body, the joints of the hands and legs had gone from stiff to soft. Based on the green web and the growth of maggots on the body, the estimated time of death was about 72 hours.

That is about four days.

If the time of death is known, then that is the cause of death.

Xu Zhizhi lifted up the man's clothes, checked the wounds all over, and determined that they were fatal injuries.

There was a knife wound on the body and the rest were strangulation marks on the neck.

"It's impossible to determine the cause of death. An autopsy is needed," Xu Zhizhi said calmly with a cold look in his eyes.

Xu Zhizhi placed her hands on both sides of her thighs, stood one meter away from the deceased, bowed slightly to show respect, and then walked closer to begin the autopsy.

Xu Zhizhi picked up the knife and started to move, without any fear or retreat in her eyes.

Because it had been opened long ago, it was convenient for them to perform without wasting time. After examination, Xu Zhizhi concluded that the death was due to acute excessive blood loss.

She moved slowly and steadily, examining every detail of the body. Her eyes were cold and there was nothing unusual in them, as if this was as simple as eating and drinking.

The notebook placed next to it was taken over, and then his discoveries were recorded bit by bit.

She conducted a detailed examination of the body, including the special injuries on the lower body.

The on-site arrangement was really strong. Xu Zhizhi even found an antigen test to test the corpse.

She remained very calm throughout the whole process, and the small corpse did not seem to cause any disturbance in her.

He continued his work calmly, calmly and methodically, just like a real forensic doctor, with no expression on his face from beginning to end.

Until the end, the environment is judged, such as traces of struggle and whether the door lock is damaged, and a portrait of the suspect is drawn based on the traces.

There is no unnecessary joy, anger, sorrow or happiness, nor is there a lot of dialogue to highlight what she has done.

This is Xu Zhizhi's understanding, because forensic scientists have witnessed too much.

Just like doctors have seen too many different kinds of patients, all they can do is to try their best. Trying their best is the greatest care for their patients.

Their job is to perform the autopsy perfectly and make the speechless bodies tell the truth about what happened to them in their lifetime.

There are no extra tears, fear or empathy, only professionalism.

Just when it was almost over, Xu Zhizhi remembered the line.

"Dissection is an enjoyable process. When the truth was revealed, I couldn't tell whether I was happy or joyful."

At this moment, Xu Zhizhi was suddenly enlightened, and a meaningless smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. This smile was very pure, shallow and short-lived. It lasted only for a short moment, like a flash in the pan.

Except for those who paid close attention, almost no one saw it.

Meng Shijun looked at Xu Zhizhi's smile and suddenly sat up straight in his chair, with a different look in his eyes.

Xu Zhizhi continued to do her own thing as if nothing had happened, and then picked up the report.

Only after he took three or four steps did he think about it and tidied up all the corpse's clothes without buttoning them at all.

Then he looked at it with satisfaction before turning around and leaving.

Until he stood aside, leaned forward slightly and stood up, "Dear directors, producers, and seniors, my performance is over."

Everyone was whispering to each other, with complicated expressions on their faces. It wasn't because Xu Zhizhi acted so well, but because her acting was too ordinary, like an ordinary, neat, elegant and good-looking forensic doctor.

This led to a polarization among the producers, assistant directors and others. One side thought it was just mediocre and showed no acting skills. The other side thought Xu Zhizhi played the forensic doctor very well, unlike other actresses who almost suppressed their fear to look at simulated corpses and barely completed a certain amount of corpse examination.

There were even actors who wrote the lines and improvised while holding the corpse and crying.

Everyone looked at Xu Zhizhi, and the only unanimous opinion was that she had done some research on the profession of forensic medicine.

This is worthy of recognition because of professionalism.

Xu Zhizhi looked at Director Meng, because Director Meng hadn't said a word yet.

"You have read the script carefully and figured out Jiang Ningfu's character's growth experience, her personality and habits, and her psychological condition, right?" Director Meng finally spoke. He did not comment on her acting skills, but directly asked questions about Xu Zhizhi's role.

Xu Zhizhi nodded emphatically and answered calmly, "She grew up in a twisted family. Her parents were hostile to each other because of their bad habits. Because she was ignored and neglected, Jiang Ningfu grew up to be lonely, world-weary and perverted. On the outside, she pretended to have a normal personality and behavior, just because she didn't want to be hated, excluded and ignored."

"She is not a kind person in the popular sense. She is more like a person who is both good and evil. She is not like an ordinary person, has a very calm outlook on life, and is very good at imitating others."

He is more like a mentally abnormal person who hides in the crowd, relies on his job as a forensic doctor, and is addicted to dissecting corpses to comfort himself.

Only in the details can we see the other person's psychological state.

If you just look at the surface, the other party seems to be a very professional forensic doctor.

Xu Zhizhi didn't realize it at first, until she remembered that seemingly ambiguous line and figured out the secret.

"Not bad, you have carefully studied this role, and the forensic doctor has also done some research. Let me see the records you made." Director Meng stretched out his hand and asked Xu Zhizhi to take a look at the records.

The record was written by Xu Zhizhi later to record the findings of the autopsy process.

Xu Zhizhi nodded and handed it out, and Director Meng looked at it carefully.

His eyes fell on the final analysis of the murderer and he looked up at Xu Zhizhi.

Xu Zhizhi explained: "The girl's injuries were bruised, probably because the murderer squeezed her to prevent her from struggling. This also indicates that the murderer is about 1.7 meters tall. The door you arranged showed no signs of being opened violently, so it is preliminarily determined that the murderer is an acquaintance..."

"The murderer should be a friend of the parents, or a relative of the same age as the parents. He has a rather strange personality and unstable moods, and has certain mental problems."

Everyone's eyes were on Xu Zhizhi, and the stagehand and assistant director had surprise in their eyes.

Because when the stagehands were making the props, they arranged them according to his height and weight as the murderer, and the background of the murder in this scene was pretty much the same as what Xu Zhizhi had described.

This is not just a simple understanding, this is something I have specifically studied!

Director Meng nodded and handed the things to Xu Zhizhi, "Okay, wait for notification. I will notify you within three working days."

"Okay, I'll go out first," Xu Zhizhi leaned forward slightly, then slowly left.

This is Director Meng's habit, not only to be steady but also to be cautious and not to reveal any intentions.

Then number 8 came in and Xu Zhizhi left.

Yun Ziwei came over and asked in a low voice, "How is it?"

"I'll do my best. I'll reply within three days," Xu Zhizhi replied softly.

The others were also listening, and their expressions relaxed a little when they heard this.

Yun Ziwei nodded, "That's right, we just need to wait. Let's go back now, we have a business event to attend."

Lin Yu also nodded, took out a cup of water for Xu Zhizhi to drink, then put on a black mask and left the scene.

After gaining a certain degree of fame in the entertainment industry, Xu Zhizhi had sufficient working hours, and she started her business activities while waiting.

Some people also forwarded some good news about "Deception", such as the box office exceeding 3 billion.

This is extremely rare for a suspense crime movie.

For this purpose, Director Zhou also distributed big red envelopes in the previous crew group.

Xu Zhizhi was lucky and managed to snatch half a month's food allowance.

After sending the congratulatory message, Xu Zhizhi picked up her phone and watched a short video.

Gu Lie's news came out at this time.

Xu Zhizhi didn't care at first, and was ready to refuse the message as soon as she clicked in, because it was Gu Lie's request to ask her out for dinner. Although the other party was single now, he was 15 years older than Xu Zhizhi, and if he went out at night, marketing accounts would post gossip within an hour.

The key is the huge age and status difference, plus Gu Lie is Yun Jiu's boss, so it's easy for her to become a woman trying to climb the social ladder.

Just as Xu Zhizhi was typing, another message appeared on the other side.

Gu Lie: Director Meng was there too. He really liked you playing Jiang Ningfu, but he still had some doubts about your acting skills so he was a little hesitant about whether to choose you.

Gu Lie: After listening to Director Meng, I decided to clear up the misunderstanding for you. We will meet at Pin Tea House at 7:30 in the evening. Remember to arrive early.

He sent two messages in a row, and his words were always considerate of Xu Zhizhi, and he even said that he had mobilized his connections to ask Director Meng for the underlying script.

Enthusiastic, caring, full of distance and tenderness, Xu Zhizhi was moved by him.

Yun Ziwei passed by, took a look, and said in surprise: "Zhizhi, are you so familiar with Gu Lie? Do you want to go? If you go, I will let Lin Yu bring another assistant to go with you, and let the driver pick you up."

"I'll tell you later," Xu Zhizhi's eyes flickered as she spoke and typed a response.

Knowing is not knowing: Please Mr. Gu Lie has arranged it. I am looking forward to playing the role. But I cannot interfere with what Director Meng decides. I respect Director Meng's choice.

Thank you and I'm sorry for wasting your time.

Knowing to Pretend Not to Know: Sorry, I’m busy right now, so I won’t chat anymore.

Yun Ziwei watched Xu Zhizhi respond without interrupting her. Instead, she waited for Xu Zhizhi to finish typing before responding.

Xu Zhizhi turned around and looked at Yun Ziwei, "Do you know why I refused?"

"Why?" Yun Ziwei asked, shaking her head in confusion.

Xu Zhizhi laughed and said, "Because Gu Lie didn't even make an appointment with Director Meng, or he wanted me to agree before he made an appointment with Director Meng. The so-called help for me was actually fake, he just treated me like a fish."

When you observe people doing things, you should look at what they actually do.

If you really like someone, you will definitely do it first, because you are afraid that changes will affect the person you like. Just like giving something to someone you like, you can already know what the other person likes through daily understanding, and then buy it directly.

Instead of using this kind of fishing method, Xu Zhizhi would owe others a big favor if she went there.

It’s not that Xu Zhizhi is extreme, but we have to be on guard.

Just as Xu Zhizhi finished her analysis, her cell phone vibrated.

Gu Lie: Okay, I believe in your ability.

Xu Zhizhi smiled and looked at Yun Ziwei, "Except that Gu Lie is a little troubled, I have good news to tell you."

Yun Ziwei opened her eyes wide with a look of surprise.

"The role of Jiang Ningfu should have been confirmed to be mine," Xu Zhizhi said with a smile on her face.

Yun Ziwei lowered her eyes, and then suddenly realized that Gu Lie must be using flowers to offer to Buddha. He already knew the answer! He just wanted to catch Xu Zhizhi, so he took advantage of the time difference and wanted to sell Xu Zhizhi a good deal, so that Xu Zhizhi would think that he was an extremely good senior.

With her favorability doubled, if you continue to pursue her, you will be able to win Xu Zhizhi's favor.

After thinking about this, Yun Ziwei's face changed drastically and her eyes became extremely unhappy.

Fortunately, Xu Zhizhi realized it.

Thinking of this, Yun Ziwei smiled.

On the other side, after replying to the message, Gu Lie suddenly stood up angrily and threw his phone to the ground.

An Apple mobile phone fell to the ground with a bang, and the screen immediately cracked into spider web-like patterns and lay quietly on the ground.

"You don't know what's good for you! Xu Zhizhi, just wait!"
