Chapter 53 He is so good at pretending
Episode 53 He is so pretentious
The next day.
Forensic Identification Center.
The Warren River District was primarily designed to promote the flora and fauna of Anubis.
21.2 meters wide and 4 meters deep.
The river is laid out according to the terrain, with natural stones moved from the mountains inside, which not only enhances the diversity of water flow, but also provides more habitats for aquatic plants and animals. There are also beaches and vegetation belts around.
However, in this case, this can be ignored.
Mingsheng's body was brought to our workbench.
The body was discovered not far from the time of death, and the condition was far from being serious enough to show a "network of corrupted veins" on the limbs. The corpse had no extra belongings, and no old injuries, birthmarks, tattoos or other physical features.
Just as Fu Lin said, he had no defensive scars, no resistance wounds, no struggle wounds, only abrasions and impact wounds caused by the collision and friction between his body and the rocks under the impact of the water flow, all of which were hidden under his clothes.
There was no common toxic or alcohol reaction in the blood or gastric contents.
There was no subcutaneous bleeding in the neck, no bleeding spots around the left and right optic nerves, no fractures of the hyoid bone, thyroid cartilage, etc., and violent mechanical asphyxiation was ruled out.
However, based on the analysis of the composition of the stomach contents, the deceased's last meal was around 7:30 last night.
After an autopsy, the cause of death was determined to be carbon monoxide poisoning.
Now there are many problems:
1. If the deceased committed suicide, why did the others dump their bodies in the Warren River?
2. Mingsheng was 1.8 meters tall. How did he die of carbon monoxide poisoning without being drugged or drunk?
3. Did the murderer use any unusual and rapidly metabolized poison?
4. If the body died of carbon monoxide poisoning, how was the cockatiel brought to the park?
…
Thoughts like these swirled in my head.
In fact, in a case like this where the protagonist is involved in a murder, the forensic doctor has basically no say, just like in an anime about a certain elementary school student who is a bleach god, the forensic doctor's presence is basically zero. It is generally used to assist in providing the cause of death. The departments with a slightly higher presence are the trace inspection department, the physical evidence inspection department, etc.
At most, there is a narration in the comics to indicate the progress of the case.
However, outside of the comics, we still have to face life, just like now——
"We should have a basic understanding of the cause of death," Director Zhan said, looking around. "According to the procedure, what should we do next?"
Question-and-answer sessions like this are generally designed to test interns’ basic knowledge.
Director Zhan conducts random checks every day, and you can never guess when he will suddenly ask a question. Even when they meet on the street, arrange tasks, or have dinner at the table, Director Zhan will casually ask many conceptual or technical questions, such as "Which disease is not within the scope of forensic work?", "What is the exact definition of sudden death?", "What are the three main categories of unnatural death?", "How to identify peripheral nerve injury?", etc.
After Director Zhan finished speaking, no one responded for a few seconds. I was about to speak when Director Zhan just pointed to Xiaozhuang to answer, "What do you think, Xiaozhuang?"
"Check the internal organs!" Xiaozhuang immediately raised his hand in response.
As soon as he finished speaking, Director Zhan handed the scalpel to Xiaozhuang very naturally, "Very good answer, then you do it."
Xiaozhuang was suddenly panicked, but instinctively took the scalpel. She has a good foundation, but she gets nervous easily. Seeing the tip of the knife subconsciously moving towards the center line, I coughed quickly. Xiaozhuang came back to his senses and subconsciously looked in my direction. I whispered to him, "Do a Y-shaped dissection starting from the neck." Xiaozhuang held the scalpel and nodded nervously.
Lower your head and cut.
An autopsy is physically demanding work, so many people think that forensic medicine is not a job for girls.
But in fact, girls themselves have very unique perspectives and sensitivities, and they are more likely to notice things that male forensic doctors don’t notice.
After 32 minutes, the morning practice ended.
Director Zhan asked me to help write a report and then send it to the police station.
While I was typing on the computer, Xiaozhuang made me a cup of milk tea.
I subconsciously looked up and said "thank you".
Xiaozhuang was also waiting for me to look up. "Li Zhi, can I tell you something? Do you have time to talk to me?"
"certainly."
I took out a piece of snowflake crisp from the drawer and handed it to Xiaozhuang.
Today’s card-drawing snack is the beautiful snowflake crisps, which contain those crispy, sour and sweet freeze-dried strawberries, which are both sour and sweet.
Xiaozhuang was very happy, "Thank you!"
"You're welcome."
Actually, I want to eat it too.
However, as soon as I took a bite, Xiao Zhuang's voice fell, "Don't you think that Fu Lin and Shang Hexing are both weird?"
As soon as I finished saying this, I choked on the baking milk powder on the snowflake crisps.
"Is there?"
Xiao Zhuang nodded quickly, "It's obvious! Don't you find them strange?"
…
How should I respond to this?
I have completely suppressed this part of my suspicion and vigilance, so that no matter what they are doing, I don't pay any special attention to it.
However, I can't help but speak. I asked, "What do you mean?"
"When the four of us were having dinner together before, He Qisi thought Fu Lin was a little strange. At that time, Li Zhi, you didn't think there was anything strange about him, so we didn't investigate further. But after the Peace Train Incident, didn't Shang Hexing come back? When we compared the two, we couldn't help but think it was too strange."
Xiaozhuang's voice was so soft and gentle that even his questioning voice made people feel like they were lying on a woolen quilt. But every word she said was too shocking.
I chewed snowflake cookies to replace the words I couldn't express in time.
But I chewed for more than ten seconds, and Xiaozhuang looked at me in silence for several dozen seconds.
I was forced to speak, "The 'we' you're talking about refers to the seven of you? ”
"Yeah." Xiaozhuang said seriously.
I really wish the flakes would stick to my mouth so I wouldn't be physically able to respond to this.
If this is really a comic or a novel, it should be known by only a very small number of people. Now that so many people have guessed that there is something wrong between Fu Lin and Shang Hexing, whose failure is this?
If I continued to act dumb, I would seem too contrived and out of place.
"I do feel like they seem to have changed a bit... For example, Fu Lin has become a little quieter than before, and Shang Hexing seems to be less withdrawn than before."
But I don’t want them to think too much.
The body-swapping protagonists in those comics have not been explored in depth for too long, and this is definitely inseparable from the mediation and efforts of people like me.
"However, they always have a purpose for doing this. I am willing to believe them and believe that they will tell us the truth one day. If this is our misunderstanding, doubting them without authorization will hurt them."
After I finished speaking calmly, I thought about whether what I said was comprehensive enough.
In fact, logical completeness is not required.
When facing emotional problems, sometimes you can just defeat emotions with emotions.
"Don't you believe them?" I asked doubtfully.
Xiao Zhuang was silent for a moment because of what I said, and soon he smiled and said, "As long as Li Zhi says there is no problem, of course there is no problem. Even if I don't believe them, I can't help but believe you!"
look!
This is the advantage of having enough prestige on a regular basis.
I was just feeling smug when my cell phone rang. It was the person we had just talked about, one of the protagonists - Fu Lin, the brand dealer He Xing.
Yesterday, when they were investigating the scene along the way, they accidentally fell into the river and almost had to be sent to the hospital for examination.
I heard about this because Xiaobai and I stayed at home eating fruit.
However, they were not seriously injured, so I didn't take it seriously. I just didn't expect him to call me so early. Logically speaking, if they wanted to know information about the case, they would come back to Xiaozhuang regularly.
I hesitated for a long time and thought about not answering the phone, but then I felt it was unreasonable, so I still spoke.
The other party’s first sentence made me feel very strange.
He said, Li Zhi, I won’t disturb you, right?
Shang Hexing's voice was not so gentle and kind.
I couldn't help but feel my heart sink at the tone of his voice, and I felt like I had seen something I shouldn't know.
Shang Hexing is even more pretentious than before. Is this the sense of crisis that Fu Lin brought him?
I feel like he has bad intentions.
I felt something was wrong, but I endured it for a moment, "I'm a little busy, can I call you back later?"
"………OK."
