Chapter 10 Cat-Fetus Case: New Clues

In the autopsy room.

Forensic doctor Qin had already placed the body on the autopsy table and was about to start examining the body's surface features when he felt a burning gaze.

He turned his head and saw Mu Mian looking at him with a pair of sparkling eyes. He

suddenly stopped and said to Mu Mian: "Xiao Mu, this body is for you to examine. Xiao Xue, you will be her assistant and help her."

Chen Xue, who was interning at the same time, changed her expression slightly, but still replied: "Okay."

Mu Mian first examined the body's surface features. There were many abrasions on the deceased's body. Mu Mian took photos and recorded them one by one, and measured the length of the wounds with a ruler.

At first, Qin was still amazed that Mu Mian was so meticulous and careful at such a young age. However, when Mu Mian spent half an hour examining the insignificant wounds on the body, he felt that Mu Mian was too serious.

"Xiao Mu, the purpose of dissecting corpses is to find out the cause of death. There is no need to record those unimportant wounds in such detail."

"But every wound may be related to the cause of death." Mu Mian answered seriously, "If you don't check them one by one, you may overlook important details."

Qin was unable to refute Mu Mian, especially when he met Mu Mian's serious eyes.

But what does the frostbite scar on the victim's leg have to do with the cause of death? Is it necessary to remember its size in such detail?

When it came to the formal autopsy, Mu Mian's speed increased. She skillfully opened the victim's abdominal cavity. There were many scratches inside, but it was not as bloody as the previous victim.

Mu Mian checked the organs in the victim's body and took samples.

The rest was to wait for the toxicology test report.

However, Mu Mian and Qin, a forensic doctor, were able to determine that the cause of death of this victim should be the same as the first victim.

After examining the second victim's body, Mu Mian asked, "Forensic Doctor Qin, can you also dissect Kitten No. 2?"

"Kitten No. 2, you mean the cat found at the crime scene today. There's no need to waste time dissecting it. We already know that the cat died of suffocation. It should be that the cat didn't pass smoothly through the birth canal, and the head was squeezed, causing suffocation."

Mu Mian still insisted, "I promise to finish it quickly."

Forensic Doctor Qin thought it was a good thing that young people were willing to do more work, so he said, "Then you continue, I'll go back to write the report first."

Chen Xue saw that Forensic Doctor Qin had left, and tactfully asked Mu Mian if there was anything else he needed help with.

Mu Mian shook his head, and Chen Xue followed him away.

Before leaving, she saw Mu Mian was dissecting the kitten with great interest, with a light in her eyes, completely different from her usual decadent state.

What a strange person.

Chen Xue couldn't help shaking her head. Although Mu Mian's dissection skills were very skilled and her work was very meticulous, she was suitable for research rather than being a forensic doctor. Mu Mian was too entangled in unnecessary details.

When Mu Mian finished the dissection and restored and sewed the body of the kitten back together, she suddenly felt very hungry. She looked at the clock on the wall and it was already past one o'clock.

She hurried to the cafeteria to eat, but as expected, the cafeteria aunt had already taken away the food.

Mu Mian was dumbfounded. She was very hungry and she needed to eat, but her social guide did not tell her how to deal with this situation.

"Doctor Mu, why haven't you left yet after dinner?"

Mu Mian saw Xiao Zhang and Fang Rui coming over, and Xiao Zhang greeted her.

Fang Rui glanced at her, then turned his head away in disgust. He couldn't understand why Mu Mian was in a daze anytime and anywhere?

Mu Mian didn't say anything. She didn't eat on time, which made her anxious and uneasy. She didn't have the energy to engage in social behavior now.

Xiao Zhang walked to the cafeteria window, and before he could say anything, the auntie who was cleaning inside handed him a few lunch boxes with a gentle smile on her face.

"Xiao Zhang, luckily you told me in WeChat in advance that I would save some food for you, otherwise you wouldn't be able to eat the braised pork today."

"That's right, luckily I was smart, otherwise I would have to eat takeout at noon today."

"That little girl didn't seem to have eaten either. You and Team Leader probably can't finish so much, why don't you give some to her?"

Xiao Zhang looked at Mu Mian with sudden realization: "Forensic Doctor Mu, it turns out you didn't eat. Come on, let's eat together, it's a good opportunity for us to discuss the case."

Mu Mian wanted to refuse, because she had never eaten with anyone except her family. But her rumbling stomach made the decision for her.

"Forensic Doctor Mu, you don't have any dietary restrictions, right?"

Xiao Zhang opened the lunch boxes one by one, intending to share a few pieces of the delicious braised pork with Mu Mian to show his friendship to his new colleague.

"I'm not picky about food."

Mu Mian pointed at the food in the lunch box, "I just don't eat this kind of sticky fat, I don't eat diced carrots, and I don't eat cooked cucumbers."

Xiao Zhang looked embarrassed: "Well, then there's nothing you can eat."

What a troublemaker! Fang Rui didn't get used to her, he served a bowl of white rice, poured a few spoonfuls of braised pork soup into the rice, and handed it to Mu Mian, "Eat it!"

Mu Mian didn't say anything, he just took the rice and ate it silently.

Xiao Zhang was stunned, so Mu Mian just liked to eat rice

. Halfway through the meal, Xiao Zhang couldn't stop talking, "Doctor Mu, did you find anything from the autopsy?"

Mu Mian put down his chopsticks and said seriously, "The murderer should be a doctor with clinical experience, and he may have been one. And he likes cats very much."

Xiao Zhang exclaimed, "How do you know he is a doctor?"

"How do you prove that he likes cats?" Fang Rui also suspected that the murderer was a doctor. Although the murderer's dissection skills were poor, he was able to put a cat into the victim's uterus, proving that he at least had contact with medicine. So he was more interested in Mu Mian's second conclusion.

"Do you want to know the answer?" Mu Mian looked at Fang Rui with excitement in her eyes, "As long as you promise me one thing, I will share it with you now."

"I can't donate my body to you!"

The light in Mu Mian's eyes was extinguished instantly, and the rice in the bowl was no longer fragrant.

She took out her mobile phone and showed the photos inside to Fang Rui, "Can these prove it?"
