Chapter 137 Murder in Sleep: Amnesia?

In the autopsy room.

The cement covering the body has been almost completely cleaned. The body is in a bent position, with the legs curled up at the abdomen. The body is covered with a layer of white crystals.

The deceased has no clothes on, nor any items that can prove his identity.

"This is sodium chloride, which is salt. From the analysis of the ingredients, it should be the coarse salt used for pickling pickles." Mu Mian explained, "The murderer sprinkled a lot of salt on the surface of the body."

Chen Xue said: "No wonder the body is in a state of mummy."

Mu Mian cut open the chest of the deceased and exposed his internal organs. To their surprise, the deceased's internal organs were in a semi-rotten state. It stands to reason that even if the surface of the corpse is preserved, the liquid in the internal dirt is corrosive in itself, such as gastric acid and intestinal fluid. After death, the human body will undergo autolysis.

Mu Mian soon found out why. There was an oily substance in the stomach of the corpse. The chest cavity of the deceased was also covered with a layer of oil film. The murderer poured oil into the interior of the corpse, soaked the internal dirt with oil, and slowed down the autolysis of the corpse.

Mu Mian used a cotton swab to extract the substance on it.

"Chen Xue, take this for testing." Mu Mian handed the test tube with the cotton swab to Chen Xue.

Chen Xue looked at the notebook in her hand and did not respond.

"Chen Xue?"

"Sorry, I was distracted, Mian Mian, what do you want me to do?" Chen Xue came back to her senses and said to Mu Mian.

"Chen Xue, do you want to take a leave and go home to rest? You look very tired." Mu Mian said with concern, "In your condition, I dare not give you the job."

"...Okay, I'll take a leave and go home."

"What's wrong with you?" Mu Mian cut off a piece of cartilage from the deceased, and will use it to detect the DNA of the deceased later.

"Mian Mian, I regret being a forensic doctor now."

Mu Mian looked at Chen Xue in shock, and asked in disbelief: "Why? Forensic doctor is such a good profession, you can come into contact with so many corpses, and you actually regret it? I also regret not choosing to be a forensic doctor earlier."

"Mian Mian, other people don't think so. They think it's unlucky to deal with corpses every day."

"Why do they think it's important?" Mu Mian cut open the dead man's dry thigh, revealing the leg bones inside.

"What if they are Xiao Zhang's relatives? Xiao Zhang's mother said that the profession of forensic medicine is too unlucky. Dealing with corpses all day will affect the feng shui of their family. They said that if I want to be with Xiao Zhang, I must quit my job."

Mu Mian ran to the toolbox. After struggling for a while, she finally chose an electric saw. She held up the electric saw and suggested: "Then you don't have to be with Xiao Zhang, so you can continue to be a forensic doctor. Although Officer Xiao Zhang is a good person, Sister Xiao Wen said that there are many good men in the world, and you can find better ones."

"Mian Mian, I like him very much."

"How can he compare with the job?" Mu Mian said puzzledly, "Forensic medicine is such a good profession, you can't give up."

"If you have to choose between your job and the team, what would you choose?" Chen Xue asked.

"But I don't need to make a choice. If I didn't have this job, I wouldn't have met Fang Rui." Mu Mian started the electric saw and sawed off a bone of the deceased, including the joint, to detect the bone age. The body was too heavy and inconvenient to move, so he just sawed the bones first.

The approximate age of the deceased can be inferred through the bone age. This will make it easier to identify the identity of this unknown male corpse.

"Mianmian, actually I don't really want to be a forensic scientist. I want to be a doctor. When I filled out the application form, I chose all the majors related to medicine. The last major was forensic science. I filled it out casually, but I didn't expect that, unfortunately, I was transferred to that major. At that time, I didn't have the courage to repeat my studies, so I had to bite the bullet and study this major." Chen Xue began to speak out her thoughts, "So, I don't like this job very much, it's just a job." "

Okay. Then why do you have to be entangled? You should just choose Officer Zhang first." Mu Mian said, "People should do what they like to do."

Mu Mian's words suddenly woke Chen Xue up. Which one is more important, love or career? Of course, her career!

Chen Xue suddenly made a firm choice, "Mianmian, I've thought it through, I still choose work. I want to break up with Xiao Zhang!"

Mu Mian felt that Chen Xue was very fickle, she couldn't understand what Chen Xue was thinking, "But you don't like being a forensic doctor, you like Officer Xiao Zhang."

"Few people like to like their jobs. But even if I want to resign, I should do it for myself, not for others."

"Is there no third option? You can let Xiao Zhang's mother like the career of forensic doctor." Mu Mian suggested.

"This is impossible!"

"Okay."

Fang Rui invited Zhang Mingli back to the inquiry room again.

"Ms. Zhang, we did find a body in that house." Fang Rui said while observing Zhang Mingli's expression.

"Is there really a corpse..." Zhang Mingli covered her mouth, crying and laughing, "I really killed someone! That was not an illusion, it was real! Great, great, I'm not crazy, I'm a normal person."

Zhang Mingli has lived in an inexplicable fear since she was a child. She was afraid that she would become a lunatic like her mother, so when it was all an illusion, she completely collapsed. She would rather become a murderer than become a lunatic and be locked up in a mental hospital.

Xiao Zhang was stunned. It was the first time he saw someone who wanted to kill someone so much!

"But the deceased died more than ten years ago." Fang Rui reminded.

"Died more than ten years ago? Impossible! He was pushed down by me last week. I remember it very clearly." Zhang Mingli fell into panic again.

"Do you remember why you pushed him down the stairs?"

"Why... I don't know. My head hurts so much, I can't remember!" Zhang Mingli covered her head, her expression was painful, "Yes, why did you push him?"

"Ms. Zhang, calm down first! Don't think about this problem anymore. Come, drink a glass of water first." Xiao Zhang poured a glass of water for Zhang Mingli and soothed her emotions.

Fang Rui also changed his strategy. After Zhang Mingli calmed down, he asked, "Ms. Zhang, do you remember where your father went?"

"My uncle said that my father saw my mother went crazy, so he ran away with another woman and took away all the family property. I don't know where he went. He never came back to see us in all these years."

"Your uncle said? Don't you remember anything about your childhood?"
