Chapter 1495 SOS
Accompanied by Qing Ning and Zhou Mo, and protected by Zhang Hai and Sun Lin, Yu Zhiming met with the visiting coroner from the South Peninsula in a soundproof office.
Cui Junze, who is in his early sixties and looks energetic, did not come alone. He brought a male assistant who is about thirty years old.
After meeting and getting to know each other, both sides started the greeting process.
From the greetings, Yu Zhiming learned that Coroner Cui had not been to China for nearly ten years and lamented the great changes and rapid development in China.
Yu Zhiming chatted perfunctorily for a while and was about to urge the other party to get to the point of the conversation. He didn't have time to chat with the other party about such meaningless topics, but he saw that the other party took out a family photo from his wallet with a happy face to share.
this……
Yu Zhiming resisted the urge to roll his eyes and looked at the other party's family photo to save face.
The family consists of four people, including my wife, daughter, and a son who is currently attending college.
Yu Zhiming took a special look at his daughter in the photo and found that she was the same person in the photo provided by the relevant department.
"Your wife looks blessed, your daughter is beautiful and capable, your son is handsome and intelligent, and Mr. Cui is successful in his career. You are an enviable and happy family."
Yu Zhiming praised him politely in English and asked, "Mr. Cui, it's a rare opportunity for you to come to our country. Why don't you bring your family along for a visit?"
Cui Junze sighed with regret, "I wanted to, too. It's just that my decision to come to your country for medical exchange was a bit hasty, and they each had their own things to do, so they couldn't come with me."
“I hope it will happen next time.”
Yu Zhiming waited for the other party to finish speaking, then he couldn't help but urge him, "Mr. Cui, I specially set aside two hours for today's discussion."
Cui Junze quickly criticized himself and said, "It's my fault. Seeing Dr. Yu's friendly face, I couldn't help but nag a little more, wasting your precious time."
He sat up straighter and said, "Back home, I've often heard that Dr. Yu has a great ability to see through tiny details, and my job is to perform autopsies."
"In my career, I've come across quite a few cases where deaths were disguised as accidents."
As he spoke, Cui Junze took out a tablet from his briefcase and opened it, saying, "I'd like to ask Dr. Yu if I can tell you how to determine the murderer's method of killing based on seemingly normal injuries on the deceased's body?"
This question instantly aroused Yu Zhiming's strong interest.
"Mr. Cui, this isn't my specialty, and I don't have any experience with autopsies. However, we can discuss this."
Cui Junze smiled lightly and opened a document on his tablet.
"Doctor Yu, this is a case I took over three years ago. It was a traffic accident where a car hit a tree."
"The woman sitting in the passenger seat died and the male driver was injured. Later investigations confirmed that the man had killed the woman and then deliberately caused the traffic accident."
After a pause, Cui Junze sighed again and said, "To be honest, Doctor Yu, I didn't find anything abnormal during my first autopsy. It was only after an eyewitness reported the case that the case was uncovered."
"Doctor Yu, based solely on the autopsy findings of this woman's injuries, can you determine how she was killed?"
Yu Zhiming was looking through the autopsy photos on the computer. After a while, he heard a series of "uh uh" retching sounds.
He looked at Qing Ning and Zhou Mo, who were covering their mouths with pale faces, and said, "Curiosity killed the cat, and that's what I mean when I say that. You two, don't look at things you shouldn't look at."
"Go aside first!"
After Qing Ning and Zhou Mo left, Yu Zhiming once again focused on the autopsy photos on the tablet, and simulated the causes of various scars in his mind...
In two hours, Yu Zhiming enthusiastically discussed three sophisticated murder cases with Cui Junze.
Yu Zhiming was still not satisfied, but he also knew that this was not his main job. As soon as the time was up, he told the other party that he had other work arrangements later.
Cui Junze said with emotion: "Doctor Yu, your medical talent has exceeded my previous expectations. You are truly worthy of the title of genius."
"I'm both sorry and glad that you didn't become a forensic doctor. Your medical talent should be used to treat and save lives."
The next moment, Cui Junze pleaded, "Doctor Yu, I have a difficult case on my hands. Could you please give me some advice?"
"Oh, what case?" Yu Zhiming, whose curiosity was aroused, did not refuse.
Cui Junze said: "It was a suicide case. The deceased recorded a farewell video and then committed suicide."
"I know you're extremely sensitive to sound, Dr. Yu. I'd like you to identify whether there's a second person hiding behind the camera in this farewell video."
This case is a bit boring...
Yu Zhiming didn't want to accept the call, but when he saw Cui Junze looking at him almost pleadingly, he agreed.
Cui Junze was overjoyed and transferred a video file on his tablet to Zhou Mo's tablet.
After transferring the data, Cui Junze said goodbye at the right time.
He held Yu Zhiming's hand tightly and said sincerely, "Meeting is better than hearing about your reputation. Doctor Yu, I admire your talent immensely. I'll leave the suicide video in your care, Doctor Yu. I look forward to your response."
After Cui Junze and his assistant left, Yu Zhiming returned to the soundproof office and said impatiently, "Playing that suicide video might be a scam."
Hearing this, Qing Ning, Zhou Mo, Zhang Hai and Sun Lin all looked at Yu Zhiming with curiosity.
"What's the trick?" Qing Ning asked directly!
Yu Zhiming explained: "Cui Junze shook hands with me and said goodbye. When he mentioned the suicide video, he suddenly exerted force on his hand three times, with a regular rhythm of short and long beats. This should be a shortened version of the Morse code SOS for help."
After hearing this, Zhou Mo quickly connected his tablet to the audio and video system in the soundproof office, clicked on the suicide video and started playing it.
On the high-definition screen in the office, a man in his forties was kneeling in front of the camera, speaking with a choked voice in a language that Yu Zhiming and others could not understand.
"Can you please get a translator?"
Yu Zhiming shook his head and said, "Whatever Cui Junze wants to convey, he will definitely not say it through this person's mouth."
"It should be hidden somewhere else."
The video was thirty-four minutes long. Yu Zhiming listened to it carefully but found nothing.
Thinking of what Cui Junze said about trying to identify if there was a second person in the video, Yu Zhiming said, "All of you go out. I need to listen to it again without being disturbed."
Zhang Hai suggested, "Whether the other party is truly seeking help or has ulterior motives is still uncertain. Why not hand this video over to the higher-ups and let them analyze it through technical means?"
Yu Zhiming pondered and said, "This is a video Cui Junze prepared for me. He must have hidden information based on my characteristics. It may not be possible to analyze it through technical means."
He decided, "Linger will stay here, just in case. You all should leave first."
After Zhou Mo, Zhang Hai and Sun Lin left the office, Qing Ning also went to the corner of the office at Yu Zhiming's request.
Then, the lights in the office were turned off, leaving only a night light that emitted a faint glow like a firefly.
If Yu Zhiming hadn't been worried that Qingning would be scared of being trapped in absolute darkness, he wouldn't have turned on the night light.
Yu Zhiming stood in the middle of the office, adjusting his breathing and heartbeat. Once they had stabilized, he pressed the switch on the remote control and began playing the audio from the suicide video...
Amidst the many sounds echoing in the office, Yu Zhiming automatically ignored the incomprehensible "smecta" and Qing Ning's familiar heartbeat and breathing, and tried hard to catch other small sounds...
After a while, a thumping heartbeat that seemed to be floating in the clouds caught Yu Zhiming's attention.
This somewhat ethereal heartbeat sound continued, but it was not as regular as a normal person's heartbeat.
It's sometimes long, sometimes short, like Morse code.
In fact, Yu Zhiming didn’t know much about Morse code, he just knew SOS, which stands for emergency help.
But he could write it down and ask someone else to translate it...
