"Brother Zheng." Liu Zi had cold sweat on his forehead, clutching the steering wheel and looking at me nervously.

I scolded him for being useless. In fact, Liuzi couldn't be blamed for this. He hadn't calmed down yet after saying that weird thing just now. Now that he heard a weird sound again, he would definitely be scared.

Fortunately, there weren't many cars on the driveway in the middle of the night, otherwise Liuzi would have to rear-end him if he braked suddenly.

I took out a strong flashlight from the car, then lit a cigarette and put it in my mouth, and asked Liuzi to get out of the car and accompany me to the back to see what was going on.

Liuzi was a little hesitant, probably feeling scared, but at my urging, he gritted his teeth and got out of the car and followed me closely.

Would he dare to let him stay alone in the car? Of course he wouldn't dare. I wasn't afraid at first, but when I was infected by Liuzi, I couldn't help but feel a little numb in my heart.

Liu Zi and I worked together to open the iron bolt of the trunk compartment. I looked inside with a flashlight and found that the corpse cabinet where the host's body and fragments were stored was intact, with no sign of being tampered with at all.

"Meow!"

At this time, there was a sudden meow above us, and then I saw a black cat swishing across our heads under the illumination of the street light, and quickly ran into the lawn next to it. In the blink of an eye,

It disappeared without a trace.

Compared with the ghosts Liuzi said, this cat that suddenly jumped out is scarier!

I guessed that the black cat fell on the carriage. The carriage was covered with iron sheets, so the noise was very loud!

There are no ghosts in the world, but if you have to be made nervous by Liuzi, you can scare yourself to death by pulling a corpse this late at night!

However, thinking about the many rumors in rural areas about the corpse deceiving itself after a cat jumped on it, I couldn't help but look at the corpse, but fortunately, the corpse did not stand up like the rumors.

After Liuzi was sure that nothing was wrong, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, closed the car door behind him and cursed the black cat a few times.

The two of us got back into the car, and I urged Liu Zi to drive quickly. This case was not a small one, and the authorities must have a tight grip on it. It would be better for everyone if the case was solved as soon as possible.

Liuzi nodded and started the car again and drove towards the police station.

When we arrived at the police station, it was already past two o'clock in the morning and almost three o'clock in the morning. The two of us carried the host's body to the forensic identification department and prepared to do an autopsy on the host's body.

Every profession has its own rules. Forensic medicine seems to be a rather biased profession, but in fact there are quite a few rules. For example, you cannot talk about the word "dead" in front of a corpse, and forensic doctors must change clothes and wash hands before doing autopsy, etc.

.

The dead are the most important, this is the simplest respect!

Liuzi and I changed into brand new anatomy clothes, washed our hands and went directly into the No. 3 dissecting room.

I placed the host's corpse on the No. 1 dissecting table, and Liuzi placed the body parts on the No. 2 dissecting table next to it.

The task was relatively heavy, so I asked Liuzi to help complete the autopsy report with me. I performed an autopsy on the host and asked Liuzi to write it down step by step.

Performing an autopsy is the real test of whether a forensic doctor is qualified. The title of a forensic doctor who "speaks for the dead" does not come out of thin air.

Because forensic doctors can always extract important crime-solving information from the deceased, the forensic department has now become an indispensable branch of the police station.

Preliminary judgment and guessing suggests that the host was first murdered by the murderer and then dismembered. If we don't follow this line of thinking, the peaceful expression on the host's face will not be justified at all.

The most important thing in the autopsy is: the time of death of the deceased, the cause of death of the deceased, and secondly, combining these two situations and the clues on the deceased to determine who the murderer is and what the murderer's habits are.

I am currently unable to determine the cause of the host's death, so I can only start with the time of the host's death.

The deceased was the host. I clearly remember that the deceased hosted the news broadcast at around six o'clock in the evening on the 6th last night. In other words, the host's time at around six o'clock in the afternoon on the 6th was still normal, and the time of the news broadcast was

It must have been around eight o'clock in the evening when the host rushed home after finishing the news broadcast for about half an hour. Qin San, who discovered the deceased and called the police, did so in the early morning of the 7th.

Combining these two, it can be seen that the time of death of the deceased should be from 8 o'clock in the evening on the 6th to 12 o'clock in the morning on the 7th. The specific time of death still needs to be obtained from the deceased.

Within half an hour to two hours after death, the body begins to become stiff, which is what we often call rigor mortis.

The body will harden partially in two to nine hours, and the whole body will become stiff after nine hours.

The easiest way to judge the time of death is undoubtedly rigor mortis and cadaveric plaques.

The host's body began to become partially stiff, so it was judged that the host's time of death was between two hours and less than nine hours.

I looked through the host's physical examination to examine the cadaver spots scattered on the host's body. The cadaver spots on the host's body were dark red and gradually merged into large patches. There was a slight dispersion when pressed. Combined with the diagnosis of rigor mortis, the host's death

The time should be five or six hours ago!

The current time is around three o'clock in the morning, which means that the host's death time was probably around ten o'clock on the night of the 6th.

"Rigor mortis shows partial stiffness, and the corpse spots fade away slightly when pressed, and appear dark red, forming a large complexion." I whispered to Liu Zi beside me, and while talking, I opened the host's eyes with my hands.

The host's eyes were slightly cloudy, and his mouth further down showed signs of slight contraction. When mydriatic agent was dripped into his eyes, there was still some slight reaction at the corners of his eyes.

I clapped my hands and said decisively: "The host's death time was between five and six hours, that is, around ten o'clock in the evening on May 6th."

"What about the cause of death?" Liuzi recorded everything I said, glanced at the host's body and asked in confusion.

I pondered for a moment and said, "Get ready for the dissection!"

Liuzi responded and helped me take off the anatomy clothes, once again changed into a clean disposable anatomy suit, put on gloves and a mask, I picked up the scalpel handed over by Liuzi, and skillfully applied it to the host's body.

It started operating.

The expression on the host's face when he died has always been a puzzle to me. During the autopsy, I first took out the host's stomach and cut open the gastric membrane. I frowned and stared at the contents of the stomach.

According to the estimated time of death, the host's death time was between five and six hours. By this time, the contents of the deceased's stomach had already been cleared, but when I cut open the host's gastric membrane, he frowned and stretched out his hand.

Liuzi was very cooperative and put the tweezers in my hands. I took out the contents of the host's stomach with the tweezers and put them on the tray in Liuzi's hand. In addition, I also used a dropper to remove some of the contents of the host's stomach.

Also remove some of the unknown liquid from the beach and keep it for later identification.

After doing all this, I sewed up the host's stomach with ease, then slowly put it into the abdomen, and began to gradually check the other organs in the body. After confirming that there were no other problems, I simply removed the host's chest and abdomen.

The front incision was sutured.

"Zheng...Brother Zheng, this...what is this?"

Hearing Liuzi's voice, I put down the scalpel in my hand and turned around to take a look at what was in Liuzi's hand.

The yellow paper in Liuzi's hand was just taken out from the host's stomach. When Liuzi held it like this, I suddenly became curious and asked Liuzi to put the thing on the tray, and then started to reach out and try to splice it.

This yellow paper should be a small piece of paper. When I was piecing it together, I found that the paper had obvious signs of chewing. This thing was found in the host's stomach, so it must have been eaten by the host.

As for what it is, I have absolutely no idea.

"There is a word here!" Liu Zi suddenly shouted.

I heard the sound and went over, and sure enough, I clearly saw two red writings on the yellow paper, but...

"Brother Zheng, have you noticed that this piece of paper looks like the talisman drawn by the Taoist priest when catching ghosts in the movie?"

When Liu Zi said this, my eyes suddenly lit up. If I looked closely, it looked a bit like the ghost painting charms used by Taoist priests to catch ghosts in haunted houses.

"Don't think about it. It will be sent to the identification department for identification later. Let's finish the autopsy first." I patted Liuzi and asked him to move the body parts on the autopsy table next to him.

Liuzi responded and turned around, moving the body parts on the autopsy table next to him in front of the host's body.

I only had time to see what the corpse looked like now, but when I saw it, I had a strange look on my face.

There was no doubt that the body parts had been cut off by someone, but there were a few jagged cuts on the body parts, as if they had been cut with a small saw.

I asked Liuzi to find a measuring stick and measured it carefully. Then he opened his eyes wide and said in disbelief: "This... this is a mark of being bitten."

"What?" Liu Zi stared at the body parts in my hand and said with equal surprise: "Brother Zheng, are you saying that someone... chewed these body parts?"

"The curvature of the saw teeth is directly proportional to the curvature of human teeth. It has clearly been bitten by someone." I nodded my head and showed it to Liuzi with a measuring ruler while answering seriously.

Liuzi clicked his tongue and said in disbelief: "How much hatred does this murderer have against the host? He just killed people and cut their bodies into pieces, but in the end he even started chewing on the pieces of human corpses.

I shook my head and told Liuzi to prepare the record while I tried to piece together the host's body parts.

Although it looks like there are a lot of body parts, they are actually very easy to piece together.

The murderer probably didn't think that much when he cut the body into pieces, because the parts of the body that were cut into pieces were all the host's joints.

For example, the host's arms were cut off, and then one arm was divided into several sections, and then even the fingers on the palm were not let go...

While piecing the body pieces together, I counted silently in my mind.

On both hands, all ten fingers were chopped off by the murderer, that is, ten knives.

The toes are the same as above, both with ten swords.

The two arms of the host include the parts that were chopped off. One arm is three stabs, and two is six.

Both legs, two knives on the thighs, and three knives on the calves. The total is five knives, and the two legs are... ten knives.

Thirty-six knives!

I took a deep breath of cold air and shook my head slowly.

Thirty-six stabs, the host was cut into pieces by the murderer.

I sighed slowly, turned around and was about to ask Liu Zi if he had written it down, but found that Liu Zi was staring ahead in astonishment without saying a word.

"What's wrong?" I frowned and asked in confusion.

Liu Zi pointed his finger in front and shouted with twitching lips: "Brother Zheng... is the host's body... all in good condition?"

"It's done." Liuzi was a little confused, but I still took a look at the spliced ​​corpse and answered decisively.

"Then...then why is there a piece of human skin over there?" Liu Zi turned around and looked at a loss.

After listening to Liuzi's words, I was completely stunned on the spot, and turned my head stiffly to look at the location pointed by Liuzi.
Chapter completed!
