"It's okay. [Read the latest chapter] []Remember this site in one second.)" Zhong Lizhi saw his adopted daughter kneeling on the ground crying so hard that she couldn't help but feel soft, "Wouldn't it be worse to let the murderer escape? Do you want to avenge Westley and catch the real murderer?"
Zhong Xiaoying nodded: "My daughter is willing."
"Are you afraid of death?"
Zhong Xiaoying hesitated and said, "My daughter is afraid, but she can make herself not afraid."
"Okay, then you can help me pack my things and go get box No. 14."
Zhong Lishi packed up his things and took Zhong Xiaoying out of the customs building. Because Westley's murder has been classified as a "political murder by hostile forces," the security level in Kaohsiung has been raised, and security guard posts have been posted at the door. A carriage has stopped at the door to pick up Zhong Lishi and his daughter.
The Kaohsiung Health Center responsible for the autopsy is a level three clinic according to the standards of the Ministry of Health - it is staffed by veteran doctors. But this veteran doctor is very cool: Renn's job is to prevent epidemics. However, it is an indisputable fact that where there are veteran doctors, the configuration of medicines and equipment will be higher.
The Kaohsiung Health Center is also a prefabricated wooden structure building. Quite a scale. What's more interesting is that its foundation is built with stones. There is a basement underneath the house.
A nurse opened the door to the basement. A deep slope leading to nowhere appeared in front of Zhong Lishi. Zhong Lishi carefully carried a leather bag and walked forward with the nurse, while Zhong Xiaoying followed him carrying a large wooden box and a wooden shelf.
Reaching the end of the passage, the nurse opened the door. Inside is a large brick vaulted cellar. Strictly speaking, this is a semi-basement. There are windows on the wall near the vault, and light can be cast from above. To prevent intruders from peeking into the basement. There is a leaf cover covered with iron gauze outside, and it is strictly forbidden to enter or get close to it.
There are electric lights on in the cellar - the health center is one of the very few places in Kaohsiung City that has its own wind turbine. It was very cold inside, with a pungent smell of disinfectant. Dr. Zhong shuddered as he walked in.
In the middle of the cellar is an autopsy table. There was a dead body on the table. Along the wall are a row of cabinets for storing miscellaneous items. There are also some large and small glass jars containing specimens. Ren En and Xu Xu were already waiting inside. Seeing Zhong Lishi's arrival, they hurriedly stepped forward to greet him: "Dr. Zhong, have you brought your things?"
Zhong Lishi pointed at Zhong Xiaoying, who was sweating profusely from exhaustion, and said, "I brought it here, that's the thing... Xiaoying, put it on!"
Zhong Xiaoying flinched when she saw the corpse, but she still tried to calm herself down. Put the wooden frame on the ground, and then install the wooden box on the wooden frame. An accordion-shaped leather bag full of wrinkles was pulled out from one end of the box. The lens is mounted on a copper frame at one end of the bag. Zhong Xiaoying put another black velvet cover behind the box and said to Zhong Lishi: "It's packed..."
Zhong Lishi pointed to the high-rise thing and said to them: "This is the camera I am studying recently. This is an engineering prototype."
Then several people were busy adjusting the shelf so that the camera could take a bird's-eye view of the corpse on the autopsy table.
The corpse's face was peaceful and seemed to be smiling, which looked very strange under the light. Zhong Xiaoying mustered up the courage to step forward, take a look, and said to Zhong Lishi, "This is the assassin I killed."
Ren smiled at Zhong Xiaoying, pointed at the body and said, "You didn't hit him at all."
"What?"
"You said you fired a shot and the murderer sank, so my uncle thought you were the one who shot him." Renn shook his head and said, "But there were no gunshot wounds on his body, not even scratches. --"
"So it wasn't me who killed him?" Zhong Xiaoying asked.
Dr. Zhong smiled and said, "Now you have no psychological shadow." Seeing the relaxed look on his adopted daughter's face, he felt a lot more comforted. He directed Zhong Xiaoying to get busy first.
Zhong Lishi set up a white cloth screen behind the camera and tried the angle of the light to illuminate the face of the corpse as much as possible.
Zhong Xiaoying shook her head: "Light is still not strong enough..."
"The shutter needs to be adjusted to one second..."
Zhong Lishi got into the black cloth cover behind the camera and adjusted the focus so that the image was clearly reflected in front of a piece of white paper on the film holder. Then, he closed the shutter and said to Zhong Xiaoying: "Bring the film..."
Zhong Xiaoying quickly took out a piece of glass wrapped in black paper from the black cloth pocket in her purse. Zhong Lishi groped inside the black cloth cover and removed the black paper from the glass piece, installed the glass piece on the film holder, and then pressed the shutter. Zhong Lishi carefully put the piece of glass into the black cloth pocket, and then got out of the black cloth cover behind the camera.
"Okay, I'll go back and rinse it out."
"Can we start?" Ren asked.
"Okay. I'll take another picture after you finish checking."
Renn took out the mask: "Everyone, please put on the mask first." He took out the autopsy form: "Xiao Xu, you are from Qian Public Security Bureau, you should understand this..."
"Okay, you tell me to fill it in." Li Li took it.
Ren leaned over and looked at the corpse. Although he majored in epidemic prevention, he also graduated from a medical school and was no stranger to anatomy.
"The deceased was a man, aged between thirty and thirty-five years old. He had normal growth, good nutrition, and a strong build." Ren said while observing the appearance of the corpse, "The muscles are loose." He then opened his eyelids, He said: "The pupils are round, with a diameter of o3 centimeters." He then pried open the already stiff jaw and observed the teeth.
The deceased had dark skin and thick hands and feet. He was obviously a working man who had been through hardships and hardships.
"He is a sailor or a boatman." Ren looked at his hands and feet. "His palms have calluses formed by pulling ropes for a long time. There are thick calluses on the soles of his feet, and his toes are bent - these are the marks of using his toes to scratch the deck with bare feet for a long time."
There were many scars on the body of the deceased, most of which were injuries caused by sharp objects. Obviously this is a very aggressive person.
Ren observed the corpse carefully, and suddenly he shouted: "The cause of death has been found!"
He picked up the tweezers and pulled out a thin wooden skewer, only as long as a toothpick, from under the corpse's elbow.
Xu Xu and Dr. Zhong immediately got together.
"Blow dart." Ren said proudly, "The cause of death was curare poison." He looked at the blow dart carefully, "I just thought the expression of the deceased was very strange, no wonder!"
Dr. Zhong knows that there are many kinds of curare, but the basic cause of death is muscle relaxants, which work quickly.
Although the cause of death had been found, out of caution, Lane still performed an autopsy on the body. Dr. Zhong and his daughter reluctantly persisted until they finished watching the disembowelment and then bowed out with gratitude, leaving only Xu Xu and Renn to complete the whole process.
The autopsy revealed nothing new. Wren sewed up the incision. The two men walked out of the basement, and Renn took Qianqian to his office on the second floor of the health center. He took out a box of cigars, and several men started smoking one after another.
"This person is a boatman," Xu Xu said. "The unique shape of his toes and the thick skin on the soles of his feet are all characteristics of the boat people."
There are many sailors from rural areas in the navy, and their physical appearance may be very familiar.
But Ren shook his head: "If he was born in Danhu, his physical condition is a bit too good." He pointed to the autopsy report, "The teeth of this person are not much worn. It is obvious that the food he eats is of good quality. . And he is obviously not malnourished."
"It wouldn't be surprising if he was a basic member of the pirates - such as a small boss or a confidant of the 'shopkeeper'." Quan Qian had done a lot of research on the organization of the pirate gang, "and there are also the characteristics of him. Scar should be a desperado.”
"So the murderer is a pirate." Dr. Zhong interjected.
"It's very likely." Xu Xu nodded, "Probably he was ordered or bribed by someone like Lai Qian. I didn't expect that he was silenced!"
"Then the other murderer is still in Kaohsiung!" Zhong Lishi stood up and said excitedly.
As soon as the incident occurred, the docks and city gates were all closed, and no one was allowed in or out. Whoever the murderer is, he should still be stranded in Kaohsiung.
"Of course. Otherwise, why do you need a second uniform? It means there are at least two murderers." Xu Xu said, "The other party may have a back-up plan."
After being allowed to return to his office, he took the autopsy report and began to use a sketch on the white paper to reconstruct the scene when the murderer was killed by a blowgun.
The arrow appeared behind his left elbow. The arrow entered his body diagonally toward 1 o'clock, with the angle of entry pointing downwards. It shows that the arrow entered the upper left rear side of the murderer.
As for the distance, the effective range of the blowgun is only ten meters at most. Therefore, the person who shot the arrow at that time must have been sitting on a small boat not far from the murderer.
Due to the timely closure of the port, all ships at that time were still stranded in the port. So the second murderer is still in the port!
At this time, Youru delivered an evidence box containing all the items found on the deceased. Wear gloves and use a magnifying glass to look at each item carefully.
While he was looking carefully, Dr. Zhong suddenly came.
"How's it going? Do you have any clues?"
"One thing." Xu Jue felt that Zhong Lishi was particularly enthusiastic about this case. After thinking about it, he realized: Zhong Xiaoying was deeply involved in this case - Dr. Zhong was very passionate about licking the case and was eager to clear Xiaoying.
There weren't many things in the box: a few circulation coupons, some scattered silver and copper coins, and a bunch of military passes. The circulation certificate and military admission certificate should have been obtained from Zhang Qianniu. Just like the dagger that stabbed Westley to death was also obtained from Zhang Qianniu.
The only thing of any value is a domino.
The dominoes were very ordinary, but Xu knew it was Pai Gow: made of bamboo and ox bones, it was very delicate. Li Xu knew that gambling was strictly prohibited in the Navy, and Zhang Qianniu's disciplinary actions had never involved gambling. Therefore, this card must be the personal belongings of the murdered murderer.
