"Serve the Senate. [Read full text]" Su Wan stood at attention.
"Serve the Senate!" Chen Baibin followed suit and stood at attention, saying loudly with a serious expression.
"Service, service." Ren agreed perfunctorily, and then added: "To be honest, your timely arrival really helped me a lot. You know, I am actually a health and epidemic prevention worker..."
Su Wan understood what he meant. During the battle in Chengmai, she had seen him look ashen in front of a large number of corpses of the war dead that had already taken on the appearance of giants. She had seen him run from the processing site to the beach several times to "get some fresh air."
It is indeed a bit difficult to ask a health-prevention worker who used to work at a city epidemic prevention station to administer vaccinations, spray medicines, and do some publicity and education to do the work of dissecting corpses. What Su Wan admires is that regardless of his actual business level, he has taken on all the local autopsy work in Kaohsiung.
Although Renn also graduated from medical school and was no stranger to gross anatomy, it was in the dissecting room of the medical school. The corpses were from a regular source and had undergone basic treatment. What the forensic doctors faced were all grotesque corpses at the crime scene. Some have incomplete limbs, and some have high levels of insomnia. The stench at the scene alone is not something that ordinary people can tolerate.
"It's okay, let's get to work quickly." Su Wan said.
"Let Comrade Chen Baibin introduce the situation first."
"good."
Chen Baibin nodded. He was wearing casual clothes and was silent and seemed a little shy. Only then did he say: "This case was personally ordered to be investigated by the Executive Committee. To be honest, this time... it's a bit..." After about a moment and a half, he didn't know how to express it. He hesitated before continuing: "We want to Verify this person’s identity.”
"Hey, are we forensic doctors good at verifying identities?" Su Wan said happily, "The autopsy can mainly detect physiological problems such as cause of death, time of death, specific age, past medical history, etc. How can you check your social identity? Even in the 21st century, implantable identity chips have no intention of being promoted..."
Ren came out to explain: "It is to try to find out some of this person's physical characteristics so that they can infer his social attributes..."
"Is this person so important?" Su Wan was a little curious.
"That's right." Chen Baibin's face was a little frowning. "This person is an enemy of our Hangzhou station. He was just shot to death by our people a few days ago. However, this person's words, deeds, and thoughts in Hangzhou and other places have exceeded ours." Imagination..." He paused again. "He seems to be somewhat beyond this time and space——"
"Are you saying that this person may be a time traveler like Lando?" Su Wan asked.
"That's what we want to know."
"When you say that, I'm a little eager to give it a try. Where is the body?"
Ren pulled the bell rope on the wall next to the table, and a thick wooden door in the corner of the basement was pushed open. Two caregivers wearing white isolation gowns came out carrying a tightly wrapped stretcher. On the dissecting table with the stretcher set aside.
"This is a body that has just been transported from Hangzhou."
"How long have you been dead?"
"One week." Chen Baibin said with a frown. "The special investigation team attacked his stronghold and he shot himself before being arrested. According to our instructions, the Hangzhou Station immediately refrigerated his body and then immediately transferred it to Kaohsiung."
One week! Su Wan wondered what the body had become after floating on the sea for a week.
However, there was no stench of gunpowder in the air. Renn added: "This time it was specially packed with ice cubes to preserve it."
How generous! Su Wan's eyes fell on the tightly wrapped body bag. It seemed that the executive committee took this matter very seriously.
After she changed into the autopsy gown, Lane helped her put on gloves, tighten the belt and mask. He himself also changed into work clothes so that he could help if necessary.
He could see that Chen Baibin was not comfortable with this: "You can go next door and wait for the report to come out..."
"No, it's better for me to watch from the side." Chen Baibin mustered up his courage. He seems unwilling to appear to shrink in front of women.
The corpse had been moved to the autopsy table, and Ren Suwan took a breath of air after seeing it. The deceased's head was already shapeless - like a smashed tomato. All the facial features were gone. There were still black scorch marks from the gunpowder on the remaining skin. From her experience, it seemed that a huge bullet entered his mouth and directly shattered his head.
Su Wan rarely saw such a serious gunshot wound even in the old days. When gangsters in the county kill each other, the most powerful weapons they use are five-shot shotguns and Hualong pistols. I have never seen such a terrifying and deadly catchy one. This bullet is incredibly large...
"What was this?" Su Wan asked with a frown.
"A pistol. The caliber is 20mm." Chen Baibin breathed evenly. Reluctantly facing this horrific corpse.
Su Wan shook her head: she carefully inspected the remaining head and torso of the corpse, and then looked at the hands, feet and joints - judging from the degree of stiffness and body spots, the preservation of the corpse was acceptable, and it should be possible to examine many details.
She opened the anatomy tool box, took out her "eighteen weapons", moved her hands skillfully, and narrated while inspecting:
"...Yeah. The deceased was a male, yellow race, about 25 years old, about 1.555 meters tall before death, with good nutrition and neat teeth. He was in good health. He had no hidden diseases."
"that's it?"
"Absolutely. I can also check the stomach contents to know what his last meal was..."
"No need, this was already mentioned in the report from Hangzhou Station." Ren felt nauseated at the thought of checking the stomach contents.
"If you can remove all the skin and flesh, you can observe more details through the bones... Do you have a special cauldron?"
Chen Baibin's complexion turned livid, and he suddenly covered his mouth and turned around and trotted out.
"I don't think it makes much sense to remove skin and flesh. Just talk about its other features based on skin and anatomy."
"Okay. My feeling is that this person is not a laborer - his muscles are not developed enough, his bones are not strong enough, and he obviously does not often participate in physical labor. The skin covered by clothes is not too rough, and can even be said to be relatively delicate. The soles of his feet The condition of his calluses shows that he often wears shoes when walking, rather than walking barefoot." Su Wan looked at it carefully. "The hands are smooth and there are no traces of long-term labor. He is not a soldier, and there are no calluses left by long-term holding of swords, spears or muskets. , and there are no scars on the fingers of people who shoot arrows."
Su Wan picked up the corpse's hand and looked at it carefully: "His index finger and middle finger have calluses from holding pens for a long time. He should be an intellectual..." Su Wan suddenly frowned and looked over and over. Several times, "Weird!"
"so?"
"The calluses on his middle finger and index finger were left by long-term use of a brush. But the other calluses between the first and second joints on the left side of the index finger and the first and second joints of the thumb are wrong..."
"You can't hold the brush like this." Ren looked at it carefully and subconsciously made movements. He suddenly shouted, "This is the mark of frequent use of the pen!"
"That's right." Su Wan nodded, "Judging from the calluses, the part used with the brush is thicker and harder, and the part used with the pen has softened. Obviously that happened earlier."
"So it's really possible that he is a modern time traveler?!" Ren shouted.
"It's very possible." Su Wan frowned again at this point, "But I can't figure it out a bit. His knees are very calloused, and he seems to be a person who often kneels. I can't think of anyone in modern society. Does this kind of work require kneeling for a long time?"
"Let's see if there are any other clues."
The autopsy continued until after three o'clock in the afternoon. Chen Baibin
"Okay, there's nothing to check now. Let's sew it up." Su Wan took off her gloves with some relief and said to Ren En and Chen Baibin - who came back looking much better after leaving the game midway - "I'm even hungry. It’s broken, I really want to eat.”
Ren En was fine, but Chen Baibin's complexion turned pale again, and he quickly turned around and ran out.
"Did I say something weird?"
Ren smiled and started to help her sew and clean up. Hao Yuan's body will be temporarily stored in the underground morgue of Kaohsiung Health Center. How to deal with it will have to wait for the Political Security Administration to issue an order.
"Come on, let's go up there and get some fresh air." Ren said apologetically, "You haven't had lunch yet, I've already asked someone to prepare it."
The two came to the backyard of the Kaohsiung Health Center. There was a small garden here, which was specially designed for the elders - actually it was reserved for Renn. Ren's life secretary has already set up a small table under the umbrella and is waiting for him.
"Sit down, take a rest, I'll ask them to bring you something to eat." Ren said, "We don't have anything delicious here. It's all seafood, but there's enough venison and a lot of game."
"I don't like meat, and I don't like seafood. Are there any vegetables?"
Ren was startled and said quickly: "Yes, yes. There are quite a lot of varieties. I will take care of them to prepare."
Su Wan sat down limply on the chair - it had been more than four years since she left the old time and space in the blink of an eye. The pain of not being able to eat food from her hometown and the longing for her parents were tearing at her heart all the time, but on the other hand, in the old time and space Here I am just a little-known forensic doctor who lost his job due to a misdiagnosis, but here I have gained countless things that I could not even imagine before - official position, money, honor, respect, and became a doctor before the age of thirty. What does it feel like to be the only authority in the country?
Thinking again of the daily scoldings and reprimands from sadistic leaders in the old days, the neglect and indifference of colleagues, and the ridicule and reprimands of family and friends after losing their jobs... all the troublesome things have gone to hell, thinking of Su Wan again I feel a little proud.
