Mu Min waited in front of the counter for a moment. The morgue attendant, a wretched old man with a rumpled black uniform jacket and an open collar, reluctantly put down the book in his hand and slowly checked according to the regulations. got his ID.
Obviously, Mu Min's sudden visit disturbed his leisure time.
When he realized that the person who came was a senior police officer of the National Police and a veteran, he quickly buttoned up his collar and stood at attention with his heels together in a nondescript manner. "Novel" novel chapters are updated the fastest
"Chief..."
"Let's get down to business." Mu Min realized that although she was wearing a uniform, the other party obviously turned a blind eye to her police rank mark. Of course, it is unrealistic to ask too much from a "helper" who has been working in the county government for most of his life.
The attendant recorded the name of the visitor in the register.
"Which body do you want to see?"
"The student from the maid school who arrived on the morning of September 1st."
The expression on duty was dull for a moment, and this momentary change did not escape Mu Min's eyes.
"Anything?"
"Chief, I have a little Wenti." The duty officer was a little nervous. Although he had been working for the "Australians" for several years, he still didn't feel comfortable with it: the work of the Daming County Government was much simpler, and not as good as that of the Australians. There are so many complicated rules and regulations, but as long as you coax your boss, it doesn't matter what you do. In Australian yamen, there is always a dangerous and tense atmosphere.
"What's up?"
"Chief Su has given instructions that no one can inspect No. 1633090107001 without her permission..." The clerk on duty suddenly had an idea, "Please allow me to call and ask for instructions."
After a few minutes he put down the phone. With an expression of sincerity and fear:
"I will lead you right now. Please be considerate..."
"Stop using the polite words." Mu Min said seriously, "Lead the way."
The attendant picked out a bunch of keys from a pile and led the way.
Behind the last iron door is a monotonous corridor. The watchman turned on the light. It illuminated the dark brick spiral staircase leading to hell at the end of the corridor. Next to the spiral staircase is a square elevator shaft surrounded by four iron columns and iron grid panels. A dark iron plate was suspended in the air with an iron chain - this was a human elevator leading to the basement - specifically used to transport corpses.
Mu Min followed the attendant down the spiral staircase illuminated by weak electric lights. The stairs are very high. Walking to the foyer, the attendant turned on the light, and the cold white light of the fluorescent lamp instantly illuminated the cold room covered with white tiles.
There are three tightly closed iron doors in the hall, all with large locks. The door has Arabic numerals painted in black paint.
The attendant lit the cigarette in his hand, not to cover up the smell of the corpse's body - the temperature in the morgue was very low and the body would not emit a peculiar smell, but to cover up the pungent smell of preservatives.
"Is it No. 1633090107001, a student of the maid school?"
"right."
"Morgue One."
The watchman unlocked a large door. Opening the heavy door, the cold air hit my face. Mu Min couldn't help but shudder. The attendant turned on the light switch, and the two walked into the morgue, which was like an icehouse. The pale fluorescent lights on the ceiling made the room look even colder. The floor covered with white tiles slopes slightly towards the center of the room, where is the cover of the drainage channel. You can hear the ice melting and the water flowing in the gutters business. In order to control the humidity, special hanging racks on both sides of the wall are filled with replaceable rough paper bags containing furnace ashes that act as dehumidifiers. There are large wooden drawers on the other two walls. Wrapped in galvanized iron. The corpses were placed there. The watchman took a binder off the wall. Looking through it.
"This one." He put the clip under his arm, walked to a large drawer, and opened it. Mu Min walked over and uncovered the white sheet covering the body.
The frozen body looked very different from when she went to inspect the scene on the day of the incident. It can be seen that the deceased has been dissected. Mu Min breathed into her cold palms, reached into the underwear pocket of her coat, and took out a pair of disposable cotton gloves coated with a layer of tung oil as a simple substitute for latex gloves.
She put on gloves. Pick up the deceased's arm and look carefully at the corpse's hands and arms. After a long time, she breathed out. Said to the attendant:
"That's it."
Mu Min returned to the ground for a while before she felt that the cold air that enveloped her body had receded a little. Just as she was about to leave the forensic center, she saw a tall, pale figure waiting for her in the foyer.
"Can I talk to you?"
"Of course." Mu Min seemed to have anticipated this meeting.
The conversation took place in Su Wan's office. Since she was not working, she lit the gas lamp and asked the night shift secretary to pour two cups of tea. Then she closed the door and asked:
"Are you in charge of this case?"
"shide."
"Does the Executive Committee have any instructions on this case?"
"There is no instruction." Mu Min laughed strangely, "Why do you think the Executive Committee will have instructions on this case?"
"A student from a maid school couldn't stay in his own dormitory and died inexplicably in the elder's dormitory. You are still responsible for the case - I find it strange that the executive committee did not give instructions."
"You are very sensitive. But except for Xiao Zishan who called and asked, no executive committee member has ever asked about this matter." Mu Min said, "What do you want to tell me?"
"What did Director Xiao say?"
"Find out the truth and report it as soon as possible."
Su Wan seemed relieved: "Have you seen my autopsy report?"
"I've seen it." Mu Min nodded, "This report is very incomplete. It doesn't even conclude whether he committed suicide."
Su Wan's report was a typical case of leaving things alone. It only described the injuries and causes of death that were detected, and did not even conclude whether it was homicide. Mu Min has worked in criminal investigation for five years and has handled more than ten falling cases. Based on her experience, this is a typical homicide case.
According to the report, the deceased was obviously beaten with heavy objects and violently, then pushed down from a high building and died.
Generally speaking, jumping from a building will not cause multiple spinal fractures or massive bleeding in the chest and abdomen. Massive bleeding in the head is possible, but it is not accompanied by skull fractures.
Landing on the front will cause sternum rib fractures and front bleeding, but will not cause multiple fractures in the spine. Landing on the back will cause multiple fractures in the spine but will not cause front fractures. The deceased had two fractures, both front and back. The height of the three-story dormitory area is not very keneng.
"This is a homicide case," Su Wan said with a relaxed look. "Because Mu Min was in a hurry, he only submitted the first forensic report."
"I understand that you have to wait for the executive committee's statement. But for us, finding out the truth is the most important thing. Who owns the truth is not our business."
"I have a second inspection report."
"Just tell me the contents of your second report first." Mu Min said, "I'm very pressed for time."
"To put it simply, an accidental fall usually occurs on the head and feet. There are usually severe leg fractures, but the head may not be injured. Frontal falls are common in spontaneous falls, and there are usually frontal fractures and head injuries. There will be bleeding in the abdomen and other phenomena, but even if the spine is severely fractured, there will be no bleeding in the abdomen. If you land on the front and the abdomen bleeds, it is basically a stone or something like the abdomen hitting the ground."
Mu Min listened very carefully and wrote down the key points in his notebook.
"Although I have not visited the crime scene, my students brought me a complete site investigation report and photos. There were no stones on the ground at the scene of the fall."
"so what?"
"So Lin Xiaoya actually fell from behind, and she was beaten before falling - the abdominal bleeding was an internal injury caused by the beating."
Falling from behind is usually a homicide, that is, falling in the face of the murderer being pushed or other factors. Because it falls on the back, it will be accompanied by severe spinal fractures.
Mu Min nodded: "So it's definitely him who killed him."
"Yes, you just went to see the body. You must have noticed the defensive wounds on her arms."
"shide, I saw it."
"Although I'm not an expert on traces, I can probably tell that it was caused by a fairly strong stick - most likely made of hardwood. If there is a physical evidence report at the scene, you will probably find this murder weapon. Of course, naturalized The level of civilian forensics personnel is too low, and it is very likely to be missed.”
"I will conduct an on-site investigation myself." Mu Min scribbled a few strokes on his notebook, "Are you doing a sexual assault test?"
"Of course, I'm a licensed forensic doctor." Su Wan puffed up her flat chest, "It's strange, no."
"Why do you say 'weird'?"
"The elders' residential area is filled with otakus from this time and space who have all kinds of weird ideas, and our maids are absolute slaves who have no rights to life or personal rights - I have such an idea that you should understand. right."
"Okay, you continue." Mu Min said helplessly.
"Because the elders have different hobbies, so although I have checked that Lin Xiaoya's hymen is intact, I still did all the sexual assault tests I could think of. All the tests showed that Lin Xiaoya had not been sexually assaulted during her lifetime. In addition, she had There were no signs of binding, whipping, minor burns or other similar injuries. I detected no traces of semen on her clothes or skin."
There was obvious disappointment in Su Wan's tone, which made Mu Min shudder again.
"However, something was found during the test of the stomach contents." Su Wan took out a page from the drawer, "I don't know what they were fed in the maid school, but it seemed to be a little too good. ."To be continued...
