Three people died at the scene, and the police station would definitely open a case. Mick did not get too involved, and Witte became the leader of the case investigation. Therefore, Kawei was not interested in the various scattered news brought by 303. They were just trivial matters. What he was really interested in was the results of Werther's investigation.
Judging from the on-site investigation in the morning and the autopsy after Musil went to the hospital in the afternoon, it was obvious that Mr. and Mrs. 102 were poisoned to death. The specific poison was not difficult to detect, which was arsenic [1], while Shaden was dead. Typical mechanical asphyxia.
Witte was very experienced in homicide cases, and he could tell at a glance that Shaden was strangled to death from behind. It was not an ordinary rope strangulation, but a pair of powerful forearms.
Because of this, we can basically rule out the suspicion of 303 and Kawei.
303 is old and frail, and Kawei is also very thin. The two of them can't compete with Xiaden, who is two times stronger than them. Even in a simple 1-on-2 fight, without the help of weapons, Shaden would not be at a disadvantage.
Moreover, strangulation with the upper limbs will definitely result in a counterattack by the opponent, leaving some scratch marks on the arms even through clothes. But let alone their arms, these two people were extremely clean from head to toe, with no sign of a fierce struggle.
In addition, in terms of motivation, the two of them had no reason to kill.
Shaden came to Vienna to fight for the inheritance, but he was only a distant relative of Andre and had no will. But Kawei heard that a lawyer proved that there should be a complete will that complies with legal regulations, and there is no problem with inheritance rights.
If Witte didn't see the will, he would definitely continue to check it. The reply to him at that time should be: after identification, there is no problem with the will, and Kawei is the sole heir of Andre's property after his death.
After 303's embellishing of the whole thing, another process unfolded in front of Werther's eyes.
When the couple in Room 102 and Shaden were fighting for the right to inherit the inheritance, Kawei stepped in. The three of them held a grudge, and after retreating, they huddled together to think of countermeasures.
But during the discussion, Shaden found that he would definitely lose without a will. In order to get rid of his competitors, he secretly poisoned the couple and then blamed Kawei. The couple also felt that Xia Deng's presence was in the way. After noticing something strange, they prepared to strike first and strangled Xia Deng to death together.
From beginning to end, Witt misses the lawyer, and Carvey's transfer of the body also obscures the time of death to a certain extent.
In Witte's opinion, the scene where the three men killed each other was indeed a coincidence, but it could be regarded as a reasonable explanation despite insufficient evidence. Even if Kawei is questioned later, the main purpose is to understand what happened, and it is difficult to doubt him.
As for exchanging news with Mick, it would be more troublesome.
Before Kawei, 303 was one of the few people in Building 73 who could read and write, so he was in charge of the "work" of sending and receiving emails for everyone. In addition, he is the only one in the building who stays in the building all day, so the burden of sending and receiving emails every day falls on him.
Every day, the post office's special carriage will pass by Basinger Street at 7:25 in the morning and 16:22 in the afternoon, and 303 will stand at the door to send and receive mail.
“If there’s nothing special there’s no need to send an email, just keep it on file.”
"What is a special thing?"
"There are changes in the tenant list, changes in life trajectories, strangers that have never been seen before, and some illegal activities are discovered, etc." 303 said, "Usually that's all, sometimes drastic emotional changes also require Report it.”
"Just leave the record and send the email to the Archives Office?"
"Um."
303 turned to today's record again: "For example, Miss Milika in Room 202 usually leaves at nine in the morning and comes home at five in the afternoon. But today she didn't come home on time, which is considered a special situation. I guess she found a new job. Working overtime to make up for the day's working hours.
Mr. Genade in Room 101 has not returned yet, but considering that he complained last night that he had to go to a rich man's mansion to help today, it is considered normal. "
"So you don't have to report all of this?"
"In principle, you don't have to report it." 303 hesitated for a moment, "But you have seen how cruel Mr. Mick is. Personally, I prefer to report it at least every three days."
"Then report it."
"OK."
After speaking, 303 took out a code book [2]: "If it is an ordinary report, you only need to briefly state the content. If you encounter special circumstances, you need to use this."
"It's not that bad..."
"No way, this is what Mr. Mick asked for."
"Can't it be in Latin?"
"You think he knows Latin?"
The codebook is just a simple digital table. The principle is not difficult, but it is very energy-consuming when it comes to using it. In order to reduce the workload, Kawei could only reduce the content of the report and try to be as streamlined as possible.
But even so, after completing the text of the day's briefing, he still felt dizzy.
After the handover with 303, Kawei rested for half an hour and waited for his eyes to recover slightly before he started to deal with the rabbit heads. The tools he had at hand were limited, only the pliers and scissors he used in daily life. Fortunately, it was not a delicate dissection, so it didn't matter if his movements were rough.
What Alphonse wanted was rabbit meat, and he treated the rabbit head very casually. The cutting positions were between the 2nd and 5th cervical vertebrae.
In order to remove the brain tissue, Kawei first needed to trim the short end appropriately to expose the foramen magnum. Then peel off the skin and most of the muscles on the head, insert ordinary pointed scissors from the foramen magnum, and carefully cut the blade close to the bones to the vicinity of the bilateral eye sockets. 【3】
After making the incisions on both sides, hold the bones at the foramen magnum with your hands and gently lift the skull upwards, and the complete brain tissue will be revealed. 【4】
Generally it is not difficult to get to this step, but the troublesome part comes next.
The rabbit brain is smaller than that of other animals, and the pituitary gland is also in an awkward position, sandwiched between the skull base bones. When peeling off, you need to pay attention to the surrounding bone fragments. During the dissection, Kawei also tried several methods, but finally chose to remove all the brain tissue first [5], and then slowly process the remaining parts.
The rabbit pituitary gland is very small, and the carefully cut posterior lobe needs to be dehydrated on dry paper overnight and needs to be dried for a whole day before use.
The dried pituitary gland needs to be ground for a long time to become a fine dry powder. Then put it into the test tube at the ratio of 15ml of water per g of dry powder. After slowly leaching for 40 minutes, manually centrifuge and wait for complete precipitation.
Collect the clear liquid, immerse the remaining residue in clean water in the same proportion as before, and then extract.
The conventional preparation method requires four repeated extractions. With the limited instruments at hand, Kawei could not guarantee the extraction rate, so he simply increased the number of extractions to six times to finally obtain the most basic posterior pituitary gland extract.
But these are all things for later.
At five o'clock the next morning, Kawei got up, spread the dehydrated rabbit pituitary gland on paper, and let it dry naturally.
After leaving home at 5:30, he did not rush to the hospital. Instead, he walked in the opposite direction and went to the Forestry Bureau where he worked before and found several old friends. After explaining the current situation to them, he explained his purpose of coming, and finally, after a while of bargaining, he decided to purchase the voles for 10 hules each.
My friend was very interested in his recent experiences and thought he had gotten into some kind of business before he gave up his tree-cutting job. Kavi could only blame the whole thing on Alphonse, saying that an unknown French chef needed some voles to test dishes, and thus escaped questioning.
After making preparations, Kawei finally got on the public carriage and returned to the hospital.
His original plan was to finish his work early and go home early in the afternoon to continue tinkering with oxytocin. Unexpectedly, he met Ignatz as soon as he arrived at the door of the hospital. In addition to secretly marveling at the evening gown he was wearing, Kawei couldn't help but ask: "Why are you so early, teacher?"
"Morning?" Ignatz looked very tired. He opened the pocket watch on his waist and said, "It's indeed early."
Seeing that he was in a bad mood, Kawei immediately thought of the quarrel between the couple yesterday and the dance they were going to attend that night. His identity was far from enough to discuss private matters with the other party. He really didn't dare to ask further, so he had to follow him quickly back to the third ward.
Ignatz didn't seem to come to work. Instead of running to the office to change clothes, he dove into the anatomy room. After staying inside for about ten minutes, he opened the door suddenly and hurried out carrying his surgical tool box.
"Where are Hills and Herm?"
"Dr. Hills has an anatomy class at the medical school in the morning, so he probably won't come to the hospital in the morning."
Kawei briefly explained the work schedule of the two doctors this morning: "Dr. Hermann has a liposarcoma resection in the morning, but the time is scheduled for 9 o'clock. According to his usual time, it is expected to take about half an hour to arrive. Hospital."
Ignatz was very anxious. He looked at the front and back of the surgical ward and couldn't tolerate him to continue picking people: "Forget it, you come with me!"
"Let's go? Where?" Kawei put down the medical records in his hand. Although he was still asking questions, his body had already followed.
"Central City, Whitegreen Street."
...
Kawei was in such a hurry to enter the hospital just now that he didn't take a closer look at the carriage Ignatz was riding in.
After leaving the courtyard gate and looking again, I realized that this carriage was different from ordinary taxi carriages. The decorations on the body and horses were more luxurious.
It did happen at the ball, but it had nothing to do with the quarrel between Mr. and Mrs. Ignatz. In an environment full of nobles, they would not ruin the image of the two families by revealing the little things that happened between them.
The problem lies with the owner of the dance.
"My whole body is red and swollen. If I'm not wrong, it must be caused by those oysters!" Ignatz squeezed the suitcase tightly, "I hope I won't need these!"
