"Have you been lying to him before?" Vicente asked.
"I didn't lie to him," Agnes spread her hands and said, "I was just describing the facts and asking him."
"It's just that you didn't deny him." Vicente added after Agnes's words.
"That's his own idea, why should I deny it." Agnes smiled and said.
"So, when you said, 'People from the National Police Agency are already on their way,' you were just trying to scare him?" Vicente asked.
"I said, I was just recounting the facts." Agnes said.
"What about Mr. Lunn..." Vicente turned his head, looked at Lunn who was just standing aside, and asked casually.
"Mr. Lunn probably needs to help Mr. Bernie."
Agnes said calmly as she watched Lun turn around and jump from the window.
...
"Currently, it seems that these people's bodies have undergone some degree of abnormality." Aiden stood up, turned to Wentz and said.
The floor of the room was already covered with iron cabinets. The lids had been removed and placed on the ground. The corpses inside had been carefully sewn with incisions, and they looked normal.
"Captain, look, this corpse's incisors and canines have grown abnormally. The canines are slightly bent backwards, and the molars have become wide and long, with developed cutting edges appearing on the outside. Such teeth are very useful for It is very beneficial to bite and cut raw meat." Aiden opened the mouth of a corpse and told Wentz.
"It's kind of like a wolf tooth feature," Wentz said.
"Yes." Aiden nodded and reached out to turn the body over: "In addition, the spine of his body has also changed. You see, his back looks a little weird. In fact, it is because his spine has become smaller than The average person is much straighter, and the size of the vertebral body tends to be average. This should have a greater impact on his daily actions, especially since he is a sailor, a profession with a lot of physical labor. Logically speaking, if he is born like this If so, there will be some obvious lesions, but I found that the strain on his waist has not reached the level of causing disease."
"In addition, his tailbone has also experienced abnormal growth, and his pelvis has also become smaller," Aiden said, pointing to the obvious protrusion above the buttocks on the body, and then turned the body back over: "His sternum even became eight The joints and ribs are also somewhat different from ordinary people, the clavicle has degenerated, and new visceral bones have appeared.”
"And his limbs..." Aiden described his findings carefully, but Wentz did not interrupt him.
"So, you mean that they all had a certain degree of alienation before they died, but they didn't know it themselves? It seems that the target of Detective Poirot's original entrustment should have felt the alienation in his own body. Only when you change will you be addicted to the hallucinations caused by drugs all day long." Wentz said thoughtfully.
Aiden shook his head and said: "I don't think so. They won't be able to feel such a big change in their bodies, and not all of these people behave like this."
He walked over to another body,
"This is the entrusted target of Detective Poirot. I found that judging from his body alone, his death time was several days earlier than what we know about his real death time, and the same is true for several others."
"This was not found during the previous autopsy." Wentz's face suddenly became serious.
"After all, they infer that the time of death is mostly judged by corpse spots, the degree of digestion of gastrointestinal contents, and bladder urine output. This is true for normal corpses, but for such people who are still moving like normal people after death. Not the corpse." Aiden stretched out his hand to straighten the head of the corpse and said: "The cause of his death was even different from the previous one. This person did not die from the drug injection that Detective Poirot said. Respiratory paralysis due to overdose.”
"This smell on him..." Aiden said with a frown.
"What's wrong?" Wentz asked.
"Nothing." Aiden shook his head and motioned for Wentz to come and take a look. Wentz frowned, but still looked forward without hesitation, and then glanced at Aiden doubtfully.
"He looks pale because his blood circulation has stopped long ago, and the blood will naturally flow downwards, causing blood to accumulate." Aiden raised his hand to cut the sutured incision line, and said softly: "Look , his blood vessels are shriveled, and even ruptured in some places. In fact, I suspect that he was already like this when he was injected with that tube. That's why Detective Poirot was surprised that he could actually rupture the entire tube. Inject them all in one tube.”
Aiden sewed up the incision and walked to the corpse's feet.
"Look at the color of his calves and feet," Aiden said.
Wentz turned his attention to the feet of the corpse and couldn't help but frown, while Aiden reached out and pressed on the feet.
"His feet and calves were swollen and purple, which did not fade when pressed. This was an obvious sign of advanced cadaveric plaques, but the cadaveric plaques on his body were larger. The previous autopsy results regarded this as a sign that he had venous thrombosis. ." Aiden said casually.
"So how long has he been dead?" Wentz asked.
"It has been at least more than a week, or even longer, and the xenotransformation of the previous corpses should have been started at the same time. I can't be completely sure of this time, because judging from their corpses, these transformations are a slow process."
"So, they should all have undergone such a transformation before returning to Bodivia?"
"I think so," Aiden said as he turned over the limbs of the corpse in his hands: "I actually have some suspicions. He should have known that he was slowly heading towards death, so he tried to numb himself with drugs, but Obviously, he didn't realize that he was not heading towards death, but already dead. Those drugs actually had no great effect on him, the only effect was just to pickle him up."
...
Agnes and Vicente walked out of the police station together.
"I haven't paid my salary yet," Vicente turned to look at Agnes and said, "Want to sit in the cafe?"
"Okay, Mr. Vicente," Agnes said with a smile.
The two of them walked to the morning coffee shop together. At this time, not many people came to drink coffee.
"You are an extraordinary person." Vicente said with certainty.
Agnes tilted her head noncommittally, waiting for his next words.
"You should still have a deep connection with the church." Vicente said with certainty.
Agnes smiled and said nothing.
