Autopsy Department.
On the forensic side, everything is ready and they just need to wait for the body to thaw before they can be examined.
Sun Zhenbang also did a good job of disinfection, put on sterile clothes and other equipment, and was responsible for observing and recording.
The body was pushed out while lying on a stretcher. As the ice melted, the complete appearance appeared in Sun Zhenbang's eyes.
The man's face was livid, his body was pale, his eyes were so wide that they almost bulged out, and his facial features were also very distorted. He didn't know what he saw before he died.
"The deceased one, male, 38 years old, the time of death was initially determined to be around 9-10 pm. The cause of death was chest penetration, leading to organ failure, excessive bleeding, and unknown sharp weapon..."
At this point, the forensic doctor paused slightly, and Sun Zhenbang also followed his gaze.
There was a huge bloody hole on the man's chest, about the thickness of his thumb. It was made by an unknown sharp weapon, and it looked really eye-catching.
The flesh and blood inside had long since disappeared, probably falling into the snow. Other than that, there were no other obvious wounds.
The wound is very special. It is difficult for ordinary sharp tools to create such a shape, and the cut surface is also very neat and clean.
Sun Zhenbang observed carefully and thought about it in his mind, as if no weapon could match it.
This body was relatively well preserved, but the other body was a bit miserable.
There is a scar that runs through the entire face. The scar looks very fresh, it must have been caused not long ago, and half of the head was smashed by something unknown.
"The second deceased, male, 39 years old, had obvious wounds on his face. The time of death was initially determined to be around 10-11 pm. The cause of death was severe head trauma and an unknown sharp weapon..."
Sun Zhenbang couldn't help but fell into deep thought, "The two people died in different ways and at different times. We rule out the possibility of killing each other for the time being."
And they were killed front and rear, which means the murderer defeated them one by one.
No sharp weapons were found at the scene. The only possible murder weapon was a machete, which was sent to the laboratory for fingerprint analysis.
But no matter the shape of the wound on that corpse, it didn't look like it could be caused by a machete. It was really weird.
There were no signs of wild beast bites on the two people, so it was very likely that a third person was present at the time, who killed the two poachers, released the wild animals, and left with the murder weapon.
Or maybe the third person is also a poacher and wants to take advantage of others, but he won't kill anyone.
It's also possible that he was discovered and had no choice but to kill him.
After thinking about it, Sun Zhenbang came up with several possibilities.
The forensic doctors were still doing detailed inspections, and one of them seemed to have made a new discovery. He took slender tweezers and picked out a very small black-green scale fragment from the blood hole and placed it next to it.
Sun Zhenbang couldn't help but approached, "What is this?"
The forensic doctor looked at it carefully and said uncertainly: "It seems to be debris that fell off the scales of some kind of snake, but there are traces of burnt blackness."
Later, someone found similar scale fragments on the head of another male corpse.
Sun Zhenbang immediately asked someone to take it down for examination. Because he was busy with other things, he could not stay at the autopsy office. Seeing that the autopsy was coming to an end, he chose to leave.
Notify the forensic doctor. If there are any new results, notify him immediately.
By the afternoon, all the test results came out. There was only the fingerprint of the second deceased on the machete. At the same time, there was nothing else at the scene except the footprints and fingerprints of the two deceased.
In other words, there is no third person present at the scene.
Then the strangest thing is that snake scale fragments were found in the fatal wounds of the two poachers.
Also at the scene, a wooden board was found with a small hole about the same size as the deceased's chest. After investigation by the police at the scene, the shape and diameter of the two holes were the same.
Strange ways of death, strange holes, and strange snake scales, everything is full of weirdness.
It's puzzling.
Sun Zhenbang was confused with the report in his hand.
The passing geese leave traces, and the passing water leaves a sound.
No matter how well you do it, there will always be some clues left out, but judging from the scene, there are only traces of the two poachers, and there is no trace of the third person at all.
So who killed them?
It can't be a ghost, right?
And so far, except for a few fragments of snake scales, not even the murder weapon has been found. There are no clues as to what the object is or its shape.
Just when Sun Zhenbang was confused, the forensic doctor said there was new progress.
The forensic doctors looked solemn and their expressions were hard to describe.
Sun Zhenbang was born and asked: "What happened?"
Several forensic doctors looked at each other, but no one spoke.
The atmosphere suddenly fell into dead silence.
Finally, Forensic Doctor Li stood up and said, "Officer Sun, I have dissected so many corpses, and this is the first time I have encountered such a strange thing, so I would like to invite you to come over and discuss it."
Forensic Doctor Li is the most experienced and senior person here. He has dissected hundreds if not thousands of corpses. It is not easy for him to say such words to confront this matter.
"In the end what happened."
Forensic Doctor Li couldn't help but sigh, "I suspect that the person who killed them was not a human being."
Hearing this, countless questions came to Sun Zhenbang's mind, "The person who killed them was not a human being, could it be a ghost? Forensic Doctor Li, you are also educated after all, why are you so superstitious——"
Forensic Doctor Li waved his hand quickly, "No, no, no, Officer Sun, you misunderstood me. What I meant was that it was most likely a snake that killed them."
"Snake venom was found in their bodies?"
Forensic Doctor Li shook his head.
This sounded even more incredible. Sun Zhenbang couldn't help but said: "If it's not snake venom, how could a snake kill someone? It can't be caused by being entangled by a giant python."
Most of the people killed by the giant python died of suffocation. Because the blood was not flowing smoothly, the body would turn purple, but the cause of death of these two people was obviously not the same.
Even if Sun Zhenbang is not a forensic doctor, he can still see it.
Forensic doctor Li knew that the facts were hard to believe, but if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have believed this absurdity. He took out a report and handed it to Sun Zhenbang.
"Officer Sun, this is the latest inspection report. According to the reaction of the comrades at the scene, there were no signs of a violent fight and no murder weapon was found. However, snake DNA and fragments were detected in the fatal wounds of the two men. Scales.”
Forensic Doctor Li paused, as if it was extremely difficult to speak the next words, "So——"
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Sun Zhenbang, "So you suspect that the murderer is a snake?"
Forensic Doctor Li and others were silent, then nodded, "Based on the current situation, that's the case."
"Ridiculous! Are you kidding me?"
Sun Zhenbang felt that this statement was even more incredible than ghosts killing people.
Whenever he found traces of snake bites or snake venom on these two people, he would not react like this.
He saw the fatal wounds on the two corpses with his own eyes.
"Of those two people, one had his chest pierced, and the other had his head smashed to pieces."
"You're telling me now that it was a snake that killed the two of them? Are you mistaken?"
