Novice Forensic Examiner

Chapter 5 The cause of death is found

Zhou Ning shook his head.

"Xu Da, you just said you should check more, but I didn't understand."

Xu Dayuan chuckled twice.

"Come on, you guys, you are all ** age, you are pretending to be innocent with me, what are you going to check?"

Saying that Xu Da raised his hand, Zhou Ning hurriedly dodged it, but his mind flashed, and he wanted to understand Xu Dayuan's meaning, isn't it just Chu Yumo, what are you doing secretly.

"Got it, got it!"

Xu Dayuan put down his hand and put on his hat, as if he wasn't the one who was about to hit the person just now.

"By the way, are there any new developments on your side?"

Zhou Ning is a little embarrassed. Can he say that if the school badge hadn't hit me, I wouldn't have noticed?

"I just had a phone call with my master. I took measurements here..."

"Tell me the result."

"The time of death of the deceased is estimated to be between 2:00 and 3:00 in the morning on September 27th. My master will come over later after the injection, and the autopsy will start at that time. I have never done this independently."

Xu Dayuan glanced at the time, it was already 11:40, it would be unrealistic to start doing it at noon.

"Success, when the cause of death comes out, notify me as soon as possible. By the way, the police will notify you."

Speaking of which, Xu Dayuan threw it to Zhou Ning's police report, turned around and left, Zhou Ning looked it up and down, no matter how you look at it, it looks familiar, isn't this Xiao Liu's?

Zhou Ning was speechless for a while, glanced at the corpse, and his stomach growled.

Brother is hungry, they just left, what about lunch?

Zhou Ning opened the door and went out. As expected, Xiao Liu was gone, and he sighed with his wrong teeth.

Complaining is useless, if we delay lunch any longer, it will be in vain.

He ran out and went directly to the morgue. Unexpectedly, Xiao Liu and an old man were squatting here smoking. Seeing Zhou Ning coming over, he subconsciously put the cigarette behind him.

"Xiao Zhou, forensic doctor, you startled me, why did you come out?"

Zhou Ning breathed a sigh of relief when he saw someone he knew. Being alone with the body, although he wasn't afraid, it definitely didn't feel good, even if the girl was once so beautiful.

"Help me send the body to the refrigerator first, and we'll do the autopsy in the afternoon after dinner."

Xiao Liu and the old man both stood up and put out the cigarette butts together. It was clear at a glance that the old man was in charge of the mortuary, a job that no young man would want to do.

The three of them packed the body into bags and sent it to the freezer on a flat cart. Zhou Ning removed his outfit and washed his hands several times before leaving the dissection room.

Xiao Liu bared his teeth at Zhou Ning and raised a bag in his hand.

"It's from the hospital cafeteria, where should we eat?"

Before Zhou Ning could speak, the old man pointed to the gazebo in the south of the yard, where there were stone tables and benches.

Zhou Ning was not hypocritical. The cafeteria gave people boxed lunches. It is estimated that Forensic Doctor Liu had this habit before, and he didn't want to eat in the dissection room.

Although I didn't respond, but during the autopsy in the afternoon, some food smells wafted out, which made my stomach feel uncomfortable just thinking about it.

Pulling the old man, the three of them had a good meal, braised peppers in oil, braised saury in brown sauce, roast meat, hot and sour potato shreds, four boxes of vegetables, four boxes of rice, and the three of them ate them all like a storm.

After all, there was plenty of time, and the three chatted a lot. Zhou Ning also learned that Xiao Liu's name was Liu Yong, and his father was a traffic policeman. He hoped that he could be a part of the team, so he followed him as a police assistant.

Zhou Ning drank a bottle of water, rested for a while, and checked the time was half past one, and then called Liu Fayi.

"Master!"

"Have you monitored it? I just finished my injection here, and I'm waiting for my wife to push me over."

Liu Yong collected the things quickly. The old man waved his hand and went to the morgue. He and Liu Yong had to take out the body.

Zhou Ning stood up and looked at the path on the south side of the yard. From forensic doctor Liu's words, he inferred that he was at the county hospital.

After waiting for a short time, forensic doctor Liu was pushed over by his wife. Seeing the plaster on his leg, Zhou Ning knew that he would have to do the autopsy himself for a while.

He hurried forward and greeted Forensic Doctor Liu's wife. Forensic Doctor Liu asked his wife to go back first, and then called to pick him up. His wife did not speak, but there was a worried look on her face.

"Don't worry, Auntie, she won't let Forensic Doctor Liu take action, so she will help me check it. After all, this is my first autopsy, and I really don't know what to do."

Taking over the wheelchair, Zhou Ning quickly explained.

The woman waved her hand.

"I know it's not easy for you. Go and hold it in while you need to go to the toilet. Don't let this young man do it to you. It's embarrassing."

Forensic Doctor Liu blushed.

"Come on, you're so nagging!"

Zhou Ning didn't dare to laugh and pushed Forensic Doctor Liu to the autopsy room. As soon as he came in and saw the corpse, Forensic Doctor Liu put on his reading glasses and asked Xiao Liu to help him stand up with difficulty.

"It's tragic enough. Have you found the information about the deceased?"

Zhou Ning made an introduction, and handed the existing information he summarized, as well as the results of the corpse examination to forensic doctor Liu, and of course the X-ray films, which Zhou Ning could not understand.

"Boy, you did a good job. Xiao Liu, get me a higher chair, the one next to the microscope, yes, yes!"

Xiao Liu was directed to find a chair that could be raised and lowered. Forensic Doctor Liu sat on it and used his uninjured foot to kick on the ground and move to the other side of the anatomy table.

"Cut off the clothes and start the physical examination. Then you can start the dissection. Don't worry. Everyone has a first time. If you make a mistake, I'm here. It doesn't matter if you do it slowly. I'll tell you the steps. First do the routine and then focus on the right side. That stab wound in the side rib."

Zhou Ning nodded. After a morning of torture and digestion of the forensic on-site training at noon, he was no longer as confused as he was in the morning. With Forensic Doctor Liu beside him, he felt much more confident.

Liu Yong rushed out when he heard that an autopsy was required.

Zhou Ning was dressed neatly and gave Dr. Liu a mask and a telescopic pole. He stood beside the autopsy bed and held up the scissors. He cut off the deceased's clothes and placed them on the table next to him. The branch inserted under his left calf also and remove.

The characteristics of the corpse's surface were recorded one by one, from the pupils, conjunctiva, nasal cavity, oral cavity, to the vulva to the toes. According to the instructions of forensic doctor Liu, Zhou Ning carefully observed and recorded step by step.

After doing this, Zhou Ning looked up at Forensic Doctor Liu, who slapped the pole in his hand on the autopsy table.

"Don't be stunned, let's get started. First use the probe to check the wound on the lower edge of the ribs."

Zhou Ning wore two layers of latex gloves, crossed his fingers, and fitted the gloves completely to his hand. He picked up a blunt probe and tried to insert it into the origin-shaped wound on the lower edge of the deceased's ribs. It seems that more than half of it has not yet reached the end.

Swaying from side to side, not much movement.

Fayi Liu gasped, stretched his head and tried to look here.

"It's deep enough, change to a long probe, and then measure the width of the wound, such a narrow wound, how can it be so deep?"

Zhou Ning changed to a thicker, flat-headed probe and carefully inserted it into the injured area. This time, he reached the bottom. It seemed that the front end could still move up and down.

After measuring the length, it turned out to be 185 mm, and the width was only 6 mm. I used a magnifying glass to observe the edge of the wound. There was a tip protruding outside the circle on the left and right sides. The two points were on the same level. I also found some black grease mixed with it. In clots.

Zhou Ning used a razor blade to scrape off the grease, put it on a glass slide, and handed it to forensic doctor Liu.

"Master, I don't know what the black grease on the wound is, but the wound is so narrow, and the weapon is so thin and long..."

Zhou Ning paused and saw Forensic Doctor Liu staring at him with encouraging eyes.

"A screwdriver is an extremely slender screwdriver. I see many computer repairmen using this kind of thing."

Physician Liu slapped his thigh, the movement shook his injured leg, and he grinned in pain.

"You're not a bad boy, haven't we analyzed this? If it penetrates the lower edge of the ribs at this position, the deceased's organs must be severely damaged. Cut it quickly and be careful with your hands! As for the oil sampling, we will send it for inspection later."

Zhou Ning looked at Forensic Doctor Liu gratefully. This little old man knew what the murder weapon was just now, but he was just waiting for his own judgment. Such a master is really touching.

Holding the scalpel without any nonsense, he began to cut the chest and abdomen wall from the neck to the lower abdomen. As soon as he cut open, he saw that the abdominal cavity was full of black and purple blood clots.

"Don't worry about this, take samples and continue."

Zhou Ning nodded and followed suit, then separated the muscle tissue and ribs, checked the lungs and heart, and took the contents of the stomach.

Everything was held up for forensic doctor Liu to see, and forensic doctor Liu kept correcting Zhou Ning's movements. From the trembling operation of the knife to the final inspection of each organ, he had forgotten his nervousness.

After cleaning up most of the coagulated blood clots, when Zhou Ning was about to check his spleen, Doctor Liu's pole hit Zhou Ning's arm.

"Don't rush to use the knife, look at the place where the lower edge of the right rib is pierced, did it hurt the spleen?"

Zhou Ning held up the probe and poked it into the stab wound, and sure enough, his spleen moved accordingly. Forensic Liu nodded in satisfaction.

"Okay, the cause of death has been found."

Zhou Ning paused.

"Master, will the dissection end here?"
