The shrill siren suddenly sounded behind Qiu Lan, followed by a rush of footsteps, and the people from the Serious Crime Team and the Forensic Section, as well as Xiao Cong, hurried to her side.

"Doctor Qiu, how is the scene?"

Qiu Lan frowned, looked at the corpse under the wooden board coldly, and said silently: "Just now, there was a female injured person, who was stabbed in the abdomen, and she has been sent to the hospital for treatment, and there is also a male injured and dead person here." ”

Listening to her words, Xu Chengyan glanced back at Pei Pei behind him, and commanded in a low voice, "Pei Pei, you go to the hospital to see the condition of the injured, Xiao Tiao, you learn from the witness just now about the situation at that time." ”

After nodding in response, Pei Pei and Xiao Tiao turned around and left the scene of the murder, and Xiao Cong on the side walked to Qiu Lan's side with a forensic box and handed Qiu Lan a pair of surgical gloves.

Qiu Lan, who was heavy-faced, put on surgical gloves, and then squatted next to the corpse, carefully examining the specific situation.

"There was a knife wound about eight centimeters in length to the neck of the deceased, which cut the major artery and bleed severely, which should be the cause of death, in addition, the deceased had three stab wounds on his body, two in the middle of the abdomen and one on the right side of the abdomen, which were very close to each other. ”

When the words settled, she took out a slender liver temperature monitor and inserted it into the deceased's liver steadily, and the pointer slowly turned, "The liver temperature is thirty-two degrees." ”

"The deceased's pupils were dilated, tarnished, his face was stiff, his body was not spotted, his muscles were stiff, and the time of death should have been an hour ago. ”

"An hour ago?" Xu Chengyan frowned thoughtfully, and whispered suspiciously: "Then this deceased should have been injured at the same time as the injured person just now, Doctor Qiu, is my analysis correct?"

"Well, so to speak. Qiu Lan pursed her red lips and nodded solemnly, "The time should be about the same." ”

She stared at the wound on the corpse solemnly, and said in a low voice: "It's just that the male deceased was stabbed multiple times in the body and injured the major arteries, which can be said to be instant death, while the female injured person was lucky, but she was only stabbed in the abdomen, and I have examined the wound, which is not enough to cause death." ”

"I see. Xu Chengyan nodded solemnly, his face serious.

He raised his eyes and glanced at the surrounding environment, although this alley is located in the center of the city, and near the GreenTree Inn Hotel, but it was late at the time of the crime, the alley was very dark, and there was no surveillance, so he could not see the specific situation of the crime.

But fortunately, there was an eyewitness who noticed the situation here in time, and Qiu Lan happened to be nearby, and the scene was well preserved.

At this moment, Cao Fan, an expert from the forensic department who was collecting evidence on the side, walked over with a transparent evidence bag, "Doctor Qiu, we found a bloody dagger here, you can see if it will be a murder weapon." ”

Listening to his words, Qiu Lan stood up, took the thing in his hand, took a closer look at the situation of the dagger, and finally nodded slightly, "The length and width of this knife do match the wound, but this is only a preliminary judgment, and the specific situation will not be known until I go back to dissect it." ”

"Expert Cao, please send me the specific situation of this knife when the time comes, and I will compare it with the wound. ”

"Good. Cao Fan nodded and put the evidence into the evidence box.

The evidence collection and questioning at the scene were the work of the Forensic Bureau and the Serious Crime Team, so Qiu Lan and Xiao Cong got into the corpse transport vehicle and returned to the autopsy room of the police station with the body first.

The dim shadowless lamp suddenly lit up, illuminating the cold corpse on the dissecting table.

Qiu Lan, who was standing on the side, put on goggles and gloves, and the expression on her face was extremely serious.

"I'm Qiu Lan, a forensic doctor, and now I'm going to perform an autopsy on the male body found by GreenTree Inn, and the case number is K, J52216324. ”

After speaking, she picked up the tool at hand to measure the injuries on the deceased's body, while Xiao Cong stood aside with a camera to take pictures and collect evidence.

"The length of the deceased's neck was nine centimeters and the depth was three centimeters, which cut the major artery in the neck, causing the deceased to bleed to death, which can be said to be instant death. ”

"The wounds on the deceased's abdomen were all three centimeters long, and the depth of the wounds was seven centimeters, which should have been inflicted at the same time as the fatal wounds, and the distance between the three wounds was four centimeters and three centimeters respectively. ”

After speaking, Qiu Lan put down the things in her hand and took out the ultraviolet light.

After putting on her goggles, she turned on the ultraviolet light and examined the deceased for subcutaneous bruises.

After a closer examination, the focus of the light rested on the shoulders of the deceased, and several slender bruises came into her view.

"Xiao Cong, make a record, there are three on the back shoulders of the deceased, no, four, slender red bruises, which should be caused by pressing or squeezing. ”

Before the end fell, Qiu Lan had already stopped what she was doing, her eyebrows moved slightly, and a trace of doubt crossed her eyes.

She lowered her eyes and looked down at the bruises, as well as the three wounds on her abdomen.

Suddenly, she glanced up at Xiao Cong beside her, and said in a low voice: "Xiao Cong, look at these bruises and wounds, can you think of some questions." ”

Listening to her words, Satoshi put down what he was holding and landed his gaze on where she was pointing.

After thinking about it for a moment, he pursed his lips and shook his head.

Qiu Lan picked up a pen next to him and walked in front of him, her left hand on his shoulder, and her right hand holding the pen against his abdomen.

As soon as the movement was fixed, Xiao Cong understood what she meant, "Doctor Qiu, you mean that the deceased was held in the shoulder and stabbed in the abdomen?"

He paused and lowered his eyes thoughtfully, "That is, the deceased was very close to the murderer when he was stabbed. ”

"That's right, if you think about it, there's nothing else to discover. Qiu Lan withdrew the movements in her hand and stared indifferently at the person in front of her, her tone calm.

"I didn't think of it for a while. Satoshi shook his head lightly and responded in a low voice.

"When I stabbed you in the abdomen with my pen just now, you were standing, and it was because you were standing that I was able to put force on your shoulder, leaving such a subcutaneous scar. Qiu Lan pursed her red lips lightly and explained solemnly.

Listening to her words, Xiao Cong suddenly realized, "I understand, that is to say, these three scars are injuries before death, when the deceased was stabbed, he was still alive, and the fatal wound on his neck was caused later." ”

"That's right. Qiu Lan nodded affirmatively and analyzed carefully: "And looking at this position, the murderer's height is shorter than the deceased, or similar to the deceased's height, otherwise it would not have caused such a bruise." ”

When the words were settled, she walked back to the dissecting table, picked up the scalpel on the side, and cut open the chest cavity of the deceased.

One hour, after the autopsy was over, Qiu Lan and Xiao Cong sent the body to the morgue together, and finally lit a small incense in the autopsy room.

White smoke swirled silently, and she sat alone in front of the computer, compiling the autopsy results into a report.
