Chapter 22: Ripples

The crash on South Street was severe, with three vehicles colliding in a row, and also involved a large truck and a medium-sized bus.

According to reports from the scene, the driver of the sedan died on the spot, and the passenger car also suffered casualties, but it is not known for the time being.

By the time Qiu Lan and Xu Chengyan rushed back to the public security bureau, there were about four black transport vehicles parked outside, which meant that at least four bodies were waiting to be dissected.

I'm probably busy today.

Although there is still a forensic doctor in the Public Security Bureau, he took a leave of absence yesterday to have appendicitis surgery in the hospital, so all the bodies sent today were dissected by Qiu Lan alone.

Although she began to dissect corpses when she was studying forensic medicine, she was able to dissect two corpses a day at most, so she would have been busy until late at night today.

"Officer Xu, thank you, I'll go to the autopsy first. Qiu Lan pursed her lips, nodded lightly and said goodbye, and left in a hurry.

In the preparation room, Qiu Lan changed into a medical surgical gown, put on surgical gloves and goggles, and carefully cleaned and disinfected before entering the autopsy room.

The first body was the driver of the sedan who died at the scene of the car accident.

"I'm Qiu Lan, a medical examiner, and I'm going to dissect the body of the driver of the sedan who died instantly in the South Street serial crash, case number FW773102. She bowed slightly, and told the story of the dissection to a small recorder hanging from her collar.

"Satoshi, take notes. Qiu Lan had a serious face and commanded the assistant beside her seriously.

"Okay, Dr. Cho. ”

Qiu Lan nodded slightly, and then began to carefully examine the external scars of the corpse, "The corpse has different degrees of bruises on its head, and there is a swollen blood clot on the back of the head. ”

"There are marks of violent impact on the front chest and abdomen of the corpse, and it is believed that due to the inertial collision during the car accident, the corpse's palms are bruised, and there are no obvious injuries in other parts. ”

After that, she turned on the ultraviolet light to check for bruises under the skin, and after doing all this, Qiu Lan picked up the planer knife and opened the body in a straight line, starting from the lower jaw of the deceased.

"Multiple ribs were fractured, both lungs were punctured, the liver was ruptured, and the cause of death was due to a burst of the lungs, which was wrong. ”

Just as Qiu Lan was about to make up her mind, her gaze suddenly fixed on the lower tissues of her lungs, and a confused glint flashed under her eyes, "The deceased died of suffocation. ”

"Suffocation?" the assistant Xiao Cong asked with a puzzled face, "How could it be suffocation?" The deceased died in a car accident, according to common sense, it should be internal organs damaged, or it was caused by hitting the brain. ”

"Yes, call Officer Xu. Qiu Lan looked at the blackened alveoli in her lungs with a heavy face.

This condition occurs after a period of impaired lung function.

In other words, this case is not as simple as an ordinary car accident case, it is murder.

"Dr. Qiu, I called, and Officer Xu said he would be there soon. The assistant Xiao Cong put down the phone and reported a few words to her.

About fifteen minutes later, Xu Chengyan entered the autopsy room in full dress.

There was a strong fishy smell in the autopsy room, and there was a corpse on the countertop that had been disemboweled.

Although there was no blood flowing out, the yellow fat and bloody internal organs were impressively reflected in Xu Chengyan's eyes.

The smell of nausea rushed over him, and he covered his mouth, retched a few times, and turned pale.

"Officer Xu, are you okay?" Qiu Lan walked over with concern and said softly, "Actually, you don't have to come over, we can have a video conference." ”

"You haven't touched corpses before, and you won't be able to accept it for a while. She raised an eyebrow slightly.

But for herself, I don't know what's going on, she seems to be born with forensic medicine, in the past, in class, her classmates ran out, but she didn't react at all, even the professor was shocked.

"Yes, I think when I took the analytic class in my first year, the whole class vomited out, Officer Xu, you didn't escape, it's still good. Assistant Satoshi stood aside and teased him with a little smile.

"No, it's fine. Xu Chengyan held his breath, opened his mouth slightly and gasped: "This car accident case is because the traffic police team found unusual tire marks in the car at the scene, so we took over the serious case and dissected the body." ”

"Since Dr. Qiu said that he found something unusual, of course I have to come and see it. ”

Qiu Lan smiled softly, and then immediately retracted the corners of her mouth, with a serious expression, she turned around and walked in the direction of the autopsy table, "Officer Xu, when I was dissecting the body just now, I found a slightly blackened alveoli in the lungs. ”

"This situation is superficial that the deceased was not breathing before the car accident, because the deceased's lungs were punctured and the liver ruptured, and he must have died on the spot, which would not have happened. ”

With that, she walked around the autopsy table to the other side, flipped the deceased's back, and then handed the glasses to Xu Chengyan, "Xiao Cong, turn on the ultraviolet light." ”

Under the ultraviolet light, purple-red marks emerged.

Again, it would explain why there are so many unmarked scars on his back. Qiu Lan furrowed her brows and said in a low voice, "The deceased had an argument with someone before he died, and there was a physical collision. ”

"And he was drugged. Qiu Lan used tweezers to take out the white powder in her stomach that had not completely decomposed and put it into the storage tray, "Give it to the forensic department to see what the ingredients are." ”

"If I'm not mistaken, this should be the cause of the deceased's suffocation. ”

"So, so, this could be a murder, because the death of the deceased caused the car to lose control and there was a series of car accidents. Xu Chengyan glanced at the location she pointed out out from the corner of his eye, retching incessantly.

"So to speak. Qiu Lan pursed her lips and replied with a heavy face.

After putting down the planing knife in her hand, she noticed the sweaty and pale person next to her, "Officer Xu, why don't you go out first, and I will give you a detailed autopsy report." ”

"Well, that's bothering you. Xu Chengyan couldn't stand the smell of the corpse and walked out quickly.

"Whew, whew. In the corridor outside, Xu Chengyan supported the wall with his hands, bent over, and gulped for fresh, clean air.

After feeling better, he had a little energy, stood up straight, and raised his eyes slightly.

Through the piece of glass on the door of the autopsy, Qiu Lan's petite and busy back fell indifferently into Xu Chengyan's eyes, and he didn't know why the gaze of this figure was as heavy as a thousand catties and could not be moved, and it also set off ripples in his heart.

The slight fluctuation made his cheeks flush a little.

A good-looking girl, academically knowledgeable, smart and witty, calm in case of trouble, and not chaotic in the face of danger.

How can such a person not be attractive?

Although he was a little embarrassed, Xu Chengyan still had to admit that he was really a little tempted by her.

In fact, when I met her for the first time in the toilet, I may have been moved.

It's just that after having more contact, I appreciate her even more.
