Volume 1 Freaks Must Die Chapter 10 The Hypothalamus and Dopamine

Seeing Chu Yu's voice, Bai Yue turned her head: "What's wrong?"

Chu Yu's gaze was still focused on the corpse, and he said in an affirmative tone: "This corpse is not made according to the ancient Egyptian mummification method. ”

"How do you know?"

Chu Yu asked rhetorically: "Are you sure there is no heart in the corpse, only spices?"

"Of course I'm sure, there's no internal organs in it, I don't believe you can dig it out yourself. ”

Chu Yu's head shook like a rattle: "Forget it, I believe you." ”

After a pause, Chu Yu continued: "The ancient Egyptians believed that the heart was the most important organ of the human body, and that the heart was not only a symbol of wisdom, but also an organ responsible for thinking and understanding, so it must remain in the body. ”

Bai Yue's expression was suspicious: "Really?"

Chu Yu nodded: "In short, it's definitely not the way mummies are made, if you don't believe it, you can ask relevant experts to know." ”

"I believe in you. Bai Yuemu pondered: "But it's not to make mummies, why do you hide corpses in this way?"

"I don't know. Chu Yu analyzed: "In addition to not having a heart, there are many other doubts, if it is to make a mummy, it is impossible to keep it underground, and it is impossible to make it in such a rough and unscrupulous way." ”

After finishing speaking, Chu Yu stood up, he always felt that the sutured wound of this corpse seemed familiar, but for a while, he couldn't remember where he had seen it.

After looking at it for a long time, he couldn't see why, Chu Yu couldn't help but say: "It's better to pull the body back and let the forensic doctor carefully examine it, anyway, I can't see anything." ”

"Forensic medicine, right? Bai Yue shouted at the walkie-talkie: "Xiao Ming, Xiao Ming, where is your dead child, roll over to the old lady." ”

As soon as Bai Yue finished shouting, a small figure ran over.

The little boy was very white, with a pair of thick glasses on the bridge of his nose, a lollipop in his mouth, a face full of reluctance, and a huge school bag behind him, all of which were almost taller than the others.

Bai Yue pointed to the corpse: "Don't mess around, dissect the corpse and see if you can find something." ”

Chu Yu looked confused, looked at Xiao Ming, who looked immature and completely looked like a primary school student, and shouted: "Sister, you're not kidding, this... It's still a kid, right, and you're going to have him dissect a cadaver?"

Bai Yue smiled: "My Xiao Ming is a very good forensic doctor, don't underestimate others." ”

Xiao Ming rolled his eyes and looked at Chu Yu: "What's wrong with the child, you look down on the child?"

Chu Yu laughed: "Little friend, how old are you this year?"

"What does it have to do with you. ”

Chu Yule, this is still a bear child, and he doesn't understand politeness at all.

"Kid, how much do you usually score in exams, and what are your rankings in the class?"

In the past, when Chu Yu met someone's bear child, he would usually ask this, and he tried it repeatedly.

Who knew that Xiao Ming rolled his eyes, and asked instead of answering: "Uncle, how much is your monthly salary, have you talked about your girlfriend, do you have a house, what kind of car do you drive, and do you have the financial ability to have a second child?"

Chu Yu: "... ”

Xiao Ming pouted: "Also, I'm at the headquarters at the department level, so I'm your superior." ”

Bai Yue giggled and patted the back of Xiao Ming's head: "Don't be poor there, do business." ”

Xiao Ming sighed and took out a large number of tools from his school bag.

Chu Yu felt that he had lived in vain.

After so many years of mixing overseas, I got a high degree, and when I returned to China, I worked hard for another year, but the result was not as high as a bear child.

As Xiao Ming began to examine the corpse, Chu Yu's eyes straightened.

People's children's schoolbags are full of books and stationery boxes and the like, Xiao Ming is good, flashing cold organ knives, sharp bone scissors, craniotomy, latex gloves, and a bunch of large and small tweezers and bone forceps, and extremely skilled, just this technique, I haven't tossed dozens of corpses can't practice.

Under Chu Yu's gaze, the little man squatted on the ground, and the two little hands began to get busy.

"MALE, THE CORPSE IS 174CM LONG, THERE IS NO ABNORMAL DEVELOPMENT, AND IT IS PRELIMINARILY CONCLUDED THAT THE NUTRITION IS GOOD. ”

"The nape of the neck is purple-red, and the rest of the skin is pale and not yellowish. ”

"Body cavities, missing major organs. ”

"THE ABDOMINAL WALL IS SPLIT WITH A FAT THICKNESS OF 2CM. ”

"The time of death could not be determined. ”

After tossing the day, Xiao Ming raised his head: "It's done." ”

Bai Yue asked, "The cause of death?"

Xiao Ming pointed to the forehead of the corpse: "The living body was craniotomy to death." ”

"A live craniotomy?"

"Yes, if we preliminarily infer it, the deceased was very conscious and did not receive any local anesthesia to perform a surgical operation that was not rigorously scientific, that is, the head was opened very roughly, and the technique was extremely amateurish. Xiao Ming looked like a little adult, touched his small chin and muttered for a moment, and then continued: "This means that the deceased died in extreme fear, of course, after all, if he was craniotomy when he was conscious, anyone would be afraid. ”

"Craniotomy?" Bai Yue turned her head to look at Chu Yu: "Who is that, if you want to make mummies, do you need to open your skull?"

"No, you don't. Chu Yu explained: "According to the normal way, you only need to suck the brain out of the nose, and it will not cause any surgical wounds, and the most important thing is that in ancient Egyptian myths and legends, mummies are made to regenerate the dead, not to let the living die, and to make mummies after death, and to mummify by craniotomy during life, the two are not the same concept at all, and the cart is turned upside down." ”

Bai Yue nodded subconsciously and fell into deep thought again.

Chu Yu looked at Xiao Ming and asked, "Is the brain marrow of the corpse still there?"

"Yes, but the hypothalamus was removed. ”

"Hypothalamus?" Chu Yu touched the stubble on his chin, he always felt that a certain thought and inference seemed to flash in his mind, but now he had no clue, and it seemed that there was only one key clue away from the truth.

Xiao Ming licked two mouthfuls of lollipops, pulled Bai Yue's sleeve and asked, "Auntie, I see that this is done by a perverted murderer, and it should be under the control of the criminal police, it has nothing to do with us, right?"

"Not necessarily, I always think this thing is weird, and besides, this tunnel can't explain it. Bai Yue snatched the lollipop from Xiao Ming's mouth: "Eat candy every day, no wonder you have tooth decay." ”

Xiao Ming pursed his lips and didn't say anything.

Bai Yue thought for a moment and said, "In this way, you and Meng Yong will go down together, there are many corpses below, you can take a rough look and see if there is any difference between these corpses." ”

"How many are down there?"

"Thirty-one!"

Xiao Ming's little face completely collapsed: "So many?"

"Less nonsense, hurry up. ”

Not only Bai Yue was curious, but Chu Yu was also the same.

Like Bai Yue, Chu Yu also thought that this matter was not so simple, in addition, he also wanted to know why the stitched wound on the corpse made him feel a sense of déjà vu.

After waiting for about an hour, Xiao Ming and Meng Yong climbed up with a disgraced face.

"How is it, have you found anything?" Bai Yue asked as she wiped the dust off Xiao Ming's face with a wet towel.

Xiao Ming's little face was gloomy: "Auntie, whether this matter is a Class A incident or not, we may have to take care of it!"

Bai Yue's expression changed slightly: "Why?"

"Thirty-one corpses under the pit, died in the same way, but differently. ”

"Again, they were all craniotomy while conscious and without any local anesthesia. ”

"Also, all the corpses were removed from the hypothalamus, and when the hypothalamus was removed, it can be seen from the cutting surface that the murderer was very patient, but when other organs in the body were removed, it can be seen that the murderer was a little impatient, the cut was not very complete, and the wound suturing technique was very rough, and it was preliminarily estimated that the craniotomy and the octomy were not alone. ”

"So I think that the murderer's purpose was only to remove the hypothalamus, at least the most important purpose. ”

After taking a sip of water to moisten his throat, Xiao Ming continued: "The difference is that these people show different emotions, or states, before they die. ”

Bai Yue was confused: "What do you mean?"

"Let's put it this way, there are several corpses that have been brutally tortured when they are dying, as can be seen from the whip marks and bruises on their bodies, while the other corpses, with several small injection holes in their necks, must have been injected with some kind of hallucinogenic drug before they died, and their faces show a dull smile, while most of the corpses, their faces are very calm, and in their mouthparts, a large amount of tranquilizer residue has been found. ”

Bai Yue's eyes narrowed slightly: "You mean to say that these people show different emotions before they die, such as joy, anger, sorrow, etc.?"

"Yes, and then, when this emotion was at its peak, the hypothalamus was removed by the murderer's craniotomy. ”

Chu Yu, who had been silent, looked inexplicable, looked at the deep and dark tunnel, and slowly opened his mouth.

"The dopamine in the human body is secreted by the hypothalamus, right?"
