Chapter 421: Dance of Death
The meaning of the other party is obvious, since this person has been to Egypt recently, it is very likely to have something to do with the fake Ebola virus incident, because Libya, the base camp of "Yes Country", is on the border of Egypt, and it is very convenient to contact the people there after passing over. Liang Baoguang is not a detective, but he also knows how to infer that if that person is really involved in the attack, then it is worth following him for so many days, maybe because the operation failed and he wanted revenge, or he may have other purposes......
"Can you show me the autopsy report, if this person does have a problem, then the cause of his death will not be a simple shock of excitement. Involving his own net worth and life, and may even threaten the safety of the people around him, Liang Baoguang has to deal with it carefully.
Although the person in front of him was an internist rather than a surgeon, his eyesight would not be bad, and Dalton invited him here to ask him to help take a look, and immediately made a gesture of please, "Of course, you are an expert in diagnosis, and it should be easier to find the cause of death than to find the cause." ”
The corners of Liang Baoguang's mouth couldn't help but pull, this is not false at all, because many unusable examination methods can be used after death, such as things that need to be shown by CT or MRI can be cut directly after death, which is much more intuitive than looking at the development image.
Walking into the morgue, the medical examiner dragged one of the bodies out and checked the label, "This is it." ”
Liang Baoguang first looked at the other party's face, and after searching his memory bank, he shook his head very affirmatively, he didn't know each other, and their lives didn't intersect, "I don't know this person, and I don't have any memories of him...... You said he was working for a construction company, could you tell us which company it was?"
"Will Construction. "They all brought people to the morgue, and this bit of information is naturally not classified.
"Then there is an intersection, three years ago I took over a female patient in her 40s, who was the wife of James Weir, the president of the Will Group. "Liang Baoguang has a very strong memory, and she remembered something just by hearing the name, "At that time, other hospitals diagnosed her with early-onset Alzheimer's disease, but all drugs could not suppress the accompanying psychopathological symptoms, so she went to Mount Sinai to find me." ”
"She's not suffering from Alzheimer's, is she?" Dalton guessed.
Liang Baoguang nodded, "She has Huntington's disease, and genetic testing confirmed my diagnosis." ”
Huntington's disease, also known as the dance of death, is a very rare autosomal dominant disorder that develops in middle age with motor, cognitive and psychiatric symptoms. Although it is usually about 15 to 20 years after the onset of the disease, the patient does not die until about 15 to 20 years after the onset of the disease, because it is an incurable disease, so the patient only suffers from both physical and mental torture during this period.
The director of the Xiacheng branch was a little puzzled, "If it's just to ask you for a consultation, it shouldn't be anything." "If there was nothing else, Liang Baoguang wouldn't be like this.
Liang Baoguang showed a helpless expression, "I told the patient straightforwardly after I diagnosed the results, but James Weir thought afterwards that I should lie to his wife, saying that it was just Alzheimer's disease." Soon after, his son poisoned his mother with potassium cyanide, and then committed suicide by swallowing a gun at his mother's bedside, leaving a suicide note saying that he did not want to see his mother's tortured despair and wanted her to be freed. ”
Even if he could predict the outcome, Liang Baoguang still wouldn't change the way he did things, telling the patient what he should tell the patient, and concealing the cause or other messy things, he didn't even have the slightest interest, because that kind of self-deception was meaningless.
"What a tragedy. Detective Dalton couldn't help but feel a little emotional, standing in Liang Baoguang's position, he just did his job, but the patient's family is likely to turn self-blame into hatred for him in extreme pain, after all, people are always good at forgiving themselves and blaming others.
"That's true, but the responsibility isn't on me, right? Liang Baoguang spread his hands, this matter has nothing to do with him, but James Weir suddenly lost his wife and eldest son, and it is inevitable that he will hold a grudge against him, "He once sued me, but he lost the case as a matter of course, and due to some irrational behavior, the court also issued an injunction against him, not allowing him to come within 200 meters of me." ”
Dalton is very glad that Liang Baoguang was invited to the police station today, otherwise they may have to work hard to investigate these things, "So James Weir has a motive to send someone to follow you, and now the key to the problem is this person's death, if there is another hidden reason, our investigation direction may need to be changed." ”
"This man certainly didn't die, the body was soaked in warm water for at least three to four hours, and then it was carried out and put on the bed, and even an idiot should know that he killed him. Liang Baoguang pointed to a line on the autopsy report and asked the forensic doctor to come and take a look, "There are not many stomach contents, and the intestines are empty, so it is obvious that the evidence was destroyed by soaking in water after poisoning." ”
Three to four hours after death, the sphincter opens and automatically defecates and urinate, and the biggest flaw is that there is no trace on the deceased's bed, indicating that someone has cleaned the body. The most convenient way in the hotel is to put the corpse in the bathtub, soaking in hot water to ensure body temperature, although the intestinal peristalsis stops after death, but the digestion and decomposition function that relies on microbial activity is still good, as long as the poison with a short half-life is used, there will be no hand tail.
After explaining, Liang Baoguang pinched his chin and stood for a while, and suddenly pointed to the head of the corpse, "Shave his hair, and then check the ankles and armpits and other places that are easy to ignore, there should be a small bleeding point." Sure enough, the corpse had a small needle hole in its neck, which could easily be mistaken for a pimple caused by folliculitis.
Everyone present was shocked, the professional forensic doctor didn't see the problem, and Liang Baoguang just casually glanced at the autopsy report and found out the abnormality, which made Dalton unconsciously take a step away from him, this kind of person is simply rational to the point of perversion, "We will make a wanted notice for the woman who appeared in CCTV, before the case develops further, please pay attention to your own safety, we have reason to suspect that James Weir will be unfavorable to you." ”
Virus culture is simple, just find a patient to take a sample, and if this incident is not an attack orchestrated by "Yes Country", but a retaliation by James Weir, then it is better to explain. The other party learned that he was going to come to New York to purchase medical equipment and inspect the goods at the Presbyterian Hospital, and calculated the time to send the virus vector to the door, he has the identity of an infectious disease expert, and he will inevitably participate in first aid, and when the time comes, he can die by doing something casually.
