Chapter 513: Blizzard Mountain Villa Murder (8)
Kevin is indeed a veteran police officer, but due to his age, he has retired at home.
At this time, Old Man Kevin also received a call from Sheriff George of the police station, and on the phone, Sheriff George said that because the road was different, let Kevin check the body first.
After all, Kevin is a retired medical examiner who has worked diligently for decades, and Sheriff George trusts him very much.
After waiting for more than an hour, McGovern finally delivered the body.
Kevin told Sheriff George about his initial examination of the body, and McGovern let out a long sigh of relief and handed Kevin the hot potato of the corpse.
Kevin carried the body to a wooden table in his house and began to examine the body.
Kevin muttered to himself while inspecting, "I don't have any special dissecting instruments, so I can only judge a big ......."
McGovern nodded, looking at him nervously.
The left chest of the deceased, that is, the location of the heart, could not find a complete piece of skin at all, and a large hole had been dug in the central part!
And the heart of the deceased, sure enough, was not in the chest cavity......
"Who is so ruthless! It's so miserable that you actually took out your heart!" Kevin said with a frown, shaking his head.
Kevin broke the corpse's hands, pinched the corpse's feet, and then poked his fingers at various parts of the corpse: "It's so stiff!"
McGovern nodded: "Yes, especially in this icy and snowy environment, it is strange that it has been dead for so long, it is not hard!"
"The corpse spots are obvious, the acupressure is not completely faded, and the corpse stiffness is very strong. Kevin opened the corpse's eyelids with his hand and carefully observed the deceased's eyes: "The cornea is slightly cloudy. ”
At this time, Kevin stopped what he was doing, muttered for a moment, and said, "I don't have the dissection tools here, and I can't determine the time of death by 'the degree to which the stomach digests food' - so I can only judge an approximate time, which is not particularly precise. ”
McGovern immediately asked, "Mr. Kevin, what is your answer?"
Kevin thought for a moment and replied: "I still have some experience in judging the time of death of the corpse in the snow, after all, I used to be a forensic doctor in Alaska! I can conclude that the deceased died between two and four o'clock yesterday afternoon, and I can't give the detailed time frame......
When McGovern heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Well, yesterday from two o'clock to four o'clock, I didn't wake up from a coma at that time!"
Kevin smiled and nodded, "Yes, you're not a murderer." I happened to save you during that time, and I have been by your side, and I can be your time witness. ”
McGovern said thoughtfully: "I have some doubts about the remaining people in Cook Hills, since we have a time frame for death, then we can investigate the alibi......"
Kevin was noncommittal and continued to examine the body: "Now let me see what the exact cause of death of the deceased was?"
After a closer examination, Kevin suddenly sighed, and then lowered his head in contemplation, as if he had encountered some problem.
McGovern asked, "Mr. Kevin, how did he die?"
Kevin raised his head, glanced at McGovern, and then said with a frown: "The corpse has no obvious fatal injuries on the whole body except for the large wound on the chest, and it is obvious that he died from this injury in the chest." ”
After a pause, Kevin then pointed to Gibson's chest and said, "The window on the chest, the wound edge is neat, the wound angle is sharp, there is no tear, and the wound is smooth, and it was obviously dug up by the murderer after death." There were no other wounds on the surface of the corpse other than here, so the fatal wound must have been here. ”
McGovern bowed slightly: "In other words, the murderer first killed the deceased in the chest with a sharp object, and then used tools such as knives to dig a big hole in the chest?"
Kevin nodded: "Yes, and the murderer has a certain amount of anatomical knowledge, and there is no mud and water when he digs up the chest cavity, and this kind of wound is not like a layman's doing." ”
After examining the body, Kevin filled out a detailed autopsy report.
There were a lot of blanks in Kevin's house for this kind of autopsy report, so he quickly found one, filled it out and took a picture with his mobile phone, and then sent the picture version of the autopsy report to Sheriff George's mailbox through his mobile phone mailbox.
After doing all this, Kevin breathed a long sigh of relief, not half tired, but a little excited.
Once many retirees retire, they have a sense of loss, and they are not used to the work they have done all their lives. Now Kevin is the same, and now he is back to doing the familiar forensic work, and he is very happy.
McGovern saw Kevin pass the autopsy report to Sheriff George, and thought to himself that there was nothing to do with himself here, so it was better to go back sooner - the murderer was most likely Robert or Daniel, or even ...... Maybe Kelly couldn't tell, but if she stared at them, she might find something.
McGovern has been hunting for many years and has a gun with him, so he is not particularly afraid of the murderer, but has the idea of catching the murderer.
So, after McGovern said goodbye to Old Man Kevin, he turned back to Cook Hill.
……
There are two flowers, one on each branch.
After Lin Lei came out of Cook Hill Villa early in the morning, he went straight to the pass where the avalanche occurred yesterday.
After some searching, Lin Lei could not find any other path to lead to the village, so he could only take the collapsed area. But today's situation is different from yesterday, the snow has stopped for a long time, it should be frozen more tightly, Lin Lei only needs to pay a little attention, with Lin Lei's ability to survive in the wild, he has the confidence to pass through the collapsed road section.
You can't take any risks yesterday, the snow hasn't frozen yesterday, so it's very dangerous.
When Lin Lei came to the avalanche area, he saw a large group of people shoveling snow on the opposite side, and there were a lot of people on the side of the road-
Squad car!
That's right, it's the police car!
Lin Lei's heart began to sink......
Sure enough, is there something going on here?
Did something happen to the people at Cook Hills?
Yesterday, a few people at Cook Hill didn't return for the night, could it be-
Although Lin Lei could see the figure on the opposite side of the collapsed road, it was very difficult to get to the opposite side.
Since someone is clearing the snow formed by the landslide, Lin Lei is also happy to be idle, just sit in place and wait quietly.
As long as the road is open, ask the people over there, and don't you know everything?
After waiting for more than two hours, it was not until almost 11 o'clock at noon that the road was cleared, and the police on the opposite side finally came to Lin Lei's side.
In charge of security in the neighborhood is the Meektown Police Station, where there has been no homicide for a long time, so it is Sergeant George who leads a team to the scene of the murder.
Sergeant George is in his early fifties, not tall, with small eyes, but he gives people a very powerful feeling.
George was still wondering why an Asian-looking man was crouching on the side of the road, as if waiting for them......
Lin Lei was very concerned about the case, so he directly introduced his identity - it doesn't matter what CIPO superintendent is, the people of the United States are not a small country in Southeast Asia, they don't value these, but Lin Lei said that he won the title of "detective", and Sheriff George's attitude immediately changed, and he happily invited Lin Lei to "help solve the case".
Lin Lei naturally looked like he was "stubborn and willing", and happily agreed-
Now that there was a murder and Lin Lei was near the scene, the murderer really poured blood mold for eight lifetimes......
