Chapter 30: The Dead Are Gone

The people around Nan Zhiqiao were shocked.

Although Ye Zhenzhen was a little surprised by Nan Zhiqiao's decision, she understood Nan Zhiqiao's mood of wanting to find the cause of Dr. Mu's death, so when she heard that Nan Zhiqiao was going to dissect Dr. Mu's body, she didn't stop it.

Professor Bavar reacted very loudly and asked in a shocking voice, "What, Mr. Nan, you want to dissect Dr. Mu's body?"

Nan Zhiqiao did not answer Professor Bavar's rhetorical question, and all his attention was on Dr. Mu.

Seeing that Nan Zhiqiao ignored him, Professor Bavar continued: "The corpse cannot be dissected at will without the consent of the deceased's predecessor or the consent of the family. ”

Nan Zhiqiao glanced at Professor Bavar and said, "Now that the epidemic of infectious diseases is not completely over, whether it is due to epidemic considerations or unexplained deaths, the autopsy should be performed to confirm." ”

Professor Bavar wanted to say something, but when he saw Nan Zhiqiao's resolute eyes, he swallowed all the words back.

——

At Nan Zhiqiao's request, Dr. Sky arranged a location for the autopsy to be conducted in an isolated autopsy room at the Kenema Government Hospital that afternoon.

Nan Zhiqiao is the main knife, and Ye Zhenzhen records.

Nan Zhiqiao has had forensic experience before, has dissected many corpses, and is very skilled, but this is the first time to face someone who has intersecting feelings before his death, and the mood during the autopsy is different from before, and only people with strong psychological qualities can face it.

Follow the normal autopsy steps.

Because the cause of Dr. Mu's death was suspected to be bleeding from important organs due to low platelets, the focus of the autopsy was on each important organ.

The first is the brain, the skull is opened, the brain tissue is cut, and unexpectedly, everything is normal, there are no signs of bleeding in the brain.

The heart was examined, the heart was intact, there was no bleeding, important large blood vessels, and there was no major bleeding.

Examination of the spleen, gastrointestinal tract, respiratory system, ......

Dr. Mu examined all the organs, and everything was normal, and there was no heavy bleeding.

The cause of Dr. Mu's death was not the previously speculated bleeding of important organs due to thrombocytopenia.

So what could be the cause of Dr. Mu's death?

Nan Zhiqiao looked at the corpse with a calm gaze, and what was calmer than his gaze was the current mind.

Ruling out the first speculation of death, Nan no Qiao began to revisit the corpse.

The corpse's face was slightly swollen, bruised and cyanotic, with petechial hemorrhage under the skin.

The corpse's lungs are swollen, and the blood is dark red and fluid.

The corpse's brain, heart, liver, and other vital organs were slightly bruised.

Nan Zhiqiao said what he had discovered, and Ye Zhenzhen was writing the side.

In the interval between Nan Zhiqiao's pauses, Ye Zhenzhen looked at the records on the paper and muttered in a low voice: "Isn't the cyanosis of the face, the congestion of internal organs, the petechiae-type hemorrhage, and the dark red flow of blood, aren't these four features the autopsy features of the deceased who were mechanically suffocated?"

Nan Zhiqiao: "Yes, but modern forensic science no longer recognizes these four characteristics as a sign peculiar to the death of mechanical asphyxiation, because these similar phenomena can also be found in the corpses of deaths from various natural diseases. ”

Nan Zhiqiao paused slightly, and then said, "However, what you just said also reminded me that mechanical asphyxia may also be one of the causes of Dr. Mu's death. ”

"Mechanical suffocation?!Could it be that Dr. Mu was murdered?"

Ye Zhenzhen blurted out the question in her heart.

Nan Zhiqiao was stunned for a moment, Zhen Zhen said that this possibility, he really didn't think about it.

When he saw Dr. Mu's body, Nan Zhiqiao only thought that it might be the sequelae of the new virus, and other possible causes of death, but he really didn't think about it.

However, this is the first time that Dr. Mu has come to Sierra Leone, and he has no grievances with others, so who will be poisoned?

Or maybe Dr. Mu just died of a natural disease.

In order to determine what was in mind, Nan Zhiqiao examined Dr. Mu's body again, focusing on whether there were any external injuries and the appearance of mechanical asphyxia.

There are bruises on the mouth and nose, and the nasal bone is fractured.

The nasal bone is fractured, which indicates that Dr. Mu's nose was attacked by external forces before his death.

Check your nostrils again.

Nan Zhiqiao used tweezers to pinch a thin velvet thread from Dr. Mu's nostrils, like the velvet thread on a towel or clothes.

Check your nails again.

Nan Zhiqiao frowned slightly, and found that there was a blood-colored substance in the nails of Dr. Mu's two fingernails, and he used tweezers to pick out the things between the nails, which turned out to be bloody flesh!

Summarizing various phenomena, Nan Zhiqiao concluded:

Dr. Mu was controlled by someone before his death, and in the process of struggling, he scratched the flesh and skin of the other party, and Dr. Mu was finally covered by the other party's mouth and nose and mechanically suffocated to death.

Nan Zhiqiao and Ye Zhenzhen were all fluctuating in their hearts.

Dr. Mu did not die from the sequelae of the new virus, but from homicide!

Nan Zhiqiao stitched up Dr. Mu's body, dressed the body, and carefully sorted it out, so that there were no traces of the autopsy, so that it was okay to send the body back to China and hand it over to his family.

Now it is more important to find the killer of Dr. Mu.

Nan Zhiqiao called the police.

A foreign expert died, and the local police attached great importance to it, and Nan Zhiqiao also joined the investigation.

Dr. Mu was killed at around 1 a.m., when very few people could enter and leave the government hospital, except for doctors, nurses, nurses, and hospitalized patients.

The police quickly investigated and finally targeted a male cleaner at the hospital.

He was a local black man, in his 40s, named Dait, who had a history of theft, and he was in charge of cleaning the ward the night Dr. Mu was killed, and he never appeared in the hospital again after Dr. Mu's death.

The police found the home of the cleaner, Dait, and broke down the door, finding him dead in the house.

The police found Dr. Mu's purse from Dait's home, as well as a towel used to clean at the hospital, which was found to be of the same material as the one found in Dr. Mu's nostrils, and was stained with anesthetics.

Nail scratches were found on Dait's body, which were found to be from the same person as the flesh in Dr. Muk's nails.

The cause of Dait's death was actually an overdose of alcoholism and alcoholism.

The investigation of the case made it clear that Dr. Mu was killed by an alcoholic for money.

Although the case is over and Dr. Mu's family has been explained, Nan Zhiqiao feels very uncomfortable.

Nan Zhiqiao blamed himself very much, at that time, he asked Dr. Mu to lead a team to Sierra Leone to conduct a clinical trial of the Ebola vaccine, but he did not protect him, first infected him with a new virus, and his life hung by a thread.

Nan Zhiqiao personally escorted Dr. Mu's body back to China.

Dr. Mu's family members appeared in front of Nan Zhiqiao in grief, and Nan Zhiqiao's tense nerves were touched again.

Unexpectedly, this trip to West Africa ended in this way.

The dead are gone, the living move forward!
