Chapter VIII: Authority

[[[CP|W:709|H:479|A:L]]] "Please wait a minute! I haven't checked your documents yet! ”

Today is definitely an abnormal day for Dr. Knox, because this afternoon, when he was about to get off work, two oriental girls with long knives on their waists and hips suddenly ran to the hospital he was in charge of.

The purpose was naturally for him to open the corpse cabinet in the morgue and for them to re-examine the body.

"This is our pass, can we go in and see the corpses now?"

"The Special Investigation Team of the Military Department...... Is General Estes in charge of the unit? ”

Although he said that he wanted to check the documents, in fact, Knox didn't take this too seriously at first, he just thought that the fact that the two girls were coming to check the body was too exaggerated.

But I didn't expect the other party to really have a pass.

"If you've already done that."

The red-eyed girl at the head pointed to the freezer in the morgue.

"Please push out the bodies of more than fifty well-preserved guards and gendarmes who died in the fighting, and we will inspect them."

When Knox heard more than fifty corpses, he thought his ears must be broken.

"I'm sorry, but how many corpses do you say you're going to see?"

Knox asked repeatedly

"Fifty-four bodies killed in battle, bodies of well-preserved guards."

is still the voice with almost no emotional fluctuations and a handsome face with facial paralysis, which makes it difficult to understand why such a cute oriental girl can't have more emotional fluctuations and facial expressions?

"I see, fifty-four corpses, please come with me......"

Looking at the girl's ordinary but unusually serious attitude, Knox knew that he was going to work late today.

―――――――――――――― morgue――――――――――――――

"Although the corpses have been frozen, most of the deaths are miserable, listen to me, be mentally prepared before starting."

In a short time, all fifty-four corpses were pushed out of the freezer, and the morgue, which had originally come out of the ground, now looked even more cold and ominous under the cooling effect of dozens of corpses.

Although he was wearing a long-sleeved white coat and trousers, Knox still felt that it was biting cold, but the two girls wearing only skirts seemed to stand together without anything and prepared to start the autopsy.

"Let's get started, starting with the first corpse."

However, when the autopsy began next to the corpse, the two girls reacted and composure much better than Knox expected...... Quite a lot

"Sister, look, there's a scratch on the face of a man who is obviously trained in this place."

"Well, there's also here, although the internal organs of the body have been burst, the wounds of the external injuries are basically preserved."

'Oh my God! ’

Knox believed that he had never seen such a horrific scene again, except in Ishbal. Two young girls were in the cold morgue, in the cold air, without any masks or gloves, so they directly pointed their hands at the tragically dead corpse and pointed at you and me.

"So what do you think this wound is about? Was it also caused by the explosion and death? ”

"No, I think it was caused by the body falling and hitting the ground when it fell."

And the two girls seem to be discussing whether a dress fits and whether a doll is satisfied.

………………………………

"Autopsy?"

Hearing Estes say this, Makarridge asked in surprise

"Is it the corpses of the guards and gendarmes who were killed from the beginning?"

"Yes."

Estes, who sat in front of the bed, replied in the affirmative

"It's the corpses that have been examined."

"Isn't that pointless?"

…………………………

"It's useless for you to look like this."

After watching the two girls look at a corpse and study it for a while, Knox interjected

"The body has been examined by the medical examiner of the gendarmerie and me, the coroner. There are no clues worth paying attention to. ”

Although he said so, just looking at the two girls who were bolder and more familiar with the way they were playing with corpses than himself, he knew that he might have met an expert today

…………………………

"Meaningless? How is it possible~"

Hearing Makarridge's question, Estes smiled without worry

"I never do meaningless things~"

"But didn't you say that too? Coroners and medical examiners have already experienced corpses. ”

Then that makes even less sense, right? Reasons for another post-mortem

"Autopsy is a technical job, a medical knowledge and book on the surface, but in fact most of it is based on practical experience and the craftsmanship of understanding the human body."

Estes, who knew his beloved black and red eyes, knew very well that they were good at this kind of thing

"The purpose of the coroner's work and research is to verify the identity and cause of pathological death, and the medical examiner's job is to restore the scene of the victim's death and the cause of death, and what we need to know in this work is neither the identity of the deceased nor the pathological cause of death, and certainly not how the victim was killed. What we need to know is what method the other party uses, what kind of mentality, what kind of skill kills the other party? And these murderous techniques and advanced methods of killing are not the areas in which forensic doctors and coroners are good at. ”

Let the coroner and the medical examiner understand the mind of the murderer? It is impossible for them to restore the other party's killing methods and killing mentality, because it is difficult for them to understand the murderer's heart, and naturally it is impossible to understand what kind of effort the murderer used when he killed someone? What tactics and techniques.

Because they themselves do not understand martial arts, nor do they know the art of fighting and killing.

And the people of Estes, there are two people who know these things best.

……………………

"Those people in the gendarmerie don't understand the exquisite killing techniques and martial arts in this world." Listening to Dr. Knox's advice, Black Hitomi and Red Hitomi turned over the frozen corpse for examination.

"If their skills had really reached the clue on the corpse of GuΓ² and found the prisoner with extraordinary reach, the two of us would not be standing here."

Red Hitomi is insinuating that he and his sister killed officers in the central government a few years ago.

"yes, so far, there are no clues, and sure enough, doctors like us still don't know about those things, but ......"

As he spoke, he looked at the two girls with some suspicion.

"Do you really understand those complicated things?"

……………………

"Do your subordinates really know the fighting skills of that skilled Scar Man?"

Although I know that General Estes is a very brave general, but for this kind of thing......

"Please have faith in this~"

With a confident and proud smirk, Estes foreshadowed the victory of the killer sisters

"As long as it is in the killing methods and martial arts techniques of the countries around Dragouma, there is no one they do not know and do not understand. Because ......"

………………

"Yes, of course we know the information about the killers left behind by these corpses."

As she said this, Red Hitomi suddenly looked up at Dr. Knox. The eyes were bright red and red, and then there seemed to be a reflection of the groans and wriggles of countless dead people and those killed in hell.

"As long as it is the traces left by the murderer, there is no problem, no matter how the murderer hides and fakes to cover up, there is nothing that we cannot understand and interpret, because ......"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€¦β€¦β€

The temperature in the gloomy morgue seemed to become even colder under the gaze of the ghost-haunted girl, causing Knox, who thought he had seen hell a long time ago, to fall deeper into the eighteenth layer of hell again. Let the cold sweat on his back continue to flow.

"In this field, we are the authorities."
