Chapter 19: Leeches

His words amused An Zhi, and when he saw her smile happily, the novice assistant also giggled. Maybe the laughter of the two people was a little out of place, the male forensic doctor glared at him very unhappily, the frightened little assistant hurriedly lowered his head, and An Zhi on the side was also so frightened that he stuck out his tongue and whispered: "Your master is unhappy?" ”

The little assistant said more carefully: "The master will not be unhappy, and others are very good." He blames us for laughing and not respecting the dead enough! The dead are great, keep respecting them! ”

An Zhi let out an "oh" and didn't speak again, watching intently as the forensic doctor moved the body. After a while, when the male forensic doctor turned around to get the autopsy report, the little assistant continued to speak.

He explained to her in a low voice: "That suffocation sign refers to the signs of suffocation of the corpse due to the retention of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the body. Because the time of asphyxia and the physical condition of the deceased are different, the signs of asphyxia will be different for each deceased. Usually, the longer the process of asphyxia, the more obvious the signs of asphyxia. ”

"Thank you, you're so good, remember so many things! By the way, and what does the medical examiner mean by that drowning? Does it mean that people inhale water in the body? An Zhimao said suddenly

The male assistant whispered: "That's pretty much what it means, to be precise, drowning refers to the liquid that drowns people, which can generally be divided into water, oil, and so on!" Of course, it's generally about water, and you're right. ”

An Zhi gave a thumbs up approvingly, the two of them looked at each other and smiled, and then they listened to the forensic doctor speak again.

He looked at the autopsy report in his hand and said, "By the way, these three corpses have another characteristic, that is, the corpse spots are light!" ”

"Oh? I remember when they were found, the report said that the deceased had pale skin all over his body and there was not a single trace of blood in his body! The corpse is caused by excessive blood loss, which caused the shallow corpse spots, right? Ning Yi had to ask.

The medical examiner said: "Yes, because the blood in the body of the deceased has disappeared, and the red blood cells in the blood have been lost, and it is impossible for people to form corpse spots after death." In other words, the three deceased had lost a lot of blood before their deaths. ”

"So, the three of them, did they drown or bleed to death?" Fan Zichao looked very weak, and he asked in a puzzled tone.

The forensic doctor rubbed his brows, looked at the three corpses and said, "This is strange, these two causes of death led to death!" It's strange that you guys came over and looked at their bodies. ”

The forensic doctor lifted the white sheet from the corpse, pointed to the limbs and neck of the deceased, and said, "Do you see that?" There are many wounds that are arranged vertically and horizontally, very densely and messily. You see me wipe it carefully, you have to look closely, have you found it? There are many small gaps in the soft tissues of their limbs, forehead and neck. ”

Ning Yi said coldly: "These gaps, are they lacerations formed after death?" What about bite marks? ”

"The skin around the wound is a little curled, and there is also a little obvious life reaction at the fractured soft tissue, which is an injury that was formed before death," the medical examiner said. Moreover, these wound bite marks are messy and are mainly laceration wounds. I took the slices and looked under a magnifying glass and found that there were tiny tooth marks on the soft tissues, like tiny fangs, not like a wound caused by a mouse or a large beast! ”

"Tiny tints? Could it be an insect? Ning Yi had to ask.

The medical examiner frowned and said, "Just looking at the wound is a very small hole, and from the appearance, it cannot be judged that it was caused by something. However, the possibility of insects is very high. ”

While Ning Yide and Fan Zichao were still looking at the corpses closely, An Zhi continued to ask the novice assistant beside him: "What is a laceration wound?" ”

"A laceration is a blunt action on the surface of the human body, resulting in a tear in the skin and subcutaneous tissues due to a sharp pulling or twisting action," he explains. Generally very fast-moving objects, such as moving vehicles, moving machines, running horses, or high-speed running instruments, can easily cause such injuries when pulling the human body. ”

An Zhi nodded admiringly, and at this time the male forensic doctor added: "A laceration is an open injury of the human body, and most of the wound edges of this kind of injury are not neat, and the wound area is also very large, which is prone to infection. Most of the wound edges caused by knives are very neat. ”

Ning Yide said: "Dry drowning, uneven wound edges, messy bite marks, could it be that they were pressed headfirst down in the water, and there were many small insects on their bodies biting and sucking blood, which caused the situation in front of them?" ”

"The conjecture of the police force after reading the practice report is similar to Professor Ning's idea, but without fingerprints and clues, it is not easy to find evidence!" The medical examiner said with a sigh.

Ning Yide asked in a cold voice, "Isn't there any clue about the place where the corpse occurred?" ”

The forensic doctor nodded and said, "No, the police team rummaged through the moat, and even the frogmen were sent out, but they didn't find anything, only these three white-wrapped corpses." ”

"What about the Shroud?" An Zhi asked.

The medical examiner said: "Like the Shroud of Vena's assistant before, the most ordinary snakeskin bag, the most ordinary rope, and the knot way is not special at all. ”
