Chapter 341: Re-extrapolation
JO nodded, his face condensed: "I understand, you guys wait here for a while, I'll go outside and make a call." With that, she walked out of the gloomy morgue, leaving only Ogata and Shiho.
With a hint of cold air in the air and a corpse nearby, no one would feel comfortable. But the exception is that Ogata and Shiho are standing face to face in this kind of scene that makes the scalps of others numb.
"Looks like I've got the right person." Shiho said.
Ogata shook his head and looked at her, "I think no matter where you are dating, as long as you can get to know me, it's a good start." β
Shiho was silent and hesitated, "There should always be a reason, right?" β
"You should be clear." Ogata's gaze was imprinted on Shiho's face and he said softly.
Shiho didn't say anything, and her eyes flashed with complicated fluctuations: "We"
"Yes." Ogata looked at her solemnly: "From strange to familiar, I will be very patient." β
Shiho looked at this man, she was suddenly a little confused, and she didn't know what attitude she should use to deal with a sudden guy
JO has informed her superiors and it has been approved. This ordinary case, which was originally defined as a 'natural death' and the cause of death was a 'heart attack', was overturned, and a new investigation and evidence collection were launched!
And this qiΔ is all because of Ogata's sentence 'Judging from the perspective of forensics, she died from his killing'!
The United States is a country that pays attention to law and justice, and I believe that no one doubts this. So the re-investigation of the case, although some kind of Cheng dΓΉ made JO offend the coroner who made the death report from the forensic identification department. But for the sake of the 'truth'. Bring to justice the murderers involved in the case. All the qiΔ becomes extremely necessary.
Half an hour later, in this JO's office, detectives from the Investigation Section, coroners from the Forensic Identification Section, and informants from the Forensics Department would all come here to listen to Ogatata's reasoning.
Obviously, there is nothing in the case itself.
But overturn this qiΔ. It takes a lot of self-confidence!
"Ogata, don't let me down." JO sighed and handed two cups of steaming coffee to Ogata and Shiho, who were sitting in their office chairs.
Ogata took the hot coffee, sniffed it gently, said "thank you", and replied, "I'm pretty sure of my reasoning." β
"What about the evidence?" JO is not concerned with the inferences that Ogata has in his mouth, but substantial evidence to substantiate his own claims. You must know that here the evidence comes first, and no other theory can be convincing.
Ogata just nodded. There is not much explanation about JO.
Shiho suddenly said, "The coffee tastes good. β
"Thank you." JO looked at her, looking away from Ogata
As the minutes passed. In JO's office, there were four or five police officers. Some of them wore police uniforms, some were just plain clothes, but each of them had a temperamental character.
These people Ogata hadn't seen before, and Shiho was even more, so the two couldn't interject.
Looking at the acquaintance between JO and them, it should be an acquaintance who has been in contact.
Through their conversations, Ogata also knows that they correspond to their respective departments.
Among them, the coroner of the forensic examination department, a middle-aged man with curly hair and a typical European face, looked at Jo with an unhappy expression, as if the woman was casually questioning the death report made by their department.
JO tried to explain, trying to paraphrase what Ogata had said to her before to dispel his frustration.
"Is this kid talking nonsense?" The coroner's middle-aged man turned his head and looked at Ogata with contempt, his eyes full of annoyance.
You must know that he has been engaged in this industry for more than ten years, and it is the first time that he has been questioned, and he is a stinky little ghost who does not even have the professional qualifications of a 'forensic doctor'.
Okai was full of disdainful questioning of this 'senior', but he was silent.
Because he knew very well that once he spoke, no matter what he said, he would anger this man. Because every profession has its own inviolable field. And forensic medicine is that no matter what, outsiders can't question their judgment!
Because the opportunity to judge, for each deceased, is only once.
Deviations and errors in the judgment made are meant to be a dereliction of duty in the forensic work.
"Russell, change your temper. This kid still has some skills. I've heard about him from my colleagues, and it seems that he has helped you solve a lot of cases. An investigator from the Investigation Department wearing a police uniform patted the middle-aged coroner's shoulder and reluctantly persuaded him.
Ogata did have many contacts with the New York Police Department, but none of the officers who came to the office were familiar with each other than JO. So as the first time I met, the detective of the investigation department helped him speak, and he nodded at him with a little gratitude.
JO shrugged his shoulders at this time, looked at a few people and said, "Everyone has arrived, according to what I said on the phone, as long as Yusuke Ogata can provide you with convincing inferences and evidence, then the case records made before, please make a new investigation." β
Everyone said that there was no objection, only Russell, as a forensic examiner, was the most face-saving at the moment.
After all, once the reversal of the case is established, then the department that made the death report will bear the first responsibility after the fact.
"Well, I'll be interested in seeing if this kid has any special arguments to overturn the verdict of this case." Russell held back his anger and lowered his voice.
Ogata didn't want to make an enemy for some reason, and he just kept quiet in the face of Russell's doubts and disdain.
"I'll leave it to you next, I think you should have a general idea to let the truth of the case surface, right?" JO looked at Ogata.
Ogata nodded and said lightly, "Since it's the closest to the morgue, I think everyone's first stop." There it is! β
Shiho met one and the school when he came. A completely different Yusuke Ogata. Although gentle and humble. But he always felt that something fiery seemed to be burning powerfully around him.
"I'm a medical examiner!"
The phrase that Ogata often said came to his mind sounded in his head, and Shiho looked at his side face in a daze.
And what about herself?
I studied biology and really just wanted to be an inventor in the field of biology, or a pharmacist?
No, desperately reading books, desperately studying. Being admitted to this Columbia University, which many people envy, is in addition to hard work
She didn't find the same love in herself as Ogata!
In the morgue where the temperature drops, everyone is nervous. It's not just the temperature, it's the atmosphere, and the female corpse, which dominates the vision.
"Boy, I have carefully examined all the features and appearances of this corpse, and I am very sure that the cause of her death was sudden death caused by a sudden heart attack." Russell is a coroner. So he didn't care about the horror of the corpse, and stood in the opposite position on the side of Kao. Sandwiched between them was the corpse.
Others, comparatively, are farther away.
Although the United States pays attention to science and openness, the corpse is evil, and there are subconscious hints that have been understood in horror movies of any country.
Hearing Russell's words, Ogata nodded, and said in a professional tone: "The corpse's corpse manifestation state does show the process of natural death. No signs of third-party blows were found on the deceased's body, nor did an examination of the walls of the mouth and lips reveal any toxic ingestion. Drowning and electric shocks are the causes of death that are not eliminated by screening. Therefore, Dr. Russell believes that the cause of death of the deceased can be more than 80%, which constitutes a common sudden death. From the medical records of the deceased, it is not difficult to find that she had a history of heart attack. It is easy to link sudden death and heart disease, and complete the inference on the death report. β
When Russell heard this, his face turned cold, and his eyes glared at Ogata: "What eighty percent possibility?" Didn't your mentor teach you that a woman with a history of heart disease dies suddenly, regardless of time and place? The number of sudden deaths from heart disease is increasing in the United States, and even around the world, so it is unacceptable to others, but in the eyes of me, the coroner, it is a very ordinary phenomenon. Since the day I took office, I have been in contact with the deceased on a daily basis about the cause of death in this area, so I am certain that this body was a simple sudden death. As for the possibility of him killing, it's just a guess that you, a little ghost who has not entered society, don't know the height of the sky. β
He didn't take Ogata seriously, because in the forensic profession, knowledge comes second, and experience comes first!
A forensic science student who hadn't even graduated had annoyed him by flaunting his capital in front of a coroner who had handled hundreds of deaths.
JO stepped forward and patted Russell on the shoulder.
Russell was certain that his autopsy was not missing, and that the death report was the result of inferences based on the facts.
"I know." Xu replied calmly to Russell's questioning.
Ignoring Russell's eyes, he knew that facts speak louder than words, and as a forensic doctor, he had to make sure that his mind was really as calm as the doctors at the operating table who operated on the patient.
His gaze fell on the corpse and said softly: "Usually a history of heart disease does lead to sudden death in some specific situations. As for the explanation for this, sudden death is generally considered to be death within 24 hours from onset to death. Sudden death is caused by the underlying functions of the human body as well as the acute dysfunction of vital organs. Among them, sudden death caused by diseases of the cardiovascular system, central nervous system and respiratory system is the most common. In particular, sudden cardiac death caused by heart disease is the highest incidence of sudden death. β
"The occurrence of sudden death is sudden, unexpected and abrupt, and there are many kinds, which will bring certain distress to our forensic practitioners." Ogata's gaze swept over Russell, and seeing that he did not interrupt him, he continued to speak relatively calmly: "Most of the victims were young and healthy, and their sudden death did not precede any warning or only mild discomfort, and they did not attract enough attention from themselves and their families. Sudden death occurs in a very short period of time from the onset of symptoms to death, which can range from falling to the ground or even dying in sleep. β
Therefore, as a young woman in her early twenties, the deceased suffered sudden death due to heart organ disease, which is also a reasonable judgment and inference. However, "
Ogata's gaze lifted and slowly moved from the corpse to Russell, who was standing opposite, his eyes firm: "Too much experience is sometimes right and wrong!" β
"What do you mean?" Russell stared at him.
"Patterned." Ogata doesn't want to offend people, especially his peers, but the other party's attitude is blunt, and it's hard to offend himself.
"Because of too much contact with post-mortem cases, the director's own judgment has a 'planned' choice, and the corpse phenomenon of the deceased is consistent with the causes of death that he has been exposed to, so it is planned to be 'sudden death' under the list of 'natural death'. Let the result become a death inference in the service of the process. β
Seeing that Russell wanted to refute, Ogata didn't give him a chance: "In the case of sudden death, there are significant corpse spots, dark red fluidity of blood, visible bleeding spots in the bulbar eyelid conjunctiva, Tadiao's spots under the membrane of internal organs, and so on. These are all judgments involved in the field of forensics, and I think they may sound complicated to outsiders, but Dr. Russell must have followed these judgments as the core of his reasoning about the corpse. There's nothing wrong with that."
"However, these changes are not specific, and many suffocated and poisoned corpses have such changes. Therefore, it is difficult to determine the cause of death from the autopsy and autopsy alone, so I call the result of such a judgment only '80 percent' probable, no, I should say that it is correct. Ogata gradually began to talk eloquently, ignoring Russell's attitude and paying full attention to the young man.
JO goes through the same scene again, it was, and still is, this man called Yusuke Ogata, who always brings surprises!
"Therefore, the inferences and judgments about the integrity of this corpse cannot be roughly summarized and summarized, and the final conclusion can only be made after histopathological examination."
Everyone was confused, but what Ogata said was serious, and they laymen were just confused.
"Histopathology?" Russell's expression froze, because the word was not only unfamiliar to others, but even he, the coroner, felt that he had never heard of it.
At this time, a voice sounded: "It's biology, technology in the medical field!" β
Well?
Everyone looked at the source of the voice, but it was a young girl with short brown hair standing silently behind Ogata, the young girl who everyone couldn't remember when they came along.
Ogata also looked at Shiho and smiled when he saw her complicated gaze on her face. (To be continued......)
