Chapter 118: Anatomy
With the help of the light of the living room, Ogata pulled a smaller blade from the cowhide fabric and swiped it slightly from side to side on the outer layer of his scalp, scraping off some of the dandruff. Because the surface of the scalp contains a large number of hair follicles, sebaceous glands and sweat glands, the amount of dandruff shed can also determine whether the deceased was overly stressed or mechanically asphyxiated.
What is this?
A glint flashed in Ogata's eyes, and in the dander picked up with a small piece of paper, there was some black particulate matter, which clearly did not belong to the human body's secreted or metabolized lipoepidermal tissue.
Every new appearance is one step closer to the truth.
After discovering these black particulate materials, Ogata hurriedly searched for the same thing in the deceased's hair, because after numerous autopsies, he came to the conclusion that the most obvious place for female deceased people to show evidence outside of the body was the head and nails, which were very susceptible to foreign substances.
Smoothing out the wisps of hair from left to right, Ogata is gentle as if he is combing his beloved wife's head, but in the eyes of outsiders, it has a little more creepy meaning. At least no one wants to fiddle with a disembodied head like that
Ota Katsu swallowed his saliva and said to Kakutani beside him, "No wonder he wasn't scared when he knew Kashiko's head." ”
"I've been dealing with this kind of thing every day, and I've been used to it for a long time." Kakutani struggled to control the angle of the camera while answering his words.
Sure enough, in the process of smoothing out, the same black particles were found between the deceased's head and the cortex of the brain, and Ogata slowly collected them with tweezers and placed them on a white piece of paper on the side.
After stopping all the movements of his hands, Ogata's gaze looked at the black particles, and if his eyes were stretched, it seemed that he could see the twisted veins through the careful examination of his pupils, which were the bridges of the inner world structure, and also the countless changes of thinking in an instant.
After a long silence, he wrapped the collected black substance in paper and continued to return to the front of his skull, looking at Chikako's closed eyes, Ogata's hand reached over and used different acupressure techniques to test the relaxation of the skin on his face
When the palm of the hand swept over these three-dimensional facial features, there was a strange feeling, like a crying clarification, and I couldn't wait to convey some kind of thought and information.
When he was studying in the United States, the professor who taught him told him that the first thing he saw was not a terrible face, but a fragile body. Once a person dies and remains in this world, the only thing that proves that he has come is this corpse.
And the appearance of the corpse is a kind of speech that stays at the moment when she most wants to express her inner impulse. Just as people blink their eyes when they lie, different demands produce different facial muscle changes.
Ogata felt the reality of these expressions, and he slowly raised his head to look at the area of his neck, the large wound cut by the sharp blade.
The flesh and blood are blurred, mixed with some bones, blood vessels, and veins, and it is definitely not smooth to touch through the gloves, and there are even faults in the process of cutting, and the faults divide several regions.
Faults can reflect the strength, degree, space, width and length of the blade of the knife, and the psychology of the murderer.
Cutting off a person's head from the body requires a great deal of courage in itself, and it is a human being, but Ogata has observed these faults, and in terms of inheritance, the distance between the first fault is the strictest.
In other words, the cutting force of the first knife is the strongest, so that the deceased does not have time to make a sound, the death is simply done. The second knife is a downward force, and the same is true for the third and fourth knives
When the first knife went down, judging from the depth distance, the deceased had already died, and the time when the second knife was pressed down and the fatal injury of the first knife was borne in a short time. Judging from the contraction range of blood vessels and tendons, all injuries are caused when the human body functions are still functioning to a certain extent.
In other words, the first knife killed people, and the second knife was not deliberately changed by the murderer after the deceased had been dead for a period of time.
Based on the continuity of these faults, Ogata deduced that the murderer had a murderous plan, or concept, in his head at that time.
After killing the deceased, cutting off her head without hesitation can no longer be described as courageous except for the need for planning and ideas, but a kind of almost exciting, even interesting 'killing addiction'.
Ordinary people, even if they have ideas and plans, are always bound by fear and nervousness when faced with such a thing as killing, resulting in all kinds of ideological constraints.
However, if the murderer's execution is out of reason, it will become an extremely terrible psychological pleasing.
Ogata slowly closed his eyes, remembering the time when she saw this head in the woods, and every word Suzuki Ayako had said to her, and suddenly felt that there was something contradictory.
And this contradiction seems to be that the murderer is using some means to deliberately deceive him, as well as everyone. However, no matter what kind of illusion it is, the basis of forensic reference is not the accumulation of a series of inferences, but the corpse itself.
Opening his eyes and taking a closer look at Chikako Ikeda's head, Ogata understood that there was only one best way to perform an autopsy when the body was incomplete.
"Everyone." Ogata, who had been silent, and even said that he was completely immersed in the space of his mind, suddenly turned his head to look at the crowd and spoke slowly.
Well? Could it be that the autopsy is over? Everyone, including Conan, looked at Ogata expectantly, waiting for his conclusion.
"To further establish the process and truth of death, I need to dissect Chikako Ikeda's head."
Ogata said sternly, noticing that when he said this, everyone's expressions became stunned and surprised.
Ayako Suzuki's eyes widened, and she asked with some excitement, "Do you want to cut Chikako's head?" Of course, she understood the meaning of the word 'anatomy', and she had already been emotionally flustered by the death of her friend, and now she resisted the act of hearing that Ogata was going to dissect the head.
"In front of us, it's inevitable to dissect the corpse" Ota Katsu's face turned pale, and he felt a feeling of nausea in his stomach, unable to imagine the next picture.
Ogata was not surprised to see that everyone reacted so violently, because it was both the current era and the future 21st century. The autopsy work is a link that the deceased's relatives are very resistant to.
He did not rush to argue, but persuaded in a calm tone.
"Autopsy is a necessary form of confirmation for forensic doctors. For you, it's about destroying the body of a deceased friend, but what about the dead? ”
The entire living room, everyone was looking at Ogata.
"In a way of liberation, sue sù me, and also tell sù that the value of life is a shell, and the meaning of death is an idea!"
