Chapter 197: Unbelievable

Along with Ken's landing was Sophie's irrepressible fear. She didn't even dare to glance in the direction where Kenn had landed, so she squatted on the ground with her head in her hands, screaming.

The trainer plane also seemed to have discovered an abnormality, and Lao Yajie had already circled half a circle and flew towards the runway, ready to land.

Haji struggled to move his trembling legs, and walked pale towards the circle around him where the weeds were falling.

At a distance of more than 10 meters, it took Haji at least 3 minutes to see Ken in the center of the circle for the first time, and Haji bent down and vomited.

Until Lao Yajie also came, after the police arrived, Haji was still vomiting, he no longer had any food to vomit, only water and gastric juice in his stomach.

Richie shrugged: "Ken has a comminuted fracture all over his body, because his head hit the ground first, so all the cervical vertebrae were hit into the abdominal cavity, half of the skull was sunken in, and the brain pulp was basically impossible to collect, all in the weeds around." ”

Wang Shui'er shuddered, pulled Yang Qian back a few steps, and raised her feet to look at the soles of her shoes. If he stepped on the remnants of his brain, Wang Shui'er estimated that he would have nightmares for half a year.

Both Cowman and Wang Lei frowned, didn't say anything, just looked at Richie, the Pittsburgh police wouldn't do more than that. Moreover, the parachute malfunction and death from the fall are not unexplainable or peculiar.

Every year, the parachute training of US Air Force recruits, although it is said that there are not many deaths, there are some, and the FBI has recorded these, some of which the FBI participates in, and some of which are investigated by the army itself.

"We also thought it was a parachute failure, so we notified the coroner's office and brought the body back. The problem is that we find two unexplainable places. Rich said with a little frustration, after all, the Pittsburgh police were incompetent.

The pull cord of the parachute on Ken's back was cut with a knife, and the neat edge of the knife explained why Ken was unable to open the parachute. Sophie and Hage's testimony also illustrates that Ken had signs of life before the jump.

What the Pittsburgh police can be sure of is that someone attempted to murder Ken, and it succeeded.

Just as Richie gathered his men to investigate the old Yajie and the people who had been to the training ground in the last few days, including the people in the bar the day before, he received a very unexpected news.

The coroner's office informed Rich to rush to the forensic laboratory and arrived immediately. Rich was puzzled by the call, and the cause of death was obvious, the parachute could not be opened and he fell to his death.

The medical examiner told Richie that Ken had not fallen to his death, but had drowned before he fell to the ground, and that all that had fallen from the plane was a corpse.

Richie looked at the forensic doctor stupidly, it's not a joke here, do you know? Although I, Richie, am a tolerant and generous person, I can't tease me like that!

"Ken doesn't swim, do you know what, West?" Richie was really angry.

West had been working in the Pittsburgh coroner's office for several years and had never made a mistake, and this time he had taken the wrong medicine or drugs, and Richie was upset.

West, a top student in forensic chemistry at the State University of New York at Buffalo, worked in the coroner's office in New York before coming to Pittsburgh when he was older, and his tests have not been pointed out to be wrong.

Touching his bald head, West was also puzzled: "I have done 5 tests repeatedly, and the deceased has water in his lungs and respiratory tract, which is a typical drowning. ”

Pushing through a tray, West pointed to the organs inside and asked Richie to observe by himself, this kind of stagnant water is visible to the naked eye, although Richie does not understand forensic science, but after all, he has been a sergeant of the homicide department for many years, and this basic common sense is still there.

Kaleman and Wang Lei were stunned, they were really stunned, Wang Lei looked up at the sky, could it be that in the place where he couldn't see, there was really a three-dimensional space and a four-dimensional space.

A few women simply found a telescope and looked at the sky, who is not interested in this kind of bizarre thing. The horror of Ken's death scene was also much diluted by this atmosphere.

"Hehehehehe", Richie laughed at the behavior of several women, he not only looked at it with a telescope, but also made a special trip to the university to borrow an instrument and scan all the flight areas in this area.

After the cause of Ken's death spread in the police station, various rumors were spread, and it was in order to suppress the growing rumors that Richie took the initiative to borrow the instrument.

Regardless of the cause of death, the strangest thing about Ridge was that if someone had cut the pull cord of the parachute to kill Ken, he would have drowned for something.

The forensic examination is not wrong, this is the result of West's repeated efforts, so what is the problem?

Waving his hand, Rich continued, this is just a case, and it's not worth the FBI's big fight. If it's just this case, Richie's best thing to do is to write a "cause of death unknown" in the file and throw it into the cold case store.

Ken was the third person to die in Pittsburgh this month. The only thing they have in common with the other two deceased is that they both came from Los Angeles.

The first two deceased, one came out for tourism, and the other came to collect wind and paint, and they were not very old.

Rich has verified that there is no contact between the three deceased, and there is no contact between the parents or even relatives of the deceased.

It stands to reason that since it is an independent 3 deceased, Richie should be divided into 3 cases to deal with, right, shaking his head, Richie's face that has been smiling began to bitter: "Of course it will be a case, who made their cause of death so strange!" ”

The first deceased is more than 20 days away, and he came to Pittsburgh alone because of a broken love. I stayed at the hotel in the evening, and I never came back after leaving the hotel the next morning.

On the third day, the hotel contacted the tourist based on a mobile phone number registered by the tourist, but could not be reached, and a few hours later, the hotel chose to report the incident.

Before the police could take any action, someone on the outskirts of Pittsburgh reported that a bloody body was found. The police sent officers out of the scene, and the deceased was covered in blood and could not be identified.

The police also did not find any documents for the deceased, let alone any traces at the scene, so they had no choice but to transport the body back to the medical examiner's office and notify the coroner's office to begin the examination immediately.

West did a thorough laboratory and determined the identity of the deceased, who was the tourist who had been reported missing at the hotel.

The cause of death was also found, but no one dared to believe it. The mayor of Pittsburgh and several big bosses of the police department visited the medical examiner's office and watched West do the test for the first time.

After reviewing West's test results and scrutinizing West's comparison items on his computer, the mayor of Pittsburgh had to admit that the tourist had been bitten to death by a lion.

This is Pittsburgh, the most livable city in the United States, with beautiful scenery, moderate temperatures, and a terrain of plains surrounded by water.

This is not the Mexican prairie, there can be no wolf, lions, will God let a lion come down on Pittsburgh?

The second deceased left Los Angeles to take a break because of a broken love. He was staying in a different hotel than the previous deceased, and after two days and two nights of drunkenness in a bar near the hotel, he felt that he should go out and see the wonderful views of Pittsburgh.

He went out at night and came back only to be informed by a call from the police.

The body of the second deceased was found at the confluence of Pittsburgh's most famous Three Rivers, lying on the embankment, half of his head missing, and one hand missing from the crook of his elbow.

The first female police officer to arrive at the scene is said to be the first thing she did when she returned to the police station was to seek psychological assistance.

Richie scratched his neck that had been bitten by flying insects in distress, and he saw the pitiful appearance of the policewoman, and he was very sympathetic to her. In the past few days, Richie has been thinking about whether to let her turn to internal work, maybe it will be good for healing the shadow in her heart.

Rich's wave after wave of cases was exposed, allowing Coleman, Wang Lei and three women to surround him in the middle. Coleman was listening in fascination when he was interrupted by Ritchie's pity for the policewoman.

"Tell me, what's going on with the second deceased?" Coleman urged.

West himself could not believe his own tests, and he locked himself in the medical examiner's room all day, and finally came out in frustration and announced to Rich, who had long since lost patience, that "this dead man was bitten by a crocodile." ”

Alligator? Richie is crazy and about to go crazy.

He had lived in Pittsburgh for generations and had never heard of crocodiles in these three rivers. Well, even if a crocodile accidentally swam down the current, West's test report clearly reads: Amazon bottlenose alligator.

Amazon, Rich couldn't help but start praying, bottlenose alligator is a special species of Amazon, but that's in South America, here is the United States, it's Pittsburgh.

Rich forced himself to compose, and he sent the pathology slides West had taken to the Hoover Building. It's not that he doesn't believe West, but because this cause of death is even more bizarre than the first, he has to doubt West's level.

So much so that after agreeing with Ritchie's re-examination, the police commissioner felt that the New York Police Department was closer and could actually test the proposal was rejected by Rich without hesitation, and he couldn't believe it.

The test results at the Hoover Building were returned three hours later, signed by three F.B.I. biological experts, who came to the same conclusion as West: that the second deceased had been attacked by an alligator.

Coleman trembled in his heart, no wonder the headquarters wanted to send Wang Lei over, and anyone else who came would probably have the same reaction as himself, either an alien or a haunted house.

In other words, Pittsburgh is either an alien base or a huge devil's base, and only these non-terrestrial creatures can produce such frequent deaths that are not within the scope of normal human cognition.
