Chapter 42: It's Not Drowning, It's Murder
This was originally the home of forensic doctors, and all the tools were fully equipped, which also brought a lot of convenience to the dissection work of the master and apprentice.
Chen Qi habitually took a closer look at the corpse, and there was a stench of mud from the bottom of the river all over his body, and there were also mud traces on his nose and fingernails.
The hair follicles are bulging all over the body, the hair roots are erect, and the skin is like goosebumps, all of which seem to be consistent with the symptoms of drowning.
Li Baotian was in a happy mood when he saw this well-preserved corpse:
"Sure enough, it's a big job, there are a lot of specimens that can be taken from the whole body, it is estimated that all of them will be done, and we can at least share five or six hundred yuan, this work is not tiring and easy, how about it, it's worth back your two catties of special Longjing, right?"
In these days, money is still very valuable.
Like Mr. Li Baotian, he came from the provincial capital to work, the original diploma is an undergraduate, and he enjoys the treatment of senior professional titles, professional level 8, corresponding to the administrative level 17 salary, and can get 104 yuan a month.
This is the highest level in the Guardian Academy.
As for secondary school students like Chen Qi, as soon as they graduate, they can enjoy a professional level 3 salary, which is 42 yuan.
Don't look at 42 yuan is not much, you must know that the same apprentice who has just entered the factory is only 14 yuan a month, and most masters' salary is about 38 yuan a month.
Only when the more motivated workers and masters have mastered a certain technical ability and the rating has gone up, can the income go up.
So like Chen Qi, the start is 42 yuan, and the master of the top company is enough.
What is the concept of five or six hundred yuan, that is, Chen Qi's income for one year after graduation.
It is also when he is now guarding the school, and the subsidy for 4 or 5 years is really a huge amount of money, and he can buy three bicycles.
Chen Qi was also happy when he heard that he could get so much money, "Teacher Li, where do we start dissecting first?" ”
"Let's open the stomach first, the internal organs are the most likely to deteriorate and rot, we have to hurry up and take them out, is there a problem? Do you feel scared? ”
Chen Qi put on gloves, masks, hats, and surgical gowns, and then smiled:
"Don't worry, Mr. Li, I have long been familiar with the anatomy of the human body, I will fight wherever you point, the student of Mr. Li Baotian of the Health School, it is a little fun to dissect a corpse."
Li Baotian laughed when he heard this, and pointed his finger at his proud student:
"You kid just brag, okay, you open your stomach and take the internal organs first, and today I will give you a hand to mix the potion, and then call me if you can't figure it out." It's okay if the organ is really damaged, don't have a psychological burden. ”
It is also in this era that teachers dare to let students do it.
Chen Qi bent down, seemingly looking for a scalpel in the toolbox, but in fact, he had quietly taken out the mysterious scalpel from the space.
It is estimated that similar to martial arts novels, the "sword spirit" was produced and has its own intelligence, so Chen Qi has appointed it as a "chess knife" and considers it a part of his life.
Whoever is the chess knife, who else is me, this Chen Qi feels that he has the bottom in his heart.
When dissecting a corpse, there is no need to disinfect or anything, just find the right position, and cut it all the way from under the chin to the middle of the corpse's chest and abdomen, and cut the stomach with a single stroke, exposing the internal organs.
The moment he opened his abdomen, a smell of corpses came up, fortunately, the frozen ones were not particularly obvious, Chen Qi slowed down his breathing, and then began to prepare to take off the liver, gallbladder, spleen, lungs, kidneys, and pancreas one by one.
Li Baotian saw that the students were on stage for the first time, and although he was mixing potions on the side, his eyes kept staring.
As a result, I unexpectedly found that this kid didn't shake his hands, and directly came to a super large incision, which was quite professional from the gesture point of view.
This made Mr. Li strange and strange, and finally had to be classified as a "genius" to comfort himself.
Anyway, it's a corpse, and I'm not afraid of any accidents or disputes, so just let him do it.
Chen Qi first took out all the vital organs in his abdomen, and in order to keep the skeleton intact, he began to dig out the organs in the chest cavity, such as the lungs and heart.
At this time, his eyes suddenly flashed with a cold light.
The deceased's lungs were intact, healthy red in color, no significant change in size, and there was no sign of pulmonary edema.
Cold sweat came out on Chen Qi's back, and he had a reaction in an instant:
"The cause of death is definitely not drowning, but being killed and thrown into the river, that is a criminal case, and it is a big deal."
Death by drowning, which is easy to find at the time of autopsy, and the deceased will definitely have watery emphysema, which is one of the important pieces of evidence to determine the drowning before death.
What is called aqueous emphysema, that is, a large amount of water is inhaled into the lungs, causing the lungs to expand in size and increase in weight, which is about twice that of normal lungs.
There are rib indentations on the surface of the lungs, the edges are blunt and round, there is a feeling of kneading the dough to the touch, and it will be concave when pressed, and the surface of the lungs is moist, and the color is light, light gray with light red.
Light gray is the alveolar ischemic area, and red is the bleeding area, which is due to the drowning plaque formed by hyperpressure in the lungs, alveolar wall rupture, bleeding and hemolysis, which can be very noticeable.
Chen Qi was afraid that his judgment would be wrong, so he turned around and went to the metal plate to re-examine his stomach to make sure that there was no large amount of water and sediment in his stomach.
If there is no river water or silt in the lungs and stomach, it is completely clear that the deceased died before falling into the river.
"Teacher Li, this corpse is wrong."
Li Baotian was preparing the solution needed for the specimen, and when he heard the student's request for help, he thought that it was not as he expected, and the novice was still on a business trip.
"What's wrong? I'm busy, so let's describe the problem verbally. ”
"Teacher Li, I suspect that this body did not die from drowning, but was thrown into the river after death."
Bang dang~~~
The plate in Li Baotian's hand fell to the ground, and he quickly stood up and quickly came to the student's side.
"Tell me about the basis for your judgment."
"Teacher, you see, the deceased's lungs are normal, there is no sign of pulmonary emphysema at all, and I have just checked, the stomach is normal food residues, and there is not a lot of river water and silt."
Li Baotian doesn't need to wear gloves, this is a clear thing.
He took a deep breath and instructed:
"You cut open the upper airway right away and see if there's any mushroom foam."
After drowning, a large amount of river water will be sucked into the respiratory tract, stimulating the mucous membranes of the respiratory tract to secrete a large amount of mucus.
Mucus, drowning, and air are mixed and stirred with each other through vigorous breathing movements, resulting in a large amount of fine, uniform white foam.
These foams overflow and clog in and around the mouth and nostrils, like white cotton balls blocking the respiratory orifice, and this foam is extremely stable because it is rich in mucus, does not disappear easily, and then overflows again after erasing, which is important for confirming pre-mortem drowning.
