Early in the morning, Zhou Ning came to the office, and he didn't wear the navy blue down jacket that Xia Momo bought today, after all, he wore it on the first day yesterday, and he encountered the field investigation scene, so he thought about it and changed into a police uniform coat.

As soon as I pushed the door, I saw Liu Yongxin who was about to come out.

"Master, you're going out?"

"Well, I want to go see the one downstairs in the bath, I don't know if I have enough time."

Zhou Ning smiled, hung his coat on the coat rack, and grabbed his mobile phone to keep up with Liu Yongxin's pace.

"Let's go together, I think Da Zhao and they will go down too, right?"

Liu Yongxin nodded.

"I came early in the morning, Da Zhao couldn't stand the chatter of those boys, so he went down to watch it, after all, people have seen it in a bath, and this is the first time that a dry corpse has taken a bath."

As they walked, the two came to the second dissection room, and as soon as the door squeaked, several people squatting in front of the stainless steel pool in the dissection room jumped up in unison, looking at Zhou Ning and Liu Yongxin with a frightened face, and Da Zhao's face turned a little whiter.

With this expression, it is not difficult to see that these boys must be Liu Xiangrui, the No. 1 deceased who is doing SPA in the research pool.

Seeing Da Zhao like this, Zhou Ning almost couldn't control the expression on his face, coughed, and then turned his head sideways to help Liu Yongxin walk to a few people.

"How's it going, how's the recovery?"

Da Zhao seemed to want to grit his teeth hard to show that he didn't care, but the corners of his lips twitched a few times, and he still didn't squeeze out this smile.

"I'm scared to death, the timing of your opening is too accurate, a few of us have the courage to remove the cloth on the pool, Zou Jialong wants to reach out and touch the skin of the deceased to see if it has recovered its elasticity, after all, it looks good, it opened before it touched the door, blame Xiaopang, this kid advocates metaphysics, and asked us if we have brought amulets."

Seeing Da Zhao say this, Pang Tianhang hurriedly waved his hand.

"I'm not engaged in any feudal superstition, but my mother was afraid that I would encounter unclean things when I went out, so she hung a talisman for me, which I always wore when I was a child, and I think it's quite effective."

Zhou Ning patted Xiao Pang's shoulder, this kid was so anxious that his lips were trembling, he was startled, and he was in a hurry to explain, for a while the nerves and muscles were unable to cooperate, but he still ripped off the faded red rope on his neck, and was just about to throw it away, but was stopped by Zhou Ning, the faded red rope was a mother's blessing to her child.

They can not care at all, and even accept such blessings and care every day, they are accustomed to it, but this is what Zhou Ning longs for the most.

That dream hasn't appeared again for a long time, but the knot in my heart is still there, and my envy has always been there.

"It's okay, I understand, it's not often said that the end of Western medicine is Chinese medicine, and the end of Chinese medicine is metaphysics, in fact, we are the same, many things, sometimes it's really unclear, this is your mother's expectation and blessing for you, don't throw it away."

Da Zhao glanced at Zhou Ning, he understood what Zhou Ning was feeling, and broke Xiao Pang's fingers holding the talisman, wrapped the red rope, and stuffed it directly into his pocket.

"Do whatever you want, don't force Lai Lai, hurry up and prepare the dissection table, push the flat cart over, put on three layers of gloves, you don't need me to tell you to change your clothes, how long have you been here, do you still need to be reminded of these things?"

With such a shout, everyone was still afraid, and in an instant it seemed that a switch had been pressed, and they hurriedly put away their expressions one by one, the change of clothes that should be changed, the preparation of the flat car, Zou Jialong was considered to be fast, and he had already walked to the stainless steel pool, waiting to be carried at any time.

Zhou Ning didn't speak, he stretched out his hand to the side, Da Zhao had already handed over the LED magnifying glass light, Liu Xiangrui's body was completely immersed in the bottom of the stainless steel pool, and the skin and muscles had been soaked and basically returned to their original appearance, in comparison, it was considered to restore 80% of the water of the normal corpse.

The abrasion on the deceased Liu Xiangrui's little finger attracted Zhou Ning's attention, and burr-like skin lesions could be seen on the abrasions, which surprised Zhou Ning this time.

At that time, I heard Professor Li Chengbin say a mouthful, he wrote down this Lu Feier solution, at first he felt curious, but he didn't expect the effect to be so significant, after all, Qindao is a coastal city, damp and cold, and it is not easy to have a dry corpse.

"It's good, get the body out and put it on the dissecting table."

Da Zhao sighed.

"Before you came in, we were working on this problem, how do we get it? Alone on one side? Or can you use a tool, like a fence or something? This pool is okay size, but it's too deep, you can't reach the bottom when you reach into it, you can't jump into it, right? ”

Not to mention, this question stumped Zhou Ning, Liu Yongxin leaned over, pointed to the corner of the pool and said:

"There's a hole here, there's a valve on the outside, it's aimed at the sewage tank, just pour the water out, I remember there are no special chemicals in it, right?"

Zhou Ning shook his head, and several people had already walked to the edge of the sewage pool according to Liu Yongxin's instructions, opened the valve at the bottom, and the soaked Lufeier solution gushed out instantly, waiting for the point at the bottom of the pool for a while.

Liu Yongxin waved his hand, and several people pushed the stainless steel pool directly to the dissection table according to the requirements, and when they arrived here, there was no need for Liu Yongxin's orders, Sun Gaotie, Xiao Pang, Xiao Zou, and Wang Zhenzhen had already jumped into the pool, lifted the corpse, and gently placed it on the dissection table.

For a moment, everyone let out a long breath.

Zhou Ning had already finished dressing at this time, pulling the magnifying glass of the LED light to carefully examine the corpse surface, the abrasions on the deceased's fingers were obvious, deep into the dermis, but there was no blood scab, it seemed that this was a postmortem injury.

As for the head, neck, torso, and limbs of the deceased, they were all examined, and no problems were found at all, and there were no problems even in the mouth and rectum.

"Why, no injuries were found other than head injuries?"

Zhou Ning nodded.

"It stands to reason that the head injury is so serious, at least there will be injuries on the forehead and body caused by falling after the blow, but except for a postmortem abrasion on the little finger on the deceased's body, he didn't find it at all, could it be that the deceased was still sitting or standing honestly when he was hit on the head?"

Da Zhao shook his head.

"How do I have a feeling that this person was unconscious or completely unable to move when he was hit on the head, otherwise who can honestly wait to be beaten?"

Zhou Ning didn't speak, and checked the deceased's mouth again, there were no injuries in the deceased's mouth, and there were no traces of prying, and he glanced at the bone photo on the big screen, although the injury to the deceased's head caused the skull to collapse, but the state of the dried corpse, whether it can be found in the skull is difficult to say.

However, thinking of the bone grinding piece he had taken before, he hurriedly looked at Zhu Xingxing.

"Yesterday, I asked you to send the skull fragments for examination and bone grinding, and the results are out?"

Zhu Xingxing stuck out his tongue and hurriedly ran to Xia Momo's side, Xia Momo had already helped her log in to the mailbox, and then displayed two bone grinding reports on the big screen, four bone grinding tablets, only the blood cells were found on the bone grinding tablets at the top of the skull, and the others were none.

Seeing this, Zhou Ning frowned, but didn't say anything else, and directly signaled Zhu Xingxing to start preparing for the video.

Zhu Xingxing cleared his throat, clicked on the video button, and introduced it unhappily, these are already familiar to her, Zou Jialong and Pang Tianhang both have envious looks.

After all, it is really admirable to remember so many details in my head.

Taking the scalpel, Zhou Ning began to dissect, open the chest and abdomen, and take out the digestive tract, this hanging tissue 'hydration' is not particularly sufficient, but this supplementary state is already considered the limit, if you soak it again, I am afraid it will accelerate the decay, and I can't see the details I want to find.

Placed on the tray, Zhou Ning did not rush to deal with the internal organs, but directly cut open the stomach, and the shriveled stomach was empty, and there was no food at all.

There are still injuries to the stomach wall, erosion and ulcers on the inner wall, Zhou Ning took a closer look, these injuries give people the feeling that they are not caused by simple gastritis or physical diseases, it seems that they are caused by long-term hunger and gastric acid burning, or they appear at the same time in a short period of time.

This discovery was a bit shocking, the deceased was very thin, and he could not reach the feeling of anorexia, because the muscles of his arms and legs were very good, which was formed by years of exercise.

The stomach is like this, and the deceased has been starved for at least five days, if not longer, before dying.

Zhou Ning paused, directly cut open the deceased's intestines, examined it, and found a piece of thumb-sized brown substance in the deceased's duodenal bulb, which was hard and a little curly, and it was impossible to tell what it was.

Putting this piece of material in the curved plate, Zhou Ning raised his chin directly towards Zhu Xingxing, Zhu Xingxing took it, made a number, and then handed it to Sun Gaotie.

"Let's send it for testing, see what kind of substance this is?"

Sun Gaotie raised it up to take a closer look, pulled off the mask in confusion, looked at Zhou Ning and said:

"Boss, I think this looks like a belt, you see there is a bump on it, it can't be a tear on a belt and eat it, right? Is this a drama about the Anti-Japanese War? In this era, how can there be such a thing? ”

In a word, he reminded Zhou Ning, he glanced at Sun Gaotie, this kid is a little bit unsounding, but he has already made a blockbuster, not to mention such an analysis, it is really possible, Zhou Ning once again held the piece of material and sent it to the magnifying glass, and sure enough, the indentation could be seen on it, but I was not sure if it was a tooth mark, and there were torn fibers on the edge.

It seems that Sun Gaotie's analysis is good, this is very much like a fragment of cortex, but how hungry is Liu Xiangrui, the second deceased, that he needs to gnaw on this thing to satisfy his hunger?

Thinking about it, the movements in his hands did not stop, Zhou Ning held this thing, put it on the deceased's teeth, compared a few directions, only to find that the deceased was bitten with his right fangs, it is estimated that this thing is very hard, and after moving the right upper fangs, it is indeed a little loose.

"The analysis is very good, but it still has to be sent for inspection, and everything must be confirmed by the inspection results."

Sun Gaotie ran away with a smile, and he couldn't hide his joy from being praised.
