Chapter 42: The Strange Cause of Death, Fighting Cattle Across the Mountains?
Early the next morning, Xu Le was awakened by a rapid phone ringing, rubbed his eyes sleepily, and picked up the phone.
"Hey."
A pleasant female voice came from the other end.
"Xu Le, haven't you gotten up yet?"
"Maina, it's so early, well, it's only past six o'clock, looking for me something."
"It's inconvenient on the other end of the phone, can you come to the police station?"
"It's a new development in the case, okay, I'll come over right away."
Get out the door.
On Tuesday, the baby was still lying on the sofa and falling asleep, and when Xu Le saw this, he first woke him up.
"Hmm... What's up. ”
Tuesday asked with squinted eyes and asked half-asleep.
"I've got something to do, wait, if I don't come back by noon, you can help add some cat food to May's bowl, and take it down and throw it in the trash."
"Well, huhuhu......"
Nodding, Tuesday Wa immediately fell on the sofa and fell asleep again.
I don't know if this thing listened to his words, but in desperation, Xu Le had no choice but to push open the door, go downstairs to take a taxi, and go straight to the Qingzhou Police Station.
As soon as he got out of the car, when he wanted to go to the police station immediately, a tempting fragrance reached the tip of his nose, which made Xu Le change his mind.
In the summer, the streets of Qingzhou at six o'clock in the morning have been full of people, and the vendors of the steamed bun stall next door have been up for more than three hours, and they get up at three o'clock, which is not a good experience for ordinary people, but they have persisted for decades.
"Uncle, bring me three mushroom buns, and add three fresh meats."
Xu Le stepped forward and said hello, the middle-aged uncle who sold steamed buns opened the bun cage drawer very skillfully, and the white gas was very clear in the still somewhat hazy sky.
"It's the first time I've come, I have a lot of buns here, and you probably can't eat them alone."
It was the first time Xu Le heard a vendor say that he was afraid that he would buy too much, and a kind smile appeared on his face: "It's okay, I still have a friend here." ”
"Girlfriend."
It seems that as long as it is a human being, it can't escape the psychology of gossip, looking at the curious smile on the uncle's face, Xu Le shook his head: "Just ordinary friends." ”
As he spoke, the buns had already been packed in plastic bags by the uncle, and the tempting fragrance made Xu Le can't help but move his index fingers.
As soon as he entered the door of the police station, Xu Le saw an acquaintance.
Zhao Dayong was squatting on the ground and smoking, puffs of smoke swirling above his head, and his eyes were red and obviously he hadn't slept all night.
When he saw Xu Le, to be precise, when he saw the bun in his hand, Zhao Dayong showed an excited smile on his face.
"What's so embarrassing, come so early, and bring me something to eat."
"Lao Zhao, there is a bun shop in front of the door, you won't say you don't know, right?"
Xu Le teased Zhao Dayong, and of course handed him a few buns.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Dayong waved his hand: "I'm just kidding, Lao Zhangtou's steamed bun shop, the fragrance of the just opened door is simply a deadly weapon for people who stay up late, I ate eight in one go, and now I can't eat it." ”
Hearing this, Xu Le lowered his head and silently glanced at the bun that was much bigger than his fist, and didn't say anything, just gave Zhao Dayong a thumbs up.
"Lao Zhao, are you working an extra night?"
Hearing this, Zhao Dayong's eyes showed a bitter color: "Originally, I should have taken a turn off, but in this case, the family members of the parties are still well-known entrepreneurs in Qingzhou, and it is feudal superstition, and the impact is not good, the superiors have ordered us to solve the case in a month, and I am under a lot of pressure now." ”
Xu Le knew that he was giving himself eye medicine.
Without saying anything more, he asked.
"Where's Mina?"
At the mention of this, Zhao Dayong's eyes couldn't help but flash a different color: "This little girl, I really admire it from the bottom of my heart, this hard work is not at all like a student who has not yet graduated, and studied in the forensic office all night yesterday." ”
"Okay, then I'll go in first, Mina is looking for me, I guess the autopsy found some clues."
"Well, then you can get in quickly."
Passing through the gate of the police station, on the outermost side, there is a small building that looks a little old on the outside.
On the first floor, turn right and walk to the end, a room that looks ordinary on the outside, and the three big words on it tell others that it is not so simple.
Dissection room.
Xu Le knocked on the door.
"Wait a minute."
Maina's voice could be heard from inside.
After a few moments, Mina walked out of the room.
She is dressed today like the female medical examiner on TV, with a black uniform and white gloves.
After seeing Xu Le again, Mai Na said straight to the point: "It's coming so soon, your previous suspicions are not wrong, the deceased either died in an accident or a murder." ”
Let's get down to business.
Xu Le's expression was a little more serious: "How can you see it?" ”
"It is true that the cause of death of the deceased was a heart attack, but there was a very strange mark on the inside of his left leg, and after I performed an autopsy, I could find that the deceased's body had suffered very serious internal injuries, which caused heart problems and caused his death."
Mai Na simply and competently told Xu Le what she knew.
The deceased was murdered.
This did not exceed Xu Le's expectations, but Maina's description of the injury made him a little confused.
"According to your meaning, the murder weapon entered the body of the deceased from the left side of the injured man's thigh, and kept scurrying, resulting in his death?"
"That's right."
Mina nodded.
"It would be very strange that any weapon could enter the body of the deceased without leaving a wound and cause serious internal injuries to the deceased."
Hearing Mai Na's words, Xu Le's mind couldn't help but pop up, a martial art that can only be found in a novel.
Fight cattle across the mountains.
While not leaving a wound, it can also cause serious internal injuries, which is not what it is to fight cattle across the mountain.
"I don't know very well about this, although I know a little about equipment, but I don't know what kind of weapons can cause this kind of injury."
After thinking about it, Xu Le didn't have a clue in his head, and he didn't bother anymore at the moment, but said: "Maina, you've been busy all night, you shouldn't have eaten yet." ”
shook the bun in his hand.
Maina quickly waved her hand.
"Gollum."
But a voice sounded, making her face a little embarrassed.
Looking at the tempting bun in Xu Le's bag, Mai Na hesitated for a moment, but still took it.
"Okay, you eat first, I'll go inside and take a look at the deceased to see if I can find any clues."
"Huh? You're sure you're going. ”
There was something strange in Mina's eyes.
"What's wrong, isn't it convenient?"
"It's okay, it's just that if you don't eat first and then go, I'm afraid that when the time comes, you won't be able to eat after you go in and see the corpse."
When Xu Le heard this, he couldn't help but smile contemptuously: "Dead man, it's not like I've never seen it, you are a little underestimated." ”
After finishing speaking, Xu Le strode in.
Half a day.
Vomit.
The retching sound was incessant.
Xu Le felt a little regretful for the first time, he had seen dead people, but he had never seen an autopsy.
The white flowers and oily things are scattered, and the taste of human visual senses is simply an explosive challenge.
"You... You can still eat it. ”
After spitting up, Xu Le's face was a little pale, and he looked at Mai Na, who was eating fragrantly, and his expression was full of admiration for the brave.
"You know, when I first went to forensics, I was one hundred and two."
Xu Le: "............"
