The temperature of the corpse had been measured just after it was delivered to the autopsy room. According to the temperature of the corpse, it can be inferred that the time of death was around [-]:[-] in the morning. The person who was able to enter the villa smoothly in the middle of the night should be someone familiar to the deceased.

Yan Gui carefully inspected the surface of the corpse from the beginning to the end, her attention was mainly on the nails on the dead body, the nails were not pulled out, they were still stuck in the dead body.The nail on the skull was in the center of the forehead, pierced through the middle of the forehead, drilled all the way out of the back of the head, and could be nailed into the wall to fix the head. This shows that the length of the nail is astonishing, and the murderer is also very powerful.

Yan Gui carefully took out the nail inserted into the head of the deceased, and looked it over carefully. The nail was at least 20 centimeters long, which is very rare. Yan Gui put the nail in a tray, ready to send it for autopsy Laboratory inspection.

After that, all the nails on the limbs and torso were taken out. There were two nails on the limbs and five nails in total on the torso. The murderer needed great strength to fix the body to the wall.

After taking out all the nails and inspecting the body surface of the corpse, Yan Gui swiftly shaved off the hair of the corpse, and the wound on the head was immediately exposed. Pressing on the wound, she was not strong enough to feel the hardness and state of the skull.

"This is a postmortem injury." The judgment of antenatal injury and postmortem injury is an essential basic skill for forensic medicine.

Yan Gui glanced at Li Yunchang, he understood, knowing that it was Yan Gui who was teaching him, so he rushed over.

Yan Gui pointed to the wound on the head of the deceased and said: "The surface of the wound is yellow, and the edge is not curled. It is an obvious post-mortem injury."

Only when the organism is alive will there be a life response. The wound life response is mainly manifested in whether there is bleeding on the surface and whether the edge is curled.The surface of the wound formed during his lifetime was generally red with curled edges, while the wound formed after death was yellow in color close to the skin color, with no curled edges, just like the one on Shen Wu's head.

"You patched your head after you died?" Gu Yixian, who was holding a camera to take pictures, came over and asked.

Yan Gui raised his eyes to look at her, and seeing her staring at the wound of the deceased's head with a camera, maybe she was too close all of a sudden, Yan Gui couldn't help but feel a wave of turmoil in his heart.

Quickly covering up the turmoil in his heart, Yan Gui turned back to look at the corpse, and said calmly: "This blow is not light, the skull has some fractures."

Having said that, Yan Gui asked Li Yunchang to take a saw from the shelf next to him, and began to saw the skull of the deceased.After the craniotomy, the brain tissue inside could be seen more clearly, but blood and a pile of white things appeared instantly. Li Yunchang couldn't help retching, and quickly covered his mouth wearing a mask.

Gu Yixian, on the other hand, still had a very calm expression, Yan Gui glanced at her and moved away calmly.

Seeing the situation in the cranial cavity, Yan Gui frowned slightly, and said: "The murderer didn't hit very hard this time. If this person was alive at the time, the force might not have killed him. Although the skull was fractured, it obviously didn't hurt the inside of the skull. , did not cause blood vessel rupture or other damage."

"It's a bit strange." At the end, she added this sentence.

Gu Yixian looked at her and asked, "What's so strange?"

"The fact that the murderer was able to break his skull with one blow is enough to prove that he actually made up his mind to kill him, but the actual force he used couldn't kill anyone. I think the murderer's behavior is somewhat contradictory to his actual psychology. And... "Yan Gui stood up straight and looked at the corpse, and said: "The deceased was already dead when he hit this one, so this action seemed redundant, so I said it was a bit strange."

And she had seen it at the scene, but didn't notice any tools that fit the wound on the head. It seems that after the autopsy, she had to ask Jiang Wang if he found anything, or go to the scene to take a closer look.

Now is not the time for in-depth analysis, Yan Gui asked Li Yunchang to record all the content and questions, and then started the next step.

The current top priority is to determine the real cause of death. This is the most critical step in solving the case. If the cause of death is uncertain, other analyzes will be futile.

Yan Gui did not forget the preliminary examination at the scene. She knew that the cause of death of the deceased should be mechanical suffocation, but it was still unclear which type it was, so she set her sights on the neck of the deceased.

Now that the blood stains on the surface of the corpse have been cleaned up, the traces of the rope on the neck can be seen very clearly.When the murderer chopped off the head of the deceased, the wound was close to the jaw, very close to the jaw, and the strangle marks on the neck were completely left on the neck of the torso.

Yan Gui leaned closer to observe carefully, the strangle marks of the rope were very obvious, and even the lines of the rope were clearly reflected through the traces, Yan Gui used a scalpel to separate the skin tissue at the strangle mark, and carefully looked at the situation under the skin.

"There is an obvious life reaction, which is an injury before death."

Yan Gui's eyes followed the strangle marks to examine carefully, and suddenly her eyes froze. She took a magnifying glass to carefully observe the lines of the rope on the strangle marks, and the more she looked at it, the more she felt that something was wrong.But she has doubts in her heart, and this doubt has not yet formed, so she doesn't plan to say it now.

Turning around and touching Gu Yixian, Yan Gui looked at her and said, "Take a picture of this."

Gu Yixian looked in the direction she pointed, it was the place with the heaviest strangle marks, she didn't think about it or ask, she directly pointed the camera at the place Yan Gui pointed, and took several high-definition photos in succession.

After that, Yan Gui turned the body over again, and noticed some unusual marks on the back of the body. These marks were very light pink-purple. Looking carefully, they looked like bruises, which were left by someone dragging the dead on the ground. There are traces of it, and there are life reactions, which prove that it is a scar left by him during his lifetime.However, due to the dismemberment of the deceased and the loss of a large amount of blood, these traces have faded.

Yan Gui leaned over to the back of the corpse and took a closer look. There was a relatively large circular lavender mark hidden in the bruises left by the dragging.She cut open the skin here with a scalpel, and found that there was a subcutaneous hemorrhage here. Since it is bleeding, it proves that there is a living reaction.

At this point in the autopsy, the cause of death has been clarified. In fact, there is no need for an open chest autopsy, but Yangui is cautious. She simply opened the chest to check whether the deceased had any underlying diseases, and extracted the stomach contents and blood to send to the laboratory for testing. .

It has been a few hours since I worked in the autopsy room from beginning to end. The time of the incident was [-]:[-] in the morning. It was nearly twelve o'clock, and they were so busy that they didn't even have a bite of lunch.

After changing out of the protective clothing and washing his hands, Yan Gui sent the materials that needed to be tested to the laboratory and handed them over to the Laboratory Department, and only later did he feel hungry.She was not in a hurry to eat, but returned to her office to start integrating the autopsy records into a report. There were many quirks in this case, and there were many doubts found during the autopsy alone.

The strangest thing is that there are too many injuries on the deceased, and they are not ordinary, but there are too many types of injuries.The cause of death was strangulation, a postmortem injury from a blunt instrument blow to the head, dragging injuries and subcutaneous hemorrhage on the back, and the most obvious one was dismemberment.

Do you need to use so many means to kill a person?

A knock on the office door interrupted Yan Gui's thoughts, she looked up blankly, Gu Yixian was standing outside the half glass wall and shook the lunch box in her hand at her.

The door of Yangui's office was unlocked. After getting permission, Gu Yixian pushed the door open and came in. She put the takeaway on the table and said, "I've been busy for a long time, let's eat something first."

Yan Gui was stunned for a moment, looking at Gu Yixian with dazed eyes, it was only the first day they met, to be precise, it was only half a day.Although the contact time was much longer than Yan Gui expected, but she felt that these contacts should not be enough for Gu Yixian to take the initiative to ask her to have dinner together.

Gu Yixian didn't understand, and even felt flustered for no reason. This was completely different from her usual style, and made her feel strange.She and Yan Gui only knew each other for the first day. If there was no case happened today, they would not even have contact with work. She didn't understand where she came from to want to get close to this man.

Like an invisible thread pulling, that strange sense of familiarity kept haunting her. The closeness between her and Yan Gui almost came from instinct, and it was not under the control of her own reason.

Just now when Yangui was doing the autopsy, she faintly felt more strange feelings, which were throbbing that she never felt when watching the old section chief's autopsy.It was as if she had seen Yan Gui standing in front of the dissecting table with a scalpel countless times, and Yan Gui's appearance was fatally attractive to her.

This scene seemed to have appeared in her dream, Gu Yixian felt that Yan Gui had overlapped with a vague shadow, this feeling was forcibly thrown away by her just after it appeared, she didn't feel like that in her memory He didn't feel that Yan Gui resembled anyone.

Shaking off the distracting thoughts in his heart, Gu Yixian showed a soft smile, stared at Yangui with rolling eyes, and said, "Are you hungry? Let's eat together."

Yan Gui subconsciously nodded, but immediately shook it twice.

Gu Yixian looked at her happily, and asked, "Do you nod or shake your head?"

Yan Gui didn't meet her eyes, but his eyes fell on the lunch boxes on the table. It seemed that there were a lot of dishes, serving two people. Gu Yixian guessed that Gu Yixian specially bought them to eat with her.

She was indeed very hungry at this time, and she had been in poor health since she was seriously injured two years ago, and she was very weak.After expending a lot of mental and physical energy in the dissecting room just now, the feeling of hunger is even stronger. I don't feel it when I am busy, but now I am quiet and tortured.

Unable to say no, Yan Gui moved a chair over to let Gu Yixian sit down, "Thank you. Turn around and I..."

"The new colleague came on the first day, I'll treat you." Gu Yixian guessed what she wanted to say, and blocked the words for her directly, without giving her a chance to say it.

Yan Gui was stunned again, but didn't speak immediately.

Gu Yixian felt that this person was awkward, but he was a little funny, so he said indifferently: "You can invite me another day. It's a big deal, we will have more time to eat together in the future."
