Forensics

At ten o'clock in the morning, Penang City Council Forensic Medical Examination Center.

After hanging up the phone, Shen Junci walked back to the corpse and asked gently, "Forensic Doctor Shen, can you determine the cause of death?"

Shen Junci showed Wen Wan the hands of the corpse: "The child's hands were not washed clean, and there were still some marks in the nails. I judged that they might be left when peeling lychees. The deceased should have eaten a lot of lychees before death." Litchi, blood sugar is very low, comprehensive judgment, I suspect it is litchi disease."

This disease mostly occurs in malnourished young children. The children eat a lot of lychee, go to bed early without dinner, and induce hypoglycemia acute encephalitis syndrome at night, which is commonly known as "lychee disease", which can be life-threatening in severe cases.

Wen Wan said, she has also heard of some occasional cases of litchi disease in summer, before she checked the corpse, she just found it weird, but without an autopsy, she couldn't make a judgment.Wen Wan never thought that the child might have died from eating fruit.

The two finished the physical examination in the forensic room, just as Gu Yanchen arrived outside.

He heard Shen Junci give a general idea on the phone before, and walked directly into the dissection room.

Gu Yanchen looked at the corpse, then at Li Chumei who was sitting outside and asked, "Is that a family member?"

Shen Junci hummed, explained the principle of litchi disease to him, and then said: "It's just a suspicion now, we need to ask the situation to confirm."

They came out and faced the mother and child outside together.

Shen Junci asked: "What symptoms did the child have before he became ill?"

Li Chumei said: "I'm working outside, and I haven't lived with them during this time..."

After she finished speaking, she pushed the older child, "Ji Hong, what happened last night? You talk to the police uncle again."

The little boy named Ji Hong was the witness at the scene.

He recalled for a while: "After my brother fell asleep yesterday, in the middle of the night, he suddenly screamed. Then he convulsed. I hurriedly called my father, and they sent him to the hospital. I... I was very scared. ..."

Shen Junci winked at Gu Yanchen.

Convulsions, convulsions, and screams are the characteristics of litchi disease.

Gu Yanchen asked him, "What did your brother eat last night?"

The child bowed his head in silence.

Li Chumei pushed the child again, like a translator, and asked the question again: "What did your brother eat yesterday?"

Only then did the little boy whisper: "Just like me, I ate dinner... Grandpa and grandma are not at home, so I cooked dinner."

Having said that, the boy cried out loud.

Li Chumei pulled the eldest son and said: "This matter has nothing to do with my family Honghong. The forensic doctor also looked at it before and said that it was definitely not poisoned to death."

It was true that she wanted to find out the cause of her youngest son's death, but the current direction was different from what she had imagined.She felt that her eldest son was being targeted, and a woman had a sixth sense, so she suddenly became a little scared.

Seeing the situation a little stiff, Wen Wan squatted down and asked Ji Hong: "Your brother's blood sugar is abnormal. Tell auntie, did he eat dinner before going to bed last night? How much?"

Ji Hong choked up a few times, and cried even harder: "I was doing my homework yesterday, and he served the dinner himself, so I didn't pay attention."

Seeing this scene, Li Chumei put her arms around the child and said, "My brother had an accident yesterday, and he was terrified. He is only ten years old, and he is already blaming himself for not taking good care of his brother. If you can find out, do so. forget about it."

Just at this point, another man in his 30s walked up from the corridor of the forensic building. The man was dark-skinned and wearing work clothes on the construction site. What a fake effort, why did you carry the child's body here? This matter is over, what are you tossing about?"

Li Chumei choked up twice and wiped her tears: "I heard that the child died and got dizzy..."

The man threatened her: "I'll deal with you when I get back!"

Then he turned his head and smiled again: "Comrade police, we have already signed the application form for no autopsy, and we have to deal with the child's funeral later. It is really troublesome to you. Can we go now?"

Seeing that the form had changed, Shen Junci and Wen Wan looked at each other in blank dismay.

It was Gu Yanchen who reacted quickly, waved his hand and said, "Just clear up the misunderstanding. The corpse is still in the forensic room. Let us go through a simple process and put on the shroud, so as not to delay your funeral."

Speaking of this, he directly sent a voice message to Qi Yi'an, called him over and said, "Take the family members to the meeting room aside, wait a moment."

When the family members sent her away, Wen Wan was a little dazed: "Then... what if this is really murder and there is another murderer, we just let it go?"

Although she and Li Chumei have known each other for a long time, as a forensic doctor, Wen Wan still feels that a suspicious case cannot be let go.

Gu Yanchen said: "Delay them for a while. We can't let them quarrel in the corridor." He walked into the dissection room and asked, "Where's the computer on your side?"

Shen Junci pointed to the corner: "There."

Gu Yanchen pulled over the chair, entered the password to log in to the police system, and quickly found out the relevant information of this family. Within 10 minutes, he typed out two pieces of paper.

Shen Junci leaned over and asked, "Have you found any evidence?"

Gu Yanchen showed him: "Let's go together, let's ask another round."

Qi Yi'an had just placed the family in the meeting room, poured some hot water for them, and saw Gu Yanchen walking in without saying a word.

Shen Junci and Wen Wan also followed behind. They did not enter the house, but stood far away where they could hear their conversation.

The man inside stood up: "Comrade police, can we go?"

Gu Yanchen reached out his hand to stop him, and squatted down to look at the ten-year-old child: "Ji Hong, right? I'll give you another chance. What did your brother eat last night?"

The child had stopped crying at this time, and looked at his parents helplessly.

Gu Yanchen pulled his shoulders and exerted force on his hands, forcing him to look at himself: "To be precise, what did you let your brother eat?"

Ji Hong began to wipe his tears again: "Last night, last night...he ate some lychees."

The man was surprised: "I didn't buy lychees for you at all, how did you get them?"

Ji Hong cried bitterly, and kept on crying: "My younger brother stole it from the passing orchard... I told him not to steal it, but he couldn't help but be greedy..."

Lychees are also produced near Penang, and there is a lychee garden in the south. Although most of the owners have dogs, fences and fences, and cameras, it is still not enough for children to steal them.

Gu Yanchen asked Ji Hong: "Do you know that eating too much lychee will kill you?"

Ji Hong cried and shook his head.

At this moment, the parents sitting on the side were anxious: "How can such a big child know such a thing?"

"Comrade policeman, even if the child dies from eating lychees, it is our bad luck..."

Gu Yanchen looked up at the man: "Ji Jian'an, the semicolon of your phone is used by your eldest son, right?"

The man froze for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes... I am often busy outside, and the old man often goes to the hospital, so I left him a cell phone."

Gu Yanchen put a piece of paper on the table with a series of search records on it.The corresponding mobile phone number is the extension number of the man.

The above are still normal "Tiga Ultraman is the most powerful", "When will the second season of Dinosaur Squad be released".

The next few searches turned into "Will eating lychees kill people?" "How much lychees you eat will kill you."

It is even more shocking to see "Is it illegal to kill a minor?"

Moreover, the relevant records lasted for several days, and the relevant records were marked in red, with a total of 78 records.

This wasn't even a sudden accident, but a well-planned murder case.

The boy waited several months until the lychees were ripe and ready for sale before completing the murder.

Parents fight, get busy, neglect their kids, and the devil knows no age.

If it wasn't for the fact that the mother happened to send the child's body for inspection, and Shen Junci saw the problem, it would have been a perfect murder case that was not easy to detect.

Gu Yanchen looked at Ji Hong again, and asked forcefully, "The lychee gardens are now under surveillance, and anyone who stole the lychee will be able to find out at a glance. Let me ask you one last time, did you steal the lychee, or did your brother steal it?"

Ji Hong looked up at Gu Yanchen, with a hint of timidity on his face, and replied in a childish voice: "...It was really my brother who stole it. I didn't lie..."

"Facing the police, you have already thought about this kind of argument, right? Push everything to your brother..." Gu Yanchen handed him another chat record, "Deleting the local record, you can only deceive yourself, the server will Write down everything you say."

The parents, too, looked down at the chat log printed out.

"I'm so happy to finally get rid of that nasty little kid."

The other party was obviously stunned by this sentence: "What do you mean, something happened to your brother?"

"Well, he's dead. He ate a lot of lychees and told me, thank you brother."

This is a conversation he had with his classmates this morning.

A few simple words make people shudder.

So far, the evidence is solid.

Ji Hong watched, lowered his head for a moment and raised his head again.

Instead of the cowardice and pity just now, hatred appeared on his face, and the child turned to stare at his parents: "Since you want to give birth to me? Why did you give birth to another child. I just hate He, I just want him to die, why should I take care of him? He will only drag me down for the rest of my life!"

After saying these words, the pair of parents were stunned, as if they didn't know the person in front of them.

The child is still talking: "Originally everything was fine, but after he came, everything changed. He cried every day, and he had to take away my mother's care, my things, and the pocket money my father gave me. , he broke my toys, broke the screen of the mobile phone, and the family has less and less money, and you started to quarrel, all because of him..."

His eyes were red, Gu Yanchen went to pull him, but the child reached out and grabbed his wrist, making a gesture to bite him.

The child had a ferocious face, showing sharp canine teeth, like a tyrannical mad dog.

Gu Yanchen pushed him away: "It's not enough to kill the police and want to attack the police? If your parents didn't teach you well, I don't mind doing it for you."

The child took two steps back and glared at the wall: "According to the Law on the Protection of Minors..."

Shen Junci's voice on the side was cold: "The law on the protection of minors is to protect innocent children, not a little bastard like you who deliberately murders."
