Forensics

In the morning, Penang City Council.

Shen Junci and Qi Yi'an arrived at the forensic building. When they walked to the dissection room, they saw that several dissection rooms were full.

Qi Yi'an went to Wen Wan to explain that she was on duty last night, and she also signed to accept the corpse.

Qi Yi'an looked at it, and saw that there were a few more records in the forensic room, and asked, "Sister Wen, why are there so many accidents recently?"

Wen Wan just finished examining a dead body, her eye circles are still dark: "Don't mention it, there have been several cases recently. I was on duty last night, and I examined a person who jumped into the river all night, but in the morning I sent another person who hanged himself."

Qi Yi'an said politely: "Miss Wen has worked hard."

He really admires Wen Wan, the work of forensic medicine is dirty and tiring, almost all year round.He has just started this job not long ago, while Wen Wan has been working in the front line for many years.

"It's not hard, go back and help me bring the slices to the laboratory." Wen Wan looked at the form and showed them the way, "Your one is in the No. [-] dissecting room."

After Shen Junci signed the handover, he walked to the next door, and he put on rubber gloves skillfully.

The old man seen in the video is now lying on the dissection table.

Qi Yi'an was sorting out the equipment and preparing to record, when he suddenly thought that this seemed to be the first "celebrity" he dissected.

The old man was still wearing his clothes, and the plastic bag used for suicide was also put away, and they were taken together in the evidence bag.

Qi Yi'an checked the records brought over from the sub-bureau: "The old man's name is Fu Lijuan. He is 78 years old this year, with a height of 159 and a weight of 85."

The old woman's complexion was withered and yellow, her hair was silver-white, and she seemed to be in poor health.She is petite and thin, so her son was able to carry her up the mountain in the past.

Because they didn't go to the scene, they could only see the on-site inspection report and the scene photos taken by the forensic doctor of the branch bureau.

Shen Junci looked through the files first.The first few photos are on-site photos, which restore the scene from all angles.

The crime took place in the master bedroom. It can be seen from the photos that the house was newly built, the walls were painted white, and the furniture was also new. It can be seen that the live broadcast has improved their lives.

Because the old man has been paralyzed for many years, there are various daily necessities, water glasses and commonly used medicines on the bedside table next to him, and there is a TV remote control beside him.

Shen Junci carefully looked at the things on the bedside, and frowned slightly.He found something unusual.

Where he can see, there are no cell phones.

This situation is not seen too often now.Even if they are paralyzed, the elderly will definitely need a mobile phone to communicate with the outside world.Otherwise, lying in bed is no different from being on an island.

Especially for such paralyzed old people, they can't even call for help in an emergency.

When the old man was found, her body was half leaning on the head of the bed, and her head was covered with a white plastic bag. The plastic bag was so thick that it completely covered the old man's facial features. It was open, and the plastic film was tightly attached to the old man's face, which looked like a masked monster, a bit scary.

The plastic bag was tied inward at the neck, making a tight knot, and then the two handles were combined and put on the pole at the head of the bed, so that even if she struggled by herself, she would not be able to break free from the shackles.

In the lower part of the plastic bag, some nail scratches can be seen near the neck, but in the end, she did not scratch the plastic bag.

The old man just suffocated and died at the head of the bed.

There are also some photos of the suicide note. The suicide note is not too long, a total of half a sheet of paper.

Suicide note

My name is Fu Lijuan, today I decided to end my life.mine

My son has helped me a lot.I was able to live so long.sickness

Sorry for hurting me.If there is an afterlife, I hope

I still have a chance to sing for you.

Fu Lijuan

The handwriting of the suicide note was a bit scribbled, Qi Yi'an glanced at it: "Why does this suicide note not read right? It's written coldly, and it doesn't explain how to deal with the future, and the writing is not smooth."

Shen Jun resigned: "Let's look at the corpse first."

Only then did Qi Yi'an receive the information.

The two of them came to the dissection bed and took off the old man's clothes.

The corpse was lying on the autopsy bed. Fu Lijuan had just died within 24 hours, and there were plaques and rigor mortis.

Her mouth was slightly open, her face was obviously swollen, her lips and fingertips were all purple, and a less obvious red strangle mark could be seen on her neck.

Shen Junci was doing a physical examination: "The face is cyanotic and swollen due to lack of oxygen, and the corpse has already appeared obvious dark red corpse spots. There are more corpse spots on the back and buttocks. There are bedsores left by long-term bed rest under the buttocks, and the veins in the two legs Seriously warped."

He separated the corpse's eyes with his fingers, and looked at them with a medical flashlight: "The pupils have begun to become cloudy, and there are a lot of bleeding spots on the conjunctiva of the eyes."

Shen Junci comprehensively considered all the signs, and then looked at the body temperature measured by the forensic doctor of the sub-bureau after calling the police: "Overall, the time of death should be around four o'clock yesterday afternoon. The whole process may have lasted for about an hour."

Qi Yi'an compared the case file: "Yesterday at two o'clock in the afternoon, Qiu Wenhui went out. Only the old man was at home alone. He didn't come home until around six o'clock. The old man was dead, so he called the police."

Shen Junci took a blood sample from the corpse for examination, and began to prepare for the autopsy with a scalpel.

The old man's skin is dry, with very little fat, and there is almost no resistance when the scalpel is scratched.

After opening the abdominal cavity, the next step is to open the ribs.

They checked the heart first, and there were small bleeding spots in the lung pleura and epicardium of the deceased.

Shen Junci's voice was clear, and he continued: "It can be seen that Ta Diao's spot was indeed mechanically suffocated to death."

Qi Yi'an: "Looking at it this way, the judgment made by the branch office is not wrong?"

Shen Junci: "It depends on the results of the pathological examination."

Then he looked at the lungs of the corpse again, and Shen Junci suddenly let out a soft snort...

Qi Yi'an heard that something was wrong, so he leaned over.

The little forensic doctor looked at the internal organs and found no obvious abnormalities.But Shen Junci's reaction told him that there might be something wrong with this corpse.

Facing a fresh open corpse, Shen Junci held a scalpel in his left hand and a hemostat in his right, carefully observing the old man's internal organs and organs.

An old man who is paralyzed in bed and has been suffering from chronic illnesses, his internal organs are naturally not as fresh and healthy as a young man's.

Qi Yi'an couldn't help asking: "Teacher, is there something wrong?"

Shen Jun said: "The old man's organs have a certain degree of necrosis. Although it is only partial, this kind of situation is not common."

Qi Yi'an speculated: "Is it possible that the organ failure after a long illness?"

Shen Junci straightened up with a serious expression: "It's not like that."

The exhaust fan in the dissecting room was humming, Shen Junci frowned slightly, and he pressed the pause button.

The anatomy room was extremely quiet for a while.

Within a few seconds, the smell of the corpse wafted out.

Qi Yi'an also noticed it, and he covered his nose: "This smell is not right."

It stands to reason that a fresh corpse that has just passed away is like fresh meat, unless it is contaminated by feces, it will not have a strong smell.

The corpse of the old man in front of him, apart from the faint smell of blood, also had other smells mixed in it.The smell was strange and indescribable.

Qi Yi'an smelled it carefully for a long time before confirming it, but her internal organs gave off a smell of blood and corruption, which was clearly the smell that a corpse that had been dead for several days could have.

Shen Junci first looked at the stomach of the corpse, and touched the stomach pouch with the hemostat: "The stomach is empty, there are no apples in it, and no lunch."

He fiddled with his intestines: "The intestines are also relatively clean. She should not have eaten for a long time."

Suffocated to death, the old man did not lose control, which may be because the stomach has been emptied long ago, which is unreasonable.

Then Shen Junci began to check the lungs, because he died of suffocation, there were also bleeding spots on the lungs, and several lung lobes were obviously shrunk and smaller.

"The deceased's lungs had atelectasis, pulmonary interstitial infiltration, and slight hemorrhage..."

Shen Junci cut off a small piece of lung lobe, carefully inspected it with full concentration, and gently fiddled with the hemostat: "There is still a little pulmonary fibrosis in the lung..."

Death by suffocation will not cause lung disease.

Qi Yian stopped to record and asked: "Is that a disease? Does the disease affect your appetite? Is it emphysema?"

For the elderly who have been bedridden for a long time, it is normal not to seek medical treatment in time for such symptoms.

Shen Junci shook his head, he did not jump to conclusions: "I need to observe again."

Forensic doctor Shen was not sure, this was the first time he encountered such a situation.

Qi Yi'an was holding the autopsy report by the side, not knowing how to write it.

Shen Junci felt that the old man in front of him seemed to use his own corpse to pose a puzzle for the forensic doctors.

He tidied up his gloves and asked Qi Yi'an, "Have the results of routine blood tests come out?"

Qi Yi'an hurriedly said, "I'll take a look."

Blood routine is the fastest way to get the results. Qi Yi'an turned on the computer, and the test samples sent before have already produced the results.He quickly typed out the report.

Shen Junci took it and looked at various indicators: "White blood cells increase, platelets decrease..."

The autopsy had just come here, and before it was finished, they heard someone knock on the transparent glass window outside the autopsy room.

Shen Junci raised his head and saw Gu Yanchen coming at some time, standing in the corridor.

He came out, took off his gloves and mask and asked, "What's the matter?"

Gu Yanchen held a physical evidence bag in his hand, which contained the suicide note written by the old man. He said to Shen Jun, "I'll show you something interesting, maybe it will be helpful for your autopsy judgment."

Shen Junci didn't read it carefully just now, but now he took the original document and read it carefully, his eyelashes blinked: "This is..."

After re-reading it, he also found something strange in it. Although the words in this suicide note were scribbled, they were arranged very neatly.

Gu Yanchen reminded him: "Tibetan acrostic."

Shen Junci whispered the first word of each column: "I, son, harm, I..."

Corpses don't lie.

It seems that he is not worried too much, there is indeed something hidden in this case.

Gu Yanchen said: "The superficially dutiful son may be a rebellious son."
