It is hard for everyone to believe that this has anything to do with the corpse in front of them. As a forensic doctor, as long as he has the knowledge within his professional field, isn't it enough?

Among these people, only Shiho knows...

In addition to the field of forensic science, Ogata is also good at biology and medical technology. He should have read any knowledge that can be related to the human body!

Because he can always be seen in the library of Columbia University.

Zhibao once noticed that this guy not only reads his own professional books, but also often cross-border to read "idle books" of other majors.

"Is there a way for everyone to understand?" Jo walked to Ogata's side at this time and whispered.

Ogata nodded, he wanted to choose some simple and easy-to-understand words as much as possible to unfold the inferences he had conceived in his mind around the corpse.But whether some of the forensic terminology mixed in the middle is easy to understand is a matter of opinion.

"Simple sudden death is an illusion on the surface. The real cause of death starts with the accumulation of water in the respiratory tract of the corpse, that is, the mouth, nasal cavity, and lungs." Ogata stretched out his gloves With the palm of his hand, he gently pressed the sides of the deceased's nose, and carefully parted the deceased's lips with two fingers.

All eyes fell to where Ogata was pointing.

"A large amount of saliva overflowed from the mouth and nose of the deceased, and the saliva was viscous. You must know that we are now in a morgue where the temperature has reached subzero, but the body of the saliva retained by the deceased has not completely condensed, which shows a One thing! That is, the deceased must have taken alcoholic beverages before his death. This is the so-called alcoholism. After alcoholism, the human body will produce a digestive enzyme. After this digestive enzyme is fused with gastric juice, it will quickly decompose alcohol content, to achieve the digestive process of excretion from the body. Therefore, digestive enzymes should appear in the digestive tract, rather than mixed in the saliva left in the mouth and nose of the deceased."

Russell was taken aback, and the others slowly chewed on what Ogata said.

"In addition to this point, we have to mention a habit of the deceased." Ogata held up the stiff palm of the deceased hanging on the side of the body with his hand, and gently opened the gaps between the two fingers, slowly Said: "Between the two fingers of the deceased. I noticed that the skin on the inside showed a faint yellow color. This is not the so-called necrosis, but a phenomenon that also occurs in living people. The deceased smoked, And it is long-term, the light yellow color here is formed because of the smoke cluster of smoke tar."

"Is this directly related to the cause of death?" At this time, Zhang Kai, the investigation officer who had helped Ogata speak, asked.

Ogata nodded, and replied: "People who usually smoke have dry lips and throat, and they definitely don't drink too much. So much saliva containing digestive enzymes reflexively flows out from the respiratory tract and esophagus! In other words, what constitutes this kind of There is no connection to heart attack, which is defined as the direct cause of death, but other causes, causing the changes we now understand."

Shiho recalled the analysis and inferences that Ogata had said to her at the scene of the crime. Things that sounded insignificant were actually linked together.

"Usually, a person's saliva will flow out uncontrollably, which can only explain a few situations! First, this person is in an unconscious state. Second, there are some special environmental factors that cause the human body to function in an unconscious state. Third, once the above-mentioned situation occurs, the first two places where lesions will appear, one is the lungs, and the other is the respiratory trachea!"

"From the right side of the deceased's lungs, that is, the position close to here." As he said, Ogata pressed a certain part of the corpse with finger pressure, trying to let everyone see clearly, and he moved away from his own figure .

Russell moved to the front, and as Ogata's deduction gradually improved, he gradually realized that he seemed to have underestimated the young man's level.

Others, like Russell, have seen for themselves what Ogata is saying now.

"There is an obvious lump. However, it is not caused by ordinary water accumulation, but the swelling of the lungs formed by the continuous influx and loss of fluid, so when you press it down, it will leak from the deceased's outer chest. There are ups and downs." Ogata's fingers continued to move, and there were some scalp-numbing changes on the surface of the corpse.

On the skin surface of the upper body of the dead body, bubble-like swellings appeared. With the control of Ogata's finger pressure, these bubbles finally reached the neck of the dead body, where the respiratory tract was located.

"Emphysema, and the rigor condition here." Ogata pointed to the discolored skin of a certain part of the corpse: "Most people will see the plaque at first sight, and as a 'heart attack' One of the evidences here is that the shape of the corpse spot here is indeed very important, but it covers up the muscle activation shape here, that is, the rigor after death. This is because the deceased had a large-scale breathing when he was dying. Systemic lesions, causing chest ups and downs, even sobbing and cardiac load..."

"However, the heart load is far from reaching sudden arrest, or the direct cause of sudden death! The real hidden truth is that the deceased's breathing was blocked, and there was external pressure, which caused the backflow of body fluids and blocked the respiratory organs. Functional failure of the lungs, resulting in death!"

Ogata looked at Russell, and said with great certainty: "So, once you obtain the consent of the deceased's family and perform an autopsy, you will find that the deceased's heart is not broken! What is really broken is the human heart." .”

After he finished speaking, he looked at Jo, the only police officer who believed in him: "The murderer created a specific environment, which made the deceased exert suffocating pressure while unconscious and drowsy."

"What kind of specific environment is it?" Jo couldn't wait to ask Ogata, because Russell didn't intervene from the beginning to the end. Obviously, everything he said was very credible.Even Russell, who is a professional forensic doctor, was shaken.

Ogata glanced at the body, and then asked jo: "Should the police have kept a good photo of the crime scene?"

Before Jo could answer, the police officer of the forensics department who had been listening next to him interrupted and said, "We have photos of the crime scene for the record, come with me."

......

Everyone came to a conference room.

The projection technology of this era is very backward.But in New York, USA.But it has been applied to the police.

"These photos are taken. It is the case record that we made at the scene of the crime afterwards." The police in the evidence collection department skillfully set up the projection equipment, and everyone looked at the projection screen.

A magnified photo of the crime scene is refracted on the projection screen. Because it is about [-] inches in size, everyone can see the details clearly. In addition to the close-ups of individual items in the follow-up, it can be said that everything on the scene is completely untouched. It is displayed in everyone's line of sight.

Shiho looked at Ogata, and saw him standing calmly and calmly on the side of the curtain, and began to analyze his thoughts.

If we talk about the initial impression of Ogata.I still think that he is a peer who reads a lot and has a smarter mind... Then looking at it now, the image of Ogata Yusuke has been left in Shiho's heart, and it is difficult to erase memory.

Just because of his charm that makes people have to believe it!

"The scene of the crime was in a girls' dormitory in our school. The furnishings at the scene were not chaotic, so around the bed of the deceased, let's look at the most basic furnishings."

Then, in front of everyone, Ogata made a brief judgment on the close-ups of the objects flashing on each projection screen.

Although no one made a sound, everyone's face was focused.Obviously listening to what Ogata said seriously.There is only one reason, the autopsy just now.Has proven his ability.

After skimming through the items left at the crime scene one by one, it was finally his turn that Ogata was silent for a few seconds without speaking.

All the police, including Jo and Zhibao, focused their eyes on it.

"This is..." Jo asked with a look on his face, a little strangely.

Ogata explained slowly: "This is the murder weapon that created the whole case and caused the real cause of death of the deceased!" As he said, he turned around and looked at the thing that surprised everyone.

On the projection screen, what appeared in everyone's eyes was an inconspicuous fan on the head of the bed!

The fan is the old-fashioned one with four-wheel blades, and it doesn't even have the function of shaking the head to blow air. It can only be said to be a very simple cooling device.

But no one thought that something as simple as that, even not close to it at all, would be the 'external pressure caused by a specific environment' that Ogata deduced in the previous autopsy process!

Because the murder weapon, generally speaking, is harmful.

But the fan...

"Is it really possible for a fan to kill someone?" The policeman in the investigation department was a little stunned, pointing to the fan in the photo, and asked Ogata, who was standing calmly under the projection screen.

Ogata knew that everyone was suspicious, so he explained: "The murderer used a method, an uncommon method of killing people. It has to be said that this method has been applied to some biology, as well as related to the human body. pathology, to be able to fully carry out such a method of killing."

"First of all, before returning to the dormitory, the deceased had consumed a large amount of alcoholic beverages. After falling asleep, the consciousness of the whole person was close to a coma state. In psychology, it is called deep sleep. I think this description is very appropriate. In the form of deep sleep Under the circumstances, the consciousness of the deceased is vague, so the murderer is given a certain degree of opportunity to arrange a specific killing link."

"First of all, the head of the deceased is facing the head of the bed. There is a small table and cabinet there, which is usually used by the deceased to place items. An electric fan is arranged there, which is what we see now. Then The next thing to do is to keep the deceased's pillow as low as possible, and then align the rotation direction of the electric fan with the deceased's face as much as possible, that is, the direction of mouth, nose and breathing. Then the murderer turns on the electric fan and chooses the highest wind power , allowing a large amount of airflow to flow into the respiratory system of the deceased."

"Then, in order to prevent the police or other people from discovering the abnormality of the electric fan at the scene of the crime, the murderer turned the rotary knob of the electric fan's running time to the maximum, and could automatically turn off its switch after more than an hour. This sounds very simple, but it can be used to kill people and create the illusion of sudden death! " Ogata finally threw out all his thoughts, and what he saw was everyone's unbelievable expressions.

Jo found it difficult to understand the fact that "an electric fan kills people", so he quickly asked, "How...how did this happen?"

"I think Dr. Russell should have noticed it!" Ogata turned to Raphael, whose face was gloomy, and smiled slightly.

Everyone saw Russell lowered his head, as if trying to think about something.

After a long time, he looked up at Ogata, and said in a low voice, "You mean the pores on the surface of the corpse shrink?"

"That's right." Ogata nodded: "There are some detailed symptoms on the surface of the deceased's corpse, which are the pinhole-like plaques formed on the surface of the corpse after the shrinkage of the pores mentioned by Dr. Russell. These corpses The reason why spots gradually appear after the death of the corpse is that the pores of the deceased's body were blocked before death, which led to the expansion of recovery after death. In short, these pores are like a stretched rubber Muscles, once let go, will immediately return to their original shape. It’s just that it happens to the human body, and it takes a longer period of time.” (To be continued..)
