Lin Gao Qiming

Chapter 1444 Second Report

Mu Min waited in front of the counter for a while. The mortuary duty officer, an obscene old man with a crumpled black uniform jacket and open neckline, reluctantly put down the book in his hand, and slowly inspected according to the regulations. got his credentials.

Obviously, Mu Min's sudden visit disturbed his leisure time.

When he realized that the visitor was a senior police officer of the national police and a veteran, he quickly buttoned up his collar and stood at attention with his heels in a nondescript manner.

"Chief..."

"Let's get down to business." Mu Min realized that although she was wearing a uniform, the other party obviously turned a blind eye to her badge of police rank.Of course, it is unrealistic to ask too much of a "helper" who has spent most of his life in the county government office.

The attendant recorded the names of the visitors in the register.

"Which body do you want to see?"

"The student from the maid's school who arrived on the morning of September [-]st."

The watchman's expression froze for a moment, and the momentary change did not escape Mu Min's eyes.

"something wrong?"

"Chief, I have a small problem." The duty officer was a little nervous. Even though he had worked for the "Australian" for several years, he was still not used to it: the work of the Daming County Government was much simpler, far less so than that of the Australians. What complicated rules and regulations, as long as you coax your boss well, it doesn't matter what you do.In the Australian yamen, there is always an atmosphere of menacing tension.

"what's up?"

"Chief Su has given instructions that no one can look at No. 1633090107001 without her permission..." The duty officer had a flash of inspiration, "Please allow me to call and ask for instructions."

After a few minutes, he put down the phone with a frightened expression:

"I'll show you the way. Please be considerate..."

"Don't say polite words." Mu Min said seriously, "Lead the way."

The watchman selected a bunch of keys from a pile of keys and led the way.

After opening the last iron door, there was a monotonous corridor, and the watchman turned on the light.Illuminating the brick spiral staircase at the end of the hallway that seemed to lead to hell.Next to the spiral staircase is a square elevator shaft surrounded by four iron columns and iron grid panels.A black iron plate is suspended in the air with chains - this is the human elevator leading to the basement - specially used to transport the dead.

Mu Min followed the attendant down the spiral staircase illuminated by the faint electric light.The stairs are high.Walking to the entrance hall, the attendant on duty turned on the electric light, and the cold white light of the fluorescent lamp instantly illuminated the cold room covered with white tiles.

There are three tightly closed iron-clad gates in the hall, all with big locks.Arabic numerals are painted on the door leaf with black paint.

The watchman lit a cigarette, not to cover up the smell of decay—the temperature in the mortuary is very low, and the body does not smell bad—but to cover up the pungent smell of embalming agents.

"Is it number 1633090107001, a student of the maid school?"

"Correct."

"In morgue number one."

The attendant unlocked the padlock of a door, opened the heavy door, and the cold air rushed in.Mu Min could not help but shudder.The duty officer turned on the light switch, and the two walked into the icehouse-like morgue. The pale fluorescent lights on the ceiling made the room look even colder.The white-tiled floor slopes slightly toward the center of the room, where the gutter covers.Can hear the business of running water running down the gutters from the melting ice.To control humidity, special racks on either side of the wall are filled with replaceable rough paper bags containing ashes that act as dehumidifiers.On the other two walls are large wooden drawers covered in galvanized iron.The dead bodies are placed there.The watchman took a binder off the wall and looked through it.

"This one." He tucked the clip under his arm, walked to a large drawer, and pulled it open.Mu Min walked over and uncovered the white sheet covering the corpse.

The frozen body looked very different from the day she went to survey the scene.It can be seen that the deceased has been dissected.Mu Min breathed on his cold palms, reached into the underwear pocket of his coat, and took out a pair of disposable cotton gloves coated with a layer of tung oil as a simple substitute for latex gloves
She put on the gloves, took the dead man's arm, and carefully looked at the hands and arms of the dead body.After a long time, she let out a breath and said to the attendant:
"Okay."

It took Mu Min back on the ground for a while before he felt the chill covering his whole body recede a little.Just as she was about to leave the forensic center, she saw a tall, pale figure waiting for her in the foyer.

"Can I talk to you?"

"Of course." Mu Min seemed to have anticipated this meeting.

The conversation took place in Su Wan's office.Because it wasn't office work, she lit the gas lamp and ordered the night shift secretary to pour two cups of tea.Then she closed the door and asked:
"You are in charge of this case?"

"Yes."

"Does the Executive Committee have any instructions on this case?"

"No instruction." Mu Min laughed strangely, "Why do you think the Executive Committee will give instructions on this case?"

"A student from a maid school didn't stay well in his own dormitory, and died in the old man's dormitory for some unknown reason. You are still in charge of the case——I find it strange that the executive committee didn't give instructions."

"You are very sensitive. But apart from Xiao Zishan calling to ask, the executive committee has not asked about this matter." Mu Min said, "What do you want to tell me?"

"What did Director Xiao say?"

"Find out the truth and report it as soon as possible."

Su Wan seemed relieved: "Have you read my autopsy report?"

"I've seen it." Mu Min nodded, "This report is very incomplete. There is no conclusion on whether he committed suicide."

Su Wan's report was a typical case of leaving it alone, only explaining the detected injuries and the cause of death, and there was no conclusion on whether she was a homicide.Mu Min has worked in criminal investigation for five years, and has handled more than a dozen cases of falling from buildings. Based on her experience, this is a typical homicide case.

According to the content of the report, the deceased was obviously pushed down to death after being beaten with heavy objects and violence.

Generally speaking, jumping from a building will not cause multiple vertebral fractures and massive bleeding in the chest and abdomen. Heavy bleeding in the head is possible, but it is not accompanied by skull fractures.

Landing on the front will cause sternal rib fractures and frontal bleeding, but it will not cause multiple fractures of the spine. Landing on the back will cause multiple fractures of the spine but will not cause frontal fractures.The deceased suffered two fractures, front and back, which is unlikely given the height of the three-story dormitory.

"This is a homicide case," Su Wan said with a relaxed face, "Because Mu Min was in a hurry, so I only submitted the first forensic report."

"I understand that you have to wait for the executive committee's statement. But for us, finding out the truth is the most important thing. Who owns the truth is not our business."

"I have a second inspection report."

"Just tell me about the content of your second report." Mu Min said, "I'm short on time."

"To put it simply, inadvertent falls are usually head-on-foot landings, usually with severe leg fractures, but head injuries may not be present. Frontal landings are common in spontaneous falls, usually with frontal fractures and head injuries. But even if there is a serious fracture in the spine, the abdomen will not bleed. If you land on the front and have abdominal bleeding, it is basically a stone or something like the abdomen hitting the ground."

Mu Min listened very carefully and wrote down the main points in the notebook.

"Although I haven't visited the crime scene, my students brought me a complete site investigation report and photos. There are no stones on the ground where the building fell."

"so what?"

"So Lin Xiaoya actually fell from the building behind her back, and she was beaten before she fell - the bleeding in the abdomen was the internal injury caused by the beating."

Falling from behind the landing is usually a homicide, that is, falling from the building facing the murderer being pushed down or other factors.Because it landed on the back, it will be accompanied by severe vertebral fractures.

Mu Min nodded: "So I'm sure he killed it."

"That's right, you went to see the corpse just now, you must have noticed the defensive injury on her arm."

"Yes, I saw it."

"Although I am not an expert on traces, I can probably tell that it was caused by a fairly strong stick-nine times out of ten it is hardwood. If there is a physical evidence report at the scene, you will probably find this murder weapon. Of course, naturalized The level of forensic personnel of the people is too low, and it is very possible to miss it."

"I will conduct an on-site investigation myself." Mu Min scribbled a few strokes on the notebook, "Have you done a sexual assault test?"

"Of course, I'm a licensed forensic doctor." Su Wan straightened her flat chest, "It's strange, no."

"Why do you say 'weird'?"

"The old man's residential area is full of otaku with all kinds of weird ideas in this time and space, and our maids are absolute slaves who have no right to life or personal right-I have such a brainstorming association, you should understand it. right."

"Okay, you continue." Mu Min said helplessly
"Because the hobbies of the veterans have their own merits, even though I have checked that Lin Xiaoya's penis is complete, I have done all kinds of sexual assault tests I want. As a result, all the tests showed that Lin Xiaoya had not been sexually assaulted before her death. In addition, She had no bandages, whips, minor burns or other similar injuries. I found no signs of sexual intercourse on her clothing or skin."

There was obvious disappointment in Su Wan's tone, which made Mu Min shiver again.

"However, something was found in the test of the stomach contents." Su Wan took out a page from the drawer, "I don't know what the maid school gave them, but it seems to be a little too good .”
