Psychic assistant to the forensic doctor

Chapter 4 Cheng Jin and His Person
There was a pungent smell of disinfectant in the air, mixed with the rotten smell of corpses.On the ceiling are four bright fluorescent lights, which are even more dazzling on the white tiles.At the end of the room are rows of refrigerators, giving off a gloomy atmosphere.

This is the anatomy room of Haicheng Bureau.

Cheng Jin was wearing a white coat and a mask, with only a pair of deep and sharp eyes showing on his face.He picked up the scalpel and gently cut open the scalp of the corpse on the dissecting table, exposing the white skull.

He lifted the scalp, carefully observed the bleeding area inside the scalp of the deceased, and said to his assistant Shen Qi: "There are two obvious bleeding areas inside the skin of the deceased, one is on the forehead and the other is on the occipital."

"Cheng Forensic Doctor, hasn't that criminal turned himself in and pleaded guilty? And he has already admitted that he accidentally pushed the deceased, that is, his wife to the ground and hit a hard object, resulting in the death of the deceased." Shen Qi complained while recording. road.The subtext is: Forensic Doctor Cheng, you don't need an autopsy at all, the murderer has already been punished, and the cause of death is obvious!

Cheng Jin picked up the electric craniotomy saw and sawed open the skull of the deceased, and then took out the bloody brain tissue.

"Sometimes, even the murderer himself doesn't know how he killed the victim," Cheng Jin said while picking up the brain tissue of the deceased to observe carefully, "For example, if a criminal stabbed the victim many times, he divided Do you know which knife killed the victim?"

Shen Qi felt that there was some truth, but isn't the autopsy and finding out the cause of death of the deceased just to solve the case?Now that the case has been solved, is there any need to waste time doing an autopsy?
Could it be that forensic doctor Cheng hasn't touched a corpse for too long recently, and he doesn't want to let go of one after he catches it?
Don't be so hungry!
But I have to say that although the autopsy scene was bloody and had to endure the stench, watching Cheng Jin's autopsy was a pleasure.His knife skills are clean and neat, his technique is quite skilled, and his eyes are very focused. He can only be described in two words, professional.

No wonder he became a senior forensic doctor in the city bureau at such a young age.

Moreover, Cheng Jin and Fang Rui, the captain of the criminal police team, are also known as the two treasures of the Haicheng City Bureau. As long as they are two swords together, there will be no case that the City Bureau cannot solve.

"Sure enough." Cheng Jin said suddenly, he used tweezers to gently poke some small blood vessels, his eyes fixed on the frontal lobe in the brain tissue of the deceased.

"Forensic Cheng, do you think there is something strange about the cause of death of this deceased?" He just said, although Forensic Cheng "loves dead bodies like crazy", he didn't go to the point of autopsy when he encountered a corpse. He must have found something suspicious.

"Remember why the suspect accidentally killed his wife?"

"Remember. Speaking of which, this criminal is quite unlucky. Recently, he was always abused by his wife. He fought back with great difficulty, but accidentally beat his wife to death." Shen Qi couldn't help but feel sorry for the criminal. He was really alive. It's not easy.He is simply a model of strict wife management, but he is also a victim.

"According to what he said, his wife's temperament has changed drastically since three months ago, and she has violent tendencies. She will attack others inexplicably and cannot control her emotions. So I have a guess that the brain tissue of the deceased may have been recovered within three months. It was already injured before." Cheng Jin said while continuing to move her hands.

"I remember that damage to the frontal lobe can change a person's personality, just like Phineas Gage." Shen Qi suddenly remembered the classic case in the textbook: A worker survived miraculously after being pierced through the brain by an iron rod. All functions of the body are good, but he has changed from a good man dedicated to his work and family to a criminal with a bad personality, and what he has damaged is the frontal lobe of the brain.

"I checked the brain tissue of the deceased just now and found a mung bean-sized aneurysm on the frontal lobe of her left brain." Cheng Jin pointed the aneurysm to the assistant, "I think it's this brain tumor." It compressed the cranial nerves, affected the function of the frontal lobe, and caused the deceased's personality to change."

Shen Qi photographed the aneurysm with a camera, and then recorded this important discovery in his notebook.

"Have you noticed that this tumor has ruptured?" Cheng Jin did not immediately tell the cause of death of the deceased, but guided Shen Qi to find out by himself.

"I understand. The sudden impact ruptured the aneurysm of the deceased, resulting in subarachnoid hemorrhage." Shen Qi inspected the brain tissue of the deceased and found traces of bleeding. "This is the real cause of death of the deceased."

"That's right!" Cheng Jin was quite satisfied with this assistant. Although the reaction was a bit slow, the basic knowledge was solid.

"It's really a pity. If this tumor could be discovered earlier, maybe this family tragedy would not have happened." Shen Qi looked at the deceased, shook his head, and sighed.

"Patients with brain tumors will have symptoms such as headache and vomiting at the beginning of the onset, and may have severe memory impairment, and their concentration and comprehension are also significantly reduced. People with a little common sense should be able to judge the deceased from these symptoms I'm sick and need to see a doctor." Cheng Jin couldn't figure out why the deceased hadn't been sent to the hospital for treatment since his condition was so serious.

"Cheng Forensic Doctor, the couple of the deceased are just ordinary workers and don't know these 'common senses'." Shen Qi reminded helplessly.No way, Chengda Forensic Medicine always takes it for granted that this medical knowledge is common sense known all over the world.

Cheng Jin was stunned for a moment, and then changed the subject nonchalantly: "You should write up the autopsy report as soon as possible, and hand it over to Officer Ouyang who is in charge of this case."

"That's right, if the deceased's cause of death was a ruptured aneurysm, then the sentencing standard would be different." Only then did Shen Qi realize that their discovery was very valuable.

"Remember, the duty of the forensic doctor is to investigate the truth of the death, not simply to solve the case." Cheng Jin returned the deceased's organs to their original positions, and then stitched the deceased's scalp back together with needles and threads.

Shen Qi felt that his previous thoughts were too superficial, and he also understood that the reason why Cheng Jin became a senior forensic doctor at a young age was probably because he persistently pursued the truth and never missed any opportunity to dissect a corpse.

It seems that to become a qualified forensic doctor, one must reach the state of "crazy about corpses"!

"Cheng Forensic Doctor, Xiao Shen," a policeman knocked on the door and shouted, "The team asked you to go to a meeting. A very special case happened."

special case?Shen Qi had an ominous premonition, it couldn't be some corpse dismemberment case, right?Thinking of what corpses he had to deal with, Shen Qi was in a bad mood.

After hearing this, Cheng Jin's eyes flashed with excitement. He likes challenges and all kinds of corpses.Of course, as a forensic doctor, his idea is inappropriate.

But he has always felt that he is not only a forensic doctor, but also a researcher. He is exploring the secrets of death, which is why he chose this forensic job.
