Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 141 Autopsy
At this moment, the bow of our ship has touched the edge of the other party's ship. There is silence in the whole pirate ship, and the lights are on alone.Near the edge of the boat, there stood a man with his head tilted on the edge of the boat, with blood dripping from the corner of his mouth, and he did not know how long he had been dead.

It was he who was looking at us in the darkness just now.But it never occurred to us that he turned out to be a dead man.

How could this be?
Tofu immediately asked Mrs. Tang, pointing to the dead body and said, "This is your friend who was killed? Why don't these pirates know how to clean up after they killed someone?"

Miss Tang's complexion changed drastically, and she said, "No, he is a pirate! How did he die!"

pirate?

Our eyes couldn't help looking at the command room of the fishing boat, which was empty, and the whole fishing boat was as quiet as ever, as if there was no one alive.

Are these pirates fighting among themselves?
The four bald men gestured at us, telling us to stay put, and they went to the boat to check the situation.These four have received professional training and are naturally stronger than us.This kind of thing has to be handled by professionals, and it is not the time when we are in our early years.So we waited on the boat and watched the four of them turn over the edge of the boat and jump onto the other side's boat.

The four of them were agile, and immediately dispersed after boarding the boat, heading towards the bow, stern, and side of the boat respectively, and then quickly gathered in one place, shaking their heads to show that they hadn't found it. room away.The structures of these fishing boats are similar, and the command room should be connected to the passageway to the crew lounge on the first floor.

We followed their actions the whole time, until the four of them entered the command room, the figures disappeared.During this period, Mrs. Tang kept trying to rush onto the boat, but we stopped him. In the end, Tofu kicked him and cursed: "Damn, you can neither play with a gun nor use a stick. Go up to die, or you Use your bank card to smash them to death."

Mrs. Tang lost her temper after being scolded. The tofu still needs to be continued. I reminded him: "...the exhibition."

Tofu's expression froze, and he looked at Mrs. Tang cautiously, touched his waist that had just been kicked, and said, "Brother Tang, can I rub it for you?"

Mrs. Tang is also a person who is aware of current affairs. Even being scolded and kicked by Tofu, she just smiled wryly and kept staring at the place where the four bald men disappeared.Everyone pricked up their ears, listening to the movement on the boat.At this moment, the ghostly cries of the sea breeze and the sound of dark waves beating against the boat were intertwined, but the scream before was not heard.

Is that woman already killed?
Why did the pirates on the ship die here?Infighting?Or something happened?
After about five or six minutes, there was still no movement from the boat.These five or six minutes might not be a big deal to ordinary people, but for the four bald men, it was enough time for them to rush into the crew lounge and take a look.At this moment, if they really encountered pirates, there should have been gunshots.

But at this time, there was no sound at all, and the ship alongside us was like a dead ship without the breath of a living person.

I felt a sudden shock in my heart and said, "Something seems to be wrong."

Miss Tang looked at it with blood red eyes, and said, "I'll fight them!"

I shook my head slightly, signaling him not to be impulsive, if the situation inside, even the four bald men in full armor can't deal with it, wouldn't it be more death if we go?Wu Sidong snorted heavily, saying that I was timid, probably as if showing it in front of Gu Wenmin, pushed the black-rimmed glasses on his nose, and said: "There are guns down there, I'll take the weapon to see."

Tofu Ting gave me a long face. Seeing Wu Sidong running on me, he immediately showed a teasing expression and said, "Hey, you? Can you shoot a gun? Your thin, thin arm like a bamboo stick can hold it. A submachine gun? Also, can you aim with your [-]-degree myopic eyes?" I couldn't help but smile, as expected, my brother was the one who could rely on me, who was usually cowardly and cowardly, so it was suitable for me to step forward, but my words were too vicious It made Wu Sidong's angry face turn green.

Mrs. Tang on the side heard my analysis, and was not in a hurry to rush to the boat. She walked back and forth anxiously, staring straight at the cabin. He grabbed the collar and dragged him to our boat, leaving a trail of scarlet blood on the railing. He kicked and beat him fiercely. The whole corpse was left to be violent.

Although the deceased is dead, corpse abuse is really inappropriate, but Mrs. Tang's relatives and friends have all suffered, and now it is not an exaggeration to abuse corpses to vent their anger, but the scene is a bit disgusting. Duan Fei and Aying are two little girls. His disgusted face turned pale, and he immediately turned his head away.Gu Wenmin frowned and didn't say much. She suddenly turned around and entered the cabin, as if she was going to get something. After a while, she brought out an iron tray with white plastic gloves on her hands. On the tray were many similar things. A tool such as a scalpel.Wu Sidong calmed down now, and immediately went to show his courtesy, saying: "What needs to be done, I will help."

Gu Wenmin smiled at him, shook her head slightly, pointed at Mrs. Tang and said, "We'll talk about it after he's done venting." Mrs. Tang was kicking the corpse in a good mood, but she barely stopped when she heard this, and said, "What's the matter?"

Gu Wenmin nodded slightly, and said: "Something came out of his mouth just now, I think something is wrong with his death, I want to do a simple autopsy to find out the cause and time of his death." It turned out that what the man said just now I vomited something out, it was sticky, it was food that had been digested for a long time, but it was still mixed with black blood clots.

This point is a bit intriguing, because after a person dies, the blood in the body will soon become viscous due to stillness, but the process from viscous to completely turning into a black blood clot takes more than eight hours.According to Mrs. Tang, eight hours ago should be the time when he was robbed by pirates. Could it be that this person died at that time?

Wu Sidong, a 20-year-old student, although he has also carried out archaeological excavation activities, but all he came into contact with were piles of rotten skeletons. When he heard that Gu Wenmin wanted to examine fresh corpses, and looked at the tools in the tray, he probably didn't know what to do. There are heavy tastes such as dissection, and I can't continue talking for a while, obviously timid.

Gu Wenmin smiled slightly and said, "You don't need your help." Then he looked at me, and we both agreed, and immediately went to the corpse and began to conduct an autopsy on the corpse.Gu Wenmin was a police officer, and was in charge of the theft of cultural relics. There were many opportunities to come into contact with dead bodies, so a simple autopsy was not difficult.

Soon, she said: "There are a lot of corpse spots below the chest, no obvious trauma on the surface, no signs of being hit, no dislocation of bones, no strangulation marks, no symptoms of drowning, and the death time is about [-] to [-] hours , Strange..." She raised her head, looked at me suspiciously with dark eyes, and said, "Chen Xuan, how did you say he died?"

Tofu shuddered, and said, "You two, stop being sentimental about a dead body, can you? We were digging mushrooms upside down, not filming the scene of the death. Miss Gu, according to what you said, this person is at least I've been dead for more than eight hours... hiss." Before he finished speaking, he looked at Miss Tang vigilantly, and reacted quickly, and said, "So, you're lying."

Miss Tang was shocked, with a completely misunderstood expression, and her voice raised: "No! At that time, all the men were thrown into the sea, and I don't know what happened... Could it be..." He looked at Gu Wenmin suspiciously, obviously questioning whether there was something wrong with Gu Wenmin's professional ability.

According to Mrs. Tang, when he was thrown overboard, it was the time when the pirates committed crimes.But according to the autopsy results of Wen Min, this person was dead before that time.

Things were a little tricky, and the few of us looked at each other in blank dismay. We originally had a rescue mentality towards Mrs. Tang, but now we had to have a little doubt.Gu Wenmin also looked puzzled, frowned slightly, and said: "Sometimes the environment is different, and the indicators of the corpse will be affected. Maybe it's really my problem. Don't doubt each other. Look at Dilong. How to say."

Dilong is the group name of the four bald heads, and the army is all like this, so this nickname is also appropriate.

After all this tossing, it has been more than ten minutes since the four bald men boarded the boat, and there is still no news. Mrs. Tang's eager expression does not seem to be pretending. If I hadn't stopped me many times, he might have already copied Guy rushed aboard.It seems impossible for him to lie, but I also absolutely trust Gu Wenmin's professional ability. If so, what is going on with the corpse in front of me?

Out of the corner of my eye, I glanced down at the inhuman corpse that had been tossed by Mrs. Tang. He was placed on the deck in a distorted posture, with one eyeball broken, and was kicked by Mrs. Tang It was broken, and the rest of the place has no obvious trauma, so it is unlikely that it was poisoned to death.

It's too simple to kill someone at sea. One cuts and then throws it into the sea without anyone noticing. You don't even need to cut the knife, just throw it into the sea. It's no wonder that you don't die in the vast sea.

Like Mrs. Tang, the chances of meeting a boat and being rescued are very small. It can only be said that he is lucky.If you want to kill a person at sea, you don't need to use poison at all.The man's cause of death remains a mystery.I estimated the time for the four bald men to enter, and my heart sank even further.After 10 minutes, everyone couldn't stabilize.

I made some arrangements for everyone: "Professor Lin, you stay on board with the rest of the people. Xiaodou and Mrs. Tang are armed and ready to board with me." Gu Wenmin pulled my hand and said softly: "I Woolen cloth?"

In fact, I had selfish intentions in my heart. The boat was obviously weird. When the four bald men got on it, it was as if they were swallowed by a monster. There was no sound at all. I didn't want Gu Wenmin to take risks.

"You stay on board and take care of Professor Lin and the others."

She said: "I am confident that my marksmanship is better than yours."

I said: "Save me some face, so many people are watching, so don't expose me." I used to play most of the shotguns, pistols and small assault rifles, and I really didn't play much.

Gu Wenmin said: "Because it's your shortcoming, I can't let you go alone."
