Conan: The Mechanic

"Why does this corpse feel weird, has it been disposed of?" Haibara Ai's expression was quite strange as she examined the corpse's legs. "Really, I've never seen such a weird corpse."

"I feel that I've been treated, it's hard to judge..." Qianyu curled her lips, so she was about to start cutting the corpse-because the corpse had old, large-scale incisions near the neck, and there was a shot in the chest. Therefore, he directly chose to cut from the abdomen without the old injury in order to protect the old cuts there. "But anyway, I think... ah?"

Chiba suddenly made a surprised voice.

"What's wrong?" Haibara Ai was a little surprised at Chiyu's gaffe at work, and when she turned her head, she saw Chiyu's surprised expression staring at the lower abdomen of the corpse.

At this moment, Chiba was holding a piece of skin on the abdomen of Miss Nami of the deceased. Normally, when he picks up a piece of skin like this, the subcutaneous fat attached to the skin at the two places pinched by his **** will also They were pulled up together, and folded with such a [kneading] action, revealing a thickness approximately equal to the sum of the thicknesses of the two layers of subcutaneous fat.

But now, the two abdominal skins in Qianyu's hands were almost sticking together as if they had no thickness, as if it was not a normal person's body at all, but just a dry human skin.

"Open it and have a look," Haibara Ai also realized what the problem was, and hurriedly urged Chiba. "Cut it open and see!"

"Well, I'll do it." Qian Yu's face was quite strange. After twisting the two layers of human skin in his hand, he seemed to feel that it was as flexible as two layers of cowhide, which was quite difficult to use, so he simply used three layers of human skin. The fingers clamp the two skins, so that the skin between the two skins is folded in a U-shape, providing a force point that can stably withstand the force of the knife. As the scalpel slid across the skin, the skin surface burst.

And Chiba's complexion did not ease at all, because after turning Nami's skin out, the inner side of the skin was not the yellow color of fat at all, but the flesh color that belonged to the skin.

Using a knife, she lightly picked up a thin layer of skin, and showed Haibara Ai the internal organs below, and Qian Yu's face was full of hellish expressions. "She...her fat layer?"

If it is said that it is relatively thin to the touch, it can also be explained by the fact that the other party is too tall and there is too little subcutaneous fat. But if that's the case, subcutaneous fat doesn't seem to exist at all...

"And... where is her membrane?" Hai Yuanai frowned, looking at the clean organs that could be directly observed. "What about her...her fascia and omentum?"

Between the skin and the organs, there should be multiple barriers - fascia, omentum, etc. These literally exist in the form of membranes, and the barriers that should have prevented them from directly observing the organs have all disappeared.

Seemingly feeling the solemnity of the atmosphere, Chiba and Haibara Ai raised their heads tacitly and looked at each other.

This autopsy is destined to make them unforgettable for a long time.

……

"This person..." With a rather strange expression, Qianyu dragged Ai Haibara into the rest room where Gregory was. At this time, Gregory was reading another report. "This deceased... looks like a dry corpse on the surface, but... it's too weird."

"Like?" Putting away the report, Gregory looked at Chiba.

"Like our initial guess, the air-drying of the corpse was not directly absorbed by a desiccant like a coffin mummified corpse, but... The murderer peeled off Miss Nami's skin and carried out the fat under the skin and internal organs. At the same time, although the internal organs of the corpse were not removed like the mummy, they seemed to have been cleaned and disinfected with detergents. The autopsy found residual parachlorodiphenyl and naphthalene. . In other words... this corpse was embalmed with a very imaginative and executive method, so that the corruption of the whole corpse was highly suppressed. Then..." After Chiyu said this, she paused. After a moment, he took a deep breath before continuing. "Then we found in the body that although these organs are basically still in their original state, they have all been..."

"It's all in bulk, just like the murderer once took those organs out of the body and put them back in again."

"Well, then what?" Gregory continued to ask with a sullen face. "Any other discoveries?"

"Yes, first of all, big... It should be considered a small matter, that is, we archived the positions of those loose organs and took them out. After only the skeleton was left, we found that the other party connected the whole skeleton - using a drill or something like that. Things go through the bone~www.readwn.com~ and then the wire is passed through the bone hole for fixation. According to our inference, after the deceased is peeled and de-fat, the bones should be connected with steel wire first, and then the organs are in order Proceed..." Chiba continued to state. "Well, we don't know what method the other party used. Although there seems to be no connection between the organs, these organs have not been dislocated and deformed for a long time after the skin is put back on the body, and they are still in the same position. In the places where those organs should be. In short, put the organs back, and finally put on the human skin."

"The second point is that in the joint part, we observed bone wear and repeated bending of the steel wire at the joint. As for whether there is fatigue injury, we need to do related scans. In short... Combined with some corruption inside the corpse ——Although the main source of corruption, fat, has been removed, and even the brain has been removed, there is still deterioration in some places. This situation is otherwise stored for too long, even if the anti-corrosion measures cannot be completely suppressed The slow decay of the corpse, or else... It may be that there are some signs of decay before the body begins to be embalmed, and the very extreme embalming measures that follow are mainly to restore the previous loss. Considering our ten days I saw her at a banquet before, so I think the latter is more likely. After the embalming work, the body was moved many times in a puppet-like manner, and the range of physical movement was so large that The wires at almost all the joints show signs of being bent."

"As for the third point... I'm not really sure," Chi Yu said, and he hesitated. "Well, as for the cause of death...it should be due to the bullet pierced through the chest cavity, and the bullet I checked in my body...is rather strange."
