But under the gaze of everyone, Matsubara Katsura could only put down his fist unwillingly, and said with an ugly face:

"Yes, I beat my son."

"But that was three days ago, what does that have to do with my son's death?"

"He has been fine for the past three days, he can eat, sleep and go out."

"You don't want to say, what does my son's death have to do with me?"

"This..." Shigemi Asai was slightly taken aback when he heard that:

According to his observation, the wounds on the deceased's body had scabs, and the edges of the scabs were still not obvious.

According to the general law of the healing time of epidermis peeling, Asai judged that Matsubara Matsubara was not lying:

The deceased was indeed injured three days ago.

Since he was safe and sound for the past three days, why did he die suddenly today?

After all, Asai Chengshi has too little work experience, and he can't judge the cause of death.

So, like everyone else, he cast his curious eyes on Lin Xinyi.

And Lin Xinyi's answer is:

"I can't just jump to conclusions."

"After the autopsy, the truth will be revealed."

Chapter 225 Evidence from Anatomy

Anatomy room.

Hayashi Shinichi and Asai Chengmi had already changed into three-piece dissection suits and wrapped themselves tightly.

And this autopsy department is not good enough, but the equipment is good enough.

Therefore, Lin Xinyi specially used cut-resistant gloves this time.

A layer of cut-resistant gloves over latex gloves is very useful during dissection.

Because cut-resistant gloves are not as easy to be cut by a knife as latex gloves, wearing them can protect yourself from being cut by a scalpel as much as possible.

Moreover, it is also anti-slip while being cut-resistant.

For example, when opening the chest cavity of the deceased, you need to use your hands to peel off the fat of the belt and the muscle layer to both sides...

This kind of cut-resistant gloves can help increase friction and facilitate exertion, so as not to let those human tissues slide out if one is not gripped tightly.

"Asai, put on the gas mask too."

With that said, Lin Xinyi put on a high-end gas mask for himself.

He rarely used this kind of luxury goods before, and basically wore a disposable mask to go into battle.

But it's different now... The situation in the forensics class is that people are stupid and have a lot of money, so he doesn't need to help save money and materials.

So, after putting on high-end equipment, Hayashi Shinichi walked into the dissecting room with Narumi Asai.

And the police officers who started the attack had already helped send the deceased's body to the autopsy table in advance.

The young man named "Matsubara Kenichi" was lying quietly on the cold stainless steel dissecting table at this moment, waiting for someone to find out the truth for him.

"Mr. Lin..."

Asai Chengshi looked at the corpse that he had already checked, and finally couldn't help asking curiously:

"Matsubara Kenichi's death is really related to his father's violent abuse three days ago?"

"Is it possible that he died three days after the injury and did not show any serious symptoms?"

"Of course it is possible."

Lin Xinyi replied calmly.

And looking at Asai Narumi's eyes full of curiosity, he couldn't help but become serious:

"Asai, have you heard of crush syndrome?"

"Crush Syndrome" Asai's head jumped.

Unlike Mao Lilan, a rookie assistant who just started, Asai Narumi is a serious medical student from a prestigious school, with a solid enough medical foundation.

Without Lin Xinyi's detailed explanation, he can understand the professional knowledge Lin Xinyi mentioned:

"Crush syndrome is a series of pathophysiological changes that occur after the muscle-rich parts of the human body are squeezed by heavy objects for a long time."

"The main clinical manifestation is acute renal failure characterized by limb swelling, myoglobinuria, and hyperkalemia."

"Patients do die some time after being squeezed if left untreated."

Asai Chengmi carefully recalled what he had learned about crush syndrome:

To put it bluntly, it means that the body has been pressed by heavy objects for too long, and the pressure is fatal.

And this knowledge is no stranger to him, or to most Japanese medical staff today.

Because in the medical field, there was the earliest research on crush syndrome, and it was Japan that made crush syndrome known to the world.

This is mainly because…

There are many earthquakes in Japan.

After an earthquake, it often happens that the affected people are trapped in the ruins, and their bodies are squeezed by heavy objects for a long time.

Even if these victims are lucky enough to be rescued from the rubble by the rescue team, if they do not receive timely and professional treatment, they may die suddenly "bizarrely" after a period of time due to crush syndrome caused by prolonged pressure on their limbs.

This period may be hours or days.

For those who don't know:

When the wounded were rescued, they were obviously fine, why did they disappear after a few days of recuperation?

It was crush syndrome that killed them.

And this problem has gone unnoticed for many years.

It was not until the Great Hanshin Earthquake in Japan in 1995 that the medical community began to notice the existence of crush syndrome after rescuers discovered that many wounded died suddenly of unknown reasons after being rescued.

Therefore, in the current era, the research on crush syndrome in the medical field has actually just begun.

Asai Chengmi has been lurking on the island as a community doctor for the past two years. He has not studied in a hospital school, nor has he had the opportunity to get in touch with the latest medical research.

Although he has learned about crush syndrome from newspapers and periodicals, he doesn't know much about it:

"If it is crush syndrome, the patient may indeed die suddenly after 3 days due to acute renal failure caused by the deterioration of the condition."

"But... wasn't the deceased a victim of domestic violence?"

"He was injured by a blunt instrument blow, and he was not continuously squeezed by a heavy object. How could he have crush syndrome?"

Asai Naruto asked a little puzzled.

"Haha...you can't think too restrictively."

"Although the name of this disease is "squeeze", in fact, directly hitting the limbs can also cause crush syndrome."

"Because violent blows can cause subcutaneous hemorrhage and muscle damage similar to heavy objects, or even more serious."

"Severe trauma to the body will lead to microcirculation disturbance, insufficient tissue perfusion, and aggravate damage to kidney function."

"Myoglobin damage caused by injury forms methaemoglobin casts in acidic urine and deposits in renal tubules, degeneration and necrosis of renal tubules, leading to acute renal failure."

"..."

"In conclusion, 'squeezing' and 'beating' are not much different in terms of formation mechanism."

Lin Xinyi explained methodically:

"So in our forensics, no, not just forensics..."

"In the daily work of doctors, crush injuries caused by sticks, fists and feet are the most common."

"After all, natural disasters like earthquakes cannot happen every day."

"And the malice of people to people is much more severe than natural disasters."

"So that's how it is..." Asai Chengshi quickly realized:

"The deceased did not receive timely treatment after being subjected to domestic violence, so his condition continued to deteriorate during these 3 days, and finally he died suddenly on the street due to acute renal failure caused by crush syndrome!"

"And the murderer who killed him was none other than his bastard father who beat his family!"

With such an expression of indignation, he made his conclusion.

But Lin Xinyi, who raised this point, "sang the opposite tune":

"Don't use such a sure tone."

"We have to use autopsy to find evidence before we can draw a conclusion."

Lin Xinyi's attitude is always cautious.

He will speculate until he finds definite evidence, but will always remain in doubt.

Otherwise, this is looking for evidence with a purpose, which is prone to subjective deviations in investigations.

To put it to the extreme, it's like asking a redneck who is anti-scientific to do a scientific experiment to verify the effectiveness of masks

They must have concluded that the mask was completely useless and that it contained a mind control antenna.

"So, let's dissect!"

"Let the dead tell us why he died."

As soon as Lin Xin said so, he stood on the right side of the dissecting table and bowed solemnly to the deceased.

Narumi Asai bowed to the dead with equal earnestness.

He was a victim of the police's disregard for life and dereliction of duty before, so he can better understand the weight of the word "respect".

Then, the dissection officially began.

With the professional assistant Asai Naomi, Hayashi Shinichi's dissection work went very smoothly.
