ww.x.om "It's nothing." Zhong Lishi couldn't help but feel soft when he saw his adopted daughter kneeling on the ground crying, "Wouldn't it be worse to let the murderer escape? If you want to avenge Westley,
, catch the real murderer?"
Zhong Xiaoying nodded: "My daughter is willing."
"Are you afraid of seeing dead people?"
Zhong Xiaoying hesitated and said: "My daughter is afraid, but she will make herself not afraid."
"Okay, then you can help me pack my things and go get box No. 14."
Zhong Lishi packed up his things and took Zhong Xiaoying out of the customs building. Because Westley's murder has been characterized as a "political murder by hostile forces," the alert level in Kaohsiung has been raised, and security has been deployed at the door.
There was a military sentry post. A carriage had stopped at the door to pick up Zhong Lishi and his daughter.
The Kaohsiung Health Center that is responsible for autopsies is a third-level hospital according to the standards of the Ministry of Health - it is staffed by a veteran doctor. But this veteran doctor is very bad: Ren's job is to prevent epidemics. However, where there are veteran doctors, the configuration of medicines and equipment will also be different.
It is an indisputable fact that it is more advanced.
Kaohsiung Health Center is also a prefabricated wooden structure building. It is quite large. What is more interesting is that its foundation is built with stones. There is a basement below the house.
A nurse opened the door to the basement. A deep slope leading to an unknown direction appeared in front of Zhong Lizhi. Zhong Lizhi carefully carried a leather bag and followed the nurse forward, while Zhong Xiaoying carried a huge wooden box and
A wooden frame followed him.
Reaching the end of the passage, the nurse opened the door. Inside was a large brick vaulted cellar. Strictly speaking, it was a semi-basement. There were windows on the wall near the vault, allowing light to shine down from above.
In order to prevent people from peeping into the basement, there are shutters covered with iron screens outside the windows, and no outsiders are allowed to approach.
The electric light was on in the cellar - the health center is one of the very few places in Kaohsiung City that has its own wind turbine. It was very cold inside, and there was also a pungent smell of disinfectant. Dr. Zhong shivered when he walked in.
In the middle of the cellar is an autopsy table. There is a naked corpse on the table. Along the wall are a row of cabinets for storing miscellaneous items. There are also some large and small glass jars with specimens in them. Renn and Quan are already waiting.
Inside, when he saw Zhong Lishi arriving, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him: "Dr. Zhong, have you brought your things?"
Zhong Lishi pointed at Zhong Xiaoying who was sweating profusely from exhaustion behind him, and said: "I brought it, it's that thing... Xiaoying, put it on!"
Zhong Xiaoying flinched when she saw the corpse. But she still tried to calm herself. She set the wooden frame on the ground and then installed the wooden box on the wooden frame. Pulling out an accordion-shaped leather bag full of wrinkles from one end of the box
A lens was installed on the copper frame at one end of the bag. Zhong Xiaoying put a black velvet cover behind the box and said to Zhong Lishi: "It's installed..."
Zhong Lishi pointed to the thing that was as tall as one person and said to them: "This is the camera I am studying recently. This is an engineering prototype."
Then several people were busy adjusting the shelf so that the camera could take a bird's-eye view of the corpse on the autopsy table.
The face of the corpse was peaceful. It seemed to be smiling, and it looked very strange under the light. Zhong Xiaoying mustered up the courage to step forward and take a look, and said to Zhong Lishi: "This is the assassin I killed."
Ren smiled at Zhong Xiaoying, pointed at the body and said, "You didn't hit him at all."
"What?"
"You said you fired one shot and the murderer sank, so my uncle thought you were the one who shot him." Renn shook his head and said, "But there were no gunshot wounds on his body at all, not even scratches.
--"
"So it wasn't me who killed him?" Zhong Xiaoying asked.
Dr. Zhong smiled and said, "You don't have any psychological shadow now." Seeing the relaxed look on his adopted daughter's face, he felt a lot more comforted. He directed Zhong Xiaoying to get busy first.
Zhong Lishi set up a white cloth screen behind the camera. He tried the angle of the light and tried to illuminate the face of the corpse as much as possible.
Zhong Xiaoying shook her head: "Light is still not strong enough..."
"The shutter needs to be adjusted to one second..."
Zhong Lishi got into the black cloth cover behind the camera and adjusted the focus so that the image was clearly reflected in front of a piece of white paper on the film holder. Then he closed the shutter and said to Zhong Xiaoying: "Bring the film..."
Zhong Xiaoying quickly took out a piece of glass wrapped in black paper from the black cloth pocket in her purse. Zhong Lishi groped inside the black cloth cover and took off the black paper on the glass piece, installed the glass piece on the film holder, and then
Pressing the shutter button, Zhong Lishi carefully put the piece of glass into the black cloth pocket, and then got out of the black cloth cover behind the camera.
"Okay. I'll go back and rinse it out."
"Can we start?" Ren asked.
"That's okay. I'll take another picture after you finish checking."
Renn took out the mask: "Everyone, please put on the mask first." He took out the autopsy form: "Xiao Xu, you are a police officer, you should understand this..."
"Okay, I'll fill it in if you ask." Xu Xu accepted.
Ren leaned over and looked at the corpse. Although he majored in epidemic prevention, he also graduated from a medical school and was no stranger to anatomy.
"The deceased was a man, aged between thirty and thirty-five years old. He had normal development, good nutrition, and a strong build." Ren said while observing the appearance of the corpse. "The muscles are loose." He then opened his eyelids and said,
He said: "The pupils are round, with a diameter of 0.3 centimeters." He then pried open the already stiff jaw and observed the teeth.
The deceased had dark skin and thick hands and feet. He was obviously a working man who had been through hardships and hardships.
"He is a sailor or a boatman." Ren looked at his hands and feet. "His palms have calluses formed by pulling ropes for a long time. There are thick calluses on the soles of his feet and his toes are bent - these are the marks of using his toes to scratch the deck with bare feet for a long time."
There were many scars on the body of the deceased, most of which were injuries caused by sharp objects. It was obvious that he was a brave and ruthless person.
Ren observed the corpse carefully, and suddenly he shouted: "The cause of death has been found!"
He picked up the tweezers and pulled out a thin wooden skewer, only as long as a toothpick, from under the corpse's elbow.
Xu Xu and Dr. Zhong immediately got together.
"Blow dart." Ren said proudly, "The cause of death was curare poison." He looked at the blow dart carefully, "I just thought the expression of the deceased was very strange, no wonder!"
Dr. Zhong knows that there are many kinds of curare, but the basic cause of death is muscle relaxants, which take effect very quickly.
Although the cause of death had been found, out of caution, Lane still performed an autopsy on the body. Dr. Zhong and his daughter reluctantly persisted until they finished watching the disembowelment, then bowed out with gratitude, leaving only Quan and Lane to complete the entire process.
.
The autopsy results showed no new findings. Lane sutured the incision. The two of them walked out of the basement. Lane led a group of people to his office on the second floor of the health center. He took out a box of cigars and each of the men started smoking one.
"This man is a boatman," Xu Xu said. "The unique shape of his toes and the thick skin on the soles of his feet are all characteristics of the boat people."
There are many sailors from Danhu in the navy, and their physical characteristics may be very familiar.
But Ren shook his head: "If he was born in Danhu, his physical condition is a bit too good." He pointed to the autopsy report, "This person's teeth are not much worn, and he obviously eats good quality food.
And he is obviously not a malnourished person."
"It wouldn't be surprising if he was a key member of the pirates - such as a small boss or a confidant of the 'shopkeeper'." Quan Qian had done a lot of research on the organization of the pirate gang, "and the scars on his body,
He should be a desperado."
"So the murderer is a pirate." Dr. Zhong interjected.
"Nine times out of ten." Xu Xu nodded, "I was probably ordered or bribed to do this by someone, but I didn't expect that I was silenced!"
"Then the other murderer is still in Kaohsiung!" Zhong Lishi stood up and said excitedly.
As soon as the incident occurred, the docks and city gates were all sealed, and no one was allowed in or out. Whoever the murderer was, he should still be stranded in Kaohsiung.
"Of course. Otherwise, why do you need a second uniform? It means there are at least two murderers." Xu Xu said, "The other party may have a back-up plan."
After being allowed to return to his office, he took the autopsy report and began to use a sketch on a white paper to reconstruct the scene when the murderer was killed by a blowgun.
The blowgun was found behind the left elbow. The arrow was shot into his body diagonally at 1 o'clock, with the angle of incidence downward. This indicates that the person who shot the arrow was on the upper left side of the murderer.
As for the distance, the effective range of the blowgun is only ten meters at most. So the person who shot the arrow at that time must have been sitting on a small boat not far from the murderer.
Due to the timely closure of the port, all the ships at that time were still stranded in the port. So the second murderer was still in the port!
At this time, someone delivered an evidence box containing all the items found on the deceased. He was allowed to put on gloves and use a magnifying glass to examine each item carefully.
While I was looking carefully, Dr. Zhong suddenly came.
"How's it going? Do you have any clues?"
"One thing." Xu Xu realized that Zhong Lishi was particularly enthusiastic about this case, and after thinking about it, he realized: Zhong Xiaoying was deeply involved in this case - Dr. Zhong was very licking, and was eager to exonerate Xiaoying.
There are not many things in the box: a few circulation certificates, some scattered silver and copper coins, and military certificates of Zhang Niu. The circulation certificates and military certificates should be obtained from Zhang Niu. Just like stabbing Westley to death.
The dagger was also obtained from Zhang Qianniu.
The only thing of any value is a domino.
The dominoes were very common. Xu Xu knew that this was Pai Gow: made of bamboo and ox bones, it was very delicate. Xu Xu knew that gambling was strictly prohibited in the Navy, and Zhang Qianniu's disciplinary punishment had never involved gambling. So this card
It must be the personal belongings of the murdered murderer.
