131 Autopsy

Shen Yin took the black body bag from the police officer who was assisting with the case and said solemnly, “I need to go back and confirm the cause of death. This case is too dreadful. Get Captain Wu to send someone to check the phones of the people in the crowd. Don’t allow any photographs to circulate online.”

“Yes!” Zou Sheng could not wait to leave. He turned and followed Shen Yin’s instructions.

However, while he was on the way, he suddenly remembered that Shen Yin was a woman. It probably would not be easy for her to put a disemboweled corpse into a body bag, so he swallowed his disgust and turned back to help.

As he got closer, Zou Sheng realized in disbelief that Shen Yin was propping the body up without turning a hair. The victim’s nose was almost rubbing against her clothes.

However, she did not care at all. She slowly put the terrifying and disgusting corpse into a body bag alone before instructing the other police officers to bring it back to the police station.

Zou Sheng wholeheartedly admired her. No wonder Dr. Shen was the chief forensic pathologist. She was perfectly at home at such a terrifying crime scene.

He did not waste any more time. He found Captain Wu and repeated what Shen Yin had just told him. Only then did Captain Wu remember to suppress public opinion. This case was too brutal. If it leaked, it would definitely cause unnecessary panic on the Internet.

Theprofessional police officers took charge of the scene while Shen Yin brought the corpse back to the police station to prepare for the autopsy.

Shen Yin slowly unzipped the top of the body bag. The victim had died a tragic death. Her pupils were dilated, her eyes were rolled upwards, and her mouth was wide open.

The zipper continued downward, revealing the victim’s empty abdomen.

Zheng Ling gaped and exclaimed in disbelief, “Who would be so wicked? To actually remove all the victim’s organs. What do we have left to work with?”

“Of course we will still have to investigate.” Shen Yin pulled down the entire zip, revealing the whole corpse. She pressed the livor mortis on the skin to observe the discoloration and asked Zheng Ling to help flip the corpse to observe the livor mortis on the back.

She picked up the scalpel, and focused on making a cut on the livor mortis. Blood flowed from the wound.

Shen Yin put the scalpel down and disinfected her hands again. She said slowly, “We can now estimate that the time of death was six to ten hours ago. The corpse was discovered at eight o’clock this morning.”

Zheng Ling nodded and took off her gloves. She picked up the notebook and made a note. “That means the time of death was between ten and two in the morning.”

Shen Yin shook her head, indicating that she should calm down. “Looking at the condition of the corpse, the victim’s lower jaw, neck, and especially her knees and toes show different degrees of stiffness. This can further narrow the time of death to between midnight and one o’clock in the morning.”

“Boss, you’re amazing.” Zheng Ling admired her sincerely.

Shen Yin was studying other aspects of the corpse. When she heard Zheng Ling’s words of praise, she looked up in confusion. “What?”

Zheng Ling smiled guiltily. “If I had to handle this case alone, I might not even dare to look at it, let alone study it so carefully.”

Shen Yin had lots of experience in disgusting corpses when she was overseas. When she heard Zheng Ling say this, she smiled nonchalantly. “Once you’ve gained more experience, you’ll be fine. You’ve just joined the police force. Take your time to gain experience.”

“Yes! Thank you for your guidance, Boss!” Zheng Ling smiled obediently. Seeing Shen Yin pick up the victim’s arm and observe it carefully, she hurriedly put on her gloves and leaned over.

“Boss, could this needle mark be caused by drug use?” Zheng Ling widened her eyes in disbelief. “She took drugs even though she was pregnant?”

“Not necessarily. I’m more inclined towards a myocardial infarction rather than a drug overdose.” Shen Yin tapped the needle hole and looked at the victim’s stifled expression thoughtfully.

She took out a syringe and took a blood sample before handing it to Zheng Ling. “Test it for drugs later.”

After doing all this, she began the usual anatomical examination. However, the examination was exceptionally fast and easy. After all, the criminal had already removed the stomach, uterus, and other organs that should be examined.

After leaving the autopsy room, Shen Yin took off her gloves and mask and carefully disinfected them. Then she returned to the office to wait for the results of the drug test.

Zheng Ling gulped down hot water with an ugly expression. When Wang Sheng returned from the crime scene, he saw Zheng Ling’s nauseated expression the moment he entered. He patted her shoulder teasingly. “Little Zheng, how about I treat you to chicken hearts fried in chili for lunch?”

“Have mercy on me.” Zheng Ling sprawled on the table and wailed, “I’m afraid I won’t be able to eat meat this month.”

“Is it that serious?” Wang Sheng walked up to Shen Yin in amusement and handed her a copy of the drug test results. “Boss, I just brought it over for you. It’s just out.”

“Thank you.” Shen Yin took the report politely and frowned at the drug test results.

As she expected, the victim had not taken any drugs. Instead, she had been injected with air.

“Boss, you’re right!” Zheng Ling stared at the report in disbelief. She could not help but shiver when she thought of the corpse.

Shen Yin looked at her terrified expression and said seriously, “Don’t be afraid. People in our profession speak for the deceased. As long as you think of yourself as the deceased’s good friend, it will be better.”
