Chapter 95: Wounds After Death
Feng Tao stood up after hearing this, pressed the edge of the table heavily with both hands, and said anxiously.
"The two cases we have now are very complicated, but we can't delay them like this!
The Chief Inspector doesn't give us much time, and if this case is like the last one, our team will really be disbanded!"
Cheng Shi is also at a loss now, although there are still no clues to investigate in these two cases!
However, at present, they are not the active party in the case. They have to wait for the other party to make some movement before they can continue the investigation!
Cheng Shi then took a sip of wine and asked doubtfully: "I didn't expect that Agent Feng would be so concerned about whether this team can be disbanded?!"
Feng Tao was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then said quickly: "I am indeed very concerned, and I can naturally see that you and Agent Deng are not like other people in the patrol room who come to the patrol room to hang out!
You all really want to investigate the case, and you all have the skills. Otherwise, Luo Yunhua's case might not even have made any progress now!
Naturally, I don’t want our team, which really wants to investigate the case, to be disbanded because of the slow progress of the case!"
Cheng Shi looked at Feng Tao with a sincere face and comforted him: "Don't worry, in fact we have done a good job. Next, it is Francis's business!
Once he finds anything after his autopsy, he will notify us, and now we can only wait!"
Feng Tao sighed, shook his head and said: "We really can only wait. Every time we encounter such a complicated case, we can only wait for the other party to reveal his flaws. I hate this feeling!"
Cheng Shi said: "Agent Feng, sometimes we can't expect the other party to make mistakes, just like these two cases, we can only wait!
Because our investigators move too slowly, the murderer is always in front of us, only after the case occurs!
We have just started investigating. If we do, we will only follow the route taken by the murderer, and we will always be one step behind the murderer!
Once we meet a smart murderer, he will be ahead of us step by step, so that we will never catch up with him!
Of course, if we put a pair of eyes in every corner of the city in advance, watching all places in the city!
No matter how smart the murderer is, if he commits a crime under these eyes, as long as we investigate the clues based on the eyes, it will be easy to catch the murderer!"
Feng Tao was shocked by Cheng Shi's words. He knew that Cheng Shi had a very smart mind and had many ideas, but he did not expect that Cheng Shi would be so whimsical!
At this time, he also calmed down. He then sat back and said helplessly.
"It's impossible for the kind of thing you said to happen. If you really had eyes like that, investigating the case would be very simple!"
Cheng Shi smiled and said: "Really, just because it's impossible now doesn't mean it won't be possible in the future, and it can be done now...!"
Feng Tao looked at Cheng Shi in confusion. He didn't continue to ask what he could do when he stopped midway, but picked up the chopsticks with his right hand!
After Feng Tao took a bite of the food, he said: "Let's not talk about these useless things. Let's finish the meal and go back early. Take a look at Francis' place. We haven't found anything!"
After hearing this, Cheng Shi also began to eat quietly. Cheng Shi was thinking in his heart at this time, even if there is no Internet Skynet at this time!
However, he can build a human-eye Skynet all over Shanghai!
However, this must be supported by huge financial resources. Even if someone thought of this in this era, no one would spend so much money!
Cheng Shizai had this idea to build such a human-eye skynet very early, and working hard to make a lot of money was the first step in his plan!
The two of them finished their meal quickly, Cheng Shi paid the bill first, and Feng Tao did not fight with Cheng Shi!
The restaurant where they ate was not far from the central prison, so the two of them quickly walked back to No. 22 Xue Huali Road (now Jianguo Middle Road)!
The two entered a three-story building on foot!
This three-story building covers an area of 1,640 square meters and has a usable area of 5,772 square meters. It is the central building built in 1918.
There are only three floors above the ground in the Central Patrol Room, but there is also a basement. The three floors are all offices. The basement downstairs is Francis's anatomy room!
After the two entered the patrol room, they ran directly to the basement, and then put on their laboratory clothes!
The two of them entered the basement together. The basement was still so cold, and Francis and his assistant were sewing up the body!
Francis heard the sound of the door opening and saw the two people walking in. He handed the needle in his hand to his assistant and walked towards Cheng Shi and the two!
Francis walked up to the two of them and said to them: "The autopsy has been completed. It is true that the poisoning caused heart congestion, leading to the final heart rupture and death!
As for the toxin of the poisonous insect, I still have to conduct a detailed test, so for now, I can only tell you that he did die of poisoning!"
When Cheng Shi heard this, he took a few steps forward and walked to the corpse. Cheng Shi took a closer look at the naked Merlin!
When his eyes fell on the palm of Merlin's right hand, he stopped because he saw scars on the palm and several fingertips!
Cheng Shi also recalled in his mind the first time he saw Merlin's body. Merlin's right hand was half-clasped!
Cheng Shi immediately understood that someone had taken something from Merlin's hand, which caused the scar on his hand!
The wound was very small and there was no shrinkage. In his reasoning, he had often seen similar plots!
Could this be something Merlin used to point out who the murderer was, but after the murderer saw it, he took it away again!
Based on the scars on the deceased's palm, Cheng Shi also understood that these were scars caused long after Merlin's death!
If the muscle is cut before death, the muscle will contract significantly, and the skin around the wound will be rolled in, so the wound will open significantly.
After the injury occurred shortly after death, the skin of the wound was also open. Because the shrinkage was not obvious, the wound was not too wide.
Damage occurs long after death, especially the wounds after rigor mortis has formed. The wounds are very small and there is no shrinkage at the edges.
When injured during life, local tissues are irritated and an inflammatory response begins within minutes.
There will be local redness, swelling, and inflammatory secretions. After injury, infection may occur, and suppuration may occur.
By checking whether the injury is bleeding, whether the tissue is shrinking, whether there is inflammatory reaction, etc.!
This allows us to infer whether the damage was caused before death or after death.
Who took the thing in Merlin's hand?!
Why take it away again?!
What is that thing in his hand?!
Therefore, Cheng Shi must first determine what the other party took away?!
Thinking of this, Cheng Shi turned to Francis and asked: "Mr. Francis, may I ask, what caused the scar on the deceased's right hand?!"
Chapter completed!
