Mars stopped talking about something inappropriate, put on rubber gloves as he walked, and came to the stainless steel autopsy bed. He turned his head and looked at Lu Ke: "Young man, are you sure you are okay?"
Lu Ke nodded calmly.
It’s not that he doesn’t have feelings, but as a policeman, it is inevitable that he will encounter these things in the future, and he will eventually get used to it.
Michelle's cause of death was most likely drowning, and was discovered very early.
In comparison, he would rather see this type of autopsy for the first time than the more disgusting ones.
The white cloth was pulled open, but only above the chest. Mars carefully examined the head of the corpse under the light.
He first took something like a comb and started combing Michelle's hair.
"There was no obvious foreign matter in the hair."
Putting down the comb, he ran his hands through his hair, checking it carefully.
"There were no obvious head injuries."
Then go down.
"There were no marks of hands or ropes around the neck."
Next are the parts that are usually blocked by the camera or mosaiced in forensic dramas.
Lu Ke remained silent, just watching carefully... Mars's actions.
He is not a monster, so of course he would not have any evil thoughts about a dead body. This is not a TV drama, and the person lying on top is a real corpse.
He was observing Mars' inspection process.
Although he doesn't know how to be a forensic scientist, being a policeman requires him to know some forensic knowledge.
Mars checked Michelle's front from head to toes and called Robert. Robert, who had already put on rubber gloves, came forward to help and turned Michelle to the side.
Mars checked it from top to bottom again and shook his head: "You can put it down. There are no obvious external injuries."
Robert put the body down and said, "Check first to see if she had any sexual activity before her death."
Mars glanced at Lu Ke next to him again: "Are you sure?"
Robert: "Sure." But he immediately turned to Lu Ke and said, "Stand over there."
Lu Ke still didn't say anything and quietly changed his standing position.
This is Michelle's side. Apparently Robert doesn't care as much as he says.
Mars examined it for a moment and raised his head: "The deceased had committed adultery before his death, um, and... he also left behind a lot of little lives."
Robert rolled his eyes. "Then let's first identify who the father of these little lives is. Can you determine the cause of death?"
Mars: “Wait.”
After another round of examination, he said, "It should be death from suffocation."
Robert raised his eyebrows but said nothing.
Mars glanced at him with boredom: "But there's no water in her lungs. So, she didn't drown. Haha, you'll have a lot to do."
Robert sighed helplessly.
Generally speaking, among the several causes of death from suffocation, drowning and neck compression are the two most common ones.
If the neck is compressed, it will generally leave marks of rope or hand on the neck.
The lungs of a drowned person will definitely be filled with water.
Michelle's body was found in the water, but there was no water in her lungs and no marks on her neck. It would be strange if there was no foul play.
Robert had been a policeman for so many years that he knew this was almost a clear case of homicide.
This also means that he has to solve the case as soon as possible.
The town pays their police officers to quickly get to the bottom of the matter and maintain order in times like this.
Mars began to examine Michelle's facial features. After a while, he used tweezers to pick out several thin white things from her nostrils.
Robert narrowed his eyes: "What is it?"
Mars didn't say anything. He checked Michelle's mouth for a while and used tweezers to pick out a few thin white things.
Only then did he speak: "Well, although the official report will take a long time, I can tell you what it is now. This is down feathers, which are generally used to fill pillows and cushions. And they appeared in the nasal cavity and mouth of the deceased, you should understand what the biggest possibility is."
Robert nodded. "Got it. I'll go back first. If there are any new findings or the autopsy report comes out, call me."
Having said that, he called Lu Ke and left the room.
Lu Ke followed behind, and just as he was about to go out, he heard Mars say, "Hey, Luke, you're pretty good, much more interesting than Robert. Come and play with me next time you have time."
Lu Ke turned around, smiled and nodded: "Thank you for the compliment. If there is a chance, I will." He waved goodbye and closed the door of the autopsy room.
Mars inside was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "This personality... is not like Robert at all? Could it be that he is really not his biological son?"
After saying that, he smiled, shook his head, and continued to work.
The police car roared back again.
As Robert drove, he asked, "Any ideas?"
Lu Ke: "He was murdered?"
Robert: "Do I need to tell you that? What else?"
Lu Ke thought of a scene he saw last night, and he was a little confused, but he said, "Love killing?"
Robert nodded slightly: "It's possible, is there anything else?"
Lu Ke shook his head: "I can't think of anything else right now."
Robert chuckled: "Really gone?"
Lu Ke sighed: "Well, Michelle has an official boyfriend at school, George Joshua, the captain of the school football team."
Robert said, "Are you familiar with him? Or are you familiar with Michelle?"
Lu Ke: "I don't know any of them. But Ximena is a cheerleader and Michelle is the cheerleading captain, so I know a little about her."
Robert: "What else?"
Lu Ke was silent for a moment before he said, "Michelle also has a close relationship with the other two players on the rugby team."
Robert glanced sideways: "Huh?"
Lu Ke sighed softly: "She is dead, I don't want to say this. But, she didn't drown accidentally, I can't hide this anymore."
Robert smacked his lips. "Young people nowadays... really know how to have fun. Back when I was in high school... uh, well, I was very pure when I was in high school."
Lu Ke chuckled.
Before you start talking nonsense, can you practice your embarrassing acting skills? At least don't look guilty!
Perhaps the contempt in his eyes was too obvious, Robert became angry and said, "Asshole, what are you looking at? I still have to drive. Oh, no, I'm the boss, why do I always drive?"
As he said that, he stopped the car on the grass beside the road with a creak: "Come over and drive."
Lu Ke had no choice but to get off the passenger seat, walk around the front of the car and sit in the driver's seat, while Robert walked around and sat in the passenger seat.
Lu Ke closed the car door and fastened his seat belt: "I don't even have a driver's license! Is this considered driving without a license?"
Robert sneered: "Then let the police give you a ticket."
