Late at night, Kunyang Police Station, Autopsy Center.
"Lao Gao is really old and can't keep an eye on him anymore," forensic doctor Guo Fengzhan said to Zhao Yu, holding a box of soaked instant noodles, "I asked him to go back and rest first!"
"You..." Zhao Yu frowned and asked, "Why do you like eating instant noodles from the autopsy room so much?"
"Haha, you are not the first person to ask me this question," Guo Fengzhan smiled slightly, "It's just a habit I developed when I was young!
"At that time, I had to work in the autopsy room for several days. Some of the corpses were so rotten that they didn't wait for anyone!
"So I could only make do with a few bites, but I didn't expect that over time, I would lose my appetite after leaving the autopsy room. Only by eating here can I feel full!"
"Abnormal!" Because they were already familiar with each other, Zhao Yu joked and then said, "If you call me here so late, you must have good news for me, right
"How's it going? What did you find?"
"Today we received the second victim of the live broadcast case," Guo Fengzhan said, "I know that the live broadcast murder case is your top priority, so I didn't dare to disturb you during the day!
“But, I think it’s best not to delay the case of the frozen female corpse for too long.
“Today, the husband and children of the deceased came again and said that they hope we can solve the case as soon as possible so that we can take the body back and hold a funeral for the deceased.
"Also, there are relatives of the deceased who are also clamoring to come to the police station...
"Of course, it has now been confirmed that the corpse has been frozen for a long time. We still have many technical flaws in preserving the corpse intact and cannot store it for too long..."
"I know, I know," Zhao Yu said, "We have been investigating, and I have asked the provincial department to set up a task force, and I have not left it alone!"
"To be honest..." Guo Fengzhan said sadly, "I have been doing autopsy work all my life, and this is the first time I have encountered such a strange corpse. I am also very curious about what is going on in this case!
"Why, someone would throw a frozen body into the river...
"Is there really..." Forensic Doctor Guo asked, "Is there that kind of cargo ship with a cold storage? You know, the corpse has been frozen for more than 30 years. I'm afraid there is no such old ship on the Jingjiang River, right?"
"I have thought about this problem before, but the boat can be replaced!" Zhao Yu said, "When the old boat can no longer be used, the murderer can build a new boat and just move the frozen corpse. Can you continue?"
"Oh..." Guo Fengzhan nodded, "It's true, my brain is really rusty..."
"It's just... tsk tsk..." Zhao Yu smacked his lips and said, "We have inquired with professionals in the past few days, and they said that there are no ships with cold storage in Jingjiang!"
"Oh? Really?" Guo Fengzhan was surprised, "No?"
“Of course,” Zhao Yu said, “Now that the highways are so developed and the fresh food market is so efficient, so far away by plane and close by car, few people use boats anymore!
"The ships still in use in the river are basically used to transport sand and gravel. Only sand and gravel can be transported by water without any rush, and it can also save costs!"
"Isn't that right?" Guo Fengzhan asked again, "What about the fishing industry? Fishing boats are fishing in the river, and it is natural to install a cold storage on the boat, right?"
"No!" Zhao Yu said, "Today's fishing industry is different from before. Jingjiang's regulations are very strict. You can't just catch fish if you want. Generally, only qualified fishing companies can fish. The company also has Strict control and inspection system, let alone no cold storage, even if there is, it would have been discovered long ago... "
"Oh, that's right..." Guo Fengzhan said, "The person who froze Su Ruohua should have a private cold storage. So...is it harder?"
"Well," Zhao Yu thought of something and asked, "have you not answered my question yet?"
"Oh... oh..." Guo Fengzhan finally recovered from his speculation, and immediately handed a report to Zhao Yu and said, "This is the autopsy report. We can only study it to this point at present. Detailed information has to wait. Further testing!”
"Okay," Zhao Yu opened it and took a look, but saw important information at a glance, and asked hurriedly, "So... have you found the cause of death?"
"Yes, there is stagnation of blood at the heart pump, abnormal serum enzymes, and some subtle features, all consistent with cardiogenic shock!" Forensic Doctor Guo replied.
"But shock is not fatal!" Zhao Yu looked at the report, then at forensic doctor Guo, and asked, "So, does that mean he still froze to death?"
"Yes, this is the most reasonable explanation we can think of," Medical Examiner Guo introduced. "There are several types of cardiogenic shock. Sometimes there will be air asphyxia or even cardiac arrest... "
"Holy crap!" Zhao Yu suddenly understood what he meant, "You don't want to tell me that Su Ruohua's death was an accident, do you?"
"It's just... this possibility is very high!" Guo Fengzhan analyzed, "34 years ago, someone may have wanted to harm Su Ruohua, but unexpectedly, Su Ruohua suffered from cardiogenic shock due to emotional excitement! So... "
"So," Zhao Yu continued, "the murderer thought she was dead, so he froze her? And he didn't know that Su Ruohua was actually still alive when he was frozen!
"Are you kidding me?" Zhao Yu's eyes widened. "This script can win an Oscar, right? Oh no, it can win an Oscar for Best Fuck. Lao Guo Guo, is there such a coincidence?"
"Call me Lao Guo, don't give me random nicknames!" Guo Fengzhan said seriously, "Our task is only to explain the cause of death of the deceased. The specific investigation of the case is up to you!
"This is just the most reasonable explanation we can think of..." Guo Fengzhan added, "Otherwise, the body would not have any traces of being artificially comatose. When she was frozen, it would be impossible not to struggle! "
"Okay!" Zhao Yu said, "If this is the case, the murderer's original intention may not have been to kill Su Ruohua..."
"But," Guo Fengzhan said, "it must be something nefarious. Otherwise, after Su Ruohua went into shock, he should have at least sent the person to the hospital instead of freezing him!"
"Yes!" Zhao Yu sighed, "Not only did he freeze the person, but he also froze him for 34 years. If you look at it this way, the murderer must have extraordinary feelings for Su Ruohua, right?"
"You have also seen the corpse," Guo Fengzhan said. "A person has been frozen for 34 years, but he still has an irresistible charm. This shows how beautiful Su Ruohua was back then!?"
"Hmm..." Zhao Yu closed her eyes and thought deeply, "Did the murderer freeze her because he wanted to see Su Ruohua every day
“If that’s the case, it’s not just an ordinary obsession!
"It seems... it's very possible that an acquaintance committed the crime!" Zhao Yu said, "Looking back, we have to talk to Su Ruohua's husband and everyone who knows Su Ruohua..."
