Seeing this horrifying scene, I was so frightened that I almost lost control of my bowels and bladder! The pale face and the eyes that were open to death deeply stimulated my nerves!
Officer Yang standing by the side suddenly fell to the ground with his legs going limp. He was so frightened that he couldn't even speak, and he kept backing away, one hand tightly grasping my pants. His force was so great that if I hadn't been wearing a belt, my pants would have been pulled off by him.
After recovering from the shock of that moment, I immediately opened my eyes wide and looked carefully at the body that sat up by itself. I didn't believe that a corpse could move on its own. There must be some reason that I didn't see!
Sure enough, when I moved my gaze to the back of the bed covered by the corpse and the white sheets, I immediately saw a figure squatting next to the corpse, seemingly observing the corpse, and that person was Li Hua who had just left the duty room!
After seeing this, I finally understood. It turned out that when we came in just now, Li Hua happened to help the corpse sit up, and he was standing behind the corpse, so we thought that the corpse sat up by itself.
After understanding the reason, I patted my chest with my hand, took a deep breath and said angrily, "Li Hua, what do you mean by scaring people in broad daylight?"
Li Hua didn't seem to see Officer Yang and I coming in. He only raised his head slightly after hearing my voice and looked in my direction. Then he lowered his head and looked at the corpse in front of him and said, "With your courage, I advise you not to compete with me. If you are afraid of corpses, you are not suitable for this job."
After hearing what Li Hua said, I actually felt like I agreed with him. Indeed, if I was afraid of even corpses, wouldn't it be easy for me to be scared by myself in future cases
However, when I turned around and looked at Officer Yang, whose legs were so weak that he had difficulty standing up, I suddenly felt much more balanced. Officer Yang was much less courageous than me, but he became the director of the police station. It seems that courage has nothing to do with this job.
I noticed the body that Li Hua was observing just now. Judging from the wound on the back of the body's head, it should be one of the two victims of this case. So I immediately stepped forward and prepared to observe it carefully to see if I could find any flaws.
"Did you find anything?"
I walked over to Li Hua and asked out of habit, but Li Hua looked at me coldly and said, "I won't tell you if I find anything. I've already read it. It's up to you."
After saying that, Li Hua walked out of the morgue with his head held high and his chest puffed out. He passed by Officer Yang without even looking at him. Officer Yang was so angry that he trembled all over, but he couldn't open his mouth to curse.
I ignored Officer Yang and Li Hua's attitude. Judging from his expression just now, he must have discovered some clues, otherwise he wouldn't have left in such a hurry. He must not want to be seen by me while he was continuing to investigate along the clues, and then I would take advantage of him.
Naturally, I was too lazy to take advantage of him. Looking at the pale and cold corpse in front of me, although I was a little timid, I still gritted my teeth and took a closer look at the hideous wound on the back of his head.
At this time, Officer Yang had already walked up to me and asked, "Did you find anything?"
"I only took one look and I discovered something? You think too highly of me, don't you? Aren't there two bodies? Where is the other one?"
Officer Yang pointed to the bed next to him and said, "That's it. I've asked the new medical examiner to look at these two bodies. There's nothing to find. I think it would be better for us to go outside and ask other people."
I shook my head and lifted the white sheet of the body next to me, saying, "The forensic doctor has his own opinion, and I have mine. The forensic doctor looks at professional autopsies, while I look at the state of the deceased before death. Naturally, the two cannot be confused. I didn't quite understand this before, but the last time I went to Yinchuan, I saw the third female corpse with my own eyes and found something strange. Then I understood. No matter what, I have to see the corpse myself. This will be of great help in solving the case."
I don’t know if Officer Yang next to me understood what I said. After I lifted the white sheet of another bed, I immediately saw the body covered in it. However, this body seemed a little different from the one I saw just now.
Although both corpses were male, the corpse I saw just now looked younger, while the one in front of me was already middle-aged. Moreover, the young corpse only had a wound on the back of its head, while the corpse of the middle-aged man in front of me had a lot of small wounds on his body except for the wound on the back of his head, as if he had been scratched by something. More importantly, there was a circle of obvious purple marks on his neck.
Officer Yang told me before that the first victim had small wounds and inexplicable marks of strangulation on his body, but the second victim did not. I did not pay much attention to it at the time, but now that I have seen the differences between the two bodies with my own eyes, I suddenly became confused.
Why was the fatal wound on the first corpse a strangle mark on the neck? And why were there so many small wounds on the body? And both of the dead were men, which made me start to think about it.
"Officer Yang, look at the tiny wounds on this body. What caused them?"
Officer Yang had seen the wound before, but he still stepped forward to take a look and said, "Our new forensic doctor said that it was caused by a very sharp instrument, otherwise the wound would not be so small. It is very likely a blade or something like that."
I turned around and looked around. Suddenly, I found a tray with some instruments on the table by the wall of the morgue. I immediately went forward, took out a scalpel that looked like it had been used, and asked, "Is this thing okay?"
Officer Yang's eyes suddenly lit up and he said, "That's absolutely possible! Could it be that the murderer was the first victim who was slashed with a scalpel? In other words, the murderer is an insider of this hospital! But why did he go to the trouble of slashing the victim?"
"This is not the only unnecessary thing. Look at the strangulation marks. If the murderer could have strangled the victim directly, why did he have to use a blunt object to injure the back of the victim's head beforehand? Was it just to forge the body of Li Li in revenge? Also, I don't know the level of your new forensic doctor, but I see something else in these strangulation marks."
After that, I pointed to the purple stranglehold on the first victim's neck and said, "Look, there seems to be a small long mark here, as if the murderer had something in his hand when he strangled the victim. Didn't you notice it?"
It turned out that Officer Yang did not find this subtle clue. After hearing what I said, he immediately leaned over to take a closer look. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "What kind of forensic doctor did the higher-ups send me? An ungraduated one? He didn't even find this? I think I still have a chance to find a forensic doctor myself. This is too bad."
It’s not surprising that Officer Yang was angry. After all, if it were Ding Yang or even the forensic doctor Xiao Zhang, they would have definitely discovered and recorded such an obvious thing in the first place.
After calming down a little, Officer Yang understood what I meant and said, "So, the main targets for investigation now are the staff of the city hospital who wear the ring?"
I almost fainted after hearing what he said. It seems like he didn't understand anything I just talked about for a long time
"How could a ring cause such a mark? Officer Yang, are you still asleep? The only thing that can create such a long and visible mark is something like a bracelet!"
As if I had just said something that woke him up, Officer Yang suddenly realized something and said, "Look at my brain. I'm almost confused by my new forensic doctor. That's it. I'll send someone to investigate secretly. We will definitely be able to find the murderer based on this clue!"
"No need. When you were talking to the nurse just now, didn't you notice that she was wearing a bracelet similar to a doll's bracelet on her wrist? Although I don't remember it clearly, her bracelet could definitely have created the marks you see in front of you! So, if there are no omissions, the nurse is undoubtedly the murderer."
Officer Yang took out his phone before I could finish my words, and was ready to call someone to arrest the nurse. I immediately stopped him and said, "What's the point of arresting her now? There are no fingerprints on the body, and there is no surveillance. What if the girl doesn't admit it?"
Officer Yang said smugly, "I'll take her back and let her experience the power of the tiger bench. I'll see if she confesses! Don't worry about that. I love dealing with people who are stubborn the most. Besides, if the young nurse is really the murderer, you have already won. You must close the case as soon as possible. Otherwise, who knows if Li Hua will find out the same thing."
Sometimes I think Officer Yang is an upright person, but when he treats criminals, he shows a dark side. I really can't figure out his character. I shook my head and said, "No, it would be boring if I use tough means to force her to confess. I need to find sufficient evidence to make her convinced!"
As I said this, I suddenly turned around and looked at the two bodies behind me, whose white sheets had been lifted and exposed. I said, "As for Li Hua, based on my observations of him during the two meetings, I'm afraid he has already known that the murderer is the nurse. I just don't know if he has discovered this doubt."
Officer Yang asked doubtfully, "Suspicious points? What else can be suspicious now?"
I shook my head and said, "I won't tell you for now, lest you ask more questions. Anyway, the most urgent task now is to find the answer to this doubt. If I can find the answer first, then I will win this game!"
Although he didn't know what I meant, Officer Yang had no choice but to give up and said, "What should we do now?"
"Go out and look at other things first, and I will naturally make that little nurse reveal herself later!"
