If all possibilities are invalid, perhaps the truth will remain in the seemingly inconspicuous things.

In recent years, public security organs in various places have focused on the construction of local forensic autopsy rooms, and most counties, cities and districts have built anatomy rooms dedicated to local public security organs. Although the construction of anatomy rooms will greatly improve the working environment of forensic doctors and eliminate the social impact of open-air anatomy, there have been many jokes when unifying the name of "authorption room".

For example, a city public security bureau hung the "XX Public Security Autopsy Room" at the gate of the anatomy room, and the onlookers would say, "Is it possible that only the public security corpses are dissected here?" So the next day, the sign was changed to "×× Public Security Bureau Forensic Autopsy Room", and the onlookers would talk again: "It turns out that the forensic doctor will become a corpse sooner or later." The director gritted his teeth in regret, and slapped the table and wanted to change it to "the autopsy laboratory under the physical evidence identification center of ×× Public Security Bureau". The next day, the secretary came to report: "There are too many words, and the sign cannot be printed on it."

In order not to abnorm the names of the anatomy rooms in the province, in response to the application of various places, the provincial department held a special solicitation meeting and convened literary forensic doctors from all over the country to study it. The final draft was "Forensic Autopsy Room of ×× Municipal Public Security Bureau".

"It turns out that if you add the word "Study", there will be no ambiguity." Dabao felt enlightened.

The forensic doctor who came up with this plan was even more content and began to hype how good his Chinese grades were in elementary school. If it weren't for his background, he would definitely be the representative of the Chinese class.

Since there is an anatomy room, it has been rare to have an open-air dissection, and it is even rare to go to the hospital morgue to dissect it. I was frightened to remember that I would go to the hospital morgue to dissect it when I first started working. In that place with a roar of the air-conditioning external unit, the corpse was dissected in the narrow ice coffin. What was even more uncomfortable was that there were some corpses covered with white cloth on their sides. If you were not careful, you would touch the white cloth, revealing a pair of wide-open eyes or a pale hand.

Dissecting an anatomy in that kind of place, I always feel that there are some eyes staring at you.

"So that's how you dissected it. Fortunately, you didn't come to dissect me. Will it hurt?" I always imagined that the corpses beside me would look at our work like this.

Many people are very surprised by my thoughts. If a forensic doctor goes to the hospital morgue, he will feel fear?

When the forensic doctor has a psychological hurdle. When he first started working, he might be a little scared, and then this fear would turn into compassion for the deceased, then hatred for the criminals, and finally indifference. This indifference is not emotional indifference, but indifference to life and death. If you see through life and death, you will overcome this psychological hurdle.

This kind of seeing through is the accumulation of experience and the transfer of attention. When the forensic doctor shifts his attention to finding clues and evidence, fear, compassion, hatred, and even life and death are not worth mentioning. But for some reason, places like the morgue can never let me concentrate, so when I get to this place, I become the young and immature me back then.

When the anatomy room in the province was basically completed, I vowed that I would never go to a place like the morgue again, but this vow did not last long and was broken.

In mid-September, I received a call, "June 3" series of murders, corpses, and corpses were thrown into the hospital morgue.

This phone call has multiple messages impacting my brain.

First of all, there are the three harsh words "morgue", and secondly, the "June 3 Special Project", a series of cases that have caused many investigators to be uneasy for several months.

After discovering the first body of Fang Jiang who was killed and had a caesarean section on June 5, the body of Dr. Meng Xiangping, who was killed earlier, was discovered. It has been more than three months since now. Apart from investigating the identities of three deceased people from different places, almost nothing was found.

We seem to have lost an effective solution to this cruel demon who constantly provoked the police but cannot find his whereabouts. The Ministry of Public Security has listed the case, and the special case team even came again during this period, but we are also unable to find a clue.

Except for Lin Tao, who has a special liking for Su Mei, others were extremely disappointed that the special case team had failed this time. The case is so strange. There is no social relationship between the deceased, and the deceased's money is not less. What is the purpose of this murderer? If he is a mentally ill, why can he commit such a seamless case?

The "June 3rd Special Case" added another case, which made the forensic doctors feel the most uncomfortable. On the one hand, because the case was not solved, another deceased was innocently killed, which was sad; but on the other hand, because there were more cases, there would be more clues and arousal. Sometimes people were contradictory.

This is a hospital that is about to be abandoned, because this hospital has many extremely strange jokes about medical accidents. These jokes have spread throughout Longfan City, resulting in almost no one willing to come to this hospital for treatment. For ten years, the hospital's facilities have begun to age, but they are unable to update, and even the environmental sanitation is unable to maintain them. At present, this hospital has almost nothing except this relatively valuable land.

"Patient A came to the hospital for breast cancer surgery. It was obvious that the left side was sick. The doctor cut her right side and found that there was nothing he could do, so he had to do the left side as well." Dabao continued to review these "jokes" in the car, and also told the intern forensic doctors who had never heard of these stories in the municipal bureau. "Patient B went to cut her appendix, and it was almost painful after the cut. When he went back to the ward, he asked, "It's not painful for others, what's going on? After checking, you guess what, you forgot to take the anesthetic."

"The story of Patient C is the most classic." Dabao grinned his teeth and found that the interns were still solemn. He continued, "One person went to get a small intestinal hernia. It was originally a minor operation, but when he went to the operating table, the venous passages were opened, the skin preparation, the towels and other things were done, and the local anesthesia was also completed. He heard the only two doctors in the operating room discussing, one said, "I have never done this kind of surgery, have you ever had this kind of surgery?" The other said, "I have never done it either."

An intern couldn't help but laughed out loud.

Dabao said seriously: "I'm not telling you a joke. I'm teaching you the way of medicine. Those who study medicine will harm people if they cannot save people; those who study forensic medicine will not solve cases will be a waste of money. So you have to study hard!"

I have heard jokes about this hospital many times, but I don’t know whether it is true or false, but when I came to this dilapidated hospital, I at least believed in the power of public opinion.

The morgue of the hospital is located in the corner on the east side of the hospital gate. It is a flat-topped bungalow that looks shaky.

I secretly worried that such a house would suddenly collapse when we were investigating it?

I saw many technicians pulling up guard belts at the gate of the morgue and busy at the scene. I walked into the security room with hope and started chatting with the security guard.

"Who of you found the body first?" I asked.

"A doctor stopped at the door at work this morning and saw a white corpse bag at the door, which was the corpse bag of our hospital." The security guard said, "The doctor was very surprised. The hospital has no business recently and no one died. How could there be corpses? Even if there are corpses, they would not be thrown at the door of the morgue. The morgue was empty. So he walked closer and saw that the corpse bag was not zipped up, and there were human intestines inside. He knew that things must not be that simple, so he called the police."

"Have your surveillance team retrieved your surveillance monitor?" I asked.

"Surveillance? Do you know how much it costs to maintain a monitoring device in a month?" The security guard shook his head, "I remember that I have never seen a good surveillance head since I came here to work."

"Then someone dragged the body into the hospital last night, and someone would always see it?" I still didn't give up.

The security guard said: "No one is on night shift here. Do you know that I only take half a day here in the morning. They give me 300 yuan a month. I have to drive an evening taxi in the afternoon and evening."

"In the afternoon, no one takes the turn tonight?" I asked.

"I am the only security guard in the entire hospital. I am the security captain and security guard." The security guard straightened his chest.

I suddenly felt extremely disappointed. This murderer really chose the place to throw the body. This is a place where it is not easy to be found, but it is easy to be found.

"Then are there surveillance nearby? If a car drives in and there is light, will the doctor on duty notice it inside?" I made my last effort.

"As far as I know, there is no surveillance nearby." said the security guard. "The gate here is not locked for 24 hours, and it becomes a parking lot for residents around the country at night. The dean is too lazy to take care of it, and we are too lazy to take care of it. So there are many cars parked at night. Who would notice which car came in and threw the body?"

I opened my mouth and could no longer ask valuable questions, so I walked to the scene to the guard belt in disappointment.

Section Chief Hu had already dressed properly, spreading a pair of hands wearing blood-stained gloves and walked up to me: "I give us the feeling that the case is getting simpler, but it is getting more and more difficult in essence."

I looked at Section Chief Hu in confusion.

Section Chief Hu continued: "The deceased's ID card is on his body. Liang Fengzhi, male, 37 years old. The investigator just investigated. This person is a lawyer and has changed many law firms, some in Longfan and some in other places. He is currently working at the Evergrande Law Firm in Yuntai City. He has been in Longfan for half a month and has been collecting evidence with an economic dispute case. The hotel where he lives reported that he left at around 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon and did not come back until we found his body here today."

"How do you confirm that it was the murderer of the '63rd Special Project'?" I looked at the three big words at the gate of the morgue, hesitated for a while, and walked into the warning belt with my shoe cover.

"Cema, cut the neck." Chief Hu said, "This time I didn't cut my head, but the internal organs were taken out by forensic doctors' usual method of tying their tongues. I guess they died of poisoning. I have always been very surprised that the highly toxic substances such as poisonous rats are controlled by the state. In theory, if you look for some illegal channels, you should find out the ins and outs of it, but there are no clues at all."

"And this one can be completely linked." Dabao spread his palm, and there was a black thing in his palm.

"What?" I leaned over and took a look.

In the palm of Dabao's hand, there was a human tongue. The tongue was already black and it emitted a pungent smell. This smell was not the corpse stinking caused by corruption, but the smell of formalin.

"The murderer fixed the tongue with formalin." Dabao said, "Anyway, this is the tongue of Cheng Xiaoliang who died in early August. Didn't Cheng Xiaoliang lose a tongue?"

"And so on, what should be missing from this corpse?" I asked.

Dabao nodded: "The little cock is gone."

I clenched my teeth and clattered: "What kind of demon should this be? How can we catch him?"

My emotions infected Dabao, and Dabao whistled to the sky: "Give me strength! I am Dabao!"

The corpse examination lasted four hours, which was extended a lot compared to the more than two hours of ordinary system dissection by experienced people. The inspection work was very careful, but it still failed to find valuable clues on the corpse. We already knew the murderer's methods of committing the crime: he deceived the deceased to drink poison, and died of poison, and then cut his neck during the dying period, cut his caesarean section with forensic means, and cut his tongue to remove his internal organ. In the end, the murderer would leave a deceased organ, and then tie the body with a cut groove, break it up or wrap it with conspicuous packaging to a place that is easily discovered.

This is an extreme pervert. No one argues about this inference.

The investigation was also carried out for two days. Apart from reconfirming the activity trajectory of the deceased Liang Fengzhi during his lifetime, no clue was found. The investigation department investigated all the people around him, such as his relatives and friends, colleagues from Longfan City, and his relatives who came to Longfan to handle the case this time, and even the doctor who reported the case and the security guard at the door were ruled out that the crime was committed.

At the project meeting, many people conducted a comprehensive analysis of the last location before the four deceased disappeared, without crossover or repetition. Many people also contacted their disappearance time, and did not find any basis for the relationship.

In short, these four unrelated people were killed by the same cruel and perverted murderer for no reason.

In the past few days, everyone's mood has become increasingly depressed, and only one person has become increasingly excited.

"This wheel mark was found in the nearest parking space in the morgue," Lin Tao said. "Although there are multiple wheel marks overlapping, a relatively fresh wheel mark can still be restored under different light. I have ruled out the wheel mark of the doctor who reported the case, so this mark is very suspicious."

"However, with just one wheel mark, it is basically impossible to find clues in cities with millions of cars." I said, "Even if you notify the traffic police department to find a needle in a haystack, you can find similar vehicles at most. After all, a wheel mark may correspond to thousands of cars."

"As long as I can find a vehicle with the same pattern, I can eliminate or identify it through wear marks." Lin Tao said, "We need hope! Many cases are solved by coincidences! Maybe this special case is the same. I will apply to the task force to notify the traffic police department to pay attention!"

Although there was an extra clue that was not very promising, we waited for two days with expectations.

A miracle did not happen, another murder occurred.

On September 20, the Mid-Autumn Festival approached, and the weather became cold for no reason. Short-sleeved shirts could no longer keep us from keeping the cold. We changed into long-sleeved police shirts.

We had to change clothes to and from get off work every day, which added a lot of trouble to us. After receiving the invitation from Cheng Cheng, we did not even change into casual clothes, so we got into the police car rushing to the scene.

We urgently need the success of a case investigation to wash away the gloom in recent days and the frustration of the "June 3 Special Project" being trapped in the quagmire. In the "June 3 Special Project", we cannot even find what role the forensic doctor can continue to play.

Chengcheng City is a county-level city with a relatively wealthy economy and few murder cases. But on the way to Chengcheng City, we heard that this case is evil, and even scared the reporter almost silly. Because the investigator spent a lot of effort to calm down the reporter's emotions and understand the specific situation of the case.

At the intersection when getting off the expressway, Zhang Ping, the instructor of the Criminal Police Brigade of Chengcheng Public Security Bureau and a senior forensic doctor, got into our investigation vehicle. In order to save time, he briefly told us about the incident on the vehicle.

This afternoon, Zhang Chunhe received a call from the property company. Some owners reported that there was always a stinking smell floating in the elevator room of Building 4 of Guilin Community.

Zhang Chunhe is a repairman at Fenghua Property, and also serves as a repairman at many property companies. In recent years, technical resources sharing is becoming more and more common, all of which depend on the reasons why technicians are not valued and that technology is not as good as money.

Zhang Chunhe has been to Fenghua Property for two and a half years and has almost never been to Guilin Community managed by Fenghua Property. This is a high-end community, so the facilities will naturally be more complete and there will be fewer problems.

Before Zhang Chunhe arrived at Guilin Community, he carefully looked through the architectural drawings of Guilin Community just in case. As a senior technical repairman, it would be a very embarrassing thing to do if he arrived at the location but didn’t know how to start.

Behind the elevator in this community, there are two fireproof doors, and there are stairs inside. Below the stairwell from the first to the second floor is the entrance to the corridor sewage well. Each corridor has a sewage well. The main function of this well is to discharge sewage, and some electricity is also used. Communication lines pass through this sewage well. Of course, the wires cannot cause the odor of the sewage well. I guess the sewage well is somewhat blocked, and sewage will emit a odor if it accumulates sewage.

However, the blockage of sewage wells leads to accumulation of sewage and causing foul odor, which must take a long time to accumulate. How could no one report this problem in such a long time? Especially nowadays, people are not easy to talk to, and the relationship between the property and the owner is not good.

The staff of the property company explained this problem easily. Guilin community is a unit with two households and two elevators, and the elevator speed is relatively fast, so almost no one is willing to climb stairs. The storage room on the first floor is not inhabited, and even the residents on the second floor are taking the elevator home. If you don’t walk into the stairwell, it will be difficult to smell the odor because the stairwell is blocked by fire doors and the air is not circulating. Like now, it must have been blocked for a while if you can smell the odor in the elevator.

Zhang Chunhe is a plumber and electrician, and he also does pipe clearance. Such a small thing is not a problem for him. It’s just that in this cold weather, if you want to get into the water, you will definitely get sick. Moreover, the water here is not ordinary water, it is sewage. Even a plumber has a suit worth hundreds of yuan, so you should cherish it.

He put on his waterproof suit and worked hard to move the manhole cover at the sewage wellhead below the stairs. The sewage well was black and a foul odor hit his face as the manhole cover opened. He had been working on the pipes for so many years and was considered an old man, but he had never smelled such a smell.

"Did you die in this well?" Zhang Chunhe said to the property company around him, "Look at how smelly this is! I have to go down, you have to add money."

The property company's people pinched their noses and retching a few times, wiped the tears from the corners of their eyes, nodded, and said, "Add two hundred yuan."

Zhang Chunhe felt that he was still very adaptable. He quickly adapted to the stench of the wellhead, covered himself with a mask, and slowly went down the escalator on the side of the sewage well.

When his head was completely down the well, because his eyes suddenly became uncomfortable with the dark eyes, only a little light transmitted from the wellhead gave him a ray of light. Before his feet touched the ground, he suddenly felt something touched his butt.

"I haven't reached the bottom of the well yet, what will be in the middle?" Zhang Chunhe grabbed the escalator in the well wall with one hand and turned on the ceiling light on the safety helmet with the other. He turned his head and looked back, and the headlight on his head illuminated the back.

Behind it is an empty sewage well, and the light transmitted from the headlights illuminates a area behind him. This is amazing, and Zhang Chunhe's hair stands up all over his body.
