"Let me just say it's too early for you."

Lin Xinyi patted Mao Lilan's back gently to help calm her down. After taking care of her for a long time, she finally relieved the little girl from the unprecedented nausea and vomiting.

"Mr. Lin, I'm sorry, I made this place dirty." Mao Lilan raised her head in embarrassment, her face still looking pale.

"This is normal, there is nothing to be sorry for."

Lin Xinyi comforted him a little, and then handed over the tissue paper that had also been prepared:

"Wipe your mouth. If you can't hold on, you can leave now."

"No, we have come to this point."

"Anyway, there is nothing left to vomit. Let me continue to help!"

Mao Lilan wiped the corners of her mouth gently while bravely insisting on staying.

Her mind is simple yet stubborn, and as long as she is sure of something, she will stick to it until the end.

"Okay." Lin Xinyi admired this student's strong will:

"Then you put on clean gloves, take a camera to help take pictures and record, and we'll officially start."

The autopsy officially started, but it did not start directly. Before the autopsy, the body surface of the corpse had to be completely inspected.

"The skin on the body surface and even the inner muscle layer are charred and charred. The situation is not optimistic."

Lin Xinyi carefully inspected the body surface, his brows became more and more frowned.

Mao Lilan also bravely followed to check, and soon discovered something suspicious:

"Mr. Lin, are these wounds knife wounds?"

"No." Lin Xinyi shook his head.

Thinking that this dissection was also for the purpose of teaching students, he temporarily distracted himself and explained to Mao Lilan:

"This is a special phenomenon called 'skin cracking' that occurs when corpses are exposed to high temperatures."

"Because high temperature causes the skin to solidify and shrink, it separates and cracks from the subcutaneous tissue. It generally appears in a straight line or arc shape, and the direction is more consistent with the skin lines."

"When examining this kind of charred corpse, we should pay attention to distinguish this corpse phenomenon from cuts and chop wounds."

Lin Xinyi explained while conducting an autopsy, and soon discovered something:

"Look, this is the edge of the knife."

"There were obvious stab wounds on the deceased's back. Judging from the location of the wound and the angle of entry of the knife, it is likely that someone stabbed the heart from behind."

"This kind of injury is undoubtedly fatal and can cause death. Judging from the circumstances of the case, the deceased should have been stabbed to death by the murderer in the back. After his death, the body was hidden by the murderer in the bonfire of the Chigui Village fire festival."

Lin Xinyi explained in detail the trauma found on the body, while Mao Lilan, as his assistant, seriously picked up the camera and helped take pictures and records.

"The high temperature destroys too many signs of the body, and there's only so much that can be seen on the body surface."

"Then let's start the dissection!"

Lin Xinyi sighed deeply.

As he spoke, he stood solemnly on the right side of the dissecting table and bowed slightly to the deceased being dissected.

Without Lin Xinyi's explanation, Mao Lilan could tell that he was expressing respect for the deceased as a forensic doctor.

She followed suit and stood next to Lin Xinyi, bowing to the deceased and muttering subconsciously:

"Don't worry, Mr. Negishi."

"We will definitely find the truth for you and catch the murderer!"

"Well, it will definitely happen." Lin Xinyi was not surprised by Mao Lilan's naivety in chatting with the dead, but agreed very seriously: "Because this is the job of our forensic doctors."

Then, he stood up straight and picked up a scalpel from the instrument cart next to him.

What we need to do this time is a systematic dissection. We need to open three cavities, that is, open the cranial cavity, chest cavity, and abdominal cavity, and conduct a systematic and complete anatomical investigation.

"I am accustomed to using the one-word incision method, which is the most trouble-free, direct and convenient."

"It starts from the midline of the lower edge of the mandible, along the neck, the midline of the chest and abdomen, around the left side of the umbilicus, to the upper edge of the pubic symphysis, and incises the skin and subcutaneous tissue."

Lin Xinyi explained the anatomy techniques to Mao Lilan, giving her an initial impression.

Then, as he explained, he used the knife to slowly draw a long straight line along the center line of the lower edge of the mandible from top to bottom.

This knife cuts directly through the skin and soft tissue, and goes deep enough to expose the ribs of the chest.

From the current point of view, it is just a long, straight gash on the corpse, so the visual impact is not too great.

But then

I saw Lin Xinyi put down the scalpel and inserted his hand wearing two layers of gloves into the open incision in the middle of the chest.

Just like taking off a heavy piece of clothing, he tightly grasped the skin, subcutaneous fat and pectoralis major muscles as a whole layer, and peeled them off along the ribs to both sides.

The skin has been completely charred, and when you squeeze it, it starts to shatter and fall like a crumbled shortbread.

And because the thick fat layer under the skin has been severely roasted at high temperatures, it does not appear to be a yellowish color that looks similar to chicken fat under normal circumstances.

The entire fat layer was roasted until it shrank and leaked oil.

So when you peel it off with force, the grease visible to the naked eye will be squeezed out quickly.

""

Seeing this scene, Mao Lilan's face became increasingly pale.

She bit her lip tightly and her body trembled for a while, but in the end she insisted on standing firm and did not look away.

"So strong"

Lin Xinyi couldn't help but sigh softly.

He actually felt that Mao Lilan and himself were quite similar. They both studied martial arts first and then medicine, so they naturally had the perseverance of a warrior.

With this perseverance, one can quickly adapt to harsh environments that are difficult for ordinary people to adapt to.

"After peeling off the skin, fat and muscle layers, check the soft tissues for bleeding and edema, whether the sternum and ribs are fractured, the location and shape of the fracture, and whether there are any life-related reactions in the surrounding tissues."

"It's just that the soft tissue layers of this corpse are quite charred, so you can't tell that much."

Seeing that Mao Lilan was quite energetic, Lin Xinyi simply gave her a lecture.

And he explained to Mao Lilan, and at the same time asked her assistant to help out a little and participate:

"Hand me the tweezers."

"Yeah." Mao Lilan reacted quickly, found a pair of tweezers from the equipment cart and handed it over.

It's obvious that she has gradually become accustomed to such impactful images and can keep up with Lin Xinyi's rhythm.

As soon as Lin Xin took the forceps, he carefully used the forceps to lift the peritoneum and make a small incision.

Then, under Mao Lilan's admiring gaze, Lin Xinyi directly stretched out the index finger and middle finger of his left hand to insert into the small opening to open it, and then used a knife to slowly cut open the peritoneum between the two fingers.

Just like cutting the plastic envelope of a book, this can lift the peritoneum and cut it to avoid damaging the organs in the abdominal cavity during cutting.

The peritoneum is incised, and the muscles connected to the lower edge of the chest wall are cut along the costal arch to expand the abdominal cavity and the abdominal cavity is completed.

"The anatomy generally starts with the chest and abdominal cavity like this, and the cervical dissection is placed at the back."

"Because dissecting the chest and abdomen is equivalent to draining the blood first, it can avoid affecting the observation of the original damage and bleeding in the neck due to blood contamination of the anatomical area of ​​the neck when cutting the soft tissue of the neck."

"Especially for those who are suspected of being hanged, strangled, or strangled to death, this order of dissection must be adopted, first the chest and abdomen and then the neck."

"Of course, the body fluids of this charred corpse evaporated in large quantities at high temperatures, so bloodletting is of little use. In fact, we can also start from the neck."

Lin Xinyi explained to Mao Lilan in detail while immersing himself in his work.

"I understand." Mao Lilan nodded seriously, combined with the pictures he saw, and silently wrote down the knowledge.

Lin Xin, on the other hand, increased his speed, finished opening the abdominal cavity, completely exposing the ribs, and then hurriedly opened the chest cavity.

He took the scalpel and started cutting from the second costal cartilage.

When cutting, the blade is deflected to the outside, and the costal cartilage and intercostal muscles are cut off one by one along the inside of the junction of the ribs and costal cartilage. Use a scalpel to cut off the sternoclavicular joint and the first rib in an "S" shape.

Then, he lifted the rib arch against the sternum and the posterior wall of the costal cartilage to separate the transverse sternal and mediastinal connective tissue.

Finally, the sternum is removed to expose the chest cavity, and the chest cavity is completely opened.

After doing this, Lin Xinyi stopped moving and fell into silence thinking.

"Mr. Lin Xinyi, do you have any questions?"

Mao Lilan noticed the solemn expression on Lin Xinyi's expression.

“The situation is a bit troublesome”

"This body was too damaged by the high temperature."

Lin Xinyi's tone became a little solemn:

After opening it, I realized how badly the body had been damaged by the high temperature.

Not only does the carbonization extend from the skin to the muscle layer, but even the organs and tissues in the body that can be seen after opening the chest and abdominal cavity are almost cooked by the powerful heat that penetrates from the outside.

Although these organs were not roasted to the same level as the surface skin, the worst case scenario was avoided.

But the carcass was like a roast duck that was cooked just right. It was burnt on the outside but almost cooked on the inside.

"The main purpose of our autopsy is to determine the true time of Mr. Negishi's death and to overturn Yutaka Abe's alibi."

"If the roasting is not too severe, you can easily determine the time of death by directly observing whether the organs in the body are decayed and discolored, or by extracting the decaying bacteria in the organ tissue for research."

"But now"

Looking at the organs that had been severely discolored and deformed due to high temperature, Lin Xinyi sighed helplessly:
Chapter completed!
