”Not necessarily, but his cause of death isn't clear now, so I need an autopsy to confirm his real cause of death.”
”But …”
”Every discovery will have a reason for its existence. Our duty is to use our own methods to decipher the final voice left behind by the dead.”
Song Lai bit his lower lip, his eyebrows knitted together before relaxing as he was extremely conflicted.
His Master had also experienced this sort of thing in the past, and in the end, someone had sued him and brought him to the magistrate court.
Song Lai's gaze moved to Su Li, and he did not know what her small physique was …
Su Li stopped caring about the wandering Song Lai, holding onto the scalpel, he pulled off the skin, preparing to strike at the right spot.
However, before she could do anything, Song Lai had already put down the book and pen, and reached out to grab the tip of the scalpel.
”I …” I've already practiced for a few days. Can you let me give the autopsy today a try? ”
Su Li was startled for a second. She saw worry and determination in Song Lai's eyes.
”Fourth Miss, I can do it.”
Hearing that, Su Li released his hand and retreated to the side, allowing Song Lai to use his main blade.
Song Lai took a deep breath, holding onto the scalpel, he sliced open the abdomen of the dead man, as Su Li had taught him.
Then, he pushed the opening to both sides, revealing the inside of the dead man's abdomen.
”Fourth Miss, did I do well?” Song Lai heaved a sigh of relief.
”The cut was too heavy and the position was slightly off. Look at this rib, there's a clear scratch. It was caused by your knife just now.”
Song Lai lowered his head, and was a little regretful that he did not learn enough.
”But overall, it's progressing very quickly.”
Su Li comforted him and he finally raised his head.
Su Li bent over and looked at the dead man's abdominal cavity, ”There is obvious blood accumulation in the cavity, although people will bleed after death, but look, one side of the ribs broke, and deeply stabbed into the spleen.”
”But what evidence can there be to prove that it was a person who stabbed into the rock after death? Or was it someone who stabbed into his body before he died? ”
”Yes!” Su Li nodded and explained patiently. If a person dies and his spleen is punctured, there will be no biological reaction around the wound, such as contraction or curling, but if it is before death, there will be these biological reactions. ”
Song Lai carefully moved his ribs away, and after looking at the wound for a good while, he exclaimed in shock, ”Hu Guangzhuo's spleen was pierced through before he died!”
”Hmm, the tenth rib of the deceased broke and deeply stabbed into the spleen. It seems like it was due to the excessive amount of blood loss and the shock it caused, as well as the large amount of blood clogging up the trachea, causing him to die from suffocation.
”So that means, Hu Guangzhuo did not suddenly suffer from an illness, but rather died by someone's hand?”
Su Li habitually pursed her lips, her expression grave.
Song Lai reopened the skin on Hu Guangzhuo's body, pointed to the place on the abdominal area and asked, ”But why is there no trace of damage on the surface of Hu Guangzhuo's skin?”
”There are no soft tissue contusions or redness, swelling or bruises on the skin of the dead. They didn't die while arguing with others. Instead, they died under everyone's noses. There is only one possibility.
”What is it?” Song Lai was extremely curious.
”If someone had hit the abdomen of the deceased through a soft object like a quilt, then there might have been no traces left behind.”
Su Li once again pushed the skin aside, pointing at that broken rib.
”In addition, due to external forces, when the ribs were fractured, the broken end did not shift and matched well. Other than some pain at that time, the dead can still walk normally until the broken end was moved …”
Ah!” I will kill you all!
Before Su Li could finish speaking, a scream came from outside the door …
