Chapter 389: A Tragic Death (2/2)

I put away the light and started the autopsy.

The deceased was about twenty-five years old, with a slim figure. From the pupils and rigor mortis of the body, I narrowed down the time of death to about an hour ago, an hour after the death of the male victim.

There were traces of blunt force trauma and loosening of the hair follicles, as if the victim’s hair had been yanked. Because she was lying naked in the cement pipe, the skin repeatedly rubbed against the walls of the pipe during the violent attack so her back and inner thighs were bloody. Blood had started to congeal on the pipe walls.

Noticing a slight bulge in the victim’s lower abdomen, I asked Xiaotao to bring me a pair of tweezers.

Soon, Xiaotao's voice came from the other end of the pipe. Using a selfie stick, she handed the tweezers over. I might praise her for her ingenuity if I wasn’t faced with such a distressing scene...

I carefully stuffed the tweezers into the victim’s vagina and clipped onto a rather large object. It turned out to be the head of a toy doll with a diameter of about five centimeters.

The doll's head was covered in vaginal secretions, indicating it had been inserted into the victim’s vagina prior to her death. And it was left there for quite some time.

I turned to Xiaotao who was standing at the other end of the pipe, ”Reach out and grab the victim's hair,” I said. “You don’t have to pull hard, just make it look convincing!”

As Xiaotao tugged the victim’s hair from the other end of the pipe, I asked, ”Are there any footprints next to you?”

”Yes,” she nodded. “And you can see it with the naked eye!”

The realization dawned upon me. ”The four perpetrators took turns raping the victim. In order to increase the ‘excitement,’ they stuffed a toy doll's head into her vagina. And in the process of raping her, one of the perpetrators’ companions pulled the victim’s hair from the other end so she couldn’t resist.”

”Those beastly bastards!” cursed Xiaotao.

Although the wounds inflicted on the victim’s body were shocking, they were by no means fatal. I listened to the internal organs with the Echolocation Rod and found them intact. The victim had no bone fractures either, though the stomach was relatively empty indicating that she had been hungry for some time.

It didn't seem as if the victim died of suffocation. Thus, I checked the hyoid bone and pulled on the victim’s teeth to ascertain if the perpetrators had choked her or covered her nose and mouth.

Then, I went back to examining her nether regions. Judging from the damage of the inner vaginal wall, the perpetrators raped the victim more than four times. There were two symmetrical indentations in the vaginal opening as if it had been expanded by something. The rough movement caused the opening to tear.

I inserted a cotton swab looking for semen residue but I found only a bit of fresh blood. The color of the blood on the cotton swab was different from the blood around the victim’s vaginal opening, which indicated that she was still a virgin before being raped...

There was some vaginal discharge on the cotton swabs but no semen residue. Placing the cotton swab close to my nose, I took a whiff and found water-based lubricants. It seemed the perpetrators were all wearing condoms at the time.

After the autopsy, I climbed out from behind and took a few deep breaths to calm myself.

”Song Yang, has the cause of death been ascertained?” asked Xiaotao.

”Too much sex!” I concluded.

”Too much sex? But I thought that only happened to men!”

”Being raped can indeed lead to death. This sort of thing varies from person to person. Some women have no problem having sex dozens of times a day, but the victim was a virgin. The perpetrators violently expanded her vagina and stuffed a foreign object using tools. And then they brutally raped her which led to tearing. Her organ was in a state of excitement for a long time and secreted too much vaginal discharge, far exceeding the threshold of the victim’s body. Combined with the extreme fear and exhaustion of both body and mind, she suddenly died... ”
