Mystery Hunter

Chapter 236: internal organs disappear

Jiang He handed the phone to Guan Deng and asked Guan Deng to take a look at the corpse refrigerator, while he was responsible for pulling the corpse out to see if he could find any useful clues. Since there was no corpse information posted on the outside of the freezer, and the old guard didn't take any responsibility for guarding it, Jiang He could only open the drawer by drawer to see if there were corpses inside.

Yuan Jun scolded: "This old man is too irresponsible. He just puts the body in it and doesn't care. If it is lost or there is an extra one, his uncle can figure it out."

Xu Yiman stood aside and looked at Yuan Jun who was complaining and said, "In fact, to put it bluntly, no matter whether the people lying here were poor or rich, white-collar workers or migrant workers, good people or bad people, there is only one common identity here. Unclaimed bodies. Maybe they were orphans with no relatives, or their relatives were still looking for them, or their relatives abandoned the body.”

"In short, once put here, I am afraid that no one will prepare tombstones for them, and no one will care about these unowned corpses." Xu Yiman waved: "But if you can become a general teacher of medical students , it can be regarded as a benefit to mankind, and maybe the students they train will save many lives in the future.”

Yuan Jun helped Jiang He to open the drawer of the freezer. A naked body appeared in front of the two of them. At the same time, a cold air rushed towards their faces, causing Yuan Jun to shiver. It seems that although the lights outside are not on, the freezer is still working normally.

This is the corpse of an old man. It looks like he should be around sixty years old. I don't know how he died. Jiang He looked at his body, and there was no violent injury, which meant that it should not have been murdered, but a natural death of birth, old age, illness and death.

While looking at the corpse, Yuan Jun asked Xu Yiman, "What do you mean by teacher?"

Xu Yiman replied: "There are two types of anatomy, one is the specimen that can be seen with the naked eye, and the other is performed with the help of a microscope. The corpse that can be dissected with the naked eye is called the general body, such as the one in front of us. Corpse. Why is it called a teacher, because every corpse used by a medical student is a silent teacher."

Xu Yiman seemed to be a little emotional, and she continued: "It is these corpses that teach us how to dissect, how to treat diseases and save people. Respecting life and respecting corpses is what every medical student of us should and must do."

"This corpse doesn't seem to have any signs of autopsy." Jiang He pushed the corpse in again and opened another drawer.

This is the corpse of a young woman. From the outside, her head has been dented a lot, and it seems that this is her fatal injury. Jiang He saw that there were stitches on the woman's body, which seemed to have been dissected. But what made Jiang He a little strange was that he saw a hole in the corpse's stomach, about the size of an adult's fist.

The fatty tissue skin on the hole was gone, as if someone had purposely made a hole in her belly.

"Yuan Jun, take a picture of the woman's belly with your mobile phone." Jiang He said, looking at Yuan Jun.

Yuan Jun looked at the hole in the female corpse's stomach, nodded, took out his mobile phone and turned on the flashlight. The light of the flashlight shone through the belly of the female corpse, which shocked both Yuan Jun and Jiang He.

Jiang He turned his head, looked at Xu Yiman in the shadows and asked, "Xu Yiman, what are the steps of the dissection?"

"This is a very complicated process. The first is the physical examination, starting from the mouth..."

"Roughly the steps." Jiang He shook his head.

Xu Yiman didn't understand why Jiang He suddenly asked this question, but he still said: "The first step is to cut open the corpse, the second step is to remove the corpse's internal organs, the third step is to examine everything, the fourth step is to put the internal organs back, and the fifth step is to put the internal organs back. Step by step to suture the body. That's basically it, what's wrong, what's the problem?"

"But the corpse we saw, her stomach was empty, no internal organs, just a bunch of sponges." Yuan Jun said at this time.

"What?" Xu Yiman was also surprised, she walked over and squeezed aside to see the hole in the woman's belly.

Sure enough, when Xu Yiman looked at it, he saw that the internal organs in the woman's corpse's stomach were empty, replaced by square sponges. It is precisely because of this that the corpse still looks bulging from the outside, instead of collapsing.

"The internal organs in the corpse were all empty, and the sponge was stuffed into it." Jiang He said, "This must not be an autopsy step."

Xu Yiman shook his head: "Of course, it has never been dissected like this."

"Could the stolen organ be transplanted?" Yuan Jun boldly guessed.

Xu Yiman was silent for a moment, then said, "It probably won't. Organ transplantation is a very complicated operation, which requires paired tests in advance, including the test of the organ transplant recipient's physical function, and not just anyone's organs can be used. Moreover, people are already dead, and organs will die soon, even if they have this ability, time will not allow it."

Xu Yiman added: "I know there are a lot of jokes circulating on the Internet, saying that after getting drunk, I woke up and found myself lying in the bathtub, and one of my kidneys was missing, which should have been stolen. Dummies don't happen in life, because strangers who have only met once don't know who your kidneys can match, and if they are cut, they will be cut for nothing."

After a pause, Xu Yiman said: "Of course, it cannot be ruled out that these people have been staring at you for a long time, so they designed to cut off your kidneys, but the probability of this is too small, and if you dare to take such a risk, you have the ability to do this. As for the matter, I am afraid that it is not ordinary rich, just go to the hospital directly, why use such a terrifying method."

"Where did these organs go?" Yuan Jun asked, scratching his head.

Jiang He closed the drawer and went to check one body after another.

After all the bodies were examined, Jiang He fell into deep thought.

There are a total of 12 corpses stored in the funeral home in the old city, among which three are the corpses of the elderly, one is the corpse of a child, and the other eight corpses are the corpses of young people, about the age of Between twenty and forty years old. Five of the eight young corpses were female and three were male.

Jiang He discovered a strange problem. All the young women had holes in their stomachs with a diameter about the size of an adult fist. When looking through these holes, they found that the internal organs in the stomachs of these corpses were gone. In its place are chunks of sponge.

And the same thing happened to the corpse of the child. He also had a hole in his stomach and was stuffed with sponges.

"Is it the internal organs taken before the autopsy or the internal organs taken after the autopsy?" Xu Yiman looked at Jiang He and said slowly.

Jiang He analyzed: "After the autopsy, I noticed that the sutures on the stomach had stretch marks, which should be the tearing caused by the internal organs passing through the hole when the murderer took out the internal organs from the hole."

The hole is not big, only the size of an adult fist, but many internal organs are much larger than the hole, that is to say, it will never be taken by the forensic doctor during the autopsy of the corpse. Jiang He speculated that after the forensic autopsy was completed, the man infiltrated the funeral home, made a hole in the woman's belly, and took away the internal organs.

"I saw that the flap of the hole on the female corpse's stomach was smooth, and the hole was round. The murderer must have prepared tools, otherwise it would not be easy to make such a round hole in the corpse's stomach," Jiang He said.

"That's right." Xu Yiman also said: "I also noticed, and the tools used by the murderer are very sharp, no less than the knives we use to dissect corpses."

"But why did the murderer do this?" Jiang He scratched his head.

A voice suddenly came from the darkness: "This is a premeditated corpse removal case."

Everyone was startled, turned their heads to look, but found that Shao Lao was standing at the door at some point.

"Old Shao?" Xu Yiman was a little happy: "Why are you here?"

Shao Lao said: "I can't come if you can come? If Guan Deng sent me a text message, I would still be in the dark."

Jiang He said, "I was afraid that you were dealing with Wei Demian's affairs, so I didn't inform you."

Shao Lao waved his hand: "Wei Demian is already dead, and his body was cremated when he returned. He has no children, no relatives, and his apprentice has accepted his full mantle. Now that the title of criminal consultant has been handed over, the target of our task force will be From now on, it's to catch this young criminal consultant."

"Don't talk about this." Shao Lao said to Captain Liu who followed behind him: "Send a forensic doctor over, we have to re-dissect these corpses."

"What do you think the murderer is going to do?" Jiang He asked.

Mr. Shao said slowly: "The criminal consultant has already used our inertial psychology to kill Wang Chao. This time he can't use the same method. Starting from the case itself, the murderer must be a person with a mental disorder."

"Guan Deng texted me, saying that only women and children have holes in their stomachs?" Shao Lao asked.

Jiang He nodded.

Shao Lao continued: "He thinks that the internal organs of children and women are clean, while the internal organs of men and old people are dirty. Therefore, he will only attack women and children. Do you think there is anything strange about the corpses here? ?"

Several people shook their heads.

Jiang He suddenly said, "Time."

Shao Lao nodded and said with a smile, "Yes, Jiang He's power of observation is still as sharp as before. If I'm not mistaken, those female corpses should not have died for more than a month, otherwise the corpses in the belly of the female corpses should not be dead for more than a month. Organs will undergo changes such as decay. Although the freezer can prolong this time, if specimens are not made as soon as possible, the corpse will still rot and deteriorate.”

Xu Yiman said, "Yes, that's right. The corpse can't be used directly as a general teacher. Before that, it takes a period of processing to keep the general teacher for a longer time."

"If there is no corpse." Shao Lao said: "He will make a new corpse."

"You mean, he will kill to get the internal organs?" Yuan Jun asked.

Shao Lao nodded.
