when you stare into the abyss

Chapter3

Wan Tong reflexively took two steps back, his face paled in shock, and he blurted out in disbelief: "Not completely dead, a fake corpse?"

"Officer Wan, you are a practitioner of Marxism. Please kill such unscientific rhetoric as fraudulent corpses in time." Nie Zhiyan did not change his face, and continued to move his hands calmly. Under the mask, his lips were smudged Open a barely noticeable smile.

"This is the putrefaction gas produced by the gastrointestinal tract of the corpse, commonly known as belching, but, boss, the neck is locked up after being hanged, so?" Lu Dongdong kept writing, talking while writing.

When Nie Zhiyan heard this, he slightly raised the neck of the corpse, and leaned over to observe the charred and blackened surface. Since it had been burned at a high temperature, the hanging ditch must be nowhere to be found with the naked eye.She frowned, and opened the slightly opened mouth of the corpse again, only to find that the tip of the tongue was tightly pressed against the mandible.

"Dongdong, help me turn him into a prone position."

"Okay." The man put down the pen and paper in his hand and stepped forward.

The two turned the corpse over together, and Nie Zhiyan paced to the position above his head and looked closely. The wound three centimeters below the right brain of the corpse was raised, and the color was slightly different from the surrounding area.

She raised her head, just as Lu Dongdong handed over surgical forceps, took them in her hands, carefully removed a small piece of tissue, and put it into a petri dish.

"Excluding suicide, the deceased should have been injured by a blunt instrument on the head, but it was not fatal. While he fainted, the murderer strangled him from behind with a rope-like weapon, and then hung him from a high place to die of hypoxia. Because The deceased was in a coma state, so the tip of the tongue didn't respond obviously, it didn't protrude, and it only touched the lower jaw."

She spoke neither fast nor slow, but her rhythmic and clear order made it easy for people to understand.

"That is deliberate murder, which is an abnormal death." Wan Tong stood opposite her, thinking, and strode over.

"As for premeditated murder or passionate murder, further evidence is needed, as well as your investigation. Officer Wan, you can't preconceive everything."

Wan Tong was completely different, he didn't expect Nie Zhiyan to be so verbal, and immediately added: "Hey, I was just joking."

Nie Zhiyan was speechless, rolled his eyelids, gave her a blank look, walked around her and walked back to the stage.Wan Tong's dark eyeballs wandered around, reminiscing about Nie Zhiyan's expression, what if it wasn't disgust?

She imitated the sound of the corpse, sighed, turned around, and saw that the woman had already cut open the abdomen of the deceased, exposing some shriveled internal organs.

She was not far away, and even though she was wearing a mask, the stench of blood and corruption still lingered in her nostrils, challenging her limits time and time again.It was at this time that Nie Zhiyan cut open the small intestine, and a small amount of white and dark yellow liquid mixed with digestive fluid flowed out.The impact of vision and smell at the same time was unbearable for the overwhelmed stomach, Wan Tong covered his mouth and nose, and made a sound of "uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu".

"If you can't stand it, go out and vomit, don't pollute the corpse." The woman didn't raise her eyes, as if she didn't even have a tone of concern.

Wan Tong suddenly felt sore, it wasn't a grievance, she just felt uncomfortable, but she felt uncomfortable, but she didn't want to be looked down upon, she gritted her teeth and swallowed the foreign object that had overflowed her throat, the taste was really sour.She blinked the tears overflowing from her physiological reaction, and looked at the dissecting table again.

"The food in the stomach has been completely digested, but there are still vegetable residues and minced meat in the small intestine, indicating that the time of death may be 4-12 hours from the last meal. Of course, the digestibility varies from person to person, and the role of stomach contents is small, so It's just an estimate, and it needs to be inferred based on the feedback from the on-site trace inspection and firefighting."

The first autopsy was coming to an end, and Wan Tong gradually got used to it. She asked her some questions, but Nie Zhiyan didn't answer a few questions, and said that she would write a preliminary autopsy report, and politely declined the next communication.

"I'll take the report directly tomorrow morning, and I have to work overtime tonight, so I'll have dinner first." Still in the old habit, before Wan Tong could reply, she took off her dissecting suit, threw it into the dirt collection bucket in the corner, and walked out.

As an assistant, Lv Dongdong stayed to tidy up the utensils on the dissecting table and laboratory table, and said earnestly: "The boss is like this. She works rigorously and conscientiously, and she doesn't talk much, but she is a nice person. She never hides the details of anatomy, and she will teach me." He turned on the faucet, cleaned the knives, and spoke again, "She scolded you and told you not to vomit, but she was actually helping you. As a policeman, you should adapt as soon as possible. The scene of the crime is much more disgusting than this corpse. If you hold back once, it will be much better next time, go home and make some ginger soup at night, the boss taught you."

After Wan Tong heard it, she thought it made sense, but she didn't mean to blame Nie Zhiyan at all, and even suddenly had the urge to impress Aunt Yan.She, Wan Tong, was the best student of the Criminal Police Academy's Investigation Department for four consecutive years, with real talents and practical learning.

Yan Yue smiled at Lu Dongdong, thanked him a few words, took off the disposable dissection suit, and took a step first.

—————————————————————

Wan Tong went straight back to the office, knowing that the horse team had just finished their work and they should still be on their way.At this moment, her stomach began to growl like a beating drum, and she wanted to eat something to cushion her stomach. She would definitely have to work overtime at night as Aunt Yan said.

At sunset, there were not many colleagues eating in the office cafeteria. Nie Zhiyan took a bowl of beef noodles and sat down at a table by the window.

Two minutes later, Wan Tong strode into the cafeteria, walked around the food windows, suddenly remembered today's corpse, and suddenly lost his appetite.He only asked for two steamed buns from the eldest sister in the cafeteria, looked at Nie Zhiyan by the window, moved forward three steps at a time, and sat down on the chair opposite her.

"Take the steamed buns and go a little farther away." The woman swallowed the beef in her mouth, she was born with a keen sense of smell, and said in disbelief.

"Ah?" You haven't spoken yet, won't you provoke her again?

"You didn't take a shower when you came out of the autopsy room?"

"I don't know, no one told me, does it stink?" Wan Tong raised his arm and placed it on the tip of his nose at close range, the stench brought the picture of the autopsy to reappear in front of her eyes.

"Ouch..." He held back in the dissecting room, but couldn't hold back in the cafeteria. Wan Tong got up and ran, with his left arm propped on the wall five meters away from Nie Zhiyan, throwing up the food he had eaten at noon. Basu, the coefficient went into the belly of the trash can.

When she finished vomiting, breathed out, and walked back to the original place, there was no one at the dining table, and there was a bowl of light yellow water next to the steamed buns. She lowered her head and smelled it, it was ginger soup.

After drinking the ginger soup, Wan Tong walked out of the cafeteria slowly. She saw that under the warm afterglow of the setting sun, the woman was holding a pony dog ​​that should be only a few months old. The bright smile I saw for the first time.
