Chapter 119: Chapter 119: A Special Discovery

After a brief explanation.

Li Jian, Jiang An, Wan, and Zhang Yean walked into the forensic autopsy preparation room.

While putting on the protective clothing and gloves, Li Jian suddenly asked, ”Mr. Wu is on vacation. Do we need to invite a forensic autopsy worker to assist this time?”

Jiang An smiled and said, ”Mr. Li, that’s not necessary.”

”I can perform the autopsy myself, I have the touch, and it’s more intuitive.”

Li Jian asked, ”Do the methods of autopsy differ?”

Jiang An smiled.

”The tools used are the same, but the organs cut out by forensic autopsy workers don’t satisfy me, and the judgment value is greatly reduced.”

”Especially in forensic examinations, some trace evidence is fleeting.”

”If we don’t discover those key trace evidences right away, they might completely disappear in later examinations.”

Li Jian’s mouth curled slightly after listening.

”I have been in Jiangcheng for criminal investigation work for many years.”

”Since I came here, the forensic department was equipped with autopsy workers.”

”So, like the previous Wu You and two other veteran forensic experts, they basically wouldn’t do it themselves.”

”However, since you arrived in Jiangcheng, I’ve noticed the autopsy knife is once again wielded by forensic experts.”

While putting on his autopsy clothing, Jiang An said, ”Mr. Li, autopsy workers can improve the efficiency of autopsies.”

”But I can perform the autopsy with both hands, and one person’s efficiency is already sufficient.”

Zhang Yean laughed beside him.

”I remember hearing from the forensic medicine teacher when attending police academy, among the people he knows, only one person can perform a two-handed autopsy.”

Wan also stepped forward and patted Jiang An’s shoulder.

”Exactly, just based on this, I think you’re already outclassing many peers.”

”You’re truly a chosen forensic expert, very talented.”

Five minutes later, the four of them pushed open the sliding door of the No. 1 forensic autopsy room.

At this moment.

Lying on the stainless steel autopsy table was a man.

However, the man’s head and torso were separated.

He had been frozen for several months, and now that he was dragged out, he had become a cold dry corpse.

Jiang An approached the autopsy table and touched the corpse.

”This corpse is severely frozen, making an autopsy now very difficult.”

”I suggest thawing the body first and then performing the autopsy.”

Li Jian nodded. ”This is your domain, you take charge.”

Zhang Yean also said, ”We’ll follow your arrangements; we’re just here to assist.”

Jiang An nodded and then said, ”Senior sister, senior brother, please assist me.”

”I will place this corpse into the thaw basin.”

Today, Zhang Yean didn’t show her usual reluctance towards the corpse and directly stepped forward to lift the deceased’s right foot.

Soon, the three of them adjusted the position of the corpse and placed it into a rectangular trough.

At the same time, Jiang An turned on the faucet to let the running water constantly impact the frozen corpse.

Zhang Yean curiously said, ”So, forensic experts thaw corpses this way.”

Wan touched the flowing water.

He said, ”I think using warm water to soak and thaw would be faster, wouldn’t it?”

Jiang An shook his head.

”Although warm water thaws faster, it may affect the observation of skin tissue.”

”Only with this room-temperature water and under running conditions does thawing work best, not affecting the forensic observations afterward.”

Wang remarked with emotion.

”Forensic medicine is truly profound, full of learning everywhere.”

Jiang An picked up the deceased’s head and placed it on the autopsy tray.

”Now, we can start by examining the deceased’s head.”

”There are relatively fewer muscles in the head, so no special thawing is needed.”

The other three instantly gathered around, surrounding the head.

Jiang An noticed the deceased’s hair was thick.

”Senior sister, did Mr. Wu perform a detailed examination of the deceased’s head at the time?”

Zhang Yean recalled.

”I remember Mr. Wu focused on examining the deceased’s face at the time, turning over the hair and looking, but didn’t find open wounds, so no further examination was done.”

After listening, Jiang An picked up the scalpel beside him.

”The deceased’s hair is relatively dense, making visual observation difficult and unable to comprehensively observe the details of the scalp.”

”Now, I’m going to shave the deceased’s hair and then examine it; it might be more straightforward.”

Upon hearing this, the three were somewhat surprised.

They had seen scenes of shaving a deceased’s hair but using a Willow Leaf Blade for shaving was a first.

In their impression, the examination of the deceased’s scalp usually involved using electric shaving tools.

Today was their first time encountering the use of a Willow Leaf Blade for shaving.

Looking at the Willow Leaf Blade before them, Zhang Yean raised her hand and pointed.

”Junior brother, can this Willow Leaf Blade really shave hair?”

Jiang An turned his head and glanced.

”The Willow Leaf Blade is very sharp, absolutely capable.”

”When I was studying at my alma mater, the dean of the forensic school mentioned that an excellent forensic expert is also an excellent barber.”

Li Jian’s mouth curled slightly upwards.

”Then today, let’s wait and see if Jiang An’s shaving skills are as excellent as his forensic skills.”

Then, the attention of the three shifted to the Willow Leaf Blade.

Jiang An lifted the Willow Leaf Blade, keeping it at a 45-degree angle to the scalp.

Starting from the skin of the deceased’s forehead, he gently exerted force with his wrist.

Instantly, the quiet autopsy room was filled with the sound of ”zzz” noises.

The blade in Jiang An’s hand moved constantly, resembling a harvester in the countryside fields.

The blade cut through with such efficiency it seemed to eradicate even the roots, making them imperceptible.

Five minutes later.

The once thick hair lay scattered on the stainless steel tray.

Now revealed before the four of them was a perfectly round and shiny bald head.

The three of them stood there, stunned and somewhat incredulous.

This shaving speed was even faster than that of an electric clipper.

Li Jian, Wan, and Zhang Yean instantly gave a thumbs up.

”Incredible! My man.”

”Now I truly believe that a great forensic examiner must also be a great barber.”

Wan joked, ”You’ll never have to worry about unemployment.”

”If you can’t continue as a forensic examiner, setting up a stall under a bridge or by the roadside, charging 5 yuan for a haircut, should still have a large market.”

Jiang An shook his head.

”If customers knew I’ve shaved the heads of the deceased, they probably wouldn’t accept it even for free.”

Zhang Yean said, ”Use a different blade in the future, and no one will know you’re a forensic examiner.”

Just as they were joking around, Jiang An’s gaze fixed upon the scalp of the deceased.

Suddenly, he noticed a swollen area on the top of the deceased’s head.

He gradually restrained his smile, his expression becoming serious.

Li Jian noticed the change in Jiang An’s hand movements.

He asked, ”What’s up? Is there a problem?”

Jiang An nodded.

He said, ”Mr. Li, there’s a swollen area on the top of the deceased’s scalp.”

Following the direction of Jiang An’s finger, the three of them saw the red change in the scalp.

Zhang Yean curiously asked, ”What’s the issue?”

”This change in scalp swelling indicates skin bleeding.”

”I suspect the deceased was hit on the top of the head before death.”

”Impact?”

...

The three were instantly dumbfounded.

The previously relaxed atmosphere turned tense.

Li Jian bent down, observing closely.

After a long time, he asked, ”I see the scalp swelling isn’t extensive, and there’s no wound on the skin.”

”Even if there was an impact, would it be very forceful?”

Jiang An shook his head and said.

”The deceased had very thick hair.”

”When a blunt object strikes the top of the head, the hair acts as a great buffer.

”So, just from this area of swelling, it’s impossible to determine the force of impact.”

”Later, we need to separate the scalp to see if the skull is fractured.”

”And even check if there’s bleeding in the corresponding part inside the skull.”

After listening, Li Jian nodded.

However, he had a bad feeling in his heart.

Any head injury is serious.

Immediately, Jiang An picked up two Willow Leaf Blades, starting to cut from the top of the scalp, moving to the sides, exposing the skull.

Quickly.

The scalp of the deceased was peeled back.

Immediately, Jiang An put down the Willow Leaf Blades, locating the skull corresponding to the swollen skin area.

As expected, there was a slight dent in the bone.

Jiang An pointed to the dent in the skull.

”Mr. Li, this impact caused local bone damage, suggesting considerable force.”

Li Jian’s heartbeat suddenly accelerated after seeing it.

The head is a vital organ of the body.

If subjected to force, it could potentially be life-threatening.

Subsequently, Jiang An analyzed, ”This injury is peculiar, located on the top of the deceased’s head.”

”According to forensic anatomical analysis, it’s likely an impact injury, not caused by a fall.”

”If we fell forward, the damage would be on the forehead.”

”Falling backward would cause damage to the back of the head.”

”Falling to the sides would cause damage to the temples.”

Finally, Jiang An concluded, ”No matter the position of a fall, it wouldn’t cause injury to the top of the head.”

After listening, Li Jian asked, ”Are you suggesting the attacker ambushed from behind?”

Jiang An nodded.

”And I think the assailant is likely tall, capable of delivering a high-level strike.”

Then, Li Jian asked, ”Can such a bone dent cause unconsciousness or a coma?”

”Mr. Li, a fracture itself won’t cause a person to fall into a coma.”

”Only internal skull bleeding or brain tissue injury can cause unconsciousness and loss of awareness.”

”I’ll immediately use an electric cranial saw to open the skull and check for internal bleeding or brain tissue damage.”

After saying this, Jiang An turned around to grab the electric cranial saw from the tool table.

Two minutes later, a circular crack appeared in the skull.

Then, Jiang An took out a T-shaped hammer, inserting it into the skull crack and exerted force through his wrist.

With a ”pop” sound, the skull cap split in two.

Yet.

The moment the skull cap was separated, everyone stood rooted to the spot.
