This was a spacious autopsy room. The shadowless lamp lit up the place but it could not melt away the chill.
On the autopsy table was a large male body. The blood had already coagulated and the flesh had lost its elasticity. It was only because it was soaked in formalin and kept cold that it did not rot. The dissection staff beside the dissection table had already cut open the top of the skull and cut open the dura mater. They were in the process of extracting the brain.
This autopsy team was formed by the headquarters of Phecda. It was a team of experts in anatomy, pathology, spirituality, spells, and many other fields.
It was mainly Phecda members but there were also members from Mysterium — especially in spell, Phecda had no choice but to do so.
Feng Peiqian was the leader of the Spell Team. She led her team to monitor for abnormal energy fluctuations and prepare for any unexpected situations.
However, since the autopsy started, nothing had happened. Other than the heavy pressure on the team, everything was peaceful.
He Feiling was suspended for investigation. All 15 members of the Fixers were suspended for investigation.
They were in low spirits. To prevent further damage, both Phecda and Mysterium Phecda had to clean up this mess.
Yesterday, Feng Peiqian visited He Feiling. It had been a week but He Feiling still felt guilty. No matter what, as the leader of the Special Mobile Force, he failed to notice Di Minghui's abnormality and failed to protect the mission target in time. This was a serious dereliction of duty …
"The first shot was not fatal …" He Feiling said. That was the preliminary autopsy result from the coroner. "It was the second shot … If my reaction was any faster, even if I pushed Captain Gu away half a second earlier, this might not have happened …"
He Feiling's mental injury could still be healed.
But Gu Jun was already a dead body on the autopsy table.
Feng Peiqian sighed silently. Her eyes were already red. She felt sad for Gu Jun but at the same time, she was reminded of Yu Chi.
If they were more considerate, they wouldn't have ended up like this.
Perhaps there would be another simple banquet today, where everyone would drink and chat merrily …
The autopsy room was quiet but it had been a week since the earthquake and the aftershocks were still raging.
Feng Peiqian was not familiar with this. She was not a member of Phecda and a normal Phecda member would not know about this.
This matter had not yet been announced. Whether or how it would be announced was still a question.
However, she knew that the Tian Ji Spell Department was in an uproar and Tong Ye had requested for the upper echelons to investigate the matter. What was going on with Di Minghui? Was the assassination entirely his own idea, or was it ordered by someone else? Had Phecda been infiltrated by the dark forces? These are all under investigation.
She also knew that Wu Shiyu, Deng Ximei, and the other close friends of Gu Jun had been arranged to take a break, and each had their own psychological counseling.
Can those psychologists really calm their emotions?
No one could truly understand their feelings. Even though Feng Peiqian had experienced it herself and had yet to walk out of that pain, she still could not completely understand it.
She only knew that sadness, pain, sorrow, unwillingness, regret … these emotions would follow them like shadows.
"The border of the tentorium of the cerebellum has been cut open. No abnormalities found …"
The autopsy report sounded again, like the cold blade of a scalpel. These people did not allow themselves to fall into any kind of emotion. No matter who was on the table, no matter what storm was brewing outside, for this team, this was a serious autopsy, a scientific study.
The whole autopsy process would be recorded by many surveillance cameras. These images would become top secret files, but they could also become valuable information for future generations.
'What should we do with Gu Jun's body?' There was a storm, but in the end, the voice that advocated for the autopsy won.
To see if there was any unique structure, to see if they could find anything valuable, to see if they could understand the reason behind Gu Jun's uniqueness …
This was the last contribution that Gu Jun could make.
"The incision has reached the sigmoid sulcus of the petrous temporal bone, no abnormalities found …"
Feng Peiqian sighed again. Her heart tightened. She might have overestimated her mental endurance, this mission was not as easy as she thought.
But she had to hold on. She knew that she was not only standing here on her own behalf but also on behalf of Wu Shiyu and the rest … She was the only person that they could trust.
The autopsy team did not include Gu Jun's family or friends, not a single one. They were not fit to be here.
Especially Wu Shiyu … This was probably hell for Dirty-minded Yu.
Captain Yu had just passed away. During the most difficult period, Feng Peiqian was taken care of by Wu Shiyu. Therefore, no matter how painful it was, she had to keep an eye on Gu Jun. When she told Wu Shiyu about the autopsy process, she had to make sure that she was telling the truth, that Gu Jun's body was not desecrated.
With a crisp clang, another piece of shrapnel was removed by the dissecting staff with the dissecting forceps and placed on the stainless steel plate on the instrument cart next to them.
The tray was filled with shrapnel of different shapes and sizes. There were also pieces of brain tissue that stuck out from the tray.
"The 41st piece of shrapnel." The middle-aged man said in a deep voice. His name was Xiao Huiwen, an expert on Phecda.
Feng Peiqian knew Xiao Huiwen and Gu Jun knew each other. They had worked together many times on the autopsy of abnormal creatures.
"Brain stem rupture, the whole brain cannot be fully formed and removed …"
"Trigeminal nerve normal … abducens nerve normal … facial nerve normal … no abnormalities found …"
"Left and right nerves dissected … spinal cord dissected, both sides of the vertebral arteries dissected … no abnormalities found …"
The group of anatomists operated step by step. After completing these steps, one of the anatomists slowly lowered the head of the corpse with both hands. Xiao Huiwen gently removed the medulla oblongata and cerebellum. A large lump of brain tissue that was dyed red by cerebral hemorrhage was removed and placed on another tray.
Then, the various brain regions were slowly removed from the skull piece by piece.
Research on Gu Jun's brain was of utmost importance. The research was not only carried out in the autopsy room, there were also various slices, reconstructions and tests.
In the end, the skull that didn't have a roof, a piece of the right forehead was missing, and the left eye socket was broken. Other than some bloodstains, it was completely empty.
Xiao Huiwen choked. This was not how things should have ended …
Due to the facial autopsy, the cadaver's face was not covered with a sterile cloth. The left eye was gone and the right eyeball was murky. The light scars on the face told the story of the pain the cadaver had suffered.
