Late at night, outside the autopsy room of the Criminal Police Unit.
Coming to the autopsy room at this hour made Zhao Yu feel a little guilty. There was not a single police officer on duty in the corridor, and the surroundings were strangely quiet, giving the place a strange atmosphere.
The door of the autopsy room was closed. Zhao Yu did not know if there was anyone inside, so he pressed his ear against the door to listen. As he listened, he pondered. If Zhang Peipei had already returned to the hotel to rest, there should at least be a forensic doctor in the autopsy room, right?
Who knew that he was still pondering! The door of the autopsy room suddenly opened, and a thin man in a white coat walked out!
"Ouch!" The man didn't expect there to be someone outside. When he saw Zhao Yu, he immediately screamed and covered his chest in fear.
"Oh my god!"
Zhao Yu didn't pay attention either. His heart skipped a beat. When he saw who the man in the white coat was, he quickly explained, "That's right.
"Old Gao, Old Gao, it's me! Calm down, calm down … "
"Aiyo, you scared me!" Gao Facai took off his mask and said to Zhao Yu, "Zhao Yu, what do you want to do? You know about my wife's heart bypass, right? Do you want me to tag along? "
"Sorry, sorry!"
Zhao Yu rushed over to help Hu Lu's chest, but was pushed away by Dr. Gao.
"I just came to see what was going on!" Zhao Yu explained again. "I didn't expect you to come out just as I was about to knock on the door."
"Forensic Gao …" At this moment, a voice came from the autopsy room. "Are you okay?"
"It's okay, it's okay. You guys continue, continue!" Gao Facai took a few deep breaths, then regained his composure. He then said to Zhao Yu, "I haven't seen you for a day, so I wanted to talk to you! Hmm … "As he spoke, he took out a cigarette and pointed to the far end of the corridor." Come, let's talk here! "
"Hmm? I didn't know you smoked as a forensic doctor! "In order to apologize, Zhao Yu quickly held the lighter for her and helped her light up her cigarette.
The two of them moved to the depths of the corridor. Gao Facai took a few puffs of his cigarette and said, "I can't help it … You can see how hard this job is! Sigh! I'm getting old, and I can't keep an eye on it without taking a few puffs … "
"You said you were looking for me? How is it? Any updates? "Zhao Yu asked.
"Hmm … Zhang Peipei's analysis is not bad!" Gao Facai frowned and said, "Those corpses didn't breed bacteria, so they didn't rot!"
"Oh … Do you understand now? Did someone do some embalming? "
"I can't tell …" Gao Facai sighed and said, "After the autopsy, we found a waxy substance in the internal organs and under the skin of the corpse. After testing, it was found to be a kind of saponified fat, which is what we often call corpse wax!"
"Corpse wax?" Zhao Yu was puzzled. "What's so special about it?"
"Corpse wax is mostly produced from corpses soaked in water or buried in soil with sufficient moisture. In theory, dry hanging coffins will not produce corpse wax!" Gao Facai explained. "So, we can only draw two conclusions at present.
"First, the corpse has been preserved in some unknown way. Second, the hanging coffin itself has an unknown antiseptic function. The corpse placed in the hanging coffin will inhibit the growth of bacteria and keep the corpse intact."
"You used 'unknown' twice!" Zhao Yu shook his head. "I didn't expect that you, the top experts, would still use the word 'unknown'!"
"Zhao Yu, there are always some things in this world that science can't understand at present!" Gao Facai explained. "Take the hanging coffins for example. We still can't explain exactly how the ancient people placed the heavy hanging coffins on the cliff and maintained them for thousands of years!
"The wisdom of the ancient people is sometimes far beyond our imagination!"
"You emphasize the wisdom of the ancient people," Zhao Yu said. "Does that mean you have ruled out the first possibility? The criminal didn't embalm the corpse? "
"Yes!" Gao Facai said frankly. "The most obvious point is that when the corpse left the hanging coffin, it obviously deteriorated! If it was a corpse that had been artificially treated, this would not have happened.
"In addition, there is no trace of human treatment of the corpse, and as far as I know, the world's most advanced antiseptic technology can't achieve the effect we saw!
"I think … You should be familiar with this, right? Li Fei of the Headless Female Corpses Case was caught by you! "
"Well … Indeed …" Zhao Yu remembered that Li Fei had used a very complicated process to keep the corpse from rotting.
"Yes!" Gao Facai said. "Not every corpse has corpse wax. Female corpses No. 5 and No. 6 have none at all. Female corpses No. 1 to No. 4 have less wax. Female corpse No. 7 has the most and most obvious corpse wax!"
"The more corpse wax there is, the earlier the corpse was placed in the coffin?" Zhao Yu asked.
"In theory, yes! But … Because our research on the hanging coffins is pure blank, we can't guarantee it! "Gao Facai replied.
"Okay, I see!" Zhao Yu thought for a moment and digested what Gao Facai had just said. Then, he changed the subject and said to him, "Well, old Gao, there is one more thing I have to ask you! How is the matter between Zhang Peipei and Zeng Ke going? "
It turned out that Zhao Yu had long taken Zeng Ke's matter to heart. He had asked Gao Facai about it a long time ago. So, he had long known the reason why Zhang Peipei was lukewarm towards Zeng Ke.
"Well …" Gao Facai said. "I haven't done it yet! Don't you know? My wife has a heart bypass … "
"Oh, I'm sorry. Is she okay?" Zhao Yu asked.
"She's fine. The operation went well!" Gao Facai took a puff of his cigarette and said, "But, no matter what, I still feel uneasy not being able to be with her!"
"That's good! Later, when I go back to the capital, I'll treat the two of you. Haha … "
"Actually, Peipei herself is fine …" Gao Facai said. "She told me that she had feelings for Zeng in your group. But, her parents' reaction was stronger! They thought that Zeng was not from the capital, and his family conditions were not very good. The two families were also very far apart, and there were differences in customs and so on … "
"Peipei is an only child. Her parents named her 'chaperone.' Isn't the meaning obvious?
"But? Zeng often follows the special investigation group all over the country, so … Do you understand? "Gao Facai said." If it were your daughter, what would you think? "
"I would at least respect my daughter's choice!" Zhao Yu said without hesitation. "Actually, these objective questions are nonsense. The key is that the two of them love each other!"
"Okay, okay! Don't worry! " Gao Facai put out his cigarette and said, "Actually, her parents are quite reasonable. Give me some more time, and I'll try to persuade them!"
Zhao Yu wanted to say something more, but his phone suddenly rang. When he opened it, he saw that it was Captain Xiong Wendong.
