Late at night, Kun Yang Police Station, autopsy center.
"Old Gao is really getting old, so he can't keep an eye on him anymore." Forensic Guo Fengzhan said to Zhao Yu, holding a box of instant noodles. "I told him to go back and rest!"
"You …" Zhao Yu frowned and asked, "Why do you like to eat instant noodles from the autopsy room so much?"
"Hehe, you're not the first person to ask me this question," Guo Fengzhan smiled. "It's just a habit I developed when I was young!
"At that time, I would lie in the autopsy room and work for several days. Some of the corpses had rotted so badly that they wouldn't wait for anyone!
"That's why I could only make do with a few bites. But I didn't expect that I would lose my appetite after leaving the autopsy room. Only by eating here can I feel full!"
"Pervert!" Since they were already familiar with each other, Zhao Yu joked and said, "Since you called me over so late at night, you must have some good news for me, right?
"How was it? Did you find anything?"
"I took in the second victim of the live broadcast today," Guo Fengzhan said. "I know that the live broadcast murder case is your top priority, so I didn't dare to disturb you during the day!
"But, I think the Frozen Female Corpses Case shouldn't be dragged on for too long.
"Today, the husband and child of the deceased came again. They said that they hoped that we could solve the case as soon as possible so that they could retrieve the body and hold a funeral for the deceased.
"Also, the deceased's relatives are also clamoring to come to the police station …
"Of course, it has been confirmed that the corpse was frozen for a very long time. We still have many technical flaws in preserving the corpse, so we can't store it for too long …"
"I know, I know," Zhao Yu said. "We've been looking into it. I've asked the provincial office to set up a special task force. We haven't left it alone!"
"To be honest …" Guo Fengzhan said sadly, "I've been doing autopsies all my life, and this is the first time I've come across such a strange corpse. I'm also very curious about what this case is all about!
"Why would someone throw a frozen corpse into the river …"
"Is there really …" Medical Examiner Guo asked, "The kind of cargo ship with cold storage? You have to know that the corpse has been frozen for over 30 years. I'm afraid there aren't any boats on the Jing River that are this old, right? "
"I've thought about this before, but ships can be changed!" Zhao Yu said. "When the boat is old and can't be used anymore, the murderer can build a new boat. He just needs to transfer the frozen bodies, and then he can continue."
"Oh …" Guo Fengzhan nodded. "That's true. His brain is so rusty …"
"It's just that … Tsk tsk …" Zhao Yu smacked his lips and said, "We've been asking around for the past few days, and they said that there are no ships with cold storage in Jingjiang!"
"Oh? Really? "Guo Fengzhan was surprised." No? "
"Of course," Zhao Yu said. "Now that the highways are so developed, and the fresh produce market is all about efficiency, people rarely use boats!
"Currently, the boats that are still in use on the river are basically transporting sand and stone materials. Only the sand and stone materials can be transported by water. There's no rush, and it can also save costs!"
"That's not right, right?" Guo Fengzhan asked again. "What about the fishing industry? It's only natural for a fishing boat to have a cold storage on the boat, right? "
"No!" Zhao Yu said, "The fishing industry now is different from the past. Jing River has very strict regulations, so you can't catch fish just because you want to. Generally, only qualified fishing companies can catch fish. The companies also have strict control and inspection systems. Not to mention that there is no cold storage, even if there was, it would have been discovered long ago …"
"Oh, that's true …" Guo Fengzhan said. "The person who froze Su Ruohua should have a private cold storage. So … Is it more difficult?"
"Mm …" Zhao Yu thought of something and asked, "You haven't answered my question yet, right?"
"Oh … Oh oh …" Guo Fengzhan came back to his senses and immediately handed a report to Zhao Yu. "This is the autopsy report. That's all we can do for now. We'll have to wait for further tests to determine the details!"
"Okay." Zhao Yu opened the report and saw the important information at first glance. He asked hurriedly, "So … The cause of death has been found?"
"Yes, the blood at the heart pump was stagnant, and the serum enzymes were abnormal. There were also some subtle characteristics that were consistent with cardiogenic shock!" Guo Fengzhan answered.
"But, shock doesn't kill!" Zhao Yu looked at the report, then looked at Guo Fengzhan and asked, "So, she was still frozen to death?"
"Yes, this is the most reasonable explanation we can think of," Guo Fengzhan said. "There are several types of cardiogenic shock. Sometimes, there will be airway obstruction, or even cardiac arrest …"
"What the f * ck!" Zhao Yu suddenly understood what he meant. "You're not trying to tell me that Su Ruohua's death was an accident, are you?"
"It's just that … the possibility is very high!" Guo Fengzhan analyzed. "Thirty-four years ago, someone might have wanted to harm Su Ruohua, but unexpectedly, Su Ruohua was too emotional and caused cardiogenic shock! So … "
"So," Zhao Yu continued, "the murderer thought she was dead, so he froze her? He didn't know that Su Ruohua was actually still alive when she was frozen!
"Are you kidding me?" Zhao Yu's eyes widened. "This script can win an Oscar, right? Oh no, it can win an Oscar for the Best Cliché. Lao Guo, is there such a coincidence? "
"Call me Lao Guo, don't give me random nicknames!" Guo Fengzhan said seriously. "Our task is only to explain the cause of death of the deceased. As for the specific investigation of the case, it's up to you!
"This is the most reasonable explanation we can think of …" Guo Fengzhan added. "Otherwise, the body has no signs of being in a coma, so when she was frozen, it's impossible that she didn't struggle!"
"Okay!" Zhao Yu said. "If this is the case, the murderer's original intention might not have been to kill Su Ruohua …"
"But," Guo Fengzhan said, "it must have been an ulterior motive. Otherwise, after Su Ruohua went into shock, he would have at least sent her to the hospital, instead of freezing her!"
"Yes!" Zhao Yu sighed. "Not only did he freeze her, but he also froze her for thirty-four years. If that's the case, the murderer must have had some special feelings for Su Ruohua, right?"
"You saw the body," Guo Fengzhan said. "She was frozen for thirty-four years, but still had an irresistible charm. From this, you can see how beautiful Su Ruohua was back then!"
"Mm …" Zhao Yu closed his eyes and thought deeply. "The murderer froze her because he wanted to see Su Ruohua every day?
"If that's the case, then it's not an ordinary obsession!
"It seems that it's very likely that someone familiar committed the crime!" Zhao Yu said. "Later, I have to talk to Su Ruohua's husband and everyone who knew Su Ruohua …"
