As soon as he received Zi's notification, Sheyan immediately had a premonition that something big was about to happen.
Without saying a word, he rushed back to the basement where the autopsy was conducted. Even from a distance, he could smell an indescribable smell of blood in the air. At first, Sheyan thought that it was the normal smell of an autopsy, but as soon as he opened the door, he was stunned.
Mr. Smith, who came here for a private job for $100,000, fell to the ground in a daze. He covered his neck helplessly with his hand. Blood flowed out from a regular wound and slowly accumulated on the ground. The blood solidified, forming large blobs of bright red ochre.
It could be seen that Mr. Smith was not in much pain before he died. Instead, he was more shocked and unwilling. But no matter how unwilling he was, the shadow of death quickly shrouded his body, and his life quickly flowed out of his body.
"How can this be?"
Sheyan asked in a deep voice. But before he could answer, he saw something very strange.
In Zi's hand was a transparent test tube. Inside the test tube, there was a small drop of something indescribably strange crawling slowly.
The shape of the thing looked like a dewdrop, but it had a mercury-like texture. Its colour was silver-white, and it reflected a faint incandescent light. It gave off an indescribable futuristic sci-fi feel.
Logically speaking, this thing could not be classified as a living thing, but it was indeed wriggling slowly in the test tube without any external force. It crawled slowly like a snail towards the top of the test tube. This was a manifestation of defying gravity.
"This is the murderer," said Zi as she looked at the thing with a very strange expression.
"When Mr. Smith opened Mr. Nicholas's chest, he was surprised to find that Mr. Nicholas's heart was on the verge of being 'destroyed' under normal circumstances. Therefore, when he learned that Mr. Nicholas's death was caused by poison gas, he was very surprised. Therefore, he began to study Mr. Nicholas's heart."
Sheyan stared at the thing in the test tube and asked indifferently.
"So what are the results of his research?"
"He found a dead pacemaker in his heart. In fact, Mr. Smith stubbornly believed that the pacemaker had already passed its expiration date before it was implanted in Mr. Nicholas's body. The evidence was the production date on the pacemaker inscription. The pacemaker is more than 20 years old, probably a little older than Sanzi."
Brother Black puffed on his cigar.
Sheyan solemnly replied.
"A useless pacemaker gave Mr. Nicholas a new lease of life. This sounds like a fantasy story."
"In fact, Mr. Smith thought so too, so he began to study the mystery. After he took out the pacemaker, he used a scalpel to cut open the outer capsule. What happened next, I didn't see clearly. The whole room seemed to flash for a moment, as if lightning struck the moment the pacemaker was cut open.
Mr Smith was also shocked. He was stunned for a moment, and after confirming that there were no other problems, he continued to cut. Then, the tragedy happened. "
Brother Black sighed and replied.
"I saw something suddenly pour out from the pacemaker.... I don't know how to describe it. It was thick like cream of mushroom soup, but like water condensing into ice, it formed a small silver knife in the air and stabbed into his throat!!!"
"Then, the small knife dissolved and turned into the water droplet you see now. It wriggled on the table, trying to escape like a snail. Zi covered it with the test tube. That was the cause, process, and result of the accident."
Sheyan looked at the wriggling thing in the test tube again, then looked at the blood-stained pacemaker that had been dissected.
He said seriously, "We have three things to do now."
"First, before the news of Mr. Smith's death spreads, we have to invite a forensic doctor to examine Mr. Nicholas."
"Second, we have to find an expert in the field of pacemakers to see what's so unusual about this thing."
"Thirdly, under the condition of ensuring your own safety, you must ensure that the ferocious little brat inside the test tube cannot escape. Therefore, I suggest Reef take over the test tube."
*****
Soon, Sheyan's request was met. Another forensic doctor came forward to earn some extra money under the temptation of money. Meanwhile, in a company called Imio Advanced Medical Equipment, a technical director named Tom received Sheyan. He took the pacemaker and asked doubtfully, "What's wrong with this pacemaker?
"This is an old model that was produced a long time ago. I remember that at that time, its application was quite limited. It was mainly used for patients with severe coronary heart disease …. Eh? What's this? "
Mr. Tom's fingers parted the plastic that had been cut open. There was a look of surprise in his eyes.
"Look here. Such dense coils, such a strange parallel structure, and such a closed cavity. What a strange modification method and idea."
Sheyan immediately asked with concern.
"You mean it's been modified?"
Tom said with certainty.
"Of course. I can vouch for it with my 40 years of experience in the industry. But I can't see any positive use of this modification other than increasing the weight."
Sheyan naturally could not tell Tom that there was a strange silver droplet-shaped... monster locked inside the test tube. Based on all the information he had so far, the monster most closely resembled a slime. He thanked Sheyan politely and said goodbye. At this time, news came from the autopsy department. No new valuable clues were found. "
So far, Sheyan had not found any suspicious clues from the bag of clothes that were brought to the prison.
That was to say, out of the three clues he had obtained before, two of them were broken.
The only gain was the "slime" in the test tube.
When Sheyan returned, another unfortunate news came. The "slime" in the test tube had stopped crawling and started rolling under the influence of gravity. It looked like it had died. It had completely turned into something similar to a drop of mercury.
But at this moment, his phone rang.
Logically speaking, under normal circumstances, contestants wouldn't use native communication devices in this world. Even satellites were frequently controlled by contestants, monitoring phone calls was a piece of cake. However, the phone that Sheyan had allocated wasn't for party use, but was used to communicate with the workshop supervisor. Originally, he planned to discard it after using it, hence there wasn't much of a taboo to use it.
"Hello?" Sheyan picked up the phone, but what came out of the phone was an unfamiliar high-pitched female voice.
"I heard that you're inquiring about the operation from a few years ago? And you're very generous? "
Sheyan's heart skipped a beat.
"Who are you?"
The sharp voice on the other end of the phone answered.
"Although that old guy Didi has gone to Canada and died, the people who know the details of the operation are not all dead. Except for the lucky guy who's already in prison, the only one who knows about it is me."
Sheyan's heart skipped a beat, but he continued without batting an eyelid.
"Who are you?"
The sharp voice answered.
"I'm the nurse next to Dr. Didi. To put it bluntly, that old guy took advantage of me and helped me get the job in the hospital. During that period of time, this old thing was very infatuated with me, so I even know his bank card password. Unfortunately, the bank card was always with his wife. Well, I don't want to talk nonsense with you. I heard that you are quite generous. You asked Katrina a few words and gave her 3,000 USD. Then, if I can tell you all the story behind this, how much can I get? "
Of course, Sheyan could hear the naked desire in the woman's words. Of course, there was also the intention of asking for an exorbitant price. It was obvious that if he agreed, she would ask for a price that would be enough to buy LeBron James into the CBA.
Nevertheless, Sheyan was experienced in dealing with such people. His lips curled into a smirk, but his tone turned dull and official.
"Ma 'am, it's a pity that our investigation work has been completed. We already have a total of five detailed and verifiable witness statements. Our superiors can't find any problems with them."
The sharp voice on the other side obviously did not expect such an answer. Her burning heart was suddenly doused with cold water. She could not help but scream.
"How is that possible … .do you know what you're missing out on? A miracle in the history of medicine! "
Sheyan's answer was very straightforward.
"Oh, ma 'am, so far, my heart is very healthy. More importantly, I think it's a miracle that I can be promoted tomorrow. How about this, it's not a bad thing to make the investigation report more detailed. We still have 9,000 USD left in the case. If we don't spend this money, we have to turn it over. If you're willing to give me 1,000 USD from this amount, then 15 minutes later, let's have afternoon tea at the coffee shop in front of the 8th Community Hospital. I think the latte there tastes good. To show my sincerity, I'll pay for the afternoon tea. "
"You cunning and stingy devil!! I want their signature Welsh milk tea, and baked apple pie, natural strawberry cream, chicken salad sandwich, Welsh apple pie …. "
"Forgive me, ma 'am, are you reciting the coffee shop's menu?" If you like this work, you're welcome to come to qidian.com to vote. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
