Li Rui looked at the siblings with a smile on his face and felt a little warm in his heart. At this moment, the phone in his trouser pocket suddenly rang. He quickly took it out and saw that it was the medical examiner surnamed Liu. He guessed that he had already arrived at the entrance of the hotel. He hurriedly said to the siblings, "You two rest first, I'm going to meet a friend." After saying that, he hurriedly walked out of the room and answered the phone at the same time.
Two minutes later, Li Rui met Dr. Liu at the hotel entrance. He was in his forties, had a crew cut, and his hair was already gray. He wore a pair of glasses, looked ordinary, and wore casual clothes. When he stood on the sidewalk, he was no different from an ordinary person. Who would know that he was one of the best forensic doctors in the Municipal Public Security Bureau?
Li Rui shook hands with him and made some small talk before introducing himself. Dr. Liu's name was Liu Rui. His name was also a single word and sounded the same as Li Rui's. Both of them were surprised by this, but they quickly got to know each other because of fate. Liu Rui was currently the deputy director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau's Forensic Identification Center. He was the best forensic doctor. Otherwise, Zhou Yuansong wouldn't have recommended him to Li Rui.
After they got to know each other, Li Rui asked Liu Rui to wait for a moment. He walked to the side and called Dong Jieyu. He wanted to borrow her office for a while. How could Dong Jieyu refuse? She didn't even ask why he wanted to borrow her office. She agreed immediately.
After hanging up the phone, Li Rui led Liu Rui into the hotel. They walked through the lobby and turned into the corridor. Soon, they arrived at the general manager's office. Li Rui pushed the door open and entered. There was no one in the room. Dong Jieyu had already left.
Li Rui invited Liu Rui to take a seat and made him tea. After he was done with the hospitality, he started to talk about business. "Director Liu, I need your help. I have an older brother who is almost ninety years old. He was diagnosed with late-stage lung cancer last week. Both Chinese and Western medicine confirmed that he could live for at least another six months. However, he suddenly passed away at around two o 'clock in the morning yesterday. Afterwards, his personal doctor said that he was unable to breathe due to the late stage of lung cancer. He slowly died of lack of oxygen in his sleep, but I felt that his death was a bit strange. Although he has late-stage lung cancer, his respiratory function is normal. Other than the occasional cough, there are no symptoms of respiratory weakness or difficulty in breathing. "
Liu Rui frowned when he heard that and said, "Oh? Go on. "
Li Rui said, "My eldest brother is a millionaire. His family is very rich. Perhaps he was worried that the distribution of the inheritance would cause conflicts in the family, so he has always been on guard against his children and grandchildren. Even when he was diagnosed with lung cancer, he did not inform his children and grandchildren immediately. Instead, he secretly made a will and only informed them after he finished. His three sons also arrived at Qinyang yesterday afternoon. As soon as they arrived, my eldest brother passed away suddenly without any sign. I think it's too much of a coincidence. "
Liu Rui said, "You suspect that his sons killed him in order to fight for his inheritance?"
Li Rui said, "I think it's possible, but I don't dare to think about it. Why? Because my eldest brother had already made a will. Logically speaking, since the inheritance has already been distributed, there is no need for his sons to fight for it, right? If that's the case, there is no need for them to kill my eldest brother. "
Liu Rui thought for a while and said, "Then is there a possibility that one of the sons was angry because the inheritance was too little, so he killed the old man?"
Li Rui's eyes lit up when he heard that. He exclaimed, "Yes, why didn't I think of that? It's very likely. Oh, you are indeed the chief medical examiner of the Municipal Public Security Bureau. You are knowledgeable and experienced. Your words have enlightened me. Director Liu, I really admire you! "
Liu Rui smiled and waved his hand. "Director Li, don't flatter me. I just said it casually. I might not be able to prove it. Let's continue."
Li Rui nodded and said, "Okay, no matter who killed my eldest brother, we can't find out before we get solid evidence. Even my conspiracy theory is probably just a figment of my imagination. So, I want to get some evidence to prove that my eldest brother was murdered. "
Liu Rui asked, "What kind of evidence?"
Li Rui said, "Although I don't know much about criminal investigation, I've watched a lot of TV dramas and novels about this. I know that the crime scene can't be entered by outsiders to avoid being destroyed. However, countless people have entered my brother's bedroom when he was alive. The crime scene has been destroyed, so it's very likely that there won't be any evidence left behind by the criminal. At present, I think we can only find clues from my eldest brother's body. So, I asked Director Zhou to recommend you. I want to ask, as a medical examiner, can you find anything on the body? "
Liu Rui narrowed his eyes and said, "Assuming that your eldest brother was really murdered, there are only two ways. In layman's terms, one is internal force, and the other is external force. Let's not talk about internal force. Let's talk about external force. External force is the criminal's use of force … "
Li Rui waved his hand and said, "There's no need to analyze external force. My eldest brother was not murdered by external force. He died peacefully and peacefully. It is consistent with the way he died in his sleep. Also, there was a housekeeper guarding outside his bedroom. It is impossible for an outsider to enter and kill him. There was also no abnormal movement that night."
Liu Rui smiled. Li Rui immediately realized that he had said something wrong and was being laughed at. He quickly asked, "What did I say wrong?"
Liu Rui shook his head and said, "No, I just thought of a very popular game now, Murder in a Locked-Room. I feel that your eldest brother's situation is similar to that. Sorry, I digressed. I will continue my analysis. You said to exclude external force, so we will only analyze internal force. Internal force is much simpler. It is the use of drugs from the inside of the victim's body to kill him. For example, poison, or medical drugs that restrict the normal functions of the human body. As long as these drugs enter the body, they will definitely leave traces. Using autopsy methods, we can find out … "
Li Rui raised his hand and said, "That's the difficult part. You can't do an autopsy. At most, you can only touch my eldest brother's body and observe the surface of his body."
Liu Rui's face turned bitter and said, "Can't do an autopsy? Then … then it is very likely that we won't find anything. "
Li Rui sighed bitterly and said, "I can't do anything. Because right now, I only suspect that my eldest brother was murdered. I haven't told this to his sons. Also, I can't tell them. What if one of them is the murderer? Wouldn't I alert the enemy? If they don't know, I can't get their permission and can't let you dissect my eldest brother's body. You can only look for evidence on the surface of the body. Of course, once you find the evidence, I can use it to persuade his sons to accept the autopsy. Even if one of them is the murderer and will come forward to stop you, it is impossible for all three sons to be the murderer. Most of them will still support you. Also, if any of them oppose you, they will give the game away and we can find the murderer faster. "
Liu Rui smiled bitterly and said after a while, "Tell me the details of your eldest brother's room and the time of his dinner, sleep, and death."
Li Rui told him the layout of room 202 and its occupants. He said, "My eldest brother usually eats around six o 'clock and sleeps around nine o' clock. The time of his death is around half past two o 'clock. When he was found, his body was still warm."
Liu Rui frowned and thought for a long time without saying anything. Li Rui looked at him anxiously, hoping that he wouldn't say anything that wouldn't be of help.
After two or three minutes, Liu Rui said with a solemn expression, "Let's assume that your eldest brother was killed by drugs. Then, let's assume that no one entered his room from the time he fell asleep to the time of his death. Then, based on my many years of experience in the field of forensic medicine, there is no external drug, such as poisonous smoke, poisonous fog, or chemical poison, that can suddenly explode after five hours and poison a person to death. "In addition, these external drugs can easily leave traces and kill people outside the room. I believe that the murderer will not use them. Therefore, we can basically infer that the murderer used oral drugs. "
Li Rui was a little excited when he heard that. He said, "Director Liu, continue to deduce."
Liu Rui nodded and continued, "It's very likely that the murderer put the drugs in your brother's dinner or in the water he drank before he fell asleep. After he fell asleep, the drugs began to take effect and restricted his respiratory system, causing him to be unable to breathe and eventually die of shock. "However, if it was only limited to his breathing, he would have felt that he couldn't breathe properly in his sleep. He would have woken up and struggled, making movements that would have disturbed the housekeeper who was sleeping outside. This doesn't match the reality of the situation. Therefore, I think that the murderer also mixed in the drugs to make your brother enter a state of deep sleep, close to a state of general anesthesia. The two drugs worked together and took your brother's life in the end. "
Li Rui was shocked, angry, hateful, and sad. He cursed angrily, "The murderer is f * cking inhumane! If we can catch him, we must let him have a taste of death. " Liu Rui hurriedly said, "Director Li, don't be agitated. I'm just deducing and analyzing. However, deducing can help us clarify our thoughts and grasp the key to the case faster and better." Li Rui asked, "If it's really as you said, that my brother was drugged, can we find out without an autopsy?"
