In the empty and tidy corridor, two figures walked forward one after another.
At the end of the corridor, there is a metal automatic sliding door. Next to the sliding door is a young man sitting, leaning against the wall, yawning.
Seeing two people approaching, he immediately cheered up and stood up from his seat.
"Please show me your ID," he said seriously.
Lin Qiye took out the coat of arms and handed it to his hand. The latter looked at it carefully and said with some surprise:
"So you are the new night watchman, I'm sorry." He bowed slightly to Lin Qiye, returned the coat of arms with both hands, and at the same time looked at the person behind Lin Qiye with some surprise.
"Brother Lin, this is..."
"Oh, he is the expert I invited to take a look at the body." Lin Qiye put away the coat of arms and said calmly.
"Okay, I'll open the door for you right now."
The young man opened a small box next to the metal sliding door, entered a dozen digits of the password, and the metal sliding door opened, revealing the passage inside.
Wearing a shirt and a mask, An Qingyu followed Lin Qiye into it and said in surprise:
"Is the security here so loose? I thought you would have to search yourself, register your identity or something."
"This is just a morgue. There's no need to go to all that trouble. You don't even know if it exists at the core of the real secrets, let alone walk in so arrogantly." Lin Qiye replied.
In the end, he brought An Qingyu with him, not because of anything else, but because An Qingyu's ability to interpret corpses was definitely the best in Great Xia, and even the most powerful forensic doctor might not be able to match him.
With him here, maybe we can actually find some clues.
The two pushed the door open and entered the morgue. Compared to the police station's morgue, this place was significantly smaller. After all, only corpses related to mysterious events would be stored here, and such events would only happen in a year.
It won't happen a few times.
After showing his identification to the forensic doctor, the other party immediately gave Lin Qiye an autopsy report. At the same time, he responded to Lin Qiye's request and pushed Sun Xiao's body out of the cold storage.
Lin Qiye simply glanced at the autopsy report and focused on the corpse in front of him.
Judging from the report, this corpse is the same as the previous three. There is nothing special about it. If you really want to make a breakthrough, you still have to start with the corpse.
An Qingyu has completely entered the state, looking at the entire body with an attitude of absolute indifference and precision, with a faint gray light in his eyes.
After thoroughly viewing every inch of the body, he subconsciously reached into his pocket and took out a sharp scalpel...
Lin Qiye held down his hand and shook his head, "It can only be seen, not dissected."
An Qingyu nodded helplessly, looked down at the body, the lenses of his glasses reflected the pale light, and said in a deep voice:
"Generally speaking, it is the same as the previous three corpses. The fatal wound was on the chest, the fingers were cut off, and there are no other scars except the nail wounds."
He took the autopsy report from Lin Qiye's hand and continued: "There are active reactions in the fractures of the ten fingers, indicating that they were fingers that were severed while they were still alive. This is the same as the previous three corpses..."
"So, there is nothing abnormal?" Lin Qiye asked with some regret.
"Yes!" An Qingyu nodded heavily, "There is one thing about this corpse that is different from the previous three corpses!"
"where?"
"The direction of the broken fingers!" An Qingyu's eyes were extremely bright, "The direction of the broken fingers of the previous three corpses was from top to bottom."
An Qingyu pressed his body against the wall, with his left hand in the posture of being nailed to the wall, with his palm facing the wall and the back of his hand facing out.
At the same time, he made a knife-like shape with his right hand and lightly chopped on his fingers.
"Generally speaking, if the deceased is nailed to the wall like this, if you want to cut off his fingers, you can only cut from the back of the hand toward the palm of the hand, because the knife cannot be cut out from the wall. This is also the case before.
The direction in which the three corpses were severed.
But this corpse is different!"
He used his right hand to draw a horizontal line on the fingers of his left hand from bottom to top.
"His fingers were cut off from bottom to top! They were cut off from the palm to the back of the hand! But this kind of finger-cutting position is impossible with the posture of my palm now, so after he was cut off,
When pointing, it must be like this..."
An Qingyu turned his left hand over. It was also nailed to the wall, but with the palm facing outward and the back of the hand facing the wall.
Lin Qiye's eyes lit up, but then his brows furrowed again.
"But in the video, the position of the body was too far away and the light was blurry. We really couldn't see clearly the direction of his palms. Maybe he was really nailed like this?"
What can you tell from just the nailing method of one palm?"
"Of course we can't tell anything from this alone, but the problem is exactly here." An Qingyu walked to the corpse, pointed to the two wounds on the palm of the corpse, and continued,
"A nail is driven through the palm of the hand and driven through the back of the hand. Although the shape of the wound is similar, it is actually different. The wound on the hand of this corpse... was caused by the nail being driven from top to bottom."
An Qingyu used one finger to pretend to be a nail, passed it through the back of his other hand, and said seriously:
"That is to say...the direction in which the nail was driven in is opposite to the direction in which the finger was cut off! This means..."
"It means that his fingers were cut off first and then nailed to the wall." Lin Qiye narrowed his eyes slightly and continued what An Qingyu said.
An Qingyu nodded, "That's right."
"But the process shown in the video is not consistent with our reasoning." Lin Qiye frowned, "And after identification, this video has no traces of special effects processing. In other words, the scenes captured in the video did indeed happen.
."
"In this case, there is only one possibility left..." An Qingyu said slowly.
"The person who died in the video was not Sun Xiao!" Lin Qiye and An Qingyu said at the same time.
Due to the distance and light, the picture captured by the video recorder was not clear, and the face of the deceased could not even be seen clearly. In the final analysis, the reason why everyone judged that the deceased in the picture was Sun Xiao was because of the waiter's uniform!
Moreover, they did find Sun Xiao's crucified body on the wall the next day, which was exactly the same as in the picture.
No one has doubted the identity of the deceased in the videotape.
"That is to say, there was another person wearing Sun Xiao's clothes and was nailed to the wall by 'mystery'. But after the video recorder ran out of power, someone replaced the original one with Sun Xiao whose fingers had been cut off.
That person?" An Qingyu frowned tightly, "But...why is this?"
"Our reasoning still has a fatal problem!" Lin Qiye took a deep breath and continued,
"If we follow our reasoning and add them up, the people nailed to the wall should be two different people. However... from the blood stains at the scene, we only detected the DNA of Sun Xiao!
