Chapter 57: You continue. I won't interrupt your thoughts.
"Follow the car in front. I'm checking the license plate number now. Be careful not to get discovered."
As he spoke, Xu Dayuan began to search on the police communication network.
However, the car in front kept changing lanes and did not slow down at the intersection . Zhou Ning glanced at the speedometer in front of Zhao Xinli. They were both over 60, so the car in front must be going faster. Zhou Ning turned around and said:
"Master Xu, ask Master Chen to find someone to stop him. He's speeding, exceeding 60 miles per hour through the intersection."
Xu Dayuan grinned and dialed Captain Chen's number directly.
" Chen Yuhu , quickly ask the people at the intersection of Zhenjiang Road and Dunhua Road to stop a Toyota Prado for me. The license plate number ends with 388. Hurry up and he is speeding. Check all his documents and issue a ticket to delay him for a while."
After saying that, the phone was hung up with a click, and Zhou Ning rubbed his nose.
In comparison, Xu Dayuan was quite polite to me. After all, he had never hung up the phone like this before. They always had discussions.
At this time, the car was still moving forward, but when they heard the sirens at the intersection, Xu Dayuan's cell phone rang. He answered it directly on hands-free mode. They also saw that the Toyota Prado was stopped.
"Mr. Xu, I'll take your place. I'll ask him to use the intercom to handle speeding and read the man's vehicle information. You can listen to it yourself."
"Thank you!"
"Don't be so cautious. Listen carefully. I'm turning the volume up to the maximum."
At this time, there was a crackling sound from the other end of the phone, followed by a voice from the intercom.
"Take out your driver's license. I don't know that you can't exceed 60 miles per hour through the intersection. Are you trying to fly or something? You didn't even count how fast you were just now?"
"I'm sorry, I'm a doctor in the Department of Orthopedics at the First Affiliated Hospital. I had an emergency surgery this morning and the patient couldn't wait, so I couldn't keep up. You can give me a ticket if you want, but let's hurry up."
Zhou Ning paused. The First Affiliated Hospital?
This is a branch of the First Affiliated Hospital of Ludong Medical College in the province. Construction began two years before the county was abolished and the district was divided. Many of the doctors in it were re-employed by local people in Qindao, or were pieced together from various hospitals. The hardware is good, but the medical capacity is not as good as the Eighth Hospital. It just has a nice name, but there are only a few patients a day, and even fewer people go there for surgery.
This excuse is really an excuse. Judging from the level of proficiency with which he spoke, it is obviously not the first time he has said this.
There was still a voice coming from the intercom.
"Shen Weijie, right? Don't worry, I'll check the information. The person registered on the driving license is Sun Ailing. What is your relationship with Sun Ailing?"
"Sun Ailing is my wife."
"Okay, the ticket is issued. Even if you are in a hurry, you still have to pay attention to safety. If something happens, whether you save others or save yourself, the gain will outweigh the loss, you know."
Chen Yuhu's voice sounded from the other end of the phone.
"Okay, you heard me, be more polite to me next time, don't..."
"Thank you!"
Xu Dayuan didn't listen to Chen Yuhu's nagging and hung up the phone directly, holding up the police communication card with his eyebrows twisted together.
"Shen Guanlin's daughter-in-law is called Sun Ailing, and this Shen Weijie is his son."
"Boss, should we follow Shen Weijie or go back to the Eighth Hospital?"
Xu Dayuan waved his hand.
"No rush, just find out who it is and don't alert the enemy. Shen Guanlin's time has been verified and there is no problem. Let's go to the Eighth Hospital first. Doctor Xiao Zhou wants a second autopsy, and the body is ready over there."
Zhao Xinli didn't waste any time. He turned the steering wheel and headed towards the Eighth Hospital.
We walked in silence until we reached the autopsy room.
Old man Cui had already sent the body to the autopsy room. Zhou Ning greeted Old man Cui and then took the two of them in. With Xu Dayuan there, Zhao Xinli didn't dare to stay behind.
Zhou Ning opened his backpack and took out something wrapped in white foam. Zhao Xinli helped him get the scissors and asked as he opened it:
"What did you bring here?"
"I asked a classmate to buy it in Yiwu. It's a magnifying glass with an LED light. I was afraid that Xu Da wouldn't reimburse me, so I found a cheaper one."
Xu Dayuan rubbed his nose.
"How much?"
"More than four hundred."
As he finished dismantling the foam, Zhou Ning assembled the LED magnifying glass lamp. It had a pulley at the bottom that could adjust the height, and on top was a magnifying glass about the size of a plate and a circle of LED lights.
Zhao Xinli grinned and nudged Xu Dayuan with his shoulder.
"Boss, Xiao Jian Doctor Zhou wants you to pay me. We are in such a poor condition. It is really difficult for Xiao Jian Doctor Zhou. Please pay me!"
Xu Dayuan rolled his eyes.
"You're the only one who talks too much. When I said I wouldn't reimburse you, just give the bill to Sister Feng and she'll take care of it. Next time, tell me in advance if you need anything. People with smaller amounts can squeeze out of the queue."
"Boss, have you also signed up for my book?"
"Get lost, don't bother Xiao Zhou, forensic doctor, give me a set of clothes or something."
Zhao Xinli was not hit at all, and was not unhappy about being scolded. He hurriedly prepared a set of equipment for Xu Dayuan, and put it on himself. Then he moved closer with the camera. There were more people in the autopsy room, and he was less afraid, after all, this man had already been dissected once.
Zhou Ning did not rush to take action. He moved the LED magnifying glass light above the deceased's head, and then waved at Zhao Xinli.
"Help me turn the deceased over. I don't think the head was searched carefully enough during the last autopsy."
The two of them followed and worked together to turn the corpse over to a prone position on the dissection table.
The deceased's back was covered with corpse spots, with the darkest color on the buttocks and shoulders. Except for the outside of the feet, no signs of subcutaneous injury were found. After using the LED magnifying glass light to observe the area, nothing new was found.
Zhou Ning exhaled, returned to the victim's head, parted the victim's hair, and revealed the wound on the occipital area near the neck. It seemed that the wound had been frozen, so it did not look as bloody as before, and part of the surrounding hair had been shaved off by Zhou Ning.
You can see a C-shaped wound in the middle, and the broken bones inside the wound are also very obvious. The bone is fractured at this location and broken into this shape, so subarachnoid hemorrhage is inevitable.
However, upon closer inspection, the wound was severely turned outward and there were clotted blood around it. This situation indicated that the deceased was thrown into the reservoir a long time after being injured.
What did the murderer do during this time?
Putting this idea aside, Zhou Ning wanted to perform a skull surgery for the second autopsy. After all, X-rays can only reveal limited information, and sometimes only the most intuitive observation can reveal problems. Although he was very reluctant about this, he had no choice now.
He pushed aside the hair and cut through the skin behind one ear, passing through the top of the skull and reaching the outside of the other ear. His movements were so fast that before the two men could react, Zhou Ning pulled their scalps upwards to expose their skulls.
Zhao Xinli turned and ran outside, followed by a sound of retching. Xu Dayuan shivered twice and looked at Zhou Ning.
"You didn't give me this little bit of precaution. Not to mention Da Zhao, I'm scared when I see this."
Zhou Ning smiled.
"Da Zhao is not suitable for training slowly. Once he has seen the most shameless ones, it will not be so difficult to accept the rest. In fact, being a trace examiner means being calm and meticulous. He will be fine after a few autopsies."
Xu Dayuan nodded, agreeing very much with Zhou Ning's words.
"That makes sense. Just continue without interrupting your train of thought."
Zhou Ning did not stop his movements and lifted up his scalp, revealing the entire skull. He could see the fractured bone, which had completely collapsed, with a round edge and a lot of broken bones in the middle. Zhou Ning picked out the broken bones and pieced them together. Combined with the remaining parts, it was a fairly complete C with serrated marks on the edges.
Zhou Ning raised his head and looked towards the door.
"Has Da Zhao finished vomiting?"
As he was speaking, Zhao Xinli came back with a pale face.
"What's wrong?"
"Did you bring the 32mm ratchet wrench I asked you to find?"
Zhao Xinli nodded, ran to the backpack and took out a wrench. Zhou Ning took it and compared it with the wound. They were a perfect match.
"The murder weapon was this wrench. However, the fact that it caused a completely collapsed fracture shows that the murderer hit very hard and from top to bottom, using both hands to cause the damage. Otherwise, the skull would not have such a complete C-shaped fracture."
As he spoke, Zhou Ning tore off a layer of gloves, walked to his backpack, and took out three marble slabs the size of a finger-thick book. They were the leftover scraps used for window sill decoration, which Zhou Ning found in the community last night.
He handed the marble slab directly to Xu Dayuan, and then handed the wrench to Zhao Xinli.
The two were stunned. Such an abrupt action was a little puzzling, and they all looked up at Zhou Ning.
"What is this for?"
