Chapter 487: The Organs Vanished Without a Trace

While Chen Fan and the others were examining the scene,

Li Tian also took his own subordinates and made house calls to some of the nearby households.

Everyone said they had never seen this corpse, and certainly had not seen any strange people.

The surveillance cameras in this area were poorly placed.

So the information they could obtain was very limited.

Over here.

Old Song said, "From a preliminary look, the deceased may have died from excessive blood loss."

"But the specifics will have to wait until we get back and perform an autopsy."

After saying that.

Old Liu called over a group of people to package the corpse and take it back.

As for the on-site examination, it was handed off to the other interns.

Xiang Qinqin was also left behind.

Because she was meticulous, she might be able to find things ordinary people could not.

Back in the autopsy room.

Old Liu handed all the scalpels he had taken out to Chen Fan: "Alright, you do it."

Chen Fan tossed the scalpel aside: "Why is it me again? Can't we switch to someone else?"

He was already a senior forensic doctor now, and he even had an apprentice; surely it was time to let someone else do the autopsy.

Even if he did step in, it should be for some high-difficulty autopsy.

The audience burst into laughter.

"Killing me — has Chen Fan learned to slack off now? Wasn't he dying to show off before?"

"Before I just wanted to beg Chen Fan to stop showing off, but now I just want to beg him to hurry up and show off — I want to see if Chen Fan can still break his own limits."

"Honestly, after watching so many cases, I kind of want to try an autopsy too."

"To the person above, 'try it and you'll die' — please, please don't try."

……

Old Liu sighed, picked up a scalpel, and prepared to take the stage himself.

Meanwhile, under Chen Fan's guidance, Liu Mengyan was performing an autopsy on the other half of the corpse.

An on-site examination is only preliminary.

But once in the autopsy room, deeper secrets must be uncovered.

Liu Mengyan soon noticed a few things.

"There are ligature bruises at the ankle, covering a large area, and the wound is peeled upward from the bottom — I suspect the deceased was hung upside down while still alive々〃."

After saying this.

Chen Fan has already picked up a scalpel, apparently feeling the brain-tumor autopsy was a bit slow.

Two quick strokes — swish, swish.

He skinned and defleshed the lower half at the knee, exposing it.

The entire process flowed like water.

Even the audience, who had watched Chen Fan perform autopsies many times, couldn't help but cheer.

Liu Mengyan's eyes went wide, watching Chen Fan's movements with utter admiration.

After Chen Fan cut open the knee, he didn't continue, but urged Liu Mengyan instead: "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and do the autopsy."

Liu Mengyan gave a silly little "oh," and took a careful look.

"The knee is fractured, and there are many shallow knife wounds on the thigh — mostly scratches and bruises inflicted by a person."

"I infer the deceased was subjected to abuse while still alive."

Chen Fan had foreseen this result long ago.

He didn't say it out loud, wanting only to leave his apprentice some room to shine.

Liu Mengyan seemed to know this too.

After all, if Chen Fan hadn't cut open the knee, she wouldn't have been able to see the fracture there either.

"There's a large wound on the inner side of the left thigh, three centimeters in diameter."

With that, the examination of the lower half of the corpse had covered everything on the surface.

Chen Fan asked, "Is there anything you want to say?"

Liu Mengyan thought for a moment, then continued: "There are many bruises on the surface of the corpse, and the compressed areas of the bruises have undergone parchment-like transformation."

"So the corpse must have been refrigerated for some period of time."

The so-called parchment-like transformation actually refers to the fact that, after the human body dehydrates, because water cannot be replenished in time,

moisture will quickly evaporate and dissipate from the thin parts of the body, where the epidermis has peeled away.

Those local areas become dry, taking on a waxy yellow, yellowish-brown, or dark-brown texture, hardening into dry patches.

In a living person's daily life, even without timely water replenishment, the body will mobilize blood circulation to supply moisture.

In forensic autopsy, in order to make the marks on the corpse more obvious, the corpse is also refrigerated.
