"All right, I noticed that just now too, but to proceed with the autopsy, I need to use our He family's ultimate technique, the Alkaline Water Body Scrub."
"Alkaline Water Body Scrub??" This time, even Xie Chuchu was a little surprised.
Because even she had never seen me use this technique before.
Although there were many people at the scene, they were all being questioned by our officers.
Coupled with our Punishment Crimes team and the Criminal Investigation team keeping guard nearby, no one would sneak a peek at what was happening here.
When Xia Hou returned, I first thanked him for the item, then pried out the meat of the scallop. Of course, this process still required the help of Zhang Keying and Xie Chuchu. Additionally, I had Xia Hou and some forensic doctors heat the two pounds of alkaline water for me using an alcohol lamp. Finally, I coated a silver needle with some specially prepared medicinal solution. Then came the white onions, sliced, of course. This dish was probably ready with all the ingredients, just waiting to be "cooked"!
I planned to have Xia Hou help with this meal. He had Xiao Yuande help prop up the male corpse. Then we found a wall, leaned the male corpse against it, and tied him up with ropes. Once positioned, I picked up the silver needles and inserted them into the male corpse's forehead, face, chest, and abdomen. These silver needles were originally very ordinary, but after being coated with our He family's special medicinal solution, their effect was different. The medicinal liquid from the needles slowly flowed into the deceased's nerves, then through the nerves, slowly seeping into the blood vessels. Subsequently, these medicinal liquids would relax the deceased's body, making it easier to reveal any traces on the body.
Even though there was no blood on this corpse now, I had still prepared some things myself, which was the alkaline water.
I used a syringe to inject the alkaline water into the deceased's body as if it were medicinal liquid. After the corpse was filled with some of the liquid, his blood vessels bulged. Everyone present was stunned, not knowing why. At this moment, someone suddenly said, "Team Leader, are you inflating the deceased?"
"Ming Qiang, what are you talking about?"
I originally thought it was Gao Mingqiang and looked around. Discovering he wasn't here, everyone looked at me sadly.
Perhaps I wasn't accustomed to his absence.
I sighed and continued to inject the medicinal liquid into the deceased until the entire syringe of alkaline water was administered.
Then I took out the bamboo leaf extractor. Besides being used for poison detection, this tool also had another function: to shave white onions with its fan-shaped leaf. Although the white onions were almost shaved earlier, I didn't need to use all of them. I cut off their tips and placed them on the deceased's skin. Combined with the water, which had been moistened by the scallops, poured onto the deceased's body, the body washing process was completed.
The procedure was done, but seeing no change in the corpse, Xie Chuchu asked doubtfully, "Senior, why isn't it having any effect?"
"He Sheng ge? Did it fail this time?" Even Zhang Keying was very confused.
Although Liu Yuning couldn't speak, she looked at me with determination.
Everyone else was filled with confusion, and even some police officers looked at me with disdain.
I remained silent. Xie Chuchu then said awkwardly, "Senior, everyone makes mistakes. Don't worry, we don't mind."
"Right, He Sheng ge, let's go back and use the forensic methods to examine the corpse!"
The two bickered, showing distrust and suspicion. Even so, I didn't retort, letting facts speak for themselves!
About two minutes later, the deceased's body began to tremble violently.
I quickly took out the autopsy brush, a brush made of wolf's hair, and rubbed it vigorously back and forth on the deceased's body, from the forehead to the abdomen, and then to the limbs, completing the final step of body scrubbing.
In fact, this Alkaline Water Body Scrub technique combined the effects of Song Ci's corpse-reviving technique. However, I didn't let the corpse rise this time, fearing it would scare these people present. I only intended to use it to relax the deceased's blood vessels and muscles.
Indeed, one second later, shortly after the body scrubbing was finished, the deceased's mouth gurgled and vomited a large amount of alkaline water. Along with the alkaline water, a piece of fingernail was successfully brought out!
I quickly used tweezers to pick up the fingernail and compared it with the deceased's fingernails, finding that it did not belong to him.
Although the fingernail had been soaked in stomach acid, with current technology, fingerprints and DNA could still be recovered.
After placing the fingernail in the evidence bag, I said, "The Alkaline Water Body Scrub is actually an autopsy technique invented by our ancestors, but it's not recorded in official history. That's why I used to lament that the world only knows of Song Ci, the official of the Song Dynasty, but not our He family ancestor, He Shenlong. Our He family has been overlooked. This technique can cause certain substances hidden within the deceased's body to be vomited out through the mouth, just like what happened to the deceased just now!"
"That's amazing. If we had to perform an autopsy, it would take a lot more time, and we might not find it!" Xia Hou said.
"More importantly, the deceased's entire body has now regained vitality, making dissection much easier."
"Right! Senior, I was too quick to judge. I'm sorry."
"It's all right. Many things seem impossible until you witness them. People are always like this."
"Are you calling me ignorant, Senior?"
"Not at all. Your reaction is within the normal range. All right, let's not delay. Body transporters, come over. Xia Hou, Xiao Yuande..."
"Here!"
"You two, investigate Coach Huang's interpersonal relationships. The surveillance here..."
"Received!"
This was a task they should have been doing long ago, and I had to remind them. After they left, I had people pack up and return with me. We investigated everyone at the scene and found no suspects. It was likely the murderer was no longer here.
Back at the provincial forensic laboratory, we dissected the corpse and weighed the organs, but found nothing special. However, I had already expected this result, as I had pretty much completed the on-site examination of the corpse earlier.
I assigned Xie Chuchu and Zhang Keying to complete the finishing work. After supervising them briefly, I went to the information department. He Xin told me that Coach Huang seemed to have a messy private life. Even with her casual investigation, she found that he had inappropriate relationships with several female equestrian students: "Dad, look, these are their intimate photos, and here are the hotel records. They were all found on Coach Huang's phone. Also, here's his wallet and ID card, and things like that."
