Gao Wu: I inherited the evil organization in the game

Chapter 692 Accident
Chang Erbing's eyes flickered slightly as he memorized this information.

He exchanged a few more perfunctory words with the man with the buzz cut, and then, despite the man's repeated attempts to dissuade him, insisted on hiring Jia Zhuang for the renovation.

30 minute later.

Chang Erbing and his group appeared in a mid-range apartment building and found the door to the room where Jia Zhuang was renting.

I knocked on the door for a long time, but there was no response from inside.

Chang Erbing waved his hand, and the burly constable behind him took a half step back and kicked hard near the door lock.

With a loud bang, the lock broke and the door swung open.

As soon as the door opened, a faint stench of decay wafted out from behind it.

Chang Erbing felt a chill run down his spine and immediately drew his gun in alertness, while ordering his men to go inside and investigate.

The apartment was relatively tidy, with no obvious signs of fighting or ransacking, and the items in the living room were even arranged too neatly.

The group held their breath and cautiously made their way towards the restroom, following the increasingly strong stench.

The bathroom door was ajar, and Chang Erbing gently pushed it open.

A middle-aged man, completely naked and overweight, was slumped in a large bathtub.

His head was tilted back, the back of his head submerged in a pool of blood that had turned dark red and black, the blood flowing down the edge of the bathtub onto the tiled floor.

A wet, slippery bar of soap lay on the floor next to the bathtub.

The showerhead was still running, continuously spraying water and washing over the ground, diluting the bloodstains.

At first glance, the scene looked like an accident—someone slipped on soap while taking a shower, hit the back of their head hard on the hard edge of the bathtub, and bled to death.

Chang Erbing's eyes widened: "Dead?! Or... an accident?"

Seven hours later, in the forensic morgue of the police station.

Bai Ye and Qin Liang, who had just completed the preliminary autopsy of an unidentified corpse without limbs, hadn't even had a chance to catch their breath when they heard the sound of wheels rolling behind them.

The two turned their heads and saw six more mortuary gurneys being pushed in one after another and neatly placed next to the cold mortuary platform.

All six bodies were covered with white shrouds.

The first corpse was Jia Zhuang's, while the other five were several of Jia Zhuang's construction workers.

Chang Erbing's preliminary investigation of several sites raised the following suspicions:

Jia Zhuang: He slipped in the bathroom and hit the back of his head, resulting in death (suspected).

Workers A, B, and C were found in their shared apartment with several bottles of "energizer" on the table, suggesting an overdose.

Worker D: He used his mobile phone while it was charging, and it is suspected that the phone leaked electricity, causing him to be electrocuted and die.

Worker E: After drinking alcohol, he vomited, and the vomit blocked his airway, causing him to suffocate and die.

how to say?

Each scene, viewed individually, seemed like an accidental death, yet in a short period of time, a project manager and all the construction workers under him died.

Even a ghost would know there's something fishy going on here.

However, police investigations require scientific evidence, so the final result still depends on the forensic autopsy report.

Qin Liang took the autopsy list, pulled back the white sheet one by one, and his pupils suddenly contracted.

It wasn't these few corpses that scared him; he had been performing autopsies for decades and had handled hundreds, if not thousands, of corpses. He had seen all sorts of deaths.

To put it bluntly, aside from the occasional "gifts" from good friends that were a bit unusual and made his seasoned heart race, most corpses were nothing more than "objects" to be used to complete work procedures, nothing special.

That's right...
Bai Ye followed behind him, glanced at the dissection room briefly, and then went forward to close the door tightly.

He turned his head to look at Qin Liang, who was standing there deep in thought, and asked in a low voice:
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with these corpses? Did you notice anything amiss?"

Qin Liang licked his dry lips, opened his mouth as if to say something, but swallowed the words back. In the end, he simply shook his head slowly and said:
"Nothing...nothing special. At first glance, the cause of death seems to point to an accident."

Bai Ye was taken aback upon hearing this, his expression becoming even more puzzled. He couldn't help but lower his voice to remind him:

"But...but the police station doesn't seem to be judging the direction that way, does they? They looked really grim when they brought the person over."

Qin Liang didn't say anything immediately, but silently walked to the sink and slowly washed his hands again, using the opportunity to organize his thoughts.

He couldn't very well tell Bai Ye that just these past two days, a prison guard from the Second Prison had subtly inquired about some forensic medicine knowledge from him.

At the time, adhering to the principle of friendly communication and common progress among colleagues, he provided a rather detailed and professional answer.

The details in the solution and the characteristics of the deaths of these six corpses are not only extremely similar, but practically identical!
Qin Liang's heart skipped a beat:
"This is putting what you've learned into practice! Learning on the spot, and the efficiency is so high!"

But the next second, he immediately spat in his mind a few times:

"Pah, pah, pah... Coincidence, it must be a coincidence! There are countless accidental deaths in the world, it's perfectly normal for a few cases to have similar characteristics!"

Although the person who asked him questions was not Feng Mu, the Second Prison had long since become a family without any blood ties under Feng Mu's "universal love".

Once you enter the second prison gate, you're one family!

A family should help each other, share resources, and make progress together!
Therefore, it would be ideal if certain "professional knowledge" could circulate among "family members" and be "effectively applied".

With this in mind, Qin Liang forced himself to focus back on the work at hand.

He took a deep breath, picked up the gleaming scalpel from the tray beside him, walked to Jia Zhuang's corpse, and, his tone regaining its usual calm, assigned tasks to Bai Ye:
"Stop standing there, get to work. You take care of those three bodies, I'll take care of these three. Hurry up and get the preliminary autopsy report ready. The report conclusion... just write it as accidental death?"

Bai Ye was still a little confused: "An accident?"

Qin Liang gave Bai Ye a meaningful look:

"Yes, it would be best if it were an accident!"

Bai Ye felt a chill run down his spine, and then, as if struck by a sudden inspiration, instantly understood.

I understand. My good friend handled this case too. I underestimated him after all.

He not only committed a major crime, but he was still committing crimes.

ask:
How long does it take to dissect three corpses and produce an autopsy report?
Qin Liang and Bai Ye's answer was 3 hours.

On average, one corpse is processed per hour.

Three hours later, Chang Erbing received six freshly completed autopsy reports.

The first one was Jia's.

Forensic autopsy report (No.: A-7812)

Name: Jia Zhuang

Sex: Male
Age: 37

Location of discovery: Bathroom in the home

Estimated time of death: within 24-36 hours.

External inspection:
The deceased was found lying supine on the bathroom floor, and was covered in dampness. Lividity was located on the back of the body in an uncompressed area, consistent with the position in which the body was found.

Apart from the fatal wound, no obvious signs of struggle, restraint, or resistance were observed on the body surface. There were no defensive injuries to the hands or feet.

Head injury:

There is a severe stellate laceration on the occipital region (back of the head), about 5 cm long, with obvious subcutaneous hematoma at the wound edge.

Tiny bone fragments were visible inside the wound, which extended into the cranial cavity. The shape of the wound closely matched the hard angle and curvature of the edge of the bathtub at the scene.

There were no injuries to the face or other parts of the body.

Cranium: A linear skull fracture was observed at the site of the scalp injury, extending to the skull base. Extensive subdural and subarachnoid hemorrhage was present, with severe brain contusion. Other: No abnormalities were found in the thoracic and abdominal organs, and no internal hemorrhage was observed.

Toxic and drug screening:

No common toxins, alcohol, or abused drugs were detected in the blood.

Based on the situation on site:

The bathroom floor was slippery, and a broken bar of soap was found near the deceased's feet. Bloodstains matching the deceased's blood and a small amount of tissue fragments were extracted from the rim of the bathtub.

Analysis and Explanation:

The deceased had no signs of struggle on his body, ruling out violence from others.

The head injury was caused by pure external force, and the injury characteristics were completely consistent with the formation mechanism of the back of the head hitting the edge of the bathtub after slipping and falling.

Intracranial hemorrhage and brain injury were the direct causes of death, and the resulting hemorrhagic shock accelerated the death process.

The scene environment (slippery ground, broken soap) and the form of damage form a complete chain of evidence.

in conclusion:

The deceased, Jia Zhuang, slipped and fell in the bathroom, causing the back of his head to hit the edge of the bathtub, resulting in severe traumatic brain injury and hemorrhagic shock, which led to his death.

Accidental death!

Chang Erbing frowned deeply after reading the conclusion in the last line:
"Accident?"

He frowned as he looked at the second report.

Forensic autopsy report (No.: B-7813)

Name: Li Moumou
Sex: Male
Age: 32

Location of discovery: Floor above the bed in the bedroom of one's own home.

Estimated time of death: within 24-36 hours.

External inspection:
The deceased was found curled up near a power outlet at the head of the bed. Lividity was present on the lower part of the body and did not fade upon pressure.

Characteristic electrical marks (current imprints) are visible on the tips of the index and middle fingers of the right hand. They are grayish-white, hard, circular lesions with a central depression, about 2 mm in diameter.

There were no burn marks on the surrounding skin. No other injuries or signs of struggle were observed on the body surface.

Locally: The subcutaneous tissue corresponding to the electrical spot shows coagulative necrosis.

Systemic: Scattered punctate hemorrhages are visible under the endocardium of the heart.

Toxic and drug screening:

No common toxins or alcohol were detected in the blood.

Based on the situation on site:

The deceased's phone was connected to a charger, which was still plugged into the wall socket.

Testing revealed that the charger had an internal short circuit and serious electrical leakage. The phone was found beside the deceased when he was discovered.

Analysis and Explanation:

The deceased had no signs of struggle on his body, ruling out external force as the cause of death.

Typical electrical marks on the fingers are direct evidence of electric shock injuries.

The changes in the heart and other organs observed during the internal examination were consistent with the pathological characteristics of death by electric shock.

The leaking charger found at the scene has a clear causal relationship with the damaged area.

It is speculated that when the deceased touched the phone or charging cable while it was charging, the current passed through his arm and heart, causing instantaneous ventricular fibrillation and respiratory muscle paralysis, leading to death.

in conclusion:

The deceased, Li, died from electrocution caused by using a faulty mobile phone charger.

The manner of death was accidental.

Chang Erbing carefully read the second report, his brows furrowing even more.

Frustrated, he scanned through the remaining autopsy reports, and unsurprisingly, all of them concluded with the same conclusion—accidental death!
Chang Erbing clenched the report tightly and suddenly stood up.

He pushed open the door to the dissection room, the door slamming against the wall with a dull thud. Qin Liang and Bai Ye, who were talking in hushed tones inside, were startled and turned around simultaneously.

Chang Erbing slammed the report in his hand on the table and asked:
"What on earth are you two doing? How could these all be accidental deaths?"

Qin Liang and Bai Ye exchanged a glance, and finally Bai Ye stepped forward to speak. After all, the police station was his home base, so he was more familiar with it.

Bai Ye explained earnestly:
“I know there’s a problem, but from the perspective of forensic pathology examination, we have indeed not found any definitive injuries on any of the deceased that could point to homicide.”

Therefore, based on the evidence we currently have, we can only tentatively conclude that the death was caused by an accident.

Chang Erbing almost laughed out of anger:

"How is that possible? How could there be such a coincidence that a renovation team's project manager, along with all the workers under him, died unexpectedly within roughly the same timeframe?"

You're telling me this was an 'accident'?

Bai Ye knew this wouldn't make sense, but he still forced himself to say:
"I don't know why there would be such a coincidence; it's beyond my area of ​​expertise."

All I can do is make the most compliant judgment based on what I see of the corpse and the test data.

If you have any doubts, you can certainly continue your investigation and look for other possible evidence.

Chang Erbing was stunned. He looked Bai Ye up and down as if he were meeting him for the first time.

When did Bai Ye become so... so insistent on "professional principles"?

Chang Erbing gave Bai Ye a deep look, his gaze seemingly trying to pierce through the other's disguise and see his true thoughts.

He glanced again at Qin Liang, who remained silent and simply wiped down the equipment, and his mind was filled with doubts.

He wanted to suspect the two men, but they had come to help out of friendship, and they were also involved with a mutual friend of his and Captain Li's.

There were some hurtful things he simply couldn't bring himself to say.

"Humph!"

Chang Erbing ultimately just let out a cold snort and stopped arguing.

"Forget it, let's just report this troublesome matter to Captain Li and let him think about it and make a judgment. Captain Li will definitely be able to figure it out!"

Chang Erbing couldn't figure it out, so he took the report and went to Emerald Garden to find Li Xiang.

At the same time, in a different place, another person held several interrogation statements in his hand, his mind also filled with a bunch of questions similar to those of Chang Erbing.

"Are you fucking sure this statement isn't a joke? I've never heard of anything so outrageous!"

As the man spoke, he quickly scanned the statement in his hand. When he saw certain passages, the corners of his mouth even twitched uncontrollably. His expression was as if he wanted to laugh, or as if he wanted to kill someone.

The subordinate's forehead was already covered in a fine layer of cold sweat, and the back of his shirt was soaked.

To be honest, he also thought this statement was utterly outrageous.

but……

This is the confession they obtained after repeated interrogations and even torture, and its authenticity should be beyond doubt.

Seeing his subordinate stammer and remain silent, the man laughed in fury, his voice carrying a chilling murderous intent:
"Alright, alright, it seems I'll have to do the interrogation myself..."
