I traverse America, using holy light to quell American terror!

As an old man who has spent his entire life performing autopsies,

Tommy was quite knowledgeable; he had seen all sorts of corpses.

The gruesome state of the woman's corpse involuntarily reminded him of a tragic incident he had encountered many years ago.

"The human trafficking ring kidnapped two girls."

Tommy drew a diagram on the blackboard for his son as he spoke:

"Their hands and feet were tightly bound at the time to prevent them from escaping."

Their tongues were also cruelly cut off to prevent them from making a sound.

As Austin pasted the photos, he asked in confusion:

"Do you think this body is related to human trafficking?"

Tommy sighed and slowly lowered his hand:

"That possibility cannot be ruled out."

As he spoke, he stood there, seemingly lost in memories.

Austin saw that his father was lost in his memories, so he did not interrupt him.

Instead, he picked up his camera and continued his work.

He planned to take two close-up photos of the woman's mouth.

But at that moment,

The woman's nose suddenly twitched slightly, as if something was about to come out.

Austin curiously moved the camera away and slowly approached the corpse.

The next second, a streak of bright red blood slowly flowed from the corpse's nasal cavity.

Just as Austin was puzzled,

A huge fly crawled out of the corpse's nasal cavity!

"Depend on!"

Austin frowned, shooed away the flies with a hint of annoyance, and continued taking pictures of the corpse.

Tommy, having composed himself, also came over.

He picked up a pair of tweezers and continued examining the woman's mouth.

"She's missing a molar on her lower left side; go get some dental impressions."

After sending Austin to fetch the item, Tommy continued examining the patient's mouth.

He quickly removed a thread from the woman's mouth.

When conducting an autopsy in a murder case, everything found on the body is extremely important.

Especially unexpected items.

Seeing this, Austin took the evidence bag and tucked the thread from his father's tweezers inside.

I plan to hand them over to the sheriff tomorrow.

At that moment, thunder suddenly rumbled outside, even though it should have been a sunny day.

Neither the father nor the son paid any attention and continued with their inspection.

After Tommy finished the oral examination, he gently closed the body's mouth.

Next, they examined the lower body of the corpse.

He did a quick external check and found nothing wrong.

He then said to Austin:

"Get me a cotton swab."

Austin brought her father a forensic swab.

The outer layer comes with a glass test tube attached.

Tommy took the cotton swab and wiped the inside.

Austin turned his head away somewhat uncomfortably and held the test tube next to his father.

A few moments later, the evidence collection was completed.

Austin carefully placed the cotton swabs in the evidence box.

He sat to the side, watching his father carefully examine the lower body of the corpse.

"Oh! There's a tear, a crack in the muscle tissue."

Tommy's voice was very frustrated, which seemed to confirm his guess.

"Is it a scratch?"

No, it's a cut.

The knowledgeable Tommy instantly came to mind.

I imagined what could have caused such a wound.

He raised his head, a hint of reluctance flashing in his eyes, and said to his son in a deep voice:

"Man-made."

Austin sighed upon hearing this:

"Tongue severed, joints comminuted fracture, abrasions to the lower body."

He shook his head and said in a low voice:

"Perhaps your guess is correct."

Austin also found the state of the woman's body horrific.

It was probably done by those inhuman human traffickers.

Tommy didn't reply, but instead sighed.

Dejected, he took off his gloves and muttered to himself:

"The external inspections are almost over, but we still have a lot to do."

With that, he pushed open the door to the dissection room and slowly walked out.

Watching her father's departing figure, Austin glanced at the clock on the wall.

It was now 9:45 PM.

He had made plans with his girlfriend to go see a movie together at 11 p.m.

Austin was a little worried that the autopsy might not be finished before 11 o'clock.

Meanwhile, just as Li Yuan was about to get moldy from waiting,

Finally, the lights came on in the distance, the light from car headlights.

A police car slowly pulled up in front of Li Yuan.

Sheriff Burke rolled down his car window and said to Li Yuan:

"Come on up, young Asian kid, I'll take you to the morgue right away."

Li Yuan nodded, opened the door, and got into the car.

The police car quickly headed toward the morgue in Grantham County.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Li Yuan casually inquired:

"Sheriff Burke, can you tell me about that body?"

I arrived in a hurry and am not clear about the specifics.

They didn't even know whether the deceased was male or female.

"Oh, you've come in quite a hurry."

Burke looked at Li Yuan with some surprise.

Although he didn't understand why the church had sent someone to examine the body,

But since it was possible to solve the problem, Burke welcomed Li Yuan's help.

"To be honest, I'm completely baffled too, because there's no identification information for the female corpse."

When she was found, she was lying naked in the dirt of the basement.

There were no external injuries, and he looked very young.

Upon hearing Burke's description of the corpse, Li Yuan froze on the spot.

He turned to look at Burke, his tone heavy.

He repeated what he had said earlier:

"You mean, it was a young woman's corpse with no identification or external injuries?"

Burke was somewhat surprised by Li Yuan's emotional fluctuations.

He nodded in surprise and said:

"That's right, that's exactly it."

I took the body to the Tilden morgue.

It was handed over to the Tilden family there for autopsy and evidence collection.

"Holy crap, an unidentified female corpse!"

Upon hearing the keywords "young female corpse" and "father and son conduct autopsy,"...

Li Yuan immediately recalled the plot of the movie.

That was a body from a witch hunt in New England in the 17th century.

The 'witch' who was brutally tortured and killed, and buried in the swamp.

Perhaps when she suffered torture and died a gruesome death, she was merely a falsely accused "witch."

But at this moment, lying on the dissection table, she had become a being more terrifying than a witch.

Although Li Yuan was unsure whether she was a vengeful spirit or a cursed being.

But the mental fortitude she displayed in the film was remarkable.

She can trap humans in illusions at will, causing them to kill each other.

She also seems to be able to absorb the souls of the dead to repair her damaged body.

Thinking of this, Li Yuan turned to look at Burke and said in a deep voice:

"Sheriff Burke, if you don't want two more bodies in your precinct, you'd better drive faster."

Burke was initially confused by Li Yuan's words.

But after a moment, he understood the meaning behind Li Yuan's words.

"Damn it! Is that corpse that eerie?"

Burke impatiently stepped on the gas.

The police car's engine roared to life as it sped toward the Tilden morgue.

Meanwhile, in the autopsy room of the Tilden morgue...

Tommy had composed himself and turned the video recorder back on.

He spoke in a deep voice to the camera:

"Now, we will continue with the internal review."

As he spoke, Tommy slowly walked to the dissection table, dragging the tray holding the surgical instruments.

"First and foremost, the heart and lungs."
