Forensic Doctor 2003: I Became a Legend on the Front Lines of Criminal Investigation

Just then, the deceased's parents staggered in.

With just one glance, the woman's eyes instantly filled with tears. "My son, it's such a pity you left us!"

"How could you be so heartless as to leave Mom! Waaaaah..."

"The person who forced you to drink yesterday must pay compensation!"

"Compensation is necessary..."

Hearing this, Jiang Chen's lips twitched. If one did not observe carefully, the corpse in front of him might be judged as having died accidentally from vomit blocking the airway due to drinking.

Based on this conclusion, those who forced others to drink alcohol last night at noon and in the evening will likely bear civil liability.

In his previous life, Jiang Chen had dealt with many such unnatural deaths.

At the dinner table, everyone is a good brother or sister, but if someone drinks themselves to death, they immediately become enemies.

The person who organizes the gathering takes the lion's share, while the people who drink with the guests take a smaller share; no one can escape the main bet.

Compared to the woman's hysteria, the man standing next to her had a tense expression and bloodshot eyes, showing no signs of sadness, but one could strongly sense the repression in his heart.

He just kept smoking over and over again.

Jiang Chen originally wanted to immediately stop the act of smoking at the scene of death.

But then I realized, this is 2003.

On-site investigation standards have not yet been issued; they are all in the nascent stage of development.

Moreover, seeing the man's bloodshot eyes, any conflict at that moment could become the trigger for his outburst.

Therefore, Jiang Chen swallowed back the words that were already on the tip of his tongue.

Seeing this, Li Jian said softly, "Sister, the dead cannot be brought back to life. Please accept my condolences!"

The man opposite him took a deep drag on his cigarette, threw the butt on the ground, and stomped on it hard.

"Officers, please hurry up, we want to settle the aftermath as soon as possible."

Upon hearing this, Li Jian turned his head, his gaze shifting back and forth between Jiang Chen and the corpse several times.

According to the usual procedure for handling unnatural deaths, he would say, "After we finish the external examination of the body, we will hand it over to you to handle yourselves."

However, he hesitated when looking at the corpse today.

The reason for the hesitation was not that the body could not be buried by itself, but rather what Jiang Chen had just said.

Thinking of this, Li Jian's gaze lingered on the deceased's left abdomen for 5 seconds.

The skin on the left abdomen was indeed a bit dark, which was different from the lividity seen in the past.

According to Jiang Chen, that area showed signs of bleeding in the skin.

However, there were no wounds or blunt force injuries on the skin in that area.

Confused, he turned and glanced at Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen looked determined and very composed.

Human life is at stake; we cannot be careless at all!

With this thought in mind, Li Jian said in a deep voice, "We are still conducting the autopsy. Once it's finished, we will hand the body over to you for disposal."

Li Jian's statement was very neutral; he neither confirmed that there was a problem nor denied that there was no problem.

On the one hand, Jiang Chen is just a newcomer, and it's his first time performing an autopsy, so the reliability of his conclusions is questionable.

On the other hand, the family members are currently emotionally agitated, and any inappropriate words or actions could shift the focus of the conflict and backfire.

Upon hearing Li Jian's reply, the man opposite him nodded.

"Hurry up, I want my child buried as soon as possible!"

After he finished speaking, he helped the woman out.

After they left, Li Jian turned to Jiang Chen and asked, "Jiang Chen, what was the other piece of evidence you mentioned earlier?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen raised his finger and pointed to the deceased's groin.

"Captain! Look here!"

Soon, Li Jian and Wang Hui looked in the direction the finger was pointing.

One minute later, both of them looked up, their eyes filled with confusion.

Wang Hui asked, "There's nothing special about these red underwear. There's no tear or anything!"

Jiang Chen replied, "The underwear is intact and not torn, but the urine stain is in the wrong place."

"Urine stains?"

Wang Hui looked at the underwear again and said, "This isn't surprising, is it? We've encountered cases where the groin area of ​​the deceased was damp before."

At this moment, the doubt on Li Jian's face deepened.

However, as the leader of the criminal investigation team, he generally wouldn't express his own opinions.

Immediately afterwards, in order to better demonstrate his point of view, Jiang Chen prepared to observe and explain simultaneously.

He had already found the reasons for these explanations, all of which came from forensic pathology books.

Jiang Chen bent down and pulled up the deceased's left arm, instantly turning the deceased from a supine position to a left lateral position.

In this situation, urine stains on the front and back of the groin are clearly visible.

It must be said that forensic work is physically demanding.

Jiang Chen held the corpse with one hand and pointed at the urine stains with the other, feeling a bit strained.

He then said, "According to the forensic pathology book compiled by Huang Guangzhao that I read, muscles relax after death."

"Under normal circumstances, urine in the human bladder will not overflow due to the contraction of the urethral sphincter. However, when a person dies, the bladder sphincter relaxes, and urine in the bladder will flow out."

"However, the biggest problem with this body is that the urine is in the wrong place."

As he spoke, Jiang Chen gestured and said, "Judging from the vomit and lividity on the body, the deceased should have been lying face down on the bed when he died. In this position, the urine flowing out of the bladder should have been in the front of the groin."

"However, the urine stains we are seeing now are on the back of the groin, that is, the buttocks."

"Therefore, I deduce that the deceased did not die from vomit blocking the airway while sleeping face down, but rather from sleeping face up."

"Dying face up?"

Wang Hui looked surprised. "Then what was the cause of his death?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Chen said in a deep voice, "We can't tell from this; we'll have to dissect it open."

Upon hearing this, Li Jian's expression grew even more serious.

Five minutes ago, he was merely skeptical of Jiang Chen's views.

Now, he firmly believes in Jiang Chen's views.

There's definitely something wrong with this body!
