Chapter 427: Chapter 252: Autopsy, Clues, Another Hint from the Murderer (6000 Words Spliced Together, Extra Chapters 3 & 4 for Monthly Pass)

The murderer had successfully piqued Brian’s interest.

Previously, his focus on this case was only about ten percent, but now it had risen to seventy or eighty percent.

In the murderer’s eyes, this case was just the beginning of his game.

In Brian’s view, the game had already begun its countdown.

Two days, at most two days, and he would force the other party to log off!

Regrettably, he hadn’t seen the Obsession Little Ball at the scene; otherwise, Brian would have shortened this timeframe to half a day.

..

Because of the discovery of the projection, everyone climbed to a high position, took pictures for evidence collection, and then resumed the crime scene cleanup.

Looking at the projection information in the camera, Green’s eyes were intense, "Boss Brian, I read in the dossier that the kind of murderer who performs such provocative acts is either arrogant or a highly intelligent criminal. I suspect we’re dealing with the latter."

He felt this case was a test for them.

Brian nodded.

Green was right.

Solving a case and combat were two different things.

Without finding key clues, even if he could smash a tank with one punch, he wouldn’t be able to locate the murderer.

But there’s an old saying: the more you do, the more mistakes you make.

The more he dealt with illegal and criminal matters, the more Brian understood: there’s no absolutely clean crime scene; if there is, it means you just haven’t found the traces left by the perpetrator.

The dead do speak.

The difference between a master and an ordinary person is whether you can find the key to pry open the mouths of the dead.

Taking their findings from the scene, the convoy began to gradually leave.

The area would still be sealed off, but only two patrol officers would be assigned to guard in shifts, more as a formality.

...

So many bodies couldn’t easily be accommodated in a regular place.

Chief Jilder was talented. He not only called for refrigerated trucks to temporarily transport the bodies but also took them all to a cold storage warehouse in the town.

This was actually a form of ability.

Otherwise, without a connected chief, it would have been impossible to arrange for a cold storage warehouse in such a short time.

The owner could have completely snubbed the police force.

The cold storage warehouse was located on the edge of the town, with only a cement road beside it and not many residential buildings, making it relatively quiet.

By the time the convoy arrived, the area had already been cleared.

The warehouse was divided into storage bays, refrigeration rooms, and loading bays.

The environment on-site wasn’t clean—you couldn’t tidy up in such a short time—fortunately, all the cluttered goods had been dealt with.

Rows of inverted frozen pigs were pushed inside, concealed behind clear plastic curtains.

Neatly lined new trolleys were placed in the open area, ready for the staff to lay out the victims’ bodies.

This used to be the warehouse’s loading and unloading platform, and next to it was an automated washing system that actually seemed a bit more automated than a regular autopsy room.

In some respects, a forensic doctor and a butcher differ only in the clients they serve and the skills they possess; essentially, they aren’t too different.

Brian changed his clothes and, with Green assisting, began the autopsy directly.

...

The bodies had been arranged neatly, their clothes removed and set aside, waiting for possible further examination.

Following standard procedure, autopsy steps typically include examining the body, conducting a local inspection, dissection, internal organ examination, tissue testing... the process is cumbersome.

Brian, being self-taught and with exceptional talent, had his own approach to autopsies.

He liked to start by smelling.

In this case, there were thirty-three deceased, and the town’s Autopsy Officer had taken the driver’s body for examination, leaving a total of thirty-two bodies at the scene.

Of these, there were twenty-eight children’s bodies, three adult male bodies, and one adult female body.

Since this was a cold storage, many carcasses of animals were frozen, and more large animal carcasses were brought here to be cut and stored in the working area.

As a result, the odor at the scene was particularly unpleasant. frёeωebɳovel.com

This added some difficulty for Brian, but it wasn’t a big problem.

His current mental speed far surpassed that of ordinary people, allowing him to easily mark some of the site’s odors and then block them out, artificially creating a clean autopsy environment.

Brian walked among the bodies, capturing the faint scents they emitted.

These bodies smelled very fresh.

On them, in addition to the normal biological remnants, some carried an unpleasant body odor, some emitted strong perfumes and cosmetics scents, and others had unique body odors formed by different dietary habits.

But nearly all of the bodies emitted a particular kind of pheromone molecule.

These pheromones represented fear.

Human emotions are actually influenced by hormones within the body, which is why emotions can affect a person’s physiology.

For example, happy people tend to be in better physical condition, have stronger immunity, and have lower dopamine thresholds.

They easily maintain a good mood, are optimistic and confident, and generally live longer.

The pheromones that such people emit are pleasant to smell.

Being around them, ordinary people may not sense those pheromones, but will subconsciously feel more relaxed and comfortable.

Unhappy people are different.

The most obvious examples are women and patients with depression or anxiety disorders.

Women’s body structures allow them to secrete various hormones more easily, which means they are innately more susceptible to emotional manipulation, and their bodies are also more vulnerable to the effects of emotions.
