Chapter 4

Standing beside the dissecting table made of stainless steel, Maxwell bowed to me first.

He then picked up a silver scalpel and cut right down the middle of my neck.

"The first soft rib is not calcified."

Later, he cut open the chest in one stroke. "Not much fat, no stretch marks, no surgical scars."

He gently twisted the edge of my lung lobe, reporting, "There is some bruising. So, there is severe emphysema in the lungs."

"There are bleeding spots in the pericardium," he added.

"It is mechanical asphyxiation that causes death."

While checking the sensitive parts, he frowned.

It was because it looked terrible.

I doubted if he thought of that case.

It was a rape and dismemberment case he once participated in and solved. At that moment, it shocked everyone in the entire city.

The case also sent me to hell.

Maxwell was very serious and pious when he was working. There was strong light above his head, and he used the scalpel with great skill.

It was the first time I saw him work, but I didn’t expect that I would become the one lying on the dissecting table.

It took him several hours to complete the autopsy. He also carefully wrote the autopsy report and the crime scene analysis report.

He handed over the two reports to Bob and then participated in the meeting.

The whiteboard was covered with photos of my body from various angles.

As the forensic doctor who performed the autopsy, Maxwell made a detailed analysis and summary.

"The deceased is a female, aged 20-25 years old. Based on the digestion of the stomach contents and the state of decomposition of the body, she died approximately 10 days ago.

"There are no stretch marks on her abdomen, but there is a history of pregnancy, so she should have had a miscarriage just before her death."

He paused for a while and frowned.

I wanted to ask Maxwell if he still remembered we once had a child...

Back to reality, he continued to report, "The wounds on the limbs were in a disorderly manner, indicating that the murderer had no experience and patience.

"He was excited and anxious perhaps because it was his first time killing someone. Or perhaps he was intentionally torturing the victim. In any case, the means of offense was cruel.

"Severe emphysema was found in the lungs. Poisoning was ruled out. It confirmed that she died from suffocation.

"The murderer is extremely cruel. It is suspected that he had a deep hatred for the deceased or the deceased's family...

"He killed and dismembered the woman just to vent his anger and seek revenge!"

At this time, everyone present was silent.

Bob said in a deep voice, "It's so similar."

Others knew which case he was talking about.

That case was something that few people could forget.
