"The smile of death is nothing more than an illusion."
Gong Sun held a glass of milkshake with watermelon juice in his hand and looked at the weird smile on the face of the corpse that had been cleaned and placed on the dissection table.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang watched Gong Sun sniffing the milkshake while staring at the strangely smiling corpse, saying,
"The Phoenician is no longer a secret. It's because of saffron. The toxins in the aquatic celery cause facial muscle twitches. The toxic ingredients that can cause facial muscle twitches are very common. Just like the Star old Strange with three smiles happy scattered used by the stars in Jin Yong's novels, it must also be of this ingredient!"
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang twitched the corners of their mouths unconsciously and said,
"Gong Sun, don't put science and fiction together..."
"Huh?"
Gong Sun raised his eyes to look at the two of them and asked,
"Don't you think it's humorous? I used this example in my anatomy class, and my classmates said it was funny."
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were unable to lower their heads. Bai Yutang pretended to dig out his ears while lowering his voice to Zhan Zhao,
"So those who study forensic medicine are abnormal..."
Zhan Zhao responded in a low voice,
"I don't know what topics Big Brother usually discusses with him."
"Cough cough."
Gong Sun coughed, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked back, listening to Gong Sun said,
"We've been talking recently about how his rectus isn't very symmetrical. And as more as he practices his upper oblique muscle, he'll improve and eventually develop an extremely perfect abdomen."
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang have some urges to hit the wall at the same time...The brain automatically fills up Bai Jin Tang leaning on the bed, and Gong Sun lying on top of him and seriously tell him about the problem of abs...... This picture just thinks about it makes people a little crazy.
"Huh?"
While Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang's cranky thoughts were in progress, Gong Sun suddenly put down the milkshake in his hand, lowered his head, leaned over to look at the neck of the deceased, and saw there was a circle of obvious red marks and some signs of broken skin.
"What's caused by this?"
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang leaned over and asked,
"It looks like it was tied by a very thin rope."
"Mm-hmm."
Gong Sun took out the pendant of the smiling death mask from the evidence bag on the side, compared the lines of the rope and said,
"It may be caused by this."
"This strangulation doesn't seem to be caused by nature."
Bai Yutang said,
"It's like being pulled, and then the rope cuts through the throat... This rope is quite rough."
"Mmm...If I'm not mistaken, the poison probably down here."
Gong un said, using tweezers to take out the pendant from the evidence bag and take a small piece of rope for inspection. After a while, the test result came out. Gong Sun glanced at it, but didn't speak, yet nodded.
"Gong Sun."
Zhan Zhao asked him,
"How about sharing resources?"
Gong Sun looked at the two of them and said,
"There's a drug detected on the lanyard of this pendant, which means that the rope is soaked in the drug. Then, this rope belongs to a very rough hemp rope. Just grab this pendant, pulling hard... May cause abrasions on the deceased's neck... And then lead to poisoning."
"Is that why the time of intoxication is so good?"
Zhan Zhao asked.
"That's right, the toxicity of this Death Smile poison is quite easy to attack. The incubation period is very short. It's not an exaggeration to say that it sees blood in the throat. In short, after poisoning, it doesn't take long to attack, and the first hallucinations. This kind of illusion is basically quite scary. Most of them are falling off cliffs, having monsters chasing themselves... Etc., so he probably said, 'Don't kill me, and the timing for him to go downtown and go crazy is probably good."
"The person who poisoned him wanted him to cause as many casualties as possible?"
Zhan Zhao asked.
Gong Sun shrugged,
"You are a psychologist. I have to ask you about this."
"Where did his gun come from?"
Bai Yutang frowned.
At this time, Bai Chi ran in and said,
"Brother, the identity of the deceased has been found."
Bai Yutang reached out and took the information handed by Bai Chi, and Zhan Zhao leaned over to see...
"The name is Liu Song, a 25-year-old male, a graduate student in the Department of Chemistry of T University."
Zhan Zhao looked at the information,
"Now he's assisting his mentor Mo Liangguang in the research and development of company X's new drugs, mainly for the treatment of facial nerve paralysis."
"Heh."
Gong Sun laughed suddenly and said,
"That's right, saffron scarlet celery, which is the main ingredient of the death smile poison, can be used to treat people's facial nerve paralysis. More than that, beauty can also be used."
"Beauty?"
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang frowned at the same time,
"Beauty with poison?"
Gong Sun put down the drunk milkshake cup and told,
"What is it to beauty with poison? Bold attempts at the beauty in human history can be said to be incredible, including a chest tie, breast braces, swallowing a worm to control weight, dyeing hair with semen, massaging the skin with snakes, and more......."
"It's all right."
Bai Yutang stopped Gong Sun from going on and said,
"You spare me, it's almost time for dinner."
"Oh."
At this time, Ma Xin wandered in with one hand in her pocket, with a three-tiered big hamburger in her other hand, gnawing while walking, muttering in her mouth,
"Men like you who are naturally beautiful are the culprits of women sacrificing their health in exchange for their beauty."
"Xin Xin."
Bai Chi said to Ma Xin,
"Why do you eat all day? And why do forensics seem to eat all the time, but they don't get fat?"
Ma Xin approached with a smile and said to Bai Chi,
"Chi Chi, you have to call me Sister Xin Xin."
Bai Chi looked at Ma Xin,
"Why, we are obviously the same year."
Ma Xin squinted at him, yelled or not?
On the other hand, Bai Chi flattened his mouth, does he look very easy to bully? Ma Xin never bullied anyone, but she has already begun to bully him.
After teasing Bai Chi for a while, Ma Xin suddenly said to Bai Yutang,
"By the way, Captain, Bao bureau is coming at one step per second, and it's super black, adrenaline is high, blood pressure is going up! The expression on the face is described as anger in unacademic terms."
Bai Yutang felt his eyelids tremble and raised Zhan Zhao,
"Cat, the wind is tight, pull, whoo-hoo!"
Before Bai Yutang finished speaking, he heard someone shouting at the door,
"What the hell? Pulling what? Are you talking about bullshit things?!"
Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao raised their eyes and saw Bao Zheng standing at the door. His face was so ugly. Bai Yutang smiled twice and said,
"Bao Bureau, how can you speak so vulgar......"
"I'm mad at you, you two, come to the office!"
After speaking, he turned and went away.
Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao looked at each other and discouraged.
Bai Chi was puzzled, he asked Ma Xin and Gong Sun,
"We haven't made any mistakes recently. Why is the Bao Bureau very angry?"
Gong Sun raised his eyebrows, put down the scalpel in his hand down and said,
"Forget it. It seems that this corpse is not mine anymore."
Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao farewell. Everyone bowed their heads to meet Bao Zheng. Bai Chi was very puzzled. Since he didn't understand, Gong Sun said,
"Xiao Chi Chi, do you know how many cases the SCI has solved recently?"
Bai Chi thought for a while and said,
"We have been solving crimes almost every day this month, and we have arrested a lot of prisoners. Why is it made Bao Bureau not happy?"
"That's the problem."
Ma Xin said,
"SCI is an elite unit that is specially used to solve big cases. It has proved to be more powerful than police officers in other departments, so everyone in the police station is also a little taboo. However, no major cases have been solved recently, so the cases accumulated by other teams have been dealt with... In other words, isn't it just a disguised proof of the incompetence of other teams? Since SCI is so brave, what do other teams do? From now on, big and small cases will be handed over to SCI for solving."
Bai Chi frowned and said,
"But... When I asked them for the information. It was clear that there were cases that couldn't be solved or overdue cases. So, I brought them over... How after we solve the case, they file a complaint?"
"Oh, this is office politics."
Gong Sun took out a box of fried noodles from the small refrigerator, put it in the microwave, and said,
"Everyone applauds you on the surface, but you don't know what they say behind your back. So, Bao Bureau angrily brought people there, but that's a gesture, to be shown to colleagues in other departments. He's the director, and he always wants to keep things level or he'll be criticized, so in the office, he'll swear, is not certain, that's not necessarily true......Well, probably not."
......
"Don't you two think I won't scold you today!"
Bao Zheng patted the table in the office and shouted at Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang exchanged a look. The old man went crazy again.
"Captain Bai, can you see how many cases you have solved this month? What are you doing? Do you want to be a super detective What are the other departments doing here? Why don't I just drive the rest of the police station and leave you with SCI here? Is it all right?!"
Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao wrinkled their noses at the same time and didn't speak.
"I heard that Zhao Hu was injured today?"
Bao Zheng said,
"You're good. You're all elite at SCI. Are you taking them to the streets to catch hooligans? Are you even taking the job of a patrol officer?"
Bai Yutang lowered his head and muttered softly,
"That was an emergency situation."
"What?"
Bao Zheng stared.
Bai Yutang was silent, and looked at Zhan Zhao——What happened to the old man? Very angry?
Zhan Zhao raised his eyebrows——Probably constipated this morning.
"You two don't bother me!"
Bao Zheng yelled,
"Your SCI is used to investigate big cases. For other cases, people from Interpol and other departments will check it out!"
"There has been no case recently."
Bai Yutang muttered,
"You can't leave it in the office to get mouldy."
"Then go to investigate the old case!"
Bao Zheng said.
"Twenty years ago."
Bai Yutang said,
"I've seen the information a long time ago... Maybe the prisoners are dead now."
"Who asked you to check which ones you have?"
Bao Zheng stared at him, flipped through a box on the table and found a small key.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang glanced at each other, a little curious.
They saw Bao Zheng stood up, walked to the wall, opened the row of cabinets to the top cabinet door on the left, took out a few paper bags, and handed them to Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang.
"There are a few outstanding cases here, all within five years."
Bao Zheng sat at the table, took a cup of tea and said,
"If you want to investigate, pick a case here for me."
"Bao bureau?"
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang asked puzzledly,
"Then why didn't you give it to us before? Private possession?"
Bao Zheng gave them a white look and said,
"This wasn't a case that belonged to the city of S."
"Huh?"
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang opened the file bag and looked.
"Oh... It's from South City?"
Bai Yutang and Zhan are clear. Recently, they filed a document, saying that the city plan has changed to some extent. South City, which originally belonged to the suburbs of K City, is now part of the urban area of S City. The area of City S has expanded a bit and the jurisdiction of the police station has also expanded.
"There used to be a South City branch."
Bao Zheng said,
"Half of the people in the sub-bureau fell to the K city bureau, and some fell into our general bureau. These cases were unsolved cases of the South City Branch Bureau that year."
"Huo."
Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao looked at the thick pile of materials and said,
"The South City is not a large place and there are many cases."
"In fact, there are not many, there is more information... South City branch is small in scale and belongs to the vacuum zone where the two big cities intersect. Therefore, prisoners often take advantage of the loopholes. In just a few years, the South City branch has killed several criminal police captains."
"Is it because of these cases?"
Zhan Zhao asked him.
"Well, I suspect there is something involved, so the case is coming."
Bao Zheng nodded, looking at Bai Yutang and said,
"Can't you? If you really want to show me your face, just give me all these cases. It's broken! Don't go to the streets all day to catch gangsters, kill chickens and use electricity? Do you know waste? If Zhao Hu died today, what would you do to compensate me! You all are worth more than you don't know it, right??"
Bai Yutang twitched the corners of his mouth and smiled at Zhan Zhao. Although he was scolded without pain, he was very happy to have a case.
"By the way, there are two police officers in the southern city who are more familiar with this case. In the afternoon, I asked them to go to the SCI to explain the case to you. You're not familiar with the south city. Let them show you the way or something. That's right, you two, see how these two people are... If it doesn't work, I'll divide them into criminal police teams. If it works, you pick them up and keep them for use. They are both quite famous."
"Who are they?"
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang asked in unison.
"Liu Qing and Shen Zhong Yuan, have you heard of them?"
Bao Zheng asked.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang blinked together, and shook their heads at the same time,
"I haven't heard of them."
Bao Zheng was weak and said,
"Then you two go back and ask Wang Chao, Ma Han and the others. They probably have heard of it, and solve the case as soon as possible, do you hear it?"
"Yes."
Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao agreed and went out of the office with the information.
