Invincible Wheel of Fortune

Chapter 54 55. The identity of the victim
Lanie Parish (Lanie Parish), the chief forensic doctor of the 29th branch of the forensic laboratory, is also an alumnus of Aaron, a talented student of the New York University School of Medicine, but did not choose to become a doctor, but became a forensic doctor.

However, this choice of employment is not because Renee the forensic doctor has a weird personality or is not good at interpersonal communication, but because she is a little difficult to choose. She is always hesitant about the patient's treatment plan and is not able to bear Take control of other people's lives.

Renee forensic doctor was troubled by this problem for a long time, only to find out that the forensic medicine industry can solve this problem perfectly. You don’t have to worry about choosing, but you can fully use the professional knowledge you have learned. It went well, and within a few years, he became the chief forensic doctor of the branch.

Forensic Renee and Kate have a very good relationship, and they are best friends who talk about almost everything in private, but work is important, and the two don't chat much.

"What's the situation here?" Kate asked directly without making many greetings.

Renee answered, "According to the nature of the wound, the fatal injury is preliminarily judged to be a knife wound on the chest, but the final conclusion can only be made after going back to check the water accumulation in her lungs and conduct toxicological tests. "

While talking, Renee pointed to a horizontal incision on the chest of the female corpse. On both sides of the incision, there were two dot-shaped bruises. After soaking in the river water, the color of the wound was a bit gray.

Kate asked: "Someone stabbed her?"

"Yes, the precise blow completely avoided the bones and hit the victim's heart. The perpetrator should be very familiar with the structure of the human body and had great force. The two dot-like bruises were caused by the pressure on both sides of the knife handle. of."

"According to the angle of the wound, if it is the most convenient attacking posture, the suspect should be similar to the victim's figure, which is about 1.7 meters five, not too much difference."

Aaron and Kate listened carefully. Aaron looked at the wound on the victim's chest and simulated the scene in his mind. He also felt that the knife was quite powerful and not something ordinary people could do.

Renee went on to say: "There are varying degrees of bruises on the arms and torso, which may be caused by fighting and defending."

"The corpse has been soaked in river water for a long time, and the specific time of death cannot be judged by the temperature of the liver. It can only be judged by the properties of its skin and iris, which does not exceed 24 hours. The specific conclusion can only be drawn after the autopsy. "

It seems simple, and everyone knows that it was stabbed to death, but the specific process of handling the case must have a scientific conclusion and cannot be taken for granted.

What kind of knife, how it was stabbed, why it was able to be stabbed, whether it was drugged first, whether it fell into the river after stabbing it, or it was thrown into the river later, all need to be further judged.

As the saying goes, the slightest mistake, the thousand miles of error, details determine success or failure, any evidence may affect the derivation process of the case.

"Similarly because of the immersion in the river water, it is impossible to extract non-personal fingerprints and DNA from his body. This is the situation at the scene, and the rest will have to wait for further analysis."

"Okay, thanks Renee, let me know if you find anything later."

"Hmm." Renee nodded, swaying, turned and left, went to the vehicle sent by the forensic laboratory, and was going to pull her back after Kate and Aaron had examined the female body.

The two wore gloves and searched, but they couldn't find anything of value. Aaron said with some uncertainty: "No ID, wallet, jewelry, mobile phone, none of these, but there are signs of fighting. Kate, what do you think, the robbery was too aggressive? But it doesn’t match the situation described by the forensic doctor Parrish, um, how much is the victim’s clothes and shoes worth?”

"It's just an ordinary mass brand, nothing expensive." Kate said directly, presumably because of her normal experience as an urban woman, she made a judgment in her heart when she saw it for the first time.

Kate also frowned slightly at this time, and said in a deep voice: "Well, it's not easy to explain such a professional technique. There is too little evidence left for us at the scene. It is completely impossible to judge whether it is a love murder, a vendetta or a conflict of interest. We don't even know the real truth. Where is the crime scene, and there is no way to determine the identity of the victim, we can only hope for facial recognition, fingerprints and DNA identification."

"That's the only way to go." Aaron replied helplessly.

The on-site investigation by Aaron and Kate was almost fruitless.

The case was a bit tricky, a large amount of evidence was destroyed by various external factors, it was the most troublesome kind of murder case.

Kate and Aaron discussed it, and they decided to call on Esposito and Ryan to help solve the case. Kate knew that the case at hand was coming to an end soon.

29th Precinct, Homicide Squad.

The victim was unlucky, but Kate and Aaron were lucky enough to quickly identify the victim through the fingerprinting system.

"Kate, Aaron, there is news." Ryan walked quickly with a document, walked to the desks of the two, handed the document to Kate, and said, "Javier and I are in the information bank of the Immigration Bureau. The victim's information was retrieved from the

"The victim's name is Hii... Hiiragi·Tamako (把玉子)" Ryan, a foreigner, felt very convoluted when he pronounced this name. Because of his father's job transfer, he immigrated to the United States with his parents and younger sister, her younger sister is Hiiragi Yoko, she is 25 years old, and her parents died in an accident five years ago."

"The victim didn't have any criminal records. I haven't had time to investigate in depth. I just checked the victim's information on the Internet. I didn't find much. I only know that the victim lives in the lower DC area of ​​Manhattan. He is a warehouse supervisor of a supermarket and has a boyfriend. , Jed Westwood."

Kate took the document and listened to it while browsing it, then handed it to Aaron, looked at Ryan and asked, "Then where is the victim's sister Yoko Hiiragi now?"

Ryan raised his eyebrows and replied: "Hey, the victim's sister is not a fuel-efficient lamp. She drove without a license, drunk driving, and fought. She entered the juvenile detention center twice at the age of 15 and 16. She left home last year. Run away, the victim has called the police, but has not been found, and is now defined as a missing person."

Aaron and Kate also grinned when they heard it, and they also deduced something from this. The family has undergone tremendous changes, and the elder sister has matured, taking on the responsibilities and burdens of the family, and working hard to support the family. Change, even self-defeating, self-defeating...

It's also human nature.

After reading the document, Aaron thought for a while and said, "Perhaps the disappearance of the victim's sister has something to do with our case?"

"It's also a clue. Let's look at the information from the juvenile detention center later. Ryan, you said that the victim still has a boyfriend. Do you have any contact information?"
