Chapter 117 Preparing for anatomy
"Manager Lin, do you want to be responsible for the autopsy yourself?"
The Mumu Police Department was a little surprised and pleasantly surprised.
Due to the lack of medical examiners with medical exemption certificates, the Metropolitan Police Department has not conducted independent forensic autopsies for a long time.
This time, the Gunma Prefectural Police handed over the body just to ask the Metropolitan Police Department to help use Tokyo's medical resources and let doctors from the forensic laboratory of a cooperative university or a cooperative hospital perform the autopsy.
The anatomy skills of those university scholars and hospital doctors are naturally not bad, but they are not police after all. They only provide autopsy reports from an academic perspective and will not participate in the investigation of the case.
They made an inappropriate comparison with Lin Xinyi, an internal police forensic doctor who participated in the entire investigation:
This is probably the difference between a teacher who hands out textbooks and handouts and asks students to go back and study on their own, and a teacher who patiently accompanies students throughout the process and teaches students step by step how to learn and practice.
And for "stupid students" with extremely limited abilities like the Metropolitan Police Department
If you don't lead him hand in hand, he won't be able to carry him at all.
Of course, the Metropolitan Police also hopes that its own people will be responsible for dissections, but doing anatomy is tiring, dirty, and troublesome, and the salary is not as much as being a doctor. Several forensic doctors recruited by the Metropolitan Police in the past did not last long and changed careers. .
Therefore, because they were worried that the newly recruited manager Lin would be too tired to run away again, no one thought of asking him to do it personally even though there were several cases that required autopsy in the previous cases.
But now, seeing that Lin Xinyi really wanted to take over such a tiring job, the police department reacted quickly:
"Great, Manager Lin!"
"I'll immediately help inform the other side to clean up the anatomy room!"
As he said this, as if he was afraid that Lin Xinyi would regret it, the Mu Mu police department was like a crocodile in a melon field under the moon, tensing up its fleshy body and slithering out.
Lin Xinyi also stood up and walked out of the door, planning to go back to the forensics class to help prepare.
At this time, Mao Lilan stopped him:
"Mr. Lin Xinyi." She hesitated and thought for a moment, then plucked up the courage to say, "Can I do the dissection with you?"
"You want to participate in the autopsy?"
Lin Xinyi was a little surprised, then shook his head and refused:
"Forget it, it's still too early for you."
He still admires Mao Lilan's studious attitude.
But she has only studied forensic medicine for a few days and does not know basic anatomy knowledge. She can only help pass things around and do some beatings when participating in the autopsy, which does not have much effect.
What's more, the dissection process is so impactful that the dissuasive effect is a hundred times stronger than the last corpse surface examination.
Lin Xinyi was very worried that if she was exposed to such exciting content right from the beginning, the students would be scared away.
"No, please let me be your assistant!"
Mao Lilan's attitude was still very serious.
"Mr. Lin, you also said that if I want to be a forensic doctor, I will have to learn anatomy sooner or later."
"In this case, if I have the opportunity, I still want to get in touch with actual operations as soon as possible."
There was a different kind of enthusiasm in her eyes, which was curiosity about the truth and determination for her ideals.
While saying that, she also gave a very strong reason:
"Besides, Mr. Lin, you shouldn't be able to find that kind of professional anatomy assistant in the Metropolitan Police Department, right?"
"Uh" Lin Xinyi was speechless:
Indeed, given the current state of extinction of the autopsy department, it is really difficult to find a reliable assistant to participate in the autopsy.
And Mao Lilan has seen enough corpses, and his courage is definitely not inferior to that of most police officers.
"Okay, then come along."
Lin Xinyi thought for a moment and finally agreed.
This is a real test. If Mao Lilan is not persuaded to give up after observing the autopsy, then she will definitely be able to persist in the path of forensic medicine.
In this way, Lin Xinyi took Mao Lilan out of the interrogation room and went to the autopsy department together.
And Mao Lilan followed him happily. Before leaving, he turned back to Kogoro and Conan and said:
"Dad, Conan, I won't be home until very late tonight."
"When you go back, you not only have to sweep the floor, but also remember to wash your own clothes."
"Otherwise, don't look for me if you don't have anything to wear tomorrow."
As she spoke, she left a gentle and considerate smile, turned around and disappeared out the door.
Conan, Kogoro: ""
"Oh, studying forensic medicine is harmful to people!" Mouri Kogoro was indignant.
After only a few days, the caring little cotton-padded jacket who was more diligent than the nanny disappeared.
With Xiaolan here, he hasn't done housework for many years.
Now he is suddenly asked to wash clothes. Where is the washing machine at home?
"Looks like we have to get serious this time!"
"I won't go back at night - I must get in front of that brat and solve this case!"
Seeing that his father was losing more and more dignity in the eyes of his daughter, the great detective Mouri Kogoro, who had been dormant for many years, finally ignited his fighting spirit:
"You have to let Xiaolan know that detectives are definitely better than forensic doctors!"
"Yes!" Conan shared the same hatred and nodded silently.
Soon after, the anatomy room.
Although the Metropolitan Police Department does not have forensic talents, it does have advanced and complete forensic equipment.
Just like this dissection room, it has a new air conditioning system, multi-functional air supply and static pressure box, extraction and exhaust system, audio and video monitoring system, stainless steel dissection equipment, disinfection equipment, and lighting control equipment.
All kinds of equipment are available, which was quite advanced in the era when Lin Xinyi came.
Lin Xinyi heard from seniors in the industry that because domestic forensic medicine started late, in the same 1990s, forensic medicine in most areas of the country did not have such professional anatomy rooms available.
At that time, it was common to have a house with an exhaust fan even if the conditions were good. If the conditions were poor, it was common to set up a tent directly in the open space and perform open-air dissections.
In the summer, you have to pay attention to keeping flies and mosquitoes away while dissecting, so you can imagine the hard work.
“It’s such a good equipment, what a pity.”
Looking at Miss Mao Lilan who entered the dissection room for the first time with curiosity written all over her face, Lin Xinyi couldn't help but sigh when he thought that he only had such a cute rookie assistant at his disposal.
After sighing with emotion, he quickly got into work mode.
After taking Mao Lilan in the dressing room to change into professional anatomy clothes, put on gloves and a mask, and cover herself tightly, Lin Xinyi finally walked into the anatomy room.
The dissecting room is very clean, and the shadowless lighting strip emits bright white light, illuminating the stainless steel dissecting table below very brightly.
The black body bag containing the deceased's body had been placed by the police on a mobile trolley and sent to the autopsy table, where it lay quietly.
"Are you ready?" Lin Xinyi formally asked the rookie assistant beside him.
"Yes." Mao Lilan nodded solemnly while pushing the dissection equipment trolley with various instruments on it.
"Then let's get started." He led Mao Lilan to the dissecting table.
Then, after thinking for a moment, he walked to the storage and ventilation cabinet on the side and took out a stainless steel basin.
"What is this for?" Mao Lilan is like a curious baby, asking when she encounters someone who doesn't understand.
"I have it ready for you."
"If you feel like vomiting later, remember to use this to catch up."
Lin Xinyi replied calmly.
"I" Mao Lilan blushed and replied stubbornly: "Mr. Lin, I have seen so many corpses, so I am not so fragile!"
"I hope so"
Lin Xinyi smiled noncommittally:
This has nothing to do with whether it is fragile or not. Contact with a dead body will cause nausea, which is a normal physiological reaction.
Many people will vomit when they are new to anatomy.
And what Mao Lilan was going to participate in the autopsy now was not an ordinary corpse, but a charred corpse that had been roasted by the fire.
Just wait and see how sour and refreshing it is.
Lin Xinyi thought this in his mind and directly opened the zipper of the body bag.
The horrifying corpse, which was completely charred and black, and whose limbs were twisted and deformed, revealed its true appearance.
At the same time, an indescribable burnt smell quickly spread.
"Well" Mao Lilan's face changed slightly.
She couldn't help but feel a surge of stomach acid after she had just retorted harshly.
But relying on the concentration she had gained from seeing countless corpses, she still pressed her lips tightly and maintained her calm.
"Is it okay?"
"If it doesn't work, you can replace Inspector Komatsu as your assistant."
Lin Xinyi asked again thoughtfully.
"It's okay, it's nothing, I won't vomit." Mao Lilan showed the determination to win against a strong enemy in the karate arena, looking extremely strong.
"Well, help me put the body on the autopsy table."
"Um!"
Mao Lilan nodded, and then he and Lin Xinyi supported the burnt corpse and transferred it from the body bag to the autopsy table.
The transfer process was smooth.
And Mao Lilan was about to let go, but accidentally used a little more force on her hand.
Then, just hear a click
A piece of charred skin fell from the body.
The piece of burnt and charred skin fell on her hand. She didn't react for a moment, but she subconsciously pinched it with her hand.
It's hard and crispy when pinched, like a thickened version of seaweed.
With a slight exertion, it broke into several pieces in my hand.
"This is disgusting-"
Mao Lilan immediately bent down.
"Catch, remember to catch"
Lin Xinyi handed over the basin with a calm expression.
