Chapter 118 Anatomy
With the help of the light of the living room, Okabaya pulled out a smaller blade from the cowhide fabric, and gently stroked left and right on the outer layer of the scalp, scraping off some dander. Because the surface of the scalp contains a large amount of hair follicles, sebaceous glands and sweat glands, the amount of dander falling off can also be determined by the amount of dander falling off, or whether the deceased was overly nervous or mechanically suffocated.
What is this?
A light flashed in Okaga's eyes. In the dander linked with a small piece of paper, some black particulate matter was found, which obviously did not belong to the body's secretion or metabolized liposterior tissue.
Every new discovery takes a step further from the truth.
After discovering these black particulate matter, Ogata quickly searched for the same thing in the hair of the deceased, because after countless autopsies, he came to a conclusion that the most likely place for female deceased to show evidence outside the body is that hair and nails that are easily contaminated with foreign substances.
After smoothing out strands of hair from left and right, Ogata was gentle as if combing his beloved wife's hair, but to outsiders, it was a bit more creepy. At least no one was willing to fiddle with his bodyless head like this...
Oda Katsugu swallowed his saliva and said to Kakutani beside him: "No wonder he wasn't afraid when he found out about Chikako's head."
"I've been accustomed to this kind of thing every day." Kakuya tried hard to control the shooting angle of the camera while answering his words.
Sure enough, during the smoothing process, the same black particles were found between the deceased's hair and brain cortex. Okara slowly collected these substances with tweezers and then placed them on the white paper beside them.
After stopping all the movements in his hands, Okabaya looked at the black particles. If his eyes stretched, it seemed that he could see twisted veins through his pupils. Those were bridges formed by the inner world and thoughts that changed countless times in an instant.
After a while of silence, he wrapped the collected black substances in paper and continued to return to the front of his head. Looking at Zhikako's eyes closing, Okaga stretched out his hand and used different finger pressing techniques to test the sagging degree of facial skin...
When the palm of the hand brushed across these three-dimensional facial features, there was a strange feeling, like a clarification like crying and complaining, and couldn't wait to convey some ideas and information.
When studying in the United States, the professor who taught him told him that the first thing he saw was not a terrible face, but a fragile body. Once a person dies and stays in this world, the only thing he proves that he has been here is this corpse.
The appearance of the corpse is a kind of word that stays when she wants to express her inner impulse most. Just like people blink when they lie, different demands will produce different face and muscle changes.
Okabata felt the reality of these expressions condensed. He slowly raised his head and looked at the neck, and a large area of wound cut by a sharp blade.
The flesh and blood are mixed with some bones, blood vessels, and veins. When touched through gloves, it is definitely not smooth. There are even faults during the cutting process, and the faults divide several regions.
Faults can reflect strength, speed, space, the width and length of the blade surface of the tool, as well as the murderer's psychology.
Cutting a person's head off his body requires great courage and a physical job. However, Okao has observed these faults, and in terms of undertaking, the distance between the first fault is the most serious.
In other words, the cutting power of the first knife is the strongest. In order to prevent the deceased from making a sound, it is better to die. The second knife is a downward force, and the third knife and the fourth knife are the same...
When the first knife is down, the deceased is dead, and the time when the second knife is down and the fatal damage of the first knife is borne in a short time. Because judging from the degree of contraction of blood vessels and tendons, all the damage is caused when the human body functions still maintain a certain function.
In other words, the first knife killed someone, while the second knife was not a special way of handling the deceased after the deceased had been dead for a period of time.
In terms of the continuity of these faults, Okata speculated that a murder plan, or concept, had been left in the murderer's head at that time.
After killing the dead, she cut off her head without hesitation. Apart from the need for plans and ideas, she could no longer describe it with courage. She was a kind of almost excited and even interesting "killing addiction".
Even if ordinary people have ideas and plans, they will always be bound by fear and tension when facing murder, causing various ideological constraints.
However, if the murderer's execution ability exceeds reason, it will become an extremely terrible psychological pleasure.
Okara slowly closed his eyes, recalling the time when he saw this head in the woods, and every word Suzuki Ayako said to her, and suddenly felt that something was contradictory.
And this contradiction seems to be the murderer using some means to deliberately deceive him and everyone else. However, no matter what kind of illusion it is, the basis for forensic reference is not a accumulation of a series of reasonings, but the corpse itself.
Opening his eyes and observing Ikeda's head up close, Okabaya understood that there was only one best way to perform an autopsy when the body was incomplete.
"Everyone." Okara, who had not spoken out, and even said that he was completely immersed in the thinking space, suddenly turned his head and looked at everyone, and said slowly.
Hum? Is the autopsy over? Everyone, including Conan, looked at Okata with anticipation, waiting for the conclusion he said.
"To further determine the process and truth of death, I need to dissect Ikeda Chikako's head."
Okabata said seriously, and he noticed that when he said this, everyone's expression became shocked and surprised.
Ayako Suzuki opened her eyes wide and asked excitedly: "Do you need to have an surgery on Zhikako's head?" Of course she understood the meaning of the word "anatomy". Faced with the death of her friend, she was already emotionally fluctuating. Now she heard that Okabata was going to dissect her head, and she was very resistant to this behavior.
"I want to dissect the body in front of us...this is a big deal..." Oda Katsuba turned pale, and he felt a snoring in his stomach, and he could not imagine the next scene.
Okata was not surprised to see that everyone's reaction was so intense, because whether it was in this era or in the future 21st century, the autopsy was a very resistant link to the deceased's relatives.
He did not rush to defend himself, but persuaded him in a calm tone.
"Anatomy is a necessary way of confirmation for the forensic doctor. For you, it is to destroy the dead friend's body... but for the deceased?"
Everyone was looking at Okata in the entire living room.
"Tell me in a way of liberation, and tell you... the value of life is the body, and the meaning of death is the idea!"
