National Forensic Doctor

"You say there’s no case, and suddenly there are two at once. Are they both confirmed to be murder cases?"

Upon hearing that both mutilated bodies were discovered in Qinghe City, Huang Qiangmin immediately came over to check.

Inside the autopsy room of Building 9, one autopsy table held a headless skeletal corpse stripped of flesh, while the other table only held five severed fingers.

Jiang Yuan was injecting the five fingers and nodded in response: "The headless corpse is definitely a murder case. As for the five fingers, further research is needed."

These fingers were in a wrinkled state. Due to dehydration, the surfaces of the fingers were shriveled, which meant directly taking fingerprints would result in too many creases, making them unusable. The solution was simple: injecting glycerin or air into them.

That’s precisely what Jiang Yuan was doing—holding the severed fingers, inserting the needle diagonally from the side of the finger aimed toward the paper. It felt oddly similar to injecting marinade into chicken wings.

Huang Qiangmin frowned while observing and asked, "What’s our plan now?"

"I think we should prioritize the headless case. We can do some preliminary investigation on the five fingers for now."

"Oh?"

Jiang Yuan responded, "I had Wang Chuanxing look into cases from the past two weeks—no reports of malicious crimes involving severed hands. These five fingers were cut from the left hand of a corpse without any signs of life, which means there could be an arm or corpse missing, but it’s not necessarily a murder case. It might just be a simple case of body abandonment."
