Scents like those of mock-orange or chestnut flowers, from the forensic doctor’s perspective, tend to be superficial.
Not to mention that these two types of flowers are umon, mentioning them is as good as not mentioning them at all.
The reality is, different people, in different states, produce seminal fluids with different scents.
For example, those without a scent indicate damaged prostate function.
A particrly strong scent might suggest prolonged abstinence.
A fishy stench could be caused by inmmation.
Musk or strong fishy smells aremon, most likely rted to dietary issues.
To describe its scent withmon items, French perfumes might be more appropriate, especially when the concentration is high.
Many French perfumes contain simr scent profiles.
At this moment, Chief Medical Examiner Niu voluntarily stepped up to the pile of papers.
Everyone had been local forensic doctors for many years and were somewhat familiar with each other.
With certain skills specific to some, they would consult as needed.
Naturally, no one would fight with Chief Medical Examiner Niu for the papers.
What caught Jiang Yuan’s attention the most, however, were several small pieces of jewelry.
They were not particrly valuable; judging by the material, they were likely made of copper, ss, or something ss-like.
A pair of earrings, a ne, and a ring in total.
Based on Jiang Yuan’s recent experience rummaging through the trash, the owners of this batch of garbage had conservative spending habits.
For instance, the fish bones were from hairtail, clothing materials were primarily synthetic fibers and cotton, and from the packaging of snacks and drinks, the price points were not very high, with many being products from obscure small factories.
In such a context, aplete set of discarded jewelry seemed rather conspicuous.
Of course, it could also be unrted to the case, but Jiang Yuan still gave it more attention.
After a brief examination, he bagged them in evidence bags.
A few forensic doctors ssified about two tons of garbage on the scene, spending several hours on the task.
Excavation on the other side was progressing rapidly, with the mine being dug almost 10 meters deeper.
By this time, the lighting conditions were very poor.
Anything that felt somewhat useful was quickly transported to the top of the mine, which about concluded the day’s excavation.
The mine had already been dug quite deep, and continuing to work a night shift would be too risky.
Xu Taining was in charge of the site.
Jiang Yuan went to report and said, “I’m nning to go to Qinghe City tonight to take a look at the body.”
Xu Taining nodded in slight admiration.
He had been standing at the top of the mine all day, observing the work below.
After all, no matter howplicated the surrounding search was, it was ultimately about obtaining clues.
The body was currently the “evidence” most likely to yield numerous leads.
And Jiang Yuan’s work ethic and abilities were all noticed by Xu Taining.
Compared to other forensic doctors he had worked with, Xu Taining saw more strengths and greater physical stamina in Jiang Yuan, making him a rare find.
Of course, these were not words Xu Taining would say out loud.
He just nodded warmly and said, “You should also take care of yourself.
Don’t overdo it and wear yourself out.”
“Yes,” Jiang Yuan responded, unsure if he caught the underlying message, but upon getting approval, he immediately followed the car down the mountain.
The journey from Zi Feng Town to Qinghe City took two hours.
He would sleep during the drive and upon arrival at the Qinghe City morgue, stepping out of the car, he suddenly felt as if he were in another world.
Gone were the sounds of the excavators, the omnipresent buzzing of conversations, and the anxious mood seemed to be soothed by the tranquility of the morgue.
The tip of his nose caught the scent of the rustic outdoors tinged with smoke, the refreshing aroma of pine trees, and the burnt smell of yellow paper.
In the distance, the silently advancing rtives of the deceased each carried out their own customs to mourn the dead, yet quiet and silence were the universal standards they all shared.
Jiang Yuan suddenly felt aplete sense offort envelop him as if he were bathing in a hot spring, all fatigue being washed away from his body.
“Let’s go, the sooner we finish examining the body, the sooner we can rest,” Chief Medical Examiner Niu hopped out of the car.
He, too, waspletely worn out that day.
Following Jiang Yuan out here was less about attending an autopsy and more akin to being sent for a respite.
Due to Xu Taining’s situation, forensic experts from the provincial department had alreadye to assist in Qinghe City.
People like Chief Medical Examiner Niu and others no longer had any desire to perform autopsies themselves.
Jiang Yuan, who held LV3 in Forensic Anthropology and wasparable to a provincial expert, insisted oning to watch because he felt he could contribute.
The autopsy room.
The smell filled his nostrils as the venttion fans whirred in vain.
The first two bodies had already been ced on the autopsy table.
Dismembered limbs were pieced together as best as possible, yet they still resembled broken toys.
However, the thought of them as living people easily brought a churn to one’s stomach.
Jiang Yuan slipped into his whiteb coat and entered, his gaze immediately falling upon the body undergoing adipocere.
Bodies in the process of adipocere typically appeared in water or in moist soil.
If the soil was too dry, mummified corpses would form instead.
Both are types of preserved bodies, which, in contrast to the eventual bare, stark white bones, seemed to retain more of their flesh.
Yet, upon seeing the bodies, one might feel that skeletal remains are more agreeable.
Adipocere and mummified bodies, after all, were better suited to being wrapped in cloth.
Corpse Wax, as the name suggests, is the part of the corpse that bes wax-like.
The transformation mainly involves the body’s fat tissues, beginning with the limbs, then the face and buttocks.
However,pared to the figures in a wax museum, the greyish-white of Corpse Wax is far more sinister.
From another perspective, after seeing Corpse Wax, the horror felt at wax figures reaches new heights.
“Medical Examiner Zhai,” Chief Medical Examiner Niu greeted the forensic expert from the provincial department first.
Medical Examiner Zhai was a skinny, sallow-faced old man with a somewhat dull look in his eyes.
He was considered Wang Lan’s counterpart at the provincial level and even an upgraded version.
However, unlike Wang Lan, who as a forensic doctor for the city bureau had to travel everywhere, Medical Examiner Zhai’s work mainly consisted of paperwork—reviewing forensic reports from various ces and text-based tasks like injury identification.
Only for particrly major cases would Medical Examiner Zhai be called in.
Seeing Jiang Yuan and Chief Medical Examiner Niu, he said nothing and just let them proceed on their own.
Jiang Yuan didn’t hold back and started his own top-to-bottom examination.
The broken bones of the body all had matching points, indicating that there were no missing bones.
The few cuts that had been made by Medical Examiner Zhai were also clean and decisive.
After watching for a while, Chief Medical Examiner Niu lost interest.
He would rather read an autopsy report than watch a body that had been dissected, especially when facing such an overwhelming disy of expertise.
Jiang Yuan felt a kinship with his mood but was instead eager to give it a try.
