Legendary FBI Detective

Trace examination department, autopsy room.

This autopsy room is not big, and there are not many forensic doctors. On weekdays, up to 2-5 corpses can be processed at the same time.

Today's situation is very special. Not only are several people busy in the autopsy room, but there are also people coming and going in the morgue next to it. From time to time, you can hear a few greetings starting with "F".

Luo An took Mona, Michelle and Lacey into the trace examination department, and soon saw a tall, thin, white man with an ugly face, about 50 years old.

The other party is the old forensic doctor of the trace examination department, Coward.

Seeing the other party approaching, Luo An quickly smiled and stretched out his hand:

"Hello, Mr. Coward, I am Roan Greenwood."

"I heard about you, Captain Greenwood."

Coward took off his gloves, forced a smile on his face and reached out to shake Roan's hand:

"I didn't expect you would give us such a big gift the first time we met."

In addition to the nine newly discovered corpses by Roan and Mona on the beach, Lacey and Michelle also brought back five surviving corpses from the Long Island police.

Considering the long history and some other reasons, 6 of the 11 corpses have been cremated by the Long Island police, leaving only clues such as photos and other physical evidence.

Fourteen corpses were sent to the Trace Inspection Department within one day.

In addition, the two corpses that Winslow had just recovered from the seabed and had just been transported here meant that the Trace Inspection Section needed to process a full 16 corpses in a short period of time.

Trace Inspection Department: "..."

Luo An understood that the staff such as Coward's forensic doctor were under great pressure, so he specially asked Lacey to give them some coffee beans and other small gifts.

Because of this, although Kovard Forensic Doctor and others were very unhappy, they had a good attitude towards Luo An and others. After a few simple greetings, they took the three of them to the morgue not far away.

Walking into the air-conditioned morgue and turning on the lights, there were two rows of metal cars parked in the huge room, with victims covered with white cloths.

"These are the corpses you sent."

Forensic doctor Coward walked into the morgue first and complained:

"I have been working here for more than 20 years. This is the first time I have seen someone like you, Team Leader Greenwood, where the corpses delivered at one time almost fill the morgue floor, and the metal carts are almost not enough."

Luo An smiled bitterly and shook his head. He had encountered serial murder cases in the past, as well as cases with many victims and many corpses.

But this time the number of victims was 11+9+2, and the number was as high as 22.

Moreover, the first victim died in 1992. This is the first time Luo An has encountered a case that has spanned more than ten years.

"I haven't asked for the identity information of these corpses. My students are handling them. You can go find him later."

Forensic doctor Coward walked to the first metal car in the first row, lifted up the white cloth, revealing the slightly ferocious body inside, and explained calmly:

“For the batch of corpses you sent, the specific autopsy results cannot be produced in a short period of time.

But during the autopsy, I found something wrong with their cause of death, so I asked the girl to call you over. "

The girl that Coward's medical examiner was talking about was Chenelle standing behind her.

"Good job, Mr. Coward."

Luo An nodded and asked:

"Can you introduce the problem you are talking about?"

"The causes of death are different."

Forensic doctor Coward didn't talk nonsense and introduced directly:

"The 12 corpses in the first row on the left all have injuries to their throat bones, indicating that they all died from the same cause, that is, they all suffered from neck compression before death and eventually died of suffocation."

"first row?"

Hearing the words spoken by Kovard's forensic doctor, Luo An's eyes moved slightly and he looked at the second row of metal cars on the right, frowning slightly:

"Did the victims in the second row die from a different cause?"

"It's definitely different."

Forensic doctor Coward nodded, covered the white cloth on the first row of corpses, walked to the second row of metal cars, lifted the white cloth on one of the corpses, and introduced expressionlessly:

“These eight people all have bullet holes in their skulls in the back of their heads, indicating that they were all shot from behind.

In addition, the corpses of 3 of the 8 people were in good condition. The examination found that there were signs of binding on their wrists, and their body movements showed that they were kneeling when they died.

So my students speculated that these eight people should have been kneeling on the ground with their hands tied behind their backs, and someone took a gun and executed them from behind. "

After the introduction of Coward's forensic doctor, Mona, Lacey, and Michelle suddenly looked very ugly, and a not-so-good idea and guess appeared in their minds.

Luo An's expression remained unchanged, he pondered for a few seconds and asked:

"What about the last two people? What was their cause of death?"

"The cause of death of these two people is different from the previous ones."

Coward's forensic doctor chuckled, walked to the last two corpses in the second row, lifted the white cloth and introduced:

“These two men have no problem with their throat bones and no bullet wounds to their skulls.

But the skulls on the back of their heads all showed signs of damage caused by being hit with sticks. "

Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly, nodded and continued:

"You mean, someone took a stick and beat these two people to death in the back."

"The autopsy results haven't been completed yet. I don't know yet whether they were poisoned before their death."

Forensic doctor Coward covered himself with a white cloth and said very strictly:

"I can only say that based on the traces on the body, your conclusion is fine for the time being."

"OK, thank you very much for your help."

Luo An stretched out his hand to shake hands with Coward's forensic doctor, exchanged a few words with him, and led them out of the trace examination department.

After walking into the elevator and pressing the floor button, Luo An pondered for a few seconds and asked:

"What do you think?"

Mona, Michelle, Lacey and Chenelle looked at each other and were silent for a long time. Lacey said first:

"I have a bad guess."

"What guess?"

Lacey swallowed and said:

"We won't encounter two serial murder cases this time, right?"

"..."xN

The elevator was very quiet. Lacey looked around at the expressions on the faces of Mona, Michelle and Chenelle, and asked:

"Do you think the same as me?"

Mona, Michelle and Chenelle looked at each other and nodded. Chenelle crossed her arms over her chest and frowned:

"Most serial killers have their own unique killing methods, and over time, they develop a habit that is unique to them. Some serial killers are even proud of it.

Some of the corpses in the morgue just now died of suffocation, and some died of gunshot wounds to the back of the head. The guy who attacked them was obviously not the same person. "

Without waiting for Lacey to speak, Luo An added:

"Also, don't forget the two victims who were killed with sticks."

The elevator door opened and several people filed out. Mona said with an ugly face:

"So, this time it was actually three serial murders?"

Everyone walked into the office area. When Luo An was thinking about the case, Lacey suddenly said with a strange expression:

"Winslow hasn't come back yet, how about letting him continue searching on the beach?

He just led people to search a small area and found two new corpses.

The beach is so long. If you continue to search a little bit, you may find something new. "

"..."xN

When several people heard this, they looked at Lacey speechlessly. Luoan threw a bag of snacks to her and blocked her mouth. He looked at Chenille and asked:

"You said before that the murderer was found to be very arrogant. What exactly happened?"
