North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 44 Again

To add, in the United States, coroners and forensic doctors are the same role, they both investigate the cause and manner of death and sign the death certificate, but their qualifications are different.

The coroner belongs to the official system inherited from medieval England. The coroner is appointed by the government or elected by the local area, and does not require a medical degree. However, in the United States, quite a few coroners are already served by forensic pathologists. Yes, pursue professionalism.

Forensic doctors are generally appointed by the government as forensic pathology experts, and in some places they are directly recommended by local medical institutions, and a medical degree is definitely required.

Different states have different definitions of coroner system and forensic system. Arkansas is a conservative state and still retains the coroner system, but most states have replaced the coroner system with the legal system.

In addition, there is another point related to population. For areas with a small population, professional forensic doctors are very scarce. They can only establish a coroner system, and then let doctors from the hospital serve as coroners. In this regard, it is actually very difficult. flexible.

The next day, Jimmy and Kag came to the coroner's office together. Dr. Kevin had already left. After he came back yesterday, he did an autopsy and submitted the autopsy report.

According to Dr. Kevin's report, the deceased was 45-48 years old. The fatal injury was a gunshot to the back of the head. There were no other injuries on the body. The fingernails were intact.

Such a simple report basically has nothing to trace.

Kag took Jimmy out of the body and brought his belongings with him. He had no wallet, no ID, and could not confirm the identity of the deceased. This was another unsolved case.

The body is currently parked in the morgue, and the two of them were not interested in seeing it, so they took a copy of the autopsy report back to the police station.

Jimmy was on the night shift last night. The case this morning seemed to be an unsolved case. He didn't bother to work overtime, so he went home to rest and spent two hours of overtime for nothing.

There is no way to do this kind of unresolved case. We can only keep the information and wait for other discoveries later, and then join the case. The county police station has only so few people, and there is no way to devote experience to handling every case.

For Jimmy, it wasn't too exciting. After all, he had already killed a person with his own hands, and the discovery of the corpse wasn't so exciting that he couldn't sleep.

The only pity is that I didn't use my abilities to try to detect the opponent's location when I heard the gunshots yesterday. After the process was over, the person ran away early.

And yesterday, he also discovered the shortcoming of the mind-eye ability, that is, the distance is too close. Yesterday, his observation can only be maintained within a range of about 10 meters. I don't know if it will increase in the future.And it seems that there is only a 180-degree range in front of him. When he was looking around yesterday, he had to turn his head to increase the coverage of the screen.

In the evening, I returned to the police station to be on duty again. During the day, the county police station had already contacted the Little Rock police station. If there was a case of missing persons, they would come to confirm whether the body was a missing person. Other things could not be done for the time being, so Jimmy went to the police station. The bureau didn't stop there, and set off to patrol with equipment.

At around 10 o'clock, the dispatch center notified Jimmy that there were LRPD policemen requesting support near his patrol area. When a firefight broke out, Jimmy pulled the siren and drove over. This kind of support is relatively rare, because the patrol area assigned by Jimmy is in Xiaoshi. The western outskirts of the city, so there will be occasional support operations, and the patrol positions of the other county police officers are a little further outside, and such things are rarely encountered.

Arriving at the destination, Jimmy parked the police car outside, and the two police cars of the LRPD were already in place.

The city police gave an overview of the situation. There was only one old lady in the family. At around 9:[-], someone ran to her house, broke in and robbed her.

The old lady took the jewelry as an excuse, then went upstairs, hid in the bedroom and bathroom, locked the door and called the police. Now the suspect is still in the room. It is not clear whether she has taken the old man hostage.

The suspect had a pistol. When the LRPD personnel arrived at the scene, the suspect fired a shot at the police car from the window on the second floor. It was not clear whether it was the gun he brought or the old lady's gun. The call to the police had been hung up and he was calling back No way.

The city police sent a person to the back of the house to prevent the suspect from escaping. There were 2 policemen in front, plus Jimmy, the total police force was 4, and other support had not yet arrived.

Knowing the situation of the case, Jimmy drew out his pistol, walked around to the side of the house, and checked through the window. The suspect was not on the first floor. He leaned against the wall and activated his mind-eye ability, and black and gray lines began to be drawn in his mind. The space in the house, and then he found two human figures, one was at the corner of the stairs, holding something in his hand, and the other was in a small room on the second floor, leaning against the wall and sitting slumped on the ground, but did not move.

The dark shadow on the second floor should be the caller. It seems that she may have been killed.The figure at the corner of the stairs should be the suspect with the gun.

Jimmy signaled the city police with a flashlight, then raised his finger to point at himself, and then showed the direction to enter the house. Not all police gestures are universal, and Jimmy can only hope that they can roughly understand what he is going to do next, that is, Let them take cover and go in yourself.

Jimmy put the pistol back into the holster, pulled out the M686 on his right leg, moved to the side of the main door, and pushed open the door with a wooden stick he just picked up from the side of the door. It was destroyed at the time, and now it's just a cover-up.

The topographic map in Jimmy's mind was still there. He peeked out a little bit of his head at the door. There was no object blocking the section from the door to the stairs, which was consistent with the topography in his mind. The suspect was near the corner at the halfway up the stairs, and looked Can't see where he is, but Jimmy's pretty sure he's over there.

Jimmy squatted down, then took a quick step towards the room, stepped across the door into the side living room, and quickly hid behind the sofa.The living room was at right angles to the stairs, and the suspect could only see someone coming in, but he had no time to shoot.

The suspect did not expect the police to enter the house like this. Under normal circumstances, the police should shout at him from both sides of the door.Jimmy's sudden movement completely disrupted the suspect's previous plan. He could only come down from the corner of the stairs a little, trying to confirm the location of the police who entered the house.

The suspect moved down little by little, and the muzzle of the gun in his hand moved along the visual tangent of the stairs, checking little by little whether the area in the living room was safe.In the blind spot, the suspect can only show a little of his body and head to see the rest of the place. Jimmy can see all the movements of the suspect in his mind. The moment he shows up, Jimmy shoots, "bang", a shot, The suspect fell to the ground and fell down the stairs.
