In North America, you call this a coroner?

Chapter 11 This world is so ugly
Along with the second light point shattered.

A new picture appeared in front of Brian.

For the first time, he saw the reality of single mother Emmaline Keller.

Although this 27-year-old mother is not beautiful in appearance, her soft facial features and the smile that always hangs on the corner of her mouth make it easy for people to feel good about her and think that she is a kind-hearted woman.

The same is true.

on the screen.

Emmaline Keller was wearing pajamas and looked worriedly at the staggering drunken neighbor Andres who appeared in front of her.

She glanced at the second floor hesitantly, and finally chose to help Andres into the room. She thoughtfully poured a glass of water and fed it to Andres before putting on her coat. She seemed ready to go to the neighbor's house to find him. Andres' wife came to pick up the drunk neighbor.

She didn't notice that Andres, who seemed to be full of alcohol, turned his drunken eyes into greedy ones the moment she turned around.
The first screen is broken.

Brian clenched his fists.

He had already guessed what happened next.

Mudd!

Should kind people encounter bad luck?
The other party's experience reminded Brian of his own situation, and he felt strong empathy!

Look at what a good person like yourself has been forced into by life!
With rising anger.

Brian looked at the newly formed second picture:
It seems to be in the bathroom.

Everything has changed.

The gentle and kind-hearted Emmaline Keller, who had always been smiling, now has many bruises and bruises on her face. The coat and tightly wrapped pajamas she originally wore on her body have also disappeared.

She lay on the cold ground, with tears in her eyes, naked, and kept kowtowing to the black figure blocking the bathroom door, her lips moving, as if she was praying to him for something.

The dark shadow is none other than the shirtless Andres.

He tilted his head and leaned on the bathroom door, with a joking expression and ferocious eyes. He seemed to be very satisfied with this feeling of being superior and controlling other people's lives.

Until a vehicle passes by outside.

Andres nodded reluctantly.

See this.

Emmaline Keller wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, glanced reluctantly in the direction of the second floor, bit the towel in her mouth, her trembling and frightened body, lay down on her back, and closed her eyes.
The second screen ends here.

Brian looked at the empty space in front of him after the screen disappeared, and was silent for a long time.

After a long time.

Only then did he let out a long sigh.

He had some vague guesses about the course and details of this case.

But Brian didn't dare to think about it.

Because the details are too cruel!

If it's really what he guessed.

Then it would be too easy for him to easily end the life of this beast Andres!
"Ahhhh!!!"

This suppressed emotion made Brian couldn't help but shout crazily in the white space.

Mudd!

It’s hard to calm down!

Until exhaustion.

Brian was panting and floating in the air, and cursed towards the white space: "Fuck you, I don't know if I have a mental problem, you still use these pictures to stimulate me, let me get out!"

The words fell.

The white space collapsed quickly.

The moment Brian's body dissipated, two light spots invisible to the naked eye merged into his spiritual body.
Jingle bell bell~
The noisy alarm clock rang.

Brian jumped up from the bed and looked around. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the familiar surroundings.

He seemed to have had a dream last night.

wrong!

Brian felt the clear memories in his mind and realized that the white space and the memory of the deceased last night were not dreams!

He remembered correctly.

before leaving.

There are also two ice-cold light spots that merge into his spiritual body.

I feel that my mind seems to be much clearer than before.

Brian was shocked.

understood.

That should also be a gift from the deceased.

But it only affects the spirit.

It's just that the reinforcement is not obvious.

Brian wasn't even sure if his mental power had really been strengthened.

He didn't worry too much about this.

Too lazy to think about it.

Anyway, after more experience in the future, you will know whether it is true.

However, Brian clearly felt that perhaps the heaviness that had been weighing on his heart in the past dissipated with the arrival of Golden Finger. His mood was obviously much more active than before, and his whole person was not as depressed and gloomy as before.

He is more lively.

The numb heart also became active.

It seemed like it had been reborn.

Maybe this is what he really is.

It's about nine o'clock in the morning.

Finished washing.

Brian was fully dressed, kicked open the apartment door that had not yet been repaired, and walked downstairs in high spirits.

洛杉矶市，每天早晨7:00~9:00，下午16:00~18:00，都是交通高峰期。

To save time and use resources efficiently.

The Bureau of Medical Examiners has designed a work and rest system suitable for Los Angeles.

Implement the system of starting work early and leaving get off work early.

例如1天8小时工作制，员工可以早上6:00到单位上班，14:00下班，也可以10:00上班，18:00下班。

Classes are held five days a week and the rules are as above.

You only need to report the schedule for the next month in advance at the end of the month. It is very free.

Because of physical weakness.

Brian always chooses to go to work at 10 am and get off work at 6 pm. He also chooses two days from Monday to Friday as his rest days to avoid the peak visiting hours of medical institutions and to visit his adoptive parents.

Half an hour later.

Bureau of Forensic Medicine.

After punching in, Brian greeted his colleagues enthusiastically, then came to his work station, slowly sipping the poured coffee and flipping through today's newspaper.

Ten past ten.

The superior supervisor summoned everyone from the forensic department to start meetings and work arrangements.

Brian sat directly at the back and touched the fish skillfully.

It is important to mention here the structure of the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s Office.

The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner's Bureau has five departments: Medical Examiner's Division, Legal Affairs Division, Operations Division, Administrative Services Division, and Public Services Division.

At the core, there is only one forensic department.

The remaining four departments all serve the Forensic Medicine Division.

The treatment in the forensic department is also the best.

Brian is a skilled worker in the forensic department.

He rarely goes out into the field.

As for my colleague Thom from last night, he belongs to the Operations Division and is responsible for field work.

The main body of the forensic department is the forensic doctor.

Among them, there are 17 general forensic doctors, 4 senior forensic doctors, 1 forensic supervisor, and 1 chief forensic doctor.

There are 23 forensic doctors in total.

Here in Los Angeles, there was originally a very senior autopsy officer, whose status was equivalent to that of the chief medical examiner.

However, the other party is old and cannot keep up with the various advanced instruments that are changing with each passing day.

So I retired last year.

Back to the topic.

Among 23 forensic doctors.

The chief medical examiner, whose rank is comparable to that of the chief of the Los Angeles Police Department, has a very high status and basically does not participate in front-line work.

The main business of the Forensic Medicine Bureau is usually the forensic supervisor and several senior forensic doctors, who are responsible for assigning cases to the global forensic doctors.

These few rarely participate in ordinary front-line work.

That is to say. In the entire Los Angeles County, the huge business volume is basically handled by 17 ordinary forensic doctors at the bottom.

The entire Los Angeles County has a population of more than 10 million, but the Medical Examiner's Bureau only has so many medical examiners. This is because the conditions for becoming a medical examiner are too harsh.

They need to first complete four years of college engineering, and then four to five years of medical school. After graduation, they continue to go to the hospital to do four to five years of anatomical pathology and clinical pathology residency.

Usually to this extent.

These doctors in their thirties, apart from their inferior status, academic authority, etc., their income far exceeds those of ordinary forensic doctors.

In other words.

Many talents will not choose to change careers when they reach this point.

Only a few, for various purposes, would choose to resign from the hospital and then take a national professional examination.

After passing the exam.

They need to go to the Forensic Medicine Bureau, serve as a forensic pathology intern for a year, and complete more than 250 autopsies before they can become a professional forensic doctor.

What is this concept.

It's equivalent to saying.

From a high school graduate, every step goes smoothly, and it takes at least 13 to 14 years for them to become an ordinary forensic doctor with a monthly salary of more than US dollars by the time they are in their thirties.

Any fool knows how to choose.

Ten talents capable of making it this far.

Nine of them will choose to become a doctor.

Only the remaining one will be transferred to a forensic doctor with lower income, higher academic authority and status.

Therefore, any of those unattractive-looking, mostly bald men in white coats sitting in front of Brian are among the top talents in Los Angeles County.

The meeting lasted about half an hour.

In fact, it is basically formalism.

The core is the worksheet sent by the secretary at the end.

Holding the worksheet in hand, Brian put on a full set of surgical attire similar to that of a butcher in advance, went to the morgue, and pushed the two corpses of victims delivered last night to the designated autopsy room to wait.

About ten minutes passed.

A middle-aged white man with a bald head and a yawn came to the anatomy room where Brian was.

The moment I saw Brian.

The originally listless bald forensic doctor became energetic:

“Brian, are you assisting me in my work today?

This is great!
The second-hand car you introduced last time was good, but a little boring.

Guys, any new resources? "

Brian's mouth twitched under his mask: "Forensic Scientist Henry, let's deal with today's work first."

Bald Henry nodded with some disappointment.

Compared to the cold corpses on the morgue.

He prefers used cars that are warm and welcoming.

"Okay, Brian, I believe you won't let me down, as for today's work."

Forensic Henry yawned: "I received a notice from above that a new department will be established in Los Angeles. The salary is very good. Brian, you need more exercise. Today's work will be completed by you alone. I will be by your side. Look up."

This is an obvious illegal operation.

Forensic Henry did this, obviously in order to obtain the high-quality resources in Brian's hands and chose to take the initiative to show his kindness.

Brian didn't refuse.

Two hours later.

Brian glanced at the female corpse that had been scratched out in a standard Y" shape, and said expressionlessly:

"The deceased was Emmaline Keller, 27 years old, white female.
There were lacerations on the lower body and no semen remained.

The deceased should have been violated before death
There are many signs of chipping on the teeth, which are facing inward due to force. There is no obvious wear. It should be caused by biting some soft objects.

There is a lot of congestion around it.

Before death, the deceased must have suffered a great deal of pain, but instead of shouting loudly, he bit an object to endure the pain, causing excessive force and crushing his teeth.

There are thread-like fiber residues in the gaps between teeth.

The specific ingredients still need to be tested.
But based on the previous analysis, I guess it is a towel.

The cause of death of the deceased was multiple blows to the face with a blunt instrument, resulting in skull fractures and respiratory tract injuries."

Henry, the medical examiner, looked at Brian in surprise: "Man, your growth is amazing. At least in your autopsy analysis, I didn't find any problems. You may really have a chance to join the newly formed department."

In fact, he still had something to say: such as trace analysis.

Brian’s injury analysis just now.

Even he, an old forensic doctor who has been practicing for more than ten years, was a little surprised.

too professional.

It was like seeing the crime scene with my own eyes!
"Forensic Henry, I heard Thom from the Operations Department talking about this yesterday. Can you reveal some information about the new department?"

Brian simply dealt with the scene, took off his gloves, and said casually.

He showed no emotion at Henry's exaggeration.

Make these analyses.

It's just that he knew the result and then reversed the process, cheating.

Henry nodded: "I only know that department, which is under the jurisdiction of the city Z government. It has dual powers of autopsy and solving crimes. The name is borrowed from CSI in New York. You can call it the criminal experiment team."

"Where's the time?"

Brian wrote down a few numbers on the paper and handed them to Bald Henry, the medical examiner.

Henry took the paper with a smile and said cheerfully, "At the end of September, someone will come to the Forensic Bureau to recruit people. I heard that the chief medical examiner is in a bad mood during this period because of this incident."

Brian nodded thoughtfully.

It seems that I still have more than two weeks of buffer time.

in the afternoon.

Had a meal.

Brian came to the empty rooftop, lit a cigarette, and looked deeply at the tall buildings in the distance.

After the autopsy in the morning.

Combined with the death memory scene I saw last night.

He basically determined what happened last night:
The murderer Andres ran out to drink because of a conflict with his wife.

Perhaps under the influence of alcohol.

Andres, who was not drunk, came to the door of his neighbor Emmaline Keller in order to vent his accumulated dissatisfaction. He pretended to be drunk and went to the wrong door. Taking advantage of Emmaline Keller's sympathy, he entered the house. He opened the door and then committed the assault.

Emmaline Keller's three-year-old daughter was sleeping on the second floor at the time.

Perhaps this is the reason.

Andres succeeded easily.

After sin.

Andres did not choose to let the poor single mother Emmaline Keller go.

He wants to kill people and silence them.

Emmaline Keller was worried that after Andres killed her, he would kill his daughter.

She knelt on the ground and begged this pervert who had just committed a crime against her. In order to avoid her screams, she woke up her sleeping daughter and aroused Andres' murderous intention.

Emmaline Keller took the initiative to bite the towel, lay on the ground, and let Andres, a pervert, hammer herself to death with a hammer.

Even if it hurts enough to break your teeth.

This woman didn't even let out a scream until she died...

Long plumes of smoke dissipated into the air.

Brian let the burned cigarette butts burn the skin of his fingertips, breathing heavily, and the afterimage of the blood moon loomed in his eyes.

Even after death.

Emmaline Keller's obsession is not revenge.

She just wants to protect her children
Brian flicked the cigarette butt away, looked at the blue sky above his head and murmured: "This world is so ugly..."

He missed the pleasure of that night when the screwdriver penetrated the flesh and blood.

　A big chapter of four thousand words, Happy Lantern Festival.

　　By the way, a reminder.

　　In the article, the protagonist devours the crystal given to him after his death memories. After waking up, he feels that his numb heart becomes flexible again, as if he is reborn.

　　This paragraph is actually a foreshadowing.

　　Foreshadowing, the cards should not have been shown.

　　But in order to avoid some readers who are quick to read and think that the protagonist in the back does not have that cold air, let me say this.

　　After all, it is about a bloodthirsty forensic doctor, not a serial killer.

　　As for the plot related to the foreshadowing, I won’t spoil it.

　　good night
