Chapter 279 The Origin of Forensic Science
"I had nothing to do with the old man that day, so I sat across from the child and chatted with him for a few words, until he asked me a question when he left."

"what is the problem?"

"He asked why there were no speculative novels about professional medicine in literary fiction other than professional medical books."

Ye Qing said, with a smile on the corner of his mouth:
"So I told him a story. I think the kid's inspiration for writing a detective novel probably came from that time."

That story is not the same as his helping others.

This story is bloody, it is about a bloody case.

"what story?"

"In ancient times there were forensics, but now there are forensic doctors. In foreign countries, there was only anatomical identification, but no forensic medicine. This story is related to forensic medicine."

When everyone heard the words, their eyes seemed to be shining, and they quietly listened to the old man's narration.

Even Jin Jing and Liu Shengying, who are studying politics and law, are quite interested.

None of them expected that the stories they listened to today would increase their knowledge so much.

"Speaking of this forensic science, I have to bring up a case, which was related to two professors in a foreign university at that time. An extremely rich professor, George, and an extremely luxurious chemistry professor, Walter, who lived without money. .”

"In order to make his life seem extremely dignified, Walt almost makes ends meet every month, even sells his house and car, and often borrows money from George. Because of Walt's repeated Whether to borrow or not, although George is rich, he will not always be taken advantage of, and one day he went to Walt to ask for money. But after asking for money, he disappeared."

"disappeared?"

"It must be that Walt didn't want to pay back the money, so he killed George with evil intentions."

Listening to the old man's narration, several people were surprised for a second, and then they all guessed the reason and result of George's disappearance.

After all, it is a common case to do this kind of borrowing money and not repaying it, but also killing people.

"Yes, everyone thought so at the time. On the day the two communicated, someone saw the two of them in the laboratory. The investigators also had such speculations. The first direction of the investigation was in the laboratory. , but searched and found no abnormality, George's body is no longer in the laboratory. And Walt has always insisted that after talking with George, George left. So they can't convict him, they can only convict him as a suspect."

"The body must have been hidden by Walter."

Peng Yuchang was the first to express his opinion after hearing the words, and then Zhang Zifeng followed suit.

"After the laboratory appeared, I haven't seen it again, and Walt has never been seen to recite any large objects. George should still be hidden somewhere in the laboratory."

"However, there is another possibility. There are so many instruments in the laboratory, and there are a lot of chemicals. The investigators searched and found nothing, so maybe George was decomposed and melted with chemicals?"

Listening to what the two said, Jin Jing pursed her lips and preached.

She also saw many cases during her school days.

It is not uncommon to use chemical agents to kill and destroy corpses.

This Walter is a professor of chemistry, so George probably has no bones left.

"Well……"

"Sister Jin Jing, what you said is a bit scary."

Peng Yuchang and Zhang Zifeng held their arms each, with fear in their eyes.

The way sister Jin Jing said it is really creepy.

"What this girl said is not scary, but the person who can do this is the real horror."

"Old man, is it possible that what sister Jin Jing said is true?"

"Indeed."

Ye Qing nodded and continued to tell a few people:

"When the investigators checked the laboratory, they did not find any abnormalities. After all, the person who knows the laboratory best is Walt. If he wanted to hide the corpse, it would be easy for him. A few days after the incident, the investigators Still without any clue, he decided to observe Walt secretly, if the person was really killed by Walt, he would definitely find a way to destroy the body, which is also a stupid way to wait and see."

"As long as Walt does not have any abnormal behavior, his suspicion will be cleared, and then the investigation will start with other people. After a few days of investigation, the investigator found that Walt's mood is very weird, usually warm and gentle. A person in He's suddenly loses his temper for no reason, especially because he often wanders between the stove and the combustion cabinet in the laboratory, but there is no experimental reagent in the container on the stove, which arouses the investigator's deeper suspicion .”

The old man's words made everyone feel like Sherlock Holmes, especially the juniors who spoke one after another:
"If something goes wrong, there must be a demon."

"That is, the reason why Walt is so abnormal must be because he is afraid. I have seen some cases. People who are afraid in their hearts will worry about what they do being discovered all day long."

"And there is a huge problem in that laboratory. Otherwise, he wouldn't be wandering between the stove and the combustion cabinet. Could it be that he is thinking about burning the corpse?"

"Even if he burns, he can't burn it in the laboratory. If someone breaks in, that Walt shouldn't be so stupid to dispose of the corpse in the laboratory."

Listening to the analysis of the juniors, Ye Qing drank tea leisurely, nodded when he heard the right place, and shook his head slightly when he heard the last sentence.

"Girl Jin is right. Her mood is unstable and her behavior is weird. This shows that this person has something hidden in his heart, and there is panic hidden in his heart. That's why he has become like a bird."

As he spoke, he put down the teacup in his hand, leaned back on the chair, and raised his eyebrows slightly:
"As for the corpse, it was actually processed in the laboratory. After the investigator observed it for a few days, he went to Walt's house secretly, trying to get some clues from Walt's wife. When he arrived In Walt's home, a very foul smell penetrated into the nostrils. The smell is like the stench emitted by some highly rotten items."

"..."

When everyone heard the words, the expressions on their faces became serious.

But the reason why they are dignified is because the stench is not difficult to guess, it must be the smell of rotting corpses.

It was hard for them to imagine, how could Walt and his wife continue to live in such an environment?
The second is because, when Walter's wife smelled this smell, didn't she doubt and ask?

Or is Walter's wife actually an accomplice?
The audience in the live broadcast room also had the same doubts.

"The smell of the dead body is not ordinary. How can Walt and his wife accept this smell?"

"That's right, you can ignore the smell emanating from your own home. Isn't Walt's wife an accomplice?"

"It's also possible. After George dies, their debts won't have to be repaid. This is a great benefit to them."

"Isn't it too cruel to kill people just to pay back the money?"

"When people are pushed into a hurry, they don't know what they did at that moment."

"What are you thinking about? Anyway, it's a foreign matter, and didn't you hear the old man say that forensic science is only available because of this case, so George's death is worthwhile."

"It's a life anyway. Even though we are foreigners, let's stop saying such sarcastic remarks."

"Okay, let's all listen to the story carefully, it's all our own people fighting for."
