This meant the killer hadn’t thrown a punch or kick at these victims.
Next, it was time for the surgery.
Brian’s autopsy left the veteran Autopsy Officers, who hadn’t seen him in action before, utterly astounded.
It was incredibly smooth!
The tenacity of human tissue is very strong.
Skin and flesh, flesh and bone, as well as various biological tissues and fat between them, seemed to be effortlessly split under the scalpel, yet it was this that truly showcased a person’s dissecting prowess.
With just a simple two motions of Brian’s scalpel-holding hand, the corpse’s skin parted as if peeling away on its own, exposing the maximum view, clearly revealing the rib cage, various tissues, and internal organs.
Professionals are recognized as soon as they make a move.
A simple opening up of the torso revealed Brian’s familiarity with the human body and his precision in controlling force!
Without decades of surgical experience, it simply couldn’t be done!
After the internal organs were scrutinized,
Brian also didn’t find any signs of internal injury or poisoning in these bodies, and there was no scent of poison or the like in the air.
Except for the heart.
The hearts of these victims, as well as the surrounding blood vessels, mostly had traces of minor damage.
This condition was typically caused by the heart overworking for an extended period.
Simply put, it matched the previous conclusion of the elderly black Autopsy Officer regarding the cause of death of the previous body: scared to death.
After completing the autopsy inspection of all bodies, Brian also felt somewhat stymied.
These victims had died too cleanly.
So cleanly that it seemed as though the victims had willingly cooperated, scaring themselves to death?
Could there really be such a thing as a "Magic Flute"?
How exactly had the killer done it?
..
Body fluid tests required time.
These were tests Brian planned to delegate to official agencies.
They weren’t his forte.
After some thought,
Brian changed his gloves and approached the corpses of two male security guards, beginning to examine their personal belongings.
Both security guards had been armed.
Their equipment was also very comprehensive, no worse than that of the police, whether it be firearms or other gadgets.
The bodies of both men had clearly defined muscle lines, and their hands were full of calluses, indicating they were elite operatives who maintained high-intensity training daily.
Even though Brian was unfamiliar with security circle particulars, he knew these two were elites in the field, and might even have received military training and seen combat.
Such individuals typically possess strong psychological fortitude, at least much stronger than that of the average person, and they would likely react much more quickly to danger.
However, according to the scene, they hadn’t even drawn their guns.
This too was an inconsistency.
Without finding useful leads, Brian wasn’t in a hurry.
He first carefully examined the clothing of the two security guards before turning his attention to the remaining female body.
The woman was a staff member from the campsite, apparently in her forties, with kind-looking eyes, but her face’s twisted expression in death had utterly destroyed that kindness.
Her body was slightly overweight, with her chest sagging severely...
Hmm?
Brian’s gaze suddenly sharpened.
He reached out and lifted the left side of her sagging chest to examine the skin beneath.
There were numerous small bumps under the skin where the chest had sagged.
Heat rash.
Heat rash, also known as prickly heat, usually results from sweat trapped by heat and humidity, eventually leading to blisters or inflammation of the skin.
This condition is more common in children, particularly in Hua Country.
Elders there like to wrap children up snugly, and when the weather turns hot, heat rash tends to break out.
But this was Los Angeles.
The woman was an adult, and judging by the sagging shape of her chest, she belonged to the category that disliked wearing "ominous" bras, and she wore a short-sleeved top with good ventilation.
This meant she didn’t have the conditions for developing heat rash.
Unless...
Brian thought of a possibility and quickly grabbed the woman’s clothes.
She was wearing a short-sleeved dress with seamless V-shaped panties underneath, no safe boxers, and a short-sleeved dress on top—looking dignified from the outside but cool on the inside.
This was the style of a demure middle-aged Caucasian woman.
Of course, that wasn’t Brian’s main focus.
He meticulously examined the traces on the woman’s dress sleeves and the chest area.
Upon closer inspection, he indeed found something!
He stroked the material around the chest and then the material directly over the chest, frowning in puzzlement.
Thinking for a moment,
Brian waved over the black elderly Autopsy Officer, who was attentively observing his actions:
"Feel this.
I suspect something was hanging on the victim’s chest before she died, but I’ve found no such marks on her skin.
What do you think the killer did?"
The Autopsy Officer nodded, stretched out his hand, and felt where Brian had just touched.
The sides of the dress fabric showed no abnormalities.
However, when he touched the chest area of the dress, he discovered a rough texture: This was the feeling of internal fine fibers on the surface of the clothes being pulled up by an external force, causing a raised sensation.
He pondered for a moment, somewhat uncertain:
"There are no special marks on the sides of the dress, indicating it wasn’t regular transparent tape.
It feels somewhat like the impression left by high-quality double-sided adhesive tape, but I can’t find any residue that would be left behind by such adhesive.
Pure double-sided tape would have difficulty maintaining something even slightly heavy stuck to material like this dress, and it’s also unusual that there would be no residual material."
