Chapter 147: Chapter 128: The Female Corpse on the Tree, Autopsy

The body was discovered hanging from a tree branch on the roadside greenbelt of a town.

A young blonde woman, dressed coolly, dangled with her body streaked in black and red blood, eyes wide open, wedged onto a thick branch, her beautiful pupils now a dull grey, as flies crawled over her.

Below the cover of branches and leaves, one wouldn’t easily notice a dead person hanging there if not paying attention.

A few people and a dog stood at the base of the tree.

Tom looked up at the exposed corpse of the woman with a bit of pity, "Honestly, I’ve seen many death scenes, but this unique one is a first for me; she looks really sexy."

The young Green followed with a vigorous nod, "Indeed, very beautiful. From the side, she kind of resembles the actress Angelina Jolie, especially those lips. My God, how could someone bear to kill such a beauty."

Brian was inquiring about the case with the two officers guarding the scene.

The person who reported the incident was a local resident of the nearby town, a little white-collar worker who worked in the city.

On the way home from work, due to a pressing need to pee, the white-collar stopped his car at this slightly more open corner, ready to artificially fertilize the large tree where the dead woman was located.

After peeing, with a gesture full of ceremony, he shook off twice and looked up, making eye contact with the dead woman, and got such a fright that he ran off without even zipping up to call the police.

The site was at a bend in the road, the nearest town being three to four kilometers away, connecting with the city district of Los Angeles, surrounded by a few small farms, with many town residents traveling to the city to buy daily necessities or to work.

It was quite a coincidence.

Otherwise, this body hidden in the tree might not have been discovered for another ten days to half a month.

...

After thanking the two officers, Brian walked to the base of the tree.

The trunk was thick, but only a little over three meters high, with the deceased placed on a branch over two meters up, face-down, eyes wide open, and with viscous dried blood at the corners of her mouth that looked like internal bleeding. However, there was little blood, just a few drops on the trunk.

There was a network of green-grey decayed veins on the dead woman’s face, looking like she was covered with a veil.

This was actually a sign of a corpse that only appeared after a certain time of death.

After a certain period post-death, a large amount of decay gas would form inside the corpse, the pressure of the internal gases causing some blood to be pushed towards the surface of the body, producing decay blisters on the skin. Some of the blood would also enter the subcutaneous veins, forming a network of green-grey decayed veins.

The temperature in Los Angeles was mostly around twenty degrees, suitable and very livable.

In such conditions, it usually took forty-eight hours post-death for the decayed vein network to appear, and after seventy-two hours, if the gases can’t escape, the body begins to bloat...

Looking at the woman’s condition, she hadn’t started to bloat.

Her time of death was likely between 48-72 hours ago.

Tom and Green, these two assholes, upon noticing that the dead woman looked great and was dressed generously, kept raising their heads to discuss her face and body, extremely unscrupulous.

Shi San, not knowing any better, also raised her dog head curiously to observe.

Brian rolled his eyes, "Guys, can we focus on work here, and not corrupt my dog, please?"

Tom shrugged, glanced at the tiny Shi San, pointed at the dog’s head and laughed, "She’s so small, doesn’t even know what a bitch tastes like, what does she know?"

No sooner had the words left his mouth than Tom’s extended finger was covered in dog teeth.

Shi San viciously clamped onto Tom’s finger, hanging by it, emanating a threatening growl, looking adorably fierce.

"Oh~"

Tom yelped with pain, attempting to shake Shi San off, but the dog clung to his finger like a plaster, making the situation more painful with each shake until, grimacing with pain, he turned to Brian for help, "Hey, Brian, get your dog to let go."

Brian spread his arms, "Her name is Shi San, she’s a polite kid. What I mean is, if you apologize nicely, she might let you off."

Tom was somewhat skeptical.

He’d rather kick the little dog away, but to beat a dog, one must watch the owner.

Thus, Tom had to step aside and speak sweetly to negotiate with Shi San.

Seeing this, Brian clapped Green, who was enjoying the scene, on the shoulder, "Buddy, tell me your observation."

Green came back to his senses, instinctively saying, "Very spicy.."

Slap~

Brian smacked him on the back of the head, "I know the deceased is a spicy girl, but continue like this, and I can assure you, my hand’s gonna hurt!"

The pain revived the young man’s conscience.

Green, rubbing the back of his head, articulated anew, "I just checked around the trunk, there are no obvious climbing traces, and no vehicle tracks underneath, the body is voluptuous, the skeletal frame also looks large, she must be heavy. Also, considering the abrasions on her exposed arms and some of the broken branches above in the tree, I suspect she was hit by something and flung up into the tree."

With that, he paused, pointing towards the road before the corner, "What appears most here are cars, but to launch a person this far away while keeping the body intact would require a specific angle and coincidence, and that position would be the most suitable."

After listening to Green’s analysis, Brian nodded.

The kid really had Spiritual, Observation was strong, a promising candidate for a detective.

Just then.

After completing friendly negotiations with Shi San, Tom came over with his finger covered, "Let’s get the body down first, that’ll make it easier to observe."
