Avenger's coming back

Chapter 369 Important Clues

When they arrived at the hospital, they went straight to the doctor who had given first aid to Wayne and explained his purpose. Of course, he would not tell the real reason. He just found an excuse.

After that, the doctor found two people who were responsible for sending Wayne's body to the morgue.

Under his lead, the three of them came to the mortuary.

Normally, no one was allowed to come to this place, but Eric persuaded the doctor to let the two take the three of them in.

As soon as they entered the morgue, a cold air rushed over. Eric shivered subconsciously, and so did Ellison. But Hailey didn't react at all. She looked indifferent, as if she had been accustomed to it.

The scene in the mortuary was not very frightening. The middle of the mortuary was very empty. Apart from the two iron frame beds where corpses were parked and which could be pushed freely, there was nothing else. The surface of the surrounding walls were all made of square iron sheets. If one pulled out the grid, it would be a rectangular ice box with corpses inside.

After they entered the corpse room, they stood still aside, because they didn't know which room Wayne's corpse was placed in, so they could only wait for the two people to operate.

The two men dragged a sliding iron frame to a four square iron grid and stopped it. Then they opened it and pulled it out. After carrying Wayne's body out of it and putting it on the iron frame, they pushed it to the middle of the morgue and turned on the light.

The strong white light was on, and only a beam of light shone on Wayne's corpse, which was in sharp contrast to the dim light around him.

After the corpse was placed, the three of them immediately surrounded it, and the two consciously retreated to the side.

Seeing his grandfather's corpse again, Eric felt both sad and depressed, as if a mass of depression was blocked in his chest.

Looking at Wayne's corpse, Ellison didn't show much expression. He was neither afraid nor showed any other emotions. He was always calm.

Hailey was already preparing for work. She tied her long hair into a ponytail, and then took out a pair of plastic gloves from her trouser pocket, which hadn't been opened.

Seeing this, Ellison raised his eyebrows subconsciously and asked in a low voice, "Where did you get this?"

They were on a date before coming here. It was impossible for her to bring it with her?

Hailey glanced at him and said in a low voice, "It's a piece of cake."

After saying that, she deliberately glanced at the two people standing aside, hoping that they did not notice and could not hear.

This pair of gloves was when Eric explained his intention to the doctor, Hailey saw that there happened to be two pairs of gloves on the desk, so she took them conveniently.

In fact, she also wanted to explain it to the doctor, but after the doctor finished talking with Eric, he asked two people to take them to the morgue, so she didn't want to say anything.

Ellison suddenly burst into laughter, but he didn't laugh out loud. Instead, he laughed very affectionately. "I didn't expect you to do this."

Hailey glanced at him lazily and tore open the outer package of the gloves. Her action was very fluent. "I don't have the habit of directly touching the corpse."

Ellison shook his head helplessly and said nothing. He looked at Hailey who was working hard.

At this moment, Hailey had already entered a state of careful observation. She bent her upper body and frowned. Her heroic and palm sized face was full of solemnness.

She started with Wayne's head, first on the surface of his face, then on his ears. She looked up at his head carefully, and then put it back, and then exposed his neck.

After reading these parts, she looked up at Eric and said, "There is no abnormality in the head and neck."

Eric didn't respond.

Then, Hailey lowered her head and carefully observed the part covered by the white clothes. Her eyes swept across Wayne's left hand. The skin on his palm was scraped, and there was solidified blood and fine stones that were not cleaned up.

This should have been worn out when he crawled on the ground for help after he fell. Hailey concluded in her heart.

In order to see more clearly, she picked up Wayne's left hand and kept his fingers in her sight, especially the crack of his nails. According to her investigation of many cases like this, there were often many unexpected findings in the crack of his nails.

Well, the case that Hailey took over… It was really a complicated profession. Back then, she liked detective industry. Regardless of her family's objection, she resolutely chose to run away from home and studied this major abroad. In order not to disappoint her fervent love for it, she almost mastered all the knowledge that the detective needed to learn, except for the autopsy.

Yes, she would do a simple autopsy, but she wouldn't do anything more specific, such as dissecting corpses… If she encountered such a case, she would usually hand it over to a forensic expert for autopsy. She only needed to get the answer from the forensic expert.

With a slight sigh of disappointment, Hailey put down Wayne's left hand, because she didn't find anything unexpected in the gap between his nails.

However, she did not give up, but chose to continue to observe.

After putting down her left hand, she went around to the other side and picked up his right hand. The skin on the palm of his right hand was also rubbed, and the wound was bigger than his left hand. There was mud on his right hand, which meant that when he fell, his hand touched the root of the winter tree in the backyard garden of the Gu mansion, and then there were soil marks on the ground.

Hailey made such a conclusion in her mind, and then her eyes fell on the gap between his fingernails. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

There was nothing but soil in the cracks of her thumb's nails. She was a little disappointed, but the next second, she suddenly raised her head a little. Her eyes suddenly lit up, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised. A somewhat strange smile appeared on her face.

Then she looked at the fingernails of her middle finger, and the smile on her face was even wider. Then she looked at the nails of her fourth finger, and the smile on her face was beyond words.

She looked up at Eric and Ellison and said with certainty, "I think the murderer will be found out soon!"

"What?" Ellison was confused.

"What did you find?" Eric, on the other hand, was much sober. He stared at Hailey with burning eyes.

Hailey held Wayne's right hand and said to Eric, "I found something surprising in your grandfather's fingernails."

"What?" Eric immediately stepped forward and looked at it carefully.

"Look..." Hailey pointed at the fingernails of the three fingers that had found some unexpected clues, "There are skin tissues in the fingernails of these three fingers. See? It's still with blood. It means that your grandfather scratched him when he fell down."

Eric frowned and clenched his fists unnaturally.

Ellison came to his senses and joined them.

"Just now, I saw your grandpa's naked skin without any injury, so he didn't touch the suspect's body. That is to say, he didn't hit the suspect." Hailey analyzed, "So there are two possibilities. The first one is that this person wants to irritate your grandfather. When he saw his illness, he left the scene in a hurry. Your grandfather wanted to catch him to survive, but he broke free, so skin tissue was left in his fingernails."

After that, she took a slow breath and went on, "The second situation is that this person and your grandfather were arguing at the beginning. In the process of arguing, this person got angry and wanted to start, and then your grandfather scratched the other person as soon as he started, and then that person pushed your grandfather down. As soon as your grandfather fell down, he triggered a recurrence of heart disease. The person saw this situation directly and gone."

There was no big difference between the two cases. The key point was that Wayne scratched that person and left a very important clue.

The more he listened, the closer Eric frowned, but he did not speak, staring at Wayne's right hand.

After listening to Hailey's analysis, Ellison asked, "Then we have to take this skin tissue for DNA test now."

"Yes." Hailey nodded and looked at him, "Now you go to the doctor's office to find a small round glass container, and I need a tweezers."

Hearing this, Ellison took a look at Eric, who was lost in thought. He nodded helplessly, turned around and walked out.

Hailey found that there was no need to continue to observe, because the skin tissue in the fingernails had been able to find out the real murderer, not to mention that this was not a particularly big case, she also felt that it was unnecessary to investigate so carefully.

After keeping silent for a long time, Eric finally said, "Collect these skin tissues and find Harry to test the DNA."

Hailey was not surprised at his behavior. He did it just to keep it a secret. If it was tested in other hospitals, it would be easy to leak out.

"Well, it's up to you." Then she reminded him, "But next, what you need to do is to get the skin tissues of the suspects you have locked, or hair with hair bags, and do a DAN test. Only in this way can you be specific to determine who the murderer is."

"Okay." Eric replied in a low voice, "I know."

It was still difficult to get what Hailey said, and they couldn't notice it.
