The Ark: Reincarnation of Light and Darkness

Yaye walked out of the operating room with an ugly face.

Twelve hours have passed since the massacre, but Severin's interrogation has yielded nothing. All suspects either have no motivation and ability to commit the crime, or do not have the time to commit the crime, or neither have the motivational capacity nor the time.

More importantly, no one can reproduce or imagine that modus operandi.

Therefore, in desperation, Severin could only ask doctors from Rhode Island to perform an autopsy on the body, hoping to explore the truth of the death of the townsman representative from the perspective of forensic science from the clues of some wounds.

As a doctor, Yaye has a duty... What's more, she needs to restore a truth to piece together a fragment that completes the mystery.

However, the truth of the matter is often not as simple as it appears on the surface

【...... Excessive iron content? 】

Severin frowned and carefully glanced at the report from Yaye, and then raised his head to look at the doctor who had just washed the blood on his hands: [It seems that old Salem does not have to worry about his own nutritional problems... But does this have anything to do with our case? 】

[I think you misunderstood the meaning - the iron mentioned in the report does not refer to the trace elements contained in the human body. 】

As if because his report was misunderstood, Yaye's brows furrowed slightly, and his face became worse: [As I marked... The so-called iron content exceeds the standard, in fact, it is better to say that the content of various heavy metals that should not exist in the human body exceeds the standard. 】

After a pause, the girl stepped forward, took the report in Severin's hand, and pointed out several important indicators to the old gendarme: [Generally speaking, long-term exposure to various paints and coatings, mining and smelting or illegal use of illegal drugs will lead to excessive heavy metal content in the body - but this person is different, the heavy metal content in his body is already about sixty times the standard value! ] 】

Severin's brow furrowed.

So what does that mean? 】

[This means that during his lifetime, someone used some method to integrate a large number of metal particles into his body.] 】

Yaye took a deep breath, and then said: [Although judging from the results and wound residues, most of these metal particles have been excreted, but only a small amount of residue is already fatal. 】

[You mean... Salem died of heavy metal poisoning? 】

Yaye shook his head.

[The direct cause of death is indeed excessive blood loss caused by the penetrating injury, and the severe pain also brings shock... There is no doubt about that. But in this way, this method of killing seems a little strange. 】

【...... Odd? 】

[It's as if that through-through way of dying is a ritual that must be completed... Because it had to be done, this old gentleman died like this - otherwise, it is difficult to explain from the perspective of common sense why the murderer can obviously kill people through the most basic methods, but he does so much. 】

In fact, Yaye regretted it a little after saying the last sentence.

Forensic medicine pays attention to evidence-based medicine that uses only theories and skills to solve legal problems, and pays attention to providing corresponding scientific evidence for the case, and her last sentence has been mixed with her own thinking component, which is strictly a kind of reasoning rather than medical argumentation.

It's just that Severin doesn't seem to notice this.

The eyes of the old gendarme were cloudy after listening to Yaye's words, and after a long time, he sighed lightly.

【...... Understood, thank you for your testimony and thank you for your generous assistance. 】

[I just did my duty as a doctor... You know what the answer I want to hear is compared to this. 】

【......】

Looking at Severin, whose face became more and more ugly, but remained silent, Yaye shook his head slightly, determined not to force the troubled old gendarme again.

【...... Don't forget our agreement, I need the truth. 】

After saying the last sentence, the girl turned around and left Severin's room without looking back, leaving only the middle-aged man who was still looking at the report and his hands trembling slightly.

———— dividing line ————

[Mudstone... Something happened at City Hall... Very unusual thing. 】

The scout of the squad walked into the secret camp from outside the door, but his face was very ugly: [Some townspeople have been killed... The method of killing is very strange, and it is not like ordinary people do it. 】

The tall figure turned slightly sideways.

[If I want to say... I'm afraid it's a provocation. Killing people is secondary, and their real purpose is to use panic to stir up hatred between infected people and ordinary people, which in turn causes greater chaos. 】

The one who spoke was a newly joined Leitanian who was originally one of Warlemmud's infected and had a more radical attitude towards the natives than the outsiders of the Mudstone Squad.

The tall figure nodded and shook his head again.

[Compared to people in other places, Laitania has a relatively mild attitude towards infected people... This is unusual for such a move. 】

No one could see the mudstone hidden behind the helmet, but everyone felt a chill.

"I will protect you... No matter who the opponent is. 】
