【Intermediate Forensic Expert. Ye Tian Ming】
A golden plaque, freshly hung, adorned the door of the office.
Inside the office.
Ye Tian Ming sat in his chair, one hand propping up his chin, seemingly gazing at the computer screen, but in reality, his mind was far away.
Last night, unable to sleep, he had been pondering how to better utilize this Crime Eradication System.
The system's purpose was to eliminate evil, and releasing criminals would grant him random skills!
But wasn't the definition of a “criminal” too broad?
What constituted a criminal?
Did spitting on the ground qualify?
Did littering qualify?
Or perhaps;
Only those who committed murder and arson were considered criminals?
"Maybe I can try it on some gangsters first."
Ye Tian Ming thought to himself.
Speaking of criminals, in this era of Hong Kong, the first thing that came to Ye Tian Ming's mind was gangsters.
Combining his understanding of this world over the past few days.
Ye Tian Ming felt he wouldn't lack experimental subjects.
This Hong Kong was clearly a fusion of the worldviews from various previous Hong Kong films.
Not to mention.
Just the “Big B” he released last night was a character from the Young and Dangerous series.
Since there was Big B, then there must be Chan Ho Nam, Mountain Chicken, and the rest.
And Ye Tian Ming also knew that among the major gangs in Hong Kong, there was indeed one called Hong Xing, and it was very influential.
Plus;
His two colleagues.
Gu Ze Chen and Wen Jia Xi.
They were both characters from the previous Forensic Heroes series.
All these signs indicated that this world was quite chaotic!
At least in Ye Tian Ming's eyes, it was.
"No more thinking, I'll just find a troublesome gangster tonight to test it out."
Ye Tian Ming snapped out of his daze and called out to the office door, which was being knocked on:
"Come in."
Click!
The door opened, and Gu Ze Chen stood at the doorway, waving at him.
"Let's go, there's a case."
"What happened?"
Ye Tian Ming stood up and walked out of the office, casually asking.
"Sent here in the middle of the night, a gangster, stabbed to death on the street."
Gu Ze Chen handed him the documents.
Ye Tian Ming flipped through a few pages before closing them.
He hadn't expected to see Big B so soon again.
Only this time it was on the autopsy table of the forensic department!
Autopsy room;
Ye Tian Ming had already changed into his white coat, and after disinfecting himself at the door, he put on gloves, a mask, and then approached the autopsy table.
On the cold autopsy table, lay the body of an adult male.
The body had at least two dozen stab wounds.
The most severe one was in the abdomen.
It was a wound almost twenty centimeters long, with the intestines protruding!
It was dark last night, so Ye Tian Ming hadn't taken a closer look.
Now in the autopsy room, Ye Tian Ming realized that Big B was truly tough.
With such severe injuries, he could still escape?
Such a strong will to live?
Unfortunately, he died in the end.
And his death was somewhat ridiculous!
"You do it or I do it?"
Gu Ze Chen had also changed his clothes and entered, asking Ye Tian Ming.
"I'll do it, after all, it's my first day of promotion, give me a chance to show what I can do."
Ye Tian Ming said.
Then he began to work.
While Gu Ze Chen picked up the record sheet next to him, turned on the recorder's recording function, and began to record the autopsy process.
"The deceased is male, 1.82 meters tall, weighing 89.5 kilograms, with a strong physique, judging by his appearance, he should have been exercising regularly."
Ye Tian Ming first circled the autopsy table, observing some of the surface conditions of the body.
"There are 27 stab wounds on the deceased's body, the most severe one is on the neck, which directly severed the deceased's carotid artery."
"However, this wound on the neck was inflicted after death, while the rest of the wounds were inflicted before the deceased's death. This one on the neck was likely a finishing blow."
"As for the true cause of the deceased's death, it was a puncture wound on the back of the head."
"By the way, are there any photos of the scene?"
Ye Tian Ming turned the deceased's head to the side, parted the hair on the back of his head, revealing a penetrating wound.
"Here."
Gu Ze Chen took a folder, opened it, and inside were photos taken at the scene.
"It seems I'm right, this fatal wound on the deceased was caused by a steel bar exposed on the wall."
"I believe the deceased was lying on his side on the ground, and someone kicked him hard in the face, causing his head to strike the exposed steel bar, resulting in a skull fracture and instant death!"
Ye Tian Ming gestured on the spot with a side-lying posture, then began to examine the rest of the body.
Soon;
The inspection was complete.
It could be confirmed that the deceased died from the penetrating wound on the back of the head, but even if that injury hadn't occurred, with so many stab wounds on his body, the amount of blood loss alone would have killed him soon.
"Another gangster brawl, those gangsters don't know when they'll ever settle down."
The autopsy room's changing area.
Ye Tian Ming and Gu Ze Chen were washing and changing clothes.
"Who knows, maybe not until the end of the world."
Ye Tian Ming joked.
Gu Ze Chen also chuckled in response.
"Free tonight?"
Gu Ze Chen asked.
"What, you're treating me to dinner?"
Ye Tian Ming said with a smile.
"Yeah, treating you to dinner, and I'll introduce you to a new colleague."
"New colleague? Male or female?"
"You'll find out later."
Seeing Gu Ze Chen being so mysterious, Ye Tian Ming simply smiled and said, "No problem," and then they each returned to their offices to take care of other matters.
The work of a forensic expert wasn't exactly leisurely.
Especially since Hong Kong was currently so chaotic.
Almost every day someone died from non-natural causes.
Either murder or gangster skirmishes.
In short;
For the entire day, Ye Tian Ming, apart from daydreaming in the morning, had been busy with work matters.
When it was time to get off work in the evening, because Gu Ze Chen had invited him for dinner, Ye Tian Ming didn't clock out immediately.
"Let's go, I'm taking your car today."
Ye Tian Ming knocked on Gu Ze Chen's open office door and said.
"Where's your car?"
Gu Ze Chen put on his jacket, walked out, and asked in confusion.
"I left it at the bar, I didn't drive it back last night."
Ye Tian Ming explained.
He could have called a driver, but last night there were so many things happening that he ended up going home in a daze.
Only after arriving did he realize that he had left his car at the bar.
But it was fine, he could go get it tonight.
After all, his car wasn't anything fancy.
Just an ordinary car for commuting, hopefully it wouldn't be targeted by car thieves?
