Taking the scalpel, Zhou Ning quickly opened the three body cavities, while Zhu Xingxing collected the contents of the deceased's stomach as well as the blood from the heart.
The chyme extracted, Zhou Ning took a moment to identify it closely: there were granular carrots, sliced cabbage, and C- and S-shaped pale yellow noodles—clearly, the instant noodles Liu Meiling had for breakfast that morning. Judging by the state of digestion, this was within an hour after the meal.
As for the liver and spleen, there were no signs of swelling.
Examining the uterus and vagina carefully, Zhou Ning didn't find any fine cuts or scratch marks. The wound above the pubic symphysis, some areas deep enough to reach the pubic bone and others injuring the peritoneum, was explored from the site of the incision, but did not penetrate. Zhou Ning was, in fact, quite puzzled by these injuries.
He couldn't understand the purpose of the assailant doing this; was it just to increase Liu Meiling's pain?
