Pathology Page #4

What concerns me more, is this discoloration.

Well the blood tests did negative.

Well, a solution of potassium cyanide,

will leave no trace in the blood

or organ tissue sample detectable by standard tests.

Besides the stains on Harper's clothes were 70% plasma.

Most of the blood began coagulation

before exsanguination.

So whether he was moved or not...

majority of the blood remains in the body.

I say we run a post-mortem Chem-7 on his major organs

to evaluate his potassium levels.

You really think he was poisoned?

Six to seven hours before cuts were made to his body

the gunshot, followed shortly after.

You know there was actually gunpowder in the stab wounds.

Didn't anyone else notice?

I agree with Ted.

Signs of livor mortis, algor mortis, rigor mortis,

in the percede external wounds.

It's possible that the poison was injected directly

into the heart, be it the left axle or subscapular regions

or the lungs, be it the intercostal spaces...

enabling the killer to use less of a solution.

This will allow it to go undetected while

still getting the job done.

Lemme get this straight...

Are you proposing

that the man was poisoned with

potassium cyanide

then the killer waited 7 hours,

stabbed him 18 times

and then shot him in the back of the head?

- I realise this is highly improbable.

- That's an understatement.

However, we will explore it.

I will order Chem-7 and we will re-convene.

Ladies, gentlemen.

Nicely done. Might be onto something here.

Hey, meet me here tonight, 9pm.

You truly have a gift Ted.

Wh..What? You gonna bum-poke me?

- Let's go.

- You're late.

This's where you bring all your dates?

Now this wing is over a 100 years old. Obsolete.

If I'd, I'll tear it out and re-built it someday.

So, impress me.

You killed him.

Maybe.

The point is, how?

That is this? A game?

Exactly!

It's a game.

I don't f***ing believe this.

- C'mon get over it, will you.

- Get over it?

There are 6.5 million people

in this city, Ted, trust me

this a**hole will not be missed.

Really?

You can't say he didn't have it coming.

Right?

Yeah, he was not exactly a boy scout.

Is that what you want me to say?

Not exactly a boy scout Ted,

he was irredeemable filth.

That was his grandmother, by the way.

But really, who needs a reason.

We're animals. It's our nature to kill.

Remember?

Why show me this?

I don't know, Ted.

I thought the intellectual challenge

might be of interest to you.

- Was I wrong?

- No. No, I find it extremely f***ing interesting.

Good. So, what's your theory?

I stay to my case.

Potassium Cyanide?

What are you? Some kind of serial killer?

Oh...
