A sharp weapon. That definitely rules out a few of her theories, and narrows it down to someone rather than something. Someones she can work with. It's when Conan starts asking for advice that Kate looks back out to the manhole.

"We'll want to preserve the pieces as much as we can. Take them back to the hospital, see if anyone can find any evidence on the pieces themselves." She looks back to the table. "There's a book on autopsies that I saw in the office, if whoever we ask to do this needs references. So far the body pieces are our only lead until we can find someone who knows something, so we'll have to go with that."

As far as the police and court system goes...Kate frowns slightly. It's much simpler trying to solve a case when you know there is a judge, or a jury, who you are trying to convince. But she doesn't know what will be necessary, so it would just be safer to go with what she knows.

"Just make sure everyone is wearing gloves. Bag everything, keep records of where we found it, how. Take pictures. We just need to be able to prove we found what we found where we found it. As far as punishment..." Kate takes another breath, shifting on her feet. "We'll have to figure that out once we get that far."
