Thanks to the work of the frogmen team, the victim's body was quickly recovered.

Qi Yuan followed Su Ping forward and saw the body wrapped in quilts, with ropes tied to the feet, waist and neck, and tied together with the barbell.

Su Ping knelt down and opened a corner of the mattress, revealing the hideous and terrifying face of the deceased.

Qi Yuan quickly glanced at the corpse's face, then quickly looked away and looked at the rubber-coated barbell tied to the corpse.

Su Ping only took a brief look and did not touch the body much, so as not to affect the subsequent forensic autopsy.

Soon he stood up, looked at Qi Yuan, and asked, "Do you have any ideas?"

"First of all, the corpse has long and thin hair, so it should be a female corpse." Qi Yuan thought for a while and said: "Secondly, this barbell is a bit strange. The number of bars on the left and right ends of the barbell is different. There are five at the foot and five at the head.

Then there are only three pieces.

Moreover, the order of the barbell plates is messy, not from large to small or small to large. Among them, the barbell plates at the foot end are 10 kg, 7.5 kg, 12.5 kg, 5 kg and 7.5 kg from the inside to the outside, and the head end is two

A 12.5kg barbell plate holds a 5kg barbell plate.

Based on this, I think the murderer must have been in such a hurry and nervous manner when dumping the body that he did not bother to install the barbell properly, and put all the barbell plates on top of the body together with the body wrapped in quilts.

Once they were tied up, they were thrown directly into the sea."

"Yeah." Su Ping nodded lightly: "The person who dumped the corpse has a weak psychological quality and should have no previous killing experience. This is one thing, and what else?"

"Also..." Qi Yuan endured the discomfort and stared at the corpse's face for a long time, then continued: "Judging from the victim's face, the corpse has turned into a decayed giant.

His face was enlarged, his skin had an obvious dirty green color, a large area of ​​epidermis was peeled off, his hair fell off, his eyes were glaring and protruding, the tip of his tongue protruded out of his mouth, and his upper and lower lips were everted into a funnel shape.

There were obvious fish pecking marks on the forehead and cheeks of the deceased, resulting in a certain degree of damage to the skin and muscles. The most serious parts were the jaw and frontal bones.

Considering that the area where the body was found is close to the coast, and there are a large number of cages pulled up by farmers further away, the number of wild fish in this sea area should be very small, combined with the decomposition process of the body and the degree of being pecked

, it must have been more than a week since the deceased’s body was buried.”

Su Ping glanced at him unexpectedly and asked, "Do you still know about autopsies?"

"I know a little bit," Qi Yuan explained: "During college, I went to the Forensic School to attend a few classes, and I also went to the library to read monographs on this subject, but I only understood some theoretical things and had no chance to practice them."

"Very good." Su Ping nodded approvingly: "If you want to be a good criminal police officer, in addition to your professional investigation, you should also be involved in other aspects."

As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his head again and said with a smile: "Lao and Xiaochai are here... Well, let them in, let them in."

"Team Su." Several people greeted Su Ping and immediately divided their work.

After taking a few photos, the old man used scissors to cut off both ends of the knot, grabbed the knot in his hand, looked at it carefully, and said: "The murderer used an '8' knot. This kind of knot,

Ordinary people can't fight."

Qi Yuan was very interested in this aspect and couldn't help but ask: "Director, what's the significance of this knot?"

"No." The old man shook his head: "Actually, the '8' knot is the simplest among many professional knots. You can learn it once you learn it, but ordinary people will not learn it. After all, in life, everything is easy to do.

Just tie it twice, or at most a bow, to cope with most situations.

Of course, compared to bow knots and ordinary rope knots, the advantages of the '8' knot are also quite obvious. The most important point is that the two rope ends connected by the '8' knot are very strong and very strong. The disadvantages are

It is not easy to untie after being subjected to high-intensity force.

In a corpse burial case like this, it is indeed quite practical to use an ‘8’ knot to secure the corpse and heavy objects.”

With that said, he put the knot into the evidence bag and completely opened the quilt.

A strong stench spread instantly, causing many police officers to instinctively take two steps back and wrinkle their noses.

"Sure enough, the corpse has become a corrupt giant." The old man tutted and said: "The corpse was not wearing any clothes, it was a naked corpse, female, and it is difficult to judge the age for the time being. I can only confirm that she must be an adult.

Hmm? About three millimeters below the sternoclavicular joint, there is a relatively obvious dividing line on the horizontal plane. The skin color at the lower end of the dividing line is relatively darker and reddish, while the skin color at the upper part is obviously much lighter..."

After hearing this, Su Ping rolled his eyes and asked, "Is the difference in skin color caused by the difference in temperature?"

"It's very possible." Lao said, "If the area below the dividing line is in a higher temperature environment and the skin blood vessels expand, there will indeed be an obvious dividing line.

However, the degree of decomposition of the corpse was too high and it had been soaked in sea water for a long time, otherwise, the dividing line would have been more obvious."

Qi Yuan was a little puzzled and asked: "Under what circumstances would the temperature of one part of the body be high and the temperature of the environment in the other part be low? She was not dismembered..."

Su Ping glanced at him sideways, curled his lips and said, "Why, haven't you ever soaked your feet?"

"Uh... I understand." Qi Yuanyi. He just didn't think about it for a while, but he was not stupid. After Su Ping reminded him, he immediately asked: "So, when the deceased was killed, his body was

Soak in hot water?"

"Accurately, the deceased should have been killed while taking a bath." Lao said, "No one would put the deceased into hot water after killing someone, and then fish him out and sink him into the sea."

Qi Yuan thought thoughtfully: "So, there was a bathtub at the crime scene? The deceased died in the bathtub?"

"It should be." The old man nodded, continued the autopsy, and said:

"There are two obvious injuries on the surface of the corpse. They are both sharp injuries and cuts. One is on the left wrist, and the other is on the neck. Starting from the left neck and ending in the middle of the neck, the left is high and the right is low. The carotid artery of the deceased.

The radial artery was ruptured, and the cause of death was initially presumed to be hemorrhagic shock."

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but chuckled and muttered: "In murder cases, simple incision is not common. It is usually slashing or stabbing, unless the deceased has lost the ability to resist...

Moreover, small skin flaps can be seen on the wound edges of the left wrist and neck, and there are fine, superficial cuts near the wound close to the direction of the main wound. This is a typical trial wound, and there are multiple wounds at the corners.

Small wounds and continuous drag marks are typical signs of suicide.
