Chapter 37 The source of the corpse is unknown
As of evening, not all the body parts had been collected. Only dozens more pieces of meat packed in plastic bags were found on top of the original ones.
The meat was already smelly, but whether it was just ordinary bad meat or whether it belonged to the victim would be difficult to tell with the naked eye, and further identification would be required.
"It's more iconic. You can tell at a glance that the problematic hands, feet, and heads are hidden in latex blocks or plush dolls, and the remaining parts are chopped into small pieces and discarded directly?" Brother Song said: "The murderer is so brutal.
You're smart. If the problem hadn't been discovered, he might have avoided it."
"Aren't you stupid?" Su Ping replied calmly, and then asked: "Has the identity of the victim not been found yet?"
"Not yet." Brother Song shook his head: "The director estimated that the deceased should be around twenty-six to twenty-nine years old based on the victim's teeth;
There is a wear groove on the incisor, which indicates that she likes to eat melon seeds or similar nuts. The teeth are slightly yellow and have tar attached to them. She must have smoked for a certain period of time and smoked heavily. In addition, she has dental fluorosis. It is speculated that she drinks water regularly.
Or use toothpaste with high fluoride content.
Based on this information, we searched recent missing persons files, but found nothing. If there were no accidents, the fact that the deceased was murdered and lost contact should not have been discovered yet.
This is quite normal. Some full-time housewives, lonely elderly people and freelancers have less interpersonal contact on weekdays and mostly focus on the Internet. If they suddenly lose news, they will not attract attention in a short period of time.
Haven't there been cases like this in the past? The old man passed away for a long time and his body was already smelly before being discovered. This kind of news reports are not uncommon, but..."
Su Ping waved his hand to interrupt him and said: "Continue to investigate and locate the source of the body as soon as possible. In addition, the deceased's face was not seriously damaged, so we can use this as a clue."
"Yeah." Su Ping nodded.
Qi Yuan struggled for a while and suddenly asked: "Captain Su, I have a question that I can't figure out. Since the murderer deliberately destroyed the fingerprints of the deceased, he just didn't want us to find out the identity of the deceased. Maybe he and the deceased had a relatively large relationship.
Contradiction, once we find out the source of the body, we can locate the victim...
I won’t mention these things for now, but since he doesn’t want us to identify the deceased, why not destroy her face as well?”
"It shows that destroying the fingerprints was not an intentional move by the murderer." Su Ping shrugged: "Or to put it another way, the murderer's purpose was not to destroy the fingerprints and hide the identity of the deceased, but simply to inflict torture.
They say ten fingers are connected to the heart, think about it, use pliers to pull out the nails, and use a file to file the pulp of the fingers..."
Before he finished speaking, Qi Yuan shivered and had goosebumps all over his body: "Isn't this possible? Killing someone without a nod, what kind of deep hatred..."
"It may not be hatred." Brother Song interrupted him, pointed to his head, and said: "Some people have problems here. They are locking up a ferocious beast. Once the cage is opened, God knows how many crazy things they can do."
"Okay, let's not talk about that for now." Su Ping waved his hand: "The first priority is to determine the source of the body. If the missing person is not found here, we will issue a notice to assist in the investigation of the source of the body."
"Understood." Brother Song nodded and went down to do the work.
Qi Yuan wanted to follow him, but was suddenly stopped by Su Ping: "Xiao Qi, wait a moment."
"What's wrong?" Qi Yuan paused, turned around and asked.
"Your mental quality is not very good yet." Su Ping said, "Go help me."
"ah?"
"Don't want to?"
"Uh... no problem." Qi Yuan quickly shook his head, but his face was still hesitant and said, "The question is, how can I help?"
"Assemble the body." Su Ping said: "The body of the deceased must be sewn together. You can help me do it. Just follow his instructions and help with the work. It's not difficult."
"emmm..."
…
Criminal Investigation Detachment, basement level, Forensic Medicine Department.
"Hey, Xiao Qi is here?" Zhong Xin saw him walking into the autopsy room and said immediately: "Just in time, the identification results came out. DNA was extracted according to the chelex100 method, and after identity identification, it was determined that the limbs and other body parts were
It belongs to the same victim, please tell Lao Su and Lao Xun."
"Okay." Qi Yuan nodded, and then expressed his intention: "Well, Director, Captain Su asked me to come back to help you fight and assemble the corpses. See if there is anything I can do to help."
"Huh?" Zhong Xin moved his hands, looked at him, frowned slightly, and said: "We also have more than a dozen interns in the forensic department, we don't need...
Oh, yes, that guy Lao Su always likes to push newcomers to me, saying it's for exercise. He hasn't brought newcomers for so long that I almost forgot about them. Well, you can keep it and take a look at it.
I'll call you if you want to help. If you really want to learn something, you can come over and get started."
Qi Yuan nodded, looked at the autopsy table, and couldn't help but be startled: "Hey, are there suddenly so many corpses?"
"There are two hundred and thirty-two pieces in total, with a total weight of about thirty-seven kilograms. The collection should be almost complete." Zhong Xin replied: "Ninety-two of them have been identified and determined to belong to the victim, and the rest should be
It’s not bad, just do an identity test later.”
"It would be very expensive to conduct DNA identification on so many corpses, right?"
"No, according to the latest method, the cost of the simplest forensic genetic testing is only about 40 yuan, and the results can usually be obtained in three or four hours," Zhong Xin said:
"Besides, identification of identity is not limited to genetic testing. Adding up these corpses, the total identification cost will not exceed a thousand, and it will take about forty-five minutes."
Qi Yuan nodded, and then asked: "But the total of these corpses is only thirty-seven kilograms. I think the deceased should be quite plump, about fifty kilograms, right? There must be at least ten kilograms that have not been found. Why?
Just say that the collection is almost complete?”
"Because the deceased lost a lot of body fluids during the dismemberment process." Zhongxin replied: "Blood, tissue fluid, chyme in the digestive tract, food residues and feces account for a considerable proportion of the body weight. Calculating the body weight of the deceased at 60 kilograms,
It would be good if the total weight of the block is forty kilograms.
In addition, I have roughly seen these body parts, all parts are present, and all the internal organs are included. Even if there are some missing parts, there are not many missing parts."
"I see." Qi Yuan understood, and then asked: "Then, is it time to put the bodies together now?"
"Almost." Zhong Xin said, "We will start working after the trainees have finished eating. Well, do you want to eat something too?"
"Okay." After thinking for a while, Qi Yuan nodded lightly.
He lost his appetite at noon and only ate half of the bun. Now he was really hungry, so he said, "Then I'll go eat something first... Where are you, Director?"
