When they arrived at the funeral home, Chen Shu and Xiao Ming carried the body onto the autopsy bed.
Xiao Ming was young and moved the corpse very neatly, and there was no hint of disdain on his face.
He is a good prospect. Chen Shu, who is nearly 30 years old and has been working as a police officer for nearly ten years, unknowingly started to think about the older generation of police officers scrutinizing new comrades.
Chen Shu, who was wearing disposable latex gloves, helped to take the body out of the body bag and arrange it on the bed.
Then began to take off the clothes and pants from the body.
Now that he was getting closer, the shocking visual impact and the tangy sour smell, along with the sticky touch on his fingers, made him admire Xiao Ming's expressionless expression.
Julie hung her coat by the door, took out the white robe and put it on her body. She put on a layer of latex gloves and said: "The corpse wax has not formed, and the body parts have not decomposed and swelled to a great extent. The time of death should be around
Within a month.”
Xiao Ming put the clothes and pants that the body had taken off into a transparent evidence bag, and then took out a folder pad from under the bed with a stack of table-style A4 paper sandwiched on it.
He lowered his head and began to record: "Director, I thought that the absence of the head would be equivalent to a big ventilating hole in the body, and there would be no giant view!"
This was professional knowledge, and Chen Shu didn't quite understand it. He pricked up his ears and looked at Zhu Li.
Julie put on the second layer of latex gloves and said calmly: "Not to mention such a big corpse, even the individual limbs, trunk and head can create a giant look. This is because these corpses can produce certain cavities due to decay.
The trapped gas in the cavity can cause the corpse to expand. From the outside, it looks like a giant."
Since the body is missing its head, many clear-cut data have to be obtained through other methods. For example, height, which could be obtained by simply pulling a measuring tape, now has to be calculated by measuring the arms, calves, soles of feet, etc.
The height of the deceased is not necessarily accurate.
The autopsy continued for more than an hour, during which time the captain of the Criminal Investigation Brigade, Ren Guoqing, came over with Li Meng, Wen Zhao and other police officers from the Serious Crime Squadron.
Generally speaking, the principals of business units will not be involved in specific case handling work, but murder cases are really special. Not to mention the team leader, sometimes the deputy director in charge will come to the scene to take command.
Ren Guoqing walked in and saw that Chen Shu was there. He was stunned at first, and then thought about it when he thought that today happened to be a weekend break. Chen Shu and Zhu Li were also wearing casual clothes, and he felt a little bit better.
Then he looked thoughtfully at the two people who were working on the anatomy table.
In the Criminal Investigation Brigade, Li Meng was the deputy captain in charge of serious cases. At this time, when he saw that the corpse had been placed on the bed and the autopsy began, he naturally understood that this corpse must be involved in a murder case.
An autopsy requires the consent of the family, unless it involves a homicide.
Li Meng, who originally wanted to act like a deputy captain, took a closer look at the presence of his classmate Chen Shu and Zhu Wuchang from the team, so he calmed down a bit and stood aside obediently waiting for the autopsy results.
After the autopsy, Zhu Li gave a preliminary conclusion: "Male, about 60 years old, 1.7 meters tall, estimated to have weighed about 140 kilograms before death. There were seven penetrating injuries with sharp objects near the left chest, including three stab wounds.
At the heart."
Zhi!
It was indeed a murder!
Ren Guoqing and Li Meng's expressions suddenly became stiff. Although they had been prepared in their hearts, they still felt a little uneasy when they heard the exact result.
Xiao Ming, who was in charge of recording, raised his head and asked: "Director, the cause of death is cardiac arrest caused by a sharp instrument penetrating the left chest? The method was to kill and throw the body into the river?"
I don't know where the head is, so I still can't determine that the cause of death is the heart. Chen Shu, the only non-criminal police officer present, immediately thought of the suspicion, but he didn't say anything.
Zhu Li was noncommittal. She placed her left hand on the edge of the anatomy bed and walked clockwise around the headless cervical vertebrae of the male corpse. She leaned over and said: "There are obvious marks of sharp cutting on the cervical vertebrae of the corpse. It should have been cut with a knife or axe."
Caused."
"Kill and dismember the body?" Ren Guoqing couldn't help but take a few steps forward and followed Julie's gaze to carefully examine the unknown man's corpse lying on the autopsy bed.
Chen Shu raised his eyebrows: "Ren Da, have you ever seen a corpse cut into one head? Compared with this head that was thrown away somewhere, I think these wounds are more worthy of our attention."
"oh?"
Ren Guoqing, a veteran detective for many years, did not feel dissatisfied with Chen Shu's shameless questioning and focused his attention on the numerous wounds on the left chest of the corpse.
After pondering for a moment, Ren Guoqing pinched his chin and said: "You mean that so many stab wounds are all concentrated in the heart, indicating that the murderer had a deep hatred for the deceased, so he stabbed him repeatedly?"
Seeing many classmates from other units showing up in front of his senior classmate, and still showing off in this fishing way, Li Meng felt extremely uncomfortable. He snorted coldly: "Chen Shu, all the three-year-olds in our brigade know this kind of thing, you
There is no need to deliberately bring it up to waste everyone’s time.”
Chen Shu didn't pay attention to the smell of gunpowder in Li Meng's words. He placed his hands on the corpse's left chest and stared directly at the corpse's chest.
Slowly lowered.
Then closer and closer, closer and closer.
until,
"Chen Chen. Big, your nose is swollen!"
Xiao Ming, who had not said much since the leader of the brigade came over, finally couldn't help but run out of the house and hold on to the door frame while retching when he saw Chen Shu's nose almost touching the body.
Unaware, Chen Shu squinted his eyes, took the small scalpel on the side, and used the tip of the knife to slightly open the wound.
The wound was changed, and the head was lowered a bit.
Li Meng's expression froze and he complained: "Ren Da, he is not from our Xingda University. Ren Da, what are you doing here?"
Ren Guoqing was curious and followed Chen Shu while holding his breath while staring at Chen Shu, checking the wounds on the body one by one.
"call!"
Chen Shu, who was holding his breath and staring intently, stood up straight and said firmly: "Ren Da, the edges of all the wounds are smooth and the insides are also very regular. This is very strange."
Detective Wen Zhao walked up to Xiao Ming, took the form he filled out, and handed it to Li Meng.
Li Meng read it from beginning to end and snorted again: "How many times have you seen knife wounds at the police station? Now it's a set of tricks. This is a murder case! Don't show the tricks you used in public security cases. Be careful.
Shameful."
This was a bit too much, but as Li Meng said, this case is a murder case and should not be careless in the slightest. Ren Guoqing also had doubts in his heart, but as the leader, he still knew not to express his position too early, otherwise there would be a fight.
face risks.
After all, Chen Shu had been through a slippery slope, and he had the illusion of reaching out to him.
"Wait, don't talk yet."
Chen Shu had previously had an idea in his mind, but was constantly disturbed by the verbose Li Meng, and suddenly lost his direction. Now, no matter how hard he thought about it, he just couldn't grasp this point.
He frowned and thought for a while, and just when he was about to say something, Julie quickly walked to the cabinet on the wall, opened the door, fumbled for some small items inside, and then walked to the anatomy bed.
Following the habit of handling cases in NX some time ago, Zhu Li had been following Chen Shu's thinking, so when the other party raised doubts about the wound, she reacted immediately due to her years of forensic experience.
Although Zhu Li didn't know what Chen Shu was thinking, she knew that her assistance this time would definitely help him.
Chen Shu just lacks forensic knowledge and criminal investigation experience. In terms of investigation ideas, he must be the best among everyone present!
Julie is so determined.
Everyone's attention was focused on Julie.
She was seen calmly and steadily inserting the small metal pieces in her hand into the wounds on the left chest of the corpse one by one.
After the small metal piece came to rest, it was at right angles to the corpse's chest.
