Chapter 69: Searching for someone
National Forensic Medicine Text Volume Chapter 69 Searching for Persons The rain outside the window was still pouring down, and multiple teams of criminal police officers were already driving to various hospitals under the watchful eye of cameras.
The gloomy sky, the pouring rain, and the unyielding back made the photographer very satisfied. While taking pictures, he said to Huang Qiangmin who was waiting in the hall: "This set of photos, if you give them a beautiful name, the publicity effect will be full." ”
Huang Qiangmin twisted his neck when he heard this, then looked at the photographer's profile and said slowly: "Following photography should be better."
"Huh? Well...actually the photos taken are enough..." The photographer listened to the patter of rain outside the window and quickly smiled a little prettier.
"Go ahead and join the group from Qinghe City to take more photos for publicity." Huang Qiangmin handed him a raincoat and watched him walk out of the door and into the rainy scene.
News from the front line is constantly being passed back, which is a mixture of joy and sorrow.
The good news is that laser tattoo removal in various hospitals is documented, and if you search carefully, you can usually determine the location of the tattoo. The bad news is that no records matching the deceased have been found in any hospital.
Liu Wenkai, captain of the Second Squadron, was searching for information in the office of Qinghe First People's Hospital.
Qinghe City is the administrative seat of Qinghe District. If people from Ningtai County have any serious problems, they will give priority to Qinghe City for medical treatment.
The distance between the two places is not far, it is dozens of kilometers away. If you have a car, you can get there quickly, and there are many public transportation routes. At the same time, Qinghe City also has the Taihe River passing through it and is an upstream city of the Taihe River.
Of course, there are many people who go to Changyang City for medical treatment from Ningtai County, but there are too many hospitals in Changyang City, and it is not easy to check. Liu Wenkai’s idea is the same as Huang Qiangmin’s. It is better to go to Qinghe City and Ningtai locally first. After searching for the hospital, I really couldn't find it. It would not be too late to go to Changyang or even further upstream cities to find a way.
Liu Wenkai sat next to the computer, scratching his head anxiously as he watched the doctor trace the cases all the way back to the year before last but still couldn't find them.
"Can you search for keywords like 'legs' or 'Fengshi point'? Find out everything that has been done before?" Liu Wenkai helped with ideas.
The doctor glanced at him and said, "You could help us make this kind of software."
"Then your software is too backward." Liu Wenkai complained, and then said: "Don't miss it, take your time and take a look."
"Aren't you in a hurry again?"
"Urgent, why aren't you in a hurry? When did you find out?"
"It's the New Year's Eve soon. Around the Chinese New Year, there's a lot of tattoo removal."
Liu Wenkai's expression became more solemn. The forensic doctor determined that the age of the deceased was 23-25 years old. Counting three years forward, that is 20 to 22 years old. When it comes to tattoo removal, the probability is obviously lower the further forward. He has been a detective for so long that he knows what types of tattoos minors have. A man with a fist-sized tattoo on his thigh. It doesn’t look like the style of a minor’s tattoo.
"Maybe it wasn't done in our hospital. Nowadays, there are many places for tattoo removal, and some beauty salons also do it..." The doctor said while searching.
Liu Wenkai said: "The forensic doctor judged that it was quite clean."
"Oh, it might have been washed in the hospital. However, it may not have been in our hospital."
"We are looking for him in every hospital. Please look around. If you really can't find it, then let's talk about it." Liu Wenkai suppressed his temper and said good things. Of course he knew that there was a possibility that he might not be found. In fact, it was impossible to tell whether the deceased died in Ningtai County.
But for them, there is no point in gambling, they can only investigate each house first.
The doctor was tired of checking, so he muttered while searching: "Actually, some beauty salons now can also wash it. The main thing is that whether it can be washed cleanly has a lot to do with the pigment used in the tattoo, black and dark blue Colors can generally be washed clean, but those mixed with pigments are particularly difficult to wash. It also depends on your personal constitution. I have seen people who wash it just once, and others who wash it ten or twenty times, and the result is still the same. No, in the end, those who couldn’t hold on, and those who had scars, the tattoos were washed off, and the scars appeared..."
As the doctor spoke, his speech slowed down and his movements stopped.
Liu Wenkai stood up sensitively and walked over to take a look.
"Let's see if it looks like it." The doctor clicked on the profile picture of a file.
Liu Wenkai didn't tell him that there was only half a body, and he didn't say anything at this time. He only said: "Look at the tattoo first."
The doctor then found another photo.
Sure enough, on the right side of the thigh, there is a string of English letters, still in cursive characters, strung together in a dark ball.
Judging from the location alone, he should be alone.
The doctor took a closer look and read out: "i-believe. I believe?"
"What do you believe?" Liu Wenkai asked.
"You don't know what to believe. If this counts, it's a tattoo that was done two years ago." The doctor took out the file, printed it out and gave it to Liu Wenkai, saying: "This should be a random tattoo from a tattoo shop on the street. The quality is not high. .”
He is someone who often sees tattoos, so he has a relatively professional opinion.
Liu Wenkai nodded slowly, then took out his cell phone and said, "I'll call, thank you."
As he spoke, he made a call on his cell phone.
"How's it going?" Huang Qiangmin also answered the phone quickly.
"We found it. The deceased's name is Zhou Lei. He is 24 years old. He has an ID number. I haven't seen it yet. I will send it to you later..." Liu Wenkai was quite excited.
For such a case, determining the identity of the victim can be said to be a huge staged victory.
Most similar cases can be solved with a high probability if you follow the victim's relationship network.
Well-designed cases are, after all, rare. Even if the perpetrator designs an ingenious way of inflicting harm, there are very few murderers who can execute it with integrity. There are even fewer accidents in the middle.
Liu Wenkai's impression was that those old hooligans who often came in and out of the police station could barely manage their emotions and expressions when facing the police.
More murderers don't know how to deal with the police.
This is why the police often have to visit people’s homes for investigation and questioning.
Calling or inviting the other party to come over will make it easier for the other party to prepare mentally and increase the difficulty of interrogation or questioning.
"Okay, I'll leave first. Please keep it secret and don't tell anyone else about it. If anyone asks, just tell me, okay." Liu Wenkai gave a few words of advice and hurried away.
On the other side, the entire criminal police brigade became excited. Several police officers in Qinghe even gathered together, took the initiative to work overtime, assigned themselves tasks, and started running around.
