Chapter 171 Carbonization
While Cao Keyang was communicating with forensic doctor Wang Lan and the criminal police captain here, Jiang Yuan also sent a message to the captain Huang Qiangmin, explaining his idea of staying in Qinghe City for a few days to exercise.
Because it was evening time and it was not his own case, Jiang Yuan felt uncomfortable calling him. As a result, within a few minutes of sending the text message, Huang Qiangmin's phone buzzed.
"Who deceived you?" Huang Qiangmin's voice was rigorous and positive, like the beginning of interrogating a prisoner, ready to switch to both offense and defense at any time.
Jiang Yuan was naturally not... so afraid of him. He laughed twice before saying, "I have never come into contact with corpses that were set on fire after murder. I want to go and have a look."
Huang Qiangmin felt a little depressed after hearing his answer. He felt that no one had tricked his silly boy into leaving. He said sincerely: "I told you that you were working in vain. There are so many types of corpses, and you have to have seen them all." Can’t do it?”
"Isn't that what forensic doctors do?" Jiang Yuan whispered. Original reading
"You don't have to do forensic work to do very well. Don't pursue it deliberately." Huang Qiangmin said sincerely. On weekdays, he requires his subordinates to strive for excellence.
However, if it is similar, it is originally a chamber pot, and is only taken out and used when needed.
Everyone is working as a big animal, and when it comes to working, Huang Qiangmin himself also has to work. He is essentially a commanding large-scale scout, the kind who seems to be doing nothing but plays the most important role in the end - just like a pig.
As for Jiang Yuan, he is a man who can do whatever he wants, and is a little out of touch with the environment in villages and counties. Therefore, Huang Qiangmin emphasized: "Don't let others take advantage of you. Your work is in vain. Thank you."
Jiang Yuan laughed twice, glanced at Cao Keyang who was on the phone next to him, tilted his body slightly, and whispered: "I just have a lot of experience, so I just do my work, it's nothing."
"What kind of knowledge do you have? Have you seen too many corpses that are first killed and then burned?" Huang Qiangmin said unhappily: "Come back, and I will get you a roasted whole lamb."
Jiang Yuan laughed twice, and tried to persuade Captain Huang to take it easy. Before hanging up, he said again: "The state of the internal organs of a burned corpse is also very important. I'll hang up first."
A hundred kilometers away, Huang Qiangmin was holding his cell phone with a gloomy look on his face. Those big liars in Qinghe City!

Autopsies in Qinghe City are also held in funeral parlors. The rules are all set by the city bureau, and there is nothing new.
Of course, there are still requirements for the quality of the freezer. The most commendable thing about a funeral home is the environment.
The floor is usually clean and tidy.
Most places that humans often pass by are cleaned very carefully and meticulously.
Not only are the staff at the funeral home meticulous, but the quality of the visitors at the funeral home is also extremely high. There are very few litterers. Many people who come to pay homage will clean up the area carefully after cleaning their own family area. Public area.
Sensen ancient trees are a common feature in funeral parlors. They are tall and tall, covering the large open space below, ensuring that even at noon, visiting guests can feel the shade.
In the evening, all the visitors went back, and even the aunts in the canteen and the small shop got off work. Cao Keyang took Jiang Yuan into the parking lot, and then walked to the autopsy room.
It is still a basement with a MAX level of coolness. There was also a whistling sound in the corridor.
"Here we come." Wang Lan greeted him at the door when he heard the voice.
She was skinny, like a starving person who had been stripped of her features by hunger. If it weren't for her bright eyes, she would be easily misunderstood in a place like a funeral parlor.
"Forensic Doctor Wang, please excuse me." Jiang Yuan stepped forward.
Wang Lan smiled and said: "What's the trouble? I'm even happier if someone is willing to help. Well, this is the Niutong Niu forensic doctor from our district bureau."
Jiang Yuan noticed a short and thick man next to Dr. Ganshou Wang, standing on a small stool next to the autopsy table.
After seeing so many forensic doctors, I feel nostalgic for my master, Lao Wu. At least the master is a bit normal.
Niudong raised his head and looked at Jiang Yuan. He had been introduced to him before he came. He was a young forensic doctor who had won many new achievements. He didn't have much hope, so he just went about his daily routine: "I have met Wu Jun several times, and Old Wu is also retreating." Alright."
"Master will retire in two years." Jiang Yuan replied. It's good to have someone to help you.
The district bureau in Qinghe also has positions for forensic assistants, which is basically an undocumented basic labor force. Niudong, Wang Lan and a forensic assistant performed an autopsy on a corpse, which was relatively easy.
But who could say no to the help of an extra forensic doctor?
After exchanging a few pleasantries, several people quickly entered the anatomy room.
Jiang Yuan was also fully armed, and he also brought some equipment with him.
Cao Keyang was a little embarrassed to leave, mainly because he didn't want to leave Jiangyuan, and it was late. Thinking that he would go back to the parking lot alone through a road made of gloomy old trees, it would be better to stay and face a burnt corpse and Several living forensic doctors with different shapes.
The body was indeed a little burnt.
To use a more professional description, it is called the whole body being highly carbonized.
To use a folk saying, it means that a black crispy shell has been burned on the outside. It's still very scary, and ordinary people can't accept this.
Seeing the charred aroma of the roasted mutton makes people feel...
"Part of the limbs are carbonized and missing. The left upper limb is above the middle of the upper arm, and the right upper limb is the forearm. Both lower limbs are from the middle of the thigh..." Wang Lan stood on the side of the dissection bed and introduced the situation to Jiang Yuan.
The corpses were already burned and buckled. That is, it shrinks up like a shrimp. The so-called lack of carbonization means that it is burned out.
To sum it up in one sentence, except for the left hand which still has half a forearm left, the remaining forearm and two lower legs have been burned away. Needless to say, the hands and feet cannot be seen.
Such a corpse is much more difficult to handle than an ordinary normal corpse.
However, as long as it is completely processed and the information that needs to be obtained is obtained, the murderer will have left an extra piece of information for the criminal investigators.
Jiang Yuan saw that they had just arranged the corpse. Because there are still a lot of black charcoal pieces falling around, some of which are even connected to human tissue.
Some parts were so crispy that they fell apart when touched.
Wang Lan acted calmer than Jiang Yuan and Niudong, with the calmness of a mummy, and continued to introduce to Jiang Yuan:
"When the body was found, it was not wearing clothes, the skin on the back was relatively intact, and there was no self-defense posture..."
"There were wounds on the waist and abdomen, with the characteristics of stab wounds with sharp instruments."
"The perineum is also carbonized, and vaginal swabs can no longer be extracted."
As Jiang Yuan listened to Wang Lan's forensic description, many questions and images gradually came together in his mind.
Now, Jiang Yuan, who has mastered Forensic Pathology LV4, is also facing a corpse, and the information he can get and infer is completely different.
But he was not the protagonist today, and he was not in a hurry to dissect the body. He just followed Niudong and Wang Lan's progress and scanned the body surface first.
The first step is to pick up the large pieces of charcoal that fell into the basin. The second step is to record the status of the corpse surface from top to bottom:
“Foreface carbonization.” “Facial carbonization missing.” “Skull carbonization.”
What surprised Jiang Yuan the most was that the brain tissue of the corpse was exposed and appeared solidified. From this point, you can actually judge the degree of burning.
The temperature in the room should be just enough to fry your skull. Or, there was a foreign object, such as other explosive fragments, that exploded the carbonized skull, and the residual heat burned the brain tissue that flowed out until it solidified.
Jiang Yuan wrote casually in his notebook for several hours, but still didn't speak.
The information he just derived needs to be confirmed and tested on the one hand, but on the other hand, it is highly likely to be useless. During the autopsy process, a lot of information can be obtained, but it does not mean that all information needs to be revealed.
For example, it is easy to determine whether a corpse has gallstones during an autopsy, but if it is not an autopsy related to medical malpractice, it may not be meaningful to tell this answer.
Of course, if the deceased did have severe gallstones and someone claimed to have had dinner with the deceased and ate a large bowl of twice-cooked pork, that would make sense...
Jiang Yuan was still not very experienced, so he just remembered whatever he thought of.
When the dissection reached the chest, Jiang Yuan stepped forward with special attention, pinched his lungs and said, "It feels like holding snow."
Niudong, who was dissecting the corpse step by step, stopped, rubbed his lungs, and nodded: "Indeed, I feel a tingling sensation."
The twisting feeling and the feeling of holding snow are both proof of the existence of extra air, and they have similar meanings.
But as far as the autopsy is concerned, it shows one thing. The deceased may not have been burned to death, nor was he killed by a sharp weapon!
