Chapter 188 Numbering

Chapter 189 Numbering

Two boats and four frogmen searched the reservoir for a day, and sure enough they found four more body bags.

Because the body bags are smaller in size and weight, they are scattered over a wider area and are more difficult for frogmen to retrieve.

However, the real difficulty is the huge pressure and responsibility.

The leaders of the Qinghe Municipal Bureau were called one after another to inquire about the situation.

Naturally, we are constantly connected to Wang Lan in the anatomy room.

When the four body bags were brought in, in the autopsy room, the previous four corpses were not finished yet.

When the forensic doctors saw the four newly delivered body bags, they had stern expressions on their faces.

Several people looked at Jiang Yuan, which meant that the crime was escalating and there were more corpses.

Jiang Yuan was helpless and could only say: "Keep cooking. If a new body bag is delivered later, don't even think about sleeping."

Wang Lan also sighed, looked at the forensic doctors who had stayed up all night, and said, "Why don't we take a rest separately? One group of people will go to bed first. Well... is there anyone who wants to stay voluntarily?"

"I'll stay." Jiang Yuan showed his style. When he went to eat yesterday, he took the time to sleep for a few hours and was not very sleepy.

Two other young forensic doctors and Niudong chose to stay.

Naturally, Wang Lan couldn't run away, so he asked the others to rest first while the four forensic doctors here worked first.

Anyway, it’s just a matter of people taking a break.

Thinking of this, Wang Lan sighed again and said to the detective who came to deliver the body bag: "Please pass on a message and buy two more pressure cookers and deliver them to me."

The criminal policeman was still sullen at first, but now he couldn't bear it anymore and leaned over and retched.

"Go to the floor drain and vomit. Vomit on the autopsy table. Let's sleep here tonight." Niudong jumped as high as others, and his voice was even higher.

The detective who came to deliver the body bag was not young anymore. He was thirty years old after all. He had been working as a junior for ten years and had two children. He was on the verge of divorce. He was under huge pressure on the mortgage and his living expenses were soaring. He was unwilling to go to the class reunion. La, but life is pretty passable. Under normal circumstances, he wouldn't vomit it out.

It's just that the impact of today's scene was too strong. From vision, to smell, to psychological feelings, it broke through the bottom line of a 10-year police officer.

vomit……

The detective vomited and vomited immediately.

The hot air sprayed onto the floor drain, and the smell that shouldn't be fragrant floated up, and then processed by the detective's thinking...

vomit……

Jiang Yuan and others fanned themselves in disgust, and Wang Lan urged: "The others are going back to rest, so hurry up and leave. I'll give you 8 hours, no more than 10 hours at most. Come back and replace them."

Although there are 12 forensic doctors in total, some are old and some love fishing.

For example, Dr. Ye from Longli County also came here this time. The whole audience was busy and lazy, but it was not very useful. Wang Lan is not qualified to manage other people.

The municipal bureau's forensic doctor is just not used by the workplace, and his level is not necessarily higher than others.

Furthermore, this time, forensic doctors from various places were supporting the municipal bureau. They were here to help, and Wang Lan could not use them to kill people.

After a while, only the last few people were left in the anatomy room.

Everyone continued to cook the bones in the two pots.

Why does it take so long to cook?

To use an inappropriate but vivid metaphor, think about the Chinese New Year. If a family wants to cook half a fan of pig, the whole family has to go out. How long does it take?

There were four corpses here, and they all had to be boiled until they were deboned.

The ventilator fan was working hard, and the sound of whirring could not only clear up the heat in the anatomy room.

Jiang Yuan unwrapped a newly delivered body bag, took the DNA as usual, and then sampled the water to leave some remaining tissue. Then he renumbered the iron buckets, looked at the body parts one by one, and put them in again.

There are no clues on the surface of the corpses, so after the last corpse is finished cooking, just pour the corpses in the bucket into the pot and continue cooking.

In the forensic autopsy room, they are now using extra large stainless steel buckets that can hold 50 kilograms. If you don't think this kind of cooking is too slow, you can cook it directly on the stove.

After looking at two packages of corpses and then the third package, Jiang Yuan let out a long sigh.

"What's wrong?" Wang Lan looked over.

"Found three arms." Jiang Yuan shook his head and directly opened the fourth body bag.

Sure enough, the one, two, four body bags probably belonged to one person. Body bag No. 3 belonged to another person.

"Now the pressure is on the frogmen." A young forensic doctor seemed to have collapsed from exhaustion and laughed miserably: "As long as they can't find the two remaining body bags, they can't even think of coming up."

Jiang Yuan ignored this and pulled the stainless steel vat over again. He took the body parts from body bags 1, 2 and 4 to the dissecting table and tried to splice them together.

"Fortunately, except for the head, everything is basically there." Niudong came over to help, and showed an expression of "I knew it a long time ago" and said: "It's not surprising that the murderer who was thrown far away and buried close would do the trick of keeping his head far away and his body close."

Keeping the head far away and the body close is also a common tactic in criminal investigation.

Because it is generally believed that the head is the easiest way to reveal the identity of a corpse, the murderer of the corpse case often disposes of the head separately, or throws it further away, or hides it in another place.

From the "throwing him far away and burying him close" approach, and adding "the head is far away and the body is close", it can be seen that the murderer does not know much about modern criminal investigation methods, and most likely is not a person who likes to study and collect information.

It is more likely that he is a murderer who evolved step by step from an ordinary person.

"Four plus two, there are 6 people." Jiang Yuan opened body bag No. 3, which contained mainly upper limbs and torso. Should have belonged to another male.

"I'll make a call." Wang Lan said, but did not move immediately. Instead, he thought for a moment and said, "Let's divide the work."

Several people looked at Wang Lan.

"Let Jiang Yuan analyze the bones first and see if he can find any clues."

Wang Lan then explained: "We have all seen the current situation. These corpses are probably not all. We have to find something as soon as possible, not to mention locking it, at least to narrow the scope of the investigation. Otherwise, wait until public opinion spreads Get up, the social situation begins to ferment, if the murderer receives the news and escapes early, wouldn't it be troublesome?"

Wang Lan signaled Jiang Yuan to start working and said: "Now is the time to race against time. We cannot give the murderer another chance to plan in advance, or eliminate evidence, or change his behavior..."

All in all, finding some evidence and locking in some information before the murderer gets the news will be beneficial to solving the case and litigating the case.

This is what Wang Lan wants to express.

Niudong recognized it as soon as he heard it. He smiled like a fool and said, "It means our skills are not as good as Jiang Yuan's. Let Jiang Yuan get started and we can continue to be cooks..."

"I didn't know you were so dedicated to anthropology." Wang Lan looked down at Niudong.

Niudong laughed sarcastically: "I'll just make a few remarks."

He hasn't revealed his talent in forensic anthropology yet, but when Wang Lan asks him to join him on the stage, he will show his timidity.

The other two young forensic doctors had nothing to argue with, and their knowledge of anthropology was limited.

In these days, there are not enough forensic doctors and there are too many corpses, but there are always not enough corpses for teaching. It is basically impossible to become a forensic scientist in anthropology just by relying on school and training. You can only watch and practice more at work.

For example, now, just watch more.

Jiang Yuan and Wang Lan began to support him, so they stepped down from cooking meat and returned to the anatomy table to study the bones.

Corpse No. 3 is a male, in his thirties, and 1.75 meters tall.

Corpse No. 4 is a female, in her forties, and 1.65 meters tall.

To sum up, from the first wave of four corpses, the forensic doctors of the task force found two middle-aged men and two women, with medium height, medium tooth wear, and ordinary living habits.

The so-called ordinary people are the type that forensic doctors dislike the most.

In particular, forensic anthropology hopes to find special people among special groups of people, so that the identity of the deceased can be determined through simple bone fragments.

The specialness required here is just different from the regular specialness. In fact, it does not require really specialness.

Just like corpse No. 1, if she is 20 years old, has given birth to children, and is 170 centimeters tall, then it is easy to find the corresponding one by running the hospital system.

Or if a woman who is forty-five years old or older has never given birth to a child and is also 170 centimeters tall, it is estimated that she can gain the same results through further interviews and surveys.

Jiang Yuan turned the bones over and over, looking rather aimlessly.

Wang Lan didn't say anything, and started cooking the corpse.

This job was the most tiring and dirty. As the person in charge, she felt uncomfortable no matter what reason she had to escape.

On the other hand, when Jiang Yuan and she were fighting bones, he had already demonstrated his ability in anthropology that far exceeded hers. Wang Lan felt that there was no need to interfere with Jiang Yuan.

The anatomy room gradually became quiet again.

Everyone is extremely tired from work.

At this time, Jiang Yuan had been leaning over corpse No. 3 for twenty or thirty minutes before he said, "This corpse is quite special."

"How do you say it?" Wang Lan rushed over immediately as if being wound up.

"He has marks here where he was struck by an axe." Jiang Yuan pointed to the ribs on his back chest.

Wang Lan was stunned and asked: "Is it the cause of death?"

Finding the source of the body is important, but it would also be nice to find the cause of death.

Jiang Yuan said: "It's not like that. His ribs were all chopped off with something like an axe. But the leg bones were cut with a cutting machine."

"An ax and a saw?"

"right."

"I have an idea. Is it because the ax can't cut anymore? I need to replace it with a cutting machine?" Wang Lan walked over and took a look. Sure enough, he saw the iconic wedge-shaped cut of the ax and his eyes lit up. This situation often means that this is the case. A corpse is a link between the past and the future.

Jiang Yuan shook his head and said: "The use of the cutting machine is not much different from the other corpses. As for the axe, I am also relatively skilled. There is no learning curve."

This is actually the tool mark part of the trace inspection. Jiang Yuan doesn't know much about it, so he can only give a rough idea.

What is more attractive is actually the issue of proficiency.

If there is no learning curve, it means that the murderer is either an insider, or he has practiced with corpses before.

But this kind of conjecture cannot be said randomly. Anyway, the reservoir is still being searched, so just wait for the results.

Wang Lan also heard the meaning and frowned: "This person's tools are quite complete."

"There needs to be a big venue." Jiang Yuandao.

After all, these things are still far away from identifying the murderer. Qinghe City is full of small factories, such as the industrial parks planned in the early years. None of the large high-tech factories wanted by the government came, and in the end they were leased to small local processing factories.

In addition, towns and rural areas also have various small workshops of their own, such as oil pressing mills, honey filling factories, etc. They died 20 years ago and have been resurrected in the past few years.

It looks like he's still going to die, but that doesn't stop someone from trying to die inside.

"Something more specific." Jiang Yuan brought the topic back.

"You said it." Wang Lan nodded.

Jiang Yuan said one by one:

"No. 1 had teeth done, porcelain teeth, you can look for it from this aspect."

"No. 2's right humerus is fractured. This will definitely need to be taken to the hospital for treatment."

"No. 3, judging from his lumbar spine and leg bones, may be engaged in heavy physical labor."

"Number 4. Wears high heels all year round and has had teeth straightened."

Jiang Yuan tried his best to give each corpse a direction of investigation.

Wang Lan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. With so many things, he could always find the source of the corpse. Maybe if you find a body, you'll find the murderer.
