On The Day Of My 100th Blind Date, I Arrested My Date

Chapter 168: Black Ash

Three strange cases of human self-immolation, and in rainy days.

The head, limbs, and torso were all burned to ashes.

how can that be?

There has always been such a legend about the spontaneous combustion of the human body.

Especially in foreign countries, relevant reports have always existed.

However, this is the first time Chen Yan has come into contact with someone who has actually seen a human body spontaneously combust, even with video evidence left behind.

When the three spontaneously ignited, it was raining.

After the dead were burned, the ashes were washed away by the rain. When Zhang Yaoming and the others arrived at the scene, there was basically nothing to investigate.

Especially Li Wei's natural scene.

At the gate of the funeral parlor, beside the main road is a gravel road. Li Wei was walking on this small gravel road at that time.

The rain washed away, and the ashes of the burning corpses had been washed away.

Only some inky stains remained at the scene.

The place where Chen Pingping and Wu Jianguo spontaneously ignited was discovered early because there were witnesses, but the scene of the crime has been preserved

Huimin Farmers Market.

The south gate, an area near the left, has been isolated.

Zhang Yaoming accompanied Chen Yan: Captain Chen, this location is the scene where Chen Pingping spontaneously ignited.

On site, a small shed was built using waterproof plastic.

Outside, a detective is watching.

Seeing Zhang Yaoming approaching, he immediately pulled off the plastic sheet.

Entering the small shed, what Chen Yan saw was a pool of black stains.

At that time, it was raining, and the amount of rain was relatively heavy.

Zhang Yaoming began to introduce the situation.

Because this is already the second case of spontaneous combustion, I also came to the scene immediately.

Zhang Yaoming pointed to the stains on the ground: This is when Chen Pingping spontaneously ignited,

Ashes remain.

When we came, Chen Pingping's body had been completely reduced to ashes and was no longer burning.

At this moment, Chen Yan was listening to Zhang Yaoming's report while squatting down to observe carefully.

Chen Yan put on gloves, gently picked up the black stain on the ground, and put it on the tip of his nose.

At the same time, the olfactory gene lock is turned on, and the vision gene lock is turned on.

The ashes have a distinctive smell of burnt protein.

There is also a pungent smell of burnt and carbonized plastic.

After that, nothing else.

After the vision gene lock was turned on, basically nothing was discovered.

Ashes on the ground, a unique form of carbonized matter

And, washed away by the rain, some of the ash stuck together, forming black lumps of particles.

In addition, there are some fine particles, similar to the small beads that condense after the metal is melted and pre-cooled.

Did the heavy rain at that time have any effect on the fire of the corpse?

According to eyewitness accounts at the time, Cheng Pingping was holding an umbrella at that time.

Originally, Chen Pingping came to buy vegetables with her neighbors, and then walked out of the vegetable market with the crowd.

At that time, the two were chatting, but the neighbor said that he suddenly felt a high temperature around him.

Then, when the neighbor was about to come to see her, Chen Pingping suddenly caught fire.

Within a few minutes, even with her umbrella, she was up.

Although it was raining heavily at the time, the fire was getting bigger and bigger.

In less than ten minutes, there is only a pile of ashes left.

Chen Yan had seen the whole process in the video.

It was incredible at the time.

Now, after Zhao Yaoming explained it in detail again, Chen Yan felt even more nonsense.

Yes, it's bullshit.

You know, Chen Pingping was holding an umbrella at that time.

The ribs of umbrellas are all metal structures, usually aluminum products.

That's why there are some fine metal beads on the ground.

But what is Lu's melting point?

660 degrees Celsius!

What is this concept?

The temperature of the flame of an ordinary lighter is less than 500 degrees Celsius.

The flame temperature is above 660 degrees Celsius, and the only daily contact is the stove fire.

Moreover, it is still the most prosperous fire.

According to the video record and what Zhang Yaoming learned at the scene.

Cheng Pingping spontaneously ignited, and it happened in just ten minutes.

The fire was huge, and the rain couldn't put it out.

Have the test results of the ashes of the corpse come out?

Zhang Yaoming nodded: It's already come out.

The composition of the ashes is a mixture of coke, some aluminum and iron debris, and no other chemical substances were found. Chen Yan frowned.

Zhang Yaoming and the others obviously thought of some possible situations.

For example, is it some chemical substances that cause the human body to burn?

However, none of the chemicals remained in the ash.

In this case, there are only two possibilities.

Either, it has nothing to do with the chemical substances, or, even if all the substances are burned when burned, no traces are left.

Second scene.

The place where Wu Jianguo spontaneously ignited was on a sidewalk.

The same has been covered by a small shed.

The relevant situation is exactly the same as the scene where Chen Pingping died.

Only the remaining ash remains, some stuck together after being washed by the rain.

Returning to the Dan City Police Department, Chen Yan said nothing.

this situation

Chen Yan had never experienced it.

Not a single clue.

The most important thing is, how did these three people burn up?

70% of the human body is actually water.

Even for cremation, the cremation furnace of the funeral home does not simply push people into it and burn it.

The process is relatively complex.

There are some institutions inside the crematorium

After the corpse enters, there will be sharp claws to scratch the corpse and avoid the sudden change of pressure inside and outside the corpse during burning, causing an explosion.

The flame used in incineration is also a mixed flame of high temperature, high heat and high pressure.

It can ensure that the body is fully incinerated.

Moreover, at the end of the incineration, there is a mechanical pressing plate to crush some large bones, such as skulls, teeth, hip bones, etc., into slag.

In the end, it's the ashes we see.

Let's just say that, in order to turn the body into ashes, the funeral home still took a lot of thought.

Things like cremators can also be regarded as technological products.

Because, in the past, this kind of work was done manually.

Using props, cut up the corpse, burn it, and break the larger bones with a hammer.

In the end, the three of them were fine.

When it rains, it turns gray.

This is the same effect as the vampire in the movie, after being exposed to sunlight, it is wiped out.

Because of this, Qin Chuan immediately sent Chen Yan to Dan City to organize the investigation of the case.

Case analysis meeting.

For the first time, Chen Yan presided over the analysis of the case of self-immolation in the rain.

click.

The projection screen is a photo of the three deceased.

Li Wei, Chen Pingping, Wu Jianguo, three people.'

According to the currently known information, there is no obvious connection between the three.

They don't know each other, and their occupations are very different. They have no intersection, and no friends they know in common. Vice Captain Lin Hao is still investigating the deeper connection between the three.

Next, what we want to focus on is to find out what caused the three people to spontaneously ignite.

Three people suddenly spontaneously ignited on rainy days in a short period of time. The probability of accidents and coincidences is very low.'

Then, if it was murder, why did the other party do it, and how did it happen?

Zhang Yaoming and others nodded.

possibility of accident

In other words, the possibility of coincidence is really small.

Such a thing as spontaneous combustion is originally a fiction.

Now there are three people in a row, how is this possible?

Therefore, the possibility that three people died of murder is very high.

Since there is a high probability of murder, the question arises.

Why did the killer murder these three people?

for money?

All three of them have been burnt to ashes, where can I get the money?

Moreover, among the three, Li Wei was just an ordinary employee of the funeral home, and Chen Pingping was just a head nurse at the First Hospital. Both of them are ordinary people without much savings.

Wu Jianguo, on the other hand, worked in engineering and accumulated some capital when he was young.

But if it's for money, there's no need to burn people to ashes.

As for love killing

Not very likely.

The three, Wu Jianguo, are 60 years old.

Li Wei is 56 years old and Chen Pingping is 55 years old.

In this age group, the possibility of emotional entanglements is unlikely.

“So, the possibility of a vendetta is something we’re focusing on.’

We are doing research on this point after Vice Captain Lin Hao's investigation comes out.

Now, our focus is to find out how the other party made these three people spontaneously combust.

After Chen Yan finished speaking, the atmosphere in the conference room suddenly froze.

No way, everyone really can't figure it out.

Spontaneous combustion is nothing, or spontaneous combustion when it rains heavily.

Isn't this nonsense.

Besides, even if you pour gasoline on a person and burn it, he won't turn into ashes in the end.

Team Chen, said a middle-aged man who was sitting on Zhang Yaoming's hands: My name is Lan Feng, the captain of the first branch of the Dan City Criminal Police Squad.

Let me tell you about the situation
