something wrong?
Everyone else was also a little puzzled.
Chen Yan walked around these trees several times.
There is nothing special about this bush, and there is nothing special about this area either.
It was the trees that Chen Yan circled around, growing slightly taller.
None of the other dwarf trees exceeded one meter, but these few trees seemed to stand out from the crowd.
Good growth, strong trunk.
Chen Yan shook his head: Just now, Qiao Shanhe said that these dwarf trees were planted ten years ago.
Well, he said that there is no one to take care of it and no one fertilizes it. It is a state of natural growth.
So... Chen Yan touched the tallest tree among them: Why do these trees grow better than others?
Why is it taller than other trees?
This...maybe the fertility of this land is better, so the trees grow better?
Yes! Chen Yan nodded, looked at Wang Gang, and then at the tree: That's right, these trees grow so well, it should be because the fertility of this land is better.
But……
Chen Yan raised his head and looked at Wang Gang again: Why is the fertility of this land better than other places?
Is it... something buried under the ground?
What was buried?
Wang Gang is not a fool. When Chen Yan said this, Wang Gang naturally knew what Chen Yan meant.
Team Chen!
You mean, Qiao Shouhe is buried here?
It's not sure yet, but...
Chen Yan pointed to the ground under the dwarf tree, and rubbed away the dead branches above, Just dig it out and have a look, don't you know?
it is good!
Chen Yan's reasoning,
Not without reason.
This piece of land is not much different from other places, but the dwarf trees are a bit higher than other places.
Why?
You know, after the corpse rots and decomposes, it is the best fertilizer.
If Qiao Shanhe was really buried here...
Wang Gang immediately arranged for detectives to start digging.
However, after half an hour of excavation.
Captain Chen, this area has been dug to a depth of one meter, and nothing has been found.
not found?
Chen Yan approached the edge of the pit, frowned and looked inside: Keep digging.
With the tallest tree as the center, dig down first!
Several detectives in charge of excavation continued to swing their pickaxes, concentrated their strength, and centered on the best-growing tree to dig deeper.
At the scene, after Qiao Shanhe, Zhao Dongfeng and others walked the ridge for the first time, they were sent back by Chen Yan.
All the detectives present are detectives from the Second Detective Squad.
It was the detectives of the trace identification team who were responsible for the excavation.
After another quarter of an hour, the depth was almost two meters.
But everyone still didn't find anything.
Chen Yan has been standing by the pit, staring at the work in the pit.
If no clues are found here, the case investigation office will be very passive.
Five years have passed, and there were very few clues in the case back then.
And also implicated in a traffic accident.
However, the current physical discovery has nothing but a severed arm.
Whether Zhao Dongfeng's confession is true or false, Chen Yan has no way to tell the truth from the false.
There is also no evidence to go exactly what he said was true or false.
The same is true of Qiao Shanhe's confession.
There were only Qiao Shanhe and Qiao Shouhe in the car back then, and no one knew exactly what happened.
Finding Qiao Shouhe's body is the only work that can be advanced at present.
Perhaps, the murderer will be in...
boom!
A dull crash interrupted Chen Yan's thoughts.
Team Chen, Team Chen!
Yes! Yes!
Under the deep pit, the detectives roared excitedly.
What did you find? Wang Gang was also excited, leaning on the edge of the deep pit and shouting down.
It's a sharp knife!
Crash, the sound of a digging pick hitting metal.
The detective in charge of digging found a sharp knife in the ground!
Once a discovery is made, it is no longer possible to dig with a pickaxe.
Putting on the special tools for on-site investigation, the detectives below began to dig carefully.
However, after half an hour, nothing was found.
Expand the scope of the cable, centering on the deep pit, and expanding towards the surrounding area!
After Chen Yan ordered, Wang Gang and others also joined the excavation army.
Judging from the clues of the sharp knife just discovered, this is very likely to be the first scene where Qiao Shouhe was killed.
At least, it should be buried here!
Moreover, the murderer was obviously very cunning, and the depth of the body was buried very deep.
Everyone can do the excavation work on the surface.
In Liancheng in March, the surface is still frozen, and the temperature is very low under the deep pit.
But all the detectives were wearing only single clothes, sweating profusely.
Click!
A soft sound stopped everyone's movements.
Chen Yan also showed joy on his face.
Chen Yan was familiar with this kind of sound, it was definitely the sound of bones breaking.
Captain Chen, found a broken bone!
Sure enough, a broken bone was found almost one meter below the deep pit where the sharp knife was found!
Five minutes later, the broken bones were put into the collection box, with Chen Yan, Zhang Chaoyang, Wang Gang and others beside them.
It's a rib! Zhang Chaoyang recognized it as a human rib at first sight.
Chen Yan nodded: That's right, judging by the shape of the bone, it should be the fourth rib.
Ribs, the shape of each rib is actually different.
Chen Yan has specialization in autopsy skills rewarded by the system, and he is very familiar with these experience skills.
With just one glance, one can tell which rib the broken bone is.
And... Chen Yan put on his gloves, picked up the broken bone, and observed carefully: This rib has scratches.
It means that the deceased was stabbed with a sharp weapon in front of him.
Glancing at the sharp knife next to the broken bone, Chen Yan picked it up and compared it with the scratched blade.
After a trace comparison, we can confirm whether this sharp knife is the murder weapon.
This one is easier.
If human bones are injured by sharp objects, no matter how many years have passed, there will be fine metal residues on the bones.
Through laboratory comparison, it can be determined whether the sharp knife found is the murder weapon.
After the discovery of the ribs, many more bones were discovered one after another.
There is also a machete and a pair of iron tongs.
The entire excavation process took much more time than Chen Yan expected.
The murderer did not bury the corpse directly, but decomposed it first, and then buried it in different depths of soil.
The deepest part is about 3 meters deep.
The shallowest one must be more than one meter deep.
After the entire excavation work was completed, it was already noon on the third day.
Detective Second Squad.
The detective in charge of the autopsy is Wang Meng, who has completed the restoration of all the bones.
Captain Chen, we can preliminarily judge that the skeleton of this corpse is Qiao Shouhe.
On the dissecting table, the bones have all been spliced together.
But the forearm part of the right arm is missing.
The broken arm that disappeared in this section should have been fished out of the pond by Zhang and his son five years ago.
We have performed a chemical analysis of the bones and there are no signs of poisoning.
There are obvious scars on the bones of the back of the head, because he should have been hit by a sharp object before death.
Judging from the items found at the scene, it should be the iron tongs.
In addition, the ribs of the deceased were scratched with a sharp weapon. After preliminary comparison of the traces, it was the sharp knife found at the scene.
The machete has traces of rolling blades. By comparing the chopping marks at the bone joints, it can be determined that the murderer used the machete found at the scene to decompose the corpse and then bury it.
Have you found anything else?
Chen Yan pointed to the three murder weapons on the utensil table.
Sharp knives, tongs and machetes.
Is there any possibility of extracting fingerprints?
Based on the current information, Qiao Shouhe's death must have been sudden.
Therefore, when the murderer commits the crime, it is very likely to leave clues.
If the fingerprint information can be extracted on the murder weapon, it will be much easier to solve the case.
But Wang Meng shook his head: It's been too long, the three murder weapons have already rusted.
There is no way to extract fingerprints.
no fingerprints...
Chen Yan actually thought of it too.
After all, too much time has passed.
The three murder weapons were all rusted and corroded, and it was normal that no fingerprints could be extracted.
However, in this way, the whole case fell into a bottleneck again.
After all, five years have passed, and it is undoubtedly very difficult to find the murderer based on a sharp knife, a machete, and a pair of iron tongs.
However, having said that, the current situation is much better than just having an amputated arm.
However, Wang Meng paused, and handed Chen Yan a report: When we analyze the traces of sharp knives.
I made an unexpected discovery!
