Chapter 421 Identity confirmation and cause of death (2 chapters and 1!)
The epidermis of the corpse is very fragile, and it requires professional handling to ensure that the corpse does not get damaged.
Zhang Tao and Chen Yu nodded.
The two of them didn't expect that the leader of the serious crime team could do this with them.
You know, the body is now in a bathtub full of maggots.
Now, I want to fish out the body...
vomit!
After preparing two large plastic buckets, Chen Yan, Zhang Tao, and Chen Yu officially began to move the corpse.
First of all, clean all the maggots in the bathtub.
Naturally, it was impossible to deal with the maggots on site this time.
It should be buried or incinerated outdoors.
Without any tools at hand, Chen Yan found Sanpenzi in the kitchen.
Zhang Tao, Chen Yu and Chen Yan, one for each.
Start to clean out the maggots in the bathtub one by one.
Although all three were wearing gloves, and more than one pair.
Everyone wears three pairs of gloves.
However, when the hands holding the basin touched the maggots in the bathtub.
The delicate and slippery touch made Chen Yan and the three of them feel their scalps go numb.
It feels like sticking your hands into a giant jelly.
But there is a slight difference.
It's just that the greasy feeling is somewhat similar, but the jelly won't wriggle, while the maggots in the bathtub are constantly rubbing and wriggling, even making a sizzling sound.
Yang Wanshu and Li Hong had already left.
This kind of scene...
It is really……
As the three cleaned up the maggots, other parts of the body were gradually revealed.
very beginning,
The corpse is with the head, arms and part of the belly on the outside.
Now, the entire belly starts to show.
Maggots mainly wriggle out from around the abdomen.
The entire abdomen was covered with honeycomb holes, and while the three of them were cleaning up the maggots, the maggots inside the corpse were still falling.
Judging from the current situation, the inside of the entire corpse should have been eaten by maggots to the point where there is not much left.
It seems that DNA from blood and corpse muscle tissue is not feasible.
Even the blood in the heart chamber must have lost its activity and become corrupted.
In this case, DNA testing can only be done through bones.
According to the characteristics of the giant concept and the growth rate of the maggots, Chen Yan comprehensively judged that the death time of the deceased should be about ten days.
However, because of the view of giants, the appearance of the deceased cannot be distinguished at all.
It can only be judged as male based on the length of hair.
Specific identity could not be identified.
Therefore, it is still uncertain whether the corpse is the owner of the house.
As it gradually cleared, more features leaked from the body.
At one-half of the cleanup, the masculine features are exposed.
Although there is only a little bit of corruption left.
But gender can still be identified.
Half an hour later, the three finally cleaned up all the maggots in the bathtub.
As for the maggots that are still falling from the corpse, there is no way to do this.
It is impossible for Chen Yan and others to dissect the corpse at the scene of the crime, so these can only be brought back to the autopsy room.
Because the body was already highly decomposed, the three had no way to carry the body down, so they could only use a stretcher.
In this way, the damage to the corpse can be minimized.
An hour later, Shen City Detective Unit 3.
In the conference room, Chen Yan presided over the first case analysis meeting.
Because of the sudden incident, Chen Yan did not call other members of the serious crime team.
This time the case was mainly handled by detectives from Shen City Detective Team No. 3.
Wang Hu first introduced the case.
At 9:15 this morning, the unit received a call to the police.
In the residential area of Emperor Shijia Xiaoyi, the sewer is clogged with maggots, and there is a suspected smell of rotting corpses.
At 9:28, detectives from the detachment arrived at the scene. During the investigation, they found that Room 1102, Unit 2, Building 2, Diwangshijia Community, was suspected to be coming from the smell of corpses.
At 9:56, after unlocking the door, a male body was found in the bathroom of Room 1102.
Projection starts.
It was the male corpse in the bathtub.
Everyone present at the meeting had already familiarized themselves with the meeting materials before the meeting.
Therefore, I have already vomited everything that should be vomited, and now sitting at the conference table, although my face is pale, I can calmly listen to Wang Hu's report on the case.
Group leader Chen, this is probably the case.
After Wang Hu introduced the basic situation and saluted Chen Yan, he sat back in his seat.
Chen Yan nodded, got up and walked to the projector.
Comrades, judging from the current on-site investigation and analysis.
The deceased was most likely bathed in the bathtub, and because it was slippery and fell over, the back of his head hit the bathtub faucet.
The photo projected on the projector is really a close-up of the back of the corpse's head and the faucet.
The dried blood was clearly visible.
Also, after we cleaned the bathtub of maggots, we found that the rubber seal on the bathtub spout was not tight.
This is a new discovery after Chen Yan and others re-examined the bathtub after they moved the corpse out of the bathtub.
Because, according to normal circumstances, the deceased should have taken a bath in the bathtub when he died.
Well, there must be water in the bath.
But if there is water, the maggots cannot multiply so fast and fill the entire bathtub.
So here comes the problem.
Where did the bath water go?
evaporation?
impossible.
Next to the sink outside the bathroom, half of the basin of water has not evaporated.
Not to mention a bathtub of water?
After careful observation, Chen Yan found that the water outlet at the bottom of the bathtub was not tightly sealed.
The poorly sealed spout caused the bath water in the bathtub to flow out quickly, which then allowed a breeding ground for maggots.
From this point of view, it is very likely that the deceased was an accidental death.
but……
Chen Yan changed the subject, and the projector switched to the corpse's left wrist: We found a watch on the corpse's left wrist.
It's also the only item on the body.
There are some questions here. Why did the deceased wear a watch while taking a bath?
Now, watches are no longer necessary to watch the time.
When checking the time, most people use their mobile phones.
Watches, for most people, are more decorative than practical.
Therefore, Chen Yan believed that if it wasn't for the deceased's extreme preference for this watch, then this might be a flaw.
A loophole to fake an accidental death scene.
So, now we cannot blindly characterize the nature of the case.
Next, let's focus on the work.
First, confirm the identity of the deceased as soon as possible.
Site investigators found a mobile phone in the bedroom.
Crack the password of the phone and contact the contacts in the phone.
At the same time, we have a group photo of men and women in the bedroom and living room of the room where the incident occurred, and there is also a wedding photo.
The deceased is most likely the owner of the house.
Contact the property of the Emperor's Family Community to find the registration information of the owner of the house where the crime occurred.
If the deceased was the owner, why didn't his wife call the police ten days after his death?
As for tenants, this is unlikely.
Because the security management of the Emperor's Family Community is relatively strict.
After the owner rents out the house, he must go through the property to perform face recognition for foreign tenants.
However, there is no rental information on the property.
Second, complete the autopsy as soon as possible.
Confirm the real cause of death of the deceased.
Third, call the monitoring of the property community one to two weeks ago.
Focus on checking all the people who entered Unit 2 of Building 2!
The meeting is over quickly.
In the Shen City detective team, the average professional ability of the detectives should be said to be the best in the entire Liao Province detective system.
Sure enough, within half an hour, there was feedback on the first project work arranged by Chen Yan.
Wang Hu handed over a stack of reports to Chen Yan.
Group leader Chen, we have initially confirmed the identity of the deceased by deciphering the password of the deceased's mobile phone.
After receiving the report, Chen Yan watched it carefully.
The deceased is the owner of the room where the crime happened. His name is Li Baoguo, male, 32 years old, owner of Shenyang Sunshine Tourism Company.
*************
Li Baoguo!
Li Baoguo saved his father's phone number in his mobile phone. We confirmed Li Baoguo's identity through Li Baoguo's father.
Is there anything else?
Wang Hu shook his head: Not yet.
The background information about Li Baoguo is under investigation.
Okay, Chen Yan put down the information in his hand: Send someone to collect the DNA information of Li Baoguo's father.
Then compare it with the DNA information of the corpse.
yes!
Wang Hu knew this.
Although a mobile phone was found at the scene of the crime, it is still unclear whether the mobile phone belonged to the deceased.
Fortunately, Li Baoguo's father was in Shen City, and he was already on his way to investigate the third team.
In the office, Chen Yan was still pondering the analysis of the on-site investigation.
All property at the scene of the crime was not lost, and there was no sign of the room being tampered with.
The phone was found on a bedside table next to the bed in the bedroom.
Next to the phone, there was a cup of moldy tea.
At the same time, the bedside lamp is also on.
There is also a pair of slippers next to the bed.
A corner of the quilt was lifted, and there was a half-open book inside.
These signs...
Somewhat strange.
Judging from the arrangement of bedding in the bedroom, the slippers on the floor, the opening of the lamps, and the mobile phones and tea placed on the bedside table.
Someone should be reading a book on the bed.
If, suppose that the person reading a book on the bed is the deceased.
He should have entered the bathroom to take a bath after putting down the book.
However, here comes the problem.
Entering the bathroom, why didn't he wear slippers?
In the bathroom, Chen Yan found neither slippers nor bath towels.
Instead, on the side of the sink, I found a bottle of shower gel and a bottle of shampoo.
This is somewhat different from the habit of normal people taking a bath.
Whether soaking in the tub or showering.
Necessary toiletries should be prepared in advance.
Such as shower gel shampoo, scrub towels and towels and so on.
However, there were no such things in front of Li Baoguo's bathtub.
Not even slippers.
Analyzing and judging from the details, it seems that Li Baoguo entered the bathtub to take a bath without any preparation.
This doesn't make sense.
There are two biggest differences between a bath and a shower.
The first is time.
The bath time must be longer.
Take shorter showers.
Second is comfort.
Taking a bath because the body is soaked in water, due to the effect of buoyancy, will have the effect of relaxing the body and mind.
Few people come out in a few minutes after entering the bathtub.
If there is no such thing as twenty or thirty minutes or even longer, is that still called a bath?
But since it was a bath, why didn't Li Baoguo prepare any toiletries, and didn't even wear slippers?
Also, Li Baoguo's bathtub also has some problems.
At the scene of the crime just now, Chen Yan did a simple experiment on the water leakage speed of the water outlet at the bottom of the bathtub.
One-third of the water was released, and it drained in about five minutes.
You know, taking a bath is not just filling a pool of water.
Almost one-half is enough.
Because after the body enters the bathtub, it also takes up space.
Too much water will overflow.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, it is filled with half of the water.
However, according to this amount of water, the water in the bathtub will leak out in less than ten minutes.
But, ten minutes, can you finish the bath?
Every detail, at a glance, seems to be no problem.
However, a careful analysis is unreasonable everywhere and cannot withstand scrutiny.
This case... has a problem!
At this time, it was already 21 o'clock in the evening.
Boom boom boom!
There was a knock on the door.
Please come in.
It was Wang Hu who opened the door: Group Leader Chen, the autopsy report is out.
Autopsy report?
Chen Yan was shocked: Go, go to the meeting room!
meeting room.
Detectives responsible for the autopsy are already waiting.
Hello, Team Leader Chen, my name is Lin Gang, and I will report on the autopsy of the deceased.
good.
After Lin Gang saluted, he began to report.
The deceased's internal organs have been gnawed by maggots because of the appearance of a gigantic phenomenon.
The exact time of death could not be determined.
However, based on past experience, I speculate that the time of death should be between one and two weeks.
Chen Yan nodded, and there were not many phenomena of giant view.
This Lin Gang can judge that the time of death is within one to two weeks, which is not bad.
The deceased's hyoid bone was intact, the neck showed no signs of fracture, and the sternum, ribs and other limb bones showed no signs of trauma.
Toxic examination of the corpse also found no toxic substances.
So, suffocation death, poisoning death and other device injury death are excluded.
On the back of the deceased's head, we found comminuted fracture scars.
On the projection, it was the photo of the back of the skull of the deceased.
Comprehensive on-site investigation, the traces of comminuted fractures on the back of the deceased's brain exactly match the shape of the faucet on the bathtub.
The cause of death is preliminarily judged to be that the back of the head hit the faucet, resulting in blood loss and death.
This judgment...
It was basically the same as Chen Yan's judgment at the scene.
However, it was not consistent with other situations in the room where Chen Yan resumed the case just this afternoon.
Looking carefully at the photos on the projection, Chen Yan was a little puzzled.
Lin Gang, do you have any other discoveries?
have!
Lin Gang's expression was a little excited at the moment.
Group leader Chen, judging from the autopsy, the direct cause of death of the deceased was that the back of the head hit the faucet and caused a comminuted fracture, which injured the back of the head and caused excessive blood loss. There should be no problem with this.
but……
Lin just switched the projection, and it was another photo.
Still a photo of a comminuted fracture of the back of the head, but from a different angle.
Group leader Chen, look here.
Lin Gang pointed to the upper part of the fracture.
A transverse fracture line?
Yes, it's the transverse fracture line!
Others looked at each other, what is a transverse fracture line?
Chen Yan looked around and explained, There are many kinds of fractures.
Fractures caused by different reasons such as crushing, breaking, bumping, etc., have different fracture marks.
While speaking, Chen Yan stood up and walked to the side of the projection, carefully observing a fracture line that Lin Gang discovered: The transverse fracture line that Lin Gang mentioned is usually a fracture line caused by chopping.
Lin Gang, who was standing beside Chen Yan, opened his mouth slightly. He didn't expect Chen Yan to have such a deep research on fractures.
Team leader Chen is right. Although the fracture line is very shallow, it was indeed left by chopping.
It's just that because of the giant's view of the deceased and the damage to the skin by the maggots, we didn't find these scars on the body surface.
However, it is certain that the back of the deceased's head should have been chopped off.
Not only that……
Chen Yan turned on the visual gene lock, and further observed the fracture line on the photo: The comminuted fracture section of the back of the deceased's brain is relatively complete.
But the transverse fracture line was broken by the traces of comminuted fracture.
This shows that the hacking of the back of the deceased's head came first, followed by comminuted fractures.
At this time, Wang Hu stood up suddenly: That is to say, when the back of the deceased's head hit the faucet, the back of the head had already been hacked by some kind of sharp weapon?
Wang Hu's words reminded others.
Before the collision, he was hacked.
Certainly not Li Baoguo did it himself.
Then, Li Baoguo's death couldn't have been an accident!
Bang, the door of the conference room opened.
It's Zhang Tao.
Group leader Chen, the deceased's DNA information has been extracted, but...
But the DNA parent-child comparison with Li Baoguo's father...failed!
