Chapter 48: The Peat Man
"I feel that I can write a paper again!" In the autopsy center, forensic doctor Zhang Rong took a heavy puff of cigarette and said excitedly to the captain Yan Bin, "This corpse can definitely rewrite many authoritative theories in the autopsy field!"
"Have you heard of Guo Fengzhan, he is an expert in freezing corpses!" Zhang Rong said again, "Can you apply with the above and transfer this person over to help me!"
"Although he is famous for dealing with frozen corpses, he also has a lot of unique insights on the embalming of corpses, and perhaps, this case can be used for him!"
"Wait a minute, Lao Zhang!" Yan Bin stretched out his hands and made a pressing motion, "Can you be steady first?"
"I think ......" he pointed to the coroner's room inside, then glanced at Zhou Tang again, and said, "We haven't seen a corpse yet!"
"I'm really curious, what kind of corpse can make Lao Zhang so excited......"
"Ahem...... As soon as he heard that he wanted to see the corpse, Zhou Tang coughed nervously, and his mind was thinking quickly about how to not enter the coroner's body.
"Okay!" Zhang Rong immediately opened the autopsy room and said, "Come in quickly! I can guarantee that this corpse will soon become famous!"
With that, he took the lead and ran in.
Yan Bin was also very curious and followed closely.
Zhou Tang stood in place and hesitated, but was pushed in by Li Xiaoxian......
Due to the special nature of the corpse, it was not covered with any white cloth at all, and after entering, the corpse lay flat on the dissecting table at a glance.
As soon as ......he saw the corpse, Zhou Tang felt unwell.
Although his memories have been fused, some of his nature cannot be changed, and he has never touched a corpse in his previous life, let alone such a "special" corpse.
Although the house was sprayed with disinfectant and the corpses had been cleaned, there was still an unpleasant smell.
However, Zhou Tang knew that the stench did not come from the corpse itself, but because the corpse had been soaked in the sludge of the sewer for a long time!
"This is a complete female corpse, because of severe dehydration, the height can only be conservatively estimated at about 165," Zhang Rong began to introduce, "However, according to my personal opinion, this woman's height may be taller than speculated, maybe more than 170!"
"This ......" Yan Bin looked at the corpse and couldn't help frowning, "This kind of corpse is really rare! This feeling, it seems that we are not in the autopsy room, but in the museum!"
"No," Li Xiaoxian said, "it feels more like being in a haunted house!
"Well, at this time, let's not joke!" Yan Bin realized that something was wrong, and quickly said, "The deceased should be treated with due respect!"
......Hearing this, Li Xiaoxian immediately shut up and began to read emm in her heart......
"Lao Zhang," Yan Bin asked again, "Are you really sure that this corpse has been dead for more than 10 years?"
"I'm not sure!" who knows, but Zhang Rong said simply, "This kind of corpse is too rare, more than 10 years, it's just my personal guess!"
"I can assure you, though, that this corpse is definitely not recent!"
"The contradiction is here!" Yan Bin said with his hands behind his back, "If it's not a corpse in a short period of time, why hasn't it decomposed?
"Yes, that's what excites me the most!" Zhang Rong said, "I'm still not sure if it's a human treatment or a natural environment......
"That's a murder?" Yan Bin frowned again, "It's a sewer where bacteria grow, which will only speed up the decay of the corpse!"
"So, it can only be a human body that has been disposed of. And if it's man-made, it's obviously murder?"
"No...... You can't say that!" Zhang Rong shook his head and said, "Have you ever heard of peat people?
"Oh......" Hearing this, Zhou Tang sighed, and he didn't know whether to be surprised or vomit.
"You...... Are you alright?" Yan Bin glanced back, "Did you eat anything unclean today?"
"Brother Tang must be excited to see such a special corpse!" Li Xiaoxian played a round.
"Hey, I'm talking about the most critical place!" Zhang Rong was unhappy, "Can you stop the topic?"
"You say, you say," Li Xiaoxian knew Zhang Rong's stinky temper, and hurriedly echoed, "I've heard of dried corpses in the swamp, aren't they all dried corpses more than 1,000 years ago?"
"Our ......," she said, gesturing to the corpse, "it shouldn't be different, right?"
"That's right!" Zhang Rong said, "Actually, there is still a mystery about why the intact corpses of more than 1,000 years ago were preserved in the swamp!"
"Some people say that it is the peat in the marshland that acts as an antiseptic, and peat can effectively inhibit decaying bacteria!
"The moist peat prevents the bacteria from acquiring metal cations and amino nitrogen, while the sphagnum moss immobilizes the corpse and seals it in a relatively stable space, which is what forms the swamp dry corpse!
"But ......"
"Yes!" Yan Bin said, "Sewers and swamps are completely different things!"
"Indeed, so ......," Zhang Rong said, "this corpse is so unusual!"
"That'...... Can we still test it according to the usual method?" Yan Bin said, "At least, the DNA can be extracted, right? We need to know who she is?"
"And ......," Li added, "can be seen...... How did she die?"
"The cause of death is not good for the time being, you have to give me more time!" Zhang Rong said, "There should be no problem with DNA extraction, if everything goes well, it will come out tonight!"
"Okay!" Yan Bin turned around and said, "Zhou Tang, today, you better go to the scene of the investigation first! I don't care if this case is murder or not, you have to find out as soon as possible......!
After saying that, he realized that there was no one behind him at all.
"Hey?" Yan Bin wondered, "What about Zhou Tang?"
"Oh......" Li Xiaoxian tiptoed, "He may have gone to the bathroom......, right?
"Oh," Yan Bin didn't think much about it, and said directly to Li Xiaoxian, "Zhou Tang has been weird recently, he's fine, right?"
"It's okay, it's okay!" Li Xiaoxian smiled awkwardly and joked, "I think, our team leader may have crossed over, ......right?"
"It's here again, can't you be serious?" Yan Bin Zhengse said, "You didn't count if you solved the tiger cannibalism case, but also solved the drag murder case by the way, which has already made Xiao Liang unhappy!"
"If you can't do the case of the mysterious female corpse, then I'll change people!"
"Don't mind!" Li Xiaoxian hurriedly said, "We just took over, are you so unconfident in us?"
"It's not that there is no confidence!" Yan Bin said solemnly, "If the female corpse really comes from a murder 10 years ago, then this may be an unsolved case, and the difficulty is not ordinary, I am here to remind you!"
"Don't worry, Captain!" Li Xiaoxian promised, "We will do our best! Brother Tang is performing so amazingly now, we are even more confident......
