Chapter 157: The Oil Barrel Hides the Corpse

Crossing the cordon, Qiu Lan walked to the corner of the landfill with the members of the Forensic Identification Bureau and the Serious Crime Team, where a man wearing a blue plaid shirt and black slacks was being questioned by the police.

That person's face was pale and his eyes were full of panic, and he should be the person who discovered this case.

Xu Chengyan, who had a serious face, strode over, his eyebrows moved slightly, "How is the situation at the scene?"

The police officer who was questioning looked at the badge in front of him and said solemnly, "Sheriff Xu, this is the person who found it, and I am asking for information now." ”

"Well, let me ask first. He pursed his thin lips lightly, looked at the man next to him seriously, and his eyes were cold, "Sir, how did you find out about this deceased?

"I, I. The man swallowed in panic, his Adam's apple rolled up and down a few times, and a dense sweat broke out on his forehead.

"I don't, I don't know this guy, I haven't seen him, I'm a landfill here, just a landfill. ”

There was a mixture of fear and fear in the trembling voice.

This is the normal reaction of a normal person when he sees a corpse.

"Chigo, get this gentleman a bottle of water. Xu Chengyan looked back at the person behind him, gave an order, and then turned his gaze to the witness who called the police, "Sir, you drink some water to suppress the shock." ”

"Thanks, thanks. The man with a panicked face took the bottle of water and swallowed half of it in one gulp, barely suppressing the horror in his heart.

"Sir, it's the police call you reported, right?" Xu Chengyan frowned slightly, and asked the person in front of him step by step according to the process of inquiry.

"Yes, yes. The man nodded and replied repeatedly, "This afternoon, the garbage truck transported all the garbage in the south of the city, I, I." ”

"I was going to follow the workflow, first to check and check, and then to fill it, and as a result, I saw a strange oil drum. ”

Listening to his words, Qiu Lan glanced sideways not far away, where there was a black oil drum, and several policemen were taking pictures to collect evidence.

That was supposed to be the item that hid the corpse.

"Because there may be oil residue accumulated in the oil drum, this cannot be directly landfilled according to the requirements, and it must be disposed of first, so I opened it and looked at it, no, I didn't expect it, just, I saw it, I saw the body. ”

He tensed up, trembling slightly, the paleness of death gradually encroaching on his pupils.

"Okay, sir, I see, my colleague will make a detailed transcript for you later, and if you think of anything suspicious, be sure to tell him. ”

The steady and calm Xu Chengyan nodded, replied simply, and then turned to look at Qiu Lan and Cao Fan behind him.

"Doctor Qiu, Specialist Cao, you all know the general thing, and the scene will be handed over to you. ”

"Okay, I'll immediately start the scene to collect evidence, but this time the location is at the garbage dump, which is complicated and may take a lot of time. ”

Cao Fan, whose eyebrows moved slightly, pursed his lips tightly, and swept the surrounding situation around, his eyes heavy.

"Mo Heng, you assign, we will collect evidence according to the method carried out by the center, starting from the location of the oil barrel and spreading it around. ”

The members of the forensic section strode to the oil drum and carried out their work.

"Officer Xu, then I'll go and examine the body first. A crisp and not solemn female voice came out of Qiu Lan's red lips.

"Good. Xu Chengyan nodded worriedly and looked at the person in front of him with concern.

After hesitating for a few seconds, he moved his lips hesitantly, "Hey, that, Doctor Qiu, does your face still hurt?"

Hearing his words, Qiu Lan subconsciously touched the redness and heat on her cheeks, and shook her head gently, "It doesn't hurt, thank you Officer Xu for your concern, I'll work first." ”

When the words settled, she turned and walked in the direction of the oil drum, but the more she walked, the stronger the smell of gasoline became.

The smell was also mixed with a putrid stench, which was particularly pungent.

If it is a person with poor tolerance, the smell of this smell will already set off a storm in the stomach.

Qiu Lan, who had a calm face, walked in front of the black oil drum, calmly put down the box in her hand, and glanced into the oil drum.

"The corpse was curled up with its head up and feet down, and its entire body was immersed in a liquid similar to gasoline, judging by its facial features and physical characteristics, it was an adult male. ”

Just at a glance, Qiu Lan made a professional judgment.

"Expert Cao. She raised her voice and called out to Cao Fan, who was standing next to her, "Please come over for a while." ”

"Good. Cao Fan stopped what he was doing and strode over, "Doctor Qiu, have you found anything?"

"Yes. Qiu Lan furrowed her brows, staring intently at the layer of semi-solidified objects floating above the liquid in the oil drum.

"Look at the things on this, it's white, it's not grease and oil residue, I think it's suspicious, please take a sample first. ”

Listening to her words, Cao Fan nodded solemnly in agreement.

After the forensic staff had finished sampling the contents of the oil drum, Qiu Lan opened the box she had brought and brought all the protective equipment with her.

"Xiao Cong, take pictures for the record, and prepare again, let's take out the corpse. ”

"Good. Xiao Cong followed Qiu Lan's instructions and took pictures of the corpse in the oil drum.

After that, he took out the nylon isolation mat, spread it on the flat ground, and prepared to take the body.

According to the principle of the communicator device, Qiu Lan used a plastic pipe to transfer the liquid in the oil drum to another barrel, and then with the help of her colleagues, carefully removed the body intact.

It was a male corpse with his hands on his thighs and his head buried in the middle of his legs, but when it was removed, his head immediately turned up, revealing a horrible wound.

"What a feud this is? This head has been cut off in half. Xiao Cong swallowed his saliva and looked at the corpse on the isolation mat with horror in his eyes.

He studied forensic medicine, saw a lot of corpses, and dissected a lot in the laboratory, but it was the first time he saw blood at the scene of the crime.

"It's not cut-off. Qiu Lan's eyes sank and replied indifferently.

"The wound is not a neat knife edge, there are traces of friction, it must not have been cut. ”

She squatted down and carefully checked the condition of the corpse, while Xu Chengyan, who had taken care of other things on the side, also walked over.

"Doctor Qiu, how's it going?"

"Don't worry, the corpse is soaked in oil drums, and the corpse is already stiff, so it will be a little troublesome. Qiu Lan frowned tightly and responded to him simply.

It was about three minutes before she moved her eyebrows and moved her red lips indifferently.

"The body had multiple bruises, blood marks and wounds on its body. ”

"Based on the subcutaneous bleeding and the healing of the wound, the wounds on the deceased's body should have been inflicted two hours before death. ”

Her gaze remained fixed on the corpse, her eyes deep.
