"Toot toot. ”

On the way to the police station, Qiu Lan's mobile phone suddenly rang.

She glanced at the contents of the phone screen and connected the call, "Hey, Officer Xu, what's wrong?"

A low and heavy voice came from the other end of the phone, and the expression on Qiu Lan's face became a little more serious.

"Okay, okay, I got it. She nodded, hung up the phone in a hurry, and her eyes fell on the taxi driver, "Master, don't go to the Municipal Public Security Bureau, go to the western suburbs of Beiting." ”

"Okay. The driver of the taxi hit the brakes, quickly turned around and drove towards the suburbs.

Half an hour later, Qiu Lan rushed to the scene of the crime.

This is a field on the outskirts of the city, which has been abandoned for a long time because no one has cultivated and planted it, and there are yellow weeds everywhere, except for a pile of extinguished ashes surrounded by a cordon, and a thick smoke floating in the air with the naked eye.

Qiu Lan, who was not smiling, narrowed the corners of her mouth, pulled up the cordon next to her and walked to the scene of the crime, the serious crime team and the forensic department came to collect information early in the morning, and Xiao Cong was also waiting for her next to the corpse.

"Doctor Qiu, are you here?" the assistant Xiao Cong handed the protective tools in his hand to Qiu Lan and briefly described the situation at the scene.

"This morning, we received a report from a villager that someone was burning prohibited items, and when our colleagues arrived, a body was found. ”

"Okay, I got it. Qiu Lan put on a surgical mask and protective gloves, walked to the corpse, and her eyes fell on the corpse.

It was a completely charred black corpse, with no skin intact on its body.

"Satoshi, take the liver temperature meter. ”

Satoshi, who was standing aside, opened the box in his hand and placed the slender instrument in her hand.

Qiu Lan, who frowned slightly, held the instrument steadily and inserted the sharp end into the liver of the corpse.

"The liver temperature is completely zero. She pursed her red lips, her eyes were cold, and her voice was cold, "The deceased has been dead for at least a day." ”

"Xiao Cong, tell Officer Xu that he is going to take the body back to the autopsy room. She glanced back at the person behind her, her lips moving slightly, "The corpse has been completely charred, the specific situation cannot be determined for the time being, we have to go back to the autopsy to know." ”

"Yes. ”

An hour later, the corpses at the scene of the crime were sent back to the autopsy room, and Qiu Lan and Xiao Cong, who were wearing full protective equipment, walked into the room and stood by the autopsy table.

"I am Qiu Lan, a forensic doctor, and now I am going to dissect the body in the western suburbs of Beiting, and the case number is UY59662641. Qiu Lan pointed at the recorder and entered the case into the file.

With that, she picked up the large scalpel in the instrument tray and landed steadily from the position below her head, sliding away in a Y-shape.

Fortunately, the villagers at the scene found out in time, and the surface of the deceased's skin was burned, but the interior was still intact, and she could still figure out the answers she wanted to know.

Due to the complicated situation of the corpse this time, it took Qiu Lan and Xiao Cong four hours to thoroughly examine the condition of the corpse.

In the office of the forensic medical department, Qiu Lan was sitting upright at the computer desk, holding the autopsy report in her hand.

"Satoshi, have you read the report?" she stopped what she was doing and looked sideways at the person next to her who was sorting out the information.

"Well, Dr. Cho, I've seen it. Xiao Cong nodded, his expression solemn.

"Have you noticed any similarities between this deceased and the one we dissected before?" Qiu Lan pursed her red lips, her eyes sank, and her steady tone was slightly heavy.

Listening to her question, Xiao Cong opened a folder in his hand and glanced at it briefly, "Doctor Qiu, the corpse this time is very similar to the corpse found in the green lake of Yuanlang Mountain before. ”

"That's right. Qiu Lan frowned and nodded slightly, "What about the specifics?"

Xiao Cong lowered his eyes, carefully looked at the contents of the document in his hand, and slowly spoke, "The deceased in Yuanlang Mountain seems to have drowned, and this time the body was burned on the surface, but after the examination, the cause of their death is the same." ”

"They were all taken with a small amount of drugs, which led to ischemic death of the brain. ”

"That's a good point. Qiu Lan nodded in agreement and said calmly, "But we have determined that the deceased in the reservoir was forced, but what about the deceased this time? ”

Satoshi pursed his lips, his eyes rolled, and he shook his head.

"It's forced. Qiu Lan glanced at the details of the case, her eyes were firm, and her voice was sonorous, "This time, under the skin of the deceased, we found several cell injuries with signs of healing, indicating that the wounds before death, the healing signs of those cells were not obvious, and we can reasonably infer that it was caused by the deceased shortly before death." ”

And this wound is just on both sides of the mouth. She put down what she was holding and stuck her index finger and thumb on both sides of her mouth, "You see, is this the case." ”

"Yes, Dr. Cho, you're right, I didn't expect to be able to judge by the crush of cells. Satoshi sighed lightly, slightly disappointed.

"Xiao Cong, don't sigh, you have just come into contact with these for a short time, and you will miss these details, but you must not make such a mistake again in the future. Qiu Lan raised the corners of her mouth, showed a shallow smile, and said softly: "We forensic doctors must pay attention to details, because it is very likely that a small scar can point to the murderer." ”

"Well, I see. Satoshi nodded affirmatively, his eyes full of admiration for her.

"Okay, Xiao Cong, help me make a video call with Officer Xu, there are some details in the report, I want to tell him as soon as possible. Qiu Lan's eyes sank and her expression was serious.

Two minutes later, the video was connected, and Xu Chengyan was on his way back to the police station from the scene of the crime, "Doctor Qiu, what are the results of the examination?"

"Officer Xu, the autopsy has been completed. Qiu Lan flipped through the information in her hand and told him all the details.

The time of death of the charred corpse was six days ago, and the cause of death was the same as that of Yuanlangshan's corpse, and Qiu Lan also found traces of drug abuse on this corpse, indicating that the deceased was also an addict.

The two bodies in the two cases were found at different times and in different places, but the cause of death and the background of the deceased were invariably the same.

This is really incredible, so Qiu Lan has to suspect that the murderers in these two cases are the same person, and this person is a serial murderer, and he has hatred for drug addicts, so he chooses to kill people by forcing them to take a large amount of drugs, and the difference in the method of throwing the body should be the murderer's means of disguise.

In a short ten minutes, Qiu Lan stated the situation of the case and all the inferences in great detail, and Xu Chengyan's face became more and more heavy when he listened to these words.

Serial murderer, this is undoubtedly a huge hidden danger in the current society, if the real murderer is not found as soon as possible, I am afraid that there will be a third or fourth corpse.
