"It was found in the sea, but it was drowned in fresh water, two days earlier. Xu Chengyan furrowed his brows and coldly repeated the main points of Qiu Lan's words, "It shows that this case is not an ordinary accident." ”

He pursed his lips and thoughtfully took out the folder in his bag, "A total of seven bodies were found this time, and my colleagues from the Serious Crime Team and I investigated overnight and found out the identities of six of them. ”

"Among them, five of the deceased were employees of the same planning company, and it is understood that they were ready to travel together, and one deceased, a boatman, had only this seventh body. ”

"We couldn't find any information, not even the police department's intranet system. ”

"Is this a nameless female corpse?" Qiu Lan took a deep breath, the expression on her face became a little colder.

"Yes, I have posted a simple message to the TV station and the official Weibo account, but there is no news yet. Xu Chengyan waved his hand, his expression solemn.

No identity, no information, no connection to the other six people.

The cause and time of death were still very bizarre, and clues poured into Qiu Lan's mind, she lowered her eyes, thought carefully, and muttered in a low voice.

"Could it be that the deceased was murdered and then tied up on this ship to be discarded?"

Her words were in one sentence.

Cao Fan, who was sitting on the side, suddenly opened the information in his hand and said coldly: "Doctor Qiu, I agree with your statement. ”

"In this case, we found the wrecked ship, examined a series of items recovered from the capsizing site, and found items related to the other six people that Officer Xu said, but we did not find anything related to the seventh body. ”

He pursed his lips heavily, his voice cold, "However, at the bottom of the ship, we found a bloodstain, and after DNA extraction and comparison, it has been confirmed that it is the seventh deceased. ”

"At the bottom of the ship?" Qiu Lan flipped through the information of the Forensic Identification Department and found a photo of the ship.

The wrecked ship was an antique ship, with the edge of the bottom extended just long enough to accommodate the next person, and she also discovered one of the suspicious points during Qiu Lan's autopsy.

"Officer Xu, Expert Cao, when I was dissecting the corpse yesterday, I found sawdust in one of the scars, I didn't think it was any different, but now that I think about it, it is indeed suspicious. She frowned, her face cold.

"Expert Cao, wait a minute, I'll ask Xiao Cong to hand over that piece of sawdust to you, and you can take a sample from the bottom of the boat and the hull for comparison. Qiu Lan stared intently at the photo of the wrecked ship and said indifferently.

"Although the same wood is used to make the hull and the bottom of the ship, the bottom of the ship is soaked in seawater all year round, and the hull is not, and there is a difference in the composition of the two. ”

Listening to her words, Cao Fan nodded in agreement, and responded: "Yes, the density of the bottom of the boat soaked in seawater will be smaller, and the concentration of organic salt ions included in it will also be higher, this is a starting point, I will check." ”

"Well, I'm sorry for the trouble Expert Cao, if that piece of sawdust is really the bottom of the ship, the female deceased is likely to be tied to the bottom of the bed and wants to quietly take it to the high seas to abandon the body. Qiu Lan pointed to the navigation route on the map.

"Yes, it's very likely. Xu Chengyan frowned, his voice was clear, and his expression was solemn, "If the body is really thrown into the open sea, then there is no way to investigate, and the murderer can go unpunished." ”

"However, now this seventh female corpse is nameless, there is no information, we have no way to investigate the relationship between the characters, and there is no other trajectory of her life, and we don't know anything else except the cause of her death and some possible circumstances. Xu Chengyan sighed heavily, his fingers lightly tapped the table, and he thought silently in his mind.

This is the first time he has encountered such a thing, and without the basic information of the deceased, it can be said that from the beginning of this case, all the clues have been broken.

At present, the serious crime team can only concentrate on investigating the identity of the deceased, otherwise, there is no way to proceed with this case.

However, before this, he had already used the intranet, and he didn't even find his name, and now, he couldn't think of any good way for the time being, so he could only spread the news and search closely, hoping to get some effective results.

"Doctor Qiu, Specialist Cao, if you find any other clues after that, you must tell me as soon as possible. Xu Chengyan looked at the two people in front of him and pursed his lips lightly.

"Okay, I will, I'll send you all the information here. Qiu Lan nodded solemnly, her eyebrows moving slightly.

At this moment, a police officer outside strode in and spoke softly, "Doctor Qiu, Officer Xu, Expert Cao, there is a lady outside who said that she knows the news of the female deceased." ”

The sudden news made the hearts of the three people present shake.

"Quick, let her in. Xu Chengyan frowned and said softly.

A moment later, a woman's figure caught their eye.

"Momo?" Qiu Lan's eyes widened in surprise, her face full of doubts, "Is that the person who knows the news of the female deceased be you?"

"yes. Qi Mo frowned tightly and strode in front of them, "I saw it on the news, although it wasn't a positive facial feature, but I remember the birthmark on the back of her neck, a maple leaf-shaped red birthmark." ”

"Her name is Xiaocao, and she is an orphan. ”

"Orphan?" all three people present sighed in unison.

"Yes. Qi Mo nodded affirmatively and told them the origin of the matter.

That year, after graduating from junior high school, she followed her parents back to her hometown, a small county town called Zixiang County, where there was a welfare home.

When he was in high school, Qi Mo participated in the school's social practice activities, and happened to go to this welfare home, where Xiaocao was a child.

She was sent here as soon as she was born, because of her weak character, so she was often bullied by others, very inferior and withdrawn, Qi Mo was very sympathetic to her, so she often visited her, and when she came and went, Xiaocao regarded her as her sister.

But after a visit, the welfare home was demolished, and since then, she has not seen the little girl until yesterday when she watched TV, she recognized the birthmark.

After telling this experience, Qi Mo lowered his eyes, and warm tears flowed down his eyes.

Although she and Xiaocao have met for less than three years and have met very few times, she has long regarded Xiaocao as her sister.

Over the years, she has also been to a lot of welfare homes, but she has not seen her, but she didn't expect that goodbye was just to learn about her death from the news.

"Don't cry. Qiu Lan took out the tissue in her bag and gently wiped the tears from the corners of Qi Mo's eyes, "Now is not the time to be sad, a birthmark can't fully prove her identity, now you go with me to identify the body." ”
