Chapter 328: A Different Way
The concise and concise analysis was reasonable, and Xu Chengyan, who was standing on the side, lowered his eyes and nodded slightly, "Doctor Qiu, you are right. ”
"Before this, we also investigated, two days before and after the deceased Ji Muqin was killed, the suspect Qiao Peiqin had been abroad, so he didn't see her at all. He paused, looking thoughtful, "But when Liang Peiru died, he did appear in the bar." ”
"It seems that you still have to bother to check this point. Qiu Lan pursed her red lips and glanced up at the person in front of her, her eyes were meaningful, "Combined with the current information, I suspect that the murderer is the same person, but different methods are used to abandon the body, but it is not 100% ruled out that there are two people who committed the crime, or that he has accomplices." ”
"You're right. Xu Chengyan nodded, his expression solemn, "I'll check again, it seems that the bartender and waiter in the bar will also have a good investigation." ”
The cold voice came to an abrupt end in the long corridor, and Qiu Lan, who was standing on the side, echoed his opinion, her eyebrows moving slightly.
Suddenly, she thought of the skeleton found at the same time as Liang Peiru's body, and until now, there has been no progress in this case.
"Officer Xu, do you have any clues about the ten-year-old bones last time?"
"Not yet. Xu Chengyan shook his head with deep eyebrows, and replied softly: "The photo of the facial restructuring you sent me has been posted on the Internet, but there has been no news until now. ”
The voice settled, and a heavy sigh followed, "If the identity of the deceased in this case cannot be confirmed, I am afraid that there is no way to investigate it at all." ”
As a righteous police officer, he is unwilling to let any case become an unsolved case, let alone let the deceased die innocently and the murderer go unpunished, but the identity of the deceased is the key to open the door.
Without this key, he simply had no way to continue his in-depth investigation.
"Doctor Qiu, is there any other way to determine the identity of the deceased?" Xu Chengyan raised his eyes, looked at the person in front of him blankly but hopefully, and asked in a low voice.
"The identity of the deceased. Qiu Lan frowned, her eyes flowed, she thought silently in her head, and muttered in her mouth, "At present, the most simple and intuitive medical identification method is to check DNA, if you find similar DNA for matching, then you can find out the identity, but if there is no DNA that can be compared." ”
A long tail mixed with a hint of doubt slowly came out from between her lips and teeth, and flowed into Xu Chengyan's ears.
The two men standing opposite each other were silent, and the air froze.
What else can be done?
Qiu Lan, with a heavy face, pondered in the framework of knowledge stored in her mind, wanting to find another way to decipher the identity of the deceased.
But in this vast sea, with only a corpse, how can you find someone?
Suddenly, a clear light slipped under Qiu Lan's eyes, "Officer Xu, I think there is still a way to try, but I still have to examine the body again, if this method is feasible, I will contact you as soon as possible." ”
"Okay, that's troublesome Doctor Qiu. Xu Chengyan glanced at her softly, with a slight loss and embarrassment in his eyes.
Probably because her two confessions were politely rejected by her, he didn't know how to face her except for the necessary work contact.
Twenty minutes later, Qiu Lan and Xiao Cong took out the bones of the ten-year-old body from the morgue.
She put on a full set of protective tools and put the more than 200 bones back together on the dissecting table.
The dim shadowless lamp slanted on the dry and foul-smelling bones, and the two stood beside the platform with cold faces, staring at the skeleton with grim eyes.
"Doctor Qiu, did you have something in mind, why do we need to conduct a second examination of this corpse?" Xiao Wei glanced sideways at the people around him and asked suspiciously.
"Find the identity of the deceased. Qiu Lan's eyes sank, and her eyes were firm, "The DNA of the deceased can't match the similar maps, and no one knows the picture of the recombination of faces, so we can only find other ways." ”
"This?" Satoshi furrowed his brows and looked at the silent skeleton with a blank expression. He didn't know what this bone could find for the identity that DNA could not test.
But in Qiu Lan's heart, she didn't think so.
When a case is in trouble, the most fundamental solution is to return to the source and re-examine.
This is also the most important point in criminal case detection skills, although Qiu Lan is a forensic doctor, this principle also applies to the diagnosis of corpses.
"Satoshi, in the previous report, we found several injuries on the bones. Qiu Lan pursed her red lips and asked with a serious face.
Xiao Cong, who was standing beside her, picked up the data record next to him and said slowly, "There are seventeen in total, two of which are fatal wounds, broken ribs, and twelve are small marks on the bones, we deduced that the deceased was abused and beaten at that time." ”
"Yes, there are three more serious bone cracks and fractures. Qiu Lan nodded, and then continued to analyze his words: "Two of these three places have not been treated and healed naturally, there should be no clues, but there is one last place." ”
She stopped her voice, and her cold gaze slowly moved to the broken reconnection of the deceased's thigh bone, "Xiao Cong, look here. ”
"This is the thigh bone, there are obvious signs of fracture and healing, but the healing here is different from the other two, here is the hospital treatment, and there are traces of steel nails. Qiu Lan slowed down her tone, her gaze slowly moved down, and the expression on her face became more and more solemn.
"The time of the deceased's death was 10 years ago, but based on the degree of healing here, the wound should have been three years before death. Qiu Lan took a deep breath, her red lips pursed slightly, and her eyebrows twitched slightly.
"Thirteen years ago, when medical technology was being accepted by ordinary people, few people should have gone to the hospital to receive professional treatment, and the location of the thigh bone injury should have injured the deceased's major artery, and it must have been bleeding at that time. ”
"Doctor Qiu, do you mean that we can investigate the medical records of the big hospital around thirteen years ago to find people who have been treated for the thigh bone?" Xiao Cong, who was standing on the side, bit his lip and looked at the person next to him incredulously.
Although he had already seen Qiu Lan's professional ability in the previous case, in front of this case, he had to be impressed by her again.
She actually deduced the possible presence and registration of the deceased by relying on an ordinary and ordinary fracture wound.
Although it was not easy to search for a person in the information of a large hospital, it was easier than looking for a needle in a haystack, and they finally found a direction to investigate.
