In the unraveling room of the Public Security Bureau, Xiao Cong took out all the bones found from the small courtyard of Donglangshan and carefully put them on the corpse dissolving table.

The bones were buried by the cesspool, and the sewage from the manure pit infected the surrounding land, and the bones also had a strong sour smell.

Although Qiu Lan and Xiao Cong were wearing masks and other protective equipment, the smell still penetrated their nostrils, and their stomachs turned over the river and the sea, and their hearts couldn't help but be hairy.

"Doctor Qiu. Satoshi held his breath and breathed with his lips slightly open, "A total of two hundred and seven bones are here." ”

When the words settled, he coughed softly twice, choking on tears rolling in his eyes.

"Well, two hundred and seven bones, one more than a normal adult's bones. Qiu Lan moved her eyebrows, put on her gloves, and picked up the skull on the stage, "Let's put the corpses together first, and see what is going on with those so many?"

Qiu Lan carefully examined the skull in her hand and found that there was nothing wrong, so she placed it at the end of the corpse dissecting table.

For the next hour, she carefully examined each bone, jotted down the details, and then placed each bone in its original place according to the structure of the human body.

The remains were quickly presented in their entirety on the corpse table.

"Judging by the length of the humerus, this is a female corpse. Qiu Lan propped her hands on the edge of the corpse table, leaned over and stared at the bones, muttering in a low voice, while Xiao Cong next to her was holding a notebook to record her examination results.

"Because the body was exhumed from the side of the manure tank, the situation of the manure tank is very complicated, and there are many factors that affect the decay of the body, so it is not possible to judge the time of death for the time being, and it will not be determined until the bones are taken to the laboratory for laboratory testing and the composition of the bone tissue is analyzed. She frowned, her tone calm.

After analyzing, Qiu Lan slowly stood up, and a trace of surprise crossed her eyes, "No obvious fatal injuries were found on the bones, and there was a fracture in the left upper arm, but it has healed, there is no suspicion, and the cause of death cannot be speculated for the time being." ”

"However, after piecing together the remains, it was found that there was an extra bone in all the bones found in the yard. Qiu Lan picked up a small piece of bone next to the skeleton and stared indifferently.

"It was determined that this bone was a human phalange, about two centimeters long, and it was preliminarily estimated to be the first amputated finger of an adult's little thumb. She glanced at the complete skeleton on the corpse table, lowered her eyes, and fixed her gaze on the palm of her hand.

"However, the body of the deceased was pieced together in the palm of his hand, and there was no sign of polydactyly, so it should not belong to the deceased. ”

Suddenly, Qiu Lan remembered that the suspect Zeng Qipeng's little finger was broken in the first section, so it was very likely that this was his severed finger.

"Xiao Cong, try to extract bone marrow from the bones, and then hand over the bone marrow sample to the forensic department, the bone sample and the girl's DNA are compared to determine the identity, and this severed finger is compared with Zeng Qipeng's, I guess it is his. ”

After examining the bones in the manure tank, it was already dark outside, the hands on the watch were pointing to eight o'clock, and the neon lights of the city lit up the city.

In the dissecting room, Qiu Lan cleaned and disinfected the entire room and the corpse dissecting table, but the sour smell of the bones was still in the room, and it did not dissipate until the shea-fruity incense was lit.

As the case progresses to this point, all the truth slowly emerges, and as long as the results of the autopsy tonight come out, many questions can be answered.

But how did the deceased die?

Because the female corpse was only a wreckage, all the epidermis, fat and internal organs had been decomposed, and the bones had not yet been obviously fatal, so there was no way to determine the cause of death of the deceased.

Qiu Lan, who was leaning on the back of the chair, closed her eyes slightly, and her brows couldn't help moving.

Suddenly, she remembered the situation in the hospital today, Zeng Qipeng's first reaction after seeing that the ragdoll was broken was to pinch the female nurse.

So if he killed this female corpse, the biggest cause of death was suffocation. Suffocation does not leave any marks on the bones, and naturally it will not be discovered.

At this moment, there was a crisp knock at the door of the planing room.

"Please come in. Qiu Lan dragged her tired body to her feet, and her eyes swept in the direction of the door.

As the words settled, the people outside gently opened the door, and a pungent and disgusting smell mixed with the faint fragrance of shea butter soaked into the tip of his nose.

The complex smell made his heart contract and his brow furrowed.

"Autumn, Doctor Autumn. Xu Chengyan covered his mouth and nose and coughed lightly, his face was embarrassed, "I guessed that you haven't left yet, so I came to ask you if you want to go to dinner together, Expert Cao, Mo Heng and my colleagues from the serious crime team, we will go together." ”

"There's a lot of work today, and everyone hasn't left so late. Qiu Lan walked to the door in small steps, and gently closed the door of the planing room, cutting off the stench.

"Yes, we found the boyfriend of the female deceased in the rape and murder case, he was really suspicious, and we have interrogated him until now. Xu Chengyan frowned and pursed his thin lips, "I found a lot of evidence near the corpse today, and the forensic department is also working overtime, we met downstairs in the police station just now, so we made an appointment to eat together." ”

Before he finished speaking, Xu Chengyan lowered his eyes, a little embarrassed, "The forensic department and the serious crime team are already in place, and the forensic department is missing, so everyone asked me to come up and ask you." ”

In fact, it was not everyone, but Peipei's little clever man who saw that the light in the planing room was still on, so he specially proposed that everyone have a meal together, and then call Qiu Lan.

She's creating opportunities for her boss.

"Now that everyone is ready, I will naturally not be less interested in everyone. Qiu Lan raised her hand and looked at the delicate watch in her hand, and raised her eyebrows slightly, "But now I go, it's not for dinner, it's for supper." ”

"Okay, Officer Xu, please wait for me for a few minutes, I'll go change my clothes. She raised the corners of her mouth and smiled slightly.

Five minutes later, in the parking lot of the police station, Qiu Lan and Xu Chengyan stepped out of the elevator under everyone's attention.

Pei Pei, who was leaning in front of the car, looked at the two people in front of him, and gently pushed the elbow of the small strip with his hand, "Look, whether our head and Doctor Qiu are talented and beautiful are a match made in heaven." ”

Listening to her words, Xiao Tiao also looked at them with interest, and the corners of his mouth hooked, "It's true, Peipei, why can't I see that you have such a good eye." ”

"Our leader, handsome and heroic, and Dr. Qiu is beautiful, generous, gentle and considerate, which is indeed good. He supported his chin with one hand, looked at the two people who came towards him stupidly, looked at him unknowingly, and might think that he was Qiu Lan's little fan brother.

"What are you looking at?" Xu Chengyan gently patted Xiao Tiao's shoulder, full of questions.

Xiao Tiao was patronizing the nymphomaniac just now, and he didn't see the two people who walked in at all, so he was startled, "No, it's nothing." ”

"Stinky boy. Xu Chengyan raised his eyebrows, looking at his sneaky appearance, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Two minutes later, the three major departments of the police station drove out of the parking lot and drove towards the city center.
