21. Corpses on the side of the road
The local police station received a report from a villager and made a preliminary judgment that it was a murder and a corpse.
Due to the manpower and technical limitations of the police station, it was immediately reported to the municipal bureau.
In today's peaceful social environment, such a vicious case suddenly appeared, and the leaders of the city bureau attached great importance to it, and immediately decided to send special case personnel, led by Captain Lei Kang, to the scene of the incident, and to solve the case as soon as possible.
After confirming that the personnel were all there, and then bringing Xue Qingxia and Yu Yu, the two forensic doctors, the group hurriedly got into the car with their equipment and rushed to the scene.
The incident took place next to a provincial road, surrounded by large areas of farmland, and there was only one village next to it.
I heard that there were dead people, and a large number of people watched from the side of the highway, and it could be seen that the enthusiasm was very high, and it was obviously a good opportunity to watch the excitement.
When everyone arrived, colleagues from the police station were evacuating the crowd.
Pushing aside the crowd and entering the scene, you can still vaguely hear the whispers of the people on the periphery.
"Did you listen to Aunt Jiang, hey, that person died a miserable death, saying that he was tied with his hands tied, and then dragged to death in the back of the car and dragged to death on the road!"
"Shhh
Everyone received masks and shoe covers, and Director Peng of the police station saw that someone was coming from the bureau, and hurriedly walked over: "Team Lei, you guys are coming fast enough!"
"Human life is at stake, you can't be unhappy. ”
Lei Kang glanced around, and was not polite, and said directly: "How is the scene?"
Director Peng shook his head and said, "When we rushed over, there were already crowds of people here, except for the corpse, no one moved, and the surrounding traces could basically be judged to have been trampled on." ”
The muscles on Lei Kang's cheeks jumped, and he said with a calm face, "Have you asked the informant?"
Director Peng said: "I have already asked, the informant's name is Jiang Guiying, a villager from Jiang Village next to him, he got up early in the morning to break corn, and before dawn, he saw a pile of clothes in the grass on the side of the road, and when he walked over to take a look, he found that it was a corpse. ”
"Has the identity of the deceased been confirmed?" said Lei Kang.
Director Peng said: "It's not too late. ”
"Okay. ”
Lei Kang frowned and ordered, "Let's take a look at the dead first." ”
Xiao Ran followed into the cordon, and saw the corpse in the grass beside the road.
I saw that the deceased was wearing a blue-black jacket on his upper body and blue-black pants on his lower body, and his clothes were badly damaged, and a large amount of blood and mud could be seen on his shirt, and there was a small amount of visible oil stains on his jacket.
Xue Qingxia and Yu Yu were already squatting down on the side of the road with gloves on their gloves and began to do a preliminary autopsy: "The deceased's skull was an open fracture, about two-thirds of the entire head was missing, and only a small amount of brain tissue remained, and the base of the skull could be directly seen. The right shoulder, right hip, right lower limb are severely worn. About half of the right hip bone tissue is abrasive, the right abdominal cavity is largely missing, the abdominal internal organs are exposed, and the right calcaneus is about half abrasion. ”
It was more of a corpse than a corpse, with a head only the back of the head and the flesh on its chest almost gone.
If the dead were really dragged to death like this, what a great pain it must be!
However, Forensic Doctor Xue obviously does not associate with these, and in the eyes of the forensic doctor, the corpse is no different from the little rabbit and little frog used to practice in the dissection room.
Xue Qingxia took the magnifying glass from Yu Yu's hand, carefully observed the deceased's worn hip bone, calcaneus and skull section, and said without any emotion: "Judging from the bone tissue, the age of the deceased should be between 60 and 70 years old. The injuries of the corpses were basically on the same plain, which seriously overlapped with the road surface, and the direction of friction was consistent with the direction of force on the ground. The friction marks in the direction of the friction surface are in the form of strips, indicating that the friction between the deceased and the ground is almost unchanged. ”
"In other words, the deceased was indeed dragged to death on the ground?"
The informant, Aunt Jiang, may really be possessed by Sherlock Holmes, and actually let her say it.
Shao Yong, the captain of the first team, was speechless: "Who is so vicious and has such a heavy hand on an old man!"
Xue Qingxia shook her head: "It's just a preliminary judgment, and the specific cause of death will not be able to reach an accurate conclusion until further autopsy." ”
Lei Kang asked, "Can the time of death be determined?"
"The deceased's head was severely missing, and the cornea could not be seen, but the muscles no longer contracted, and the corpse spots fused into large patches and began to develop rapidly, and the preliminary judgment was that the time of death should be about 12 hours, that is, around 7 to 8 o'clock last night. Xue Qingxia said.
"Cai Wang, immediately contact the traffic police and ask them to check the suspicious vehicles or individuals who passed by this road between 7 and 8 o'clock last night. ”
Lei Kang said with a calm face: "Everyone deal with the scene as soon as possible, don't cause traffic jams, and Shao Yong, you take Qin Zihe, Song Zhiyi and the comrades from the police station to visit the surrounding area to see if there are any missing people." Now it is first necessary to find the source of the body, understand the interpersonal relationship of the deceased before his death, and judge the cause of death of the deceased. ”
"Understood. ”
At the sound of an order, everyone got busy, and Xiao Ran and Zhang Lei surveyed the area they were responsible for.
At this time, the scene is quite hard for the technicians, and it is good to be able to find an open space without footprints with a camera, not to mention traces.
Of course, except for cigarette butts that can weigh a few catties when sorted out on the ground.
Zhang Lei walked over the area assigned to him with a dead face, pulled his face and said, "There is not a single hair." ”
"It's normal, it's not the first scene. Xiao Ran said.
"Definitely, there was a little blood under the corpse, there must have been a lot of bleeding for such a serious injury, where did his blood go? And the skull was comminuted and fractured, two-thirds was missing, where was the skull and brain tissue?"
Zhang Lei nodded and said: "Didn't Brigade Lei and Director Peng go to the police station to mobilize the surrounding people to find the first scene, there should be news...... Hey, do you judge how this man died, is it really like the aunt said, tied hands and feet and dragged in the back of the car?"
"It's hard to say if he was dragged by a car, but his hands and feet must not be tied. Xiao Ran said.
Zhang Lei asked curiously, "How do you know?"
"You didn't look at the corpse, if it is dragged after tying, the wrists, neck, and ankles, one of the three parts will definitely leave obvious grooves. ”
Xiao Ran touched the tip of his nose and said: "The force of dragging the human body on the ground is very large, and with such a force, even if there is a pad, there will be very obvious subcutaneous bleeding...... And the title of the deceased also indicates that the upper limbs were not bound, and if the lower limbs were to be tied, the deceased's ankles must have been off the ground, but his calcaneus bone was also worn off. ”
In other words, the deceased was not pulled here by ropes or the like. ”
Zhang Lei was a little confused, "Then how did he grind all the way?"
Xiao Ran frowned: "Have you pushed the burden?"
