[3] Deadly ritual
Located on the pedestrian street on the west side outside the Xichuan Public Security Bureau, there is a small snack bar.
Ou Ye bit open a bottle of beer like a female man and filled my cup: "Bai Xiaotian, oh no, from now on, I should change my name to you Master...... Master is above, please accept the little brother's worship. ”
I am the master, she calls herself the little brother, this generation is messy enough!
I picked up the beer handed over by Ou Ye and took a sip: "Old Ou loved to drink this flavor the most when he was alive, and you would choose ...... of it."
"Don't talk about Lao Ou, there will only be Xiao Ou by your side in the future. ”
Ou Ye pretended to be calm, raised his glass, and motioned to clink glasses with me, I stared at the golden liquid in the cup: "Old Ou is gone, but we are eating and drinking here, don't you think it's a little inappropriate?"
"Those who are gone, one hundred are gone, and those who are alive must live strongly, so as to be worthy of them who are gone......"
Ou Ye took a sip of wine, choking on tears, it can be seen that she didn't know how to drink before, but she can't drink is here to invite me to drink, isn't this pretending to be strong?
Three years ago, I pretended to be strong like this, but three years later, I still haven't been strong.
Seeing Ou Ye in front of me, who was strong on the surface but actually fragile, I felt like I saw myself three years ago, which was like a reincarnation, going round and round, and returning to the original point.
Ou Ye saw me looking at her in a daze, wiped a handful of tears, and said viciously: "You bad master, what are you staring at your aunt and grandmother, don't you want to soak his daughter when you see Lao Ou leaving?"
"I'll ...... Don't talk nonsense, eat quickly, I still have to go through the transfer procedures after eating......"
I finished the wine in the glass, picked up a piece of meat on the table and stuffed it into my mouth, Ou Ye suddenly pressed my hand: "Don't eat it!"
"What's wrong?"
"Don't you think this meat is a little weird?"
"What's the strange?"
"Look at the shape of it, what does it look like?"
"Like, like an abalone, no, an abalone...... Huh!"
I stared at the piece of meat that looked like an abalone on the side of my mouth, and smelled a heavy fishy smell that wafted into my nostrils and made me feel sick and vomit.
With a dark face, I put the slices of meat on the table and looked up at Ou Ye, who also looked at me, but the expression was extremely unnatural.
After hesitating for a while, she muttered to me in a whisper: "Whether you believe it or not, anyway, I want to tell you that this piece looks too similar, too similar, like ......"
She was ashamed to say the following words, and I waved my hand and motioned for Ou Ye not to say any more.
I called the waiter loudly, and after the waiter came, I pointed to the waiter with the piece of meat: "Waiter, what kind of meat is this meat?"
"Ostrich meat, it's fresh. ”
The waiter used his chopsticks to pull the plate of "ostrich meat", and suddenly his movements and expressions froze, and he saw that another piece of meat that looked like abalone on the plate was stained with a tuft of curly hair.
"Gross. ”
Ou Ye, who was sitting opposite, vomited on the spot, I stared at the abalone-shaped slice of meat sticky with curly hair, and sneered at the waiter: "Hurry up and call your boss, he may have a big deal......"
The snack bar owner is really in a big deal.
When we brought the so-called "ostrich meat" back for testing, we found that the so-called "ostrich meat" turned out to be a plate of human tissue.
And this tissue part is very sensitive, this is two-thirds of the female pubic area, it does sound like a disgusting and terrifying thing, the snack bar actually sells human tissue in a grand manner, in today's legal society, this is simply unforgivable.
What's more, selling near the Public Security Bureau, doesn't this take the police seriously?
The police quickly arrested Zhang, the owner of the snack bar, and according to Zhang's confession, the pieces of meat he sold were some scraps of meat stored in his refrigerator, which were left by the previous operator.
He had just changed hands to this snack bar, and while cleaning it he found many pieces of meat left in the freezer, which did not look like pork and beef.
He thought of the ostrich meat that was very popular on the market in Xichuan recently, so he came up with a plan to sell this meat of unknown origin as ostrich meat, but he didn't expect that the next day after the sale, we found that it was human tissue.
The police cleared three bags of meat wrapped in grocery bags from the freezer of the snack bar owner's house, and after testing, all of them were human corpses.
The corpse was from a young woman, between the ages of sixteen and twenty-four, with a thin body, no head, limbs, or even internal organs, and all the parts of the torso had been cut into pieces with an average weight of about a few tens of grams.
The body parts were divided into three bags and frozen in a freezer at about -18 degrees Celsius, because the temperature was low, and the body parts showed no signs of deterioration.
Liu Zhen, the head of the crime department, conducted a surprise interrogation of the snack bar owner Zhang overnight, and only got one useful clue, the restaurant was transferred by him, and the transfer procedures were handled in a hurry, and the price was extremely low.
Liu Zhen lit a cigarette and looked at me: "Officer Bai, I think this perpetrator should be the previous owner of the snack bar, he murdered and absconded, and planted the blame." ”
"What about motivation?"
I frowned and asked, "If you want to kill someone and frame you, it's too stupid to go to such a big time, right?"
"There are many criminals in this world, and their actions are incomprehensible to us ordinary people. ”
Liu Zhen couldn't say what motivated him, but he still insisted on his opinion.
He quickly deployed his work, and Kuroko led a group of people to check if there were any young women who had suddenly disappeared in the vicinity recently.
Jiang Qingqing, Liang Feng and others followed the clues of the former owner of the snack bar, and I was inconvenient to meddle in this case because of the special period.
Out of the office, Ou Ye asked me, "Master, do you know that the female corpse that you and my father found was cooked?"
"Cooked?"
I exclaimed, Ou Ye nodded, and whispered to me, "It just so happens that the female corpse will be autopsied this afternoon, if you are okay, you can come and visit." ”
"Is it you?"
"Of course. ”
Ou Ye raised his eyebrows and said triumphantly......
……
At the autopsy scene, the female corpse was still placed on the table in a strange posture, and I asked Ou Ye: "You said that the female corpse was cooked, on what basis?"
"Have you seen that the skin of the corpse is wrinkled and whitish, and there is a severe shrinkage, imagine that a piece of chicken is wrinkled and white with shrinkage, what does that mean?"
Ou Ye put on gloves and asked me about the seriously shrunken corpse, and also looked at the corpse, nodding thoughtfully: "Cook the corpse to fix the posture of the corpse, because only the cooked corpse can fix the posture...... Why did the killer do this?"
"If the guess is correct, he is to complete some kind of ritual, that is, the legendary ritual killing!"
Ou Ye is worthy of being the daughter of Lao Ou, the tiger father has no dog girl, not only has excellent forensic expertise, but also is good at reasoning, it seems that it is really terrifying!
"Ritual killing, ritual killing, ritual killing...... again"
This reminds me of what Chen Mei told me three years ago, when she said this to me in front of a tattooed female corpse.
But she didn't solve the mystery of this ritual murder until she died, and even in order to solve this mystery, she infiltrated that organization and let the people inside tattoo a humiliating tattoo on herself......
My heart suddenly hurt, but luckily Ou Ye reminded me that the dissection was about to begin, which disrupted my thinking.
Only after dissecting the female corpse can I get clues hidden in the shadows from the forensic doctor.
Sometimes, corpses speak, and the forensic doctor is the mouth and eyes of the corpse!
This was Ou Ye's first physical autopsy, and her hand as she picked up the scalpel would still tremble, but she didn't flinch, walked to the dissecting table, and placed the strangely shaped female corpse on the table.
Because the female corpse has been matured, the body shape is more distorted, and it is not possible to lay it flat like other corpses, Ou Ye called two forensic doctors to assist, one of them supported one of the legs of the female corpse, Ou Ye slowly cut a slit on the female corpse's stomach with a scalpel, and then, broke it......
"The deceased had no internal or external injuries, and the suspicion of death caused by trauma is ruled out......"
"The internal organs of the deceased are intact, there is no poison in the stomach, and the suspicion of death by poisoning is ruled out......"
"There is no fluid accumulation in the lungs of the deceased, and there are no strangulation marks in the trachea, which excludes the suspicion of drowning and suffocation......"
"The deceased's physical function is normal, and the suspicion of death due to sudden illness is ruled out......"
“……”
After one suspect after another was cleared, only one last suspect remained: being boiled to death.
This is the answer that Ou Ye gave me, and she told me that the female corpse was boiled alive.
This was the answer that everyone expected, and I sneered and asked the simplest question: "There are no strangulation marks on the deceased's body, which means that at the time of death, he was not under any control, and there are no burns on his body, which also means that the deceased was not pushed into boiling water and killed." ”
"Master, what do you want to express?"
Ou Ye spread his hands helplessly and asked me, I said: "So the saying that this is boiled to death is not based on sufficient evidence, and it is impossible for a living person to be boiled to death without struggling." ”
"What if she was in a coma?"
Ou Ye asked me back, and I said, "If she was in a coma, then the cause of her death should be drowning." ”
"Master, do you remember an experiment in boiling frogs in warm water, where scientists put frogs in water and slowly heated them, and in the end the frogs were boiled to death by the slowly heated water...... What if the deceased was also killed by boiling a frog in warm water?"
The two of us, you and me, a good dissection scene, turned into a debate scene, the two of them have their own opinions, and no one is convinced by the other.
The other colleagues next to me couldn't interject, and when they saw that we were arguing hotly, they could only stare dryly.
I asked Ou Ye, "Could you please explain from the perspective of a forensic doctor why the deceased had a weird smile on his face?"
