Chapter 5: Clues on the Corpse
"Hello, I'm Lin Xiuyi, a police department of the first class of search, this is my subordinate, Aizawa, Hanaga!" Lin Xiuyi led his subordinates to stand outside the dissolution room of the scientific search and research, bowed slightly, and introduced himself.
"Hello, I'm Chiyo Tanaka, a forensic researcher in the forensic section!" the other party bowed back, and then let everyone into the house. Lin Xiuyi and the others were asked to put their personal belongings outside, and then put on protective clothing in accordance with the regulations. Only then was he allowed to enter the unplaning room.
Two days have passed since the discovery of the corpse, and the identification work of the research institute is still continuing, because the corpse was thrown into the sea, and the microorganisms and scavenging organisms in the sea have caused serious damage to the corpse, which has brought great trouble to the identification work of the research institute.
The case of the murder of the suspect has been transferred to another team to be responsible, and Lin Xiuyi's department is the Sexual Crime Investigation Department 2, which is not responsible for the homicide case. However, he is still in the internship stage of the police department, and it is very likely that he will be sent to other departments to serve as police officers in the future. Therefore, as long as there is a criminal case, Lin Xiuyi has the opportunity to participate in the on-site work and accept the guidance of his seniors, which is why Minato will notify him to appear after the body is found.
Although the murder case is not under Lin Xiu's control, the victim of the Hong Kong case is the suspect in the serial indecent assault case he is responsible for. He is obliged to find out the true identity of the suspect as soon as possible and let the victims of the first three cases identify the murderer. Therefore, Lin Xiu didn't wait for the identification work of the scientific search and research to end, so he couldn't wait to find the door.
When Lin Xiu walked into the dissecting room, the body of the suspect was quietly placed on the dissecting table, the skin and flesh on the chest were cut in a Y-shape and divided to both sides, and the ribs were cut off and moved out of the chest.
The evidence tables around the dissection room were densely packed with evidence found from corpses, which were photographed one by one and then archived, just seeing these evidences, Lin Xiuyi knew that the identification class was definitely not easy these days.
"Can you determine the time of death?" Lin Xiuyi took the initiative to ask.
"No, the corpse is too badly damaged!" replied Chiyo Tanaka with a wry smile.
"Can I get a closer look at the corpse?" Lin Xiuyi asked Chiyo Tanaka for instructions, he was not a professional forensic doctor, and it would not be good if he disturbed other people's work by casually moving around.
"Yes, but you can't do it yourself!I can do it for you if you need it!" Chiyo Tanaka quickly reminded.
As soon as Lin Xiu got permission, he leaned down and took a closer look at the corpse. There was a large hole in the back of the deceased's head, and the broken skull had been removed and placed in a glass petri dish, with the help of the light of the shadowless lamp, Lin Xiuyi could see that there was no white brain tissue in it.
"The deceased also had some scars on his face, but they were festering, and if you look closely, you can see that there are subtle bite marks on these scars. Most of these are caused by the creatures on the bottom of the sea, shrimp, crabs, and some scavenging creatures on the bottom of the sea will treat the corpses in the sea as a hearty meal, especially those crab creatures, they can use their own pincers to tear the skin and flesh of the deceased, burrow into the inside of the corpse, to eat the nutritious internal organs, and some other scavengers will also enter, so although the appearance of the corpse is relatively intact, the inside has been eaten up......"
Chiyo Tanaka introduced the situation of the corpse to Lin Shuichi from a professional point of view. Lin Xiuyi listened carefully and observed carefully. At the same time, he was reminiscing about the day when the dead were captured.
Lin Xiuyi remembered that he was taking his subordinates to perform other tasks near the scene of the crime that day, when he was passing by an alley and happened to hear the sound of a woman crying from there. He quietly hid at the mouth of the alley and saw that the suspect was molesting a girl, and the physical characteristics of the suspect at that time were very similar to the suspect in the continuous molestation case in Wenjing District, so Lin Xiuyi quietly notified Aizawa to come over to support by text message. It's a pity that Lin Xiuyi was soft-hearted for a while and couldn't stand the miserable cries of the victims, so he took action in advance without waiting for Aizawa and Hanagata to rush over.
Lin Xiuyi rushed up as soon as his brain was hot, and after the suspect found him, he put on his pants and ran away. Lin Xiuyi was in hot pursuit, and while running, he used the phone to contact Aizawa to inform him of his direction.
Lin Xiu followed the suspect into the park by the river with all his strength, and when the suspect turned the corner, he stumbled a little, and Lin Xiu saw the opportunity to pounce. Then he scuffled with the suspect.
Lin Xiuyi's strength was not as strong as the other party, so he could only tear with the other party. I pulled his hair and ears with all my might. Then the other party's ear seemed to be torn by himself, and the suspect screamed in pain, angrily picked himself up and pushed down the steps.
Yes, there were blood stains on the ears, I remember it well. The suspect did have injuries to his ears.
Lin Xiuyi recalled the scene a month ago, he walked to the suspect's head again, leaned down, and observed the suspect's right ear up close.
If you don't remember it, there should be a wound in the earlobe, which was left by yourself.
As soon as Lin Xiu wanted to make a move, he was stopped by Chiyo Tanaka. Chiyo Tanaka said unhappily: "Police Department, don't mess with the suspect's body!"
"Researcher Tanaka, there is a laceration wound behind the victim's ear, which should have been caused by me, can you help me take a look?" Lin Xiuyi requested.
Chiyo Tanaka walked over and gently turned the victim's neck to the left at a suitable angle. Then look at the area behind the victim's ear under the light, and there is indeed a wound there.
Aizawa and Hanagata also gathered, and everyone looked at the wound seriously. Chiyo Tanaka picked up a pinch and slowly lifted the skin from the wound.
"Huh, that's weird!" Chiyo Tanaka swapped the tweezers to her left hand, picked up another pair of tweezers with a pointed head, carefully plunged them down into the wound, and then pinched something like a grain of rice out of it.
"Researcher Tanaka, what is this?" Aizawa asked curiously.
"It looks like the eggs of houseflies, and they haven't produced maggots yet. As she spoke, Chiyo Tanaka took a picture of the wound with her camera and collected the housefly eggs in a petri dish and marked them.
Lin Xiuyi originally wanted Tanaka Chiyo to observe the degree of healing of the wound, because this wound was caused by the day Lin Xiuyi was taken to the hospital, and if he could estimate how many days it would take for the wound to heal and regenerate, he could know that the deceased was killed a few days after Lin Xiuyi was injured! This is the only way that Lin Xiuyi has come up with now to determine the time of death.
"The eggs of houseflies, wasn't he thrown into the sea after he died?" Hanagata asked, confused.
"The wound was fresh and there were no obvious signs of healing, so it should have been killed not long after the injury!" Chiyo Tanaka added.
"That means that this guy was placed somewhere after he died, and after a while, he was thrown into the sea!" Lin Xiuyi concluded.
