Chapter 365: A Strange Cause of Death

It is difficult to solve a case, and it is even more difficult to file a false case.

With so much authority and so much police and financial resources, it is not easy for the operational command to make everything seamless. After two days of screening, the expert group finally found a body that should theoretically be able to bluff Han Daxian in the small town adjacent to Beihu and Nanhu.

Huang Yuanliang was not very relieved, and decided to come over and take a look in person, so that he could design the case and prepare the case file materials next.

It was highly confidential, and the leaders of the county public security bureau were all kept in the dark, and only a criminal police squadron leader and a forensic doctor who were temporarily transferred to the expert group knew about it.

The two accompanied Huang Yuanliang and his entourage into the morgue of the funeral home, pulled open the body that was about to be transferred to the centralized case handling point more than 100 kilometers away, and reported in a low voice: "The deceased's surname is Xiang, his name is Xiang Mingyu, a native of Hushan County, Xichuan Province, who was 21 years old at the time of death. Boyfriend Shi Guizhu, 23 years old, a local, Hunan cuisine chef, the two met when they were working in a restaurant in GZ.

On June 13 this year, Shi Guizhu took Xiang Mingyu home to meet his parents, planning to get married during the Spring Festival. The son brought his girlfriend back, and planned to talk about marriage, the two old men of the Shi family were overjoyed, put on a banquet, and invited all their relatives and friends over, but just when the little two were toasting, Xiang Mingyu suddenly collapsed. ”

The deceased's hometown is far away in Xichuan, and if the crime scene is designed in another county or city, it can be turned into a nameless corpse. Huang Yuanliang observed the autopsied corpse and asked expressionlessly, "What happened later?" ”

The forensic doctor took over the conversation and said cautiously: "One of the guests had a car, and he immediately sent Xiang Mingyu to the People's Hospital with the Shi family, and he was rescued for about one hour. He was not rescued and stopped breathing at about 2 p.m. on June 14. The daughter died suddenly in Beihu in vain. It was difficult for his parents to accept that it was related to the man. Arriving there, we immediately called the police and asked for an autopsy.

In the spirit of being responsible for the family of the deceased, I studied the medical records at least 5 times. In order not to miss any details, the medical records were also copied, and the cause of death in the hospital was written: death from respiratory and circulatory failure, and then a large list of possibilities, such as heat stroke, septic shock, etc., each with a big question mark hanging on the back. ”

Professor Li, a forensic doctor who accompanied the expert group, asked lightly: "Every patient stops breathing and heartbeat when they die. Can death from respiratory and circulatory failure be considered a cause of death? ”

A well-known expert in forensic toxicology, I listened to his lectures when I was in college.

In the face of the old-timer's questioning, the forensic doctor really didn't know how to answer, and hesitated for a while before he said helplessly: "Professor Li, we can't blame the doctors, the patient died too quickly, and they didn't have time to do too many tests. I asked the emergency doctors who were involved in the rescue, and they clearly described how the death occurred: the patient first breathed weakly, and then his heart stopped. It seems to be a paralysis of the respiratory muscles, but the cause cannot be determined. ”

"What about the results of your test?"

The medical examiner took a deep breath and reported with trepidation: "There are many types of sudden death, such as heart attack or stroke. On the face of it, the deceased met these conditions. Meet your future parents-in-law. She is very welcome, her relatives are very good, and the overexcitement overwhelms the already fragile heart or brain. Triggering a heart attack or stroke.

However, the autopsy found that there was no intracranial hemorrhage, not epidural, subdural, subarachnoidal, or intracerebral tissue. Not even the slightest bleeding or infarction (blockage of blood vessels, one of the most common causes of stroke) is not seen under the microscope. The heart did not find any evidence of avascular necrosis. And her coronary arteries are healthy, which basically excludes both possibilities. ”

Food poisoning has a process that doesn't die so quickly.

Even if a highly toxic substance is ingested by mistake, it can be detected from the contents of the stomach.

Professor Li, like Qi Zhaoyou, the former head of the backlog investigation section of "801", has "read countless corpses", but he has never seen such a strange cause of death.

He pondered for a moment, then asked, "What about pathology?" ”

The forensic doctor took out an autopsy report from his bag and said with frustration: "After the pathological section came out, I put the deceased's various organs under the microscope to look for any tiny lesions, and still could not find any evidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, but I found that the deceased had a small amount of hemosiderin left after the destruction of red blood cells in the liver, and some proteins left after the destruction of red blood cells in the kidneys." ”

Professor Li was stunned for a moment, then took out his mobile phone, turned on the mobile phone flashlight software, and carefully examined the corpse, and said in a low voice while inspecting: "This shows that the deceased had red blood cell hemolysis, has the urine been tested?" ”

"It was examined, and it found destroyed red blood cell pigments."

Professor Li didn't gnaw again, but continued to check, from head to toe, every place, confirmed that there were no scars on the body surface except for the anatomical position, straightened up and rubbed his sore waist, and said incomprehensibly: "How can red blood cell hemolysis occur?" ”

He was confused, Huang Yuanliang was even more confused, and asked with a puzzled expression: "Professor Li, under what circumstances does red blood cell hemolysis usually occur?" ”

"It can be caused by a variety of physical and chemical factors and toxins, in vitro, hypotonic solutions, mechanical strong oscillation, sudden cryogenic freezing or sudden thawing, excessive acid or alkali, as well as alcohol, ether-ether, saponine, choline salts can cause hemolysis; In vivo, hemolysis can be caused by invasion by hemolytic bacteria or certain snake venom, antigen-antibody reactions, such as transfusions of incompatible blood, various mechanical injuries, red blood cell defects, and certain drugs. ”

Professor Li glanced back at the corpse and continued, "Hemolytic bacteria can cause sepsis, but she is obviously not; It is unlikely that the malaria parasite will destroy red blood cells, and there are no injuries on the body surface, so snake venom can be ruled out. There was no blood transfusion, and there was no mechanical injury, and the cause of death was really strange. ”

Xiao Wu couldn't help but ask, "Professor, didn't you say that alcohol is okay?" ”

"It was in vitro, and the autopsy report showed that the alcohol concentration in the stomach was not high, so I probably didn't drink much."

The captain of the criminal police confirmed: "We have verified this, we drank a small glass of beer at noon, and it collapsed as soon as we started to toast the guests, and no one persuaded us to drink, let alone pour it." ”

A criminal psychologist walked up to the corpse, held his chin and asked, "Is it possible to poison it?" ”

Professor Li shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Snake venom is a kind of protein, if it is cooked and eaten, it will be because the protein has coagulated, and there will be nothing at all, so GD has a famous dish called 'snake bite chicken', which is boiled and eaten after biting the chicken to death with a poisonous snake, and it is said to taste very delicious." It is still a protein when drunk raw, and as long as there are no ulcers in the mouth, as long as it does not enter the bloodstream, it is generally fine. ”

Huang Yuanliang went to GD, and while leading everyone outside, he confirmed: "GD not only has 'snake bites chicken', but also can order the poison of king cobras." A few years ago, I went there on a business trip, and an old friend ordered it, and I didn't dare to drink it. He drank it, nothing happened, and said something to clear heat and turn poison. ”

"Director, is this corpse transferred?"

"Just because we can't find out the cause of death doesn't mean he can't. Transport, set up some obstacles, and see how he breaks this game. ”

Huang Yuanliang walked to the side of the car and suddenly remembered something, and then turned around and asked: "Xiao Qian, there is no problem with the relatives of the deceased, if they come back and can't find the body, it will definitely be very troublesome." ”

The captain of the criminal police sighed lightly, held on to the car door and said with a wry smile: "They believe that Xiang Mingyu was killed by him, and they don't accept the cause of death given by the hospital, and they don't believe our autopsy report." Similarly, the leaders of the Economic Bureau asked them to invite experts from the Forensic Identification Center of the Provincial Medical University to come over for an examination two months ago, but after still not detecting the possibility of his murder, they left the body and returned to their hometown in Xichuan regardless of it. ”

"Why not?"

"The body was stored for several months, and the funeral home asked for more than 20,000 mortuary fees, and the cremation also cost money, and they were unwilling to bear it. The Shi family is reasonable and willing to help the deceased handle the funeral, but without their consent, even if they pay the money, the funeral home will not dare to cremate. The funeral home urged us, we called her home many times, and we were able to get through at first, but we couldn't get through during this time, and we couldn't get in touch, so the bureau was very passive. ”

"Then transfer it, and send it back in a few days anyway."

"Yes!"

……………

At the same time, Han Jun, who had just finished shopping with his wife and daughter, received encouraging news.

The police in Tao Suqin's hometown provided the first list of personnel, and one of them actually appeared in the list of parents of students in the Criminal Police Brigade of the Xinyang Branch at the same time.

A clear direction of investigation has been pointed out, and breakthroughs have been made in the investigation work.

Yaoyao has never been so excited now, looking at the email and said excitedly: "Niu Chuanfu, male, 32 years old, from Jingmen City, Beihu Province, university culture, Xinyang District Tuanjie Street clerk. Wife Jian Shuzhen, 29 years old, university culture, clerk of the Xinyang District Cultural Bureau, has a car, has children, and has hired a tutor. And the neighbor confirmed that the tutor was very similar to Tao. ”

People have left their names, and geese have left their voices.

As long as you are a person living in the real society, how can you not leave some clues. It's him, can't be wrong, Han Jun stroked her forehead, and his mood was extremely comfortable.

"Daddy, I feel like it's him, what's next?"

"We don't have to worry about the next thing, he is a public official, and Officer Tai will be very cautious to secretly collect his DNA samples first, and at the same time send people to monitor them, and then arrest people after the DNA comparison is out. In addition, Officer Tai will also investigate his mobile phone calls, QQ and WeChat chat records. In short, as long as he did it, he would definitely not be able to escape. ”

"But I want to ask him why he killed Tao."

She swore to God, and attributed all this to God's blessing, doing things must have a beginning and an end, how could Han Jun not satisfy her daughter's little wish, and agreed: "No problem, we will know the result early tomorrow morning at the latest, if it is really him, we will go with Officer Tai to arrest someone."
