When he returned to the bureau that day, Qiao Zhen heard that the body was pulled back to the compound, not that he confirmed that he had committed suicide, why did he pull it back again, was it the same as what he thought? Her heart moved, and she didn't bother to sort out the recording, so she went straight to the medical examiner's office.

In the autopsy room, Shi Yan and her assistant circled around the male corpse, busy recording and summarizing data, making analysis reports, only looked up at her, as if she was a little surprised why she came again, and then resumed a faint smile, neither beckoning her to go in, nor deliberately stopping her. She looked at the glass for a long time, and had to go to Chen Shijie, who was still outside, to understand the situation.

"You're back?" Chen Shijie looked at several instruments and was also recording data, and stopped what she was doing when he saw her.

Joe smiled apologetically and said, "I'm here to affect your work." Ask a few questions and go, otherwise it's really not okay to do it behind closed doors. ”

Chen Shijie responded refreshingly: "I know everything." ”

"What's suspicious, didn't you say call it a day?"

"Didn't you also look and ask for so long before you came back?" Chen Shijie asked rhetorically.

Qiao Zhen glared at him reproachfully, and he smiled and said, "When, you Miss Qiao can't afford to joke anymore?" Qiao Zhen understood that he was referring to Shi Yan's usual unrestrained smile.

"During our investigation, we found that the body had been moved, and the posture we saw was not the same as it had fallen."

This was beyond Qiao Zhen's expectations, and she hurriedly asked, "How did you find out, when you arrived at the scene, what was the original form of the corpse?" ”

"At that time, there was a lot of blood on the chest and shoulders of the deceased's gray shirt, and when we saw the corpse, we were in a supine position, although no one told us that 120 had come, but later it was confirmed that it was indeed the first time to jump off the building, and a passer-by called 120, so it made sense."

"So, his blood stains were blood from the wound on his head when he was lying on his stomach?"

"That's right, judging by his trauma, the first part of his actual fall was his right knee."

"Is it now certain that the fatal wound was formed in one go?"

"There is no doubt about this, the preliminary conclusions have just been drawn. With the exception of two old subcutaneous hemorrhages in the legs, all other injuries were caused by a single fall from a height. From an objective point of view, there is no possibility that the deceased has been violated before the fall. ”

Qiao Zhen frowned and checked the main points in the notebook: "Then now, is the time of death accurate?" ”

"The approximate time frame can be delineated."

"The girlfriend of the person concerned said that the jumping time was about 4 to 5 o'clock in the morning, but the time to call the police was 7 o'clock in the morning."

Chen Shijie said: "120 received the call at about 6 o'clock in the morning, and the victim's last call, the time range that can be demarcated is roughly between 4:45 and 6 o'clock." ”

"What if you want to know the exact time?"

"I really can't answer you, the weather and temperature factors, the surrounding environmental factors, all kinds of factors have a direct impact on the state of the corpse, and the situation is more complicated. If you don't have to come to a conclusion so quickly, you can see that they are still busy. Chen Shijie pointed in Shi Yan's direction, she glanced at them vigilantly, just met Qiao Zhen's eyes, and moved away as if nothing had happened, as if there had never been a meeting of eyes.

"Hey, has Shi Yan been thinking about anything lately?" Qiao Zhen lowered his voice and asked Chen Shijie.

The other party shook his head strangely: "She has always been so cold, we are all used to it." By the way, aren't you her roommate, you should know her better than we do, after all, we've been together for longer. ”

Qiao Zhen shook his head helplessly: "I can't read her more and more." ”

Chen Shijie looked at what she was filling in the notebook again, and was a little curious: "Do you think there is a problem with this high fall, and the criminal team is officially involved?" ”

Qiao Zhen "hey": "I don't know at the moment that I'm blind alone, this unnatural death always makes me feel a little indescribable, so I know more." Thank you, let me know if there is any news later. ”

She was just about to turn around to leave, when Chen Shijie stopped her and called up a picture for her to see, which was a close-up photo of the wound on the deceased's knee. Qiao Zhen didn't understand his intentions, Chen Shijie could only explain: "Look, is there anything else in his landing part besides blood?" ”

"Could this green mark be a paint scratch on the ground, or a plant that you touched during the fall?"

"Yes. If you can determine what kind of plant it is, and clarify its biological characteristics, maybe it is also a way to determine the time of the fall. ”

Qiao Zhen suddenly realized, it seems that Chen Shijie is sometimes very open-minded and flexible. It completely gave her a whole new perspective. In this way, it seems possible to arrive at the answer on the time of death more quickly, and the next steps are logical.

She looked at Chen Shijie expectantly: "Can this method work?" ”

He naturally understood what Qiao Zhen meant by "whether it would work with him", and looking at her eyes with expectation and longing, he sighed helplessly: "I'm digging a pit for myself." Okay, I'll tell you as soon as I get the result. ”

Qiao Zhen received Chen Shijie's WeChat at 8:30 p.m. that day. A simple line of words: "The time of death is determined." She was glad she hadn't left the office yet, kicked her phone and walked to the elevator, wanting to ask in person.

As soon as the elevator door opened, the first thing I saw was Shi Yan, probably going downstairs to deliver some report, and passed by her. Qiao Zhen saw that the whole group of people in the technical group was there

She beckoned to Chen Shijie from afar, and the other party blushed and nodded at her in full view of everyone. Before she could sit still, he explained: "Now combined with the autopsy and other clues, we believe that the time of death of the deceased was around half past five in the morning of the same day. ”

"100% sure?" Qiao Zhen asked.

"This year's summer in our city has broken a new high in terms of both days and temperature, from the strict astronomical and meteorological definition, the day of the incident has not yet entered autumn, and the temperature on that day is about 30 degrees, but this plant was caught by the deceased until it slipped down, and it can be seen carefully with a magnifying glass that there is fresh plant slurry oozing out of the fracture of the plant, which touched the wound site of the deceased and fell with him, so there is a situation where I show you."

"Is it possible to explain that only at this time, until you found the deceased, has the slurry of the plants not completely dried up due to the temperature?"

Chen Shijie nodded without hesitation.

Qiao Zhen was still full of questions.

He was a little puzzled: "I don't know what you still suspect, but you also know that from the perspective of on-site reconstruction, since there were only two men and a woman present at the time, how did they fall from the building, there are no bystanders, no video, the dead can't speak, the living may not tell the truth, we can only rely on evidence to seek the truth." ”

"However, I still feel that there is something wrong with this, and I can't tell for a while."

"Qiao Zhen, you are too intuitive to speculate and judge in this matter, this is not like your usual one." Shi Yan obviously heard their conversation just now, and judged mercilessly, "Since you think that this unnatural death time is not a simple suicide, what evidence is there to prove that it is not, and where is the point of your suspicion?" ”

"My confirmation is that this is a case, not an incident, and the focus is on the exact time when the deceased fell from the building, not simply whether there was a murderer."

"Now you know the time."

"In my conversation with the girl, her eyes have been avoiding me, and she has never been in direct contact with me, you know, the last time I went to the police, I saw her, her personality is more stubborn and even compulsive, her habit of looking at people is to look directly into other people's eyes, not simply sweeping, but always staring at you, as if she can see herself in your eyes."

"Maybe it's because she didn't feel particularly comfortable last time, so you were impressed, right?" Shi Yan unceremoniously hit the nail on the head.

"Yes, that's certainly one of them, but I would say that the girl is hiding something. Then I need to go back from the only numerical information she determined, the time of the jump, how much true composition of her testimony is? ”
