Seeing her decision, Yang Tashan nodded secretly, this female head catcher also knows some criminal investigation knowledge. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Finally walked to the side of the corpse, this is a ** headless female corpse, the head is gone, the body is naked, the whole body is high [***], swollen, this is because the soft tissues of the corpse are filled with [***] gas, the skin of the body has turned a terrifying dirty green and covered with [***] vein nets, and the limbs are thick.
The headless corpse and limbs were covered with wounds of various sizes, one side of the ** had been cut off, and the wounds and genitals were covered with dense fly maggots, some of which burrowed into the skin and formed subcutaneous air sacs. The skin has been eaten by maggots.
Cheng Ziqin frowned when she saw this scene, and she really didn't know where to start. Yang Tashan said: "Catch the head, otherwise, I'll check it." ”
Cheng Ziqin shook his head: "Let's check together." Then he squatted next to the corpse with his nose covered.
Yang Tashan put down the forensic evidence investigation box and opened it, took out a pair of deerskin gloves and put them on, took a probe, squatted down on the other side of the corpse, and used the probe to sweep away the fly maggots that were densely packed with neck wounds, exposing the broken neck, and then leaned up to observe it carefully.
Cheng Ziqin also came up to take a look, and the thick smell of corpses almost stunned her. Yang Tashan didn't even cover his nose as if nothing happened.
Then, Yang Tashan used a probe to pull out the wriggling flies and maggots on the wounds on the corpse** and the wounds of different sizes in other parts, exposing the wounds. Then look closely.
However, due to the encroachment of maggots, the wound has been blurred, and it is difficult to judge what kind of wound it is.
After staring at the wound for a while, Yang Tashan used a probe to pull out the maggots that had accumulated in the genitals of the corpse, wanting to check the hymen to see if there was annihilation, which was part of the routine forensic examination, and the result made him disappointed and creepy - the maggots had gathered in the [***], gathered into a clump, rolled and squeezed out of [***], the vulva had been destroyed by the maggots, and the hymen could no longer be found.
Flies like to lay eggs in the eyes, nose, mouth, pubic area, anus and other natural openings of the corpse, and the hatched fly maggots will eat away at these places and destroy the relevant parts, which brings additional obstacles to detection.
Seeing this scene, Cheng Ziqin screamed in horror, although she had participated in many autopsies at the scene of the murder, it was the first time that it was so terrifying.
Subsequently, Yang Tashan turned the body over, and there were many wounds of different sizes on his back, which were also crawling with maggots.
Yang Tashan checked the distribution of corpse spots and the zombie situation again, and then used a probe to dig the soil on both sides of the corpse, and then nodded.
He stood up and asked, "Cheng Zhutou, what do you think of this case?" ”
Cheng Ziqin said: "The head is broken, and it is not near the corpse, so it is absolutely impossible to commit suicide, it should be killed." ”
Yang Tashan nodded and said, "It makes sense, but if he kills and cuts off his head, why isn't there much blood on the grass?" ”
Cheng Ziqin was stunned for a moment, frowned and asked, "What do you mean?" ”
Yang Tashan pointed at the severed neck of the corpse with a probe, and said: "The carotid artery is the most important artery in the human body, the skull is cut off, and the blood of the carotid artery will splash out like a fountain, so the location where the corpse falls to the ground, especially in a relatively large area around the neck, will be soaked with a large amount of blood gushing out of the body, because the blood is splashed out, so the nearby thatch will also be stained with blood droplets, although it is very hot in the past two days, but it has not rained, please look at the head, the color of the land near the neck of the corpse has not changed, There was no blood soaking, and most of the thatch next to it was not even stained with blood. ”
Now Cheng Ziqin understood, and she said with a gloomy face: "Then do you mean suicide?" If it's suicide, what about the skull? ”
Cheng Ziqin's logic is very clear: if a person wants to commit suicide, it is impossible to cut off the head, and he still has the ability to throw away or hide the head, on the contrary, if the head is not found at the scene, it means that he must have killed him.
Yang Tashan hurriedly said: "I don't mean that, I mean that this should not be the first scene, if it is not the first scene, then it is difficult to judge whether Jing committed suicide or homicide." ”
Cheng Ziqin was stunned, Yang Tashan's words were very right, whether it was suicide or homicide, it was possible that someone else would move his body here for some reason. In this way, Yang Tashan's words just now did not deliberately refute his own views, nor did he overturn his own views.
"Why do you say it's not the first scene? Just because there's not a lot of blood here? ”
"This is a very important basis for judgment, and there is another basis, the corpse spot of the corpse appears in the left side lying low,"
"What corpse spots...... Left side lying low...... What do you mean? "Cheng Ziqin has never heard of it.
Yang Tashan pointed to the dark purple scar on the left side of the corpse with a probe: "This is the corpse spot, which is formed by the blood that settles on the lower part of the corpse due to gravity after death, and then soaks into the human tissue. It is possible to determine whether the body has been moved after death based on the corpse spots. ”
"How can you be sure?"
"This corpse spot is concentrated on the left side of the corpse, that is, the left neck of the corpse, the left arm, the left rib and the left lateral thigh, indicating that the corpse has been lying on the left side for at least twelve hours after death, and the corpse spot is fixed at the bottom of the left side, and we saw the corpse just now, the corpse is facing the sky, and it can also be judged that the corpse has been moved."
The first time Cheng Ziqin heard this theory, some of the second monks were confused, and they couldn't figure it out for a while, so they returned to the topic just now, glanced at the corpse, and said in a deep voice: "You can't tell if it's suicide or homicide?" I think I can judge. ”
"How can you tell?" Yang Tashan asked curiously.
"Wound on the neck, when have you ever seen a suicide person cut off his entire head? At most, it's almost the same as cutting a big hole on the side, besides, under normal circumstances, a person needs a very fast knife and a lot of strength and fast speed to cut off his own head, which is almost impossible for ordinary people. What's more, one side of her breast ...... ** was cut off, her body was full of wounds, and a large piece of flesh on her thigh was cut off, and the bones were exposed. Moreover, after cutting these wounds, I am afraid that she would have passed out several times, how can she still have the strength to cut off her head? ”
Cheng Ziqin's point of view is very logical, cutting off the head must be fatal immediately, so it is impossible to cut the wounds on the body, therefore, this order should be to cut the wounds on the body first, and then cut the head last. There are too many wounds on the corpse, some of which are very serious, such as the wounds on the thigh, which are as deep as the bones below, and the wounds on the thighs even cut off the arteries of the legs.
"I agree with your point of view, but-" Yang Tashan used a probe to cut away all the maggots on the broken neck of the corpse, revealing the broken neck, and continued: "Head catcher, if you look closely, you will find that this fracture is not cut, and the injuries on the female corpse**, thighs and other parts are not cut. ”
"What?" Cheng Ziqin exclaimed in surprise, and then leaned over to carefully observe the wounds on his neck and other parts, and sneered: "If this head is not cut, is it torn off?" ”
"That's right! It's ripped! ”
At this moment, Zi Cheng Ziqin was really surprised, and then said with a disdainful face: "Although your martial arts are high, they are not ridiculously high!" You may be able to break someone's neck, but if you want to tear the neck alive, I'm afraid you don't have the ability to do it, right? ”
Yang Tashan said with a smile: "Don't say it's me, I'm afraid there is no one in this world who can tear off an adult's head alive." ”
"Then you just said ......"
"Don't worry, head catcher, first of all, I don't mean to be ripped off by life, and secondly, I don't mean to say that I am ripped off alive."
"It's not a human, is it still a ghost?"
"It's not a ghost, it's a wild dog or a jackal!"
Cheng Ziqin stared at Yang Tashan, feeling that the more he spoke, the more he said, the more he asked, "Is there any basis for what you said?" ”
"Yes!" Yang Tashan pointed to the fracture on his neck with a probe, "If it is a sharp cut, the wound wall is smooth......"
"But this break has been eaten messily by maggots, even if it is smooth, you can't see it!"
"You are right, the incision features of the soft tissues of the fracture have indeed been eaten away by maggots, and it is impossible to tell whether it is a sharp or blunt wound, but there is a place that will not be destroyed by maggots, and this place can tell us whether the head of the deceased was cut off."
"Where?"
Yang Tashan pointed to the cervical vertebrae at the broken neck of the deceased with a probe: "This is it!" The connection between the cervical vertebrae of the human being is very tight, and the upper and lower cervical vertebrae are inlaid with each other like the lock, and if you want to cut and separate them with a knife, it is impossible to completely do not hurt the bones of the cervical vertebrae. If you pay attention to the observation, you can see that there is no sharp weapon at the fracture, indicating that the cervical vertebra was not cut off, but torn off and broken. ”
Cheng Ziqin listened to what Yang Tashan said, hurriedly leaned up and took a closer look, nodded, but still had a hard mouth, and said: "Isn't it possible to use a knife to cut other places, and when only bones are left, tear them off again?" ”
"Hey, very imaginative. But if you were a murderer, wouldn't you be so troublesome? ”
"Maybe this murderer likes to kill people in this way." Cheng Ziqin seems to have made up his mind to go to the end with Yang on the top of the mountain.
"Of course there is such a possibility, but if we take a closer look at the fracture, we will find that this is not the case."
