Chapter 361 Determining the Identity of the Deceased
Zhang Meixian finally added: "The time of death was about three days ago. The body of the deceased was already highly swollen, and coupled with the hot weather, white bugs were already wriggling in some places. So many clues on the deceased have been destroyed, and now, the most important thing is to determine the identity of the deceased first. ”
Song Ruilong nodded, and he took Su Xianrong and Shao Qianshu to the side of the deceased.
Song Ruilong lifted the white cloth on the deceased and said to Shao Qianshu: "Gang Master Shao, please see if this deceased is Guo Huayun?"
When Shao Qianshu saw the deceased's blurred head, he wanted to vomit in disgust, and then looked at the deceased's swollen body like a dead pig and coarse cloth clothes, she immediately shook her head and said, "He is not Guo Huayun." Although his age is the same as Guo Huayun's, there is no place on his body like Guo Huayun's. ”
Song Ruilong also felt that that person was not like Guo Huayun, so he stood up, looked at the onlookers, and said, "Let's see, does anyone know the identity of this deceased?"
After many people saw it, they shook their heads and said they didn't know it.
How to solve a case if the identity of the deceased cannot be determined? Song Ruilong was a little anxious in his heart.
If no one knows the identity of the deceased, then the only way to find out is from the missing persons in Ping'an County, and if the identity of the deceased cannot be determined, then the only way to do so is to send a notice outside Ping'an County to see if there are any missing persons in other places.
If this is the case, then this nameless corpse case is likely to become an unsolved case.
When Song Ruilong was in distress, suddenly an old lady squeezed through the crowd and came to Song Ruilong with the support of a young man, and said, "My lord, let the old man see if the deceased is the son of the old man." The old man's son has been missing for three days. ”
The old lady was about to kneel down for Song Ruilong, but Song Ruilong held her and said, "Old man, this gift is waived." You first see if the deceased is your son. ”
The old lady saw the deceased's blue coarse cloth clothes. Then he began to weep and say, "My son! You died so miserably, who beat you to death, you tell your mother. ”
Song Ruilong said: "Auntie, why do you think that the deceased is your son?"
The old lady stopped crying and said, "My lord." The old son's clothes before leaving were blue coarse cloth. On his right wrist, there is also a blue patch that the old body has patched for him, and adults can check it. ”
Su Xianrong raised the deceased's right arm, looked at it, nodded and said, "Brother Song, there is a patch half the size of a palm on the deceased's right arm, blue, and it is the same as what the eldest lady said."
Song Ruilong felt that just one patch could not explain the identity of the deceased as the old lady's son, so he asked again, "Auntie." If you think about it, do you have any other special marks on your son? ”
The old lady thought about it again and said, "The old son, Liu Zhengxiang, lost two of his front teeth last year and accidentally fell off."
Su Xianrong pried the deceased's mouth open with an iron bar to see that the deceased's two front teeth were indeed gone, but because the corpse was highly decomposed, it was really not easy to know when those two front teeth fell out.
Su Xianrong looked at Song Ruilong and said, "Brother Song, the deceased does not have two front teeth in his mouth. However, the time of the loss of the front teeth cannot be determined. ”
Song Ruilong said lightly: "I saw it." He looked back at the old lady and said, "Old man, we need more proof to confirm that the deceased is your son."
The old lady thought for a moment. "There is a black birthmark the size of an egg on the back of the deceased, which he has carried since the day he was born."
Su Xianrong immediately turned the deceased over, lifted the clothes on the deceased's back and looked at it, and said, "The deceased's back really has a black birthmark the size of an egg."
The old lady continued, "When the old son went out, he also carried four taels of silver and some loose pieces of silver."
Song Ruilong was a little excited: "We found four taels of silver on the deceased's body, and all indications indicate that the deceased is your son Liu Zhengxiang." But. How could your son die here? When your son left home three days ago, did he say what he was doing? ”
When Liu Zhengxiang's mother heard the result, she cried out in grief and fainted. Fortunately, a young man next to the old lady held her up.
Su Xianrong looked at Song Ruilong and said, "Brother Song." Now that we have identified the deceased, we will first send someone to return the body of the deceased to the morgue of the county government, and we will go to Liu Zhengxiang's home to carefully understand the situation. ”
Song Ruilong nodded and said, "It's okay!"
Song Ruilong turned to look at the young man who was helping the old lady and said, "What's your name?" What is the relationship with Liu Zhengxiang's mother? ”
The young man lowered his head and said, "Xiaomin's name is Wang Baoquan, and he is a neighbor of Liu Zhengxiang's mother. Liu Zhengxiang's mother is called Zhou Yujiao, Aunt Zhou usually treats Xiaomin well, what happened to her family, how could Xiaomin stand by and watch? ”
Song Ruilong said: "Wang Baoquan, now that Aunt Zhou's son has been found, what we have to do now is to find out the murderer as soon as possible." You help Aunt Zhou home first, and we'll arrive later. ”
Wang Baoquan said with anger: "My lord, I hope you will arrest the murderer as soon as possible, bring him to justice, and return justice to Aunt Zhou."
Song Ruilong said: "Don't worry." The prefecture will be. ”
Wang Baoquan was about to get up and leave, when Song Ruilong asked again: "You told Aunt Zhou the news that there is a dead body here, right?"
Wang Baoquan nodded and said: "Since Ah Xiang disappeared, Aunt Zhou has gone to Xiaomin's house every day to complain, saying that she must let Xiaomin help her find out Xiaoxiang's whereabouts. This morning, Xiao Min heard the people on the set say that an unknown male corpse had been found on Li Menghu's boat, and Xiao Min immediately told Zhou Da Niang the news. Aunt Zhou suspected that the deceased was her son, so she rushed over with Xiaomin. ”
Song Ruilong said: "This is the case, okay, you take Aunt Zhou back first!"
Song Ruilong asked the four officials to carry Liu Zhengxiang's body back to the county office, and he instructed Wei Bixi and Liu Tianxiong: "Bixiao, Tianxiong, you two are responsible for inquiring in the Honghuaji, three days ago, to see if anyone has seen Liu Zhengxiang, you must ask where Liu Zhengxiang last appeared." Rong Rong and I went to Zhou Da's mother's house to ask if Liu Zhengxiang had any enemies. ”
Wei Bixiao glanced at Su Xianrong with some unhappiness, and said with emotion: "Okay then, Master Liu and I will go now." (To be continued......)
