Chapter 36: Searching
As soon as the severed hand came out, everyone's faces changed.
The old criminal policeman who had been chattering before made the team even more embarrassed - after all, if it weren't for Brother Song's insistence on continuing to inspect the doll, this severed hand would probably only be burned or buried together with the doll and disposed of as an ordinary spicy chicken.
At that time, there is no chance that this case will be exposed, and who will be able to avenge the victims?
Even if he waited for ten days and half a month, the victim's relatives and friends could not contact him, and if he reported the case, I am afraid that it would only be treated as a missing case.
Su Ping's face also darkened a little, originally he just looked at the attitude of the old criminal policeman who was a little unpleasant, and he was also a little angry, just out of caution, let Brother Song check it carefully, lest this thing was really used to hide illegal smuggled goods.
When he saw the slit, he firmly believed in his own judgment, and felt that there was definitely something wrong with these latex blocks, but he didn't expect that there was a broken hand hidden in it.
Of course, a severed hand alone does not prove that the victim is dead.
"Ahem......" Qi Yuan took a deep breath, but he was almost choked by the rancid smell that permeated the garbage pool, and coughed twice before saying: "Team Su, do you want to carefully check these latex blocks, in addition, it is necessary to search this garbage pool carefully." ”
"Hmm." Su Ping bowed, looked at Brother Song, and said, "Song, you call Lao Xun, ask him to make a decision to file the case, and bring another group of people over." ”
After a pause, he looked at the squadron leader and said, "Lao Liu, ask your people to help, turn over this garbage pond for me, and see if I can turn things out!" ”
"Understood!"
……
After a while, the tall and thin policeman pulled out a half-sized plush doll from the garbage pool, with obvious sutures on the back of the dirty doll, and this small amount of blood.
After Brother Song took a picture, he cut the doll open on the spot and took out a head from it.
The head hair was shaved, but the delicate facial features could still identify the deceased as a woman.
Qi Yuan's cheeks bulged instantly.
"How?" This action happened to be seen by Su Ping, and he couldn't help glaring at him: "Do you still have the leisure to sell cuteness at this juncture?" What do big men sell? It's disgusting! ”
"......" Qi Yuan was almost choked.
The corners of Brother Song's mouth twitched, glanced over, and explained for him: "Team Su, Xiao Qi, I'm afraid he wants to vomit." ”
"Want to throw up?" Brother Song frowned: "How many cases have you received, and you haven't grown yet?" ”
"Whew......" Qi Yuan exhaled his vomited breath, feeling much better, so he shook his head again and again to signal that he was fine, and only said: "I haven't seen the corpse of maggots yet, and the garbage pool smells a little big, so I can't help it, I'm sorry, it's okay now." ”
Then he changed the topic: "The head is stuffed into the plush doll, how does this technique feel familiar?" ”
"Twenty years ago, it happened in Xiangjiang, the sensational HelloKitty body hiding case." Brother Song said: "If I remember correctly, this case seems to be related to the Rainy Night Butcher Case, the Happy Valley Carton Hiding Case and the Tuen Mun Sex Demon Case, which are called the four sensational cases in Xiangjiang. ”
"Yes, that's it." Qi Yuan said: "The same doll is used to hide the corpse, and the deceased are all women, will the murderer effectively imitate the possibility of committing the crime?" In addition, I remember that one of the murderers in that case seemed to have been sentenced to 18 years and then 9 years, and was released from prison some time ago, right? ”
"He was released from prison in 14 years." Brother Song shook his head and said: "The possibility of imitating the crime is not small, after all, after the publicity of film and television dramas, that case can be said to be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and widely known."
Moreover, hiding the body parts in dolls and latex blocks may indeed be disposed of as ordinary garbage, and eventually the case will be completely buried. If he hadn't made the mistake of choosing a simulated doll as a tool to hide the corpse, he would have met a sensitive and timid cleaner, and we didn't jump to conclusions......"
Speaking of this, he couldn't help but glance at the old detective again.
The old detective simply didn't look over his head and didn't look at this side.
is not cheeky, and he can't be an old salted fish.
"Keep searching." Su Ping put his head aside, covered it with a white cloth, and decisively ordered: "Turn over the garbage pool for me, and investigate it carefully!" Also, don't just stare at this garbage pool, search other garbage ponds and garbage cans nearby. Lao Liu, what about you squadron members? All pulled over. ”
"It's all here." Lao Liu said with a wry smile: "There are only more than ten people in our police station, and two colleagues from the household registration window are on duty, and at the same time, they take care of the police, and the rest of them are here." ”
"Then call colleagues from several other nearby police stations to come over." Su Ping said: "I just asked the sanitation workers, and the top is strict about hygiene, and the garbage pond is cleared twice a day.
These things must have been thrown between six o'clock yesterday evening and early this morning, and we have to turn them out quickly, otherwise it will be difficult to be cleared away by the sanitation workers. ”
"Understood."
……
Another twenty minutes passed in the blink of an eye.
When Yan Zhongxin followed Xun Mu to the scene, they were able to find a head, left palm and feet. As for the torso, legs, and arms, they have not been found.
Perhaps because these parts are relatively large and difficult to stuff into dolls, latex blocks and other things, the murderer dealt with them in other ways.
Yan Zhongxin glanced at the corpse parts a few times, frowned and said, "Didn't you find the waist and crotch?" ”
"Nope." Su Ping shook his head.
He also knew that in the case of dismemberment, the most important thing for the forensic doctor is the waist and hips, or more specifically, the pelvis.
With the pelvis in hand, the forensic doctor can quickly and accurately deduce a series of important clues such as the victim's age, gender, and even childbearing to help locate the source of the body.
Although these clues can also be roughly inferred from other aspects, such as roughly judging gender based on facial features and inferring gender based on the degree of tooth wear, they are not as comprehensive and accurate as the pelvis.
"The fingerprints are also worn out." Yan Zhongxin grabbed the severed palm, glanced at it, shook his head and said: "The knuckles are stiff, the skin is pale green, a small number of putrefactive bubbles can be seen, and a small number of bubbles burst and cause the epidermis to peel off, and the time of death is more than forty-eight hours."
In addition, three parallel blood bands can be seen on the wrist, accompanied by epidermal peeling, the deceased was restrained by ropes before his death, looking at the width and marks of the blood band, the restraint is not too thick, it may be a shoelace. ”
Putting down the severed palm, he picked up his head again, rolled his eyelids, and said, "The cornea is completely cloudy and seems to be adherent to the lens, and the pupil is not visible."
The oral mucosa was pale, and there were all wounds about two centimeters above the broken section of the neck, which were very long, spanning the middle and right parts of the neck, shallow on the left and deep on the right, and the deepest part of the vertebrae, carotid artery, trachea and esophagus were ruptured, and the injuries were fatal enough to cause the victim to die of hemorrhagic shock.
However, the body parts have not yet been fully collected, and it is difficult to conclude whether this is the only fatal wound. ”
