Chapter 22: 2-4 The Third Man
Coco said that the first headless female corpse found in September had blood type A, and the second body found last month was AB, and Miss Human Head had blood type O. This means that there is still a headless body that has not been found.
The people of the second group of serious crimes were busy with a serial bombing case, and they had no time to take care of themselves, so Zhou Daxuan could only immediately mobilize the manpower of the third group and temporarily merge with his own group to investigate the location of the first few corpses, hoping to find the bodies before causing panic.
Things do not turn out the way you want.
Miss Headless's body is different from the first two, abandoned in a corner of the forest park, a group of college students at a barbecue dinner smelled the rancid smell and found her, when the serious crime team arrived first, depressed to see that there were already reporters appeared, it turned out that the students not only called the police, but also called the TV station.
With the yellow cordon and the media and stops outside the scene, Coco crouched in front of the half-decomposed corpse, rubbing the corpse's neck with her hands covered with disinfectant gloves to observe the cross-section. Like the previous two corpses, the female corpse was not an inch on her body, her body was swollen and enlarged due to the putrefaction gases produced by the internal organs, the corpse green extending from the lower abdomen to the surroundings was already obvious, and there were many young maggots moving in the wound on the neck of the corpse.
Xue Yang walked to Coco's side, disgusted by the bad appearance of the corpse, looked into the distance and asked, "Sister Xun, don't tell me this, it's not the body of the head." "That's the fourth.
Coco's hand kept moving, straightening the neck of the corpse and observing it for a while, before he answered, "It should be the body of the head, you see that the cross-section of the head and neck here is tilted from left to right, which is consistent with the cross-section of the head, but you have to go back for a blood test and DNA before making a conclusion." ”
Xue Yang's eyes were still floating towards the sky, and he hummed in agreement.
In the distance, Bai Ling and others were still recording confessions to the group of college students, Da Xuan put away his mobile phone and walked over, "The media are all moved by the news, and they are all excited when they see the corpses." I just finished talking to the director of the bureau and have a media briefing to hold a briefing for the media, so I can't let them write scribble for the time being. Coco, what did you find here? ”
Coco stood up and slowly took off her gloves, "Female, in her 20s, it may be Miss Head's body, judging from the growth state of maggots, the time of death is no more than a week, the corpse is in the middle of decomposition, the neck is cut after death, and the specific cause of death will not be known until further autopsy." ”
Da Xuan frowned, "Maybe it's Miss Tou's?" Coco, I've seen your young lady with a head, and she's so rotten that she's barely that much. ”
"There is a residue of formalin on the head, which may have been soaked."
"Formalin? What is it? Bai Ling leaned over.
"An anti-decaying liquid to preserve corpses, right, Sister Xun?" Xue Yang followed.
Xun Keran was stunned.
"Coco......?"
Something flashed through my mind, formalin, what's wrong with formalin......
If this is Miss Head's body, then after Miss Head was killed, the killer separated her head, abandoned her body in the forest park, left it to rot, and then soaked her head in formalin......
Save the corpse!
A clear line suddenly appeared in Coco's mind, and he raised his eyes to stare at Da Xuan: "Head! He didn't separate his head for the convenience of throwing the corpse, the head was the key! He soaked his head in formalin! ”
"Oh! This guy collects these heads! Da Xuan took over the conversation a little excitedly.
Everyone else was stunned for a moment, Xue Yang reacted, tilted his head and was a little puzzled, "If the murderer is hiding heads, how can that young lady appear in the scrap recycling station?" ”
Da Xuan lowered his head and thought, "Coco, is that human head complete?" ”
"There's a local wound to the chin, and I haven't been able to find out exactly what caused it, but it's definitely a post-mortem wound."
"Then it's not impossible for this guy to collect heads, the heads of the first two corpses may have been saved by him, but the recycling bin is incomplete for some reason, it may have been accidentally damaged after the dismemberment, and it didn't meet the standards of collection in his mind, so it was abandoned in the recycling bin." Da Xuan nodded slightly.
A speculation seems to make everyone have a better understanding of the murderer in their hearts, but they feel a chill, if it is really as speculated, the extent of the case may escalate again, from murder to a series of perverted crimes of killing and hiding corpses.
Bai Ling cursed in a low voice.
Xue Yang shook his head, "What the hell is wrong with this world." ”
When the body truck arrived, the staff wrapped the headless body in a dark blue body bag and loaded it onto the vehicle, and the Forensic Evidence Bureau searched the surrounding plot for any remaining evidence. The fallen leaves of a place wrap the pale yellow earth, and nature has its own unique rules, from small microorganisms to cats, dogs, birds and insects, from the beginning of the corpse to the ground, it may leave traces of the natural biosphere on it in various strange ways, and to a large extent, this also buries the clues that belong to the murderer.
Da Xuan and Coco walked up to the group of college students, and Da Xuan asked, "Have any of you ever touched a corpse or anything at the scene?" It's better to say it now, because it won't be easy to explain when your fingerprints are found. ”
The students shook their heads, and Coco turned to leave, grabbing the corner of her white coat with one hand.
It was a girl sitting on a stone bench, her face was pale, and her lips were still a little trembling, "Policeman, that one...... Really...... The human body? ”
Coco looked up at this group of students, probably freshmen who had just entered the university, with a little stubborn innocence on their faces, they didn't believe that anyone in this world would do such a thing, they didn't believe that there would be such a dark side of the world, they had been under the protection of their parents and school but they didn't know it, such a happy day......
"She used to be human, in her twenties like you," Coco looked down and pulled her warm gloves out of her pocket, then looked at the frightened students in front of her, "Now, it's just a bunch of organic matter......
A girl in the back row suddenly turned around and began to vomit, and some of them also started to cry gently.
Coco exhaled deeply, "It's always a blessing to be alive. ”
――――――――――――――
When I left the scene, it was getting late, and the weather in November was not the coldest, and the French plane trees on the side of the road had already lost half of their leaves, and the bare branches looked particularly cold.
Coco frowned and walked back to the forensic department, and as soon as he stepped onto the corridor, he saw the man standing in the doorway.
Xu Wanli stood at the door and hesitated, how should she ask......
"Hey." Coco's voice came out from behind, and Wanli was startled
“…… Ah, hello you."
"Something?"
"No, uh...... You hurt last time"
"It's okay, thank you." Thinking of the incident that day when he was almost strangled to death in the backyard of the police station, Coco still had some palpitations.
Walking into the office, Xu Wanli sniffed, revealing a curious expression.
"The captain called you Coco, it turns out that it's because of this." Wanli looked at the rows of cocoa milk tea packages on the cabinet and smiled.
"Do you want to drink?"
Although Xu Wanli warned herself with a serious face not to fight Zhou Daxuan's idea when she first appeared in front of her, after she saved herself, Coco couldn't be fierce to her.
"What, you still have to warn me not to get close to your Captain Zhou?" The hot water rushes in, and the warm sweetness spreads.
Xu Wanli smiled, "I didn't mean to, actually...... Actually, Zhou Daxuan is a cousin of mine, and I can't mention it in the team. Last time I was so fierce to you, I'm sorry, I'm just afraid that he will be deceived by a bad woman like before. ”
Coco smiled softly, her heart full of curiosity, "He was deceived before?" Robbery or robbery? ”
"A few years ago, I talked about a very beautiful and powerful woman, and she was about to get married, and the result was ...... This woman tricked him into helping him go to the United States, but he disappeared......"
Coco's action of drinking milk tea stopped, it was just a joke, but it was really something.
Wanli continued, "Of course I am anxious that someone has disappeared for no reason, big brother, oh no, the captain has been looking for a long time, and then after many twists and turns, I found out that this woman was originally using him to go abroad to study, and now I don't know what the situation is." ”
Coco raised his eyebrows, although it looked like five big and three thick, the collar was off the line, and the corners of the leather shoes were muddy, and he didn't notice it, Zhou Daxuan really had such a romantic and sad past.
"Oh, I can't tell you this, people don't know."
Well, Coco nodded and smiled, why bother to say such interesting news, it's good to stab a few times in private, Captain.
Tell you to mention my sister.
Xu Wanli drank milk tea, chatted enough about Ben's gossip, and when she returned to the office, she always felt that something was wrong, what did she want to ask to find Xun Keran?
