Chapter 3 Two Stone Slabs Under the Stone Maggots wriggle on leather shoes
Because of the hot weather, Wang Youli decided to catch an early cool, before five o'clock, he and the workers came to the construction site (Wang Youli is the foreman), when cleaning to the top of the well, Wang Youli arranged for Liu Xiaotang and another worker to dig the foundation, and the others continued to clean up the broken bricks and tiles on the ruins.
The depth of the foundation of the wall is at least 60 centimeters, when Liu Xiaotang used a shovel to dig the soil, a spade stepped down, "cluck", the shovel head encountered resistance, and the two of them used the shovel to pull away the soil, so they saw the big stone we mentioned earlier. Then the bluestone slab underneath was discovered; After cleaning the soil on the bluestone slabs, two bluestone slabs with a length of 110 centimeters, a width of 60 centimeters and a width of 65 centimeters and a thickness of about 8 centimeters are presented in front of everyone's eyes.
The worker used a pickaxe to pry up a bluestone slab, and found that there was a black rumbling below, which surprised the two people not only the deep well under the bluestone slab, but the foul smell wafting out of the deep well, and the large and small flying insects that flew out of the well and could not be named.
So, several people gathered around.
Everyone lifted another bluestone slab and moved it away, and then they saw the wellhead and the wall of the well, the wall of the well is made of blue bricks, and the body of the well is small and large - the diameter of the wellhead is about 70 centimeters.
There is no water in sight, this is a dry well, there is some soil at the bottom of the well, and some green bricks and stones, and its depth is about 3.5 meters.
Liu Xiaotang's shouting made everyone feel terrified: "Look at that—that seems to be a foot." ”
So, everyone covered their noses and lay on the wellhead to look down.
The "one foot" that Liu Xiaotang saw was actually a shoe, and the outside of the shoe was upward, so he could only see the side of the shoe, and could not see anything else. Because the light under the well is relatively dim, it is impossible to confirm whether Liu Xiaotang saw "one foot".
The noise of several people alarmed the nearby residents, and after a while, dozens of people gathered at the scene.
Wang Youli stretched out his shovel to the bottom of the well, and he wanted to dial the "foot" that Liu Xiaotang said, but unfortunately, the length of the shovel handle and Wang Youli's arm was less than two meters.
After a while, a resident brought a bamboo pole more than five meters long and a flashlight from home.
Wang Youli took the bamboo pole and stretched it into the well; Liu Xiaotang took the flashlight.
Under the light pillar of the flashlight, everyone saw a broken straw mat with some dirt on it, and Liu Xiaotang's so-called "feet" were exposed from under the mat - what appeared to be below the knee.
Wang Youli opened the mat with a bamboo pole, and a corpse loomed in front of everyone's eyes, and the reason why he said "looming" was because the corpse's body was covered with some soil and debris -- to be precise, it should be some construction waste, and some human body shapes were exposed under the garbage. The people were lying on their sides, and most of the bodies had been buried by earth and construction debris.
The pillars of light from the bamboo pole and the flashlight were aimed at the "foot" at the same time.
Wang Youli flicked his shoes with the head of the bamboo pole, and the shoes were opened, but the feet of the deceased were still not visible. There were a few branches that looked like they had been soaked in mud and detached from their shoes.
A worker retrieved a wire from the rubble and wrapped it around the head of a bamboo pole.
Wang Youli hooked the shoes with a hook made of wire.
Everyone was horrified when they saw the mud-stained shoes, and everyone took several steps back.
Because there are a lot of maggots wriggling inside and outside the shoes, and at the same time they emit a very bad smell. There are maggots on the shoes, and you should understand what is going on, which means that the corpse is in the process of decomposing - or almost decomposing. When the bluestone slab was lifted, the stench that everyone smelled should be the smell of the corpse.
There was also a branch-like thing in the socket of the shoe, and there were a lot of maggots crawling on it. Liu Dayu used a branch to push the maggots away, and everyone gasped: the so-called branch turned out to be a bone. Originally, the "branches" that separated from the shoes were supposed to be the bones of the human feet.
The shoes were a pair of black leather shoes - the kind of laces that were tied and the laces had broken into several pieces - as soon as something touched them, the laces fell apart, the upper was crumpled, the sole was not on a flat surface, and the whole shoe shrunk and deformed very much.
Liu Dayu led Ouyang Ping to the wellhead, and on a bluestone slab next to the wellhead, there was a black leather shoe.
There were a lot of maggots wriggling on the shoes, and some of them had already climbed onto the bluestone slabs.
Ouyang Ping took the gloves and mask from Han Lingling's hand.
"Ouyang, this is a men's flat leather shoe, size forty-one." Liu Dayu said.
Zuo Xiangdong has a camera around his neck, and the autopsy work cannot be carried out until the body is dug up, because the environment in the underground is very bad, so it has become a big problem to dig up the body.
The maggots on the shoes have already shown that the body of the deceased has reached ** height, and it is not easy to move a body of ** height to the well.
After discussing with Liu Dayu and Chen Jie, Ouyang Ping decided to dig the wellhead, and after digging to a certain depth, he tried to get the body out of the well. The purpose of this is twofold; First, after the wellhead is dug up, the odor in the well will quickly disperse, which is more convenient for autopsy; Second, after the wellhead is excavated, the light at the bottom of the well will be much better, which is more conducive to the investigation of the bottom of the well, the corpse has been highly advanced, in order to find valuable clues, Ouyang Ping hopes that the remains at the bottom of the well, with the current environment at the bottom of the well, it is not suitable for detailed investigation and autopsy.
Ouyang Ping's idea was supported by Wang Youli, and he and his men were very happy to accept this glorious mission, and they were very happy to be able to do something for the criminal investigation team.
Wang Youli is a cheerful person, and after Ouyang Ping put forward some basic requirements to him, he took Liu Xiaotang and other six workers to do it.
In the process of excavating, the most important thing is not to let the soil around the well wall fall into the well, fortunately, the well wall is made of green bricks, so Wang Youli and the workers first dig up the soil around the well wall, and then use brick knives to pry off the green bricks layer by layer. This ensures that the soil does not fall into the well.
Wang Youli decided to clean up all the construction waste around the well first, and Director Wang borrowed a bulldozer and a truck from the municipal government.
An hour later, after all the construction debris on the ruins was cleaned up, Wang Youli drew a circle around the well with a shovel: "Comrade Captain, what do you think?" ”
