Chapter 59: A Hint of Zombies

From the road to the police force, Captain Wu kept muttering, "How the hell did he get there?" Why doesn't anyone see it? Why didn't you find out until now......" and so on. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Because Captain Wu just knew that when they received the report, it was already a few hours after the deceased's death.

Regarding this point, Mo Zitong gave a judgment at the scene according to the condition of the corpse.

Mortis refers to the change that after death, various muscle groups stiffen and all joints are completely fixed.

Generally speaking, 1 to 3 hours after death, some small muscle groups begin to change, 4 to 6 hours will develop to general stiffness, and 12 to 15 hours will reach the peak of corpse stiffness, and all joints will be completely stiff. Remission begins in 24 to 48 hours, and the mortis disappears completely in 3 to 7 days. It's a process, an immutable process. There may be some different degrees of change with the difference in environment and temperature, as well as the deceased itself, but fundamentally, this is the certainty of death, and it will inevitably happen.

Therefore, at that time, Mo Ziqi concluded that the deceased had been dead for at least 8 hours just by virtue of the stiff condition.

Regarding this, Captain Wu has no way to accept it at all.

Imagine how is it possible for a body to hang on an overpass for 8 hours without being found and no one reporting it?

However, Mu Sen summed up the reasonableness and explained to Captain Wu: "Team Wu, there is a forensic doctor who speaks, so there is no doubt about the time of death of this corpse. It's just that it's hard to say when he was hoisted onto the overpass. Judging from the time when the crime was reported, it was more than five or six o'clock in the morning, and the traffic flow had increased significantly by that time, so the number of people who found the body would also increase. If the deceased had been dead for at least eight hours, it meant that he had died before eleven o'clock last night. At ten o'clock or eleven o'clock, the city had not yet rested, and there was not a lot of traffic, and it was impossible for the deceased to hang himself on the overpass during that time. Therefore, it is initially speculated that the deceased should have died last night, but the murderer waited until two or three o'clock this morning before hanging him to the overpass. In this way, everything makes sense. ”

Captain Wu listened carefully to Mu Sen's analysis, thought about it and said, "Eh, what you said makes sense, if this case is killed by him, then the time of his death may not be the time when he was hanging on the overpass!" Hey, but tell me, even if it's two hours, how can it be found in those two hours? ”

Mu Sen lit a cigarette and replied calmly: "The drivers who can still run around on the overpass after three o'clock at night, no matter what the situation, are already quite tired. They focus on the condition of the road, and no one will look up at the overhead. In addition, the speed of the car at night is generally relatively fast, and there will be no pedestrians on the overpass, and the speed of the car is even more reassuring and bold. In this case, even two hours late is understandable. ”

After Mu Sen finished speaking, Mo Ziqi also said on the side: "And this body is hanging between the second and third layers of the bridge, that is to say, the vehicles on the normal road under the bridge can't see him, the passing vehicles on the first layer can't see him, and the vehicles on the third layer of the lane still can't see him, and the only place where the deceased can be seen is the vehicle on the second layer of the bridge." As a result, the range of cars, which were already small that night, was greatly reduced. ”

After hearing what Mu Sen and Mo Zitong said, Captain Wu also seemed to think that this was indeed the case. But he still sighed and said: "Didn't I say that day, the above has already given me an ultimatum, if there is something on the bridge that should not appear, then I will become something that should not appear......"

Mu Sen smiled faintly and persuaded: "Don't be like this, it won't." Let's hurry up and solve the case, and don't let this happen again. Now, hurry up to find the source of the body and confirm whether several of the deceased are related. Leave the rest to Zi Di. As soon as the autopsy results come out, we will be able to know the root cause of death and the exact time of death. ”

"Well, that's all there is to it. Doctor Namo, thank you for your hard work! Captain Wu thanked Mo Zitong.

Mo Zitong smiled lightly and replied: "I'm not a forensic doctor for a long time, so don't be polite." After saying that, Mo Ziqi began to prepare to go to the police force for an autopsy with several forensic doctors.

While waiting for the source of the body to be found and the results of the autopsy, Mu Sen had been smoking in Captain Wu's office. He is not analyzing the current case, but whether the case is related to L. Mu Sen always felt that such a case was not necessarily instigated by L, but it could be the root of the evil that he first discovered......

Thinking of this, Mu Sen hurriedly pinched his cigarette and immediately dialed Captain Wu's phone. As soon as the other party answered, Mu Sen hurriedly asked: "Who reported the case in the morning?" ”

Captain Wu was stunned for a moment when asked, and then replied, "I don't know which kind person is passing by...... They did not leave their own information, but reported that a dead person had been found on the overpass in the city center. ”

"Good Samaritan? What's the phone! Mussen asked eagerly.

Captain Wu was a little embarrassed and said, "Ouch, I don't know this now. The police center they called directly, not me. Wait a minute, I'll ask. ”

After hanging up the phone, Mu Sen only felt that his breathing was a little rapid/short, and his mood was a little unstable. Every time at such a special moment, Mu Sen can guess a rough idea. I don't know if it's a blessing or a misfortune.

Within half a minute, Mu Sen received a text message from Captain Wu, which was the phone number of the informant when he reported the crime.

Mu Sen subconsciously dialed over, and as he expected, it was an empty number. And he can also think that this mobile phone card must not have any identity information. Because this informant ...... Most likely L.

Mussen took a deep breath, then closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair. He knew it wasn't going to be that simple. These cases seem to have nothing to do with L, but in fact, he has been observing in the shadows all along.

In this way, after about two hours, Captain Wu and Mo Ziqi came back one after another.

As soon as Captain Wu opened the file in his hand and was about to say the information about the source of the corpse, he was stopped by Mu Sen as soon as he raised his hand: "Wait, listen to the autopsy first." ”

Captain Wu's words came to his lips and the report was so stubbornly held back, Mo Zidi looked a little tired, he sat on the sofa on the side, and after taking a sip of water, he slowly said: "The deceased can already be determined that he killed him, the time of death was around ten o'clock last night, and the cause of death was strangulation." ”

"Strangulation? Didn't he hang himself? Captain Wu looked at Mo Ziqi suspiciously, probably in his subjective consciousness, he felt that even if he killed, someone would hang the deceased there.

Mo Ziqi shook his head at this time and said: "Hanging the deceased on the overpass in the shape of a neck is just a sign of a crime, or it is also a disguise of homicide. But the fundamental cause of death of the deceased is definitely strangulation. He had been strangled to death a few hours before he was hanged. ”

Captain Wu looked at Mu Sen, and Mu Sen motioned for Mo Ziqi to continue.

Mo Ziyan leaned lazily on the sofa and said slowly: "The zombie at the ankles of the corpse is obviously slightly softer/softer than in other places, this is because someone once destroyed the zombie, and then the zombie formed again. This is called re-rigidity. But the stiffness will be weaker than before. Then why did the murderer destroy the corpse of the deceased's feet? Quite simply, because the hanged person has his feet off the ground when he hangs his neck, and his toes are facing down after death. If the deceased had been strangled, this would certainly not have happened. In order to falsify the characteristics of self-hanging, the murderer destroyed the corpse of the deceased's feet, making it look like he was hanging himself at first glance. ”

Captain Wu looked at Mo Zidi blankly, and asked after a pause: "Then, then the cause of death of the deceased can be determined now, right?" ”

Mo Zidi nodded slightly and said, "Yes, although the damage to the neck is great, and the sign of strangulation is not too far from the death by hanging, I still found a slight damage caused by the nails from the skin of the deceased's neck." In addition, the 2~3rd vertebrae of the deceased were separated and the spinal cord was transcribed, which shows that the murderer must be a man, and the force of throwing the deceased out of the bridge is not small. ”

When he heard Mo Zitong say this, Captain Wu couldn't help but show an incomprehensible expression. It sounded like the dead man's neck was broken.

Mo Ziyan explained knowingly: "It is basically impossible for a deceased person with an ordinary hanged neck to have this situation. This condition is more common in some countries when the body is hanged or the body suddenly falls/falls, and the neck is suddenly and violently pulled by the rope, resulting in the dislocation of the cricooccipital joint and the contusion of the cervical spinal cord. Therefore, the deceased was tied up and then thrown out of the bridge. In this way, there will be the effect of hanging. ”

Captain Wu nodded suddenly in realization, and involuntarily turned his neck a few times. It seems that just listening to Mo Zitong's narration, the cervical spine is already very uncomfortable.

Mu Sen, who had been silent, suddenly said at this time: "Hanging...... Ring the head of the death penalty, the murderer ...... Is it punishing? What is he punishing? ”

From Mo Zitong's autopsy, Mu Sen caught this inspiration. It stands to reason that the deceased has been strangled to death, so there is no need to throw the body in such a high-profile manner. So at first, Moussen deduced that the act of hanging the deceased on the overpass must have had a special significance.

Now, I heard Mo Zidi say that the corpse was separated from the cervical vertebrae, which was similar to hanging. Mu Sen suddenly thought of this, is the real purpose of the murderer to be hanged in the busy traffic of the city? ?

If so, the identity of the deceased is important. Now, as long as the identities of several deceased people are matched, Mu Sen can basically determine the root cause and motive of the murderer's killing.

Thinking of this, Mu Sen finally turned his head and said to Captain Wu: "Team Wu, let's talk about the source of the corpse!" ”
