Chapter 24: Corpse Wax

However, when it comes to this form of corpse wax, even Mu Sen has seen it only a handful of times. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoBecause the conditions for the formation of cadaveric wax are relatively special, it is relatively rare. If there is, most of them are local. Compare the limbs and buttocks of the human body, and the breasts/chambers of women, etc. It's extremely rare to see someone whose whole body has turned into corpse wax. What's more, it's still the kind of ...... that falls off and floats on the water It's even more bizarre.

Corpse wax, as the name suggests, is when a corpse is turned into a wax-like object. Most of them have a relatively hard texture, which has a heavy greasy feeling to the touch, and will sink when lightly pressed. It's like a candle that has just burned in everyday life. The color is yellowish-white or off-white, and it can float on the surface of the water as it does now.

In general, corpse wax can only be formed if the body is buried in wet soil under certain conditions, or soaked in water. Among them, children and obese people are more likely to form cadaveric wax. The higher the ambient temperature, the faster the corpse wax will form.

When Mo Zitong fished out the gray-white objects piece by piece, the little police officer on the side couldn't hold back any longer. He covered his mouth and retched, and said to Mo Zidi: "This, although I learned this when I was in school, but I saw it with my own eyes today, and it is really not easy to accept...... How did we humans end up like this......?! ”

It can be seen that this child is indeed disgusted and stupid. What about humans? It doesn't matter if you are handsome and chic or look like a fairy, aren't you all virtuous after you die? I've never heard of a dead man who can be a flower and a moon. No matter how beautiful the skin is, in less than a week, it will become hideous and terrifying, disgusting and rotten.

Mo Zitong salvaged piece by piece, and a lot of police officers and forensic doctors came in one after another to help. Mu Sen watched below, and secretly estimated it in his heart. In this water tank, to say the least, the corpses of five women have been soaked.

Captain Wu and the police officers were all looking down at the piles of things that had been salvaged, some white, some yellow, some like wax grease, and some soft and sticky like soap...... That slippery and greasy feeling makes people want to vomit when they look at it.

Captain Wu held back for a long time, and finally raised his head and asked Mo Zidi: "I said Mo Da Forensic Medicine, are the people here fat and thin and their skin color very different?" Otherwise, how could there be such a big gap between the things fished out? ”

Now that there are enough people and the forensic doctor is here, Mo Ziqi handed over the work in his hand to other forensic doctors, and then jumped off the ladder while answering Captain Wu and said, "How many people are here, we have to wait for the forensic doctor's identification results to come out." These things are all because the body has been soaked in water for too long, and the subcutaneous tissue breaks down glycerol and fatty acids. Glycerol dissolves in water and disappears, and unsaturated fatty acids partially dissolved in water combine with calcium and magnesium ions in water to form saponifications. The remaining unsaturated fatty acids are hydrogenated to form saturated fatty acids, which are deposited to form cadaveric wax. So, if you look at something that feels different, it's actually two things at all. ”

"......" Captain Wu looked at Mo Zitong with blank eyes, unable to speak for a long time. Mu Sen on the side looked at Captain Wu with sympathetic eyes, and couldn't help but remember that when he was solving the case with Mo Zitong, he often encountered this situation. Because Mo Zitong is too professional in forensic science and thanalogy...... Once he speaks about that expertise, it's hard for the average person to understand. Especially a criminal police officer like Captain Wu, he and forensic medicine are two "professions" at all. It's normal for Mo Zitong to say that he doesn't understand much.

At this time, Mo Ziqi walked in front of Mu Sen, then pointed to the door and said, "I have to continue to look for it, the things here have been too long, and they are not what we are looking for." ”

"What's been too long?" Captain Wu asked inexplicably.

In order to prevent Mo Zitong from saying something that made Captain Wu breathless for a long time, Mu Sen simply opened his mouth and replied for Mo Zitong: "Team Wu, what Zi Di said is that the corpse in it has been too long. It takes three to four months for adults to form partial cadaveric wax, and one to one and a half years for most of the body to form cadaveric wax. The more time passes, the fewer clues there are. We still have to find the recently killed dead in order to find more clues from it. ”

Captain Wu replied, and then asked, "This factory is so big that searching the factories one by one may reduce efficiency." Did we start with the factory with a water tank? ”

"Team Wu is wise, and the water tank and boiler have to be extra careful. Also, don't look at the locked door and think that there must be nothing strange inside, this factory is an example. Mu Sen specially admonished two sentences.

Captain Wu assigned the job, looked at the water tank again, and couldn't help but say with a sad face: "If this is replaced by those corpses found in the wild, I'm afraid it will be even more disgusting than here." It's just that most of the corpses in the wild can quickly find the source of the corpse and verify the identity of the deceased. But this pile of ...... It's hard to find out who you are. ”

After hearing this, Mo Ziyan said disapprerovingly: "If you use the same temperature conditions, the degree of decay of a corpse exposed to the air for one week is equivalent to two weeks in water and eight weeks in the soil. It took so long to discover this crime scene, and if it was a corpse exposed to the air, I am afraid that it would have been ossified long ago. Now we can still find some organizations, and the difficulty has been greatly reduced. ”

Captain Wu nodded, and while Mu Sen and Mo Ziqi walked out, he asked very puzzledly, "Then you say, where did the skeleton of the corpse go?" Why is there only those things in the water? Bones, it can't melt away in a year and a half, right? ”

Mo Ziqi looked at Mu Sen, and then said with a slightly serious expression: "Corpse waxing, mummification, and tanned corpses are all preserved corpses. It stands to reason...... When the muscle groups stop decaying, they should be more well preserved than normal decaying corpses, and they should not fall off into pieces like this. This situation here is more like a ...... that has been knocked down by an external force."

Mu Sen chuckled, then pointed to the boiler in the factory and said, "Have you forgotten what this factory is for?" It's full of large equipment for destroying corpses! The murderer soaked the corpse in order to get the hand and foot cover, and when he got it, he would find a way to destroy the body. These corpse waxes should have been accidentally touched by him when he was salvaging the corpses and preparing to destroy them. There are so many boilers here, it is not difficult for him to destroy the corpse at all. Only this time, he left in too much hurry...... As a result, he was unable to clean up the scene and take his loot with him. ”

As he spoke, Mu Sen's eyes looked at the rows of bottles on the shelves. The countless drowning siblings inside are the "trophies" of this murderer.

Most serial perverts/psychopathic murderers will have their own special quirks. Or rather, they have their own special 'preferences'.

For example, this 'washerwoman murderer' has a quirk of drowning or soaking corpses after death until the muzzles fall off and the corpses are unrecognizable, and he morbidly preserves them in bottles and jars.

Another example is 'L', his special preference is to like the pleasure of 'a thousand cuts'. He used his super psychological quality and professional dissection ability to cut the corpse piece by piece, until only the white bones remained. This is a task that requires a great deal of perseverance and patience. And for him, it is not 'hard', but an ultimate enjoyment.

Of course, it is possible that the victim is still alive when these perverted/psychopathic murderers are doing these things...... The torture and pain suffered can be imagined.

Since they have not seen a single intact corpse so far, it is difficult to tell whether these actions were formed before or after death.

Mu Sen, who had already walked outside the door, turned around and walked back at this time, and then squatted beside the pile of ashes, and said to himself: "I don't understand, why did he leave in such a hurry?" In such a hurry that he didn't even want the fruits of his victory...... What is all this he burns......"

Mo Ziqi also walked over, stood aside and said suspiciously: "Yes, the overall feeling is as if he knows that we are coming......"

Captain Wu, who was standing behind the two of them, looked at them with a suspicious gaze at this moment. Speaking from the bottom of his heart, Captain Wu is also becoming more and more confused about these two crazy people. All indications seem to indicate that the two of them appear to be connected to the case.

In an abandoned factory that has not been set foot in for fifteen years, they can even know that there has been a murder here! Not only that, but they also have hand and foot covers that only murderers have. And the murderer slipped away shortly before they arrived...... Any normal person would wonder what was going on with Mu Sen and Mo Zidi.

However, these two people didn't have the heart to pay attention to the speculation in Captain Wu's heart. They were all fascinated by the pile of ashes, and after a while, the two of them looked up at the same time and said, "Could it be him?" ”

After speaking, Mo Ziqi followed up and said: "If this is the case, then the fairness of this game will be reduced by ......"

"Game?!" Captain Wu was more and more confused the more he listened to it, and he couldn't help it at this moment, and finally interrupted them.

But at this time, the police officer who went out to search the factory ran back, and he was panting and reported: "Wu, Wu team!" Hair、Found the body! This time, it's still a shame...... No one dared to move, and they will be salvaged when you speak. ”

...... Captain Wu glared at the police officer angrily when he heard this. Then he hurried out and asked, "Where did you find it?" Or in the water? ”

"Yes, the tank." The officer replied truthfully.
