Chapter 392: Forensic Entomology
"Contact the police officer who handled the disappearance case, and then check the cause of Xiaohu's death back then. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info there was no autopsy at that time? How could there be no clue to that child's death. Mu Sen frowned, a little puzzled. Mo Zitong is right, the child's death is a bit strange no matter how you hear it. What was he doing alone in such a remote and dangerous place? And how did the manhole cover move? These are really problems.
Mo Zitong replied at this time: "The autopsy may not have played a big role at that time. You also heard what the old man said just now, the place of Xiaohu's death was in the sewer of the heating station. In itself, in an environment like a sewer, corpses are bound to decay at an accelerated rate. In addition, in the heating room, the large amount of hot water and steam can cause the corpse to decompose quickly at a rate of double. Five days, in the environment of a hot sauna, the corpse should be like more than twenty days of decay in the hot summer. Think about it, can you find more clues? ”
Before Mu Sen could say anything, Song Mingze asked very curiously on the side, "Is this...... Does it really happen that corpses decay at such an accelerated rate in the sewers? Hey, in fact, think about it, the food we put in the refrigerator and the food we throw in the drain are naturally in a completely different state. ”
Mo Zitong glanced at Song Mingze, and always felt that the curiosity he was showing now was a bit hypocritical. Because Mo Zitong didn't believe that Song Mingze didn't understand this knowledge at all. So at this moment, as if on purpose, he said to Song Mingze: "Yes, let me tell Doctor Song about it." Let's not talk about the speed of decay of the corpse in that hot and humid environment, let's just say that the destruction of the corpse by the animals, five days is enough time to destroy most of the evidence. The first is fly maggots, which are the first insects to destroy corpses. They are very sensitive/sensitive to the smell of corpses, ten minutes after a person dies in the summer, or even before the person is dead. During the dying period, they gather on the surface of the body and begin to lay eggs. The eggs, which can be transformed into maggots, secrete a liquid containing proteolytic enzymes, which quickly digest and destroy the soft tissues of the corpse, thus forming gray-white filthy/filthy honeycomb-shaped holes. Afterwards. Maggots then invade the subcutaneous, muscle, and internal organs. In the summer, the corpses of babies are eaten up by maggots within seven days and the corpses of adults in about three weeks. In this way, even if there were resistance injuries or man-made traces on the body surface of the deceased, they were eaten by the maggots. However, the time of death of the deceased is inferred from the growth and development of the fly maggot. It is also a major staple in forensic entomology. “
Although Mu Sen was a common corpse, after listening to Mo Zidi's detailed explanation, he still swallowed dryly, feeling a little uncomfortable. Song Mingze also sometimes opened his eyes wide, and sometimes showed some fear, in short, he listened very seriously.
However, this short "forensic" chatter brought out a small windfall. And that's in the process. Both Mu Sen and Mo Ziqi caught Song Mingze's fake expression--- frightened and curious. This is definitely a rare flaw in Song Mingze, who has always been in a flawless performance.
He thought that Mo Ziqi was carefully telling about the changes in the corpse. In addition, he is carefully camouflaging, so he will be negligent. But the slight expression in his eyes looked at Mu Sen and Mo Ziyan's eyes, but there was really a word written --- fake.
When Mo Zitong said about the damage caused to the corpse by maggots, ordinary people may feel a little uncomfortable. You may even feel disgusting. But Song Mingze's true emotions were indifferent. He wasn't surprised by the disgusting change, nor did it seem to be unusual. This proves. This psychology expert, like Mu Sen and Mo Zitong, not only has a strong psychological endurance, but also has a very rich knowledge of death. At least, he'd seen that type of dead person.
The two of them understood each other, and no one showed anything about Song Mingze's performance. They all still pretend to be nothing. The evidence on the corpse was discussed, and the chances of the child's accidental death.
With the help of Mussen, they found the local police. brought up Xiaohu's original death file. Because after all, the case was reported, and the time was not very long, so it didn't take much time to find out this file.
Based on that sketchy report, Mussen found the address of the basement where Xiaohu and his grandmother had lived earlier. The report did not go into too much detail, saying only that the body had been severely decomposed, and that it was preliminarily concluded to be an accidental death.
Of course, this is preliminary, and I will talk about it. Because there is no follow-up to this case, no one is investigating it anymore.
Mu Sen and the others didn't waste time, and quickly found the basement, ready to ask the old man about the situation at that time, and whether she knew Song Mingze's patients. But when they came to the basement, there was no one in the hut.
The door was unlocked, and there was a damp and moldy smell inside. Mu Sen walked in and took a look, his height of 1.8 meters could be next to the roof without standing on tiptoe. The space was so small that it was breathless, and the dampness made the bedding on the plank bed a layer of green mold.
"Oh my God......" Song Mingze waved his hand, trying to dispel the suffocating smell of humidity in the air.
Needless to say, Mo Zitong had such a cleanliness habit, he didn't enter the house at all, and only waited for Mu Sen outside.
Mu Sen saw that the only thing that was still precious in this so-called "home" was probably the photo. Dirty glass photo frames were placed on the ground, there were young couples, old gentlemen with black and white photos, fat boys with 100-year-old photos, and how lively he looked when he grew up, and a family photo......
These are the memories that the old man lives by. She relied on these memories of the past to keep herself alive.
Standing in such an environment, Mu Sen felt very uncomfortable. It's not because of the damp and uncomfortable feeling on your body, it's not because of the musty smell in the air, it's not because of this small and oppressive space......
But...... It's a kind of sadness.
In life, things are often unsatisfactory, and they can be said to be the same. Everyone may have their own sadness in life. However, compared to the poor old man in front of him, most people should still feel happy.
Money, profit, fame, power...... All of this must be built on one foundation, that is, people. If all the members of the family were still alive, the family would not be a tragedy today. To live is probably the purpose of life, the root and purpose of everything. (To be continued.) )
