Chapter 3: The Mystery Pendant

In order to satisfy her mouth, Jiang Chonglang often went to major food courts to buy food for him. As a result, Zhang Lanshan looked much rounder than before, and complained several times when she looked in the mirror: "I have become fat into a ball, and my melon seed face has become a round face, if I continue like this, I will definitely not be able to get married." ”

Jiang Chonglang smiled: "Even if you are a fat person, you are also a good-looking fat person." Besides, the ring is fat and thin, each with its own style. are showing different beauty, who said that thin is beautiful, I like round and blessed girls. In fact, Jiang Chonglang secretly said in his heart: "It's best if you can't get married, let me marry you." ”

Zhang Lanshan was embarrassed by what she said, and Jiang Chonglang mentioned Ye Lili to her. Zhang Lanshan said with a smile: "Lili is a distant relative of our family. I'm also her mentor. She is very powerful, although her main job is the autopsy, but she also likes to participate in solving crimes. But the level of investigation is average. If you've been in contact with her for a long time, you'll feel like where this neurosis came from. Lili can seem very naΓ―ve sometimes, but you and Xiaochao can teach her. By the way, she and Xiaochao should both come from the same place, maybe they are still fellow villagers, and the two of them should have a common topic. ”

After hearing this, Jiang Chonglang smiled: "Yes, I hope so." Let me stay here until the evening and then leave. Actually, Jiang Chonglang didn't have what he wanted to say the most, because he was waiting for Zhang Lanshan to be discharged from the hospital, and he surprised her.

Jiang Chonglang is not a guy who "has the opposite sex and has no humanity". He found out since the bones were found in Yangcheng D. Han Yuchao didn't follow him as usual, chattering around him and asking this and that, but instead kept looking around the computer behind his back, checking south and north, and sometimes he didn't know who he was calling. When Jiang Chonglang asked him what he was doing, Han Yuchao either remained silent or asked him not to ask again.

A few days later, the analysis of the bones was finally completed, and almost all the information about the bones was available. An old expert in his 60s stood in front and opened the slide, which was the full picture of the bones.

The old expert took a sip of water and said slowly: "We all know that there are 206 bones in adults, which are divided into four parts: skull, trunk, upper limb and lower limb bones. The absence of any piece may have a great impact on the subsequent investigation of the case. Luckily, we've found almost all of them. Therefore, we must be very serious about the excavation of this kind of bone case, and we must not let go of any detail. ”

This is the style of this old expert's report, he can't get into the main topic for half a day, which makes the people in the audience drowsy. It was at this time that the old expert finally got to the point.

"We know through measurements that the deceased was about 1.68 meters tall, and judging by the pelvis, this should be a woman. Through the consumption of the deceased's teeth, as well as the laboratory analysis and inference of the pubic symphysis, the deceased was very young and should be around 22 years old, no more than 2 years old. ”

After listening to the above report, Jiang Chonglang's heart sank: "22 years old, this age is just the time to graduate from college. If the deceased had been killed at this time, others would have thought that he had graduated and left school normally. Therefore, no one will notice anything wrong if they disappear. If the deceased is not a local, then in the vast sea of people, it may not be easy to determine the source of the corpse. ”

Just when Jiang Chonglang lowered his head and thought, Ye Lili stepped onto the stage, it seemed that she must have made her own new discoveries.

Ye Lili opened the slideshow, and the photo showed the hair of the deceased. Looking at the photo, Ye Lili took out a report, and an old expert in the audience asked, "Doctor Ye, what report do you have in your hand?" ”

"The hair report of the deceased, which I asked my master to help test." Ye Lili replied.

"Hair is second only to bone in terms of corrosion resistance, and the process of corrosion is that it first loses its luster, gradually weakens its strength and elasticity, and finally becomes brittle and breaks. So the time of death of the deceased can be judged based on the tensile strength of the hair. It turns out that the tensile strength of the bone hair is between 20 and 25 grams, which can also indicate that the deceased has been dead for at least 7 or 8 years. ”

Everyone thought that Ye Lili could make any new discoveries, but they didn't expect that it had already been proven, and their faces showed disappointed expressions.

Ye Lili seemed to have discovered this, smiled slightly, and continued unhurriedly: "My master is a very great old forensic doctor, through his detection and analysis of the hair elements of the corpse bones, he can determine the place where the deceased used to take before his death, and if the test results are very good, he can even infer the whereabouts of the deceased twenty years before his death. ”

As he spoke, Ye Lili opened the report while playing the slideshow, and began to say: "This is a summary of the elemental content in the deceased's hair, and through analysis, it can be concluded that the deceased's black hair is actually the color of hair dye, which is a high-grade plant hair dye. According to the report on the trace element components in the hair of the deceased, it can be concluded that the deceased spent most of her life in Yangcheng City, but in the five months before her death, she had been to Yufeng City, and she had been there for more than a month, almost two months. This is because the water quality of Yufeng City contains more metal ions than in Yangcheng City, so it can be detected. Of course, I can't do such an accurate analysis, only the respected and experienced old-timers like my master can analyze it. ”

"5 months before death, according to what the deceased was wearing. The deceased should have been killed in June or July, and 5 months ago, it was supposed to be the time of the winter vacation, so it is very likely that the deceased was from Yufeng City. Jiang Chonglang followed Ye Lili's words and analyzed.

Immediately afterwards, Ye Lili put a new slide, showing the jade Buddha pendant that was sent out at the scene of the crime.

Ye Lili continued: "However, in this pile of hairs that we dug up, not all belong to the same person. For example, on this jade Buddha pendant, we found a small amount of oil, and after DNA testing, we found two DNA components that did not belong to the deceased. And this jade Buddha pendant was found inside the mouth of the deceased's skull, because on it we found fragments of the deceased's tooth composition. So this piece of jade should have been placed in the mouth of the deceased. ”

At this time, Shen Bin suddenly said: "I know this reason, my hometown is from Yinxin County. This is the custom in our family: jade can ward off evil spirits, so in our place, if someone dies in an accident, put a piece of jade in his mouth to suppress his soul, otherwise his soul will not go on the road to reincarnate. So I guess this may be because after the murderer killed someone, he was also scared in his heart, worried that the deceased would come back to him to ask for his life, so he put a piece of jade in the deceased's mouth. ”
