Chapter 10: Surveying the Site
This is Mo Yufei's first homicide scene, and it is the scene of the corpse dismemberment.
Before coming, Mo Yufei had already made full mental preparations, but the inner tension and fear of the unknown still made her heart beat the drum constantly.
She followed closely behind Lu Ke, and as soon as she stepped into the woods, she heard the sound of Ling Zizhen talking to the police officers of the technical team.
"How many packets of corpses were found?!"
"There are four packs in total!"
"Protect the scene and let the forensic doctor in!"
Lu Ke walked forward without looking back, and shouted without looking back: "Investigate the informant, find witnesses and monitor." ”
Su Simeng, who was on the side, replied: "Understood! ”
Walking into the woods, as the distance kept getting closer, a foul smell came, and even Lu Ke felt that the rancid smell this time was much heavier than yesterday morning.
If the body parts were all from the same person, then yesterday's forensic autopsy said that the time of death would not have been more than twenty-four hours, and due to the weather and the length of the time of death, the degree of decomposition found this time would only be worse.
Mo Yufei had just gotten up and hadn't eaten breakfast yet. However, she felt that skipping breakfast was a very wise choice, and now she only felt that her throat was sour and her stomach was churning. Not only that, but this strong pungent smell choked her eyes a little and she couldn't control her tears.
She subconsciously held her breath, hurriedly took out a mask from her pocket and put it on, and then she put on another layer.
If she were to describe the smell, it would be the mixed smell of rotten eggs and dead rats plus dirty sewers.
In the woods, forensic doctor Jiang Xiran and forensic assistant Zhou Xiaoyi were examining the body parts in the black plastic bag one by one, and the technical team police officer next to them quickly adjusted the focus with a criminal investigation camera, accompanied by the sound of the shutter, and the flash kept on.
In criminal cases, the technical team is divided into criminal photographers, physical evidence collectors, trace examiners, and in a sense, forensic doctors are also technical personnel.
Medical examiner Jiang Xiran and forensic assistant Zhou Xiaoyi knelt on one knee in front of a black plastic bag, conducting a preliminary autopsy of the body inside.
Jiang Xiran put on disposable latex gloves, and gently lifted the corner of the black plastic bag with her right hand, and the smelly and somewhat blackened blood immediately flowed out of a hole in the black plastic bag and stained her gloves.
Zhou Xiaoyi, who was on the side, frowned, and beckoned to the criminal photographer next to him: "Take a detailed close-up of the corpse." ”
Jiang Xiran calmed down, pulled down the mask with his left hand, raised his right hand stained with black blood and put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it.
A professional and dedicated forensic doctor often chooses not to wear a mask in order to ensure that his sense of smell is not affected during the investigation of the crime scene and the autopsy. Because this can determine whether the deceased died of poisoning, the corpse of the dead due to different causes will have different smells, even if there are more advanced instruments now, but it is still particularly important for forensic doctors to use their sense of smell to obtain somatosensory intuition in the first time. Especially when it comes to decomposing corpses, the smell of corpses can provide more clues.
It's just that in the long run, this corpse smell will penetrate every pore of the skin, even if you wear two layers of protective clothing and two layers of gloves. Even if the forensic doctor is psychologically strong enough to have no rejection in the face of a highly decomposed corpse, in many cases, the physiological reaction of dizziness and vomiting cannot be overcome.
Seeing Jiang Xiran's move, Zhou Xiaoyi subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, quickly stretched his brows, and asked softly: "Section Chief Jiang, what do you smell?" ”
Jiang Xiran didn't answer this question, she completely opened the black plastic bag with both hands, carefully examined the corpse parts inside, and said lightly: "You go and see which part of the human body the other three packs of corpse pieces are." ”
"Okay." Zhou Xiaoyi nodded, subconsciously pinched the nose tendon of the mask, got up and walked towards the other black plastic bag packages.
After a while, Lu Ke walked up to Jiang Xiran and asked seriously, "Did you find anything?" ”
Jiang Xiran's eyes still fell on the corpse pieces in front of him, and he said in a deep voice: "This bag is the arm tissue of the human body, and the corpse pieces are the same as yesterday, they are all neat squares, the size of mahjong tiles." ”
After speaking, Jiang Xiran gently lifted a bloody forearm.
To be exact, it was an ulna with the radius attached to the end, and the musculature on the bone was almost completely detached.
Mo Yufei stood beside Lu Ke, and glanced at Jiang Xiran's hand uncontrollably.
The eerie white bones, coupled with some whitish corpse parts, instantly came into view. Under this strong visual impact, she only felt a mouthful of mucus lock her throat, and her eyes and nose were a little sour.
Mo Yufei subconsciously took a deep breath and tried to suppress her feeling of wanting to vomit.
Just this time, the strong smell of corpses instantly poured into the nasal cavity.
She couldn't control it anymore and hurried out of the woods.
Lu Ke looked at Mo Yufei's back and smiled faintly: "Newcomer, you still lack practice." ”
This is a necessary process for the growth of a rookie criminal policeman, in Lu Ke's words, it is to "train courage", and he practiced it with his master Mo Yangyu at the beginning.
It seems that if there is such a situation in the future, Mo Yufei must be named to participate.
Jiang Xiran carefully inspected the black plastic bag in front of him, and inside was a complete arm, and judging from half of his palm, it was a left arm.
After a while, forensic assistant Zhou Xiaoyi returned to Jiang Xiran's side and said seriously: "Section Chief Jiang, the other three packages are all internal organs. ”
"Let the technician take pictures and fix them, then divide them and extract them and bring them back to the autopsy room for autopsy." Jiang Xiran said, opening the silver-white hand-held toolbox with the label "Criminal Scene Investigation" next to him.
She took out the evidence bag, record sheet, label and other tools from inside, and carefully recorded the bag of corpses, meticulously every step of the way.
After everything was done, Jiang Xiran glanced at Lu Ke slightly sideways, and said to him seriously: "If the other three bags are all internal organs, we only get a left arm and a right calf now, these are far from enough, the murderer will definitely continue to throw the corpse." ”
Lu Ke nodded, and immediately shouted, "Are there any other corpses nearby?" ”
As soon as Lu Ke's words fell, Ling Zizhen immediately replied: "Team Lu, no!" ”
After speaking, Ling Zizhen walked back to Lu Ke's side quickly, and said lightly: "Compared with last time, this time I threw too much." ”
He paused, glanced at Jiang Xiran's packed corpse pieces, and sighed slowly: "It's really broken enough." ”
"Are there any traces of the scene?" Lu Ke thought about it and asked Ling Zizhen seriously.
Ling Zizhen pulled down his mask and pointed to the woods not far away: "No valuable biological information was found at the scene, but a vague tire mark was found on the side of the road." It's a fitness park, and it's rare to drive around, but it's still not certain that the car was the one used by the killer to dump the body. ”
Lu Ke looked in the direction of his finger, twisted his fingertips, and said lightly: "Close." ”
Ling Zizhen nodded, pulled down his mask, looked at Mo Yufei's back not far away, and smiled bitterly: "This newcomer is really unlucky, the first case is the corpse crushing case, it is estimated that she will not be able to eat for several days." ”
Lu Ke patted Ling Zizhen on the shoulder, his eyes were unusually firm: "Aren't we all here like this?" ”
