Chapter 147: Outrageous Case
After coming out of the hospital, Li Xiyang was going to find a place to cushion his stomach first.
From last night to now, I have been hungry.
But before he could get far, a police car suddenly stopped in front.
Immediately after a young detective in uniform stepped out of the car.
"Hello, is it Dr. Li Xiyang?"
"It's me, you're right?" Li Xiyang looked puzzled.
The man smiled, "My name is Chen Xiao, and I belong to the Yuncheng Criminal Police Brigade." ”
"Doctor Li, haven't you heard from our captain?"
"Captain?"
"You mean Chen Ping'an?"
"Yes, yes, yes."
"Did he message me?"
Li Xiyang took out his mobile phone from his pocket, and only then did he notice a few unread messages.
"Doctor Li, please excuse me, this Luo Xiaobo went to the imperial capital for training, and the bureau just happened to run into a eucalyptus again, I am now in the field of joint operations, and I can't get out of the way, so I can only trouble you to help me go to the forensic department for an autopsy!"
"Doctor Li, did you get it, I'll send someone to pick you up now!"
"Doctor Li, I'm really pleasing you, I really can't go back here, it's not good, the suspect has shown his head, let's not talk about it first."
Li Xiyang replied with a wry smile, "Okay, but I can't promise that I will be able to help you." ”
Put away the phone, looked up at Chen Xiaodao, "Take me to see it!" ”
……
On the other side, Han Lu, the deputy captain of the criminal police brigade, was waiting impatiently in the forensic identification department.
According to the usual procedures of the criminal police brigade, after the police find the body, they must first determine the cause of death by a forensic doctor, and the forensic doctor declares that it is an unnatural death or homicide before they can enter the investigation procedure.
Natural death is not.
However, for cases that can be immediately confirmed to constitute a crime, there is no need to wait for identification, and immediate investigation can be conducted.
As for the eucalyptus currently received, the victim was obviously killed by him, but there was no forensic appraisal on it, and the approval document was not given.
This is unbearable for Han Da Police Hua, who has always been heartbroken.
The duty of the criminal police is to break the eucalyptus, the police situation is the order, and time is life.
The longer the delay, the more likely it is that the suspect will escape.
"Damn, why is this Forensic Doctor Li so long!"
If it weren't for the captain's entrustment, he would have to wait until Forensic Doctor Li came over, and Han Lu would have been able to get on it himself.
Han Lu has not been a superintendent for a long time, but after five years of visiting and platoon, he has developed excellent skills early.
There is also a glorious experience of chasing the murderer for thousands of miles.
In five years, 30 homicides were cracked, which also allowed Han Lu to rise to the position of vice captain at the fastest speed.
Seeing that more than an hour had passed, Han Lu was beautiful and decided not to wait.
But at this moment, the door of the autopsy room was pushed open, and someone walked in.
"Chen Xiao, what's your situation?!"
"Why so long!
”
"Don't you know how important time is to Broken Eucalyptus?"
"You are responsible for the criminal's escape, you go and explain to the family!
”
Before Chen Xiao entered the door, he was scolded for a dog's blood.
But this kid is notoriously quick to react and have a smart head in the game.
After thinking about it for a while, I knew that Captain Han was scolding himself, and he was clearly referring to Sang scolding Huai.
Immediately, he hurriedly said, "Captain, my fault, my fault, there is really a bit of a blockage on this road, and it delays time." ”
After speaking, he turned around and smiled apologetically at Li Xiyang outside the door.
Li Xiyang shrugged his shoulders disappreciatively, and then walked into the room.
When he came, Li Xiyang already knew that the person in charge of this case was a female police officer, but when he really saw Han Lu, Li Xiyang couldn't help but pay a lot of respect.
Like doctors, the police are serving the people and keeping them safe.
But their work is much more dangerous than doctors.
Almost every year, you can see the news of police deaths.
A female police officer, worthy of Li Xiyang's respect.
"Captain Han, I'm sorry, the courtyard is a little busy, and I haven't seen Captain Chen's message for a while."
Han Lu set his eyes on Li Xiyang, and looked at it carefully several times, "You are the forensic doctor Li that Team Chen said?" That's too young, isn't it? ”
"Forensics?"
Li Xiyang was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a smile.
How do you know that the other side directly scolded, "Aren't you a forensic doctor here to do something?!" ”
"Team Han, Team Han, you weren't here some time ago, you may not know that the poisoning eucalyptus case that Team Chen cracked last time was assisted by Dr. Li!"
"Really, Dr. Lee?"
Chen Xiao glanced at Li Xiyang.
When he came, he expressed to Li Xiyang very tactfully, and they Captain Han were extremely serious, so sometimes they didn't speak so well.
But it's definitely right about things and not about people,
I hope that Li Xiyang can have a psychological construction in advance and be more tolerant and inclusive.
Li Xiyang smiled and didn't take it to heart.
"You broke the poisoned eucalyptus?"
Han Lu's face slowly put away his contempt.
She knew that eucalyptus had been listed in the top ten classic eucalyptus examples of the Criminal Police Brigade.
"Alright, let's look at the corpse first." Han Lu pointed to the dissecting table.
Li Xiyang walked to the front of the stage and saw a male corpse.
The corpse died in a terrible state, with an axe on its skull, and its entire head covered in blood.
Chen Xiao smacked his lips, "A headshot with an axe, it's really cruel!" ”
Han Lu nodded and said to Li Xiyang, "I need you to identify him as killed immediately, so we can start the investigation." ”
"Heaven Descends"
Han Lu can't wait to catch the murderer!
However, she noticed that Li Xiyang was looking at her with a strange expression.
"What's wrong?"
Li Xiyang pointed to the corpse, "You said he killed him?" ”
Han Lu was stunned, "That's right! ”
"How so?"
"Huh?"
"Can't you see that he's killed so obviously?"
Han Lu laughed angrily, "A person has an axe on his head, if he doesn't kill him, can he commit suicide?" ”
Li Xiyang nodded seriously, "That's right, it's suicide!" ”
???
Chen Xiao was messy on the spot.
Han Lu's face was even more gloomy, "Forensic Doctor Li, you are teasing me." ”
Li Xiyang shook his head, and then motioned for Chen Xiao to help him turn the body over.
Han Lu looked puzzled, not understanding his intentions.
When the corpse was turned over, Li Xiyang picked up a scalpel from the instrument table on the side.
The scalpel was in Li Xiyang's hand, as if it was alive.
Cut directly into the back of the deceased, cutting through the skin, fascia, muscles...
The skillful knife technique is like a cow, and in the blink of an eye, all the muscles of the deceased's back are cut.
knife
Soon!
But Han Lu was not as good as he could praise.
Because under the broken muscles, the crest vertebrae of the deceased were completely broken, just like a porcelain doll, and with a slight force, the spine was all scattered.
Han Lu was shocked and asked, "How can this be?" ”
Li Xiyang said calmly, "The deceased's spine was comminuted and fractured, which shows that the deceased fell from a high altitude before his death, and judging from the degree of fracture, he fell at least from a height of more than ten meters. ”
"Falling?!"
Chen Xiao was dumbfounded.
At this time, Han Lu hurriedly shook his head, "No, no, if he fell to his death, how do you explain the axe on his head?" ”
Li Xiyang thought for a moment and asked, "Can you show me the information of the deceased and the exploration report of the place of death?" ”
Han Lu glanced at Li Xiyang, "The original is in the bureau, but I have a backup in my mobile phone, and I will send it to your mailbox." ”
"Thank you!"
Soon, the file was sent to the mailbox.
Li Xiyang clicked on it and checked.
Chen Xiao on the side began to mumble to himself, "If it really fell to his death, is it possible that someone stood on a high place, cracked his head with an axe, and then pushed it down?" ”
Han Lu thought for a while and added, "It is also possible that the murderer was pushed down to a high place first, and when he saw that the person was not dead, the murderer chased down with an axe and made up for it!" ”
The more the two thought about it, the more they felt that this piece was not simple.
It is highly likely to be a vendetta, but the possibility of random killings is not ruled out.
At this time, Li Xiyang finished reading the report, shook his head and smiled, "This person is indeed not killed by him!" ”
"Huh?"
Han Lu frowned, "What evidence do you have?" ”
Li Xiyang flipped his mobile phone to one of the pages of the physical evidence and said, "In addition to the deceased, the fingerprints of the second person were not found on the axe. ”
"That's it?"
Han Lu smiled disdainfully, "The murder eucalyptus now is not like before, the murderers are all smart, and it is a common trick to wipe off the fingerprints after using the murder weapon, and it will deceive you little forensic doctors who have never been to the scene." ”
Chen Xiao nodded, a few years ago, because of these many eucalyptus, they were wrongly judged.
The bureau has also been preparing to renovate the old eucalyptus recently.
Li Xiyang asked rhetorically, "Then did you find other people's footprints at the scene?" ”
It is clearly written that the deceased died on a barren mountain, and because the mountain had been abandoned for a long time, few people in the village went there.
It shouldn't be difficult to find the footprints of other people on the day of eucalyptus, right?
But why are there only the footprints of the deceased at the scene.
Han Lu smiled, "Since the murderer knows to wipe off his fingerprints, of course he will clean up his footprints and forge alibi evidence." ”
Li Xiyang shook his head, "According to my speculation, the deceased should have died 7-8 hours ago." ”
Chen Xiao nodded, "That's right, we received the report at 7 o'clock this morning, Doctor Li, you are really amazing!" ”
Han Lu glared at Chen Xiao, "What does that mean?" ”
"What does it mean?"
Li Xiyang looked at Han Lu with a strange look.
Han Lu clearly felt the doubt, which seemed to say, you will really break the eucalyptus?
"Damn, what do you look at?"
Li Xiyang didn't answer, shrugged his shoulders and said, "If it's really like you said, the murderer knows how to erase fingerprints and footprints, then it means that the murderer is very smart and premeditated." ”
Han Lu nodded, he was able to show no clues on the scene, this person was definitely planned in advance.
But Li Xiyang suddenly smiled, "Then I don't understand, since the murderer is so smart, why didn't he choose to do it at night, but during the day?" ”
Han Lu was stunned, this...
Li Xiyang continued, "Don't you think it's contradictory that a person kills someone during the day, and he can still wipe off his fingerprints and footprints with certainty, and he doesn't worry about being seen by others at all?" ”
Although the site is a barren mountain, there are many villages nearby.
There are often old people who go up to herd sheep and cut grass, and there are children to play, which is by no means desolate to the point of being inaccessible.
How dare he?
Chen Xiao suddenly patted his head, "This person must be a powerful local bully." ”
Li Xiyang raised his eyebrows, "What do you say?" ”
"If you think about killing people in broad daylight, you are not afraid of being seen, then it must be someone that the villagers can't afford to provoke, and they don't dare to say anything when they see it!"
Han Lu nodded, this kind of thing exists in many remote areas.
The local bullies covered the sky with one hand, and the people dared to be angry but did not dare to speak.
Li Xiyang looked at these two people quietly, and couldn't help but make up the love and hatred between the good people and the village tyrants.
He shook his head and smiled, "I don't know if there are bullies, I only say what I see and speculate." ”
Li Xiyang then flipped to another picture, which was the scene of the deceased.
He pointed to the deceased's trousers and said, "You see, the deceased's trousers were rubbed with a lot of mud on their knees, and there was also a lot of wet mud on their shoes, which shows that the deceased did climb the mountain wall before his death."
According to the confession of the family, this axe is the deceased, and it is often used to go up the mountain to crack firewood and collect orphans before his death.
If, as Officer Chen just said, the deceased was first beaten to death with an axe on the top of the mountain, and then kicked off the cliff,
Then the murderer must first snatch the axe from the hands of the deceased, and a fierce physical conflict is bound to occur between the two.
But if you look closely,
Li Xiyang turned the deceased over again, and there were no scars on his arms, chest, neck, or even face.
This is clearly unreasonable. ”
Han Lu thought about it for a while, this is the truth.
However, "what if the deceased was kicked down the mountain by the murderer and then hacked to death with an axe?" ”
Li Xiyang smiled, "This is better explained, first of all, the location of the deceased is less than 1 meter away from the mountain wall, which I have already explained with the previous poisoning eucalyptus,
If a person falls from a height of more than 10 meters, the body will fall at least two meters away if it has been subjected to an external force.
This is clearly unreasonable. ”
Han Lu was not convinced, and wanted to say something more.
Li Xiyang raised his hand, "Don't worry, listen to what I say." ”
"Even if you don't consider this point for now, it's really like you said that the murderer walked down the mountain and mended an axe, but have you carefully looked at the wound on the deceased's head?"
"Wounds?"
Han Lu didn't understand what Li Xiyang meant.
At this time, Li Xiyang threw a pair of gloves to Han Lu, "Next!" ”
Han Lu was stunned for a moment, but still put the gloves on his hands.
Then I listened to Li Xiyang say, "You hold that axe and try to crack a wound that is exactly the same as that of the deceased." ”
Han Lu glanced at Li Xiyang, and then picked up the axe.
I thought it was just a slash on the head,
But when Han Lu really did it, he suddenly found a problem.
The wound on the deceased's head was in the middle of the skull, but the wound was again diagonally directed towards the right eyebrow bone.
The angle is around 30 degrees.
At first glance, this wound is nothing special.
But if he wanted to make a wound that was exactly like it, the assailant would have to stand on the right side of the corpse and slash it in an extremely twisted position.
This... This is really weird!
Han Lu looked at Li Xiyang strangely, and Li Xiyang explained, "The murderer kicked the deceased down the mountain, and then caught up with him and made up for it, either because of deep hatred or psychological distortion.
Either way, they must have enjoyed the fear and despair of the deceased.
If I were a murderer, I would have admired his desperation head-on, or I would have stood above my head, condescending, like a judge.
In short, it will never be in such a ten-twisted position. ”
Chen Xiao came over and tried it with an axe, the position was indeed awkward.
After thinking for a while, he said, "Could it be that the murderer is a cripple, or is his arm disabled?" ”
Li Xiyang smiled, "The idea is very good, but you ignore it!" ”
"What?"
Still in that photo, Li Xiyang pointed to the blood around the deceased's head and on the ground nearby.
Then he said, "No matter what angle this knife is cut, the deceased's cerebral artery has been cut off, which means that the murderer must have blood stains on his body.
But judging from the distribution of blood stains in the photo, there was no one around when the deceased was slashed. ”
"What?!
”
Han Lu's eyes widened, incredulous.
Li Xiyang explained, "Driven by blood pressure, the rupture of arterial blood vessels can cause blood to spurt out rapidly, and the blood spots of typical splattered blood stains are in the same direction, and according to the distance from near to far, the blood spots can be oval to long point.
When the amount of blood spilled is large, streaks of blood may appear. ”
"You see, if the murderer was really standing here and doing something at that time, there should never be blood splattered on the ground and behind it."
Han Lu is numb,
"If there really isn't a murderer, could it be that the deceased himself cracked his head with an axe?"
Li Xiyang smiled, "That's not it!" ”
So he told the two of them his thoughts, "I speculate that the deceased set off from home in the morning, and brought his axe should have planned to go up the mountain to pick orphans, the deceased's family lived in Liyuan Township, and I remember that there is a very famous local 'monkey lonely' growing on the mountain wall.
This man must have climbed up the mountain wall with an axe in his mouth.
Suddenly my foot slipped,
Speaking of this, Li Xiyang paused,
Turning over the palm of the deceased's hand, there were several obvious scratches.
Then he continued, "I guess I didn't grasp it firmly in my hand, so I fell down." ”
The deceased landed on his back and smashed his spine to pieces.
At this time, the axe that fell out of his mouth happened to fall and cracked on the deceased's head impartially. ”
After Li Xiyang finished speaking, Han Lu and Chen Xiao opened their mouths in a daze.
Moments later,
"Poof~"
"Hahaha!"
Han Lu laughed heartily, laughing so much that tears came out.
"No, it's not, are you a forensic doctor, or are you writing?"
"You made it all up, hahaha, no, I'm laughing to death!"
Li Xiyang shrugged his shoulders and didn't care.
He just said what he thought based on the clues on the corpse.
Whether it is the truth or not, it is up to the police to find out.
Chen Xiao saw that Team Han was laughing and was about to get angry, and he nodded apologetically at Li Xiyang with some embarrassment.
But
This really can't be blamed on the Han team, even Chen Xiao felt outrageous when he heard it.
A man went up the mountain with an axe to pick orphans, but his hand slipped and he was cracked to death by the axe.
This...
Li Xiyang thought for a while and said, "The eucalyptus occurs during the day, so I suggest visiting the villagers who usually fall in love with the mountain, and maybe there will be eyewitnesses." ”
"Cut~"
Han Lu pursed his lips and said disdainfully, "I have already arranged it." ”
Do you think I'm really going to be here stupid and waiting for you to analyze?
In the end, an accidental death was also analyzed.
I won't accept you if I don't accept the wall!
Han Lu was still complaining, and his phone rang suddenly.
"Hey, Xiaolin, how are you visiting over there?"
"Team Han, there's a discovery!"
"Oh?"
Han Lu raised his eyebrows, "Found the murderer?" ”
"No, it's not murder at all, it's an accident!"
"What?"
"Team Han, let me tell you, this thing is really damn and off the charts......"
Subsequently, the criminal policeman Xiaolin told Han Lu in detail about the news he had visited.
Chen Xiao couldn't hear what was specifically said on the other side, but he just saw that the expressions of the Han team were becoming more and more unnatural.
When he finally looked at Li Xiyang, his eyes showed a deep shock.
Chen Xiao blinked, could he really guess correctly!
It wasn't until Han Lu hung up the phone that Chen Xiao couldn't wait to ask, "Team Han, what's the situation?" ”
"Just now Xiao Lin said that when he visited, he met an uncle, and the uncle said that he witnessed the passage of eucalyptus."
"What an eyewitness!" Chen Xiao hurriedly asked, "Then did he see the murderer?" ”
Han Lu tugged at the corners of his mouth, "There is no murderer!" ”
"Huh?"
Chen Xiao's face instantly became exciting.
"In other words, it was really said by Dr. Li?"
Although Han Lu didn't want to admit it, what Xiao Lin said was almost exactly the same as what Li Xiyang said.
It was the man who fell while climbing the mountain and was cracked by an axe!
"Then why didn't the uncle call the police before?"
At the mention of this stubble, Han Lu laughed and cried, "Uncle said that he was nervous about planting in the ditch at that time, and it took him a long time to climb up." ”
"Poof~"
Chen Xiao was also amused.
Uncle is still uncle in the end.
Show!
Looking back at Li Xiyang, Chen Xiao admired his face.
"Dr. Li, you are truly a god!"
Li Xiyang shook his head, "It's good if I can help!" ”
Han Lu hesitated for a moment, feeling that it was still necessary to say something.
But before he could speak, the door to the autopsy room opened, and another corpse was pushed in.
"What's the situation?"
When the other party saw that it was Han Lu, he hurriedly reported, "Team Han, a fisherman just called the police and said that a corpse was found in the Bishui River. ”
Han Lu hurriedly walked to the cart and lifted the white cloth on his head, revealing a female corpse.
"Has the body been claimed?"
"Not yet, but I received a call from the police on the road, saying that someone jumped off the bridge at Xiliang Bridge last night, and the frogman searched all night, and the body has not been recovered until now."
"Xiliang Bridge? Isn't it the upper reaches of the Bishui River, hurry up and notify the family to claim it! ”
"Good!"
At this time, Chen Xiao approached and glanced at the woman.
Shaking his head, "It's a pity! ”
The woman was young and beautiful.
Why can't I think about it?
Han Lu is also helpless, the criminal police brigade receives a few suicides by jumping into the river almost every month.
Either it's a relationship problem, or it's too much pressure at work,
As for why this little girl is thinking?
Han Lu patted Chen Xiao, "Since you are so curious, you will be responsible for the family members when they come!" ”
"Me?"
Chen Xiao immediately shook his head and said, "Don't, don't, the Han team is still you, I really can't do it!" ”
Generally, when a citizen dies, the police will investigate whether it is suicide or homicide.
If he kills, he needs to be investigated immediately.
In the case of suicide, it is necessary to conclude that the cause of death is the suicide of a citizen.
Usually in this case, it becomes difficult for the family of the deceased to speak.
For example, if the deceased commits suicide for love, the family will ask the department to deal with the deceased's boyfriend and girlfriend.
If you commit suicide because of work pressure, you will ask the department to denounce the boss of the company.
And these do not constitute criminal facts at all, and the police cannot take any measures, so the family members will keep making trouble for themselves.
So Chen Xiao would rather take over the murder of eucalyptus together than touch this kind of eucalyptus.
"Team Han, just spare me, I'm really not good!"
"You guy!"
Han Lu deliberately teased the other party, and looked at what scared him.
At this time, Li Xiyang also walked in front of the corpse.
Han Lu looked at the corpse, then at Li Xiyang, and quipped, "Why, Forensic Doctor Li shouldn't want to say that she didn't commit suicide, right?" ”
Li Xiyang nodded, "It's really not a suicide!" ”
???
The wind in the Han Road is messy...
"Big brother, are you serious?"
Li Xiyang glanced up at her, "Big brother? ”
"Ahem... I mean Dr. Lee, you said she didn't commit suicide, no kidding? ”
Han Lu stared at Li Xiyang tightly.
Li Xiyang did not answer directly, but pointed to the corpse and said to himself,
"When a person is drowning, it is usually due to the passage of a large amount of fluid into the respiratory tract and the exchange of gases."
There are many ways to tell if a person is drowning.
First, when a person is drowning, due to the nervousness before death, he struggles in a hurry, and his hands may grasp aquatic plants, branches, sediment or other foreign objects, and he will grasp these debris and hold it firmly, thus causing muscle spasms in his hands, which will remain until death.
Second, it is late autumn, the river water is extremely cold, after the human body enters the water, the skin is stimulated by the cold water, and the erector pili muscle of the hair follicle contracts, making the hair follicle swell and bulge like goosebumps, commonly known as goosebumps.
It generally appears on the sides of the chest and abdomen, buttocks, upper arms, and the outside of the thighs.
In addition, because the water temperature is much lower than the body temperature, the blood vessels in the skin are constricted, and the skin of the corpse will appear exaggerated white.
Thirdly, due to the low temperature of the inhaled river water, it irritates the tracheal mucosa and secretes a large amount of mucus.
The river water, mucus and gas in the trachea will form a large amount of fine and uniform white foam under the stirring of respiration.
These foams contain proteins in their composition, so they have a certain viscosity.
After being excreted from the body, it is relatively stable and does not easily break and disappear, so it is usually possible to find solitary bubbles in the mouth and nose of the drowned corpse.
Fourth, drowning asphyxiation, the corpse is mainly manifested by conjunctival hyperemia and the formation of scattered hemorrhage points under the conjunctiva;
Some of those who drowned also experienced distended veins in the neck and swollen face.
Fifth, the deceased's respiratory movements before death can inhale drowning fluid, sediment, etc. into the trachea, bronchi, and even lungs, so the abdomen of the fresh corpse is usually compressed, and the drowning fluid can be seen flowing out of the mouth and nose.
After saying it at five o'clock, Han Lu and Chen Xiao were stupid.
Because these features clearly do not match the corpse in front of him.
Chen Xiao even walked over and pressed the corpse's abdomen, "Team Han, there is really no drowning coming out!" ”
Han Lu nodded, stared at Li Xiyang and asked, "So you're saying that she didn't commit suicide by jumping into the river?" ”
Li Xiyang thought for a moment, and then said in a slightly rigorous way, "At least for now, I haven't seen any characteristics of a drowning person on the corpse. ”
"What do you think..."
When the words came to his lips, Han Lu also asked in a different way, "Then the existing clues, do you have any ideas?" ”
"Or can you guess the cause of her death?"
As soon as these words came out, it was almost equivalent to Han Lu admitting Li Xiyang's ability.
Even Chen Xiaodu on the side glanced at Han Lu in surprise.
The deputy team is notoriously worried in the bureau, not to mention the strong ability, and no one is convinced.
It's that Team Chen and the director have no way to take her.
At least Chen Xiao had never seen the deputy team ask anyone so cautiously.
Li Xiyang didn't notice this, and of course he wouldn't care.
At the moment, his attention was all on the female corpse.
Maybe it was because the woman was immersed in the cold river water, Li Xiyang faintly heard some sounds.
This is the first time Li Xiyang has heard the sound of organs on a dead person.
The sound is short and faint,
But it is enough to confirm Li Xiyang's conjecture,
So he looked at Han Lu and slowly said four words.
"Throw the body after death!"
