Chapter 384: The Age of the Deceased

Da Zhao glanced at the three of them, with a posture of hating iron but not steel.

"You can't do it, don't watch it if you can't, go back and watch the video in a while, it's still November, what are you going to do if it's summer?"

The three of them were more embarrassed than uncomfortable at this time, but this nausea was uncontrollable, they all lowered their heads, constantly adjusting their breathing, Zhou Ning stepped forward and helped Forensic Doctor Cao to place the corpses on the dissection table one by one.

Properly placed, Zhou Ning did not rush to look, but waved his hand towards the small song behind.

"Use the equipment we've assembled, and take a picture of the corpse first."

Xiaoqu hurriedly moved, in fact, these things had been made early in the morning, and as the film was filmed, the state of the corpses was displayed on the monitor in the autopsy room, and Zhou Ning looked up at the monitor.

The deceased had multiple linear fractures in his ribs, and looking at the location of the fractures, it can be concluded that this was an injury caused during the dismemberment, not a pre-mortem injury.

The bones of the limbs and the vertebrae were not damaged, which was consistent with Zhou Ning's initial guess.

Zhou Ning retracted his gaze and looked at the body of the fetus on the autopsy table, the deceased in front of him originally had rotten blisters on the skin of the abdomen, but at this time it had been broken, and the rotten vein network was dense.

The medial peritoneum and uterus are considered complete, but they are cut at the bottom near the pubic symphysis, and there are tooth marks scratched by forceps on the fracture, and it seems that the fetal DNA collected by Forensic Doctor Cao was collected from here, but the fetus was not completely removed.

Just now, the fetus is in the breech position and the knee is curled up with both hands on the chest, there is no damage to the bones, except for the breech position, everything can be said to be normal.

As for the other corpses, Zhou Ning checked the corpse surface in turn, and the fractures of the corpses were very neat, they were the kind that were cut off against the joints, and as for the ribs, it seemed that they were cracked horizontally with an axe or firewood knife, otherwise they would not cause linear fractures of the ribs.

The size of the corpse parts of the arms and legs on both sides is basically the same, and there is no unevenness, so to achieve this state of division, it is necessary to understand the anatomical structure and be calm.

This is not killing a chicken, this is a pregnant woman with a child, a big living person, who can calmly divide the body pieces, and can also consider equality left and right, which is creepy.

Moreover, the deceased was an eight- or nine-month-old pregnant woman, who could do it?

Zhou Ning raised his head slightly, it seemed that he wanted to answer, and he had to find the process of autopsy by himself, after all, for the sake of prudence, Forensic Doctor Cao did not check the sex of the fetus, but only saw that it was a male fetus on the DNA test report.

Zhou Ning directly took the pubic symphysis of the deceased, and then glanced at Liu Yongxin, who was either a newcomer or a trace examination, Cao Forensic Zhou Ning couldn't say anything else, Liu Yongxin didn't talk nonsense, and hurried over.

After all, they had already discussed the process before they came, and this pubic symphysis was the easiest part to determine the age of the deceased, and it had to be extracted first, after all, the deceased's outer shade and shade had already been sampled.

Zhou Ning also checked it just now, and found no traces of the surname, the deceased's skin was fair, there were no obvious characteristic signs such as scars on the trunk and limbs, and even the scars of the cowpox vaccine could not be seen clearly, which was very rare.

Liu Yongxin held the tray, holding the pubic symphysis, dragging another intern, Pang Tianhang, the two went straight to the pressure cooker, Pang Tianhang was already stiff, Zhou Ning glanced at it, this state was too real, I thought that if I was carried to deal with the pubic symphysis at high pressure, I am afraid that my legs would be weak.

Putting away his thoughts, Zhou Ning instructed Da Zhao:

"Da Zhao made an autopsy statement and turned on the video recorder."

Da Zhao didn't shirk it, hurried to the front, cleared his throat and turned on the video recorder, and began to introduce it quickly, covering almost all the information he said last night, and all kinds of numbers and time points were very accurate.

Cao Pingzhang, who was standing beside Liu Yongxin, kept nodding and giving a thumbs up to Liu Yongxin, and Liu Yongxin leaned into his ear.

"Don't be surprised, this kid has been cooperating with my baby apprentice for two years, and he is very skilled, and he is only a trace inspector."

Seeing Cao Pingzhang's surprised expression, Liu Yongxin hugged his arms with satisfaction and looked at the dissection table.

Zhou Ning took the scalpel and began the autopsy one by one, not letting go of each part, carefully observing and analyzing the traces of muscle breakage, as well as the shape left by the cut surface.

In the last step, the uterine wall is gently cut, and the fetus is exposed.

Of course, with this action, it seemed that the taste of the dissection room had risen to another level, Wang Zhenjian was the first to rush out, Zhou Ning did not stop moving in his hands, peeled off the fetus, and then put it on the side and carefully examined it.

In the X-ray examination, it felt that the month of the fetus was eight or nine months, but now that he saw the original appearance of the fetus, Zhou Ning could conclude that the actual month of the fetus should be at least nine months, or even close to forty weeks.

The facial features of the fetus are not too corrupt and deformed, but the color of the blood vessel network on the surface of the body is very dark, and there is no deformity in the facial features and limbs, but the size of the fetus is really small.

Zhou Ning cut the umbilical cord, picked up the fetal corpse, and motioned to Da Zhao to bring the electronic scale, Zhou Ning put it up and looked at the gram weight, the fetus was only 1980 grams.

Zhou Ning moved, a fetus that seemed to have fully developed, even if it was only nine months, this weight seemed to be a little small, could it be that there was any disease in the mother's body?

In his mind, when he was training in the small black room before, he saw a eucalyptus example, which made Zhou Ning come to his senses, and looked up to find Cao Pingzhang's figure, Liu Yongxin felt it, and quickly pushed Cao Pingzhang.

"Hurry up, my apprentice is looking for you!"

Cao Pingzhang leaned over, and Zhou Ning hurriedly asked:

"Forensic Doctor Cao, I want to ask, did you extract the blood from the deceased's heart before?"

"After extraction, I did a corpse examination, video and photograph, and sampled and sent each part for testing, as for the blood in the heart, how much can be collected, after all, I think that if the identity of the deceased is found in the next step, the blood can be compared."

Zhou Ning nodded, and hurriedly stopped Forensic Doctor Cao, who was a little excited.

"I read the test report before, and I didn't do a blood sugar test for the deceased, since I kept blood in my heart, then contact the laboratory department and do a quick blood sugar monitoring for the deceased, I want to know the blood sugar value of the deceased."

Cao Pingzhang was slightly stunned, but he didn't ask a word, quickly took out his mobile phone, dialed a number, and then walked to the door of the locker room, and said there that Da Zhao had turned off the video function at this time.

Liu Yongxin leaned closer and glanced at the fetus on the scale, the weight and the state of the fetus, Liu Yongxin thought about it and said:

"Do you think that the actual month of the fetus is a little bigger than it seems, and you suspect that the deceased has gestational hypertension or gestational diabetes, so the fetus is stunted, or the fetus is too small?"

Zhou Ning smiled, it seemed that the master still understood himself.

"The fetus is fully developed from the face, but this head circumference and weight really don't match, I look at this fetus should be close to term, wait for them to check, this is very fast, if you can look for it from this direction, I think the search range can be much smaller."

Liu Yongxin nodded, with hope on his face.

"That's true, let's wait for the results."

After waiting for a long time, Forensic Doctor Cao hung up the phone and ran over quickly, with a hint of surprise on his face, after all, the speed of blood sugar testing is very fast.

"The deceased's blood sugar was 16.7mmol/L, which is quite high, and I didn't even think about it at the time......"

Without waiting for Forensic Doctor Cao to finish speaking, Zhou Ning turned around, walked to the deceased's corpse, directly found the piece of the upper abdomen, and distinguished, all parts of the deceased's digestive tract were placed next to the piece of corpse on the back of the lower abdomen.

Zhou Ning pinched the deceased's stomach, which was completely empty, and checked it up and down, there were not many intestinal contents, but the deceased's head was missing, this is really not easy to judge, before he died, the deceased was gastrointestinal emptying or some food.

However, this value of 16.7mmol/L is really high enough even for postprandial blood sugar.

"The deceased was dismembered and thrown into the water, the body parts were in a state of high decay, according to the temperature and water temperature at the end of October, the time of the deceased's death was around October 20, and the state of the fetus I personally think is close to forty weeks, based on your previous inference, then we can give a search range.

The deceased was 36 to 40 weeks pregnant, so her pregnancy time was about early February to early March, and now she attaches great importance to pregnancy and has a child, and there is almost no one who does not go to checkup.

Screening for gestational hypertension and gestational diabetes is generally done at 24-28 weeks, that is, when the pregnancy is six to seven months old, and we work backwards, then this test is done between August 1 and August 28.

I think that Forensic Doctor Cao can contact the Huang detachment, check the time period of the major hospitals, conduct prenatal checkups in the hospitals, screen people with very high blood sugar levels when they have high gestational hypertension and gestational diabetes, and then check them one by one. ”

Cao Pingzhang was a little excited, holding a notebook and paper, writing down all this that Zhou Ning had just said.

was just about to turn around, but was stopped by Liu Yongxin.

"Don't worry, I think Zhou Ning hasn't finished talking yet."

Zhou Ning nodded slowly, but the phone in Forensic Doctor Cao's hand had already been dialed, and he hurriedly said a word, let the Huang team and the Wu team come in and listen to it, after all, there is still a deviation in the paraphrase, and if you can listen to Zhou Ning, it will be more accurate to omit the intermediate relief.

After a while, the two of them walked in quickly, apparently not leaving at all.

Liu Yongxin glanced at the time, took Pang Tianhang and Zou Jialong over, took out the pubic symphysis, and rinsed it clean, these two people are worthy of being personally selected by Zhou Ning, not to mention anything else, this tolerance to the smell is much stronger than ordinary people, and when they got the pubic symphysis, both of them looked at the pubic symphysis curiously.

The Huang team and the Wu team did not urge, and Zhou Ning raised his hand apologetically towards the two.

"Wait a minute, I'll take a look at the pubic symphysis of the deceased and try to give the age range of the deceased, which will be more conducive to your further search."

The two looked at each other and nodded earnestly.

They had all heard of these before, but there were too few major criminal cases handled by Dayao City, and it can be said that there was no one for many years.

Zhou Ning didn't care about those people, and carefully observed the morphology of the transverse crest, transverse groove, pubic tuberosity, lower end, dorsal margin, upper bony tubercle, ventral slope, edge of pubic symphysis, seven iconic positions.

These are in the small black house, he has been exercised for a month, and he only gives the pubic symphysis to distinguish the age of the deceased, so this is not a difficult thing for Zhou Ning, after looking at it, Zhou Ning raised his head.

"The deceased was between 20 and 24 years old."

"Director Zhou, are you sure?"

Facing the suspicious Huang detachment, Zhou Ning was stunned.

"Sure, of course I'm not done yet, do you want to hear my thoughts about career inferences?"
