Firefly: Preface

Fengyang Village is a subordinate village of Fengxiang Town, only 25 kilometers away from the high-tech zone, under the maximum speed limit of Xingxie, it took less than 20 minutes to rush to the vicinity of the crime scene in the mountain behind Fengyang Village.

The car stopped beside a forest on the western edge of the village, and as far as the eye could see, small buildings were scattered in the village, and smoke drifted slowly from several buildings.

Next to the car, Lin Shu, who was leaning against the tree, was panting heavily, unable to say a word.

At this time, Qi Xin's voice came from behind him, "It's the first time to take the car of the criminal squad, he used to drive a military pickup truck, you have to get used to it in the future." Qi Xin, who was wearing a ponytail, smiled and handed Lin Shu a tissue.

"How's the scene, Xiao Qi."

"Didn't we just arrive, and when we saw you coming with the trace inspection box, we planned to go in with you."

The group came to the cordon together, the scene of the crime was a clearing in the woods, the corpse was in a prayer form, kneeling on the ground, hands together in front of the chest, the whole body was charred, the skin was severely charred, the corpse was also lit with blue-green fireworks, and the air was filled with a strong smell of meat paste.

"Why is the body still burning after so long?" Qi Xin first raised a question.

"That's not a flame, it's a Parisian butterfly," a magnetic male voice said.

Lin Shu turned his head and was surprised to find that it was actually his acquaintance, "Senior brother!" ”

The forensic doctor of the Public Security Bureau in Fengxiang Town is called Luo Ying, and when Lin Shu was a freshman, Luo Ying, who was in his first year of graduate school, served as a teaching assistant and took them.

"Why are butterflies here?" Qi Xin still didn't understand.

Luo Ying continued: "Butterflies need to suck inorganic salts through the outside world, and the carcass with high salinity has a great attraction to butterflies, so there will be such a large group of blue-green Parisian butterflies flying around the carcass. ”

"That means that the reason why Concubine Xiang attracts butterflies is not because of incense, but because of the smell of sweat." At the same time that Qi Xin's words caused a burst of laughter from everyone, Qi Xin walked into the scene and began to conduct a trace examination.

Not long after, the people of the trace examination department had completed the preliminary survey of the scene, and Lin Shu and Luo Ying officially began to work.

Lin Shu walked around the corpse first, and his nervous heart gradually calmed down, "There are no traces of scorching on the ground around the corpse, which proves that this is not the scene of the first crime." ”

Xing Xie walked over with his pocket in his pocket at this time and said: "I have asked, this is not far from the village, about 150 meters, the villagers often come to this forest to collect firewood and go back to burn, the informant is the body found when he came to the woods to collect firewood at about 8:30 this morning." ”

Lin Shu nodded and began to record the scene with a voice recorder, "The clothes on the corpse were basically burned, and the skin was completely charred, in the shape of a fist. ”

"Isn't the fist-fighting shape a sign of a corpse that was burned to death before death?" After all, he was the one who had become the deputy captain, and Xing Xie immediately grasped the crux of the problem.

"Actually, it's not necessarily, as long as the fire is fierce enough, the rapid heating will also cause the soft tissues to shrink into a fist-like shape." Luo Ying explained on the side.

"There were no obvious trauma seen, and the female, about 160 cm tall, was on the thin side." As he spoke, Lin Shu carefully opened the lower jaw of the corpse, intending to observe the condition of the teeth. With a "click", a piece of burnt skin on the deceased's cheek fell off, revealing scarlet subcutaneous tissue.

"There are two dentinous points at the cusps that have enlarged into patches, and it is tentatively inferred to be about 38 years old. The teeth were not loosened, and mechanical suffocation caused by violent pressure on the mouth and nose was basically ruled out. ”

"There shouldn't be any more information, so I'll send it to the town for autopsy first?" Lin Shu asked Luo Ying tentatively.

Luo Ying didn't answer immediately, but continued to look around again before nodding.

Lin Shu and Luo Ying left with the corpse truck, while Xing Xie stayed behind to arrange for the people from the trace examination department to expand the search area, and at the same time let the district bureau case handlers assist the local police to carry out visits and investigations.
