Chapter Twenty-Six: The Giant View
Inside the long cordon, under the filthy quilt was a swollen, huge corpse.
At this time, there were only two voices at the scene of the crime:
The first is the sound of the shutter from the camera used to investigate the scene in the hands of the criminal police.
The second is the vomiting sound of the criminal police.
Although it is the end of summer, the temperature during the day is still very high, and the corpses under the quilt have taken on the appearance of giants, emitting a strong and pungent stench.
The corpse was highly decomposed, with a swollen face, protruding eyes, lips turned out, tongue extended, limbs fat and thick, a belly high bulge into a ball, dirty green skin, and emphysematous muscles all over the body.
The whole corpse looks like a balloon that will explode at any moment!
The view of giants is a corpse phenomenon. After death, due to the termination of the life process, those putrid bacteria that parasitize the human body during the state of life lose the control of the human immune system and grow and multiply wildly. These staggering amounts of spoilage bacteria can produce large amounts of putrefactive gases that are dirty green. These putrefactive gases fill the human body. In spring and autumn, 3~7 days after death, 2~3 days after death in summer, and 15~30 days after death in winter, the corpse will take on the appearance of a giant.
Several criminal policemen who were responsible for taking pictures and collecting evidence took turns to fight, and no one could survive two minutes, Zeng Lan only glanced at it, then turned around and ran to the side, vomiting nauseously.
I really admired Ren Qiushi, he was the only one at the scene who was extremely calm, silently squatting beside the corpse, and conducting a preliminary autopsy alone.
"I ...... I can't do it either...... ...... vomit" Li Meng suddenly frowned, feeling a wave of nausea in his stomach.
She didn't even step forward to see the corpse of the giant with her own eyes, just smelling the stench, she couldn't help but vomit.
I wasn't much better, I endured the churning in my stomach and gritted my teeth. Keep telling myself in my heart: I'm a criminal policeman, I'm a professional, I can't vomit...... Vomit......
The highly decomposed corpse could no longer be moved, and the entire autopsy had to be completed here.
Just as Ren Qiushi was about to conduct an autopsy, the corpse suddenly made a loud noise......
The highly decomposed corpse exploded......
That's right, the corpse exploded......
Suddenly, the juice splashed, the internal organs flew together, and an even stronger, more disgusting stench spread.
To handle this highly decomposed corpse, the forensic doctor needed to wear a protective suit similar to that used for epidemic prevention, and thanks to this protective suit, he was able to avoid getting wet.
The explosion of the corpse of a highly corrupted giant is a normal phenomenon, due to the increase in intra-abdominal pressure caused by the putrid gas, the heart is compressed and the heart blood is squeezed out, and the lungs are compressed so that the bloody fluid that collects in the bronchi and trachea mixed with the putrefactive gas flows to the larynx and overflows through the mouth and nose; Gastrointestinal compression causes food in the stomach to overflow out of the mouth, or into the larynx or trachea, which is called postmortem vomiting; The small pelvic floor is compressed, causing feces in the rectum to overflow and even prolapse the anus; If it is a pregnant female corpse, the fetus in the body can also be delivered due to pressure, which is called postmortem delivery or coffin delivery.
After the explosion, Ren Qiushi stayed in place, like a stone statue.
He was not shocked by the sudden explosion of the corpse, but he found that there were maggots flying out along with the blood.
In everyone's imagination, maggots are mostly white and chubby little bugs, although they will feel disgusting and terrifying, but they will never vomit. However, the maggots that burst out of the corpse of the giant in front of him, covered in dirty green juice, wriggled on the carrion, this visual stimulation challenged the limits of human physiology.
Ren Qiushi reached out and picked up one, holding it in the palm of his hand to observe it carefully.
After a while, Zeng Lan adjusted her state in time and rushed back, as a forensic doctor, she needed strong professionalism, she squatted beside Ren Qiushi, frowned, and handed over a ruler.
At present, the body was so highly decomposed that it was difficult to distinguish its appearance, and the explosion of the corpse caused blood to fly from the internal organs, which made the autopsy extremely difficult. Even though the cause of death can be known through an autopsy, the uncertainty of the weather makes it extremely difficult to infer the time of death.
In this case, maggots become particularly critical, and forensic doctors can infer the time of death from the maggot's development by looking at its length.
Even though Zeng Lan is a forensic doctor with high professional qualifications, she is a girl after all, and when she sees someone holding a maggot in her hand, the great visual impact brings strong psychological discomfort and makes her retch one after another.
"If you don't want me to write something in your internship report, you'd better hold back." Ren Qiushi said coldly.
Ren Qiushi is such a person, he usually doesn't look in shape, gags with everyone, and runs the train with his mouth. Once in the autopsy work, it is absolutely serious and meticulous. In his words: In criminal cases, the medical examiner is the spokesman of the deceased, and he wants to make what the deceased wants to say public.
Zeng Lan looked at Ren Qiushi, who was carefully observing maggots and covered in blood, and nodded vigorously.
She also knew in her heart that the forensic doctor dealt with corpses every day, and there was no solution to the physical discomfort caused by the appearance of corpses, and the only way was - habit.
Around noon, the preliminary autopsy results came in.
The deceased was a male, aged about 40 years old, and had died more than 72 hours ago. The deceased had a fatal spot in the chest, which was a stab wound from a single-edged dagger, causing hemorrhagic shock and finally dying of excessive blood loss. The deceased's lower body also had traces left by repeated blows with blunt objects, which was the same as the murder of Xie Lun and Cheng Qi, who committed the crime for the same murderer.
Another serial murder, this is already the third.
According to the sanitation worker who called the police, the deceased was a homeless man who came here about half a year ago, suffering from severe mental illness, having no relatives, and living by picking up garbage and begging for food.
It can be seen from this that the murderer's target is no longer limited to the rich second generation......
In all three homicides, the perpetrator was a woman who stabbed a man to death without being taken aback.
So the question is, how does a woman approach a strange man and make him completely let go of his guard?
There is probably only one answer: beauty.
The killer seduced the man to let down his guard and took him to a pre-selected hiding place, where he stabbed the man in the chest when he was about to communicate further with the woman.
Xie Lun died in Dongli Park, and Cheng Qi died in the alley in front of the door, both of which were chosen by the murderer after careful investigation and planning in advance, and there was no monitoring location.
If you think about it this way, the murder of the homeless man this time is very different.
The homeless man had been living in the area, and the death was there, and the killer did not take him to a location that had been investigated in advance and was not monitored.
In other words, the murderer killed the homeless man, and it was not in the plan......
