Chapter 19: The Belt
It was getting dark, and the salvage continued.
So far, three hours of salvage operations have been carried out, and Su Dakui's body has still not been found.
Even we, who have always been firm, have some wavering in our hearts at this moment.
Just then, a team of frogmen underwater surfaced and gestured towards us.
"Found it! The corpse is down there! The frogman team climbed ashore and made a somewhat weak sound.
This is definitely great news and a major breakthrough in the case. But it is also bad news, because Su Dakui, a big melon grower, has been killed.
"What's going on underwater?" I hurriedly walked up to the frogman squad and asked seriously.
The frogman team sat down on the shore and took a sip of water before replying: "There is a sack underneath, which looks like a human figure, with stones tied to it with hemp rope, and it has sunk to the bottom of the river. ”
After determining the location of the sunken body, the large salvage equipment immediately began to work, and a long iron chain was thrown into the water, which was secured underwater by the frogman team, and a wooden board was used to pad the body underneath it to protect the body from being damaged during the salvage process.
After more than half an hour of salvage work, Su Dakui's body was finally salvaged ashore.
Su Dakui had a total of two sacks on his body, one up and down, in the opposite direction, and tied the gravel with hemp rope around his waist to increase the weight of the corpse.
After the body was confirmed, it was immediately carried onto the body transport vehicle and immediately sent to the forensic department of the Ningzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau for autopsy.
At the same time, Ren Qiushi and Zeng Lan also received the news that the body had been salvaged ashore, and they immediately made preparations before the autopsy.
"Section Chief Ren, the corpse has been soaked in water for more than forty-eight hours, do you want to use the high-rot dissection room?" Zeng Lan suddenly asked.
Ren Qiushi thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Lao Qin said that the body was salvaged near the outlet of the reservoir, the water depth is the same as ten meters, and the temperature under the water is relatively low. ”
"Okay." After Zeng Lan changed into the dissecting costume, she arranged the dissection table and placed the dissection tools that she needed to use later into the metal tray one by one.
The one-button cleaning system of the dissecting table was activated, and the dissecting table has been disinfected, cleaned and dried to maintain a constant temperature in the room.
The corpse transport vehicle sounded its siren all the way and drove towards the Ningzhou City Public Security Bureau, and the serious crime team also returned with the team, Jiang Tingbai also conducted trace inspection and analysis based on the sole samples collected today, and locked the suspect through the degree of sole wear, shoe size, and stride length.
After a while, a siren sounded downstairs.
Ren Qiushi took a deep breath, opened the wardrobe, changed into an anatomical suit, and put on disposable rubber gloves.
The body was lifted onto the autopsy table, and everything remained as it had been salvaged, leaving nothing moving except for an incision we made in the sack at the scene to identify the body inside.
Ren Qiushi and Zeng Lan first cut the hemp rope around Su Dakui's waist, and then slowly split the sack on his body with a scalpel.
Su Dakui's whole person finally appeared in front of Ren Qiushi.
A big melon grower, the inventor of Tulong watermelon, and an old man who is nearly seventy years old, just lay quietly on the dissecting table.
Everything was as Ren Qiushi guessed, Su Dakui did not show obvious signs of giant view except for the edema of his body.
"At 9:12 p.m. on the X month, the first autopsy began, with forensic doctor Ren Qiushi and forensic assistant Zeng Lan." After Ren Qiushi made a statement and recorded the whole process in accordance with the process, he replaced the blade of a scalpel and began the autopsy.
Su Dakui was wearing a dark blue old-fashioned T-shirt, dark brown slacks underneath, a smooth self-buckle belt around his waist, dark blue silk high-top socks on his feet, and light brown mesh leather shoes.
This outfit all illustrates the aesthetics of a nearly seventy-year-old man, and this outfit matching, whether it is color or style, is obviously only available in the last century.
"The temperature of the corpse is low, the zombie is obvious, and the clothes are not obviously damaged except for the folds that appeared in the process of throwing the corpse." Ren Qiushi said as Zeng Lan recorded on the autopsy record sheet.
"There is no anomaly on the surface, keep the zombie, and cut the costume." Ren Qiushi said lightly.
Zeng Lan nodded, put down the autopsy record sheet in his hand, and cooperated with Ren Qiushi to cut Su Dakui's clothing.
The sharp scalpel easily cut through the thin summer clothes on Su Dakui's body.
After cutting Su Dakui's T-shirt, Zeng Lan prepared to cut Su Dakui's slacks.
At this moment, Ren Qiushi suddenly stopped Zeng Lan's work.
Then, Ren Qiushi's gaze fell on the smooth automatic buckle belt around Su Dakui's waist.
Because of the different genders of the user, there are a variety of belt buckle styles, different from the variety of women's belt buckles, including buckles, double ring buckles, pin buckles, etc., men's belts are mostly two kinds - pin buckles and automatic buckles.
And women almost don't use smooth self-buckle belts, so Zeng Lan didn't pay attention.
"This belt seems to be ......reversed" Ren Qiushi carefully observed Su Dakui's belt buckle, and suddenly muttered.
"Reverse? Can the belt be reversed? Zeng Lan felt very puzzled and looked at Ren Qiushi in a daze.
Ren Qiushi nodded and explained to Zeng Lan in detail: "The switch of this belt buckle is a small toggle button under the belt buckle. Normally, for a right-handed person, the belt buckle will be placed on the left side and the belt will be placed on the right side. Because when you untie the belt, you need to constantly pull out the belt, and you will use your usual hands, so the belt is on the right side. Not only that, but because the human index finger is longer, it is more convenient to flip the switch button.
But Su Dakui's belt is reversed, with the belt buckled on the right side and the switch button on it.
And you see, the roughness of Su Dakui's right hand is obviously heavier than that of his left hand, indicating that Su Dakui's right hand is a common hand, so no matter which aspect you think about, his belt is reversed. ”
"What does this mean?" Zeng Lan nodded, but she still had some doubts about it.
Ren Qiushi thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "So, this belt is most likely not tied by Su Dakui himself." ”
"Didn't he tie it himself?!" Zeng Lan felt even more puzzled.
In criminal cases, the belt is indeed a very important clue, especially for female victims, and is an important basis for judging whether they have been violated during their lifetime.
But Su Dakui is an old man who is nearly seventy years old, how can he be violated?
But this belt ......
