But I saw that the deceased was a very young woman, she looked to be in her early twenties, and the dress on her body was tattered, to the extent that she was not covered by clothes, and none of her exposed skin was good, full of whip marks, knife marks, burn marks and bruises, and the only thing on her body that was relatively well preserved was that face, except that the corners of her mouth were still sewn up with red silk threads, and there were no very obvious scars, so that people could clearly identify that the deceased was a beautiful woman.

This is indeed the type of victim that smile killers love.

The most horrific part of the deceased's whole body was her chest, a whole piece of skin on her left chest was brutally peeled off, revealing bloody fat and muscle tissue, and the murderer started near the deceased's left armpit, cut a hole with a knife, and tore the skin off alive.

As early as when Xu Jing saw the corpses of the first few deceased, she had a question in her heart - what did the murderer do when he tore off the skin of the deceased? If it was to torture the deceased, why not skin her whole body? Or why not skin the dead somewhere else?

Now seeing the tragic condition of the deceased with his own eyes, Xu Jing suddenly had an idea in his heart - such a repetitive and meaningless action was like making a sign.

Many serial murderers are keen to leave a mark of their own in their crimes, some unintentionally, but most intentionally.

However, isn't the corner of the mouth sewn with red thread already a sign? Why would he do it when he had such a clear sign? Or did he just want to take the skin off as his own trophy?

If the criminal psychologist she had worked with before had been on the scene, she would have seen much more.

She had no choice but to use her forensic expertise to find more evidence.

She neatly took the gloves she had brought when she came over, and stepped forward to do a simple autopsy, "The corpse mortis of the deceased has begun to ease, and the corpse spots cannot completely fade when pressed, and the color of the corpse spots is slower to recover after stopping compression, combined with the current weather, I speculate that the time of death of the deceased is a day ago, not more than two days." ”

Before she conducted the autopsy, Xiao Yi had already confessed to a servant and wrote down what Xu Jing said, and the servant looked at the woman in front of her who was indifferently fiddling with this terrifying corpse, and was a little unable to react for a while, until Xiao Yi glanced at him, he suddenly came back to his senses, and quickly wrote down what Xu Jing said.

"The injuries on the body seem to be pre-mortem injuries at present, and there are no scars on the body that may be fatal injuries, considering the blood loss of the deceased, the deceased may have died of excessive blood loss, but the specific situation needs to be further examined to know."

There is only a limit to what can be seen on the surface of the body.

Xu Jing thought like this, but her eyes suddenly froze.

I saw that there were several bite marks on the shoulders of the deceased, two on the right and one on the left, these bite marks were not shallow, and the two bite marks on the left obviously bit out blood, and the wound was already scabbed at this time, and the bite marks on the right side also had unresolved marks.

It's just that compared with the other shocking and dense wounds on the deceased's body, these three bite marks seem to be too "pediatric" in terms of both quantity and injury to the deceased.

Moreover, if you look closely, the clothes left on the deceased's body, the right half of the clothes are almost blood-red, and the left half of the clothes can still see the original color of the clothes in some places.

Looking at this point further, the wounds on the left half of the deceased's body also seem to be more numerous and dense than those on the right half.

Is this an accident, or is there something deep?

Seeing that Xu Jing suddenly stopped talking, Xiao Yi glanced at her and said, "If you want to further examine the corpse, just carry the corpse back to the criminal department now." Is there anything on the deceased that indicates her identity? ”

The latter question, he asked Yao Shaoyin.

Yao Shaoyin shook his head and said, "The deceased has nothing on his body except for this tattered clothes, fortunately, the deceased's face has not been destroyed." I have already called the painter to come over, and when the portrait of the deceased comes out, I will send someone to inquire about the house of the person who reported the disappearance in the past few days, and I should soon find out the identity of the deceased. ”

Xiao Yi nodded, "I'm sorry for you." By the way, I would like to ask Yao Shaoyin to lend me a few people, you know, our criminal department is compact, basically everyone has a lot of work on their hands, and it is difficult to find a few people to help out. ”

Yao Shaoyin laughed and said, "It's no problem!" Xiao Shilang is willing to borrow people from our government, it is our honor, with Xiao Shilang's ability, where will people not be able to borrow! ”

A few more face-saving words were spoken, and they were ready to go home.

Xu Jing returned to the carriage first, Xiao Yi explained the people Yao Shaoyin lent him outside, and also got into the carriage, "I have already asked someone to go to the business department to find out the caravan personnel who meet the characteristics we have just summarized, there are not many such people, and the list should come out soon."

According to your inference, the murderers all threw their bodies when they left Xijing, and the murderer is probably no longer in Xijing. ”

Xu Jing nodded, "That's right, so we have to find out the murderer as soon as possible before he goes far."

Xiao Shilang, was the body transported directly to the Criminal Department? I want to go to the autopsy now, I don't know if it's convenient? ”

Xiao Yi chuckled, "It's no problem, it's just that it's rare to see you so eager." ”

Xu Jing was slightly stunned and said, "I have something to care about, and I want to verify it as soon as possible." ”

It seems that from the very beginning, any slight emotion from her, this man will see it.

Xu Jing is more or less used to it.

After returning to the city, Xiao Yi took Xu Jing straight to the yamen of the Criminal Department, and walked all the way to the morgue of the Criminal Department.

The Criminal Department also has a morgue, but because the Criminal Department mainly reviews cases in various places, the morgue in the capital headquarters has fewer opportunities to be used, so the morgue is not large.

At this time, it was not yet time to get off duty, and there were still many officials walking around in the Criminal Department, and they were all stunned when they saw Xiao Yi bringing a woman in.

But fortunately, it was brought by Xiao Yi, that is, no matter how itchy they were, they didn't dare to come forward to ask.

Xu Jing was thinking about the case, but she didn't notice the eyes of the people around her, looked at the sky, and said, "Fortunately, there is still sunshine now." ”

Xiao Yi's eyebrows raised slightly, "Do you want to use the red umbrella to perform an autopsy?" ”

Such a tacit understanding is really trouble-free, Xu Jing couldn't help but have a faint smile on her face, and said: "There are too many wounds on the deceased's body, and it is difficult to find the key point in a direct autopsy, I want to examine her body surface in as much detail as possible before dissecting the corpse." ”

When investigating Zheng Shouyan's case before, Xu Jing had used the method of a red umbrella autopsy, and Xiao Yi immediately called two officials and asked them to take a red umbrella and bring wine and vinegar over, and at the same time set up a simple wooden bed in the small courtyard outside the autopsy room.

After everything was ready, Xu Jing carefully untied the deceased's clothes, because the deceased's body was full of scars, and some of the clothes and fabrics had been dried up with blood and scars, and it was not easy to peel them off completely.

After undressing, she carefully sprinkled the wine and vinegar on the deceased, waited for a while, and then opened the red umbrella and walked over.

Under the filtering of the red light, some of the originally inconspicuous scars on the deceased's body also appeared, and with the dense scars that already existed, it was simply shocking.

While Xu Jing watched, she marked the scars on the deceased's body that were not visible to the naked eye on the human body map, and when the red umbrella moved to the deceased's face, she was slightly stunned.
