Volume 3 The Nest Chapter 219 The Coffin is Shocked
The hanging coffin of such a large amount of effort is not just as simple as imagined, and there must be a shocking secret hidden behind it.
Yu Huo was a little impatient, but Tang Ruoxi and Lin Wanyin behind him were frightened, thinking that the yacht could return as soon as possible, guarding such a coffin, and the nervous sea fishing mood was completely gone, let alone relaxed.
Lin Wanyin is now possessed by a fox immortal, and originally wanted to use this opportunity to go to sea to torture Yu Huo to extract a confession again, so that Yu Huo could take the initiative to tell the whereabouts of the three major sacrificial vessels of the sewing corpse, but she didn't want to encounter this matter, which completely disrupted her plan.
And Tang Ruoxi didn't know Lin Wanyin's true identity, so she held Lin Wanyin's hand tightly and said cautiously: "What is in this, could it be a corpse?" ”
"Wouldn't you open it and see it?"
Yu Huo took advantage of Tang Ruoxi's words to directly put pressure on Liu Tie, after all, what was salvaged was not an ordinary thing, but a coffin, which completely aroused Yu Huo's curiosity about what was inside the coffin.
Seeing that everyone was looking forward to it, he originally thought that when the yacht docked, the forensic doctor would arrive, and then open the coffin for inquest, but now what was in this coffin, Liu Tie was also a little curious and couldn't bear it.
In the end, Liu Tie did not keep his bottom line, found a crowbar on the yacht, and directly pried open the coffin nail, and when the coffin cover was pushed open, when everyone looked inside, they couldn't help but be frightened and retreated.
Judging by everyone's expressions, it was clear that the coffin was not filled with treasure, but a corpse, a well-preserved corpse.
The reason why the corpse in the coffin can be preserved so well is that on the one hand, someone put a lot of preservatives in the coffin, and on the other hand, it naturally has a great relationship with this hanging in the deep sea.
In the past, it was not uncommon for wood to be hidden underwater in order to protect it from corrosion.
The principle is actually very simple, the log is placed in the river, lake, reservoir, isolated from the air, to avoid oxidation, in order to prevent bacteria, insects and dry cracking of a preservation method, can make the wood preserved for a long time, even has a thousand years of precedent.
And this coffin, apparently, is the use of this simple and practical method, not only can the coffin be well preserved, but also for the storage of the coffin, supplemented by some special maintenance methods, it can naturally achieve a very good preservation effect.
The corpse in the coffin can be preserved intact to this day, and it is obviously with the help of such an ingenious method that the corpse can be decomposed without rotting and flawless.
The question is, who is it that hangs the coffin in this deep sea in order to preserve this corpse?
What is the purpose of preserving corpses? What is the intention? These questions cannot avoid everyone's speculation about the origin of this corpse.
According to legend, because the rivers and seas rely on the sea to eat the sea, there was a time when the theory of sea burial was popular, believing that sea burial can make the body immortal, through the purification and washing of seawater, so as to achieve the purpose of comforting the soul.
Although this is a rumor full of superstition, there seem to be some records of sea burials in the geographical chronicles of the rivers and seas, which cannot be verified, but cannot be easily erased.
Looking at the corpse, Liu Tie's professional sense of smell told him that this was by no means as simple as a sea burial, but had another hidden secret, and even involved murder.
Out of cautious consideration for the deceased, Liu Tie did not conduct an autopsy himself, but re-covered the coffin board, and said with a solemn face: "The opening of the coffin just now has violated the organization's records, and then it will be handed over to the professional team to deal with." ”
Liu Tie has his own considerations, but the embers on the side also believe that this corpse should not be buried at sea, nor should it be a normal death, because there are obvious traces of sewing corpses on the neck of the deceased.
Although the traces of those flying needles have been specially treated and covered up, Yu Huo is an insider, so he can naturally see at a glance that this corpse has been patchworked.
"Captain Liu, this corpse is not trivial, it should have been dismembered after death, and then pieced together."
Yu Huo's words made Liu Tie hesitate for a moment, stopped the coffin board he was dragging in his hand, and asked with some curiosity: "Uncle Lai, these ...... How do you know? ”
was questioned by Liu Tie in public, Yu Huo was stunned at first, and almost revealed his identity, so he hurriedly made up for it, and said: "I saw it from the book of the thief, I saw that there were some discordant places in the deceased, so there was this kind of speculation." ”
Although the reason for Yu Huo's blind fabrication was a bit far-fetched, it did not arouse Liu Tie's suspicions, because in the book written by Tang Daoyi, it was recorded that there was a statement about the corpse puzzle.
The details written in the book are described very well, and it can even be said to be very vivid, so that people who do not have any forensic experience can learn some scratches from it.
Yu Huo's ability to make up stories is indeed not to be underestimated, so that Lin Wanyin, who knew Yu Huo's identity on the side, almost laughed, but Lin Wanyin did not demolish Yu Huo in public.
Lin Wanyin knows that the consequences of demolishing the embers will outweigh the losses, and it can even be said that the disadvantages outweigh the benefits.
The lesser of two evils, Lin Wanyin is a smart person, so she naturally knows the trade-offs.
Once the identity of the ember fire is revealed, not only will the clues of the three major sacrificial vessels of the corpse be broken, but it will also involve the 'Five Immortal Guards', at least now is not the time for the 'Five Immortal Guards' to show their faces publicly.
Under the reminder of Yu Huo, Liu Tie lifted the lid of the coffin again, put on white gloves, and carefully examined the corpse, and found that this corpse was indeed pieced together as Yu Huo said.
Not only that, because the coffin was soaked for too long, under the accumulated corrosion of seawater salt, the inside of the coffin was somewhat damaged, and the most serious loss was naturally the head of the corpse.
The deceased's head has no clear facial features, and only the skull is left with a blurred outline, and if you look closely, you can find that the skull is also made of different fragments, and the skull, in several places, has been subjected to some kind of sharp weapon or heavy object to make a big mistake, which will lead to depression and deformation, so that the skull is distorted and out of shape.
But under the deliberate cover-up of someone, the outline of the skull was basically formed, and there was a paving of skin and flesh tissue before, and no one could see any traces at all, and over time, after the skull skin sac was corroded and necrotic, only the skull, the alien place, was exposed.
These doubts are more and more incredible, and Liu Tie, as a policeman, did not dare to let go of every detail easily, and then asked: "Uncle Lai, then in your opinion, did the deceased commit suicide or did he kill him?" ”
Seeing that Liu Tie was deliberately tricking himself, how could Yu Huo easily fall for him, and said with an ignorant look: "This is going to ask you police, I am a businessman, how do I know if this person committed suicide or he killed him." ”
Yu Huo was a businessman, so Liu Tie had no choice but to give up, cover the coffin board, take off the white gloves, light a cigarette, and keep emitting green smoke from his mouth and nose, it can be seen that he is adjusting his emotions as much as possible to face the invisible pressure brought by the complex case.
It is said that in peacetime, the police is a high-risk profession, and this can be proved from Liu Tie, but out of love for the profession, Liu Tie quickly adjusted his mentality, and the yacht was about to dock.
On the shore, uniformed police officers and forensic doctors in white coats were already crowded, waiting for the body to come ashore.
Jianghai has not been peaceful recently, in order to prevent the citizens of Jianghai from adding blockage, the police blocked all media and self-media, and at the same time, two kilometers away from the coast, have set up a cordon, so that the news of this deep-sea hanging coffin will not be spread to the outside world as much as possible.
Judging from these details, Liu Tie, the captain, was more thoughtful, and he did this out of consideration for the safety of the whole city of Jianghai, and at the same time a kind of awe for the dead.
As a criminal investigation policeman, I have to face joys and sorrows, life and death every day, and naturally understand the meaning of life and death.
"I'm sorry, Uncle Lai, Miss Ruoxi, Miss Wanyin, I swept everyone's interest today, and I will definitely come to the door another day to make amends."
Before leaving, Liu Tie was a little embarrassed to make amends, but as a policeman, he naturally put solving the case first, and his personal emotional problems had already been forgotten.
"Captain Liu......"
Liu Tie hurriedly wanted to get into the police car, but was stopped by Yu Huo, and then said, "Can you borrow a step to speak?" ”
Seeing that Yu Huo wanted to stop talking, Liu Tie knew that Yu Huo had something to do, so he jumped out of the police car and said, "Uncle Lai, if you have anything to say, you might as well say it directly, as long as it is helpful to the case, our police will accept it reasonably and even adopt it." ”
"I see that the deceased's skull is blurred, and if there is a need to restore the deceased's appearance, I can find someone to help."
Yu Huo only said half of this, so naturally he couldn't expose his identity because of this, but he didn't want Liu Tie to be very confident in his forensic team, and said impatiently: "Uncle Lai, you are good at business, what about this...... You don't have to worry about it. ”
Liu Tie refused, the embers were not surprised at all, with the current technical means, if you want to restore a face, it is not a problem at all, not to mention the high efficiency, but also through big data analysis, accurately restore the appearance of the deceased at different stages of life.
But Liu Tie seems to ignore one point, this corpse is pieced together, that is to say, before the corpse is clearly pieced together, no matter how good the machine and algorithm are, it is in vain.
Liu Tie will come to the door sooner or later, Yu Huo is secretly happy in his heart, when Liu Tie comes to find him, he will naturally teach him a lesson.
Liu Tiehuo hurriedly got into the police, and with the sound of the siren, Yu Huo turned to look at Tang Ruoxi and Lin Wanyin behind him, and said with a somewhat embarrassed smile: "Second Miss, you see how much trouble this incident is going on today......"
"It's okay, Uncle Lai, you don't need to blame yourself, maybe we solved a murder case today."
Tang Ruoxi's comfort made Lin Wanyin resonate, and then said: "Yes, Ruoxi, but this is too scary, I don't dare to go to sea again in the future, by the way, my brother came to pick me up, I'll go back first." ”
After Lin Wanyin left, Yu Huo sent Tang Ruoxi home safely, and before Yu Huo left, Tang Ruoxi said with some trepidation: "Uncle Lai, can you stay and talk to me tonight?" ”
