Chapter 2397: Time of Death

"Easy, light..." The forensic doctor in white overalls asked his assistants to carefully put down the body, "Pay attention to the head, don't use too much force, and don't be too loose..."

On the side, Zhao Yu, Cui Lizhu, and Xi Mengna, who woke up not long ago, stood aside, carefully observing the handling of the corpse.

After the body was put into the body bag, the local forensic doctor in Hela came to him and began to conduct a preliminary examination of the body.

In order to let the forensic doctor Guo Fengzhan see clearly, Zhao Yu asked Cui Lizhu to video-connect with the forensic doctor Guo again and give video guidance throughout the process.

"Oh, they are all frozen!" The local forensic doctor pressed the clothes of the deceased lightly, but saw that the clothes had become very hard.

"Open the clothes and look inside..." At this time, Forensic Guo commanded from the phone, "See if there is any adhesion inside?"

"Oh..." The local forensic doctor often deals with frozen corpses. When Guo Fengzhan said this, he immediately understood the meaning and hurriedly reached out to unbutton the deceased.

After the buttons were unbuttoned, he gently lifted the underclothes of the deceased, only to find that the underclothes could not be undone, and seemed to be stuck to the corpse.

"It's very possible to hang yourself," Guo Forensic Doctor said with a sigh, "The occurrence of adhesions means that after the deceased was hanged, his skin still sweated, and the sweat and clothes froze together.

"Then..." Forensic Doctor Guo said again, "Let's check the ditch and see when it was formed?"

"It must have been formed during his lifetime," said the local forensic doctor, pointing to the neck of the deceased. "It's very sunken here, with obvious swelling and deep marks. Moreover, the imprint of the lock groove is obviously clear, without that kind of oblique strangulation... ..."

"Then... check his clothes again," Forensic Guo said worriedly, "especially the arms, wrists, etc., to see if there are any strangle marks. Did the murderer have bound him before?"

"No," said the local forensic doctor, "I checked it just now, and there is no trace of binding. It is so cold here, if there is binding, the trace will be very obvious!"

"Wow, so..." Cui Lizhu asked, "Did Ge Bing really hang himself? Didn't someone hang him up?"

"Judging from the superficial features..." the local forensic doctor said, "there is a high possibility that the deceased committed suicide, but we have to conduct further investigations before we can be 100% sure!

"Because, there is another possibility that the murderer stunned or anesthetized the deceased with drugs, and then hung him up," said the forensic doctor. "However, the dose required for that is very large, and it can be detected!"

"That's right, but..." Forensic Guo on the phone added, "If the deceased was anesthetized, the characteristics of mechanical suffocation would be less obvious, the tongue would seldom come out, and... there would be very few scenes of incontinence... "

"So..." Zhao Yu nodded and said, "Ge Bing probably committed suicide!

"But..." Zhao Yu turned to ask, "I want to know when he died. Can you tell how long he was hung from here?"

"This...isn't it easy to say?" The local forensic doctor pointed to the corpse and said, "It's not just a problem of low temperature here, it's more than minus 20 degrees, which is basically equivalent to a cold storage!

"Just looking at the superficial features, it's hard to..."

"Guo Forensic Doctor, what about you?" Zhao Yu hurriedly asked, "Compared with the four corpses in front, can you compare them?"

"No," Guo Forensic Doctor said, "The environment of this corpse is different from that of the female corpse under the bridge, and it is still wearing clothes, but from the surface, it may be difficult to judge, but..."

"It shouldn't be long,

"The local forensic doctor pointed to a detail on the neck of the deceased and said, "It seems that there are signs of drying out... This thing will not appear until it has been frozen for at least two weeks..."

"No way?" Cui Lizhu recalled, "The last female corpse case seems to have happened 10 days ago, right?"

"What is draining?" Zhao Yu asked.

"Oh, for example, if there is a piece of meat in the freezer compartment of the refrigerator, we usually wrap the meat in a plastic bag. If the bag is not wrapped, the moisture in the frozen meat will evaporate quickly, and it will become very dry and sticky...

"It's the same reason," he said, pointing to the exposed skin of the corpse, "the same thing will happen to the frozen corpse, you can see that the color of these exposed skins becomes lighter at the edge, this is the phenomenon of desiccation!

"Usually, if this happens, the corpse must be fully articulated, and it will take a certain amount of time!"

"There is a weak airflow in the room," Guo forensic doctor analyzed, "The room is relatively dry, so you can't use your usual experience to judge it!"

"Guo Forensic Doctor," Zhao Yu said, "the death time of the deceased is very important, which will directly determine whether he is the killer under the bridge or not!

"So, can you give me an exact time?"

"Yes, there is no problem with this," said the local forensic doctor. "We often deal with frozen corpses here. By examining the stomach residues of the deceased, we can basically determine the time of death to within a week!"

"Through the time-series degradation products of liver tissue," Guo forensic doctor said a term, "I can be accurate to within 3 days..."

"Great," Zhao Yu said to the local forensic doctor, "In this case, let's send the corpse to your police station first! When Guo's forensic doctor comes, you can deal with it together!"

"Okay...Okay!" The local forensic doctor nodded in agreement, and then began to conduct routine inspections on the corpse.

As a result, he just found something in a pocket of the deceased.

But I saw a Xiaomi mobile phone and a little book...

"What is this?" Cui Lizhu was curious, "Why is there still a comic book? Hey? It's not in Chinese..."

Everyone looked at it, but saw that the villain's books were all in Russian.

"No way?" Zhao Yu was also a little surprised, "Russian comic book?"

"This... this is..." However, Simona recognized it at a glance, "This should be the case of the female corpse on the Suspension Bridge in Bucharest!"

"Oh... that's true!" Both Zhao Yu and Cui Lizhu could see that there was a drawing of a suspension bridge on the cover, and there was a noose for hanging under the bridge.

"The Far East of Russia, especially the places closer to us," said the local forensic doctor, "under the influence of our place, many comic books in Russian have been published...

"It's just..." He looked at the corpse and said, "Does the suicide person still have a little book?"

Zhao Yu wanted to take a good look at the comic book, but because it hadn't passed the inspection, it could only be temporarily put into the evidence bag by the technicians.

"I think the facts are getting clearer!" Cui Lizhu looked at the comic book in the evidence bag and said, "I can't guarantee it, this comic book belongs to the bride, the reason why Ge Bing used the method of the female corpse under the bridge Killing people is borrowing from this little book...

"He used this special way of killing to avenge the bride!"

"So," Simona said, "this man is undoubtedly the killer under the bridge! After killing people, he ran here and hanged himself, dying for love!"

"No!" However, Zhao Yu shook his head and said, "If he really hanged himself, then there is no need for him to make the case so detailed, so that no trace is left!

"This case..." Zhao Yu looked at the corpse, frowned and said, "It's definitely not that simple!"
