Chapter 189 Number

Two boats, four frogmen, searched in the reservoir for a day, and indeed found four more body bags.

Because the body bags are smaller in size and weight, they are scattered over a larger area, and it is more difficult for frogmen to pick them up.

But the real difficulty is the huge pressure and responsibility.

The leaders of Qinghe City Bureau were called one after another to inquire about the situation.

This side naturally kept connecting with Wang Lan in the autopsy room.

When the four body bags were brought in, the previous four bodies in the autopsy room had not been finished.

When the forensic doctors saw the four new small body bags, they looked stern.

Several eyes looked at Jiang Yuan, which meant that the crime had escalated and there were more corpses.

Jiang Yuan was helpless and could only say, "Keep cooking. If a new body bag is delivered later, don't even think about sleeping."

Wang Lan also sighed, looked at the forensic doctors who had been up all night, and said, "Why don't we rest separately? One group will sleep first. Hmm... is there anyone willing to stay?"

"I'll stay." Jiang Yuan showed his style. He took a few hours to sleep when he went to eat yesterday, so he was not very sleepy.

Two other young forensic doctors and Niu Dong chose to stay.

Wang Lan naturally couldn't run away, so he asked the others to rest first, and the four forensic doctors here worked first.

Anyway, it's better to rest when the people are resting.

Thinking of this, Wang Lan sighed again and said to the criminal police who came to deliver the body bag next to him, "Please pass on the message and buy two more pressure cookers and send them over."

The criminal police had been frowning, but now he couldn't help it anymore and leaned over to vomit.

"Go to the floor drain and vomit on the dissection table. You can sleep here tonight." Niu Dong jumped up as high as the others and his voice was even louder.

The criminal police who came to deliver the body bag was not young anymore. He must be 30 years old. He had worked for nearly 10 years and had two children. He was on the verge of divorce. He was under great pressure from mortgage payments and his living expenses were soaring. He didn't want to go to class reunions and his urine was dripping, but he seemed to be living a decent life. Under normal circumstances, he wouldn't vomit.

It was just that the scene today was too shocking. From vision to smell and psychological feelings, it broke the bottom line of a 10-year police officer.

Ugh...

The criminal police vomited and vomited directly.

The hot air sprayed on the floor drain, and the smell that shouldn't be fragrant floated up. After being processed by the criminal police's mind...

Ugh...

Jiang Yuan and others fanned the air in disdain, and then heard Wang Lan urging: "Others who are going back to rest, hurry up. I give you 8 hours, no more than 10 hours, come back and change people."

Although there were 12 forensic doctors in total, some were old and some liked to slack off.

For example, the forensic doctor Ye from Longli County also came this time. He was lazy and idle all the time. In fact, he was not very useful. Wang Lan was not qualified to manage him.

The forensic doctor of the Municipal Bureau was just not used by the work unit, and his rank was not necessarily higher than others.

Moreover, this time, forensic doctors from all over the country supported the Municipal Bureau. They came to help, and Wang Lan could not use them to death.

After a while, there were only a few people left in the autopsy room.

Everyone continued to guard the two pots and boil bones.

Why did it take so long to boil.

To use a not so appropriate but very "vivid" metaphor, think about the New Year, if a family wants to cook half a fan of pig, how long does it take for the whole family to go out?

There are 4 bodies here, and they all have to be boiled until the bones are removed.

The ventilation fan is working desperately, and the whirring sound can't clear the heat in the autopsy room.

Jiang Yuan unpacked a newly delivered small body bag, took DNA as usual, sampled the water, left some residual tissue, and then renumbered the iron bucket, looked at the body parts one by one, and put them in.

There were no clues on the surface of the body parts, so after the previous body was cooked, the body parts in the bucket were directly poured into the pot and continued to cook.

In the forensic autopsy room, now all the super-large stainless steel buckets that can hold 50 kilograms are used. If it is not that this kind of cooking is too slow, it can be directly put on the stove to cook.

After looking at two bags of bodies, when looking at the third bag, Jiang Yuan let out a long sigh.

"What's wrong?" Wang Lan looked over.

"Found three arms." Jiang Yuan shook his head and unpacked the fourth body bag directly.

Sure enough, body bags 1, 2 and 4 probably belonged to one person. Body bag number 3 belonged to another person.

"The pressure is now on the frogmen." A young forensic doctor was probably exhausted and collapsed, laughing bitterly: "As long as they can't find the remaining two body bags, they can forget about coming up."

Jiang Yuan ignored this and pulled the stainless steel barrel over again, took the body parts of the 1st, 2nd and 4th body bags to the dissection table again, and tried to piece them together.

"Fortunately, except for the head, most of them are there." Niu Dong came to help, showing an expression of "I knew it a long time ago", and said: "It's not surprising that the murderer who threw the body far away and buried it near would do the trick of keeping the head far away and the body close."

The head far away and the body close is also a common routine in criminal investigation.

Because people generally believe that the head is the easiest to reveal the identity of the body, the murderer of the dismemberment case often handles the head separately, or throws it farther, or hides it separately.

From the treatment methods of "throwing far away and burying near", plus "head far away and body close", it can be seen that the murderer does not know much about modern criminal investigation methods, and it is highly likely that he is not a person who likes to learn and collect information.

It is more likely that he is a murderer who evolved step by step from an ordinary person.

“Four plus two, six people.” Jiang Yuan untied the body bag No. 3, which contained mainly upper limbs and torsos. It should belong to another male.

“I’ll make a call.” Wang Lan said, but did not move immediately. Instead, he thought for a moment and said, “Let’s divide the work.”

Several people looked at Wang Lan.

“Let Jiang Yuan analyze the bones first to see if he can find any clues.”

Wang Lan then explained, “We all see the current situation. These bodies may not be all. We have to find something as soon as possible. Not to mention locking them down, at least narrow the scope of investigation. Otherwise, when public opinion spreads and the social situation begins to ferment, if the murderer receives the news and runs away in advance, it will be troublesome.”

Wang Lan motioned Jiang Yuan to start working, saying, “Now is the time to race against time. We can’t let the murderer have the opportunity to plan ahead, or eliminate evidence, or change behavior...”

In short, before the murderer gets the news, finding some evidence and locking some information will be beneficial to solving the case and litigation.

This is what Wang Lan wanted to express.

Niu Dong heard it immediately, and laughed twice in a silly way, saying: "It means that our skills are not as good as Jiang Yuan's. Let Jiang Yuan do it, and we continue to be the cooks..."

"I didn't know you were so obsessed with anthropology." Wang Lan looked down at Niu Dong.

Niu Dong laughed twice: "I just said a few words."

He hasn't pointed out his talent in forensic anthropology yet. Wang Lan will ask him to play together later, and he will be embarrassed.

The other two young forensic doctors have nothing to argue about. They only know so much about anthropology.

These days, there are not enough forensic doctors, and there are too many corpses, but there are always not enough corpses for teaching. Relying on schools and training alone, it is basically impossible to become an anthropological forensic doctor. You can only watch and practice more at work.

For example, now, just watch more.

Seeing that Wang Lan began to support him, Jiang Yuan retired from the position of cooking meat and returned to the dissection table to study bones.

Corpse No. 3 is a male, in his thirties, 1.75 meters tall.

The corpse No. 4 is a woman, aged in her forties, and 1.65 meters tall.

In summary, the forensic doctors of the task force found two men and two women in the first wave of four corpses, with medium height, medium tooth wear, and ordinary living habits.

The so-called ordinary people are the type that forensic doctors dislike the most.

Especially in forensic anthropology, the most desired thing is to find special people in special groups, so that the identity of the deceased can be determined through simple bone fragments.

The specialness required here is just different from the conventional specialness, but it does not require real specialness.

Just like the corpse No. 1, if she is 20 years old, has given birth to children, and is 170 cm tall, then it is estimated that it is easy to find the corresponding one by running the hospital system.

Or a woman aged 45 or above, if she has never given birth to children and is also 170 cm tall, it is estimated that there will be gains if she visits and investigates again.

Jiang Yuan looked at the bones over and over again, looking quite aimless.

Wang Lan did not say anything, and just worked hard to cook the body parts.

This job was the most tiring and dirty. As the person in charge, she felt uncomfortable no matter what reason she had to escape.

On the other hand, when Jiang Yuan and she were fighting over bones, they had already demonstrated their ability in anthropology far beyond hers, and Wang Lan felt that there was no need to interfere with Jiang Yuan.

The dissection room gradually became quiet again.

Everyone was working very tired.

At this time, Jiang Yuan had been bending over the body No. 3 for twenty or thirty minutes before he said, "This body is quite special."

"What do you mean?" Wang Lan rushed over immediately as if she was wound up.

"He has traces of being chopped by an axe here." Jiang Yuan pointed to the ribs on the back of his chest.

Wang Lan was stunned and asked, "Is that the cause of death?"

It is important to find the source of the body, but it would also be great if the cause of death could be found.

Jiang Yuan said, "No, his ribs were all chopped off with something like an axe. But the leg bones and the like were cut with a cutter."

"An axe and a saw?"

"Yes."

"That's an idea. Did the axe not work anymore, so they used a cutter?" Wang Lan walked over to see, and sure enough, he saw the axe's iconic wedge-shaped cut, and his eyes lit up. This situation often means that this body is a link between the past and the future.

Jiang Yuan shook his head and said, "The use of the cutter is not much different from the other bodies. The axe was used more skillfully. There is no learning curve."

This is actually the part about the tool traces of the trace inspection. Jiang Yuan doesn't know much, so he can only give a rough idea.

What's more attractive is actually the issue of proficiency.

If there is no growth in the learning curve, it means that the murderer is either an insider, or he has practiced with corpses before.

But this kind of speculation that makes people excited cannot be said casually. Anyway, the reservoir is still being searched, so let's wait for the results.

Wang Lan also understood what he meant and frowned: "This guy has quite a complete set of tools."

"You also need a large site." Jiang Yuan said.

That being said, these things are still a long way from identifying the murderer. Qinghe City is mostly small factories, such as the industrial parks planned in the early years. The high-tech large factories that the government wanted did not come, and finally they were rented to small local processing plants.

In addition, towns and villages also have their own small workshops, such as oil presses and honey bottling factories. How they died 20 years ago, they have been resurrected in recent years.

They are about to die, but it does not prevent people from committing suicide in there.

"More specifics." Jiang Yuan brought the topic back.

"You say." Wang Lan nodded.

Jiang Yuan said one by one:

"No. 1 has had his teeth done, porcelain teeth, so we can look for it from this aspect."

"No. 2 has a fractured humerus in his right hand, and he must go to the hospital for treatment."

"No. 3, judging from his lumbar spine and leg bones, he may have been engaged in heavy physical labor."

"No. 4. He wears high heels all year round and has had his teeth corrected."

Jiang Yuan tried his best to give each corpse a direction for investigation.

Wang Lan was relieved immediately. With so many things, he could always find the source of the corpse. Maybe finding a corpse would find the murderer.
