Chapter 839 Follow Your Feelings
"The deceased was killed by a blunt instrument. The murder weapon was not found, right? Is there anything missing from the clinic?"
Jiang Yuan flipped through the photos one by one. First I looked at the photos of the deceased’s body in the file, and then I looked at the photos of the scene where the body was found. However, because it was the document that Yu Wenshu brought with him, the content was not complete and a lot of content was missing. Jiang Yuan had no clue for a while.
Judging from the injuries on the head of the deceased alone, the murder weapon should be a heavier cylindrical object, similar to an infusion bottle or a beer bottle. This is also reflected in the forensic report of the Changyang City Criminal Police Detachment, but because there were no debris at the scene, The murder weapon was not found, and it is still unclear what the murder weapon was.
Yu Wenshu also understood what Jiang Yuan meant, shook his head, and said: "The clinic has been checked, but the deceased ran the clinic independently. He did all the doctoring, medicine and hanging bottles by himself. What is the inventory and what items are there? Not sure yet.”
"It's not confirmed at the first scene, right?" Jiang Yuan asked again.
Yu Wenshu coughed twice, nodded, and said: "The clinic is in the village. It is relatively large, with two floors facing the road, and two yards at the front and back. In addition to the villagers in the village, there are also people from nearby factories. Employees come to see doctors and buy medicines, and the staff is also quite mixed..."
Yu Wenshu said this, still a little embarrassed.
In three days, the progress of the case could be said to be stagnant. The most important factor in a corpse dumping case is supposed to be determining the source of the corpse. However, after the task force completed the work, there was no progress, which made Yu Wenshu anxious.
The golden moment of the current case is so short, and now it has been basically squandered. Even if Jiang Yuan doesn't come back this time, Yu Wenshu will ask someone to bring the file to him for consultation.
Of course, it would be best if Jiang Yuan himself was present.
Jiang Yuan looked at the photos in the file and pondered.
In fact, there is nothing wrong with the idea of the task force. It is common for the murder weapon to be found in corpse dumping cases. Many murderers will discard the corpse and the murder weapon separately. They may be relatively close to each other, but the murderer only needs to walk back for five minutes. The distance will increase the search workload greatly, not to mention that there are water bodies of different depths nearby.
In a normal corpse dumping case, if no direct evidence such as DNA or fingerprints can be found at the scene, it is the most normal approach to find possible suspects through interpersonal relationships after determining the source of the corpse.
Because usually only the murderer who knows the victim will choose to dump the body.
"In terms of interpersonal relationships, it's okay to check." Jiang Yuan thought for a while and said, "For the rest, let's go back and look at the corpse."
"Well, I hope I can gain something." Yu Wenshu is also a very experienced criminal police detachment leader. According to his experience, the deceased's interpersonal relationships can be found throughout the village. He wants to find the suspect through interpersonal relationships. Come on, it's just luck.
(Part of the distribution of interpersonal relationships in cases that resulted in the death of the victim in 240 indictments in a coastal city)
"Call Liu to work on the case together." Jiang Yuan didn't like this kind of guessing case. If he wanted to find clues from every detail, let Liu Jinghui do it.
Yu Wenshu was naturally very happy and took the initiative: "I'll talk to the provincial department and ask Liu Chu to come over for support."
Coster arrived at the criminal police detachment smoothly.
Everyone welcomes him.
After the ceremony, Jiang Yuan went straight to the conference room and read the files related to the case.
The police officers also took boxes of evidence and handed them to Jiang Yuan for inspection.
Ordinary experts would not be treated like this if they came here. There is a lot of evidence involved in the murder case, especially the evidence in the investigation stage. Many of them may not be used later. However, when they are all pulled out at this stage, they fill the entire conference room.
Jiang Yuan looked at each item one after another, and at the same time reminded the forensic doctor to thaw the corpse.
The corpse has been dissected and will naturally be stuffed into an ice coffin and frozen for preservation. Now that Jiang Yuan is here and wants to re-examine, he can only take it out of the ice coffin and thaw it before looking at it. Otherwise, there might still be ice particles hanging on the hard body, making it difficult to perform a physical examination.
The next day.
Liu Jinghui took the bus at 7:30 in the morning and arrived at the criminal police detachment at 8:40. After saying hello to the police officers on duty, he was immersed in piles of documents.
For reasoning players, in order to take over a case, they not only need to understand the overall situation of the case, but also need to understand the details of the case. This is a very time-consuming and labor-intensive process.
Fortunately, Liu Jinghui still likes it. It's better than staying at home and making breakfast for your wife.
Jiang Yuan slept in his small house. After waking up, he had breakfast in a familiar shop downstairs, and then took the Alpha that had been reserved in advance to the Criminal Science and Technology Center.
Wan Baoming, the director of the Criminal Investigation Center, was also an old acquaintance. When he saw Jiang Yuan, he pretended to be relieved: "Jiang Yuan, it would be nice if you came. The body is almost thawed. I also asked someone to prepare hot pot. Let’s have hot pot together for lunch.”
The first autopsy usually takes more than three hours. If it is done carefully, it will take a lot of time in the follow-up. The time for the second autopsy can be long or short, but including the time to change clothes and take a shower, it's not even an hour before and after. Then look at the specimens and other things, and go to the autopsy room. The corpse must open up. The forensic doctor also had to donate a morning.
In addition, anyone who has done an autopsy knows that this job is quite physically demanding, so having a hot pot meal after the autopsy is definitely very happy.
Jiang Yuan smiled and nodded, saying: "If we can finish looking at the body, we will have hot pot for lunch. The forensic doctor in charge this time is..."
"I did the first autopsy." The speaker was forensic doctor Tang Feng. He and Jiang Yuan have worked together several times and have eaten hot pot together in the autopsy room, but Tang Feng still felt a little guilty when facing Jiang Yuan.
There are still many uncontrollable factors in forensic examinations. The so-called laws and science, when facing the complex human body, often require subjective judgment to intervene in order to obtain a definite result.
At this time, the level of different forensic doctors is very obvious.
As an adult, especially a senior adult technician in his thirties, Tang Feng also tried to learn from Jiang Yuan, but like many of his colleagues, this only made him more difficult to resist when he saw Jiang Yuan again.
Jiang Yuan smiled and nodded to Tang Feng, asked a few questions casually, and several people walked into the elevator together.
Wan Baoming and others sent Jiang Yuan all the way to the autopsy room and turned around to leave. Most people are not willing to take two showers for each visit.
Autopsy room.
The body has not completely softened, it is just in a state that can be cut, but not too soft. The state of the body at this time is similar to the state of cutting thin slices of meat at home. The knife feels a little astringent when sliding in, which is much easier to cut than when it is completely thawed.
Of course, the body is kept in this state for another consideration.
Because the surface marks of the body in a frozen state will be clearer. For forensic doctors, freezing the body will make the damage on the surface of the body more obvious.
If there are not obvious surface indentations, they can be more easily revealed at this time. However, this degree of exposure is more suitable for forensic doctors below LV3, or to improve the efficiency of high-level forensic doctors, and it cannot solve the problem from 0 to 1.
For example, the first negative autopsy case that Jiang Yuan did when he went to Malaysia this time was also a corpse observed in a frozen state. The surface marks of the body were not revealed at that time.
However, the marks of the body after freezing are clearer, which is naturally more convenient for tools to identify injuries.
Especially identifying the shape of the striking surface, the angle of the object's impact, etc., are all helpful.
Tang Feng took the opportunity to measure the length of the victim's wound again, so as not to appear to be too idle.
Jiang Yuan looked at the body and fell into deep thought.
"Do you want to do a second autopsy?" Seeing him like this, Tang Feng felt guilty again.
"Then do it." Jiang Yuan's answer was reasonable and unexpected.
A second autopsy often means that there is a problem with the first autopsy.
Tang Feng couldn't help asking: "Did you see anything?"
"It doesn't feel right, let's open it and see." Jiang Yuan has reached his current status, so there is no need to elaborate on any indicators and data, just talking about the feeling is enough.
