Police Chen Shu

The central air conditioner in the forensic room made a loud puffing sound. In fact, the heat it sent out was very little, but it still pretended to work hard, much like Ma Rongcheng's son doing homework at home when he was a child - on the surface I'm so busy that I can't actually say enough.

If it weren't for his son's poor grades, Ma Rongcheng would have given up on going to the police academy a few years ago. Now, just imagining the scene of father and son wearing police uniforms and working together to handle cases, he couldn't help but get a little excited.

Ma Rongcheng looked at Chen Shu unconsciously.

Chen Shu, who is already the captain of the brigade at a young age, although he is still traveling during his annual vacation, he still stays in the Public Security Bureau, staring at the operating table with burning eyes, and his whole body is full of energy.

The young man He Ma Rongcheng was somewhat nostalgic for the same situation twenty years ago. During the brainstorming in the conference room just now, he really came into contact with the strong fighting spirit and outstanding abilities of this young foreign detective.

This made Ma Rongcheng, who just wanted to be transferred to the provincial department and prepare to lie down, couldn't help but feel a little bit of interest in his heart, and his unexpectedly awakened motivation.

Ma Rongcheng couldn't help but sigh with emotion, thinking that he had such a light when he was young, but at that time, he was still struggling to find his own shadow in "Police Story".

It's simple, but which police officer didn't come through this way?

This made Ma Rongcheng, who originally planned to enjoy his past years in the provincial department, couldn't help but stir up ripples in his heart, as if the enthusiasm of young people had ignited an older version of the "small universe".

When you get older, you should be a teacher and help others. Ma Rongcheng, who was not convinced by his old age, secretly wanted to teach.

Pfft.

After changing their clothes, Jiang Hai and Huang Mao took the initiative to take on the task of helping others. They carried the body bag to the operating table, opened the bag with a clatter, and took out the female corpse inside.

Suddenly, a smell of moldy wine mixed with sourness rushed out from inside. Fortunately, everyone had put on masks, so the impact was a little bit, not particularly serious.

Old Tang first observed the nails of the deceased, but they were obviously clean. Then he took off the clothes of the deceased, cleaned the surface a little with a brush, and then began to look through the body carefully.

After focusing on the dark purple flakes on the legs and lower abdomen of the corpse, Old Tang glanced at the clock hanging on the wall and concluded: "The time of death should be eight to fourteen hours ago, that is, at night." He died between eight o'clock and two o'clock in the morning. There are body spots, so he probably didn't hang himself in disguise after death."

"It can be seen on the surveillance that people entered the room at eleven o'clock. Shouldn't it be more accurate to the four hours from eleven o'clock to two o'clock?" Jiang Hai added.

"That's your investigation, don't get involved with us." Old Tang was slightly angry.

Old Tang was the only forensic doctor present, so he didn't explain too much about the time of death. He just moved out the iron box where the scalpels were placed step by step, and took out the shiny knives inside for disinfection one by one.

Chen Shu put his hand on Jiang Hai's shoulder and whispered: "Are you sure that the person on the surveillance video is the deceased himself?"

Jiang Hai turned around and said without hesitation: "It must be. You can see his face clearly, right? His clothes are similar."

Chen Shu nodded and agreed: "You are right, but you cannot deny the forensic conclusion because of this. We investigators must be inclusive and take all situations into consideration. Remember, don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of ten thousand." one."

Jiang Hai nodded vaguely, as if he understood.

Thinking of the couple who had already arbitrarily determined that their daughter committed suicide in the hotel, Chen Shu pulled Huang Mao, the policeman in charge of the case, to the side and whispered: "You don't need the signature of the family members for the autopsy? Have all the procedures been completed? According to As far as I know, the parents of the deceased have determined that their daughter committed suicide, so they probably won’t give our police an autopsy.”

The couple had already received tens of thousands of yuan in compensation from the hotel general manager, and it was not easy for them to pay it back.

Huang Mao was stunned for a moment, then giggled a few times: "Brother, to be honest, I don't know this procedure either. How about asking Dr. Tang?"

Old Tang, who heard the conversation between the two, lowered his head and tinkered with the equipment while replying: "I contacted his family earlier, from my hometown in Ontario. They raised the issue themselves, saying that they insisted on an autopsy and did not believe that their daughter committed suicide. .”

According to regulations, an autopsy of a normal death requires the consent of the family of the person being dissected. When the police determine that the death is abnormal, they only need to notify the family, and the dissection does not require the consent of the family.

After their daughter died, the first thing the two guys did when they arrived at the hotel was to demand compensation from the hotel on the grounds that "the design of the bathroom door frame was unreasonable, leading to the chance of suicide." Chen Shu couldn't help but think about the other party's "firm demand" from the worst angle. Anatomy" purpose.

These days, as long as someone dies suddenly outside, the family members will most likely suspect homicide. Anyway, the fault is definitely not on the family members. Secondly, it doesn’t cost the police money to handle the case, or in other words, they can get more compensation if they find something, so they basically support the police’s autopsy work.

It is indeed cruel to tell the truth, but this is the status quo.

Unlike in the early years, although the smell of superstition is stronger, people are still reluctant to bear the pain of being stabbed several times after the death of their family members. They feel that it is a sin to get under the body with a hole in the body, so even if the suspicion is heavy, they are not willing to let the police take the body. He was dissected.

Thinking of the good girl described by the hotel general manager, Chen Shu couldn't bear it and asked: "Forensic Doctor Tang, can you determine the cause of the girl's death?"

Old Tang took out a steel ruler from his pocket and attached it to the strangulation marks on the corpse's neck. He glanced at the data up and down and said, "The width is consistent with the rolled up lanyard."

The situation here is the same as when a body is found in a river, there are two aspects involved before determining the cause of death. First, the victim died before entering the water (death before hanging); second, the victim died after entering the water (death by hanging).

The suspect's purpose was to create the illusion of committing suicide by jumping into the river (hanging himself).

Old Tang then turned the body over, examined it again, and said, "There are no external injuries on the body, which means there was no resistance when he died. Well, there are signs of drunkenness."

Glancing at the feet of the corpse, Old Tang quickly said: "Toes pointing to the ground, well, there is a high possibility of hanging."

After saying that, Old Tang picked up the scalpel and prepared to disembowel him.

Chen Shu couldn't bear it. It didn't matter whether he was superstitious or pitiful. Anyway, he raised his hand and put it on the forensic doctor's arm, stopping him and saying:

"Forensic Doctor Tang, why don't you wait any longer."

"What are you waiting for? My parents have agreed to the autopsy, and you still..." Old Tang was a little confused.

Chen Shu explained: "Because I suspected it was a suicide case, I didn't do the investigation at the scene very carefully. I didn't expect the horse expert from the provincial department to come over. Well, I meant to ask the horse expert to go to the scene for review. After an investigation, we will continue to follow up on the surveillance investigation and social relations investigation. There is still a lot to do, and we are not in a hurry to take action immediately."

Seeing that the other party was tending to be persuaded by him, Chen Shu concluded: "After all, if a person is disemboweled after death and suffers such a crime, he will not be able to survive. Well, I heard that she is a pretty good girl. She fell into this This situation is quite pitiful.”

Old Tang smiled, pointed the scalpel at Chen Shu, and preached: "You, an upright people's policeman, still care about this? Our ability to restore her innocence is the most important thing at the moment. I believe it is also what she needs most. Matter. Do you want to find someone else to investigate? Young man, sometimes the body of the dead is more reliable than the words of the living! "

Chen Shu shook his head and said sincerely: "Forensic Doctor Tang, you are right, but this girl is a bit pitiful."

Old Tang shrugged, took a step back and said, "How about taking a look at the hyoid bone first? This won't have much impact."

Chen Shu made a gesture of invitation.

Having said this, Chen Shu was actually a little puzzled. According to the forensic doctors he was used to seeing in Dongzhou City, they would not do an autopsy if they could do it. I really haven’t seen many people who want to take action.

Ah, no, it seems that there is such a person here, Zhu Li, Dr. Zhu.

The fruit of the autopsy is indeed very deep.

Seeing that the two of them had their own opinions, Ma Rongcheng expressed his position with the idea of ​​​​making peace: "Old Tang, please check your body again, and take a rest after you are done. Anyway, we are an old man, and we don't have much else. We just have a lot of time. I asked them to take me to the site to see it.”

Old Tang laughed and gently placed the scalpel on the iron plate beside him: "Officer Chen, I didn't expect you, an old criminal investigator, to be so superstitious. Okay, then let's leave the time to our horse expert."

Chen Shu felt bad because the expert had to go on a trip, so he took the lead and picked up the heavy survey box that Ma Rongcheng brought over, thinking that it would make it easier for the other party. After all, he was a Jingui technician.

When everyone took off their white coats one by one and hung them by the door waiting to go out, Chen Shu turned his head and found that Ma Rongcheng was lowering his head and carefully observing the marks on the neck of the deceased, so close that his nose was almost touching.

Looking at this situation, I must have discovered something!
