Chapter 71 Female Corpse in the Woods

Luo Sifa nodded repeatedly and hurriedly ordered Captain Xiong to send a few constables to investigate the matter and ask separately.

They rode out of the city and headed straight to the woods where the bodies were found.

The scene where the body was found was in the woods next to the official road not far from the city. The woods were relatively dense, and there was no way to see anything inside from the official road.

At this moment, the scene was surrounded by the detectives and Minzhuang. There were already many people watching the fun on the official road and around the woods.

After walking forward for about ten steps, Lu Jinping saw a female corpse lying under a wood, on a lawn. The body was lying on the side, with curly hands and feet, slightly open eyes, dirty face and body, messy hair, and tangled together, obviously not cleaned for a long time.

The corpse was wrapped in a white bandage on the right leg of the calves and two plywoods were sandwiched. The blood was soaked in gauze, and there was a large pool of blood under the calves. There was a scratch about ten feet long behind the blood. It was hard to tell whether he was left by crawling or after being dragged.

Judging from the blood on this large pool of ground, the amount of bleeding is large enough to take away a person's life.

But whether this is the cause of death needs to be proved by dissection. If there are other fatal injuries that cause death, the bleeding may only be the cause of accelerated death. Therefore, the final judgment cannot be drawn before dissection.

Lu Jinping conducted an investigation on the scene and found no other obvious suspicious traces.

Lu Jinping turned around and asked Luo Sifa who was standing not far away: "Did those who found the corpse say that they had moved the corpse?"

Luo Sifa said: "No, they saw that it was a dead body, and they ran to report to the official without moving the body."

Lu Jinping nodded and began to conduct a preliminary examination of the body.

The corpse had scratches on the forearm and palms, and the clothes on both arms had marks of rubbing and compression, and they were blue. Judging from the scratches behind him, it should have been left by the deceased who rubbed them on the grass.

Lu Jinping inspected other parts of his body and found no obvious trauma, so he focused his eyes on his right leg wrapped in a corpse bandage.

He untied the bandage and splint and found a broken wound, with a broken bone poking out of the wound, white and mixed with blood.

The person who treated the wound was very hasty and did not even conduct bone back-orientation. He directly used a splint to make a simple support bandage. Since the wound was located at a larger blood vessel and there was no wound hemostasis treatment, the blood kept flowing out and could not stop it by itself.

The deceased had pale face and no corpse spots appeared in the low body. These confirm that the deceased was likely to die of great blood loss.

Based on the stiffness of the corpse, the turbidity of the pupils, and the corruption of the corpse, the preliminary judgment is that the corpse should die within three days.

Lu Jinping carefully examined the dead's broken leg.

Judging from the damage characteristics of the broken leg, it seems that it was broken after being hit by an external blunt force, rather than a high-fall injury that jumps down from a high place. In this way, trace attachments of the injured object may be left in the wound cavity. If such trace evidence can be found, the next step to confirm the injured object will be of great help.

He observed the fracture of his leg and found that a piece of cortex in his calf had a certain degree of displacement, which seemed to be pulled open by force. What is the reason?

He had previously complained that the doctor who was treating the wound was really perfunctory. He did not perform good bone joints or bandage the wound, especially the bleeding was not performed, so that the deceased died of excessive bleeding. But now, he felt that he should thank the doctor. Because the wound was not debridement, the things inside the wound were not washed away, and it was possible to find useful trace evidence.

Sure enough, he found a small red fragment in the torn and displaced skin layer. He lay on the ground and stared at it for a long time, but he could not confirm what was peeling off from it. However, this fragment definitely did not belong to the human body, nor did it fall off from the splint. At the same time, it was covered by the torn and displaced skin on the inside of her skin, which indicated that it might have fallen off and embedded under the skin at the moment when the injured object hit violently. Therefore, there is a high possibility of it coming from the weapon.

He took out a small paper bag from the forensic survey box, carefully put the small fragment into the bag with tweezers, and put it into the forensic survey box.

He continued to check the wound, and there were no other suspicious items, so he decided to start autopsy.

Lu Jinping turned around and said to Luo Sifa: "I need to dissect the body here to confirm the final cause of death. Will the adults allow it?"

When he heard this, the head bear who was originally standing next to him immediately showed an awkward expression on his face. Dongdong took a step back and said, "I, I'll go outside to prevent anyone from coming to make trouble, hehe." He laughed dryly and ran out of the woods as if he was running away.

Luo Sifa had heard that Captain Xiong and the yamen coroner had told him that he had seen Lu Jinping dissect the body before, so although he did not witness it with his own eyes, he really didn't want to take this risk and was not curious. He quickly laughed and said, "Sir, Governor Feng has already said that you are responsible for the autopsy and assist in the investigation of the case. Therefore, you can decide on the autopsy and do not need to report to me. I, I am waiting outside, and you will call me if you have any problems." He also crawled out of the woods in panic.

Lu Jinping shrugged and then began to unbutton the deceased's dress for physical examination. He found that his judgment just now was basically correct. There were scratches on both palms, forearms and knees on the left leg. In addition, he found that there was a vertical bruise in the left forearm of the deceased. At the same time, a bruise was also found on the inside of the right leg. This should be a blunt injury.

How could similar blunt force injuries occur at the same time in these two places far apart? This made Lu Lu Jinping frown in confusion.

He extracted the vaginal swab of the deceased to test whether the deceased was raped. At the same time, blood samples from various places on the scene and blood samples of the deceased were extracted for corresponding testing and comparison.

Then, he began to perform autopsy. First, the head of the deceased, and then the chest and abdomen were dissected. There was no obvious trauma or obvious lesions. However, the anatomical examination showed that the blood vessels of the deceased were almost all shriveled, which means that most of the blood in the deceased's body had dried up.

It can be seen from this that the deceased died of hemorrhagic shock. The only trauma in the body was the open wound with a fractured right leg.

Lu Jinping lamented that judging from the trauma caused by the fracture of the deceased's calf, it was not serious. An ordinary surgeon could help her stop bleeding and save her life. However, unfortunately, the victim did not receive such care and lost her life due to excessive blood loss.

Lu Jinping asked the coroner to record the results of the autopsy, then walked out of the woods and called Luo Sifa aside and whispered: "The deceased died of excessive bleeding and no other trauma. The deceased died three days ago. First, we must find out the identity of the deceased and her whereabouts three days ago, as well as the people who were in close contact with her. From the scene, except for the blood-stained crawling traces of more than ten feet long, there were no other traces of fighting and murder found on the scene, so I tend to suspect that this is the second scene. We should try our best to find the first scene and get more clues."

Luo Sifa nodded repeatedly, and while Lu Jinping gave the instructions, he told the captain Xiong beside him and immediately organized someone to investigate according to the instructions of Lord Lu.

After hearing Lu Jinping's explanation, Captain Xiong was still confused and said to Lu Jinping embarrassedly: "Tongzhou City is so big, where should we go to investigate? Is it a search from the missing person?"

"Investigating from missing persons is not a way, there is also an easier way, that is, checking from beggars."

"beggar?"

"Well, the dress on the deceased was very dirty. Her hair seemed to have not been cleaned for a long time and was knotted. Her face and hands were dirty. So I suspect she was a beggar or a wanderer who fled the famine. You'd better focus on these people in the city, and you can paint the portrait of the deceased and search among them. In addition, the right leg of the corpse is bandaged and splintted. I guess it should be done in the pharmacy, so you can go to the clinics and pharmacies in the city to check if there are any clues."

Luo Shiye quickly agreed and asked Captain Xiong to make arrangements.
