Volume 7 The Phantom of the River City Chapter 2 The First Corpse
"You're welcome, I accept your kind words. Officer Fenghuang, please come this way." Li Zhitao saw Yao Guang running away and patted her gently. Then he led them to the office of the criminal police team, and then they exchanged greetings again.
"Officer Fenghuang, let me give you an overview of the case. The body parts were found on the tourist seats of a small People's Square in Dongcheng District, Jiangcheng. The bodies were packed in vacuum bags and then neatly placed on the
In a large kraft paper box, the deceased's clothes were also packed in vacuum bags and placed on the bottom layer of the box, followed by the body's torso, legs, feet, and the corpse's internal organs on top. Each part was wrapped in a transparent vacuum bag.
Packed separately, there was no ID or other belongings of the deceased in the cardboard box. It was a sanitation worker in the square who discovered the body. At about 7 a.m., the sanitation worker thought it was a tourist's lost item, so he opened the cardboard box to check.
, I was so scared that I lost my soul when I found out it was a dead body, and then I called the police, because there are many people exercising or walking in the small square every day, and the footprints on the scene were chaotic, and no useful footprints were extracted. When I found the cardboard box, there were many
Citizens came to watch, and the scene was severely damaged. We found no fingerprints on the chairs where the cardboard boxes were placed, no fingerprints or blood stains on the cardboard boxes and vacuum packaging bags, and no fingerprints were found on the bodies. Put it this way,
The body was treated very clean. The clothes of the deceased were washed and soaked in disinfectant water before being packed. The disinfectant water is a disinfectant easily available on the street. There is no direction for investigation. Place this box.
The seats are on the periphery of the square, and there are trees behind the chairs. The cameras in the square cannot capture this position. The chairs are on the sidewalk outside the square. The opposite side is not the main road, and the cameras installed on the street cannot capture them.
This location." Captain Li said, pointing to the photo on the whiteboard.
"Wait a minute, no fingerprints were found on the chair where the cardboard box was placed? This is a bit interesting. There is not a single fingerprint on a public seat. Is this reasonable?" Yao Guang asked, pointing to the seat in the photo.
"This is impossible, sister. There are many people staying on public seats every day. If this happens, unless the seat has been wiped," Huo Mingkun said.
"You are right, this seat has indeed been wiped and wiped very clean. Generally, sanitation workers will only wipe the seat area and back area of the seat, but this seat has even been wiped with the legs.
Yes, this kind of chair is made of an iron frame and is fixed with wooden strips. This kind of chair is very common in public areas. Even the gaps between the wooden strips of this chair have been cleaned," Captain Li said.
"This murderer is unusual. He dumps his body and still cares about hygiene." Jiang Yun said.
"It shows that the murderer had severe obsessive-compulsive disorder and was obsessed with cleanliness. This can be determined from how quickly he treated the corpse and cleaned up the scene where the body was dumped." Xuan Chen said.
"The murderer should have a high level of education, and be a person with strong self-discipline, demanding perfection no matter what he does." Chu Tianyou said.
"Captain Li, let's take a look at the corpse." Yao Guang said.
"Okay." Captain Li led everyone to the forensic room. "This is forensic doctor Xiangxiang."
"Hello, let me briefly talk about the autopsy report. The deceased was a female. From the skin surface elasticity and pubic symphysis, it is inferred that the deceased was about 30 years old. Based on the existing torso of the deceased, it is estimated that the deceased was 160 cm tall and weighed about 50 kg.
, the corpse of the deceased had been carefully processed, and the time of death of the deceased could not be accurately determined. Judging from the softness of the muscle tissue, the time of death was probably more than 48 hours. Because the corpse had been embalmed and preserved in a vacuum, there was no trace of the corpse.
There were signs of decay. The deceased's internal organs had been carefully processed and no liquid or other tissue could be extracted. Toxicology tests on the deceased's bones and muscle tissue did not reveal any toxin residues. The existing torso of the deceased did not contain any traces of toxins.
Traumatic injuries. Because the head and arms of the deceased were partially missing, the cause of death could not be determined. The cross-section of the corpse was neatly cut. The soft tissue was first cut with a sharp knife and then the joints were dismembered. The chest of the deceased was cut in a Y-shape, and then
A tool similar to a large surgical forceps was used to open the chest cavity, and the internal organs were removed in order. The incision was smooth. Time showed that the deceased's virgin body was an old closed wound. There was no mechanical contusion in the internal body, and no liquid residue was detected, indicating that
The deceased was not sexually assaulted or humiliated. The deceased's DNA was not found in the DNA database. This is the current autopsy result." Xiangxiang handed the autopsy report to Yaoguang.
"Thank you for your hard work, can you show me the body and internal organs of the deceased, as well as the packaging bag and paper shell containing the body?" Yao Guang asked.
"Of course." Xiangxiang took out the corpses from the freezer and laid them flat on the operating table in order.
Yao Guang looked at it carefully, and it was indeed as Xiang Xiang said, the incision was very smooth, and the chest was cleaned very clean with no internal organs or blood left. "The cut section of this limb was left by a scalpel or scalpel. The one on the street
The knife is not so sharp. Only scalpels and scalpels can cut such smooth wounds. Her neck was cut with a medical professional cutter. Although the neck is soft, it is the most difficult to cut because of the presence of the cervical vertebrae.
, and the person who can make the cut surface of this deceased person so smooth is really a master, huh?" Yao Guang paused, "Turn her torso over."
Huo Mingkun stepped forward and turned the torso over with Tianyou.
"The appearance of this corpse spot is so strange, irregular and round." Yao Guang looked closely at the deceased's neck. Only half of the deceased's neck remained on the torso. Yao Guang found that there was half a circle at the break of the neck.
It was compressed, and the side and back of the neck were gone. The cross-section of the body showed that there was no physiological response, but the compressed injury had a physiological response. "She died of mechanical asphyxiation. She was strangled. After death,
Dismember and dismember the corpse.”
"How do you know?" Xiangxiang asked in surprise.
"Look at her neck, there is a compression injury close to the incision, and it can be seen that there is a physiological reaction, which was caused when she was alive, but there is no physiological reaction in other sections. This compression injury is continuous from the front of the neck
Backward, it disappears at the back and side of the neck. Also, there are irregular circular spots on the back. I speculate that the murderer put his knee on the deceased's back and then strangled her from behind.
The neck of the deceased was strangled to death. Judging from the compression injuries on the neck, it was a very thin plastic rope. The rope had a smooth surface and was similar to a wire. There were no scratches on the neck of the deceased, indicating that she was strangled during the process.
There were no restraint wounds on the deceased's ankles and legs, which means that the murderer used something to cushion her body when restraining him, and then tied her up. The position of the corpse spots on the back is so high, indicating that the deceased was on the ground.
While she was lying down, the murderer lifted her up from behind, put his knees on her, strangled her with a rope, and then dismembered her body. The reason why he chose to cut at this location on the neck was to hide the strangulation mark.
This corpse smells of formalin, which was used by the murderer to embalm the corpse." After Yao Guang finished speaking, he went to check the internal organs again. He did not notice the surprised expressions of Captain Li and Xiang Xiang behind him at all, so meticulous.
You can see it everywhere. They looked at Yao Guang, and then looked at Xuan Chen and others in surprise.
Great God.
Yao Guang carefully looked at the very clean internal organs. All the blood stains on the internal organs were cleaned. Even the stomach and intestines were cut open and cleaned. The most ruthless thing was the heart, which was suppressed and cleaned. This is
What kind of behavior, washing clothes?! Yao Guang felt depressed looking at the internal organs. Huh? Yao Guang was stunned for a moment: "The deceased had serious stomach problems. You see there were many ulcers on her stomach, which means
She suffers from gastric ulcer all year round. Generally, there are several possibilities for the appearance of this kind of old ulcer. First, she has irregular diet all year round. Second, she likes spicy food all year round. Third, she drinks alcohol all year round. In her case, I
It is inferred that it is caused by drinking all year round." Yao Guang said.
"How do you know?" Xiangxiang asked.
"Look at her liver. It has moderate cirrhosis, fatty infiltration, spider nevi, and local cell necrosis in the liver tissue. These are all symptoms of alcoholic liver disease. The comprehensive inference shows that she has been drinking alcohol all year round. Let's do a biopsy on her liver."
After Yao Guang finished speaking, he picked up the heart of the deceased and looked at it seriously: "This murderer is so interesting that he actually cleans the heart cyclically, huh?" Yao Guang looked at the heart, holding it in one hand and making a fist with the other.
, after comparing the two items, he was shocked, turned around and said to everyone: "This is not the heart of the deceased."
"What did you say?" Xuan Chen reacted first, walked over and looked at her,
Yao Guang looked at the crowd and said: "We all know that the human heart is generally a little bigger than a fist. I am 172 centimeters tall and my heart is a little bigger than my fist. So look at this heart." Yao Guang opened his fist.
Everyone was shocked when they got close to the heart. It was obvious that the heart was much larger than Yao Guang's fist. "The height of the deceased was estimated to be around 160cm, so how big was her heart? It was as big as mine, but
This heart is so much bigger. If the deceased had heart disease or myocardial hypertrophy, the possibility of heart enlargement cannot be ruled out. If you look at this heart, the surface wall is smooth, the blood vessels are clear, and the shape is normal. It looks like it is sick.
What does it look like? I speculate that this is a man's heart. A woman has such a big heart unless she is an athlete. But look at the corpse in front of you. The knee joint is intact, there is no mechanical contusion or strain, the shape is intact, and the toes and
There are calluses on the heels, which are worn out by wearing high heels all year round. Have you ever seen athletes who wear high heels all year round? Xiangxiang, do a DNA comparison between the heart and the corpse, as well as other internal organs. I dare say this case has more than one
One victim, at least two." Yao Guang put down his heart, took off his gloves, washed his hands and left the forensic room, sat on the sofa of the criminal police team and rubbed the bridge of his nose: "Can I have a cigarette?"
"As you wish." Captain Li brought him a paper cup to use as an ashtray.
"Captain Li, don't be so polite. We are all colleagues, and we will be brothers from now on." Yao Guang took the paper cup and asked: "The source of the body has not been determined yet. Has anyone been reported missing recently, or has there been any other reports?"
"Currently, the source of the body has not been determined, and no reports have been received. We have checked the missing person report, and there is no information consistent with the deceased, and we have not received any other reports about missing persons or homicides," said Team Li.
"Ah, this is really troublesome. In other words, the owner of the heart has not been discovered yet. Why?" Yao Guang muttered, taking a puff of cigarette.
"Either the body hasn't been discovered yet, or the murderer hasn't dumped the body yet," Xuan Chen said.
"You are right. The murderer is calm and calm. His crime process is methodical. He handles the body carefully and with a sense of ritual. The murderer has extremely high cultural quality and high self-discipline. Judging from the way he committed the crime,
, after professional training, he has a very good understanding of the human body structure, and he is not excluded from being a doctor or forensic doctor." Yao Guang said.
"I can understand the doctor, but how do you determine that it's a forensic doctor?" Tianyou asked.
"For example, if he is a pig butcher, can he dispose of the corpse so cleanly? Do you think scalpels, scalpels, medical cutting instruments, cardiac circulators, etc. are easily available on the street, as well as formalin?
It's not something for daily use. Besides, the pig butcher must be very clear about the body structure of pigs, but is the body structure of humans the same as that of pigs? Can you please respect other people's professions?!" Yao Guang leaned on
On the sofa: "The source of the corpse cannot be determined, which is a bit troublesome. Let's sort out the information about the deceased first."
Yao Guang stood up and walked to the whiteboard and picked up a pen: "The deceased was a female, about 30 years old, about 160 centimeters tall, weighing about 50 kilograms, with smooth skin, old gastric ulcers, and moderate liver cirrhosis. It is speculated that the deceased was a common drinker.
As a result, there is no information about the deceased in the DNA database, and there is no information consistent with the deceased in the missing person report. What does this mean?" Yao Guang looked at everyone.
"A woman drinks alcohol all year round. If she is not a person who usually likes drinking, it is her job requirement. Until now, no one cares about this person's disappearance, which means that she has no relatives or friends in Jiangcheng City. She lives independently.
and life conditions." Captain Li said.
"You are right, then, what kind of women would have this kind of situation?" Yao Guang asked again.
"Female executives, female secretaries, and bar or KTV waiters who drink all year round are unlikely to be female executives, because wouldn't people in the company know about the disappearance of their bosses? Neither would female secretaries. Will the boss know about the disappearance of a female secretary?
You know, then only bar or ktv waiters are left." Xuan Chen said.
"But it can be seen from the deceased's skin that she was well-maintained and her internal body was not loose. Isn't this different from the waiter at the bar KTV?" Tianyou said.
"This is very troublesome. It is very difficult to investigate. Are we going to search all the bar KTVs, female company executives, and female secretaries in Jiangcheng City? How about searching for all the female gays in their 30s in Jiangcheng City?
What's the difference?" Huo Mingkun said, looking at the whiteboard.
"Then let's try to analyze the murderer's body dumping. The sanitation workers found the cardboard box at 7 o'clock in the morning. This means that the murderer dumped the body at night. How did he transport such a big box? Or he lived at the scene where the body was dumped.
Not far away, but if so, the weight of this box is too heavy for him to carry alone, so he either has helpers or transportation, but analyzing the murderer's mind, it is difficult for such a person to have helpers,
Because just like Master said, he is not killing people but making a work of art. With such a personality, he will not pretend to do anything to others, but will definitely do it himself. In summary, he has transportation, and from the tools he has used to commit crimes
It seems that he has a certain financial strength, so the vehicle for dumping the body is most likely a car. So, if you want to put such a heavy box on a public seat close to the road, the most labor-saving way is to park the car in front of you.
, I just looked at that cardboard box, it is a very common kraft cardboard box, the load-bearing capacity is not very good, he will not go too far while holding this kind of cardboard box and it is so heavy." Jiang Yun said.
"Are there any clues about the cardboard box and vacuum bag?" Huo Mingkun asked?
"No, the inside is very clean, and this kind of cardboard boxes and vacuum bags are very common on the Internet." Jiang Yun waved his hand.
"The car stopped next to the seat. Jiang Yun, you are a smart boy. I think we should go and see the scene where the body was dumped. Is the scene protected?" Yao Guang asked.
