"You just mentioned dissection, yes, this is indeed the most direct way." Gu Chen agreed with Zhuang He's opinion.
In my opinion, when body temperature, rigor mortis and cadaveric plaques are no longer helpful in determining the condition, the most direct way is undoubtedly anatomy.
You know, 12 to 24 hours after death, the body will be completely rigor mortis.
It will then completely subside in another 12 to 24 hours.
Therefore, after 60 hours, rigor mortis had first appeared and then eased.
The corpse spots took shape after about 8 hours, so they were not helpful in the determination.
Therefore, Gu Chen believes that the time of death can be estimated based on the stomach contents and the degree of decay of the body.
After all, after death, all body functions stop, including digestion.
It takes two to three hours for the stomach to empty the food after a meal, and it takes about 24 hours for it to completely pass through the body.
Although this range is very general, it is a good estimate.
So the problem to be solved now is to wait for the parents of the deceased Ami to arrive at the scene and sign the consent form.
…
…
The waiting during this period was very time-consuming. Everyone waited from morning to afternoon, and it was not until dinner time that Zou Xiaoli hurried over with her two elders.
When the two saw their daughter's body, they burst into tears.
Then I spent a lot of time in the testing room.
Officer Wang and Lu Weiwei stepped forward to do some ideological work, and they were busy until 7 o'clock in the evening. Only then did the two elders recover from their grief and decided to sign their names on the autopsy book and agree to the forensic doctor's autopsy of their daughter's body to find out the identity of their daughter Ami.
Time of death.
…
…
7:30pm.
After a simple dinner in the lounge, Gao Chuanfeng sat on the sofa and asked his assistant Zhuang He: "I'll do an autopsy later. Do you have any questions?"
"No... no problem." Zhuang He looked a little nervous and stammered when he spoke.
Gao Chuanfeng said contemptuously: "There is a first time for everything, don't be nervous, you can get whatever I ask you to get later."
"Yeah." Although Zhuang He agreed on the surface, he was still a little nervous inside.
Gu Chen directly invited him to fight: "I'll come with you and give you a blow."
Gao Chuanfeng thought for a moment and agreed, "That's okay. You, Gu Chen, have seen many corpses and have experience in this area. We will work together later."
Several people quickly reached an agreement in the lounge.
…
…
The time soon came to 8pm.
At this moment, Gu Chen, Gao Chuanfeng and assistant Zhuang He had put on protective equipment and entered the examination room, preparing to perform an autopsy on A Mei's corpse on the examination table.
Lu Weiwei, Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha asked Zou Xiaoli to arrange for A Mei's parents to stay in a hotel while they waited for the test results.
The three of them stayed in the testing room next door, quietly waiting for the end of the operation.
It was around 9 o'clock in the evening that Lu Weiwei discovered that Gu Chen and Gao Chuanfeng were helping the pale-faced Zhuang He back to the lounge.
As soon as Lu Weiwei looked at Zhuang He's face, she knew that he might have vomited in the examination room.
Lu Weiwei feels this deeply.
When I first saw the tragic state of the corpse, I had a similar experience.
But forensic doctors are different. It's okay if it's a static corpse, but once you have to perform an autopsy on the corpse, the scene you see will definitely be unforgettable for your whole life.
"You said you, kid, didn't see corpse specimens when you were in school, right? How could you vomit so much?" Gao Chuanfeng looked at Zhuang He's miserable image and couldn't bear to look at it.
Zhuang He covered his mouth with his left hand and waved his right hand: "I'm really sorry for embarrassing my senior brother. Ugh."
"Well, there is a first time for everything. The more you experience it, the better it will be." Gao Chuanfeng tried his best to pat Zhuang He on the back, feeling that this guy lacked more than a little experience.
Lu Weiwei quickly asked Gu Chen: "Junior brother Gu, how about you guys testing inside?"
"It's okay." Gu Chen sat on the sofa and took a deep breath and said, "During the autopsy, we found the food that the deceased A Mei had eaten from her stomach."
"What is it?" Officer Wang asked.
"Noodles." Gu Chen said.
"Noodles?" Lu Weiwei's eyes widened and she couldn't help but said: "So, the last thing she ate was noodles, but we didn't find this in her home. There is only one possibility. She was outside.
Have you ever eaten noodles at a noodle shop?”
Gu Chen also nodded slightly and explained: "You know, after death, all body functions will stop, including digestion."
"It takes two to three hours for the stomach to empty the food after a meal, and it takes about 24 hours for it to completely pass through the body."
"Although this range is very general, it is a good way to estimate."
Glancing at Lu Weiwei in front of him, Gu Chen added: "As Senior Sister Lu said just now, if we find food like noodles in the stomach of the deceased A Mei."
"At the very least, it can be explained that Ami died shortly after eating the noodles. This time range is easy to estimate."
"But since we didn't find noodles in Ami's rental house before, we can easily judge that the noodles Ami ate probably came from an outside restaurant."
Officer Wang heard this and nodded slightly: "So, as long as you find the place where Ami last ate, you can determine the approximate time of her death?"
"Yes." Gu Chen took the glass of water handed over by Yuan Shasha, took a sip, and then explained:
"Generally speaking, putrefaction follows a predictable pattern, and based on this, the time of death can be estimated."
"However, the environment surrounding a corpse is rarely normal, so the process almost never proceeds at a normal pace."
"However, based on the situation we are facing now, the environment is known and constant, which helps us make reasonable inferences."
"If we add the judgment of stomach contents, the error range of the time of death can be narrowed to within a few hours."
"Senior Brother Gu, that means that if you find the source of the noodles in the stomach of the corpse, you can know the time when the deceased last ate. Therefore, is it correct to judge the scope of her death?" asked Zhuang He, who was pale from vomiting.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In his opinion, Gu Chen has organized his thoughts very well.
At the very least, from having no clue at the beginning, it is now possible to roughly determine the scope of death.
Although it is not yet known when the death occurred, with the food in the stomach of the deceased as a basis, there seems to be a breakthrough.
But this kind of breakthrough is already a great gift to Gu Chen.
"You can say that." Gu Chen put down the water glass and prepared to get up to get his equipment.
Zhuang He was slightly startled and quickly asked Gu Chen: "Senior Brother Gu, are you still planning to go out so late?"
"We must find that restaurant." After hanging the equipment on his body, Gu Chen said with a faint smile:
"I have just contacted Senior Brother He from the third group. He has found a restaurant based on the characteristics of the deceased A Mei, and this may be the last place A Mei ate. I have to confirm whether what she ate that night was noodles."
"I really admire you." Faced with Gu Chen's judgment, Zhuang He couldn't help but complain: "I didn't expect that the noodles in this stomach could actually make you deduce these?"
"You still have a lot to learn, follow Gao Chuanfeng well." Lu Weiwei patted Zhuang He on the shoulder, feeling that this kid is quite easy to learn.
Everyone took a short rest in the lounge, and the four of them hurriedly left the technical department.
…
…
Gu Chen drove the vehicle and found a restaurant very close to A Mei's rental community according to the address sent by He Junchao.
There were not many people in the restaurant at the moment. Under the warm lighting, there were a few pairs of customers sitting here and there, all having late-night snacks after get off work.
After Gu Chen parked the car, he led everyone inside.
A waitress who was lying on the dining table playing with her mobile phone quickly stood up when she saw four policemen walking into the store and took the initiative to say hello.
"What do you four want to order?" the waitress said.
Gu Chen looked around, then pointed at the cashier and asked the female clerk: "Is the monitoring of your cashier useful?"
"Yes, it's always useful." The female clerk scratched the back of her head, feeling like the police were here to handle a case.
"Can the surveillance let us take a look?"
Sure enough, Gu Chen asked about his inner thoughts.
The female clerk looked at the handsome policeman in front of her and couldn't help but nodded: "Of course... store manager, the police want to see our surveillance..."
1 minute later...
Everyone gathered around the surveillance computer.
What Gu Chen retrieved was the surveillance footage before 7pm on Friday night.
The roadside surveillance information provided by He Junchao showed that Ami left the restaurant at 7 o'clock that night.
According to the surveillance display, Gu Chen also quickly found A Mei.
6:20pm.
Ami came to the restaurant alone and ordered a pasta at the cashier.
After that, I was alone, coming to a corner, playing with my phone and eating pasta.
It was not until 6:58 pm that Ami packed up her things and left the restaurant.
"It's really noodles." Lu Weiwei couldn't help but sigh.
It seems that everyone has found the right restaurant, and this is probably the last place where Ami ate.
Fortunately, what Ami ordered here was pasta. If it were other foods, perhaps everyone's search scope would have to be placed elsewhere.
Gu Chen stood up and said gratefully to the store manager: "Thank you for your cooperation."
"You're welcome, don't you guys want to eat something?" the female store manager asked weakly.
Gu Chen smiled slightly: "There is still a mission, let's do it another day."
"That's okay." Seeing that the police didn't say anything, they just checked the surveillance and left in a hurry.
The store manager couldn't say anything, so he could only follow a few people and watch the four policemen leave.
Back in the car, Gu Chen called He Junchao.
When He Junchao answered the phone, he seemed to be eating instant noodles and asked Gu Chen in a hissing voice: "What's wrong, Gu Chen? Have you investigated?"
"After investigation, what Ami ate at the restaurant that night was indeed pasta, which completely matched the food in her belly."
"That means, is this really Ami's last supper?" He Junchao asked.
Gu Chen smiled lightly and said, "Yes, so since A Mei left this restaurant, have you discovered anything new?"
"Yes, I just wanted to report to you." He Junchao paused for a moment, and then reported to Gu Chen again:
"I investigated what Ami did after leaving the restaurant on Friday night. Ami left the restaurant and went directly back to her rental house. There was no big problem."
"But I discovered that just before Ami returned to the rental house, a strange man entered the community where Ami rented, around 6:30."
"The man left the community at 7:50, and Ami entered the community at 7:25."
Hearing what He Junchao said, Gu Chen thought for a few seconds and then asked: "There are so many people entering A Mei's rental community, how can you tell it is a strange man?"
"It's very simple." He Junchao didn't beat around the bush with Gu Chen, and told him straightforwardly: "Judging from the surveillance at the entrance of A Mei's rental community, this man is acting suspiciously, and his expression is completely different from that of other residents."
"And based on his whereabouts, I checked the people who came in and out of the gate of the community in the past few days. This person has basically never appeared, at least not in a week."
"After that, I checked the people who came in and out of the Amei community in the past two days, and I didn't find this man, so I can conclude that he is a stranger, at least not from this community."
"Very good." Gu Chen expressed satisfaction that He Junchao took the initiative to investigate, which saved him a lot of time.
So Gu Chen asked him again: "Have you found this person's personal information?"
"Well..." Hearing Gu Chen's words, He Junchao suddenly began to hesitate.
Gu Chen knew as soon as he heard that it seemed that the investigation was still under way, so he asked again: "How long will it take to find out?"
"It actually takes some time, but on Thursday, this man had brief contact with a woman. Pushing forward a few days, it was still the same woman. I need to investigate this woman now."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Okay, please send me the image of this woman by the way." Gu Chen said.
With such fragmented information, it is actually not difficult to find the person involved. The difficulty is that it takes time.
He Junchao also readily agreed.
Not long after, Gu Chen received a message from He Junchao on his WeChat text message.
Gu Chen randomly clicked on it and Zou Xiaoli's photo suddenly appeared on the screen of Gu Chen's mobile phone.
"Is it her?" Gu Chen couldn't help but say.
Lu Weiwei and Yuan Shasha also quickly stepped forward.
The two of them looked at each other and frowned slightly at the same time.
Officer Wang was also shocked.
"Why is it Zou Xiaoli? How does that man have anything to do with Zou Xiaoli?"
Everyone couldn't help but be stunned, feeling that the situation seemed not that simple.
Gu Chen lay back on the seat, looked up at himself in the rearview mirror of the car, and couldn't help but sigh: "Is A Mei's death related to Zou Xiaoli? But aren't they best friends?"
"Senior Brother Gu." Seeing Gu Chen's hesitation, Yuan Shasha, who was sitting in the back row, prompted: "Since Zou Xiaoli knows us, will this strange man... also know us?"
After the words fell, Gu Chen seemed to feel that there was some truth.
So he smiled lightly and said: "You guys wait a minute, I will ask Senior Brother He to send over the picture of the strange man."
Tens of seconds later, He Junchao sent the man’s picture.
Everyone gathered around and stared at the screen of Gu Chen's mobile phone.
After a while, everyone was shocked again by the man in the picture.
"No way? Why is it him?" Lu Weiwei couldn't help scratching the back of her head and said in shock: "Isn't this man the same man who dined with Zou Xiaoli in the restaurant that day?"
"I still remember that he was riding a motorcycle." Yuan Shasha also added.
Officer Wang also nodded silently: "It seems that Amei's death really has a lot to do with Zou Xiaoli, and these two people can't clean it up."
"There are problems with men. As for Zhou Xiaoli... maybe she is kept in the dark." Gu Chen tried hard to recall Zou Xiaoli's various reactions at A Mei's house during the day.
If Zou Xiaoli had known about A Mei's death in advance, she would never have called the police so quickly.
And judging from Zou Xiaoli's on-site reaction, it seems that she has a good relationship with A Mei, and the relationship between the two is master and apprentice, so there is no so-called conflict.
If there is no contradiction, there is no motive for killing.
Therefore, Gu Chen felt that it was unlikely that Zou Xiaoli would conspire with others to murder A Mei.
But what about that man? Maybe that’s the source of the problem.
Lu Weiwei seemed to have guessed what Gu Chen meant and asked him quickly: "So Junior Brother Gu, do you believe Zou Xiaoli is innocent?"
"That's right." Gu Chen nodded and said.
"Then if you want to find this man, you have to ask Zou Xiaoli." Officer Wang said.
Gu Chen hesitated for a moment, took out an insurance business card from the car, and dialed the phone number left on the business card.
Not long after, Zou Xiaoli answered the phone: "Hello, who is this?"
In Zou Xiaoli's room, the crying of two elders could still be heard.
Gu Chen could tell they were A Mei's parents, so he said calmly: "I am Gu Chen."
"So it's Officer Gu?" Hearing that it was Gu Chen who called, Zhou Xiaoli suddenly became excited and asked Gu Chen: "Officer Gu, what are the test results?"
"Everything went well." Gu Chen didn't say it clearly, he just mentioned it casually.
Before Zou Xiaoli could ask her second question, Gu Chen asked directly: "By the way, Zou Xiaoli, when we first met in a restaurant, was the man who ate with you your boyfriend?"
"No!" Zou Xiaoli didn't know why Gu Chen suddenly asked this question.
So he quickly asked Gu Chen: "What's wrong, Officer Gu? Why did you suddenly ask about this?"
"I need his cooperation in the investigation. Can you contact him and come to our Furong branch?" Gu Chen spoke concisely and directly explained the reason.
Zou Xiaoli hesitated for a moment and asked Gu Chen weakly: "Officer Gu, you mean...he is suspected?"
Gu Chen said: "For now, we need to conduct an investigation. In addition, I have a question to ask you. What is the relationship between this man and A Mei?"
"Well……"
"Please answer truthfully." Gu Chen continued to remind, hoping that Zou Xiaoli on the other end of the phone could understand.
Zou Xiaoli also tried hard to calm down, and then confessed frankly: "Officer Gu, this man's name is Liao Jun. He met A Mei and I by chance when we were dining at a food stall in the night market."
"But then he kept trying to pursue me, and I was unprepared at the time. I simply told him my work address. I thought he was joking, but I didn't expect that from that day on, he would often come to my company, and he would often come to my company after get off work. Follow me when you are there.”
