Lao Wang took the lead and asked the boss to take them to the back kitchen while introducing the situation. Their restaurant was not small and their business was always good, so they had a special cold storage. Although it was not big, it was enough to handle daily stocking.
.
In the past two days, because the temperature was not high, there was not much demand for freezing. Basically, everything was taken out and defrosted the night before, but the cold storage was still kept at a low temperature to ensure the quality of the inventory. Then, there happened to be a temporary delivery from a familiar supplier.
I brought something here, so I took it to the freezer. As soon as I opened the door, I found a person lying in the freezer, already frozen solid.
The person who went in at that time was a small worker in the kitchen. When he saw this scene, he was so frightened that he peed. He rushed out and shouted that someone was dead. Then the boss and others went over and found this scene. They were so frightened that they did not dare to move, so they quickly called the police.
Called the police.
Zhang Xiaoyun said hello, and everyone spread out to collect traces and physical evidence. Lao Wang and the others chatted with the boss to understand the situation.
The first night, when the chef went to get something from the cold storage, he was very sure that there was no one in there - if he had found it at that time, there would be no way he could have said anything and let him leave it now. Moreover, the three chefs went in together.
This can all be proven. The chance of three people lying at the same time is basically zero.
There is an alley behind their back kitchen, which is convenient for dumping sewage and garbage. It can be said to be a place where filth and evil practices are hidden. Few people are willing to go there, but just like this, it is inevitable for some crooked people to make plans. In addition, this is
Hotel, so there have been many gentlemen from Liang Shang patronizing it before.
But let alone stealing something and freezing to death in a freezer, this is the first time. Even if you steal, you are stealing cash. No one would go to all the trouble just to steal some frozen goods. Nowadays, there are more electronic payments, and cash
There are fewer thieves, and there are more frauds, so there are basically no thieves coming here.
Lao Wang carefully asked the boss whether they knew the deceased, whether there were any enemies, and whether it might be an act of revenge. Others also went to question the waiters and chefs in the restaurant respectively.
Zhang Xiaoyun, on the other hand, was preparing to go into the cold storage to examine the body with the forensic doctor, but was stopped by Wang Xudong: "It's so cold inside, what should I do if I freeze my body when I go in?" He couldn't help but put his coat on her body, and then put the cold storage on her.
The thick cotton-padded jacket hanging outside was put on for her, and then she was allowed to come in.
"First of all, let's agree that we can't stay here for more than five minutes." Wang Xudong was actually ready to go into battle. In the environment of the cold storage, he obviously couldn't let Zhang Xiaoyun stay inside to study the site.
Zhang Xiaoyun said angrily: "I'm not that delicate, look what you are doing." In fact, her heart felt sweet. What woman doesn't want her husband to be attentive and considerate to her?
The forensic doctor had already squatted down and began to examine the corpse. Wang Xudong was also watching carefully. This was a male corpse. It was frozen stiff and there was a lot of frost on his face. It had obviously been frozen inside for a while.
.I can’t see my face clearly, but I just feel younger.
Moreover, the corpse was basically naked, and the temperature was still relatively low at this time. Wang Xudong was still wearing a thick coat and sweater to keep warm, and Zhang Xiaoyun was even wearing three layers of scarves and gloves, and he wanted to grab the quilt.
Wrapped up, all that was left on the corpse was a pair of shorts and a bottoming shirt. Not to mention this outfit was in a freezer that was more than ten or twenty degrees below zero, and it was left outside overnight.
It can probably be frozen as hard as salted fish.
Wang Xudong knows that this is actually a normal reaction of people in extremely cold situations. When the body temperature drops to a certain level, consciousness will be blurred, perception will be confused, and the brain will give wrong instructions to the body. Therefore,
It may happen that the body thinks it is hot and instinctively takes off its clothes. And reaching this step is already a sign before death. If it has not been discovered and rescued, it is basically waiting to die.
The reason why he knows this is of course because when he was in the army a long time ago, he encountered an even more extreme environment than that in this cold storage while performing a mission. You must know that this cold storage is only closed and cold, what they experienced at that time
, but even more intense and terrifying than crossing a snow-capped mountain.
Sure enough, the forensic doctor made a judgment while observing: "There were no obvious traumas on the deceased's body, no large-scale blood loss, and no obvious signs of poisoning. However, there were some slight bleeding on the facial features. Moreover, when the clothes were taken off, there were
Judging from the obvious features such as bright red body spots and blisters on the edges of the exposed parts that were in contact with the remaining clothing, it was initially determined that the cause of death should be freezing death caused by exposure to low temperatures for a long time. The specific cause of death has yet to be determined by the autopsy.
specific judgment.”
"Furthermore, the constant low temperature in the cold storage for a long time will greatly interfere with and hinder the changes in the body's death form, so it is currently impossible to determine the accurate time of death. However, considering the freezing situation of the body,
It should have been last night." The forensic doctor made a preliminary judgment.
Zhang Xiaoyun looked at the corpse solemnly. According to the judgment of the forensic doctor, it was basically certain that the corpse was frozen to death. Then the only thing left was to find out why he appeared in this cold storage, and why he was said to have frozen to death here.
in.
"Could it be that he couldn't think about it and wanted to commit suicide, so he chose such a personalized method?" A young policeman muttered. Although such a round did not seem to be respectful to the deceased, the scene did seem to be the deceased's own.
He went into the freezer and froze to death here.
At this time, Wang Xudong made a very bold move. He got close to the body and smelled it again and again very carefully. He even turned around and went out, went back to get clothes and plastic gloves that are common in the kitchen, and put them on carefully so as not to damage the body, and then
He opened the mouth of the corpse and smelled it.
Zhang Xiaoyun was startled by him: "What are you doing?"
Even the forensic doctor was surprised and looked at him in confusion.
Wang Xudong sniffed and stood up, looked around, and then said: "Then this situation is not right."
"What's wrong?" Zhang Xiaoyun and the forensic doctor asked quickly. They all knew very well that although Wang Xudong was not a professional police officer or criminal investigator, his keen observation and intuition were far beyond those of ordinary criminal police officers. Otherwise, Zhang Xiaoyun would have
I won't ask him again and again to help analyze the case.
Wang Xudong pushed Zhang Xiaoyun away and prevented her from touching the body. Then he looked at the forensic doctor and asked, "You did a simple inspection just now and found no signs of alcohol poisoning, including the smell of alcohol, right?"
"Besides, you didn't mention the special medicinal taste, right?" (To be continued)
