The wind blew along the boulevard of the funeral home, making a "swishing" sound that lasted all night.
Jiang Yuan and several other forensic doctors still stayed in the autopsy room to cook the bones, but when the wind blew, they looked at each other in silence.
Everyone was a little tired, but there was no time to sleep. At this time, we didn't even have the energy to chat.
What is being cooked now is the fourth corpse, which was just discovered and brought here in the evening.
Moreover, similar to the second and third corpses, the fourth corpse was also carried in a gray travel bag with a red and blue checkered snakeskin bag inside.
Moreover, the gray travel bag and the red and blue checkered snakeskin bag also have traces of heat treatment.
The on-site investigation technicians obtained more evidence and stimulated Xu Taining to withdraw a large number of manpower from the Zifengshan Coal Mine and send them to several towns in the north.
Finding Liu Jinghui is still the first and most urgent task, but in the absence of clues, it has become more feasible and possible to solve the serial murder case and find Liu Jinghui.
Xu Taining didn't care about any comments or sequelae afterwards. He gritted his teeth and dispatched the search team to conduct an investigation.
Jiang Yuan sat next to Corpse No. 3, scrolling through his phone while waiting for the pressure cooker to finish cooking.
Boiling a carcass will make the meat more tender than cooking it at home. In kitchen terms, it must be cooked into completely boneless meat.
However, most of the carcasses that need to be cooked have rotted and deteriorated to a certain extent, and the total cooking time may not be that long. In other words, some parts with too much meat will take extra time.
Jiang Yuan's mobile phone has more than a dozen work groups.
Most of them are related to Zifeng Mountain, and some have just been added to the group.
In the Zifeng Mountain group, teams are gathering everywhere, looking for vehicles, storing items, etc.
With thousands of people traveling to different locations at one go, scheduling and support were very difficult. Even local gas stations ran out of gas.
However, this is what Xu Taining is best at. Although he is not familiar with the personnel under his command, and even the troops are improvised, he arranged them in an orderly manner, and by five or six o'clock in the morning, all the troops were in place.
[It has been eight days since Comrade Liu Jinghui disappeared. There is no more time to delay. Once each team is in place, please start working immediately and be careful and attentive. 】
Xu Taining gave orders to the captains of each team and called everyone in the group.
Jiang Yuan watched absentmindedly. He could imagine that teams were now knocking on doors from door to door, being scolded and explaining at the same time, mixed with scoldings and reports.
In fact, if you just ask the family members of the missing people, the situation will be very different.
But whether they are junior detectives or senior police chiefs, they know very well that the victim's family members may not always tell the truth.
Asking neighbors and taking notes from friends, relatives and colleagues of the missing person can not only obtain more accurate information from the side, but also deter possible perjurers to a certain extent.
"Number 4 is almost ready." The alarm bell of the young forensic doctor guarding the stove rang and he quickly reported.
"Then let's give a summary to No. 3. Do you have any other ideas?" Forensic Doctor Zhai shouted responsibly.
Different from the previous autopsy, Forensic Doctor Zhai required everyone to fully express their opinions. For this reason, he required everyone to write a copy of the final autopsy report.
Corpse Source 1 and Corpse Source 2 have been dealt with, and Corpse Source 3 is in this mode.
Jiang Yuanmo handed over the conclusion of his autopsy without saying a word.
"Corpse source three, 30 years old. Female...height 163cm, cervical spondylosis, lumbar disc herniation, old ankle fractures (should have been treated)...eyelids with buried thread...time of death, three years ago."
Forensic doctor Zhai collected everyone's autopsy conclusions and looked at them one by one.
Seeing Jiang Yuan's part, Forensic Doctor Zhai looked at it for a while longer.
"Everyone's judgment on the time of death is slightly different, and there is also a little difference in age. Others are basically consistent. Of course, there are some differences." Forensic doctor Zhai summarized the main points.
Everyone said nothing and looked at Jiang Yuan silently.
Forensic Doctor Zhai is not only a provincial forensic doctor, but his record in recent years is also quite good. He belongs to the more practical group of forensic doctors.
Among the forensic doctors present, Wang Lan, who is relatively strong, is a weakened version of Forensic Zhai, and Forensic Niu is not very strong either.
We are all grassroots forensic doctors with a normal level. Occasionally they make mistakes, and occasionally they perform beyond their normal capabilities. They work conscientiously most of the time. Whether it is judging the time of death, age, etc., they try to give as broad a conclusion as possible.
——
You can make a basic judgment on whether a forensic doctor is strong or not by looking at the final conclusion he gives.
For the same time of death, Jiang Yuan directly gave the age of 30, while some forensic doctors would give the age of 25-30 in order to avoid mistakes.
Of course, under normal circumstances, Jiang Yuan can also give a conclusion of 28-32 years old. This is because the situation of the corpse is different, but when facing the same corpse, the narrower the range given, the more confident he is obviously.
"Is there a big difference? I'm talking about the time of death and age." Jiang Yuan asked immediately.
"Well, it's not that big. Everyone has different ideas." Forensic doctor Zhai is actually not used to Jiang Yuan's confidence in work.
He is an old man, and he has always been cautious when doing things. If the scope is wider, he will not be narrow.
At his age, everyone was very confident in his daily life and very cautious in his work.
Just the opposite of Jiang Yuan's generation.
However, Jiang Yuan's conclusions are also within the scope of forensic doctor Zhai's own conclusions.
Forensic doctor Zhai's eyes lingered on the time of death for a moment.
He himself gave a time of death of three to five years. He personally prefers four years.
Jiang Yuan gave him three years... and he didn't make many mistakes.
In the end, Forensic Doctor Zhai didn't say anything more. He nodded and said, "Then let's clean up and start working on the fourth corpse."
Toot toot.
The pressure cooker deflated.
Everyone waited silently for the anger to run out, and then began to remove the bones, peel the flesh, and lay out the body.
Jiang Yuan still looked at the bones piece by piece, and quickly came to a conclusion and wrote it down:
Corpse source four, age 32-34 years old. Female...height 160cm, cause of death, mechanical asphyxia...time of death, four years ago.
He determined what he could determine first, and then slowly analyzed the remaining bone fragments.
Other forensic doctors operate in a similar manner.
Anthropology is a hard-working subject. There is only a corpse the size of a person and more than two hundred bones. If you just look at it briefly, you can see it in an afternoon.
But if you want to extract information from it, it will be difficult.
You have to look at it bit by bit.
When Jiang Yuan was working on the corpse dumping case in the Wangguoshan Reservoir, he worked day and night to find the details.
But this case is different. There is actually a lot of information provided by various exhibits. Just like last time, one shop after another was looked at, which is really inefficient.
Comrade Liu Jinghui may not be able to bear it.
Just as Jiang Yuan was thinking, his cell phone beeped.
He took a look with his elbow and saw that it was Huang Qiangmin. Jiang Yuan immediately took off his gloves, rinsed them briefly with water, put on another glove and picked up the phone.
"Captain Huang, is there any news?" Jiang Yuan called back again.
"Well, the owner of the jewelry has been found." Huang Qiangmin's heart was heavy.
At this moment, Huang Qiangmin was standing in the victim's home.
This is a house with three bedrooms and one living room, located in the core area of Fangjin Township. Outside the window is the only vegetable market in Fangjin Township.
The house was a welfare house in the early years and was very poorly decorated. Many places were covered with newspapers.
The hostess was lying on the hospital bed, looking helplessly at the police in the room.
The male owner was sitting by the wall smoking, surrounded by smoke rings, and hung a photo of his missing daughter.
"Do the accessories all match? Do you have photos?" Jiang Yuan asked worriedly on the phone.
Because it is a very cheap jewelry, its repetition rate may be relatively high. It is best to have other supporting evidence.
Huang Qiangmin still said "en" and said: "Look at the photos on WeChat, there are photos."
"Wait a minute, I'm on speakerphone." Jiang Yuan put down his phone, opened the private chat on WeChat, and saw Huang Qiangmin sending a series of photos.
Most of the photos were reproduced. The girl in the photo has a sweet smile and her long black hair is hanging down. You can see the necklace and the ring in the photo. Finally, there is a selfie, revealing the earrings on the ears.
Although more careful comparison may be needed in the future, as far as the investigation procedure is concerned, it is very complete at this point.
Jiang Yuan looked back at the skeleton of Corpse No. 3. He had just been sitting there for a long time.
However, the white bones and the sweet smile in the photo don’t match at all.
"How long has this girl been missing?" Forensic Doctor Zhai came over and asked a question from behind.
"Who?" Huang Qiangmin asked first.
"I am Lao Zhai, forensic doctor Lao Zhai."
"Well. Forensic Doctor Zhai. The victim has been missing for three years and four months." Huang Qiangmin answered.
Forensic Doctor Zhai unexpectedly said "Oh" and couldn't help but said: "The time is a bit short."
"The temperature problem in the mine." Jiang Yuan replied casually, then picked up the phone and asked: "Team Huang, have the other teams gained anything?"
"Not yet. We didn't find it here, but people from the city's criminal police team found it." Huang Qiangmin first explained clearly to Jiang Yuan, and then said: "We have already started searching for local motorcycles."
