Chapter 242 Mystery
The underground anatomy room of the funeral home.
A female corpse lay on the cold stainless steel table. Her skin was fair, and her hair was like green algae in the deep sea, hanging down from the table.
The snowflake prints in the corners of her eyes are clearly visible, which are formed by the inorganic salts in her tears.
Luo Rui stood next to the tripod, as if looking at a porcelain doll, which was extremely unreal.
Zhao Chunlai's two apprentices presided over the dissection. They were fully dressed, and their hands wearing blue latex gloves were stretched out in the air.
The eldest disciple Yi Linhai glanced at Luo Rui and said, "Shall we start?"
"Okay!" Luo Rui nodded.
Yi Linhai first checked the corpse form. He lifted the right wrist of the female corpse and turned it over slightly.
The technical detective who was taking pictures in front of him immediately raised his camera.
Although the tripod camera is recording the image, more detailed evidence collection is needed for the injuries on the body.
The first dissection contains the most information. If the second and third dissections are performed, even less information will be left behind. You will be faced with an unrecognizable corpse.
Zhao Chunlai did not rush back in time. It seemed that he still trusted his two apprentices.
Luo Rui clearly saw multiple cuts on Shen Lan's right wrist.
Yi Chunlin said: "As age increases, the tension of the skin increases. It is speculated that the time of cutting the wrists is longer."
The stenographer next to him took a folder and quickly wrote it down.
At this time, Luo Rui asked from the side: "Director Yi, can you guess the time when you cut your wrists?"
Yi Chunlin looked up at him and said: "Team Leader Luo , don’t call me director, just call me Xiao Yi. I can’t give you an accurate time for the question you asked, but. ..."
Yi Chunlin raised the corpse's wrist: "You have also seen that there are many scars, old and new. They should not have been caused at one time."
"Especially this one. The scratch, you see, has cut the artery, and the desire to die is very strong.”
Luo Rui narrowed his eyes slightly: "Does that mean Shen Lan committed suicide many times before his death?"
"If it is not ruled out that it was homicide, then it should be." Yi Chunlin's tone of words was a bit like Zhao Chunlai's It was ironic, but there was no teasing in his eyes.
“Write it down!” Luo Rui turned to look at Fang Yonghui, who was wearing a mask. He suppressed his inner discomfort and did not dare to look at the body.
“Add a sentence later, Shen Lan may have suffered from depression during his lifetime.”
“Yes!”
After he finished speaking, Yi Chunlin touched the throat of the corpse.
Shen Lan was mechanically killed and was the only victim who resisted during her lifetime. She had the most clues left on her body, so Luo Rui rushed over immediately before the body was dissected.
The technical investigation police officer raised his camera and took multiple photos of the purple strangle marks on Shen Lan’s neck from different angles.
Yi Chunlin stretched out his hand and pressed the inside of the corpse's pubic bone.
Luo Rui asked quickly: "How is it?"
"There is a lump. As you said, the deceased may have been pregnant during his lifetime, but it may also be a tumor."
Fang Yonghui interjected: "Tumor? What is the probability of a 26-year-old young woman suffering from uterine tumors? Very small, right?”
“That’s right, so I’ll wait. We will look at the details after the autopsy."
Luo Rui continued to ask: "Apart from this, what other clues can you tell me?"
Generally speaking, whether it is forensics or technology, Investigators, even ordinary police officers who maintain the scene, have their own judgments on the case. Of course, the former is based on clues and is more authoritative.
However, these people will not speak out their inner thoughts, such as the Zhaos and his son. They only provide information and will not say a word about the case. The situation is judged by you, the frontline criminal police.
If Zhao Chunlai had presided over the autopsy, Luo Rui would not have asked so directly.
The old man is like a fox. If you want to get something out of his mouth, you must either be more respectful or show some blood, like Maotai?
This is the self-confidence of technology bosses, who want both face and honour.
But Yi Chunlin is younger and does not have so many twists and turns in his belly.
Sure enough, Yi Chunlin said "Huh" and then said: "There is a very strange thing..."
"Say!"
Yi Chunlin hesitated and said : "I found traces of being wiped on the surface of the corpse!"
"What do you say?" Luo Rui asked and walked to the autopsy table.
Shen Lan's clothes haven't been taken off yet. She is wearing a black lace dress, like a black swan.
Luo Rui looked at it carefully and couldn't see anything interesting at all.
“I extracted a large amount of towel fibers from her wrists and arms.”
Luo Rui said: “Could it be the remaining towel fibers after taking a shower the night before? ?"
"Leave on the skin There won't be so many fibers on it, and you can see that the skin you wiped is still red. Only by wiping it very hard will a lot of fibers fall off."
Luo Rui asked: "The murderer is. What were you wiping? ”
Fang Yonghui blinked: "Did the murderer assault her? So he wanted to wipe away his Mi Qingye?"
Yi Chunlin regretted saying this. He shook his head: "There must be blood stains. Yes, before the murderer strangled her, their bodies must have been in contact. Besides, hadn’t the murderer killed other people downstairs before? It was normal for the murderer’s blood to be on her body. There was nothing to worry about. Suspicious.
In addition, if the murderer's DNA was left on the deceased, we would also extract it, such as rice fluid, hair, saliva, etc., but none of these things were found.
Hey, Team Leader Luo, this is just a random guess. I shouldn’t say it.”
Luo Rui waved his hand: “It’s okay, thank you.”
Yi Chunlin's expression did not relax. Luo Rui added: "Don't worry, I won't write it into the file. The clues you provide are only clues for our judgment during the investigation."
Yi Chunlin Nodding: "Okay, let's start the official dissection!"
Luo Rui and Fang Yonghui stepped back a few steps to facilitate Yi Chunlin's operation.
Shen Lan died mechanically, and there was a contusion on the back of her head, with a large wound area, so her autopsy was more complicated. Three cavities were opened, namely the cranial cavity, chest cavity and abdominal cavity, and pathological examination materials were taken. That's why Shen Lan's body was placed last for autopsy.
When opening three cavities, the thorax and abdominal cavity are usually dissected first, and then the head and neck are dissected. In addition to the habit of doing the easier things first and then the more difficult ones, another reason is because of the blood vessels in the head and neck. After dissecting the chest and abdomen first, part of the blood will be lost, which is more beneficial for anatomical observation of the neck and brain.
Yi Chunlin held the scalpel, and after making sure the camera could capture it, he started to operate.
Fang Yonghui quickly looked away, but he still saw the straight scratch and the picture of the muscles unfolding from the corner of his eye.
He covered his mouth and begged: "Luo Da, should I wait outside?"
Luo Rui shook his head: "Just stay here, don't go anywhere, if you don't adapt as soon as possible If so, how will I learn anything in the future?”
“But I...”
Luo Rui ignored him and stared at Yi Chunlin's scalpel without blinking.
Watch him take out the heart, liver, stomach pouch, lungs and other organs one by one, and then put them in an iron bucket. These internal organs need to be cut open face by face, just like a piece of bread. Make parallel incisions, then analyze the location of the lesion, perform a series of processes such as key material collection, fixation, and dewaxing, and finally make pathological slices.
If all inspections are completed, it will take at least a month.
After doing this, Yi Chunlin took the manual electric saw from his junior brother, pressed the button, and stood at the head of the corpse.
A "buzzing" sound sounded in the dissecting room.
Fang Yonghui endured the discomfort, swallowed a sip of saliva, and asked: "Don't you use a saw?"
Yi Chunlin glanced at him: "My master is used to using saws. I didn't have the conditions before. It takes a lot of energy." Not to mention, the saw is easy to break, so I don’t like using it.”
Fang Yonghui saw the saw blade surrounding the corpse’s scalp, sawing a semicircle, and then peeling off the scalp like a coconut.
He couldn't bear it anymore. He stuffed the notebook in Luo Rui's arms, then ran to the big trash can in the corner and hurriedly took off his mask.
“Ugh…”
"Ugh..."
Luo Rui didn't pay attention, but stared at the movements of Yi Chunlin's hands.
Not long after, the cranial cavity was opened. After Yi Chunlin extracted the tissue inside, he went around to the back of the dissecting table and began to dissect the abdominal cavity.
From the cut surface, to the abdomen, which is the location of the vagina, is the pubic bone.
Yi Chunlin held the scalpel, made a cut on the left and right sides, and then opened the muscle tissue.
In case of caesarean section, only a small opening will be left, but in case of dissection, there is not much to worry about.
Yi Chunlin handed the scalpel to his junior brother, opened up the muscle tissue, and then turned to look at Luo Rui.
Luo Rui walked over and saw his thumb pinching the muscle, and there was something red and somewhat transparent inside the flesh.
"Yes, the deceased was indeed pregnant during her lifetime."
Luo Rui shook his head and let out a long breath.
Yi Chunlin took out the things and put them on a plate.
Luo Rui said: "Please do a DNA test. We want to find out who made Shen Lan pregnant."
"No problem."
Luo Rui left He went to the trash can and patted Fang Yonghui on the shoulder.
“Are you ready?”
"It's okay, Luo Da, I can do it!" Fang Yonghui wanted to continue vomiting, but he swallowed the bitter water.
The two were about to leave when Yi Chunlin quickly stopped them.
"That...Team Leader Luo, there is another discovery!"
Luo Rui turned around.
"Shen Lan is not pregnant for the first time, she has signs of giving birth before."
Luo Rui's heart skipped a beat and asked: "I just didn't see the traces left by the caesarean section..."
Yi Chunlin said: "She was born naturally."
Luo Rui's Looking up, along the incised abdominal cavity, I saw Shen Lan's pale face. Her eyes were closed, and her black eyelashes were like butterfly wings.
……
When we walked out of the underground anatomy room, the bright moon was already hanging high.
When the late autumn wind blows, the row of fir trees behind the flower bed rustles like a woman's whisper.
Fang Yonghui shivered, wiped his mouth, and followed Luo Rui toward the parking lot.
There were not many people in the funeral home in the middle of the night. Looking around, it looked gloomy. The two drove back to the county bureau, and Fang Yonghui's cold heart felt a little better.
In the office of the Special Criminal Group, everyone is still there, waiting for Luo Rui's arrangements for tomorrow.
It was already eleven o'clock at night, and everyone else had already left work.
Luo Rui looked at everyone and smiled and said: "Lao Qi, Yonghui and Yang Bo just arrived today. Our team also officially started working today. We happened to encounter a murder case and missed the time to pick them up. Otherwise, Let’s go to a food stall now?”
Qi Lei clasped his hands and said, "I'm just waiting for Luo Da's words."
Chu Yang said, "Old Qi, Guangxing City is a province and city, and there are dishes from all over the world. What do you think? What to eat?”
“It’s cold, how about pork belly and chicken?”
Fang Yonghui quickly waved his hand: "No, I just came back from the dissection room with Luo Da. When it comes to meat, I feel like vomiting."
Qi Lei caught him and complained: "Look at your potential. "
Cai Xiaojing picked up her backpack and said: "How about some casserole porridge? I know a good casserole porridge."
Luo Rui nodded: "Okay, casserole porridge is easy to digest."
Eight people, two cars, from the county After getting out of the police station, we drove along the city avenue to a nearby night market stall.
Although it was already very late, there were many people out looking for food. The casserole porridge food stall was in a narrow alley, with several round tables set up in front of the door.
After Cai Xiaojing got off the car, the proprietress saw her, walked over quickly, and said hello in broken Mandarin.
After the group sat down, their expressions relaxed.
After a day of getting along, Shahe County Bureau and Haijiang Branch have become familiar with each other. After all, we are all young people and the topics we talk about are similar.
Only Tian Guanghan seems a little out of place. He will not take the initiative to stir up topics, but in order to avoid being left alone, he will occasionally chat a few words.
But after chatting for a long time, we still talked about the case.
Luo Rui told them the situation and provided them with analysis.
Tian Guanghan was the first to speak: "When I had nothing to do at night, I went to their office. Everyone thought it was a theft as a cover, and it was mainly a vendetta."
Tian Guanghan The 'they' Han mentioned refers to the criminal investigation brigade led by Du Feng.
Qi Lei agreed: "It must be a vendetta. The first three people were killed so cleanly and without any defensive injuries. It is very likely that an acquaintance committed the crime."
Cai Xiaojing shook her head: "Don't be so sure. Shen Hai is a businessman and does not rule out killing people for profit."
Chu Yang said: "I agree with Captain Cai's analysis! I went to the Economic Investigation Brigade to find out. Shen Hai's business is very big and his assets are worth hundreds of millions. Who benefits the most from his family being killed? Shen Hai's factory is not his boss's company, and he has no business partners. "
Su Ming Yuan picked up a book, pointed to the record on it, and said: "Chen Hai's father passed away early, and he has an old mother. He also has an older brother and a younger sister. The older brother is a teacher and the younger sister works at the post office. If you want to say who In terms of benefits, only his brother can get a lot of benefits from Shen Hai's huge family property."
Luo Rui nodded. During his absence, his subordinates still did a lot of homework. It's not that. Waiting blindly.
"A family of four was wiped out. If burglary and murder are excluded, then the social and legal relationships of the four people must be investigated. In this way... Tomorrow morning, Chu Yang and Yang Bo will go to Shen Hai's factory and his mother. Look, you follow this line.
Lao Qi and Lao Tian, go check out the social relationships of Chen Hai's wife Peng Ruzhen, and find out the reasons for their divorce. ”
“Okay! "
"Understood! "
Luo Rui turned to look at Cai Xiaojing and said, "Captain Cai, please go to the school where Shen Xin is studying with Su Mingyuan to check out this kid's social connections. ”
“Yes. ”
Luo Rui continued: "Yonghui and I are going to investigate Shen Lan's situation. After you find the clues, don't wait for the meeting in the evening and inform me immediately."
Everyone nodded.
At this time, the landlady brought the steaming shrimp porridge, with coriander in one pot but not in the other.
......
The next morning, Luo Rui was woken up by a call from Zhao Ming.
When Luo Rui rushed to Shuimuchun City, it was only 7:30 in the morning, and he had slept for less than six hours.
Fang Yonghui was already waiting at the door of the villa, looking in high spirits.
He understood very well what it meant for Luo Rui to let him follow him.
"Are you up so early? Are you uncomfortable living in the county bureau's dormitory?" Luo Rui asked as he walked towards the villa.
“No, everyone got up early. Qi Lei and Yang Bo had already gone out for a visit. We all thought that we must not lose face to Shahe County.”
Luo Rui laughed: "No, just do your part."
Zhao Ming's task today is to re-examine and prepare to carefully search the physical evidence at the scene again.
He was standing by the door and said directly: "No trace of intrusion was found. I scanned the door handles and windows, and found no footprints or fingerprints."
Compared with yesterday, Zhao Ming obviously talked more about a strange scene that was waiting to be investigated. This was because he was more familiar with the crime scene.
Luo Rui frowned slightly: "So an acquaintance committed the crime? The door opened by the victim allowed the murderer to come in?"
Zhao Ming did not answer directly. He added: "In addition, after re-examination, I still can't find the murderer's movement track..."
"This can be judged by the time of death, right? After the murderer came in, he first killed Chen Hai, kill Peng Ruzhen again, and then go straight to Go upstairs and kill their son Shen Xin..."
"Wrong!"
"Wrong?"
Zhao Mingdao: "Shen Lan is the first one. Of the three who were killed, Shen Xin was the last one killed.”
"Director Zhao, are you sure?"
"Of course I am sure. Although they died for a short time, this can be analyzed from the state of blood coagulation."
Luo Rui still doesn't believe it. : "How about calling me Zhao Ke?" Come back and take a look?"
Zhao Ming rolled his eyes and said, "I have asked him for confirmation, and he agrees with my judgment."
"Oh, you are too. He is the son of a forensic doctor.”
Zhao Ming didn't take Luo Rui's teasing seriously.
There are many technical detectives investigating in the villa. Different from the first time, the second re-investigation mainly focuses on details and is not as careful as the first investigation.
Because it was a massacre and it was a villa, the area that needed to be surveyed was large, so Luo Rui didn't look at the scene carefully yesterday.
Seeing that Luo Rui wanted to go upstairs, Zhao Ming hurriedly said: "One more thing. The tool used to commit the crime that Shen Lan was strangled to death was a piece of wire. There was a kettle on the coffee table in the living room on the third floor. , but the wire is missing, and this thing was not found at the scene."
Luo Rui nodded and walked upstairs.
Fang Yonghui followed him and said, "Luo Da, if Shen Lan died first, why couldn't her brother hear anything?"
With that said, the two of them had arrived at Shen Xin's bedroom on the second floor.
At that time, Shen Xin's throat was cut and he died in the same way as his mother. He was playing games with headphones on alone and making supper alone. They were all killed without defense. .
After all, he is the second generation of rich people. Everything in Shen Xin's bedroom is very expensive, from computers to computer desks, everything is bought at a big price.
Luo Rui put on his gloves, turned on the computer, and found the game interface.
"Yonghui, go to Shen Lan's bedroom and shout loudly."
"Okay!" After Fang Yonghui went out, he gently closed the door.
Luo Rui put the earmuffs on his head and entered the game animation.
Not long after, the voice-over of the game rang in his ears, the sound was very loud, but he could also hear Fang Yonghui’s shout outside: “Luo Da, I started shouting!”
< br>"Help! Help me! Help..."
Luo Rui tried to amplify the sound of the game, but Fang Yonghui's voice could still be heard.
Finally, he took off his earmuffs, opened the door, and saw Fang Yonghui standing in the stairwell leading to the third floor.
"Okay, stop shouting."
Fang Yonghui nodded, ran over immediately and asked, "Luo Da, can you hear me?"
"One clear and two clear. Chu.”
"If this is the case, when Shen Lan was killed, this boy should have been able to hear his sister's cry for help. Did the murderer cover Shen Lan's mouth when he committed the murder?"
Luo Rui said nothing, he Walked out of the room and came to Shen Lan's bedroom.
This family all lives on the second floor. There are four rooms on the second floor. Except for the master bedroom at the end of the corridor, the other three rooms are all door-to-door.
There are two bedrooms for the siblings, and the other one is the guest room. There is nothing in it except a bed.
Fang Yonghui continued his analysis: "Shen Lan was attacked by gangsters, and Shen Xin was playing games. It is impossible for him not to hear his sister's cry for help, unless this kid was too obsessed with the game and didn't care at all."
The girl's room was very tidy, and the sheets were neatly folded without any mess.
The crime occurred between 11 and 12 o'clock in the middle of the night. Normal people would usually have gone to bed at this time, and even if they didn't sleep, they would still be lying in bed.
Luo Rui stood in Shen Lan's bedroom and saw no trace of the struggle.
In other words, Shen Lan did not encounter the murderer in the bedroom. Was she also on the first floor when her parents were killed?
Luo Rui's brain was working rapidly, reconstructing the crime scene and imagining the scene at that time.
Shen Lan went downstairs and saw her parents being murdered. Then she was chased by the murderer all the way to the third floor. Finally, the murderer strangled her with a kettle wire?
She was not violated by the murderer.
If he didn’t intend to violate Shen Lan, why did the murderer change his method of committing the crime?
You know, the murderer holds a knife in his hand, and he can kill Shen Lan directly.
If the murderer knew this family, he should know that the noise he made would definitely alert Shen Xin.
Shen Xin is a young man, tall and strong. If he is discovered, he will inevitably expose himself. Is the murderer very confident that he can definitely deal with Shen Xin?
The murderer’s behavior seems to be unreasonable.
Luo Rui slowly opened his eyes and looked at Shen Lan's bedroom.
This bedroom has a separate shower room, and there is a yellow couch under the balcony, with several brand new dolls placed on the sofa.
Shen Lang has just graduated from university and has been pregnant twice. Yi Chunlin said that she had signs of natural childbirth,
So, where are her children?
Thank you all!
Thank you!
Thank you!
The condition is slightly better.
