Chapter 141 There is such a kind of makeup technique...
Yu Dazhang knew about the previous case in a tertiary hospital.
At that time, he suspected that the hospital wanted to harvest the child's organs.
Later, after consulting professionals, I learned that organs must be transplanted from a living donor.
You can find out by looking at the hospital’s requirements for donors.
Either he was brain dead, or he asked his family to sign it before he died.
Another way to extend the time is to remove the organs and perform cold perfusion within half an hour of the heart stopping.
Apparently the four remains in this case did not meet these conditions.
Yu Dazhang pinched his eyebrows twice, feeling a little irritated.
This kind of time-sensitive case is the most difficult to handle.
Follow the clues bit by bit, and by the time you find the clues, the body will probably have been destroyed long ago.
"Today is the fourth day since the body was lost." Yu Dazhang said, staring at the time on the monitor.
He had a hunch that even if he found the suspect now, it would be too late.
The other party was so eager to get the body, probably because... Yu Dazhang suddenly had an idea in his mind.
“Do you think it’s possible that the suspect used stolen bodies to make up for the charges?”
When he said these words, he felt hot on his tongue.
It lacked logic and had no beginning or end, but for some reason, he always felt that this was also a possibility.
"Recharge?"
Sure enough, none of the team members around him understood:
“What amount to recharge and where to recharge?”
Yu Dazhang scratched his head irritably, obviously his own mind was also a mess.
It was as if a ball of wool appeared in front of his eyes, but he just couldn't find where the thread was.
Seeing his distressed look, everyone became quiet.
Veteran criminal investigators have basically encountered this situation.
You obviously have an idea, but you don't know where to start. Once you figure it out, you suddenly become enlightened. If you don't figure it out, you hit a dead end.
"We should not focus all our attention on the morgue and think divergently..."
Yu Dazhang's eyes gradually became sharp. He stared at the members of the task force and said:
"Besides the morgue, where else can I leave the body?"
After everyone heard this, they all fell into deep thought.
Yes, this is indeed a direction worth thinking about.
Four bodies were lost for four days. How did the other party preserve them?
The maximum storage time in the morgue is two weeks, which requires placing the body in a refrigerator to keep it from decaying.
Since the other party dared to steal four bodies at once, they must have thought of a preservation method before stealing the bodies.
In other words, the other party does not need to prepare at all, and preserving the body is not a difficult task for them at all.
Where else but a morgue can that be done?
After a brief silence.
"I know!" One of the team members suddenly raised his head and looked at Yu Dazhang:
"Funeral parlor!"
After his reminder, other team members also responded.
"Yes, funeral parlors can also preserve remains, and there are more ways to preserve them. In addition to cryogenic preservation, there are also specific liquids for embalming."
When an idea is opened, everyone's thinking comes alive.
Everyone started talking about it.
Yu Dazhang did not participate, but continued to watch the surveillance video.
Ten minutes later, everyone's discussion gradually stopped.
"Dazhang, how did you come up with the idea of a funeral home?" one of the team members asked.
In fact, they should call Yu Dazhang the deputy team leader.
However, his qualifications and age are there, not to mention calling him by his first name is more familiar.
Yu Dazhang didn't care about the title, it was just like that in the system.
It would be polite not to say "Less than".
"It's not what I thought of." Yu Dazhang pointed to the surveillance screen:
"I discovered it while watching the surveillance."
"Although the faces of the four people cannot be seen on the surveillance." "But it can still be seen that their faces are different from normal people."
"Pale and gray face, sunken eye sockets, and faint bluish-purple spots on both sides of the cheeks."
"Obviously they put on makeup in advance."
Having said this, he deliberately found a clearer picture and pressed pause.
Everyone immediately came over and looked at the four people on the screen carefully.
"Really, this makeup is quite good." One of the team members exclaimed.
Another team member pointed at a man on the screen and said:
"Look, there is a mark on his neck. This must be the one who hanged himself in the mental hospital."
"What a detail, the strangulation marks look so similar."
Yu Dazhang didn't interrupt them, just listened quietly.
After a while, the team member closest to him asked:
“Since we already know that they have prepared in advance, it’s okay to put on makeup, right?”
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
If you're pretending to be dead, you'll definitely have to put something on your face.
The ruddy complexion of a living person can be distinguished at a glance.
This is common sense, even ordinary people know it.
"It depends on what kind of makeup it is." Yu Dazhang explained patiently:
"People who can be on duty in the morgue have never seen any corpses."
"It is impossible for ordinary people to deceive the attendants by putting on a dead make-up on themselves."
"Not only did they deceive them, they also scared the on-duty staff into fainting."
"It shows that the makeup on their faces is very realistic."
"Anyone who can achieve this level of makeup on a dead person must be a professional."
He said it to this extent, and everyone present understood it.
It can transform a living person into a dead person. Most people don't have this kind of makeup technique.
Even when filming movies and TV series, the special effects makeup artists who apply death makeup on the set can't do it.
In movies and TV shows, the most common thing is to make your face whiter and draw your eyeliner darker.
If it were a war movie, it would be even simpler. Just put some dust on your face, dip some fake blood, and lie down on the ground.
The special effects makeup artists on those sets had never even seen real dead people.
Those who know how to do this kind of makeup must meet two points:
1. I have been dealing with corpses all year round and have a good understanding of the state of people after death.
2. You must be able to put on makeup at a professional level.
There is only one kind of person who meets these two points.
Enter the undertaker!
Also known as a mortician.
Embalmers are usually under the jurisdiction of the civil affairs department and are staff of funeral homes.
This is one of the reasons why Yu Dazhang located the suspect in the funeral home.
It can preserve the body for a long time, and professional embalmers can help with makeup...
These two points alone are enough to make people suspicious.
Make bold assumptions and verify carefully... Yu Dazhang was inferring and analyzing in his mind.
Suppose it was really someone from the funeral home who stole the body.
So what was their purpose in stealing the body?
There are corpses in the funeral parlor, so wouldn't it be easier to just guard them and steal them?
Why go to the hospital morgue to steal something at such a high risk?
The logic doesn't make sense!
Unless...
Recharge!
Yu Dazhang returned to his original inference, but this time, what he saw in front of him was no longer a mess.
But there is a thread.
It is precisely because the funeral home is a place where corpses can be stored that there is a possibility of a shortage of corpses.
As for why the lack of corpses cannot be inferred, this is just a hypothesis.
Next, put yourself in someone else’s shoes.
Yu Dazhang tapped the table lightly and looked ahead without focus.
"If I were a body thief."
