Chapter 228 Corpse Exhibition Examination
Hearing Yang Sen’s shout, Lao Bai broke through the rain curtain and ran over from more than 30 meters away.
"What's wrong?"
"Look at this!"
Yang Sen pointed to the black plastic bag at his feet, and what fell out was the handle of a sharp knife.
"Knife handle?"
Why is there a knife in the black plastic bag?
"The bag I just saw, I kicked it casually, there is something inside."
The two squatted down and looked at the exposed handle of the knife.
Yang Sen put on another layer of gloves and twisted them gently.
"This thing...couldn't it be related to the rotting corpse?"
It rained heavily in Haizhou City today, and the corpse was washed ashore by the waves.
There is also a black plastic bag with a sharp knife inside?
“I don’t know, let’s take it back for testing first.”
Yang Sen didn’t have an answer to Lao Bai’s question.
However, from the perspective of on-site investigation, suspicious items found around the site cannot be ignored.
The sharp knife was taken out of the water, with the scabbard attached.
“No wonder the blade of the sharp knife didn’t puncture the plastic bag. It turned out to be in a scabbard.”
Lu Chuan and Liu Guodong were not as lucky as Yang Sen.
The banks of the Bailan River have been repeatedly washed away by the overflowing water, and basically nothing can be left behind.
Some branches and garbage even washed up in the river, only to be washed away the next moment.
Liu Guodong looked up at the gloomy sky.
"Get ready to close the team and go back to inspect the body. The forensic doctor will do an autopsy."
"Yes!"
"Copy that."
The echoes of Lu Chuan and others came from the intercom.
After searching for more than an hour, the surrounding situation has basically been surveyed.
Except for the sharp knife with a scabbard found by Yang Sen, there are basically no other clues.
Liu Guodong looked at the sharp knife that Yang Sen had put in the evidence collection bag and studied it for a moment.
“Let’s do a bloodstain analysis when we go back to see if there is any possibility of it being a murder weapon.”
Although this possibility is infinitely close to zero, this is the only clue found at the scene anyway.
Maybe there are clues.
Four thirty in the afternoon.
Forensic autopsy room.
Liu Guodong and Lu Chuan were doing a postmortem examination on the corpse.
Wang Changjiang and Shen Yan were also on the side.
This time it is a joint inspection of the on-site investigation and forensic medicine.
"I have roughly checked the condition of the body in the morning."
Wang Changjiang stood on the right side of the body: "But I did not open the clothes."
Liu Guodong nodded, Clothes are not an important target for forensic examination.
But the clothes of this unknown corpse are extremely important objects for the current investigation.
"Lu Chuan, you come to investigate this time, and I will take notes."
Lu Chuan nodded, knowing that Liu Guodong was giving him a chance.
Yang Sen and Lao Bai were arranged by Liu Guodong to conduct blood stain identification on the sharp knife.
Liu Guodong and Lu Chuan are responsible for the corpse surface investigation work here.
Although Lu Chuan and Liu Guodong had been to many scenes together in the past, and Lu Chuan had even discovered many important clues, in the past Lu Chuan had only kept records, and Liu Guodong was mainly responsible for investigation.
It's not that Liu Guodong doesn't believe in Lu Chuan's abilities.
After more than half a year of getting along with each other, Lu Chuan has already proven his ability with practical actions. It's just that there are rules for live surveys, so it doesn't matter who takes the records.
But in the current investigation record, the person who signed the final signature was not the recorder, but the investigating criminal police officer.
You don’t sign casually, and you will be held responsible for any problems that arise.
Moreover, the current retrospective responsibility is lifelong.
Liu Guodong took the initiative to take over the recording work this time and asked Lu Chuan to do the current investigation. That means that Lu Chuan was responsible for the current investigation of this case.
This is both a kind of trust and a kind of experience.
"The gender of the corpse is initially determined to be female, and the age is unknown."
The corpse was in the final stage of active decay, and the skin all over the body was sore into holes. Coupled with being soaked by rain, it was impossible to tell the age from the appearance.
Even for gender, Lu Chuan made a preliminary judgment based on the characteristics of hair and clothing.
"Next, the clothes attached to the body will be inspected."
Unlike the doctor's resuscitation, Lu Chuan did not use scissors to cut open the clothes or parts with obvious wounds when inspecting the clothes.
He checked the condition of the clothes inch by inch.
Details including the texture, brand, feel of the clothing and even the consistency of the color of each button must be checked.
"White cotton long-sleeved T-shirt, pure brand, size S, the cuff of the left sleeve has traces of threading caused by long-term wear."
Lu Chuan's observation was very detailed.
Inspection of clothing attached to corpses has different inspection standards under different circumstances.
Because this rotting corpse has not yet been identified, we don’t know where the scene of the first crime is, and we don’t even know when the other party died.
Then the inspection of clothing is very necessary to be extremely detailed.
This will help Lu Chuan analyze the nature of the deceased's job, economic conditions, and even find out where he lived.
If there were some special clothes on the deceased, it might be possible to directly determine the identity of the deceased.
“Tight denim trousers, also from the pure brand, there are scratches and threading on the right hip.”
“The right shoe is missing, the left shoe is a Huili brand canvas shoe, small and large is thirty-six yards.”
...
From long-sleeved T-shirts to jeans, shoes and socks, Lu Chuan conducted an extremely detailed inspection of the clothing attached to the corpse through observation.
Liu Guodong recorded everything one by one, and nodded secretly every time Lu Chuan said something.
To be honest, Lu Chuan's basic skills were really solid, and even he didn't even notice some of the detailed investigations.
For example, there are long-term wear marks on the cuff end of the left sleeve of the deceased’s long-sleeved T-shirt.
This is an important trace that can determine the habits of the deceased during his lifetime.
For example, the deceased was left-handed and wrote with his left hand. All the cuffs on the right side were not worn, but the left side was.
Another example is that it can be roughly judged that the deceased's economic conditions are average. After all, the cuffs have been frayed and threaded, but he still has not changed his clothes.
Of course, specific situations need to be analyzed in detail. For example, Lu Chuan knew that some young people now like to deliberately make old clothes.
Whether this is the case with this T-shirt needs to be analyzed in detail.
"Next, I will remove the clothes attached to the corpse and check the underwear and surface condition of the corpse."
This work cannot be completed by Lu Chuan alone.
Not even one more person.
Because the body was highly decomposed, there were even many maggots crawling around on the autopsy table.
"Brother Wang, Master, help me?"
Wang Changjiang was fine with it and was used to it.
Although it was the first time for Shen Yan to come into contact with a corpse with such a high degree of corruption, as a professional forensic doctor and already equipped with a gas mask and PU professional protective clothing, she had no objection to this.
But Lu Chuan obviously didn’t want Forensic Shen to do this, so he called Liu Guodong.
Recording, there is no need to record it all the time.
However, it is impossible to take off the clothes normally and can only be removed destructively with scissors.
Wang Changjiang and Lu Chuan lifted the body, and Liu Guodong cut off his shirt and trousers.
Wow!
Then a bunch of things fell down with a clatter after losing the restraints of their clothes.
