In a drowning case, the nature of the case must first be determined.
If the deceased committed suicide by jumping into the river, there is nothing to say about the case. It was an accidental death.
But how to determine this property is more difficult now.
“Do you have any identification documents?”
“No, there is no identification document on the deceased, and no mobile phone was found on the deceased.”
"Of course, this may or may not have been lost in the river."
Without identification, it means that the family cannot be contacted for the time being.
In this case, it is estimated that it will not be realistic in a short time to determine the status of the deceased through his family members.
"In this way, first check if there are any taller buildings nearby. If the deceased fell into the water from a height, first know the specific location."
"Yes!"
"The body was also temporarily transported back to the detachment for further examination by Forensic Doctor Wang."
The work on site was quickly completed.
Sitting in the survey vehicle, Lu Chuan remained silent.
"Xiao Lu, what's wrong?"
"Oh, it's nothing, I was thinking about the case just now."
"What are you thinking about?" Lao Bai waved his hand: "If it is suicide, it has nothing to do with us. If it is suicide... it will be troublesome."
Lu Chuan nodded. Judging from the current situation, it is not possible yet. Determine whether it was homicide or suicide.
However, based on past experience, this kind of case is more likely to be treated as suicide.
The main thing is to first determine the identity of the deceased and then contact the family of the deceased.
Suicide generally has precursors.
Or call home, or leave a last message or something.
In this season, the flow rate of Bailan River is fixed, and the time of death of the deceased is within an hour. A rough calculation shows that the place of death of the deceased should be within five kilometers of the crime scene.
Because we are not sure how long the deceased hung on the tree branch on the shore, but after all, it cannot exceed the time of death for an hour.
So, the farthest distance where the deceased drowned is five kilometers.
Five kilometers upstream from the crime scene along the river, there are not many buildings next to the river.
In particular, there are only three high-rise buildings that meet the characteristics of high-rise buildings, all of which are high-end residential buildings with river views.
Many people die every year in Bailan River.
In terms of drowning deaths, it can be said that there are two or three cases every month in summer.
So, Qin Yong did not take this case too seriously.
“Divide into three groups and search three residential buildings separately, especially the top floors. Pay more attention.”
While Ren Qiang's second operation team was busy, further inspection of the body was continuing.
In this case, anatomy has no practical significance.
Wang Changjiang only conducted an external inspection of the corpse.
There is no external injury, and the face has the typical features of a high fall into the water.
Liu Guodong’s on-site judgment was correct, and Wang Changjiang issued a positive forensic judgment.
This is experience. If you have more experience, you will naturally know what is going on.
Lu Chuan was also busy over there. He was inspecting the clothes of the deceased.
Except for the damage to the clothes caught on a tree branch on the shore and the damage to the body caught on an iron hook, there were no other visible suspicious damages on the clothes.
However, the leather shoes on the deceased’s feet made Lu Chuan a little confused.
Lu Chuan, who has mastered the skills of footprint identification and analysis, observes shoes very carefully.
"There's something wrong with the wear on the heel."
The shoes are obviously old shoes that have been worn for a while, and nearly one-third of the pattern on the sole of the foot has been worn away.
Furthermore, the deceased walked with a slightly splayed figure, and the outside of the heels of both leather shoes were evenly worn.
This is a specific wear and tear caused by the characteristics of the opponent's walking.
Each person’s walking style is slightly different due to different bone development and acquired habits. Some people walk with their toes touching the ground first, some people touch the ground with the soles of their feet first, and some people touch the ground with their heels first.
According to the worn position of the deceased's leather shoes, the deceased walked with the heel first on the ground, accompanied by a weak outward splay.
But why are there fresh signs of wear and tear on the inside of the heels of these two shoes?
This is... unscientific.
At the same time, Liu Guodong was comparing the fingerprints collected on the corpse.
The corpse had just been dead for an hour, and the soaking of the fingers was not particularly serious. Clear fingerprints could be collected without any special treatment.
Liu Guodong is currently conducting fingerprint identification.
"How's it going? Do you have any information?"
Lao Bai just changed his clothes and came to the computer.
“The system is still running...”
bite!
The system beeps and a successful comparison message appears on the screen.
“It’s done!”
Liu Guodong quickly opened the comparison information.
"Zhou Yang..."
The deceased was a native of Haizhou City, and his fingerprints were collected very late. Last month, Zhou Yang had an argument with someone while drunk, and the fingerprints were collected during mediation at the police station.
This is the wonderful thing about collecting fingerprints. Maybe something happens and the fingerprints are collected.
"I'm going to report to Team Qin."
In Qin Yong's office, Liu Guodong quickly reported the basic information of the deceased.
“This is found from the household registration system, the family information of the deceased.”
"Okay, thank you for your hard work."
After confirming the identity of the deceased, it is natural for the family members to come and claim the body.
12:18 noon.
The sound of crying and shouting came from the forensic autopsy room.
Zhou Yang is the only son of his family. His parents are in their fifties and are primary school teachers. They have not yet retired.
"Comrade police, how did my son die?"
Ren Qiang was responsible for receiving the parents of the deceased: "This morning, someone found your son's body under the Bailan River Bridge."
"Our preliminary judgment is that Zhou Yang's cause of death was drowning."
"Drowning?"
Zhou Yang's mother's eyes were blood red: "He couldn't swim, how could he drown? ”
"The investigation is still ongoing. It is not yet certain whether Zhou Yang committed suicide or was murdered."
"It was homicide!"
"My son must have been killed. He was so obedient. Yesterday In the evening, he said how could he commit suicide when he went home for dinner next weekend? "
"My condolences, we are still investigating the specific situation, and we hope you can cooperate with us."
Zhou Yang's mother. Already out of breath from crying, Zhou Yang's father was trembling, as if he had suddenly aged more than ten years.
Soon, Ren Qiang sent someone to take notes for the two people.
At noon, Qin Yong organized a case analysis meeting without taking care of eating.
"Let me talk about it first."
Ren Qiang stood up and introduced the general situation: "The current investigation confirmed the identity of the deceased through fingerprint identification and analysis."
< br>"Zhou Yang, male, 23 years old, a native of Haizhou City, 1.76 meters tall and weighing 70 kilograms."
"The time of death was between 7:30 and 8:30 this morning."
"Based on the circumstances discovered so far, Zhou Yang died of drowning after falling into the water from a height."
"After checking the rental information, Zhou Yang rented a single apartment in Haizhou International Apartment, but his parents didn't know about this place, and the relationship between the two parties was not good."
"Team Leader Sun's side We are talking to the relevant personnel visiting the apartment."
Ren Qiang said while drawing a rough diagram on the whiteboard. (End of chapter)
