Chapter 374: Corpses in the Garbage Heap
Lao Bai wanted to slap himself in the mouth.
It’s okay to nag about any case, now it’s over, the case is really here.
“Look, I just can’t resist talking about this case, let’s go.”
Old Yang put the college entrance examination application guide backwards on his desk and started to put on his police uniform.
Lu Chuan also put down the anthurium and put on his police uniform.
Unlike most front-line criminal police officers, technical criminal police officers such as Lu Chuan wear police uniforms when they appear on scene.
The main reason is that front-line criminal police officers wear plainclothes to hide their identity during the investigation and handling of cases, but technical criminal police officers do not have this concern. Wearing police uniforms at the crime scene is more conducive to distinguishing identities.
Even the backs of the police uniforms of the four people from Lu and Chuan had words printed on them: On-site Investigation.
This time it was a rare group dispatch for the four people from the field survey office. Lu Chuan acted as the driver, drove a professional field survey vehicle, and set off with the large group.
"Lao Liu, what's the specific situation?"
In the car, Lao Yang checked the equipment and asked about the situation of the case.
“The morning meeting was about to end when we received the alarm.”
Liu Guodong thought it was another day of fishing. After all, today’s morning meeting had already started Hour.
According to past experience, if the morning meeting can only last an hour, there should be no cases today. Unexpectedly, when Qin Yong just announced that the meeting was adjourned, he received a call to the police.
And it's a murder case.
“The Cangfanggou Police Station received a report this morning that a scavenger found a body in the Cangfanggou landfill.”
“I don’t have any news about the specific situation yet. Let’s see when we get to the scene.”
Lao Liu said it easily, but Lao Bai and Yang Sen’s expressions were very ugly.
“In the landfill this time?”
Liu Guodong nodded: "This case... is not going to be easy, so be mentally prepared."
The two nodded silently, Lao Bai patted Lu Chuan on the shoulder: "Xiao Lu, how many pairs are there in the car?" Gas mask?”
Starting from the beginning of this year, all instruments and equipment in the current survey office, including the current survey vehicles, have been managed by Lu Chuan.
This work used to be done by Yang Sen, but later due to the establishment of the trace evidence laboratory and the introduction of some advanced criminal investigation equipment, Yang Sen did not know how to use many of the equipment.
Lu Chuan naturally took over, so Lu Chuan knew best what equipment was in the survey car.
"There are five pairs of gas masks. I prepared one for each of us and a backup."
"Okay, reliable, you can use it later."
Before Lu Chuan Although I have never experienced a similar site, you can tell what kind of place it is when you hear the name of the landfill.
It’s strange that a place like this can taste good.
Cangfanggou Landfill is located in the suburbs. There are not many people around. It is far away from the city. It takes more than an hour to drive there.
At 10:30 in the morning, although the rain stopped, the weather was still gloomy.
Qin Yong led the team. After getting off the bus, Li Hong, the director of Cangfanggou Police Station, came over to report the case.
Li Hong is a rare female police station director in the Haizhou City Public Security Bureau. Lu Chuan heard that she was also a legend in the past.
While on vacation, I once arrested a wanted criminal by myself.
“The office received the report at 8:30 this morning. Some scavengers found a black leather box deep in the landfill. After opening it, they found the body, and then reported the case. ”
"We have a preliminary understanding of the waste picker who reported the case. He is from the nearby Cangfanggou Village. During the slack time, he came over to look through the garbage and has been doing this for more than ten years."
"The people who were traveling with him at the time were also Several people from the village also asked about the situation. "
Li Hong's report was very brief, or there were not many clues at the moment.
This time, at least there were no onlookers around the scene. The smell of the landfill is not something that most people can tolerate. Fortunately, it rained today, and the unpleasant smell is not so pungent under the cover of the rain.
"Ren Qiang, let the garbage trucks over there stop first and wait until the site survey is completed before dumping the garbage."
In the distance, there are garbage trucks lined up to dump garbage.
"Investigation now, the forensic doctor will arrive first."
The body is in a box. Obviously this is not the first scene. The murderer should have thrown the body here.
So it is unlikely that we can get any useful clues from the surrounding environment, such as footprints and fingerprints.
We can only start from the corpse.
Shen Yan and Wang Changjiang came in another car.
Lu Chuan handed the spare gas mask to Shen Yan: "Put this on."
As for Wang Changjiang... there was really no other way, there were only five gas masks in total.
Fortunately, Liu Guodong and Lao Bai didn't wear either. The six of them put on shoe covers and prepared their equipment and were the first to enter the venue.
The body was found deep inside the landfill, about 500 meters away from the roadside.
Cangfanggou Landfill is one of the largest landfill sites in Haizhou City and has a history of ten years.
The entire landfill covers a very large area, with a length of five kilometers from north to south and three kilometers from east to west.
You can't see the place where the body was found from the parking place, because it is uneven and full of garbage, just like a real mountain.
After about twenty minutes of walking, a few people trudged over.
Fortunately, I wore waterproof shoe covers, otherwise...
I wouldn't be able to ask for any shoes.
Two policemen were already watching the scene. When they saw the investigators approaching, they quickly said hello.
"Leader, I leave it to you, we will withdraw first."
The two policemen are one old and one young. They are obviously a master and an apprentice.
Someone comes and takes over and they can leave.
This place is indeed not for humans.
"Xiao Lu, let's take pictures first."
The suitcase has been opened, and the corpse inside has obviously been dismembered. The body is in one piece, and the arms and thighs have been removed and stacked on top of each other. The two sides of the body are stacked relatively neatly.
On-site survey and photography are the prerequisite for all steps. Lu Chuan was very skillful. He adjusted the camera, placed the serial number plate, and the photo was completed in less than five minutes.
"Old Wang, together?"
The crime scene is definitely not the first scene. The investigation and forensics can work simultaneously.
Wang Changjiang nodded: "Then let's go together."
Because the box is not too big, each of them took out half of it and took out an arm.
“There is mildew on the body parts, the body spots have disappeared, and the time of death has not been short.”
Liu Guodong observed his arm carefully and soon made some discoveries.
Wang Changjiang nodded in approval: "There are layers of moldy changes on the corpse. Consider whether there are traces of freezing."
Moldy on the corpse, in layman's terms, means that the corpse was in a dark and humid environment. , because of mold growth and hair growth.
For moldy corpses, the time of death of the corpse can be determined based on the length and growth of mycelium.
At this point, Lu Chuan has experience and knowledge in this area in his intermediate spot survey skills, but this is the first time Lu Chuan has encountered a real moldy corpse.
