Chapter 254: Cause of Death
This is the first and perhaps the last good news I heard today.
"Guo Wen and Liu Yingyue disappeared together. They may have been persecuted at the same time. But the murderer only spared Gu Fei. How is this possible..." Tao Lin shook his head and closed the thick document completely.
Already.
He had a bad premonition that he had missed something.
"Anyway, let's compare the DNA information of these two missing people first. If it is confirmed that the deceased is one of them, I will quickly have someone contact Gu Fei's family." Yu Zijiang said.
Yu Zijiang and Tao Lin stayed at the place where the body was found for a while. After understanding the basic facts of the case, they drove back to the town from Songlin.
At this time, Zhang Yun's examination of the body had come to an end.
The branch office did not have an anatomy room, so all of Zhang Yun's work was performed at the local funeral home.
Entering the house surrounded by white bricks, Tao Lin saw for the first time the charred corpse dug out of the ground by the villagers.
The corpse was now placed flat on the silver metal dissection table, and the ruler was fixed next to the corpse. Zhang Yun quickly started to inspect the corpse, while her assistant Liu Zezhou was beside her to help record the information.
"How's it going?" Yu Zijiang took a few steps forward, but subconsciously stopped a little far away from the dissecting table.
Tao Lin put on the mask and walked directly to Zhang Yun. He stretched out his hand to the side, and forensic doctor Xiao Liu immediately understood his intention and handed the record book in his hand to Tao Lin.
"The human body will shrink after being burned. The current measured length of the corpse is 154.8 centimeters. Based on my experience, it is estimated that the height of the deceased was around 160 centimeters. Judging from the wear and tear of the teeth, she should be a woman in her mid-twenties.
A thirty-year-old woman." Tao Lin listened to Zhang Yun's words while looking at the simple notes in the notebook.
"I can't accurately judge the time of death yet. The body was too badly burned," she added.
"It doesn't matter, Tao Lin has already solved this problem." Yu Zijiang immediately interrupted.
Zhang Yun was shocked after hearing this, and she was so impressed that she praised him.
"It's really yours. I've only been in town for half a day and you helped solve a big problem." She glanced at Tao Lin to the side and said.
"How about Teacher Tao's precious brain..." Yu Zijiang couldn't help but joke.
"What's the cause of death?" Tao Lin didn't join in the nonsense of the two people. He just quickly recorded the data in the record book into his mind, and then raised his hand coolly, and the notebook returned to the hands of forensic doctor Xiao Liu.
"There were multiple fractures on the body - the ribs, arm humerus and skull were seriously injured. Her spleen was obviously damaged, and her lungs were swollen and bleeding. This type of wound is very consistent with the characteristics of traffic accident injuries." Zhang
Yun said.
"Obviously, the deceased's eyes had the characteristics of goose claws, and carbon particles were found in the trachea. This means that she did not die on the spot after being hit by the vehicle, but her vital signs became weaker. In summary, the deceased
It was mechanical injury combined with burns that caused death." She finally came to a firm conclusion.
"This has created a big problem for you. The place where the deceased was involved in the car accident and the place where the body was finally burned and buried are definitely not in the same place. But it has been nearly a month since this happened. How are you going to find the real place where the crime occurred?
." Zhang Yun shrugged helplessly.
"I'll have someone check Duan Xiao's car first to see if we can extract any useful DNA samples." Yu Zijiang Youyou said.
Tao Lin and Zhang Yun looked in his direction together and saw him holding his mobile phone and quickly typing messages on the screen.
"It sounds like you have identified the suspect?" Zhang Yun couldn't help but feel surprised.
"It's a long story. The suspect appeared in the police station before the body appeared, and is currently being held." Yu Zijiang replied.
"Duan Xiao, I asked you to help check the DNA information before." Tao Lin repeated the suspect's name.
"What?" Zhang Yun couldn't help but open her eyes.
"How do I remember that you told me that she was a fugitive that you had no way of attacking?" Then she glanced at Tao Lin.
"She really made it impossible for us to do anything. Even though she is in the police station now, we don't have any key evidence, so in the end we still can't charge her," Tao Lin said.
"It's really strange, how could such a person take the initiative to come to the police station?" Zhang Yun shook her head in confusion.
What Duan Xiao did was indeed incredible. She walked into the police station so arrogantly. Did she have any plans that ordinary people could not imagine?
"The anatomy environment provided by the branch is not very good. I contacted the charred corpse to be transferred to the R City General Bureau for further research, so that the toxicological analysis of the deceased can be more detailed." Zhang Yun said as he spoke.
He took off his gloves and threw them into the trash can in the corner.
She has already conducted a more detailed examination of the body, and today's work can be regarded as coming to an end.
"Just do as you say, I'll go through the formalities now." Yu Zijiang nodded, turned around and walked out of the strange little room of the funeral parlor.
Zhang Yun was still carrying out related aftermath work in the funeral home, while Yu Zijiang and Tao Lin returned to the branch office first.
The town was not big, and it was only a few minutes' drive from the funeral home to the branch. Tao Lin tilted his head and looked out the car window along the way, carefully observing the situation along the way.
The infrastructure in rural areas is not very complete. Apart from surveillance cameras above the traffic lights, there is no other equipment.
"The surveillance around here is usually concentrated in the town. There are no cameras when you leave the town and go into the mountains. However, there are many cars entering the mountains every day. Even if we get the approximate time of death of the deceased, I can't tell which car has any clues.
." Yu Zijiang glanced at Tao Lin with his peripheral vision and knew what he was thinking.
"You don't have to worry. Duan Xiao is in the bureau. I don't believe that we can't show any flaws in our hands." He sighed.
"It's too late to return to the bureau today. We have to meet Duan Xiao tomorrow." Tao Lin said with his arms folded.
As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Zijiang's car swayed around a corner in the alley and stopped at the door of the branch.
Team Luo of the branch office had prepared various handover materials in advance. It didn't take much time for Yu Zijiang and Tao Lin to grab two folders and walk out of the bureau again.
"After the body was discovered, the police officers from the branch visited the people near the pine forest. Two days passed and no results were found. Fortunately, you are here. The case will be transferred to you as soon as possible so that the family of the deceased can be provided as soon as possible.
Chapter completed!
