Chapter 662 Corpses floating on the sea (3)
He got up, got dressed, and went to open the door. The waiter said urgently: "Officer Jiang, I'm sorry to disturb you... A tourist found a body when he went to watch the sunrise in the morning, so Manager Wen asked me to come and invite you. Go and have a look…”

As soon as Jiang Yiming heard that there was a corpse at the beach, he went to the bathroom to wash up quickly and then walked out. Song Wanqing opened her sleepy eyes and asked him what the waiter wanted to see him for.Jiang Yiming briefly explained the situation to her and told her to continue sleeping and not go to the beach to see the bodies.He was afraid that she would have a bad psychological reaction after reading it.Song Wanqing agreed, then turned over and continued dreaming.

At this time, it was exactly 6 o'clock in the morning. The golden sun slowly rose from the sea level, shining with warm and soft light, dyeing the sea surface in the distance into a golden color. When the waves surged, the golden light was crushed into countless pieces. The golden sands are like a dreamland, with seagulls flying freely among the waves and singing softly.

Because there are not many tourists, the seaside is a quiet scene. Who would have thought that on such a beautiful morning, news of death would come, disturbing Jiang Yiming's sweet dreams.He stretched his body, got rid of the tiredness from drinking love with Song Wanqing last night, and walked towards the seaside.

There is a beach about 1 mile long and 50 meters wide in the east of Jindao. The beach is exposed with uneven rocks and occupies a quarter of the entire beach. It is not an ideal beach.There were seven or eight people gathered on the beach, two of whom were security guards from Jindao Travel Company, and the others were tourists.

Jiang Yiming walked up and pushed them aside. A completely naked female corpse appeared in front of him. Her body had been swollen and whitened by sea water.The body was clamped on a rock on its back. It must have been stranded on the beach at night when the tide was low. Because there was a depression in the rock, the body was caught in the depression. The tide had not started to rise yet, so the body had not been floated away.

Jiang Yiming revealed his identity to everyone, told them to step back, and told them not to spread the news after they returned, so as not to cause uneasiness or onlookers among tourists, thereby damaging the scene, and at the same time bringing negative consequences to Jindao's tourism industry. Influence.

Jiang Yiming carefully examined the corpse and found no life-related injuries on the deceased. Life-related injuries include many aspects. The most commonly used one is to see whether the wounds on the corpse were formed before death or after death.An experienced forensic scientist can tell the difference with the naked eye.The wound bleeds a lot before death and easily infiltrates into the soft tissue. The color of the tissue is dark red and concentrated, but becomes lighter after death.

However, Jiang Yiming was not sure whether the deceased's injuries were during life or after death, because after being soaked in sea water, the scars and bruises would be diluted or even disappeared. He could only wait for Luo to come in before he could be sure.Jiang Yiming suspected that this was a murder rather than a suicide.

Because the average person who commits suicide by jumping into the sea will not take off her clothes and jump into the sea, especially a woman, she absolutely does not want her naked body to be seen by everyone after her death. This is the common psychology of every woman, but there are exceptions, that is, she wants to This is a way to express her transformation.

There are also members of cult organizations who will commit suicide by jumping into the sea naked. The leader will encourage believers to collectively or individually commit suicide by jumping into the sea naked to express their loyalty to the leader. In the winter of 2011, 11 women committed suicide in the nude on the east coast of Miami. After investigation, it was found that they were instigated by the leader of a cult.

Jiang Yiming took out his mobile phone and wanted to call everyone. However, if he thought about it, everyone's vacation would be canceled again after making a call, and because it was still uncertain whether the deceased was a suicide or a murder, he thought for a while and felt that life was at stake. Everyone must be called to investigate, otherwise, he would feel bad.

So, he called Luo Jin first, and then called others.They did not complain at all about him screwing up the hard-earned vacation, but with excitement, they promised to arrive immediately, which moved Jiang Yiming.

An hour later, everyone in the crime team arrived at the scene, sealed off the scene, laid out the investigation steps, put on equipment, and entered the scene.

In fact, there is no way to find valuable clues at the scene. This is the second scene, or even the third scene. All traces have been washed away by the sea. This kind of "sea-floating" corpse is the biggest headache for forensic doctors and criminal police.

The corpse was not wearing any clothes. The chest and abdomen of the corpse were swollen, the face was fat and swollen, and there was a large amount of drowning fluid in the stomach, which had doubled in size.The facial features of the corpse were deformed, but it could be seen that it was that of a young woman.The corpse had begun to decay, emitting a stench that penetrated everyone's nostrils through the thick masks.

Luo Jin knelt down to examine the body, looked at it for a while and said: "The deceased's nails were blue and purple, there was foam near the mouth and nose, and there was petechial bleeding in the palpebral conjunctiva, mucous membrane, and serosa. The skin was pale, and the spots on the corpse were light and the position of the spots was not fixed. , rigor mortis occurs early, and one should die from drowning.”

After a while, Luo Jin added: "Because cold water stimulates the respiratory mucosa to secrete a large amount of mucus, the mucus, drowning fluid and air are mixed and stirred with each other through violent breathing movements, resulting in a large amount of small and uniform white foam, which we call: mushroom-like Foam, this is a life reaction. It is extremely stable because it is rich in mucus and is not easily destroyed by sea water."

"Approximately how long has the deceased been dead?" Jiang Yiming asked habitually.

"If a drowned corpse is immersed in water for several days, the skin and muscles will shrink and change, and the damage will be caused by collision with hard objects in the water. It can be seen that the skin of her hands and feet, especially the skin on the palms and soles, is wrinkled, pale, and soaked. This situation occurs after entering the water. It started to appear within a few hours, and shrank significantly after 24 to 48 hours, so I think the deceased died within 36 to 42 hours."

"Can you be more clear?"

"Captain Jiang, my judgment is bold enough. Generally, forensic doctors will judge that she died within 30 hours to 46 hours. If an autopsy is performed, it may be shorter. If we conduct an in-depth visit, we can know the time before her death. Whatever you eat will shorten the time to death."

"Do you think it was suicide or homicide?"

"All the injuries on the deceased's body are not life-related and should have been caused after death, such as scratches and stab wounds by hard objects. I think the deceased committed suicide by jumping into the sea, or was pushed into the sea and drowned. It is more likely that he committed suicide. The possibility of homicide is low.”

"The deceased did not have any belongings on him, such as clothes, shoes, pants, bracelets, earrings, watches, rings, etc. This does not look like a suicide, but more like a special behavior made by the murderer to prevent us from finding the source of the body. I think It may be a homicide." "If it was a homicide, the murderer must first push her into the sea, wait for her to drown, and then take off her clothes, pants and shoes, so that there will be no life-related injuries. This murderer is also calm enough. With excellent anti-detection capabilities, we have encountered a master again.”

"I hope it was someone who committed suicide or fell into the water. Otherwise, everyone's vacation will be ruined." Jiang Yiming was a little apologetic.

"Compared with a life and a vacation, what is a vacation?" Luo Jin is a workaholic. To him, without work, it is like there is something missing around him. Of course, his fanatical work attitude has also brought him a lot of honors. The only regret is that I don’t have much time to fall in love.

Jiang Yiming admires him very much. He is proud that the team has an elite like him.

Three days later, Luo Jin's autopsy report came out, and everyone sat together for a meeting.

“死者死于离案发时间之前的36小时到42小时之间，也就是2017年10月12日12点到18点之间，死者的胃内容物才消化四分之一，所以，我更倾向死于12日13点到14点之间。”

"What is the age, weight and height of the deceased?" Jiang Yiming asked Luo Jin.

"Based on the bone age of the deceased, the deceased was about 40 years old, weighed about 42 kilograms, and was 162 centimeters tall. He had worn earrings, bracelets, rings, etc. His nails were carefully repaired and painted with nail polish. After testing, he was Christian ·Louboutin's Carrot CL limited edition rhinestone nail polish, this nail polish is not affordable for ordinary people, a bottle costs about 8000 yuan."

"Are there any signs of sexual assault?"

"I did a vaginal smear test and found that the deceased had sexual intercourse before death and a lot of sperm was detected. This is very lucky. The deceased was soaked in seawater for nearly 40 hours and the semen in the vagina has not been washed away. "

"This is great. After catching the murderer, we can convict the murderer just by relying on the semen." Xiao Ke said excitedly.

"No, it can only mean that the suspect had sex with the deceased. It cannot be confirmed that the suspect is the murderer, because there are no abrasions on the vulva and vagina of the deceased. This means that the deceased voluntarily had sex with the suspect, and it was not rape." Luo Jin rebutted Xiao Ke.

"You're right, but at least the owner of the semen can be investigated as a suspect."

"Our main goal now is to find the source of the body before we can conduct an in-depth investigation."

"Luo Jin, are you sure that the deceased was not injured before his death?"

"No, all the scars on her body were caused after death."

"This is easy to handle, then we can infer that the deceased committed suicide at the beach, or was pushed into the sea and drowned."

"Yes, the deceased was probably tricked to the beach by someone close to him. After the two had sex, he was pushed into the sea and drowned by the suspect. After his death, the suspect stripped off his clothes and took away his earrings, watches and rings. If so, The homicide should be a murder of love or a murder of wealth."

"How many milliliters of drowning fluid was in the deceased's stomach?"

"6100 ml, what's wrong, Captain Jiang, did you think of something?" Luo Jin felt a little strange that Jiang Yiming would ask such a professional question.

"Nothing. Is the drowning fluid in the deceased's stomach seawater or freshwater?"

"It's all sea water. Is there a difference between sea water and fresh water?" Luo Jin asked again.
