Serious Crime Unit 1

Chapter 722 Drowning (2)
Qu Changshui smiled bitterly, nodded, took out his mobile phone, dialed Jiang Yiming's number, and explained to Jiang Yiming what happened.Jiang Yiming promised to send someone to investigate the scene immediately and asked him to stay there to persuade the family members of the deceased to leave the scene.

Half an hour later, all members of the No. 1 Crime Team arrived and sealed off the scene. Wu Jiang and Xiao Ke extracted the footprints at the scene. Because the scene was a moist river beach mixed with sand, the footprints were very clear, making it easier to work.

After checking the corpse, Luo Jin said to Jiang Yiming: "Captain Jiang, the deceased is a typical sign of drowning. Drowning is a death of asphyxiation, so fresh corpses have general signs of asphyxiation, that is, the blood in the whole body does not coagulate; the palpebral conjunctiva, mucous membrane, and serous membrane Petechiae bleeding. There are also mushroom-like foam, goose skin-like skin on the nose and mouth, bloated belly, etc." Luo Jin started to popularize Jiang Yiming's science knowledge as if he was suffering from obsessive-compulsive disorder again.

"Why are there no body spots? Even light body spots?" Jiang Yiming knew that the deceased had been dead for nearly three hours and the body spots had begun to form.

"The slow appearance of body spots caused by drowning is due to the fact that the body is floating in the water and its position is not fixed; the second reason is that the blood vessels in the skin are constricted and the blood coagulates in the blood vessels. In addition, the water temperature of the river is very low, so the body spots do not appear so quickly. "

Jiang Yiming nodded, then squatted down, took away the deceased's right hand, observed it carefully for a while, and asked: "Why is there no foreign matter in the gaps between the deceased's nails? Under normal circumstances, people who drown in water usually have their fists clenched, with water plants and water in their fists." Sand, or fibers from his own clothes, etc., but his hands are clean and free of any foreign matter."

"Not necessarily. The average water depth of Qianjiang River is nearly 6 meters. The deceased could swim, but because he was wearing heavy clothes and pants, he kept struggling in the water, floating up and sinking. He lost consciousness while floating up and down. And then died, and then sank to the bottom of the river. At this time, he no longer had the strength to grasp the sand at the bottom of the river."

"Do you think it was an accidental drowning, or murder?"

"Now it looks like an accidental drowning, because I didn't see any obvious resistance injuries on his hands, feet or stomach. If he is taken back for autopsy, there may be new findings."

Jiang Yiming thought for a while, then walked to Shen Yiran and saw her lying on the ground, holding a big stone tightly with both hands, as if it was her son.

"Sister Shen, do you want to avenge your son?" Jiang Yiming squatted down and asked, looking at the tears and snot on her face.

"Of course I did. My son must have been killed." She said firmly. She cried for more than three hours and her voice was hoarse.

"Okay, can you please sit up and talk to me?"

She glanced at Jiang Yiming. She seemed to get strength from his eyes, so she got up and sat on the big rock. She lowered her head and stared blankly at the ground. Her long hair was disheveled, like a crazy woman. It seems that I can't feel the outside world.

"What is Fang Deng doing here?"

"Come fishing, he likes fishing, and he likes fishing here the most." She raised her head and looked at Jiang Yiming helplessly.

"When did you come? What kind of transportation did you use?"

"I had dinner before 7 o'clock this morning. He went out on an electric bicycle. He usually rides an electric bicycle when he goes out... How could I have thought that today would be the last time I make breakfast for him... Oh my god, why are you Blind, I will take away my beloved..." She cried bitterly again, but because her voice was hoarse, it didn't sound like she was crying, but like a roar.

"Oh? Doesn't he have a companion? Generally speaking, people who like fishing have companions."

"No, he is introverted and likes to be alone. He especially likes fishing alone. He said that it feels very beautiful."

"You think he was killed. Does he have any enemies?"

"I don't know. He is relatively cowardly and should not offend others."

"Did you know that he swam in rivers, lakes and seas?"

"He has never been to swim in rivers or rivers, but he has been to swim in the sea. However, he has never dared to stay away from the coast. He said that his swimming level is not good enough and his physical strength is not good enough. Therefore, the place where he goes to swim most often is in our village. swimming pool.”

"Okay, I understand. Thank you for your cooperation. Please tell me your phone number and we will give you a clear answer. However, only after an autopsy can we know whether Fang Dengtai was murdered or accidentally drowned."

She nodded and gave Jiang Yiming her mobile phone number.After he saved the number in his mobile phone, he walked towards the scene. He asked Qu Changshui if he had seen the deceased's fishing rod?He said he didn't see it.Fishing rods are made of metal and will generally sink into nearby waters. Because the water flow in the river is slow, it is impossible for the fishing rods to flow away and the fishing rods must be found.Thinking of this, Jiang Yiming reached out to unbutton his clothes. He was very good at water and had no problem diving into the water to find the fishing rod. The only thing was that the water was too cold and he might catch a cold.

"Captain Jiang, what do you want to do?" Xiao Ke ran over and asked.

Jiang Yiming didn't answer him because once he told him his purpose, Xiao Ke would rush to the water to find the fishing rod. Therefore, he didn't answer Xiao Ke. He quickly took off his clothes and pants, leaving only his underwear. , originally he wanted to take off his underwear, but suddenly realized that Lu Yingying was there and he didn't dare to take them off, so he jumped into the water.

Jiang Yiming could swim in the water for 100 seconds without needing to breathe, and he was very fast. He dived to the bottom of the water, and after searching for 90 seconds, he didn't see the fishing rod, so he surfaced to breathe. After changing, he dived back into the water. This time he soon saw a fishing rod sinking there. He swam toward the fishing rod, grabbed the fishing rod, and quickly surfaced.

Xiao Ke took Jiang Yiming's fishing rod and told him to quickly find a place to change clothes. Qu Changshui hugged Jiang Yiming's clothes and pulled him towards a dense reed.

Xiao Ke slowly pulled the fishing rod back. Because the fishing line was still tied to the fishing rod, there might be fish on the hook, so he had to pull it slowly to avoid tearing off the fish on the hook.When Xiao Ke took back the fishing rod, he was caught by the weight on the end of the fishhook.

Xiao Ke suspected that there was a big fish on the hook, so he moved even slower. When he completely retracted the fishing rod, he saw a big bass biting the hook and it was already dead.Xiao Ke lifted the bass to the river beach. Jiang Yiming had already changed his clothes and ran up to watch with Qu Changshui.

"Hey, this is a bass, almost 15 pounds. How can there be such a big bass in the Qianjiang River?" Qu Changshui felt strange, because he was familiar with the waters in the lower reaches of the Qianjiang River and rarely saw anyone fishing. To such a big bass.

"Qusuo, are you sure there are no such big bass in Qianjiang?" Jiang Yiming didn't know much about Qianjiang's aquatic products.

"I...I'm not sure, but I've never heard of anyone catching such a big bass in the Qianjiang River. However, it's easy to know. Just call the president of our district or city fishing association and ask For a moment, he should know."

"Do you know them?"

"Well, I know Chi Yangchun, the president of the Jiangnan District Fishing Association. Do you want to call him and ask him?"

"Okay, call him right away and ask him about the situation."

Qu Changshui took out his mobile phone and called Chi Yangchun. The call was quickly connected. Chi Yangchun said that there are rarely such big bass in Qianjiang River, but it does not mean that there are none. The chance of catching such a big bass is less than 0.5 %, such a large bass is either a sea bass or a farmed bass.

Qu Changshui relayed the situation to Jiang Yiming. Jiang Yiming felt that the probability of Fang being murdered on stage had suddenly increased. However, since there was a 0.5% probability, there was a possibility of accidental drowning.After everyone inspected the scene, they brought Fang Dengtai’s body back to the Municipal Bureau’s Forensic Center to prepare for the autopsy.

On the way back to the team, Jiang Yiming asked Luo Jin: "Qu Suo and I asked the president of the Fishing Association, and he said that it is very unlikely to catch a 15-pound bass in the Qianjiang River. Such a big bass is usually a sea bass." Or farmed bass, let’s assume that the murderer is a bass bought from the wet market, then through the dissection of the bass, we should be able to know whether it is a bass from the Qianjiang River, right?”

"Of course, freshwater bass, river bass and seawater are completely different in many trace elements. The most obvious component is salt. Freshwater has no salt, Qianjiang water has a small amount of salt, and seawater contains a lot of salt. Therefore, this can be used to distinguish them. .”

"This is great. If it can be proven that it was not a bass raised in the Qianjiang River, then we can determine whether Fang Denggai was murdered. There is no way that a bass raised in the sea or a pond ran into the Qianjiang River and was killed by Fang Dengtai. Can you catch it on stage?"

"This is almost impossible. Sea bass are used to eating seawater and will not go upstream and run into the front river. If it was murder, how did the murderer do it?"

"It's very simple. When Fang Dengtai was fishing, the murderer wore diving equipment and brought the bass to the water where the incident occurred. In the water, he hung the mouth of the bass on Fang Dengtai's fishhook. Fang Dengtai saw the fishing rod drooping and knew there was a big fish. Taking the bait, he pulled hard on the fishing rod, but it became heavier and heavier because the murderer grabbed the tail of the fishing rod. Fang Dengtai was definitely not willing to let the big fish he finally caught escape, so he pulled hard on the fishing rod, and the murderer pulled harder. Shit, Fang Deng was caught off guard on stage and fell into the water.

"After he fell into the water, the murderer quickly grabbed his feet and sank into the water. Only then did Fang Dengtai realize that he had fallen into a trap, so he struggled desperately. However, due to the poor water quality and the huge gap in strength between him and the murderer, Fang Dengtai realized that he had fallen into a trap. He was slowly dragged to the bottom of the river until he lost consciousness due to lack of oxygen, and then his hands were released, allowing him to be drifted by the river into the waters below."

"But we didn't find any foreign objects in the gaps between Fang Deng's nails, and we didn't find injuries from the fight. Why?" Luo Jin was a little puzzled.
