Advocate for the deceased

Chapter 22 The People in the Pond (2)

Before the words fell, there was a sound of sudden braking, and Zhou Hai knew that the frogman had arrived.

"Captain Huang, please do your work first. I'll go and see the deceased."

Zhou Hai carried the bulky survey box and walked down the stone steps.

This place is about eight meters deep from the edge of the pond. The closer to the water surface, the more obvious the smell of corpses.

The fat man had pharyngitis, and the stench made him retch.

Although it was a bit unbearable to have mint ginger candy in his mouth, he still insisted on following Zhou Hai down.

walk to the water's edge,

The rope wrapped by the silver-white tarpaulin was tied to the side of the water pump to prevent it from drifting away. Zhou Hai opened the broken corner of the tarpaulin and looked.

There are no less than two layers of waterproof cloth on the outside, and the texture is strong. The tied rope is also a red and blue outdoor safety rope with a ring in the shape of a chicken heart on the end of the rope.

This is a relatively strong rope that is extremely resistant to fraying.

However, the end of the rope floating in the water gradually floated out, Zhou Hai stretched out his hand and pulled it up. There was a ring-shaped noose, and there was nothing underneath.

"There should be objects like stones falling below, but during the process of pumping water, a pull was formed, and the rope and the falling objects were separated.

Because of this, the corpse was sucked up. "

The foot of the corpse has become a drowning glove【1】.

Zhou Hai just lifted the tarp, and the corpse smell intensified. Looking at the binding state of the ropes, Zhou Hai stopped moving.

"Fatty, ask someone to transport it back and then dissect it. If it is opened here, it cannot be transported back."

The fat man has been working for three years, and he has come into contact with many, many 'river drifting', 'sea drifting', and 'road falling'.

After all, the southeast is a city near the sea, and there are many people who can't think about it, and they throw themselves into the sea and the river.

If possible, he really wants to spread it out. People who die in the water are usually horrible when they are found, so don't choose this way of death.

However, such a highly corrupt 'giant view' [2] is extremely rare.

Even if Zhou Hai didn't say it, he knew that this was definitely not the first scene.

All traces in the water are waiting for the progress of the frogman.

Enduring the feeling that he might vomit at any time, the fat man nodded vigorously.

"I'm going to find someone.

By the way, Team Huang, I will send you two photos of rut marks on your mobile phone, which were just found on the grass by the pond, and the time is five to seven days. "

Captain Huang waved his hand to stop Fatty's movement.

He had already helped to contact the funeral car for the funeral home. After all, no one wanted to do this job. No matter how it was wrapped, the car would not be usable for at least a week.

That kind of corpse smell can invade all objects, and there is nowhere to hide.

Without exchanging too many pleasantries, Zhou Hai spoke directly to Captain Huang.

"This should be the scene of the dumping of corpses.

There won't be much evidence, let me know when the results of the frogmen come out.

As for the photos, let's compare both. "

Team Huang stopped Zhou Hai.

"I'll go with you to have an autopsy. I'll be notified as soon as the results come out."

Several people quickly returned to the center and changed into professional clothes.

Zhou Hai contributed a bottle of high-purity peppermint oil he brought back from abroad.

A few people smeared it under the nose, and the chilly and pungent feeling was not pleasant, but compared with the smell of corpses, it felt like being in heaven.

The corpse has been transported over.

That smell, smelling eight hundred miles away from the wind, really makes one's scalp tingle.

The carrying personnel took less than a minute to lift the corpse and send it to the fourth dissecting room dedicated to highly decayed corpses.

The staff in the hall opened all the front and rear doors and fanned them with paper shells, hoping to dispel the smell quickly.

Even though the deodorization and ventilation equipment in the dissecting room is perfect, the smell is really unbearable.

Fatty held up a SLR camera and took pictures of the outer packing and knots of the corpse from beginning to end. Xiao Liang was beside him helping him paste the ruler.

But Zhou Hai found that Xiao Liang's gas mask was actually hanging around his neck.

"Xiao Liang, why don't you wear your gas mask?"

Xiaoliang raised his head in embarrassment.

"Brother Hai!
I have severe rhinitis and can't smell any bad smell, but it's difficult to breathe when I wear a mask. "

In an instant, Zhou Hai's face darkened.

"You think I'm joking with you.

This is actual work, not a classroom for discussion, and the question of whether it stinks or not is secondary.

There are a lot of toxins in the body odor, and wearing a mask can provide proper protection.

This also needs me to explain to you? "

Xiaoliang was dumbfounded for a moment, Zhou Hai had never been so strict before, so scared that he quickly put on the mask quickly.

Only then did Zhou Hai return to the dissecting table, cut the rope, and tried to follow the folding direction of the package, and removed the tarpaulin wrapped outside.

When the outermost silver-white tarpaulin was removed, Zhou Hai discovered the mystery.

"What, like a tent?"

The fat man nodded.

"Like, let's see if there's a brand logo."

As he said that, he spread the tarpaulin of the outer packaging on a nearby operating table, and checked it carefully.

It's a pity that the edges of the entire tarp have been trimmed, and the size and shape are just right to wrap the corpse.

The fat man frowned, still unwilling to give up.

After spraying the inside of the tarp with a reagent, several palm prints and incomplete fingerprints really appeared around the area.

Although it is not clear enough, it still makes the fat man very happy.

No nonsense, quickly extract and take pictures.

After dealing with this side, Zhou Hai had already removed the second layer of tarpaulin. With this layer of tarpaulin removed, Team Leader Huang retched instantly.

Gas masks can protect against harmful gases, but not odors.

No matter how good the exhaust system is here, it's just a word stink.

"Xiao Liang, turn up the exhaust system by a gear!"

"it is good."

The fat man quickly cooperated and took pictures of the corpse.

Only then did everyone discover that the deceased was wearing a black autumn jacket, a royal blue turtleneck sweater, a pair of long johns of the same color and black hiking pants.

The belt was broken, and the tops were all piled up under the armpits.

The trousers had been ripped open, the abdomen was swollen like a pregnant woman, and the dark green vein network under the abdomen was clearly visible.

As if there was no interference, Zhou Hai and Xiao Liang removed the deceased's clothes.

However, the touch of his hands made Xiao Liang tremble all over.

The body of the deceased seemed to be coated with a layer of grease, soft and creamy, and a piece of flesh would fall off with a little force.

Zhou Hai continued to lean over to observe the corpse carefully, and asked Xiao Liang to take notes while talking.

"Dead man,
Height 1.75,

Without any identity documents or markers on him,

No obvious trauma on the body surface,
The corpse spots are light.

But~
In the groin on the right side of the deceased,

found a scar,
It should be under the age of five,
Had hernia surgery

Some letters are tattooed on it.

The dead man's eyes are open and bulging,

protruding tongue,
Mouth and nose full of vomit,
Drowning glove and glove form clearly,
And accompanied by off-month workers
The corpse is highly decomposed.

Now, the outdoor temperature can reach 40 degrees during the day, and the lowest temperature at night is not lower than 29 degrees. The temperature in the water is slightly lower, depending on the degree of corruption of the corpse.

It is estimated that the time for the corpse to be thrown in the water is between five and seven days. "

Xiao Liang paused slightly, Zhou Hai said the time of throwing the body, not the time of death.

Zhou Hai continued without raising his eyes.

"Based on the average temperature in the southeast and the clothing of the deceased.

The season of death of the deceased should be in late winter and early spring, or late autumn and early winter. "

Team Huang's eyes lit up.

"Forensic Doctor Zhou, you mean that the deceased was stored in a freezer.

It was only five to seven days ago that the body was thrown into this pond? "

--------

【1】Drowning Gloves:
One of the signs of decayed corpses in water is that the skin of the hands and feet swells and falls off like a sleeve.

Due to the long-term immersion of the corpse in water (1 week in summer and 2-3 weeks in winter), coupled with autolysis and decay, the epidermis and dermis of the hands and feet of the corpse are separated, and the nails (toes) fall off, forming a glove or a glove-like desquamation. Known as "drowning gloves", "drowning gloves".

【2】Giant view: (bloated cadaver/giant cadaver), a corpse phenomenon.

After a person dies, due to the termination of the life process, the corrupt bacteria that parasitized in the human body during the living state lose the control of the human immune system and grow and reproduce crazily.

These staggering numbers of spoilage bacteria can produce a large amount of dirty green spoilage gas.These corrupt gases fill the human body.

The giant view is a highly decomposed corpse, because its soft tissue is full of putrid gas, its face is swollen, its eyeballs are protruding, its lips are enlarged and everted, its tongue sticks out, its chest and abdomen bulge, its abdominal wall is tight, its limbs are thickened, and its skin is discolored. Dirty green and corrupt venous networks are more common, and the subcutaneous tissue and muscles are emphysema-like.

The skin of some hands and feet can fall off in the shape of gloves and socks, and the entire corpse swells and swells into giants, making it difficult to recognize its appearance before death.This phenomenon is called corrupt giant view.
