Advocate for the deceased

Chapter 65 Who is next? (3)
Everyone looked up, and all the headlights shone on the manhole cover above.

The long hair hanging down was constantly fluttering in the air, and a woman's head suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

The dredging master sat down in the water with a 'plop'.

"Ah~"

Although Chu Menghan didn't shout out, he was startled by such a scene, and subconsciously grabbed Zhou Hai's arm.

Zhou Hai didn't shake off Chu Menghan's hand, but patted her on the back.

"It's okay, I'll go up and have a look!"

"you?"

"Well, you wait below, I'll climb up to have a look."

Chu Menghan wanted to stop him, but he swallowed the words.

"You~
Be careful~”

Zhou Hai looked back at her.

"You use headlamps to illuminate me, and Xiao Liang gives me a pair of scissors."

Putting the scissors in the arm pocket of the survey suit, Zhou Hai grabbed the simple iron stairs on the wall and climbed up step by step.

This upward shaft was seven or eight meters above the water surface. Zhou Hai finally climbed to the top, and with the shaking of the top shaft cover, the human head shook.

Zhou Hai stretched out his hand to probe, and the murderer actually used the long hair of the deceased as a rope, stepped over a horizontal anti-fall steel bar above, and tied it into a double-wrapped knot.

Zhou Hai grabbed the stairs with his right hand, and pulled out the scissors with his left hand to cut off the hair on one side. The one-handed operation in the air was very exhausting, but after a while, Zhou Hai's body was already covered with sweat.

Finally finished cutting, Zhou Hai came down with the head, and Xiao Liang stretched out his hand to take it.

Zhou Hai heaved a sigh of relief and handed it over to him.

It is easier to find the source of the corpse with the head. Just thinking about this, Xiao Liang seemed to kick something, holding the evidence bag in one hand, and stretched into the mud with the other hand to pull, and another upper body part was picked up.

Zhou Hai watched Xiao Liang's movements and gave a thumbs up.

"Great!"

The big investigator behind Chu Menghan lifted the basket, Xiao Liang put the torso and the head of the deceased inside, and the people behind carried the basket out the same way.

Zhou Hai patted the dredging master leaning against the wall panting.

"Master, do you know where this mouth is on the ground?"

"Know!"

"Chu Detachment, let people wear plain clothes and follow the master up, find this drain, but don't touch it, just mark it around.

Then look for the surrounding monitoring, and now you can check the monitoring within two to seven days. "

"it is good!

But you won't go up? "

Zhou Hai shook his head.

"The two parts of the torso and the head have been found. I'll see if I find anything else. If not, all the mud below will have to be sieved."

As soon as Zhou Hai's words fell, all the policemen behind him said "Ah~".

Chu Menghan turned around and glanced at the crowd.

"I can't talk, I'll change people now!"

The crowd fell silent, Zhou Hai knew how difficult the job was, so he and Xiao Liang still stood side by side at the bottom of the wellhead and bent over to touch it.

The salvage work was not finished until ten o'clock in the evening.

They found human bones in both passages, on the side of the lunatic and the fat man, found parts of a torso and limbs, and a skull.

Zhou Hai and Xiao Liang's group found two torsos, a head, and most of the bones of the limbs.

These body parts and bones were immediately sent back to the center for DNA collection and comparison, and the bones discovered by the lunatics were temporarily named A dead, and Zhou Hai and his team were named B dead.

The surrounding trash cans and recycle bins have all been cleaned and checked, but nothing is found. After all, it has been nearly a week since the deceased of B was killed, so it is difficult to find any traces.

Chu Menghan left first. She was in a hurry to check the surrounding surveillance video, and she needed to make arrangements.

Now we know a specific dumping port, but on the side of the pedestrian street, we can only draw a suspicious distance of 400 meters. Fortunately, this is a surveillance-intensive area, and most of the surrounding shops have installed surveillance cameras.

However, investigation and monitoring is indeed a more troublesome job, there is no shortcut, and they need to be checked one by one, so Chu Menghan can only lead someone to start the investigation.

The next day, at 05:30 in the morning.

When Zhou Hai came to the center, he didn't expect the lunatic to be earlier, and the two looked at each other with understanding.

This morning's 10.8 project meeting, according to Chu Menghan's usual style, must be held in the center, and everything has no clue.

"Have the body parts been taken out?"

The madman shrugged and spread his hands.

"Just after taking out the body parts and bones, you came in."

Zhou Hai had already put on the isolation suit and put on the goggles for anatomy.

"Then let's start!"

The two gradually pieced together these bones and body parts on two platforms, and the bones of the two deceased were not complete.

The No. A skeleton was discovered by the lunatics in the direction of the pedestrian street. This skeleton was all boneless.

The bones and body parts of No. B were discovered by Zhou Hai and his colleagues in the direction of the residential area. The head and torso were basically intact, and the limbs were basically skeletalized.

However, among all the skeletons, there were no bones or stumps of hands or feet.

Moreover, B's torso is basically complete, while his limbs are basically ossified.

The lunatic looked puzzled.

"B The deceased judged the time of death from the torso, it was three to five days, right?

But why did the limbs become ossified? "

Zhou Hai raised his eyes and glanced at the lunatic.

"This shows that after the dead body was dismembered, the musculature of the limbs and hands and feet were removed."

"What about the meat?

Chopped?
lost?
Feed the dog? "

Zhou Hai pondered for a moment.

"Maybe this is a search direction, let Chu Menghan look at the communities within the three ranges, have any residents reported anything unusual recently?
Like sewer smell?

Or the water is not smooth?

Or stray cats and dogs gather around! "

The lunatic instantly understood what Zhou Hai meant, and quickly called Chu Meiren.

Moments back.

"Let's look at the deceased number A first."

Zhou Hai grabbed the skull of the deceased No. A. The skull was intact and there was no trauma, but the lack of mandible and hyoid bone could not determine whether the deceased died of suffocation.

The few remaining cervical vertebrae were picked up by Zhou Hai. Through the magnifying glass, he could easily see the cuts on two cervical vertebrae, one of which had left a deep groove.

"It's so deep, it looks like it was left by a cut while dismembering the corpse."

"Not necessarily. In this section, we will do bone grinding [1] in a while, and we will observe in detail."

Putting down the cervical spine, the two checked the remaining bones of the deceased. Except for the mottled cut marks on the first femur and humerus, they found nothing new.

At this time, Fatty and Xiaoliang pushed the door and came in.

"I said you two didn't go home?
I thought Xiaoliang and Xiaoliang would arrive first, but I didn't expect you to come earlier. "

The madman smiled.

"This case tortured me so much that I couldn't sleep. I could smell the stench on my body as soon as I lay down. I simply didn't sleep. I wanted to come over early to take a look, but when we came here, our heads came."

"Xiao Liang used this cervical vertebra as a bone grinder, and I will observe it later."

The addition of those two made their speed a lot faster. After all, Fatty's photography skills are extremely professional, and Xiao Liang can do these extremely delicate tasks very well.

The lunatic pointed to the slash mark on the femur of the deceased No. A, with a puzzled expression on his face.

"The cervical spine is cut so deep, why does it lose strength when it reaches the femur?

Could it be that the murderer is not alone? "

------------

[1] Bone grinding slices: A 1mm-thick piece of bone is cut off according to the cross-section, and evenly ground with a fine whetstone until the bone slices are ground into newsprint-like thickness.

Then after a series of dehydration, transparent, fixed on the glass slide, observe the required morphological characteristics with a microscope.

Through the observation of bone grinding slices, the number of bone units in the bone cortex, the number of old bone units, the thickness of the outer ring bone plate, and the number of non-Hafferian tubes were examined to determine the type and age of the bone.

In terms of forensic science, whether there are blood cells in the bone grinding plate can be used to determine whether the wound is a wound during life or after death.
