Advocate for the deceased

Chapter 9 The Girl in the Forest (1)

Nov. 2014, 6

6:30 in the morning
Forest Park, XC District, Southeast City, a secluded forest near the seaside.

In the grass far away, a slender white leg was exposed.

There was a knife wound on it, purple-black blood stains, thick white bones, and pale skin, forming a strong visual impact. Judging from the shape of the legs, this was a young female deceased.

Zhou Hai's footsteps did not stop, and he walked up to him carrying the survey box.

Xiao Liang, an intern forensic doctor, followed closely in his footsteps.

Fatty, the trace inspector behind him, stumbled and took a few steps forward, stabilized his body and raised his head to see the situation in front of him, and let out an exclamation.

"I'll go, girl!"

Walking to the cordon, Liu Yong, Deputy Chief Liu, who was in charge of criminal investigation, had already walked over.

Waving at them, his flesh-colored latex gloves were shockingly blood-colored.

"Forensic Doctor Zhou, your team came very quickly!"

Zhou Hai nodded, "Ju Liu is good, can you tell me about the situation at the scene?"

Director Liu led his people to the front, "Let Wang Xuchao, Wang Xuchao of the XC District, introduce the details. They arrived at the scene first."

A burly black-faced man agreed, opened the small book with a serious face and introduced.

"It was Old Man Wang and his wife who were picking up waste in this park who called the police.

It rained all day yesterday, and it didn't stop until almost four o'clock, so they didn't go out. They arrived at the park at less than 04:30 this morning.

After walking for more than ten minutes, we came to the woods above the beach.

After all, this is the place where couples go on the most dates, and it's easy to find bottles and the occasional money.

Walking to the woods, old man Wang saw a leg protruding from the grass, and thought he was wrong.

After walking a few steps, I found that it was a dead man who had been hacked beyond recognition and was being eaten by a group of wild dogs. He was so frightened that he turned around and ran away, so he called the police.

I happened to be on duty last night. I heard that there was a murder case, so I hurriedly led the team over.

After seeing the situation, I reported to Director Liu, who told the command center to send your second team over. "

The fat man Xu Biao behind him poked his head, and an ominous premonition was written all over his face.

"Is the damage at the scene serious?"

Team Wang nodded, "Seriously!
There were also a dozen wild dogs snooping around when we arrived. "

"I'll go take a look first!"

The fat man had already changed into his survey suit and walked over with the survey box. Zhou Hai could only wait for Xu Biao to open the passage before carrying out his corpse watch and on-site survey.

Zhou Hai and Liang Honggang also started changing their costumes.

"Has the source of the corpse been found?"

Director Liu sighed, "I don't have a clue about the source of the corpse, that's why I asked the command center to contact you directly.

There is currently no missing person report, and you will see in a while that the deceased has lost his face, to be precise, he has no face. "

Zhou Hai frowned, it seemed that this was a tough battle he encountered after returning to Southeast City.

In an instant, the adrenaline in the body soared, and all the warlike cells were mobilized.

In less than 15 minutes, the fat man came back.

Zhou Hai rubbed his fingers wearing two layers of rubber gloves.

"So fast?"

The fat man didn't have the usual laughing look, but looked sad and resentful, and nodded very seriously.

"It rained yesterday and the site is coarse sand.

The surrounding footprints are extremely complicated, all overlapping each other.

There are so many wild dogs that the entire surface of the earth is completely destroyed.

Only a few half-foot footprints have been collected, and they have been fixed to take pictures, and the passage is also open for you to take a look.

I went to search for the clothes of the deceased. They must have been torn to shreds by wild dogs. I don’t know if I can find them all. Maybe I can find the identity information of the deceased.

Ugh!
You can see how miserable it is! "

Liang Honggang, who was following the two, swallowed with a thud, and Zhou Hai knew he was nervous.

Those who have just graduated have to go through such a process.

Only by witnessing the tragedy of the dead can the forensic doctors increase their sense of urgency and mission to find evidence.

"If you can't take it, just wait for me here, don't worry, no one will laugh at you!"

Liang Hong just shook his head and said firmly.

"Thank you Brother Hai for your concern, I want to follow along and have a look."

Zhou Hai nodded towards Liang Honggang, "Okay, follow in my footsteps."

The closer you get, the more pungent the bloody smell becomes.

Zhou Hai stretched out his hand and lifted the mask outwards. It seemed that such an action would allow him to have a relatively loose breathing space. Forensic doctors are also human, and they also have the reflection of normal people.

Zhou Hai's action is also a method of psychological suggestion, the forensic doctor should adjust his mental state well.

Otherwise, if you come into contact with the murder scene every day, you would have gone crazy.

Wearing a white one-piece survey suit and blue shoe covers, he stepped on the soft sand, making a slight rustling sound.

Many criminal policemen looked towards them, walked up more than [-] meters, and bypassed the bushes.

The entire appearance of the female corpse was displayed in front of Zhou Hai.

Even Zhou Hai, who was used to seeing life and death, couldn't help taking a breath.

The girl's body was lying on the ground with her head facing the bushes, her long hair was messily scattered on the top of her head, her entire face was blurred, her nose and eyes were gone, and it was indeed impossible to see the appearance of the deceased.

There were cuts and cuts criss-crossed across the body of the deceased, but no stab wounds.

The left hemisphere is completely missing, and only half of the sphere remains on the right side. I don't know whether the missing part was cut off or eaten by wild dogs.

The corpse's hands were raised above the head, there were signs of binding on the wrists of the hands, and a sky blue knot fell below the hands.

What made people tremble was that the knot was tied into a bow.

The deceased's hands were severely injured, and only part of the skin on the ring finger, middle finger and index finger of his right hand remained connected.

There are abrasions on the palms, and all the wounds on the limbs and face have life reactions【1】.

The wound on the abdomen, the internal organs have protruded and are incomplete, only the wounds on the bare legs are less.

Apart from a scrape on the knee, there were only four bruises on the leg.

However, the wounds were extremely deep, covering the knees, popliteal sockets and ankles, presumably to prevent the deceased from escaping or venting his anger.

Liang Honggang retched a few times behind Zhou Hai, and ran away instantly.

He couldn't take it anymore, the strong smell of blood made his stomach tumbling instantly.

Zhou Hai squatted in front of the deceased and looked carefully. There were many bite marks on the face, chest and abdomen of the deceased, and the edge of the wound.

It should be the work of those wild dogs. The wild dogs caused damage to the corpse and had a great impact on the autopsy.

Zhou Hai counted silently, the total number of wounds he could see was no less than a hundred, and half of them were as deep as bones.

Fatty came over at this time, holding the camera to take over Xiaoliang's work, and helped Zhou Hai take pictures to fix the deceased's form.

Seeing that he had finished taking pictures of his fixed positions, Zhou Hai gently moved the left leg supported by the deceased. He wanted to lay the deceased flat from the side lying position, so that the facial injuries could be photographed more clearly.

At the moment of turning over the dead man, Zhou Hai suddenly discovered that there was a black lacquered knife handle inserted between the dead man's legs.

The fat man poked his head out from under the camera, and sat down on the survey pad in exclamation.

"I'm going, this murderer is too vicious!"

　【1】Life reaction: According to the life reaction, it can be determined that the person was still alive at the time of the injury, and sometimes it can also be used to infer the survival time after the injury.

　　One of the tasks of forensic pathology is to look for these living responses to infer the time elapsed from the effects of violence to death.

　　Life response and hyperbiotic response are two different concepts.

　　The latter refers to that in the early stage of biological death, some tissues and organs that are highly resistant to ischemia and hypoxia, such as skin and muscle, still have vital functions, and can respond similarly to external stimuli as they did before death.
