Detective: I can see the criminal record

"Let me look at the map," Cen Lian handed the flashlight back to Tang Hua and opened the map that Qu Zihan had sent to the group. "The body was found here, and the location of the tunnel is here."

He marked two red dots and found that they were indeed within the range previously demarcated.

"This is weird," Tang Hua scratched his head, "Was the location for dumping the body specially chosen?"

Cen Lian also found it very strange. There was an indescribable feeling wrong in this case from the moment the body was found.

"Don't think too much about it. If you have confirmed that there is a theft hole, contact the team leader first to see if a rescue excavation is needed here." Cen Lian temporarily put aside his messy thoughts and planned to continue according to the normal case handling process.

It was already late at night. After Cen Lian and Tang Hua joined with their men, they quickly confirmed that there was indeed a tomb robbery hole at the place where Wang Yuanteng and his team had found, and it was a very new one.

"It's three o'clock in the morning. It's a bit cruel to contact them at this time." Tang Hua sighed and dialed the number without hesitation.

Wouldn't it be even more cruel if no one worked overtime with them?

Perhaps they really attached great importance to this tomb. More than half an hour later, Tong Fanglin brought staff to take over the work of digging the hole.

"We have contacted our superiors. After daybreak, the archaeological team from Lingxi University will come to conduct rescue excavations." The team leader's eyes were also dark and blue. It seemed that this case had prevented her from getting a good rest during this period.

Leave professional matters to professionals. Cen Lian did not ask any further questions, but simply instructed the police officers from the local police station to stay behind temporarily to help protect the scene.

…

On the way back, Wang Yuanteng put away his equipment and said, "This place has good feng shui. At least a high-ranking official is buried there. I just don't know how many cultural relics have been destroyed by the location of the robbery hole."

"I have a question. Shouldn't tombs like this be excavated by places like archaeological institutes? Why is the university in charge?" Tang Hua was a little puzzled.

"Lingxi University is very powerful and has independent archaeological qualifications." Wang Yuanteng took off his gloves and found a blister on the base of his thumb. "When the experts arrive tomorrow, we will have to do a trace examination under their guidance."

There is no doubt that this fresh tomb-robbing hole will contain various physical evidence left behind by tomb robbers when they dug the hole.

"On one side there's the autopsy, and on the other side there's the burglary. This case is indeed more complicated than I thought." Cen Lian took out alcohol and a Band-Aid from his bag. "Brother Wang, can I help you disinfect it?"

He noticed that the blisters on Wang Yuanteng's hands had even broken.

"It's probably because I haven't done enough physical work in the past two years," Wang Yuanteng said with a sigh, "When I first joined the police force, I carried a shovel a lot."

"When I was at the institute, I had to shovel snow every year when it snowed," Tang Hua recalled. "Fortunately, my waist was in good condition at that time."

It’s not like now when we have to pay attention to protecting our lumbar disc at all times.

…

Finishing work late at night does not mean that you can sleep until you wake up naturally. When Cen Lian woke up, it was around nine in the morning, which meant he had slept much longer than his usual time.

When he regained consciousness, he saw that there were several missed calls on his phone.

I called back one by one and found out that Wu Qiushan had already brought the trace inspection and investigation team from Yishou County Bureau to the rescue excavation site to confirm the situation of the wheel tracks.

Forensic Doctor Lin conducted a basic examination on the body and is now preparing to conduct further autopsy in the autopsy room of the funeral home.

As for the rest of the people, except Qu Zihan, they were still asleep.

"Brother Wang, after dinner, you guys take people to continue tracking the tire tracks to see if you can find the car. I'll go check on Sister Lin first, and then come back to work with you on the surveillance footage to find the car." After receiving a lot of information, he had roughly sorted out a new idea. On one side was a murder case and on the other side was a tomb robbery case, and he was more inclined to deal with the murder case first.

After arranging the work of others, Tang Hua naturally followed Cen Lian to the funeral home.

"I've discovered that your main purpose of bringing me along is probably to get two people together for easy police response," Tang Hua said as he drove to the funeral home, looking at Cen Lian, who was about to fall asleep in the passenger seat. "If you fall asleep in the passenger seat now, I'm sure I'll fall asleep with my eyes open and drive the car into a ditch."

Cen Lian sat up straight to show his respect for life.

"This case is strange. Do you think the murderer and the digger are not the same group of people?" Tang Hua couldn't help but say to Cen Lian as he followed the navigation to find the intersection leading to the funeral home.

"It's even possible that these two groups are hostile to each other," Cen Lian directly followed Tang Hua's thoughts and continued, "Otherwise I can't explain why they deliberately dumped the body near the robber's hole."

If the same gang is behind these two cases, then this behavior is really too stupid.

But he couldn't be sure now whether the group of people who dumped the body hoped that the police would find the hole they dug, or the group of tomb robbers who dug the hole hoped that the police would find the body.

"See, I told you something was wrong," Tang Hua steered the car into a deserted intersection, "these two gangs are actually targeting our police."

"Let's go check out the body first." Cen Lian saw vendors selling incense, candles, and paper money along the road from afar, and knew he had arrived.

…

In the autopsy room of the Yishou County Funeral Home, forensic doctor Lin was doing pathological sections. Seeing Cen Lian and Tang Hua come in one after another, he motioned for them to go and see the body.

"The front of the body is intact, and the fatal wound is the penetrating wound in the chest," she handed the prepared pathological section to her assistant, and then returned to the dissection table. "There is a lot of flesh missing from the back, and some internal organs are missing. But according to my judgment, the flesh missing from the back of the body should not be caused by intentional dismemberment."

"It wasn't intentional," Cen Lian immediately understood what Forensic Doctor Lin wanted to say. "You mean that during the freezing process, because the body had no clothes, the skin on the back of the body came into direct contact with the freezing tool such as the freezer, causing the skin that had not yet stiffened and died to adhere to the bottom of the freezer?"

"It's just my guess," Forensic Doctor Lin was as rigorous as ever. "The deceased should have been placed in the freezer immediately after death, or before he was completely dead. This caused the still elastic skin and muscles to become severely adhered to the bottom of the freezer. Later, due to the temperature of the freezer, they were completely frozen to the bottom, making it difficult to take them out."

She paused, then continued, "The person who handled the body was very careless, or perhaps he didn't even think of this."

"This also means that they dumped the body in a hurry," Cen Lian looked at the frosted body, "and didn't even have time to thaw it."
