Forensic pursuit

Pei Rong saw the person lying down clearly, knelt down and checked his breath, his brows furrowed instantly, and subconsciously asked: "Did you call the police?"

Chu Wanning looked at the corpse in a daze, but did not respond.

"You." Pei Rong tugged at her arm.

"No." The voice was very soft, as if everything around her had nothing to do with her. This is not the state that a police officer should have.Pei Rong pursed his lips and pulled Chu Wanning aside, and asked, "Do you want to touch the dead?"

"No."

"Activity range?"

"In place."

Fortunately, she was still awake and knew what she was doing.

Pei Rong stopped talking, and the two retreated outside the room. She called the police and waited silently for the police from the police station.The hotel security guard and the lobby manager reacted quickly, and quickly persuaded the onlookers back in twos and threes, and sealed off the scene.Wan Yi and Nie Fanxin, who had already rested, rushed downstairs in a hurry when they received the news.

Nie Fanxin looked at their unusual expressions and asked worriedly: "Pei Xiaorong, what's the matter?"

"Zhu Fang, he's dead."

"Uncle Zhu? How could it be?" Nie Fanxin had a good impression of Zhu Fang. He hadn't had much contact with him before work. He only knew that he was an old buddy who had worked with Nie Zhilan and Wan Yi for many years.

Wan Yi next to her was chatting with her mobile phone. Another area she and Forensic Lin were in charge of was Changyun County, and there was a high probability that Zhu Fang's case would be assigned to her.Sure enough, one second a group message was sent out, and the next second a call came in from Forensic Lin.

"Xiao Wan, I have to work hard for you to run."

"I'm at the scene of the crime."

Forensic doctor Lin was distressed: "Ah? Just over there?"

"Weekend out."

"Wait for the police to investigate first, and see if you need to avoid it." Forensic Lin said while putting on his clothes, "I have an academic conference tomorrow, and you know it."

"There was a power outage at the scene of the crime, the elevator was powered, and there was monitoring. The monitoring at the stairway was installed with an UPS system, so it will not be affected by the power outage. I should be able to eliminate the suspicion first."

Hearing this, Forensic Doctor Lin smiled with relief: "That's good, that's good, keep in touch."

Within 10 minutes, the police from the Leting Township Police Station arrived at the scene.For such a big case, Nie Fanxin didn't see Lu Rui, so he pulled the policeman who was as good as her and asked in a gossip tone, "Comrade, where is your director?"

"Wang Suo? Where is it?" The policeman knew that she was a colleague from the urban district bureau, and pointed to the man squatting next to Zhu Fang.

"Isn't your surname Lu?"

"Oh, Director Lu was injured on duty last year, and I heard that he was pregnant again while recuperating."

"Pregnant? How is it possible?" Nie Fan thought about why, but there must be a reason for what happened, so she kept her mouth shut for the sake of prudence.

The policeman looked at Nie Fanxin's surprised expression, and explained with a smile: "Don't make a fuss, Lu Suo is a low-key person. He didn't accept gifts from us for greetings, but returned 400 gifts to each brother." Leding Township has only 10 official The number of civilian police and auxiliary police is 6 times that of civilian police.

"Understood, thank you." Nie Fanxin kept his doubts in his heart, and planned to calm down and think again.

For important criminal cases, the police station does not have the right to investigate. They can only call out the monitoring and wait for the Changyun County Public Security Bureau to intervene.At 1:12 in the morning, the police from the Criminal Investigation Brigade of Changyun County arrived at the hotel, and the temporary technicians and trace inspectors of the brigade entered the venue carrying investigation boxes.

The captain of the Criminal Investigation Brigade knew Chu Wanning and Nie Fanxin, exchanged some pleasantries, arranged two lounges, and began to take notes: "Excuse me, from 7:2 pm on July 23nd to 08:7 am on July 3rd, where are you? Where? What did you do? How did you find the deceased?” At 0:28, Zhu Fang spoke to his wife, indicating that he was not killed at that time.

"At about 23:40, I went downstairs to buy cigarettes, and it took about 15 minutes to go back and forth."

"and then?"

Chu Wanning said succinctly: "I stayed in the smoking area on the fifth floor for about half an hour, and found the deceased on the way back to the room."

"continue."

"No, when I went out to buy cigarettes, the cashier of the hotel and the owner of the convenience store can testify; as for smoking in the smoking area, no one else was around me at that time."

The captain of the criminal investigation routinely asked: "Have you had any holidays with the deceased?"

"Have."

The captain of the criminal investigation looked at her in disbelief: "Tell me in detail."

"This is related to the case 33 years ago. My father died in the line of duty, and the deceased was the key person who persecuted him." Chu Wanning handed the USB flash drive to the team leader with a serious face, "After the investigation is over, I will hand it over to the Municipal Bureau Wanwan." Director or Deputy Director Huang."

"When did you know the contents of the USB flash drive?" The captain took out a sealed bag and put the USB flash drive into it.

"Tonight, around 21 o'clock, the witness, Ms. Pei who lives with me."

The captain of the criminal investigation checked the phone number and name of the police: "Didn't you call the police?"

"No."

"As a police officer, why didn't you call the police immediately?"

Chu Wanning twitched the corners of her lips: "From the discovery of the body to the time Ms. Pei called the police, it took up to 3 minutes."

The captain of the criminal investigation asked her back: "So?"

This is not an excuse, Chu Wanning has nothing to say.

The criminal investigation team leader has followed Chu Wanning for several years, knows her temperament well, and believes in her personality, but at this moment, he can only do business:

"Do you know that, with both the motive and the time of committing the crime, I have reason to suspect that you intend to murder."

Chu Wanning's eyes were red, and she retorted in a decisive tone: "I didn't kill Zhu Fang."

"Captain Chu, you told me that the case investigation only focuses on evidence, and we'll wait for the report from the forensic doctor and trace inspection."

In the other lounge, Pei Rong finished the notes, and the general content was consistent with what Chu Wanning said.It's just that she thought of the latest news from Pei Yuanliang before taking the record, gritted her teeth, and hesitated for a long time before emphasizing: "I have doubts about Team Chu not calling the police immediately. With her professionalism, she shouldn't."

"Thank you, we will pay attention to it." The case investigators of the Criminal Investigation Brigade recorded.

Coming out of the lounge, Pei Rong leaned his back against the door panel weakly, looking at Nie Fanxin and Wan Yi's right side, that person's desolate figure, the psychological pain instantly involved his physical body, and his heart ached.

She whispered: I'm sorry...

***

The body was transported to the nearest funeral home, and Zhu Fang's wife and daughter agreed to an autopsy and were on their way.At 1:40 a.m., Wan Yi was released from the suspicion through monitoring and a meeting decision, and took charge of the autopsy.

At 1:50 in the morning, the autopsy officially began. Due to the special identity of the deceased, the case was handed over to the special investigation team, assisted by the Changyun County Criminal Investigation Brigade, and Nie Fanxin participated. She and the criminal investigation team leader stood opposite the autopsy table to observe.

"Autopsy No. 2050 in 13 of the Binnan City Research Institute. The deceased Zhu Fang, male, 62 years old, was dissected by assistant researcher Wan Yi, recorded by a technician from the Criminal Investigation Brigade of Changyun County, and the video began."

She started from the body surface: "The deceased's face was bruised, his skin was slightly swollen, hemorrhages were spotted, and the conjunctival hemorrhage of the eyes was obvious and patchy.

There are finger indentations and choke marks on both sides of the throat and neck, and the color is fresh and light yellowish brown.There were focal hemorrhages around the thyroid, base of the tongue, and cervical lymph nodes. "

The technician came to the conclusion: "Typical strangulation."

Wan Yi was sure: "Yeah." But why is the sclera turning yellow? She thought about it, and suddenly a friend discovered that the stone was on the side of the dam. Suspected watch decoration."

She checked Zhu Fang's fingernails, and said the main point: "The deceased showed no signs of struggle, and peripheral blood was taken for testing." Blood samples were taken during autopsy, and pericardial blood was usually drawn from the heart, but the results of pericardial blood for poison testing were not as accurate as peripheral blood.

The technician took the specimen with a syringe, and Wan Yi held a scalpel to prepare for dissection. Using the "Y-shaped incision method" commonly used in Europe and the United States can better preserve the injured neck.She expertly incises the skin and peels away the soft tissue and muscle layers.Because Zhu Fang weighed about 85 kilograms and was moderately obese, she moved through the fat with gloved hands, lifted the peritoneum with tweezers and cut a half-centimeter incision, and then carefully incised the lifted peritoneum with a scalpel.The technician was helping, and the vascular forceps lifted the abdominal wall to avoid cutting and damaging the organs in the abdominal cavity.

Nie Fanxin frowned and reminded her: "Be careful, I heard that forensic doctors tend to scratch their hands when dissecting obese dead people, and some germs will take advantage of it."

Wan Yi raised her head slightly, and smiled back at her: "Don't worry, I will pay attention." After speaking, she went back to work.

The abdominal cavity was cut open, and the ribs were fully exposed.She cut off the sternoclavicular joint with a scalpel, and the first rib was severely calcified, so she cut it off with rongeurs.

The ribs were completely cut off, and she separated the sternum from the mediastinal connective tissue, and removed the sternum to completely expose the chest cavity.

"The deceased's heart and lungs are in good shape..." She observed the color and shape of the organs, her eyes suddenly stopped at the liver under the right lung, her expression suddenly became serious.According to rectal temperature, body cold and pupil divergence, Zhu Fang's death time was not more than two hours, and the liver color change could not be so obvious, so the deceased's liver had a problem.Combined with the yellowing of the sclera, Wan Yi carefully dissected the liver, and found a giant tumor with a diameter of 10 cm, accompanied by small nodules.

The technician speculated: "Is this late?"

Wan Yi continued to dissect: "Let's look at the transfer first."

After several hours of dissection, outside the window, the dark night sky gradually turned white and misty.Wan Yi took off her dissecting suit, disinfected it, and walked out of the dissecting room of the funeral home.

"Records, the deceased had primary liver cancer, intrahepatic metastasis, peritoneal cavity, retroperitoneal lymph node metastasis, brain metastasis, mesenteric metastasis, and surface cancer nodules." Liver cancer with advanced multiple organ malignant metastasis, the survival period is generally counted in months, and there is no surgery necessary.

The technician recorded and stayed to pack up the tools, while Wan Yi and Nie Fanxin walked to the outer area to rest.

"Are you tired?" Nie Fanxin handed her the warm water in his hand.

"A little bit." Wan Yi sat on the bench, drinking warm water in small sips to relieve fatigue.

Nie Fan, who left on the way, said with a heavy heart: "Sister Wan Ning has been detained."

Wan Yi coughed twice, then paused with the hand holding the paper cup: "Why?"

"The time of the crime, the motive of the crime, and the watch marks you found on Zhu Fang's neck are exactly the same as the surface of the watch that Miss Wan Ning often wears."

The author has something to say:

The monitoring ups system can still record video during a power outage.The dissection process comes from watching documentaries and observing pictures.
