Forensics

In the afternoon, in the clearing by the river.

Shen Junci put on his mask and gloves, and leaned over to observe the corpse lying on the ground.

When the corpse is first obtained, it carries the most information, and as time goes by, the traces on it will gradually disappear.

Observing the condition of the corpse on the surface and conducting on-site investigation and recording are important steps in forensic work.Moreover, the transcripts should be recorded while inspecting, and they should not be supplemented later based on memory.

After soaking for two days, Fang Zhengrong's body was pale white, his hair was disheveled, his belly was slightly distended, and his body was swollen. one.

"Male corpse, about 55 years old, 1.7 meters 150 tall, about 31 kilograms in weight, seven centimeters in hair length, [-]cm in foot length, high integrity of the corpse, moderate corruption..."

Shen Junci looked serious, checking and inspecting the details of the corpse.

Then he made a further analysis in a deep voice: "The corpse is swollen, the skin is pale, and there is a small amount of fungal foam in the mouth and nose. The corrupt vein network has appeared, and drowning gloves have appeared on the hands. The epidermis and dermis have separated, and they have begun to turn white and swell. .”

Drowning gloves are a phenomenon that is generally apparent after 48 hours of immersion in the body, and will fall off completely like a glove after one to two weeks of soaking.

It can be inferred that the time of death was about two days ago, which coincides with the time of the alarm.

Qi Yi'an picked up the camera and began to take pictures, Shen Junci reminded him: "Remember to look at the characteristics of the teeth, and observe whether there are obvious birthmarks on the body."

The corpse was turned over and over again, the mouth was slightly opened, and a rotting corpse smell wafted up.

Qi Yi'an was choked up and coughed a few times, but Shen Junci who was beside him didn't respond at all.

What kind of corpse has Shen Junci never seen?

Fully rotting corpses, giants, wax corpses, ossification, and severely decomposed bones put him in front of him without frowning.No matter how disgusting the environment is, just take a shower and it will be spotless.

At this moment, Gu Yanchen came over.

He has been doing criminal investigation for so many years and has come into contact with many forensic doctors.

Facing the corpse, the young forensic doctor could still see some fear.Just like Qi Yi'an in front of him, he is always a little timid, no matter how many corpses he has seen, that fear seems to be branded in his bones, and it will take years of experience to erase it.

The old forensic doctor was already used to seeing life and death. He could remain unmoved in the face of any kind of corpse, chat and laugh happily beside the pile of dead people, and eat stewed brains after dissecting the corpse.

But Shen Junci was different from them.

Shen Junci's face is usually cold and indifferent, and he seems to be calm and unmoved by everything, but when he saw the corpse, he put away that expression and replaced it with concentration, It was as if the only thing in his eyes was the corpse in front of him.

Gu Yanchen stood beside him for a while, and asked Shen Junci: "How is the corpse? Can it be concluded that it was drowned?"

Shen Junci replied cautiously: "Judging from the appearance, there is nothing wrong with drowning. To be on the safe side, we should draw conclusions after the autopsy."

Then he looked at the corpse and frowned slightly.

Gu Yanchen caught his expression sensitively: "What? Is there a problem?"

Shen Jun said: "This corpse is not right, it is too clean."

Generally, drowned corpses will struggle violently before death, and mushroom-like foam will appear in the mouth and nose, also known as crab foam, which is a small white foam formed by air, drowning fluid, and mucus due to intense breathing movements, like white cotton Group, block mouth and nose.

These foams will appear in the nasal cavity and mouth together with the silt and water plants, but right now, there is only a small amount of foam in the mouth and nose of Fang Zhengrong's corpse, which is a bit small in terms of quantity.

In addition, most drowned people would hold some aquatic plants, branches, sand, etc. in their hands, and a lot of sand would get embedded in their fingernails, but the hands of this corpse were relatively clean.

Although the corpse had been soaked in water for two days, it looked very complete, with almost no scars.

Shen Junci thought for a while and then said: "The possibility of falling into the water in a coma or near death cannot be ruled out."

After Gu Yanchen listened, he asked Shen Junci and Qi Yi'an to transport the body back to the city bureau as soon as possible.

This side dealt with it well, Cao Dui took the initiative to say: "Shall I take you to meet the family?"

The villa area is in the lower reaches of the river, not too far from the salvage location.

The two walked to the villa area, and a nanny came over and opened the door.

Dui Cao's cell phone rang suddenly, he looked at the phone and said, "It's in the bureau, Dui Gu is waiting for me a moment."

Gu Yanchen walked into the entrance hall alone, and saw a huge aquarium screen wall. It was a transparent glass wall, with fishes of all sizes inside. The aquatic plants planted made pavilions, pavilions, rockery and small bridges.

Cao Dui was on the phone, and Gu Yanchen was looking up at the aquarium wall. There were some koi and some not special freshwater fish in the fish tank, which were ordinary crucian carp and silver carp. Fang Zhengrong probably caught them from the fishery himself. of.

This is a small river bottom world.

It should be cleaned from time to time, and the water has been turned into light blue, which looks profound and quiet.

Suddenly a voice in the living room said: "This fish is raised by Mr. Fang. He is a man who likes water to such an extent that he even likes fish in the water."

Gu Yanchen looked up, and saw a person walking across the aquarium through the aquarium.

The man was in his fifties, wearing glasses, and looked gentle. He introduced himself, "My name is Zhong Zhichun, and I am Fang Zhengrong's assistant."

Hearing this name, Gu Yanchen nodded thoughtfully, but said nothing.

Zhong Zhichun also looked at him with a smile and didn't say much.

At this time, Captain Cao just called and said, "Mr. Zhong, don't be self-effacing. Who doesn't know that you are Mr. Fang's right-hand man and half of the Zhenro Group."

Zhong Zhichun brought them in, and then two people came down the stairs, both in their 30s, a beautiful woman in black with tears on her face, and a tall young man.

The two went downstairs almost at the same time, but tacitly opened a distance of several meters, and their eyes did not meet.

Gu Yanchen knew that these two people should be Fang Zhengrong's wife Lan Jie and son Fang Jialiang.

Although this place is just a holiday villa, it has a lot of style, the living room is more than 100 square meters, and there are sofas imported from Italy.

When the three of them arrived, Gu Yanchen made a brief self-introduction, and then asked his relatives to sign a consent form for the autopsy.

Lan Jie on the side didn't speak, handed over the consent form, and she signed it.

Afterwards, Gu Yanchen, Team Cao and his subordinate police officers called them to the side study one by one, and asked them in detail about Fang Zhengrong's experience on the day of Fang Zhengrong's accident.

The first person to be called was Fang Zhengrong's son Fang Jialiang. According to Fang Jialiang's confession, Fang Zhengrong himself said that he would go fishing in the afternoon and went out after lunch.

In the afternoon, he has been using the computer to deal with affairs in the study.

At dinner, he found that his father hadn't come back, so he drove out to search for it, but he couldn't find it, so he called the police.

Afterwards, Gu Yanchen didn't seem to be in a hurry, and asked a lot of irrelevant questions.

Fang Jia's confidant said everything, but when he asked about his stepmother, Lan Jie, she didn't answer much.

Gu Yanchen saw him like this, but instead he kept on to Lan Jie's question: "I read on the Internet that you and Lan Jie met first?"

Fang Jialiang was forced to ask, and replied simply: "I saw it at a private party."

Gu Yanchen asked again: "I heard that before your mother passed away, your father was dating Lan Jie?" There were even gossips on the Internet, saying that the regular wife died of breast cancer because she was angry with her mistress.

Fang Jialiang frowned: "I don't like her, but this has nothing to do with my father's death."

The second person to be called was Zhong Zhichun. He said that he was going out that afternoon and that he was going to handle business in a branch not far from here.Everyone in the company is a witness.

Gu Yanchen found out that around two o'clock in the afternoon, Zhong Zhichun called Fang Zhengrong's cell phone, and the call lasted about a minute.

Zhong Zhichun admitted frankly: "I called him, and told him about the company."

Gu Yanchen said: "Have you known Mr. Fang for a long time?"

Zhong Zhichun said: "We are Fa Xiao, and we have been going to school in the same town since we were young."

Gu Yanchen asked: "Then you helped Boss Fang start a business together?"

Zhong Zhichun nodded: "It's been decades."

Gu Yanchen continued to click on him: "Up to now, Mr. Fang's family fortune is tens of thousands of times that of yours."

Zhong Zhichun smiled: "This...how can I have a head in the top? Mr. Fang treats me well. I am a person who has no desires."

Gu Yanchen then changed the subject and chatted with him for more than half an hour.

The third person to come in was Lan Jie. She said that she felt a little uncomfortable after eating at noon, and she had been sleeping all afternoon.

Gu Yanchen asked about Lan Jie's life after marriage, and also asked some gossip about her debut.

At the end of the chat, Gu Yanchen said: "I read on the Internet that your cousin and cousin also work for Zhenro Group."

Lan Jie said: "It's better to be a stranger than to be an expert. If some relatives come here, I will ask Zhengrong to arrange work for them."

Gu Yanchen nodded: "It's human nature."

After asking, Lan Jie rubbed the corner of her eyes and asked, "How long will it take for this matter to come to fruition? I'm completely confused now, and I don't know how to deal with my husband's funeral."

Gu Yanchen said: "If you cooperate, there will probably be results soon."

After asking here, Bai Meng and Lu Ying both came back.

The three of them avoided the criminal police from those sub-bureaus and chatted a few words in the yard.

Bai Meng said: "We saw some fishing tackle and unused bait in the upstream. The site is not well protected, and the footprints are a bit messy. It is probably the first policeman who found it. There are no traces left by falling into the river."

Lu Ying also said: "People nearby saw a man fishing by the river at two o'clock in the afternoon, and when he went to see it at four o'clock in the afternoon, the man was gone."

Gu Yanchen asked: "Are you sure it's Fang Zhengrong?"

"I asked this question, and the other party said that it was too far away to see the face clearly, but judging by the clothes and attire, it should be what Fang Zhengrong usually wears. They usually avoid this part when they watch Fang Zhengrong go fishing." Lu Ying remembered something when he said this, "According to the people in the village, they heard people arguing fiercely by the fish pond two days ago."

Bai Meng lowered her head and thought for a moment: "The nanny and the driver went out for a while in the afternoon, and they were not at home, and they had sufficient proof of absence. From this point of view, these three people are even more suspicious..."

The people at the sub-bureau withdrew first, and the sky was stained with the color of the setting sun.

The surrounding environment of the villa is very good, and the sound of water flow and birdsong can be heard from afar.

After collecting all the information from various places, Gu Yanchen said: "That's it for today, let's close the team."

The criminal police were investigating the case. On the other side, the car transporting the corpse had already arrived at the city bureau.

Shen Junci and Qi Yi'an received the news that the family members agreed to the autopsy, and they quickly changed into their autopsy clothes and came to the autopsy room.

Facing Fang Zhengrong's corpse, they wore clothes somewhat similar to those of doctors, with masks covering their faces and hats, but they were completely different from doctors.

Doctors are there to cure diseases and save lives, but forensic doctors only treat the dead.

There is not so much blood, and the sound of the beating heart of the corpse cannot be heard. There is no need to worry about what happens to the people under the knife. What they are looking for is the truth about death.

Steel ruler, rib scissors, scalpel, needle holder, all tools lined up.

The pale corpse lay silently on the stainless steel dissecting table.

The high-power exhaust fan was humming, but even so, a faint stench of corpses could still be smelled.

No matter what kind of person they are in life, beautiful or ugly, noble or humble, young or old, they will all become cold corpses after death.

All the wealth, all the honors, all the things we fought for and cherished while we were alive, seem to be irrelevant when we die.

Just like Fang Zhengrong at this time, when he was alive, he had hundreds of millions of property and a great reputation, but when he died, he couldn't take anything with him.

At this moment, the corpse in front of them was swollen and bulging, especially the abdomen. Fang Zhengrong was quite tall, lying on the metal dissecting table like a high raised hill.

There were no obvious injuries on his body, only some bruises on his knees.

Drowned corpses generally move with the water flow, and the corpse spots are light.

Qi Yian set up the video equipment to record the whole process.

Shen Junci performed the dissection with the main knife. At present, there are three main methods of dissection in the world. The first is Y-shaped, which is subdivided into positive Y and inverted Y. The second is T-shaped arc cutting, and the third is Y-shaped. It is a straight cut.

The last one is generally used in China.

Shen Junci held the scalpel in his hand, and made the first cut with a serious expression, cutting open the flesh.
