Forensics

In the fourth branch, the autopsy continued.

Over time, the body thaws.

The equipment in this sub-bureau was obviously not as good as that in the anatomy room of the city bureau. The exhaust fan was in disrepair for a long time and was buzzing.The stench of saponified corpses was also getting stronger.

Shen Junci and Qi Yi'an acted as if they hadn't heard of it.

They took pictures of the back of the corpse, recorded the scars one by one, and took a few bone grinding slices.

Then they took bone grinding slices from the head, and then turned the body over.

Director Zou excused that he had other work, so he left first. With no one watching, their work was more relaxed.

Waiting for the thawing process, Shen Junci asked Qi Yi'an to do the observation experiment of the bone grinding slice first.

Bone grinding film is an important basis for judging whether it is an injury before death or after death. Injury before death, hemoglobin will penetrate into the bone, but injury after death will not produce this phenomenon. It can be concluded by observing the presence of hemoglobin through a microscope. injury time.

Qi Yi'an observed carefully, and recorded: "The wound on the head was during life, and the several wounds on the back were all formed after death."

After the corpse was almost thawed, Shen Junci opened the chest and abdomen of the corpse for inspection.

"There were no obvious scars on the chest and abdomen."

"The internal organs are severely rotted, but it should be possible to extract some of them for toxicological testing."

After Shen Junci finished the inspection, he began to check for omissions and fill in the vacancies.

Forensic doctor Shen carefully observed the hands of the corpse, and he found that the left and right hands had different degrees of corruption, and there were some black things in the nails of the right hand, which looked like coagulated blood clots.

Shen Junci wiped it with a reagent and got a positive reaction, so there is nothing wrong with the blood.

He said: "There are blood stains on the right hand of the corpse. It may be stained by covering the wound, or it may be left when the murderer was scratched."

This is another detail that the forensic doctor of the sub-bureau did not discover before, Qi Yi'an quickly recorded it, and carefully collected the blood sample: "I will send it to the laboratory for testing later."

A craniotomy had been done on the head before, which saved them a lot of time.

After finishing the autopsy, Shen Junci and Qi Yi'an stitched up.

Then Shen Junci concluded: "Although the deceased suffered a head injury, it was not too serious and probably not fatal. In addition, the corpse was severely decomposed. Given the current situation, it is difficult to draw a conclusion on the cause of death."

He thought about it for a moment, and said to Qi Yi'an: "There are many problems with this corpse, I suggest transporting it to the Municipal Bureau for later inspection."

Qi Yi'an said: "I'll ask them for a body bag, and I'll pull it back later."

After the work was arranged, Shen Junci walked out to talk to Gu Yanchen.

Gu Yanchen's desk was full of information about those female workers. There were a total of sixteen female workers in this workshop, aged between 19 and 23.

At this age, many girls are still in college, but these female workers left home early, entered the society, and started working.

The girls usually work together and live in the same dormitory. The cafeteria is next to the factory building. Their life is basically a two-point line between the dormitory and the factory building.

Shen Junci walked in and analyzed: "The place where the body was found is definitely not the scene of the first crime. The murderer needs to abandon the body and bury the body, and also needs to clean up the crime scene. It takes ample time and a certain amount of physical strength. I suspect that the murderer may be more than one person."

After the female worker disappeared, no matter how tired the staff of the branch office were, they immediately started questioning and investigating. If the murderer was alone, it might be too late to deal with these matters.

In addition, judging from the autopsy, the deceased was heavy, and the place where the corpse was buried had been surrounded by various fences, making it difficult for vehicles to enter, even for men to carry it.

Gu Yanchen said: "I also suspect that those female workers eat, drink and live together, and the place where the body is thrown is close to the back door of the factory. If she was killed near the factory, it is impossible for no one to find out."

Then Shen Junci showed Gu Yanchen the photos of the scars on his back, and it was the first time Gu Yanchen saw such marks.

The two of them were discussing here when Bai Meng came over and handed over a few new statements.

"Gu Dui, we called the three female workers who shared the same bed for verification. As soon as they heard that they were asking about this matter, they repeated their previous confessions over and over again. They are all very good. If you ask too many questions, just say you don’t know.”

Gu Yanchen took those records.

Shen Junci also looked at the testimony, and after a while he said softly: "I think the relationship between them is different from that of ordinary workers."

Bai Meng said: "Yes, when I called, I couldn't tell where the weirdness was, but I felt very strange and unnatural."

Gu Yanchen discovered the problem: "A colleague in the factory disappeared and died a year ago. Others don't seem to be surprised by this, which is indeed unreasonable."

Bai Meng suddenly realized: "That's right, Captain Gu, once you said it, I understood. They answered the phone one by one and spoke in a routine, as if they were ready to speak."

Gu Yanchen said: "Also, the testimony is highly consistent."

Bai Meng compared the details: "Sure enough, many words are the same."

Everyone has different stress reactions and memories of things. It is reasonable to say that things have passed for a year, and there must be a big difference in the interpretation, but the answers of the three female workers are exactly the same, which makes people suspicious.

Gu Yanchen asked: "Have you contacted me to go to the factory site for inspection?"

Bai Meng said: "I've made contact, the appointment is at three o'clock in the afternoon. The physical evidence side has also said hello."

Gu Yanchen asked again: "Have you copied everything here?"

Bai Meng said: "It's all sorted out. The information they have here is really insufficient, and we still have to find a lot of it by ourselves."

Gu Yanchen said: "Okay, let's get ready and go back to the Municipal Bureau first."

After exchanging work, Bai Meng walked out and asked Lu Ying to arrange the return trip.

Qi Yi'an also made an appointment with the corpse truck of the sub-bureau and followed them.

The leaders of the sub-bureau, that is, the group of Zhao Bureau, followed the farewell again. Seeing that they were leaving, their faces were obviously relieved.

After several people sat back in the car, Gu Yanchen took out a stack of forms from the documents. The documents were typed out by Bai Mengxian just now, and they were a bit thick.

Shen Junci sat on the side, stretched out his hand to help him put it away, and picked up the dropped ones.

Gu Yanchen thanked him, and he searched for those materials with a focused and serious expression.

The sunlight came in from the window and reflected on his face, so that the eyelashes at the corners of his eyes were coated with a layer of golden brilliance.

Shen Junci stared at him blankly for a while before asking, "Next, which direction are you going to check?"

"I suspect that those female workers know something." Gu Yanchen said, "Now, we need to find a breakthrough and pry these female workers' mouths open..."

What they see is just the tip of the iceberg floating on the water. If they want to know what kind of secrets are hidden in this women's workshop, they must find out what is hidden under the sea.

Gu Yanchen took out a sheet from the pile of forms with his left hand: "This is the breakthrough I chose."

Then he turned his head and said goodbye to Shen Jun: "Forensic Doctor Shen, are you free to accompany me out for lunch later?"

At twelve noon, Gu Yanchen parked the car outside a small restaurant, and Shen Junci, who was sitting in the back seat, also opened the door and got out of the car.

In the pile of files, Gu Yanchen found that a female worker in the same workshop had resigned more than a year ago. She left the factory and became a waiter in a restaurant.

Although the small restaurant is not big, it is spacious and bright.

Gu Yanchen ordered a few dishes and told them to serve them later.

After he explained his purpose to the boss, the boss quickly said that he would cooperate with the police and called the waiter out.

The waitress looked young, with a baby face, and she looked like a girl. She was wearing a white T-shirt and a restaurant overalls.

The girl's name is Han Ziai, who left Zhou Yingying before she disappeared.She went back to her hometown at that time, not in Penang.

Gu Yanchen showed her the police officer's card, and then said: "Don't be nervous, we're just here for a meal, and by the way, I'm looking for you to learn about your previous working environment."

This is the questioning of witnesses in the investigation. It is not as formal as questioning suspects, and the occasion is not limited.

Han Ziai led Gu Yanchen and Shen Junci to the booth inside, poured them two glasses of lemonade, and poured himself one.

Gu Yanchen turned on the recorder for recording, and told her to pay attention to the authenticity of the information, not to perjure or mislead the police, and the conversation went straight to the point.

Han Ziai asked, "Officer Gu, what do you want to know?"

Gu Yanchen asked: "I want to know about your relationship with Zhou Yingying, and the relationship between her and those workshop colleagues."

Han Ziai was very organized: "Zhou Yingying and I once slept in and out of bed. She is quite nice, but she is very honest, timid, and fat. Her performance is very good, she is almost the top three in the workshop. By the way, Her hometown is in Xin County. It’s not far from mine. When she came home, she even brought me pickles from her hometown.”

"In your workshop, are there many fellow villagers in Xin County?"

"Probably a few of them. I, Tao Ya, and Zhou Yingying are all recruited from Xin County. The others are mostly from Li County. They are a little bit clique."

Most of those female workers were recruited from counties and villages near Penang.

When Han Ziai said this, she pursed her lips: "I recently heard that a corpse was found over there. Could it be Zhou Yingying?"

The girl paused and explained: "Although I no longer work there, I still pay attention to the news there. Especially after Zhou Yingying disappeared, I always dream about her."

When she asked, Gu Yanchen also expressed his intention of coming: "The body has been confirmed, and it is Zhou Yingying. We came here to investigate this matter. What do you think Zhou Yingying's death might have something to do with it or someone?"

Han Ziai picked up the water glass and took a sip of water, which stabilized her mood.

She said, "Something happened to Zhou Yingying, I suggest you check with the workshop manager named Sun Yushi."

After finishing speaking, Han Ziai's eyes fell on the recording pen.

She seemed to feel that what she said was inappropriate, hurriedly put down the water glass and waved her hand, and added a sentence: "I didn't mean that she was the murderer, but that she..."

Gu Yanchen said: "I understand that our police will investigate all suspects and things clearly." He had some impression of that name, "Sun Yushi, she is the head of your dormitory and also the person in charge of the workshop?"

Han Ziai said: "Yes, Sun Yushi is quite good-looking, and she has that kind of relationship with the deputy factory director in the factory. The deputy factory director over there is an old man in his 40s, who has a wife for a long time. Sun Yushi is because of this relationship , not paying attention to other people. Those colleagues in Li County also followed her to bully others. "

When Han Ziai said this, he seemed to recall something, put his hands together, and played with his fingers unconsciously.

Gu Yanchen noticed that this was an insecure gesture.

And from his words and deeds, he could still tell that Han Ziai was afraid of Sun Yushi.Even after a year away, she is now in a comfortable environment, and the fear remains.

To solve this kind of case, don't be too anxious, sometimes haste makes waste, and the clues are often hidden in some inadvertent small details.

During the few conversations with Han Ziai, Gu Yanchen felt that he had already found a key to solve the case.

Gu Yanchen asked: "So Sun Yushi once ostracized Zhou Yingying?"

Han Ziai took a deep breath: "When a newcomer comes to the workshop, they will choose one of them, stare at her, laugh at her, bully her, play with her, and the words and deeds of the person they are staring at will be magnified, and will be magnified. Misinterpretation. They call that man a sheep..."

Han Ziai continued: "Once you become a sheep, you will be bullied by them."

"Their women will pull the flock, and then the flock will isolate the sheep, and anonymously mock and insult the person in the flock. Sometimes they will whisper, laugh, and point in front of the sheep, and communicate with each other that the sheep don't know. thing."

"When the sheep say something, they will suddenly laugh. They will also learn the mantra of the sheep and imitate the accent and movements of the sheep."

Sheep are soft and weak, ready to be slaughtered. This description reminds Shen Junci of the metaphor in The Silence of the Lambs.

This kind of thing sounds excessive, but it is very common, not only in factories, but also in some schools, companies, and enterprises.

As long as there are many people, it is inevitable that some people will form groups and some will place orders.There are leaders and there are bullies.

When Han Ziai said this, her voice trembled a little, and she took a deep breath before continuing.

"Also, they have a lot of routines. For example, some of them sing good faces, and some sing bad faces. After the sheep are bullied, someone will pretend to be a kind person to comfort the sheep and approach the sheep. At that time, when you are desperate and heartbroken The sad sheep feel that they have finally met a good person, and when they start to open their hearts to them and say something in their hearts, they will tell others what they know, or even publish it, pushing the sheep into a deeper abyss."

My own secrets or complaints will soon be betrayed to others, making it known to all...

I treat you as a friend, you treat me as a joke.

This kind of behavior is like stabbing a knife in a person's chest.
