civil forensic

Chapter 103
The temperature of the freezer in the funeral home in Langgu County can reach minus 18 degrees.

With this basic condition, the condition of the dissection room is slightly worse, which is acceptable.

However, even if the corpse is stored at minus 18 degrees, some changes will still occur more or less.For example, the corpse in front of me was a bit bluish-black in color. In the most serious part, the skin color had completely changed. That kind of bluish-black was a bit like the color of the official uniforms of the Qing Dynasty.If the overall color of the body is changed, it will probably have a slightly zombie feeling.

Second, the place that has changed the most is the nails.To ordinary people outside of forensic science, the nails of this kind of corpse that have been stored for a long time seem to have become longer—it also has a little bit of the color of traditional Chinese zombies, but if you have studied forensic science, you will understand that the change It is not the nails that grow, but the fingers shrink, which makes the nails look longer.

Jiang Yuan observed the corpse, and Li Zhen also observed him.

In terms of age alone, Li Zhen is almost three times as old as Jiang Yuan.In terms of qualifications, Li Zhen is a forensic doctor of Wu Jun's peers. When they were young, such qualifications could be pointed at their noses and scolded.

Of course it doesn't work now, and besides, Jiang Yuan was brought by people from the provincial department, and Li Zhen wanted to show face if he didn't look at the monk's face to see the Buddha's face.

However, apart from these sophistication, Li Zhen is not optimistic about Jiang Yuan at all.

Young people are inexperienced. From Li Zhen's point of view, it is an objective fact.A young forensic doctor who sees few corpses and makes few corpses is inexperienced.

As for forensic medicine, many of them actually start from practice, pay attention to details, and observe life, just like a person's knees are worn out, maybe because of work, maybe because of running, maybe because of illness, Li Zhen looks at it at a glance. I knew that the forensic doctor who came to practice was naturally dumbfounded.

This is still forensic pathology, and further to forensic anthropology, there are more detailed things.Li Zhen's experience is not enough to support him.

And Jiang Yuan...

Li Zhen just dismissed it secretly.He didn't want to say anything serious, so he just watched Jiang Yuan do things, and just waited for him to be satisfied and send the gift out of the country.

Jiang Yuan doesn't need Li Zhen's help too much. If the other party doesn't make trouble or talk too much, he will be Amitabha.

The two sides complement each other, which makes the atmosphere in the dissection room very harmonious.

The usual physical examination did not provide much information.Jiang Yuan quickly transitioned to the bone stage.

There was nothing in the abdominal cavity and chest cavity of the corpse, the cranial cavity—the head was gone, and the pelvic cavity was actually a mess. It should have been bitten by wild animals, but most of the bones were still left, enough to form the pelvis. look like.

The main work Li Zhen did was to spell out the pelvis, thereby confirming the gender and reproductive status of the corpse, but still... this is basic forensic work, not outstanding, and it failed to solve the problem.

Jiang Yuan straightened his bones while thinking in his mind.

Forensic anthropology is similar and different from other forensic techniques in that forensic anthropology pays more attention to a certain point rather than an aspect.

In short, the whole of forensic anthropology is at the service of the parts.

In other words, forensic anthropology is actually difficult to cover everything.

After all, it has been a long time, and a better way is to determine some information through the bones, and use this information to infer the identity of the deceased.

Instead of constantly trying to grasp more comprehensive information, some information is difficult to capture after all.The pursuit of comprehensive information is itself inappropriate.

For Jiang Yuan, the corpse in front of him actually provided a lot of information.

However, it seems that it is still very difficult to identify her identity.

"It's still very troublesome without a skull. If there is a skull, you might be able to find the identity of the deceased through teeth and the like." Li Zhen suddenly sighed, and also gave Jiang Yuan a step.

Use what he said to his apprentices: If you can’t do it, don’t do it.

It is a common problem for many young forensic doctors to concentrate on doing it blankly. It seems that as long as I keep doing it and keep doing it, I can come up with the answer.

Based on Li Zhen's experience, if he didn't think about it and dissected it, there are seven or eight out of ten that are for nothing.

Just like Jiang Yuan in front of him, maybe he has some ideas, but how can an inexperienced young man make something.

Especially seeing Jiang Yuan doing it, starting to turn his arms and move his legs, Li Zhen found it even more funny.

How can there be such a hammer in the east and a stick in the west during the autopsy? It is purely...

"Marfan syndrome." Jiang Yuan straightened up suddenly and said something.

Li Zhen was getting old, and it took several seconds to wake up, and repeated: "Marfan syndrome?"

"Well, taller, with slender limbs, and very little subcutaneous fat..." Jiang Yuan counted the items that fit, then pulled the arm of the corpse down, and said, "Hands over knees."

Each of these sounds good, but taken together, it is enough to make people suspect Marfan syndrome.

In the modern population, the incidence of Marfan syndrome is relatively high, and many people have carriers of this genetic disease.Because the symptoms are more in line with the aesthetics of modern people, some Mafan people are still very popular.Especially at a young age, many were selected as athletes for their long limbs and height.

But the destructiveness of Marfan syndrome is also very immediate.

Various skeletal lesions, such as pectus excavatum, or scoliosis.There are also heart diseases related to the aorta and mitral valve, as well as eye lesions, etc., which make Mafan people extremely painful.The older you are, the higher the damage.

Li Zhen recalled the relevant points of Marfan syndrome, and then compared them one by one.

Eye lesions... head gone.

A heart attack...the heart has been taken out.

The spine and sternum...it's alright.

Several points that are easy to be reminded have gone wrong. However, it is not difficult to prove that it is Marfan syndrome. The difficult thing is to think of proving it.

Li Zhen and Jiang Yuan's eyes were on the dead man's hand.

Jiang Yuan was wearing gloves, holding the deceased's hand, making her make a milk fist - different from the normal fist gesture, Jiang Yuan asked her to make a fist with her thumb inside and the other four fingers outside.

In this fist posture, the fingertip of the thumb of the deceased protrudes from the ulnar edge, which is the edge of the palm on the side where the little finger is.

Jiang Yuan's eyes could not help but light up.

If this is a clinical diagnosis, then some inspections and tests are required.

But on the forensic dissection table, this discovery is enough.

To be on the safe side, Jiang Yuan grabbed the deceased's right hand and used it to wrap around his left hand.

In this movement, the thumb and index finger of a normal person either cannot touch together, or they can only touch lightly.But the thumb of a Mafan can easily cover the index finger...

"It's indeed Marfan Syndrome." Li Zhen couldn't help being a little annoyed: Why didn't I think of it before?
For forensic doctors, Marfan syndrome is definitely not an unfamiliar symptom. Of course, it is difficult for Li Zhen. Very few people in Langgu County carry the gene of Marfan syndrome, or if they do, they are Failed to die in this county.

In the previous autopsies, Li Zhen also encountered corpses involving Marfan syndrome. He couldn't remember it for a while, but it was normal... I guess.

"I'll call Liu Chu." Jiang Yuan took off his gloves.

Li Zhen was silent.

The corpse is here, people can see it, but he can't see it, it's purely technical crushing.He was also speechless.

It was also a corpse without a head. What Li Zhen always thought was "it's a pity to have no teeth" and "there are no implants in the body". It is not surprising that Marfan syndrome was not found in the end.

……

On the other side, Liu Jinghui who received the call was also a little dazed.

After turning his mind for a while, he understood the value of Jiang Yuan's discovery, and asked, "Should I check the medical records, and then we can screen out this person?"

"In the missing persons records, look for women who are over 30 years old, have a reproductive history, are over 165 cm tall, and have Marfan syndrome. There should not be many of them." Finding someone should be easy.

Liu Jinghui complied, hung up the phone, and looked ahead again in a daze.

Opposite him, the jubilant chicken dealer tied up another big rooster and boasted: "The chickens in our Langgu County have been famous since ancient times. I have collected these chickens from the countryside, let alone raising them for a year or two." Yes, look at this paw, look at this mouth..."

He brought the rooster with red crown and flower feathers in front of Liu Jinghui, and kept pointing his fingers.

Liu Jinghui coughed twice: "Boss, my plan has changed..."

The chicken dealer's face darkened, and the chicken in his hand didn't dare to crow: "I collected these from the countryside for you."

"I know, it's mainly my side..."

"I told you that if a man is alive, he must eat chicken." The chicken dealer shook the big cock to make it nod, and said again: "Chicken is good for men."

　Make up for yesterday's.A little tired, the rhythm of work and rest is about to collapse...
