Chapter 112 Bird VS Monkey 【Third Update】

Staring at the magnified X-ray, under the guidance of Zhou Ning's laser pointer, he saw the bright circles in the middle of the bones and the slightly damaged parts around them. Big Zhao.

"Comrade Zhou Xiaozhou, I'm just a rough person, don't talk about professional terms, just tell me directly, what does this mean?"

Zhou Ning didn't hold back anymore, this video was very clear, which proved his judgment just now.

"These 'soap bubble'-like changes, as well as the surrounding infiltration state, indicate that the deceased had bone cancer. He was very sick, and it may even be the bone metastasis of other cancers. After all, only bones were found, and no human tissue was found. I just said that the deceased's lower limbs were inconvenient to move, this can be used as the direction of investigation.

But now there is an experiment to be done. I need to choose a piece of bone to make a bone grinder. Through the observation of the bone grinder, the number of blood cells in the bone canalule can be checked. This can determine whether it was dismembered after death or was dismembered alive. "

Da Zhao looked directly at Xiao Sun. After all, he is the most familiar with various departments here. Even though it is just an intern running errands, it is fine.

"Xiaosun, let's go to the inspection. Do you remember what Zhou Xiaozhou said just now?"

Xiao Sun took the bag, which contained the distal femur found by Zhou Ning. Seeing him pause, Xu Dayuan said directly.

"Send it to the laboratory department. I'll contact Director Pang now, and they will take over directly."

Xiao Sun nodded, and quickly ran away from the building, which he was familiar with.

Xu Dayuan made a phone call and made some arrangements. Director Pang was straightforward enough, promising that all inspections of the 2.21 case would be given priority.

Da Zhao came over and rubbed his chin.

"According to your analysis, the deceased was a patient, and he was terminally ill. He was murdered and dismembered. The murderer threw the fragments of the body on the hillside here, and did not bury it or throw it elsewhere. Do you think the skull of the deceased is still at the scene? ?”

Zhou Ning nodded.

"I read the site investigation report and put together the bones of the corpse just now. Except for some of the smallest finger bones and skull missing, the other bones are basically complete, so I think the skull is at the scene.

As Xu Da said just now, the archaeological team has been evacuated since the end of May last year, and there are only guards on the outside. From February 2 to now, the site has been searched many times, but no skull has been found.

I think the previous investigations overlooked one factor. In addition to man-made and natural factors, some small animals will be involved in this case of dismemberment, especially the heads. Many animals like to hide in trees as food reserves, but not Know if there are trees on site? "

The fat on Da Zhao's face trembled, and he clasped his hands together and shook towards Zhou Ning.

"Don't tell me, let's talk about it just after eating. If you want to go to the site for a second survey, let's go there. Xu Da is the same as us. Today is the first day of reporting. It is estimated that there are not many people who can use it. "

Zhou Ning naturally had no objection. After all, the countdown kept jumping. Of course, it would be the most reassuring to go and see for himself. After hearing these analysis, Xu Dayuan was already eager to try.

He took out his mobile phone and dialed it, as if he was mobilizing people.

Although they took over the case, none of these people had been to the scene where the body was dumped, so they still had to find someone who handled it.

Da Zhao pretended to be brave and zoomed in on the X-ray on the screen. The cut marks on the distal femur were quite obvious.

"The cut marks on Zhou Xiaozhou's bone are different in depth. Are you sure it was caused by a chainsaw?"

Zhou Ning nodded, Da Zhao was able to ask questions, which meant that he had observed carefully, and he was naturally willing to answer.

"Yes, this place is more like a test for wounds. It's just that the operation is not proficient, so the chainsaw shakes back and forth. Furthermore, it also shows that the murderer is not strong enough and is not familiar with chainsaws."

Xiao Sun pushed the door open and came in, a little out of breath.

"Sister Cui from Zhou's Forensic Medical Laboratory said that bone grinding takes time, and the results can be produced in at least three hours."

Zhou Ning nodded, and Da Zhao patted Xiao Sun on the shoulder.

"Sister Cui is the chief of the laboratory?"

Xiao Sun was a little puzzled, but nodded anyway.

"That's right, Sister Cui has a bit of a temper, but she does things very quickly. After all, there are fewer people in the laboratory and more work, and she also takes on the inspection work in the districts and cities below, which is understandable."

Da Zhao bumped Xiao Sun's shoulder, and said with a smile:
"Of course I understand. We are all working people. We have a heavy workload, so naturally we don't have a good temper."

Xu Dayuan had already finished his phone call and walked in front of Zhou Ning.

"Let's go, I've already called someone, let's go to the scene of the corpse throwing together to have a look."

Da Zhao ran to get the inspection box. Of course, these things were checked carefully in the morning.

After all, it is a work tool. Zhou Ning has prepared all his commonly used items. As for his, he has prepared carefully. As for the camera, there are two in the second group, and they all bring him and Xiao Sun one.

An hour and a half later, the car arrived at Xiaolong Mountain in Xinghua City. It was only when we arrived at the scene that we realized that this was a hill with a low height, but the road was extremely difficult to walk. As we walked in, we saw the surveillance cameras at the intersection.

It seems that the so-called peripheral management is just monitoring and managing the roads into the mountain. Not far away, there are some small roads more than two meters wide.

Seeing Zhou Ning looking over, the accompanying staff quickly explained:
"There is a village on Xiaolong Mountain. Although there are not many households in the village now, they still take this small road. People from the archaeological team visited it and said that this village may be related to the tomb guard."

Xu Dayuan exchanged glances with Zhou Ning, and everyone knew in their hearts that anyone who wanted to enter the mountain, as long as he knew the trails, he could avoid being monitored and be unimpeded, and those peripheral controls were all fake.

Along the winding mountain road, they came to the top of the fan-shaped position where the corpses were thrown on the aerial picture. Zhou Ning and Da Zhao compared each other with the picture, and they both nodded.

Although it is halfway up the mountain, the view here is wide, and from this position, it can lead to three directions.

Zhou Ning raised his head slightly, and a large area of ​​Kongtong flowers occupied the field of vision. The shades of pink, hidden in a piece of green, are very beautiful, but although the trees are already green, the canopy is not lush.

From this position at the foot, in the gully near the valley, there are many tall trees. Although the terrain is low, the sunlight is abundant, and the mountains block the wind. It seems that the leaves of this tree are thicker.

Zhou Ning raised his hand to block the sun, looked sideways slightly, and saw nothing unusual as far as his eyes could see.

Xu Dayuan had already directed the people he had brought to spread out towards the top of the mountain and the valley, searching for the bushes and the tops of the big trees. There were more than 20 people, and no one could be seen in a split second.

Zhou Ning raised his head. Birds' nests were rarely seen on the treetops and canopies. Could it be that his judgment was wrong?

Thinking of this, he shook his head, just started searching, and must not be discouraged.

And there should be no mistakes in the direction of this analysis. In such a place, if there is a lot of rain, the forest is deep and the grass is dense, it will be difficult to find the body parts in this area, that is, there are no leaves in February, so it was discovered by the archaeological team. Find.

I don't know how long it took, when Zhou Ning was holding his waist and panting, he suddenly heard a cry above his head, and when he looked up, he only found the leaves shaking.

However, there were no other criminal policemen around him. Just as he was about to call Zhao, a skull appeared from the gaps in the leaves above his head. Zhou Ning almost cried out in excitement, but seeing the monkey standing next to the skull, Zhou Ning Quickly hopped up and made a driving sound.

"Go, go! Go away!"

The two monkeys ran away, and Zhou Ning hurriedly shouted in the direction of his feet:
"Find a ladder, I found a skull!"

As if to cooperate with Zhou Ning, the two macaques also yelled twice, and the whole valley echoed their shouts. Zhou Ning picked up a handful of stones, so he must be careful at this time.

After waiting for a while, the sound of running and panting was getting closer.

"Zhou Xiaozhou, where are you?"

Zhou Ning climbed up a rock, and only then saw Da Zhao and the others at the bottom of the steep slope.

"I'm here, you come around from the side."

Under Zhou Ning's command, the three climbed up to where Zhou Ning was.

"Where?"

Zhou Ning pointed to the skull on the tree branch and sat down on the ground. He was really exhausted.

"Big Zhao, go up, be careful and put the skull and the bird's nest underneath into the evidence bag."

With a vibrato, Da Zhao asked in surprise:

"I'm going, what did the bird do?"

Zhou Ning shook his head.

"The human head weighs 4.5-5.5 kilograms. There is no bird in the Qindao area that can catch this weight. I guess monkeys moved their skulls to trees. Although monkeys are mostly vegetarians, they will still eat meat. of."

Da Zhao looked at Zhou Ning with a broken face and complained.

"I've said it all, we're not in the mood to talk about this, why is it endless, how do you want me to face monkeys in the future?"

Zhou Ning smiled, found the skull, and revealed the identity of the deceased one step further, and he also breathed a sigh of relief.

"You didn't ask this, why are you still blaming me?"
