novice forensic medicine

Chapter 118 Beast!
Xu Dayuan's words were very influential, and almost all the people in the forensic teaching and research department nodded in agreement.

Zhou Ning stared into Xu Dayuan's eyes, and knew from the first day he knew him that he was impatient, but he was never decisive.

But today, he was impatient.

However, it is more difficult to detect such a case exposed by the media, especially when there is a military order to solve the case within one month, he is under great pressure.

However, this case is indeed special. Now is not the time to convince anyone. A second on-site inspection is necessary. As for the bones, it seems that they need to be carefully observed again.

"I will study the bones of the deceased carefully later, but from the current evidence, I have not found any definite evidence that Luo Suqin killed Zhang Min'an."

Xu Dayuan seemed to have something to say, after all, Zhou Ning actually made such a judgment on a case that was almost certain, which completely overturned his cognition, and Director Pang reached out to stop him.

"I said Captain Xu, there is no point in arguing now. The first priority of the technical department is to ensure that the evidence brought back today can be tested as soon as possible. As for the second inspection, let Da Zhao and the others go now to investigate the cause of death. , we held a meeting overnight to discuss, what do you think?"

Xu Dayuan nodded, and glanced at Zhou Ning. He was a little anxious just now, and it was a bit too much to yell at Zhou Ning. After all, he had just reported for work, which would not be conducive to his work in the technical department. Think about it and say in a gentle tone .

"The case has been stuck since the beginning, and after finally finding some clues, it deviated from the original judgment, so I am a little anxious, Zhou Xiaozhou, don't take it to heart.

I will take Da Zhao and the others away first, and I will conduct a visit to the surrounding areas. As for the site where the corpse was dumped, I will also have someone search it again carefully. Let me know the results here, and we will summarize them. In addition, I have to inform his son Zhang Guoqing , also need to do a DNA comparison. "

After Xu Dayuan took the people away, Da Zhaolin went out and raised two fingers to salute Zhou Ning. Zhou Ning gave a blank look with a smile.

Director Pang brushed his hair and looked at the rest of the teaching and research room. The people from the Department of Physics and Chemistry and the Department of Trace Inspection had all left, leaving only Zhou Ning and the forensic doctors in the four and five groups.

"Captain Xu is under a lot of pressure. Taking office is a big job. We also understand that as for the search for the cause of death, it is not possible to find out in a moment. Forensic doctor Zhou will go to rest first, and the four groups and five groups will summarize and sort it out first."

Zhu Zuozhang and Feng Zhijian didn't say much, and Zhou Ning also finished the big head. After all, it was a cooperation, and there was nothing to choose even if they went to the scene.

But Zhou Ning still hurriedly said:

"Thank you, Director Pang, but I don't need to rest. I will continue to look for the cause of death in a while. It would be even better if I can find the photos of the scene where the bones were discovered."

Zhu Zuozhang was quick, walked to the computer with a hard drive, and found the photos of the corpse throwing scene. After all, they can be seen more clearly on the big screen.

Zhou Ning observed one by one, each picture was numbered, and then he walked to the table, the bones of the deceased had been rearranged, picked up the 3 and 4 ribs on the right side of the deceased, dragged over the magnifying glass with LED lights observe.

Sure enough, there were signs of erosion on the inner sides of the two ribs, more like they had been bitten and a part was missing, and the cartilage had completely disappeared. When he observed it before, he also regarded it as the result of animal gnawing. After all, these bones have been exposed outside for a long time .

"The late trace inspection found the on-site photos of the 3rd and 4th ribs on the right side, let's compare them."

Following Director Pang's yelling, a thin trace inspector came over and threw a notebook to Zhou Ning.

It seems that I fiddled with too many times before, and found two pictures in a short while, and the pictures on the big screen were enlarged.

Zhou Ning walked over and pointed to a location next to the ribs with a laser pointer.

"Enlarge here."

Seeing that Zhou Ning seemed to see something, several other forensic doctors also came over. They had seen these pictures countless times, but they didn't find any problems.

The definition of the picture is very high. As it zooms in, beside the grass blades and snow on the edge of the ribs, there seem to be a few black particles the size of rice grains. Those irregular particles do not reflect light.

Zhu Zuozhang was the first to react.

"Before, we analyzed the defects on these ribs. After all, the cartilage is gone, and it looks more like the gnawing of animals."

Zhou Ning nodded to Zhu Zuozhang. After all, the old forensic doctor had experience, and after finding the problem and comparing it, he could see the problem naturally, but obviously they didn't think much about it before, let alone did such a comparison.

"Before I saw the deceased's medical records, I thought so too, but now I see that this is caused by cancer erosion, and those black particles are the missing parts, so let's continue."

As he spoke, Zhou Ning moved two steps sideways and began to re-examine the skull of the deceased.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and it took more than three hours in the blink of an eye. After Zhou Ning saw all the skeletons and pictures of the scene, the judgment in his mind became clearer.

Zhu Zuozhang came over, took off his gloves and mask, and said:
"Forensic doctor Zhou checked all the other bones. Except for these cut marks, no fatal wounds were found. I think it can be concluded that the deceased died naturally, right?"

Zhou Ning shook his head and sighed, this is where he scratched his head the most.

"Currently, the deceased's thyroid cartilage and hyoid bone are intact, and he was not strangled to death, strangled, or violently traumatized. Although the body's bones were cut, there was no post-mortem injury, and no poisoning reaction was found in the toxicology test. .

However, suicide methods such as wrist cutting, drowning, suffocation, and air embolism cannot be ruled out, but these cannot be proved. It seems that we still have to wait for the results of the second on-site inspection. "

"Hey, this is back to square one."

The chubby forensic doctor Feng Zhijian also leaned over at this moment, pushing his glasses and saying.

"Not counting back to the original point, the more we exclude, the closer to the truth."

Zhou Ning nodded. He agreed with this sentence. These tasks were not done in vain. Xu Dayuan and the others were under pressure, so they were naturally eager to find the murderer. After all, it was a dismemberment case and it was reported by foreign media. The most important thing is to start from the perspective of reality and restore the truth.

Director Pang glanced at the time and waved to everyone.

"When it's done, go to eat and take a break. Even if there are clues in the second investigation, we have to wait for them to come back."

Everyone didn't insist anymore, they were all tired after all, Zhou Ning returned to his office with the translated manuscripts and notebooks brought back from Zhang Min'an's home.

Xiao Sun went to the cafeteria to have dinner, and didn't dare to disturb Zhou Ning.

After brewing two bags of instant coffee and putting on gloves, Zhou Ning began to look through these things.

The manuscript is a book about the analysis and comparison of the Tang Dynasty architecture in China and the existing Japanese ancient architecture. Judging from the handwritten records and annotations on it, the publishing house asked Zhang Min'an to translate it. Turn to the last page of the last book. The translation should have been completed, and it is estimated that the finishing work is left.

Zhou Ning put down the manuscripts, then looked at the notebooks, and put the professional vocabulary on the side. Two diaries caught his attention, because when he opened the first page, there was a date.

【XNUM X Year X NUM X Month X NUM X Day】

Xiaoqing called in the morning. He needed to clear up the relationship for the doctoral selection, and he just asked for money.

Suqin told him to give it to him, but this is the third time this year. Either the wife has transferred jobs, or the child has to register for classes, and the minimum cost is [-] to [-]. She also said that she knows that I am accepting translation work. The translation fee was wasted again.

Oh, sin!
again?
That is to say, this kind of threat is not the first time, and it has been done before.

Zhou Ning frowned slightly. Xu Dayuan asked someone to ask Zhang Guoqing before. The person said that he only called his father to report his safety during the Chinese New Year. It seemed that this was not the case.

Zhou Ning continued to read, and there were such records almost every one or two months. It seemed that Zhang Guoqing knew that his father made a lot of money translating manuscripts. no shame.

【XNUM X Year X NUM X Month X NUM X Day】

When I returned home from the publishing house in the afternoon, I found Suqin lying motionless on the ground with blood all over her head.

I was terrified, so I quickly called an ambulance. After some emergency treatment, my life was finally out of danger. After I questioned her, Suqin finally told the truth.

In the morning, Xiaoqing came and told her when he entered the door, I heard that we bought a house and it was still under Suqin's name. If I didn't know about the two of us, I wouldn't commit suicide.

Suqin didn't know what to do, she couldn't argue with Xiaoqing, and wanted to call me, but the bastard pushed Suqin down, hit her head on the bookcase, searched the house all over, and took away more than 2 cash in the house Do a clean search.

I wanted to call and scold Xiaoqing, but Suqin stopped me. She said that she couldn't explain what happened back then from the child's point of view. Although we were not wrong, we shouldn't break the relationship. Xiaoqing's mother will not be too hard to think about.

But for so many years, we feel guilty, and we are supporting him to study, start a family, buy a house, and even all their expenses. How can we still say such a thing?

The purchase price of the new house was the demolition fund of Suqin's hometown. A total of more than 80 yuan was paid for the demolition and relocation, of which [-] yuan was added to Xiaoqing, what a beast!
