Chapter 184 The Meaning of Tattoos

The next day.

Zhou Ning came to the technical department, changed his clothes without going to the office, and came to the dissection room, but as soon as he entered, he saw several familiar figures, each wearing a gas mask, standing in front of the row of pressure cookers.

"Oh, it's early enough."

At this time, Zhu Xingxing scooped up a strainer in the pot, then picked out the bones inside and put them on a tray on one side.

"Team leader, don't worry, we will finish tidying up right away, but I want everyone in our group to feel it."

Zhou Ning smiled, and walked to a platform next to the dissecting table. There were already some skeletons placed here. I have to praise the hardware conditions of the Municipal Bureau. Yesterday, they made high-rotten corpses, and in the middle of the night they boiled and cleared the bones of large pieces of rotten flesh. , There is no smell today.

Zhu Xingxing brought the tray over, then placed the bones on the table, and stretched vigorously.

"We came down after five o'clock, and the assembly was finally finished."

Zhou Ning was a little surprised.

"Dormitory rest?"

"Ah."

"Why didn't you go home?"

"My family has all gone to other places, and no one is at home. Why don't we just make a living in the dormitory and ask them to come over to fight the bones earlier, so that we won't delay things."

Zhou Ning nodded. He didn't ask too much. After all, she and Da Zhao grew up together. It was better not to know what identity and family background they were in a military compound.

However, Zhou Ning still doesn't understand why he chooses to do this job with such an identity.

After putting on the gloves, Da Zhao had already handed over the magnifying glass on the rocker arm. Zhou Ning walked to the bones of the corpse and began to identify them carefully.

After careful inspection and comparison with the archived reference map of the pubic symphysis, Zhou Ning gave an age range of the deceased, from 22 to [-] years old.

Of course, on the tibia of the deceased’s right calf, there was also a thickened crack, which cannot be found without looking carefully, because it is wider than ordinary bone crack marks, and the marks are shallow. Zhu Xingxing held up a magnifying glass, He looked puzzled.

"When I just fished it out, I saw the thickening here. However, girls don't play football. The fracture in the middle of the tibia is still too rare. Could it be caused by strenuous exercise or spinning and jumping?"

Zhou Ning took a look at the left tibia and fibula of the deceased. There was also thickening at the lower part of the tibia of the left leg. The shape was similar to that of the right leg. The thickening was long and narrow. The two cracks meandered around the tibia and looked old Yes, sort of like a spiral shape.

"This one bone crack and one fracture were all caused twelve or three years ago to ten years ago. As the bones grow, the positions of these bone cracks are extended, so the traces like this are formed. If it is In adults, there is no change in the position of the fractured bone."

Zhu Xingxing looked puzzled.

"However, ten years ago, the deceased was about ten years old, and between the age of 12, what did he do that would cause fractures and fractures?"

Zhou Ning shook his head, stared at the missing hands and feet of the deceased, thought for a moment and said:

"It's impossible to judge. Perhaps this is also the reason why the deceased's hands and feet were cut off. Have the laboratory test results come out?"

Hearing Zhou Ning's question, Da Zhao hurriedly waved at Xiao Sun, and Sun Gaotie walked over quickly holding a stack of documents.

"Sister Cui sent someone to deliver it."

Zhou Ning looked through it carefully. No seawater components were found in the lungs of the deceased. No toxic components were found in the poison tests of other blood in the heart. No parasites or genetic diseases were found in the major organ samples submitted by the deceased.

Turning to the last page, this is the report of three bone grinding films. In the bone grinding films of the neck, hands and feet, no blood cells were found in the bone canalules.

Zhou Ning sighed, closed his eyes and returned the report to Sun Gaotie.

Da Zhao and the others also came over, and Da Zhao patted Zhou Ning's shoulder. The pressure of such a case of headless body dismemberment and dumping was really great. After all, there were too few clues. As long as the details of the identity of the deceased could be found, the murderer They have all lost their minds.

Especially the absence of the head made it impossible for the laboratory to do anything. After all, what they are best at is restoring the appearance of the skull, but how can they do it without a head?
Zhou Ning looked at the whiteboard behind him, and kept recording the known conditions, the location of the corpse, and various photos on the whiteboard one by one, and then looked at Zhu Xingxing.

"According to the records on this whiteboard, you will issue an autopsy report. As for the time of death of the deceased, it is estimated to be about a month."

Zhu Xingxing let out an oh, then nodded, and went over to ask, team leader, what are you going to do without committing a crime.

Seeing Zhou Ning taking off his clothes and going upstairs, Da Zhao waved his hand to everyone.

"Okay, what should I do? Get out the autopsy report as soon as possible. As for the bones of the deceased, let's put them in this dissecting room. It's too troublesome to move them back and forth."

Zhou Ning had already arrived at the laboratory on the fourth floor. After swiping his card, he opened the door to enter, and saw Momo Xia standing in the middle of the room.

"The tattoo on Momo's body, do you have a pattern here? According to your intuition in painting, help me analyze, what does this pattern mean?"

Xia Momo had already turned on the computer at this time, and the tattoo pattern was enlarged on the screen. Actually, Zhou Ning the cat thought that this pattern was a bit far-fetched, because the pattern was very abstract, like two curved tails, curling in two directions, but At the tip of the 'tail' in the upper right corner, there are two cat ears shapes, and below is a curly deformed r.

It's a bit like an ancient mural painting. If you can tell your first impression, Zhou Ning is more inclined to the pattern of a seahorse, but for Zhou Ning, whose painting is only superficial, Xia Momo is just like this. experts.

Xia Momo was not in a hurry, and found a book, this one is "Letter Transformation and Logo Design", found a graphic, and handed it to Zhou Ning.

"Actually, I turned to this book when I went back last night. Is there a possibility that this pattern is not an animal, but a deformation of a letter. If it is analyzed in this direction, then this figure looks more like an X as a whole. If Divided into two parts for analysis, here is more like a capital T below the warped part, which is the curly r."

Zhou Ning paused, because he saw this r just now, but Xia Momo's analysis felt very reasonable, he stared at Xia Momo and kept nodding.

"If it is analyzed in this way, can this graph be imagined as two combinations, XTR or simply not pursuing the whole, just a TR, I think this may be a name."

"Too soft-hearted?"

Da Zhao looked puzzled, and opened his mouth to say something. Seeing Zhou Ning looking over, he quickly covered his mouth and raised his hand to express his apology.

Xia Momo tilted her head, followed by analysis:
"I don't think it's necessarily my name, it's more likely to be my boyfriend's name."

Zhou Ning paused, then simply shook his head.

"The edge of this tattoo is a little blue, not that kind of pure black. I think the tattoo should be at least five or six years old, not just done. According to the analysis of the pubic symphysis just now, the age of the deceased was between 20-22. So when the tattoo is fourteen five? I think it is unlikely."

Xia Momo smiled and did not refute. Anyway, Zhou Ning is more professional in this area, so she just needs to help Zhou Ning analyze it.

"I called Xu Da, and this analysis is actually a direction."

"Okay, I've made a note. According to what you said, the time of death was about a month. We found a missing person in Liuhe District. I'll go and have a look first, so I won't tell you."

After hanging up the phone, Xu Dayuan waved his hand at Bai Ruixin.

"I'm not full, or did you buy a driver's license?"

Bai Ruixin stepped on the gas pedal to the bottom, Xu Dayuan closed his eyes due to the crazy pushing back, and Bai Ruixin kept complaining.

"Let me tell you, boss, this car has more than one or two violations. I don't have any deduction points."

Xu Dayuan didn't open his eyes at all, the speed of the car was fast, and he arrived near Shazikou, the southernmost point of Liuhe District, and went straight to the Shazikou Frontier Police Station.

After searching in the system just now, Xu Dayuan looked at the more than 20 missing persons who met the requirements. Only this woman from Shazikou caught his attention. The others were either of the wrong age, gender, or height.

In particular, the body of the deceased was found in Xiaofu Island, and the coastline closest to the land in a straight line is Shazikou. All this is too coincidental.

Feeling the car stop, Xu Dayuan opened his eyes.

Opening the door and stepping out of the car, a set of movements flowed smoothly. Bai Ruixin's words were stuck in his throat and he didn't say it. He locked the car and muttered.

At this time, another police car that was chasing after him also stopped. Xiao Zeng glanced at Bai Ruixin and shouted angrily:
"You were speeding all the way, were you chased by a dog?"

Bai Ruixin couldn't do it wronged, pointed to the direction where Xu Dayuan disappeared and said:

"It's not that you don't know the boss's temper. You still think I'm slow. I can't fly. If I could fly, I would have flown here earlier."

"Small poverty."

As he said that, Xiao Zeng also went in, and when he got inside, he saw Xu Dayuan shaking hands with someone, and then came out with a file in his arms.

"What's the matter, Team Xu?"

"Go to the conversation room next door. The husband of the missing person is here. Let's go and ask."

When the two passed by, they saw an honest man who was definitely over 40 years old. Xu Dayuan looked through the files. The man's name was Cheng Zhipeng, 44 years old, and he found a daughter-in-law who was 22 years younger. I don't know if there is something in it For unknown reasons.

Standing in the conversation room, with dark skin, thin body, hands constantly rubbing on both sides, obviously very nervous.

"Don't be nervous, let's check with you. Is it your wife who disappeared? What's her name? How old is she? Tell me about the process of disappearance, or the information you already know."

"My daughter-in-law is Zhu Cuifeng. She is 22. There are two sons at home, one is five years old and the other is two years old. She went out on September 9 and did not come back. Her hometown is in southern Shaanxi Province. There are no acquaintances here. No one is alive. There is no corpse!"

Xu Dayuan paused, thinking of Zhou Ning's judgment, the deceased did not have children, obviously this missing person had nothing to do with the deceased, he sighed, but he still did not give up.

"Does Zhu Cuifeng have tattoos on her legs?"

The man blinked.

"I don't know, I didn't pay attention!"

Xu Dayuan narrowed his eyes and slapped the table.

"I'm from the criminal police team, not from the Shazikou Police Station. Do you not know the seriousness of the matter? Can I come to you if there is no problem? Why don't you tell me the truth?"

With a plop, Cheng Zhipeng knelt on the ground, trembling all over.

"I said, I bought my daughter-in-law for 3 yuan six years ago, and I lost 3 yuan when she ran away!"

　I have a fever and want to rest for a day, if I still feel uncomfortable tomorrow, I will stop updating for a day!
