Chapter 49 A Piece of Indwelling Needle Tape
Zhao Xinli's voice was not low, and Xu Dayuan and He Chunyang threw sharp glances at each other.

Zhao Xinli looked like a quail, too scared to make a sound, and hid behind Zhou Ning.

But what Zhao Xinli said is right. Looking at it coldly, it really looks like a tortoise. The lump has a round center with five protruding parts.

If you look carefully, the man's hair is scattered and covers the face. The length of the hair is more like a woman's. The whole body is spread out, as if tied to a tire casing.

Zhou Ning was also a little shocked by this discovery, and hurried to the front of the truck, but although the distance was close, the reflection of the ice made him unable to distinguish more carefully.

It’s just that there are no shoes and socks on the deceased’s feet, and the clothes and pants are made of light and close-fitting materials. The lilac-colored clothes, black pants, the pants are close to the thighs, and there are two skirts floating up. This is yoga. Clothes?

Xu Dayuan leaned over, and Zhou Ning asked directly.

"How did the reporter find the body?"

"The reporter is the owner of the Tixiang County next door. He took his children to lose weight for a night run. When he passed by, his hat flew off and landed on the ice. He came down and looked for it with his mobile phone. corpse.

This road has just been opened for more than ten days, and it has been snowing for several days in a row, and no one passes by, otherwise it would have been discovered long ago. Xiao Zhou, can you tell when the body was dumped? "

Zhou Ning shook his head, dressed so thinly, it looked like he was thrown into the water when it was not cold, but judging from the hands and feet of the deceased, there was no drowning set, and the body did not show any swelling.

"I can't judge for the time being. I should send it to the autopsy room, remove the ice and do a further autopsy to give information. Can Zhao Xinli identify this tire?"

At this time, the two of them turned their heads one after another. Without Xu Dayuan's orders, Zhao Xinli had already moved closer, almost lying on the ice to look at the tire.

"I can't see the serial number clearly. It needs to be unfrozen to measure and compare. However, this tire and rim are new. I suspect it is a spare tire."

He Chunyang came over, rubbed his hands and said:
"Two footprints deep into the mud were found in the shallow water area, but the size was about the size of a child. It is impossible to tell whether this is related to the case. On the stones on the slope of the embankment, there are traces left by wiping the mud, other tire marks and so on. None, it is estimated that the snow melted away."

Zhao Xinli went to take pictures, and Zhou Ning handed him the evidence bag and the bottle. Zhao Xinli took samples of the soil under the embankment and the ice, and then filled a bottle of water. Xu Dayuan waved his hand.

"Okay, let's transport the corpse back quickly, and finish the case early. Today is the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, and the young year is abolished. You don't want to spend New Year's Eve in the team, do you? Hurry up!"

Zhao Xinli shouted angrily, still holding his cotton coat.

"I took the cotton coat for nothing!"

Three hours later, in the dissection room of the Eighth Hospital.

The ice on the body of the deceased had gradually melted away. Zhao Xinli fanned the wind with a splint with one hand, wiped his sweat with the other hand, and poked Zhou Ning with his elbow.

"Xiao Zhou's forensic air conditioner can turn down the temperature a bit, the ice has melted."

Zhou Ning, who was neatly dressed, nodded. There were quite a lot of people in the dissecting room at this time. There was a lady's cotton slipper on the trolley next to the dissecting table. It was so wet that there was no ice.

The bottom of the slippers is worn, and there are traces of trampling in the middle of the inner side. There is a 36-38 mark inside, which should be the shoe size.

Zhou Ning returned to the dissecting table, and everyone surrounded him. He was a little nervous when he was surrounded by so many people watching the autopsy. A rope, waved to Zhao Xinli.

"Help me lift the tires onto this flat car, and then you take pictures of the tires and measure the dimensions."

With the leader present, Zhao Xinli didn't dare to say anything else. He leaned over to lift up the tire with Xiao Liu. As the tire was lifted up, Zhou Ning pressed down on the corpse below, and the clothes of the deceased were torn and made a squeaking sound. , and then the tire was removed.

Zhou Ning didn't manage the tires, but looked at the dead woman. The woman looked like she was in her 20s, with curly flaxen hair over her shoulders, as if she was asleep, and there was no painful expression on her face , looks very beautiful.

There are no jewelry on the ears, neck and fingers, and the nails are very neatly trimmed. They are bald without any long nails. The tight yoga clothes outline a good figure.

Zhou Ning grabbed the woman's hand, and at the same time a line of words appeared on the large transparent screen, and the sound of beeps came from his ears. Zhou Ning almost hummed comfortably, and the system finally came back to life.

Drop, the system releases the task, please bind the person to choose the difficulty of the task.

A. Primary tasks; B. Intermediate tasks; C. Advanced tasks.

Zhou Ning didn't even think about it, he just clicked on the intermediate task. He is not greedy. The rewards for the primary task are very low. Appropriate for the situation at hand.

The binding person selects the intermediate task, and the task is released now.

Intermediate task content:

1. The time limit for identifying the deceased is 60 minutes based on the body surface information.

2. To find out the cause of death, find the murderer, and all the evidence, the time limit is 96 hours.

mission rewards:

After the task is completed, you can select the reward required by the binding person in the system list, or upgrade the existing task. Please note that the countdown starts.

With another beep, two countdowns began to tick.

Zhou Ning pushed the glasses with his shoulder, and the large transparent screen moved directly to the upper right corner of the glasses. Zhou Ning was flattered by this thoughtful service.

But now I don’t have time to express myself, so I quickly and carefully observed the corpse, from the cornea, the mouth, the skull, the back to the toes, not letting go of any corner, measuring the height and estimating the weight.

Of course, the yoga clothes were carefully turned upside down. The yoga clothes only had a slanted pocket at the waist, which contained a plastic film-like thing. When two creases were opened, it was found to be a piece of tape with a curved white background.

Zhou Ning held the piece of adhesive tape, and lifted up the magnifying glass to observe it carefully. This thing looked familiar, but he couldn’t remember it for a while. When he tore off the white piece in the middle, a rectangular transparent part appeared in the middle. Very big.

Zhou Ning raised his head in a daze, and looked at Xu Dayuan next to him. At this moment, Xu Dayuan hurried over, knowing that Zhou Ning must have discovered something.

"What did you find, forensic doctor Xiao Zhou?"

Zhou Ning held up the tape and showed it to Xu Dayuan.

"This is the adhesive tape of the indwelling needle, folded like this and put it in the pocket. It feels like it has been here for a while. I suspect that the deceased worked in the hospital, and it is more likely to be a nurse. The most indwelling needles are used in pediatrics, pediatrics, etc. Operating room, internal medicine, those who need to hang water for a long time, large doses of rehydration, or people who are inconvenient to get needles every day.”

"You mean, the deceased could have been a nurse, and a nurse in the pediatrics, operating room, or internal medicine?"

Zhou Ning nodded.

"Well, the possibility is very high. In addition, the deceased had a blunt force injury on the head, a bone fricative [1], and local swelling, indicating that the deceased was injured by a blunt force on the head, resulting in a coma, and was then tied up with a tire. Sinking into the water, as to whether it was drowning, further autopsy is required.

The pupils of the deceased were opaque, and the corpse spots were all on the back. After the corpse was thrown into the water after death, it was always in a supine position without being moved, and it was suddenly cooled and frozen after falling into the water to stop the corpse from decomposing. Retains the state of the deceased at the time of death.

Xu Da can ask people to check the weather, and if he wants to throw the corpse into the water, at least it is not in a frozen state, but it can keep the corpse in such a fresh state. It is frozen after rapid cooling, and even snow, the ice surface is covered, until It was only discovered yesterday when the snow melted.

In addition, the deceased was wearing yoga clothes, so it was not in the early morning or in the evening. You can't wear such a thin body during the day to exercise, unless it is a time when you don't have to go to work, but this does not match the indwelling needle tape found on her body. "

Zhou Ning frowned slightly, and only focused on describing what he thought of. The tone of this passage was not very good, but he glanced at Xu Dayuan, saw that he directly dialed a phone number, and began to ask questions.

"I'm Xu Dayuan, you can check for me. When the temperature was very high in the morning or in the evening, the river water was thawing, and then the temperature suddenly dropped?"

【1】Bone fricative sound: the feeling of friction at the broken end of a fracture caused by external force, muscle tension or bone disease.
