Attending ex-girlfriend's wedding, arresting the groom's officer on the spot

Chapter 374 Corpses in the Garbage Heap

Lao Bai wanted to slap himself in the face.

I had nothing to nag about about the case, but now it’s all right, the case is really here.

"Look, this case just won't resist talking about it. Let's go."

Lao Yang put the college entrance examination application guide backwards on his desk and started to put on his police uniform.

Lu Chuan also put down the anthurium and put on his police uniform.

Unlike most front-line criminal police officers, technical criminal police officers such as Lu Chuan wear police uniforms when they appear on scene.

The main reason is that front-line criminal police officers wear plainclothes to hide their identity during the investigation and handling of cases, but technical criminal police officers do not have this concern. Wearing police uniforms at the crime scene is more conducive to distinguishing identities.

There was even words printed on the backs of the police uniforms of the four Lu and Chuan people when they went out: On-site Investigation.

This time it was a rare group dispatch for the four people from the current survey office. Lu Chuan acted as the driver, drove a professional survey vehicle, and set off with the large group.

"Old Liu, what's the specific situation?"

In the car, Lao Yang checked the equipment and asked about the case.

"We just had a morning meeting and it was about to end when we received an alarm."

Liu Guodong thought it was another day of fishing. After all, today's morning meeting had already been held for an hour.

According to past experience, if the morning meeting can only last an hour, there should be no cases today. Unexpectedly, when Qin Yong just announced that the meeting was adjourned, he received an alarm.

And it's murder.

"This morning, the Cangfanggou Police Station received a report that a scavenger found a body in the Cangfanggou landfill."

"I don't have any news about the specific situation yet. We'll see when we get to the scene."

Lao Liu said it easily, but Lao Bai and Yang Sen looked very ugly.

“In the landfill this time?”

Liu Guodong nodded: "This case... is not going to be easy, so be mentally prepared."

The two nodded silently, and Lao Bai patted Lu Chuan on the shoulder: "Xiao Lu, how many gas masks are there in the car?"

Starting from the beginning of this year, all instruments and equipment in the field survey office, including field survey vehicles, have been managed by Lu Chuan.

This work was previously handled by Yang Sen, but later due to the establishment of the trace evidence laboratory and the introduction of some advanced criminal investigation equipment, Yang Sen did not know how to use many of the equipment.

Lu Chuan naturally took over, so Lu Chuan knew best what equipment was in the survey car.

"There are five pairs of gas masks. I prepared one for each of us and a backup."

"Okay, reliable, you'll be able to use it later."

Although Lu Chuan had never experienced a similar site before, he knew exactly what the landfill was when he heard its name.

It's strange that a place like this can taste good.

Cangfanggou Landfill is located in the suburbs. There are not many people around. It is far away from the city. It takes more than an hour to drive there.

At 10:30 am, although the rain stopped, the weather was still gloomy.

Qin Yong led the team. After getting off the car, Li Hong, the director of Cangfanggou Police Station, came over to report the case.

Li Hong is a rare female police station director in the Haizhou City Public Security Bureau. Lu Chuan heard that she was also a legend in the past.

Once, while on vacation, I single-handedly arrested a wanted criminal.

"The station received the report at 08:30 this morning. Some scavengers found a black suitcase deep in the landfill. After opening it, they found the body, and then reported the case."

"We have a preliminary understanding of the waste picker who reported the case. He is from the nearby Cangfanggou Village. During his spare time, he came over to look through the garbage. He has been doing this for more than ten years."

"There were several people from the village who were traveling with him at the time, and they probably asked about the situation."

Li Hong's report was very short, or in other words, there weren't many clues at the moment.

This time, at least there were no onlookers around the scene.The smell of the landfill is not something that most people can tolerate. Fortunately, it rained today, so the unpleasant smell is not so pungent under the cover of the rain.

"Ren Qiang, ask the garbage truck over there to stop first and wait until the site survey is completed before dumping the garbage."

In the distance, there are garbage trucks lining up to dump garbage.

"Investigation now, forensic scientists will arrive first."

The body was packed in a box. Obviously this was not the first scene. The murderer should have dumped the body here.

Therefore, it is unlikely that we can obtain any useful clues from the surrounding environment, such as footprints and fingerprints.

We can only start from the corpse.

Shen Yan and Wang Changjiang came in another car.

Lu Chuan handed the spare gas mask to Shen Yan: "Put this on."

As for Wang Changjiang...there was really nothing he could do. He only had five gas masks in total.

Fortunately, Liu Guodong and Lao Bai didn't wear either. The six of them put on shoe covers and prepared their equipment and were the first to enter the venue.

The body was found deep inside the landfill, about 500 meters away from the roadside.

Cangfanggou Landfill is one of the largest landfill sites in Haizhou City and has a history of ten years.

The entire landfill covers a very large area, with a length of five kilometers from north to south and three kilometers from east to west.

The area where the body was found was not visible from the parking spot, because it was rugged and filled with garbage, just like a real mountain.

After walking for about 20 minutes, a few people trudged over.

Fortunately, I wore waterproof shoe covers, otherwise...

I can’t ask for any more shoes.

There were already two policemen watching the scene. When they saw the investigators approaching, they quickly said hello.

"Leader, I leave this to you. We will withdraw first."

The two policemen were one old and one young. They were obviously a master and an apprentice.

Someone comes and takes over and they can leave.

This place is really not for people.

"Xiao Lu, let's take pictures first."

The suitcase has been opened, and the corpse inside has obviously been dismembered. The body is in one piece, and the arms and thighs have been removed and stacked on both sides of the body, neatly stacked.

On-site survey and photography are the prerequisite for all steps. Lu Chuan was very skilled. He adjusted the camera, placed the serial number plate, and completed the shooting in less than 5 minutes.

"Old Wang, together?"

The crime scene is definitely not the first scene. The on-site investigation and forensics can work simultaneously.

Wang Changjiang nodded: "Then let's go together."

Because the box was not too big, each of them took out a section of the arm.

"There is mildew on the body parts, the body spots have disappeared, and the time of death has not been short."

Liu Guodong observed his arm carefully and soon made some discoveries.

Wang Changjiang nodded in approval: "There are layers of mildew on the corpse. Consider whether there are traces of freezing."

Mold on a corpse, in layman's terms, means that the corpse grows hair due to the growth of mold in a dark and humid environment.

For moldy corpses, the time of death of the corpse can be determined based on the length and growth of mycelium.

Lu Chuan had experience and knowledge in this area in his intermediate spot survey skills, but this was the first time Lu Chuan encountered a real moldy corpse.
