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

"What's left...is too little."

Lu Chuan took the ashes sifted through the sieve and looked at it carefully.

I totally agree with what Yang Sen said.

But just because there are few things, doesn’t mean there can’t be gains.

"The two remaining small bones should be the sole bones and finger bones."

"These two... teeth that haven't been burned yet?"

Although there were very few remaining bones and the size was very small, Lu Chuan was still able to determine which part of the body it belonged to after careful identification.

Zhang Hui has already finished understanding the general situation of the report.

There were no valuable clues. Among the rangers in the surrounding several square kilometers, the only one who reported the crime was the one who reported the crime.

Normally no one comes to the mountain, and the rangers only visit once a year.

Moreover, there are many side roads in Beishan. It is impossible to find out where the suspect came up from and when he came up.

Since there was no human habitation within a few kilometers, it was impossible to have any witnesses.

From the action team's point of view, this case is very difficult to detect.

When Zhang Hui saw that Lu Chuan only had two burnt black teeth and two small bones in his hand, his brows furrowed even deeper.

"Lu Chuan, have you found any clues here?"

"There are some clues, but they don't mean much."

"Oh? Tell me first? My eyes are dark."

"First, around the crime scene, some tire marks left by tricycles were found."

"Judging from the depth of the tire marks, the tricycle's tires are relatively new. It can be judged that the tires were purchased not long ago and are not badly worn."

Of course, in some specific cases, Lu Chuan would have to go back and conduct data analysis on tire marks.

And by comparing some tricycles on the market based on tire pattern patterns, it is possible to confirm the brand of the tricycle.

However, this information is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack. As long as the brand of the tricycle is not a niche brand, it is difficult to narrow down the scope of the criminal suspect.

Moreover, the area around Beishan was already sparsely populated, so no one knew where the other party came from to dump the body and burn it, and no one knew how far away it was.

But having tire marks found is better than nothing.

At least now we know what tools the other party used to transport the body.

"In addition, the area where the body was burned was probably less than one meter."

Lu Chuan and Zhang Hui gestured around the entire burning area.

"If the other party burned the body directly, the ashes should be in the shape of a human body."

"But the trace of the burned body at the scene was a circle with a diameter of less than one meter, indicating that the other party probably dismembered the body and then burned it here."

"So it is basically certain that this place is most likely not the scene of the first crime."

"In addition, the murderer used an accelerant in the process of burning the body."

This is relatively easy to judge.

Because ordinary corpses cannot burn so fully during the burning process.

Not even a single large bone was left at the scene.

However, the exact composition of the combustion accelerant used by the other party is still unknown.

It might be diesel, it might be gasoline or alcohol, etc.

Yang Sen had just collected the soil under the ashes, and he would be able to find out if he went back and did some identification and analysis.

"Are there any others?"

"That's all for now. We will identify the remaining bones later, but the information obtained may not be particularly accurate."

Although there were only two small bones, the sole of the foot and the finger bone, through some mathematical calculations, Lu Chuan was still able to obtain some information about the victim's body shape.

After the two had a rough exchange, Lu Chuan would continue to conduct on-site investigation.

"Brother Yang, bring over the small sieve in the car. I'm going through the ashes."

"Okay, wait for me a moment."

A few minutes later, Lu Chuan held a small sieve with a diameter of ten centimeters in his hand and screened the ashes more carefully.

Yang Sen and others squatted aside and watched.

The main reason why the ashes need to be screened a second time is to see if there are any other finer traces remaining.

This time, the screening was not like the one just now, where the three people left the place covered in ashes. Lu Chuan squatted on the ground and gently shook the small sieve in his hand, while the other three people stared inside the sieve.

Focus on meticulousness and not miss any detail.

"stop!"

Yang Sen's eyes were sharp and he suddenly shouted stop.

Then pick out a very small round bead among the fine ashes.

"what?"

"I don't know, it feels hard."

The thing is not big, only two or three millimeters in diameter.

"It looks like iron beads. Take it back and test it."

Lu Chuan continued the screening and soon made another discovery.

"what is this?"

The thing in Lu Chuan's hand was a nail-shaped object only about half a centimeter long.

Something like a rivet.

"It seems like a bone nail?"

Bone nails?

Tian Feng spoke.

“This spring my father slipped while going out and broke his hand.”

"It was time for the hospital to set up the bones and put in bone nails. The doctor said they were made of titanium alloy and healed well without rejection, but they were a bit expensive."

"I saw the sample the doctor gave me at the time...it seemed to be this thing."

"Take it back and compare it at the hospital to find out."

Several people have been busy working, and then discovered some details.

For example, the remains of buttons that are not completely melted.

There are also some remnants of the metal zipper.

In addition, and more importantly, a hook-like item was found.

Lu Chuan didn't recognize this thing, but Lao Bai did.

"IUD, made of stainless steel, the deceased is a woman!"

After half a day of screening, the on-site investigation came to an end.

The harvest from current survey is not small.

Two bones and two teeth were found among the ashes of the burned body.

There was also the remains of a stainless steel contraceptive ring.

A tiny iron bead-like remnant.

A nail-like object that was probably a bone nail.

A bit of button remnants.

A little zipper residue.

There are a lot of things, but what role they can play is still unknown.

After the on-site work, Lu Chuan returned to the criminal investigation detachment and carried out related work intensively.

The first one is about the analysis of two small bones.

Theoretically speaking, the length and size of the human body's bones are in a certain proportion to the height.

Based on the size of each bone, the height of the body can be roughly calculated in turn.

Of course, relatively speaking, longer limb bones such as the tibia and humerus are more accurate in determining height.

But skulls and ribs have disadvantages in this regard.

The remaining bones found at the crime scene were parts of the metacarpal bones of the feet and palm bones.

Relatively speaking, although it is relatively short, it is still a limb bone.

Lu Chuan could probably get some rough information about the height of the deceased.

In addition, Lu Chuan also discovered a more important clue regarding the bones. (End of chapter)
