Chapter 830 The corpse by the river

Naturally, there was no way to eat the hot pot. After receiving Chen Jiang's call, Lu Chuan hurriedly separated from Shen Yan and drove to Fenhe.

When Lu Chuan arrived, more than a dozen people from the Criminal Police Brigade had already rushed to the scene.

"Marine Corps, the body was found by someone walking nearby. We called the police twenty minutes ago."

"We are preparing to salvage it."

As soon as Lu Chuan got off the car, Chen Jiang hurried over and reported the general situation.

"Let's go over and have a look."

In addition to people from the Criminal Police Brigade, people from the local police station are also at the scene and are currently maintaining order and setting up a cordon.

Because this time is when everyone goes out for a walk in the evening, and there are more people around.

“Extend the cordon wider, ask people around you to move back, and do not allow taking photos or videos.”

When he arrived at the river, Lu Chuan had already put on rubber gloves. Three policemen were on the shore, using hooks to hook the bodies in the river and pull them toward the shore.

The bank of the Fen River in this section is a pedestrian path built by the government and equipped with street lights, so you can roughly see part of the situation on the river.

"Did you call the police?"

Next to him, there was a middle-aged man sitting on the ground with a pale face.

When the man saw someone asking him, he nodded stiffly.

"I found it while walking. I thought someone had fallen into the water at first, but I couldn't swim, so I shouted and there was no one around."

"I just took the long stick next to me and poked it..."

"No one moved. I felt something was wrong, so I called the police."

The process of reporting an alarm is relatively simple.

Chen Jiang has arranged for someone to take notes.

Soon, the body was fished out.

Put it on its back on the ground, and the body will be in front of everyone.

The woman, who appeared to be young, was wearing a blue and white sportswear. Due to being soaked for a long time, her original appearance was no longer visible.

There were obvious injuries on the arms and legs where the body fell.

"Did the forensic doctor inform you?"

"On the way here."

Because the case occurred after get off work, the forensic doctor had to return to the criminal police brigade to get equipment after receiving the notice, so he must have arrived later.

"Chen Jiang, send two groups of people to search upstream and downstream starting from the discovery of the body to see if anything is found."

Lu Chuan probably started a preliminary inspection of the body.

Judging from the degree of soaking of the deceased's skin, the body was probably in the water for between two and three days.

After the skin is soaked in water, it will show different color changes and wrinkle changes within a certain period of time.

Generally speaking, judging the time a corpse has been soaked in water is based on the state of the skin after it absorbs water.

The deceased's skin wound had slight ulceration, which usually only occurs at least 48 hours after death.

And ulceration occurs more slowly in water, so it takes longer.

But it should not exceed three days, which is 72 hours.

After the corpse is soaked in water for more than 72 hours, the skin will change from obviously pale to turquoise.

Now it seems that the deceased's skin is in the process of changing from pale to green, but there are only signs of this, not a complete transition, so Lu Chuan's judgment on the soaking time of the deceased is probably two to three days.

The zipper of the sportswear opened and something strange happened.

The deceased had no underwear inside and had obvious injuries on his body.

Cigarette burns, cuts with sharp objects, and bruises caused by blunt objects.

After different types of blows to the meridians of the human body, the scars appear completely different.

Especially after death, the shape of these scars becomes completely fixed after the blood stops flowing. After further inspection, it was found that the deceased had no underwear on his lower body.

He also had no ID on him.

The cause of death is likely to be suffocation.

There were obvious scars on the deceased's neck.

There is only one shoe left on my foot.

Qin Chuan opened his eyelids and checked the opacity of the lens.

Crystal opacification is an important reference standard for judging the time of death of the deceased.

Generally, crystal opacification occurs 48 hours after death.

Therefore, Lu Chuan could determine whether the deceased died first and then was dumped after a while, or whether the deceased was dumped directly after death.

Opening the corners of his mouth, there was no sediment left inside.

This shows that the deceased should have died when his body was thrown into the Fen River.

Soon, the forensic doctor arrived.

"I probably did a preliminary investigation here. The deceased was a female, aged between 25 and 30 years old."

"He is 1.73 meters tall. The initial cause of death is suffocation, caused by neck restraints such as ropes. The specific situation will depend on the anatomy."

"The time of death is probably between 48 hours and 74 hours."

"There is no history of childbirth, but the lower body is torn and there are precursor stretch marks on the abdomen. Consider terminating the pregnancy. Check the specific situation carefully during the autopsy."

The forensic doctors of the criminal police brigade are ordinary forensic doctors.

Compared to Wang Changjiang, he is quite a bit behind.

However, the basic skills are online. As long as it is not a difficult or complicated disease, it is no problem to make a normal forensic judgment and analysis.

What's more, Lu Chuan has already done so much preliminary work.

His task has been greatly reduced, and he has a ready reference basis.

After the body was carried into the car by several people, the medical examiner had to go back and perform an autopsy.

On the bank of Fen River, Lu Chuan and others continued to be busy.

Generally speaking, bodies found in the river are searched upstream.
The identity of the deceased is currently uncertain in this case, which is the biggest problem.

There is also the place where the body was dumped.

Lu Chuan and others found no heavy objects restraining the body.

"But the flow of Fenhe River is not fast. It shouldn't have taken so long for the body to be discovered."

Chen Jiang felt that the body might have sunk to the bottom of the river first, and then floated up for some reason, such as the heavy objects tied to it falling off.

"It's possible."

As Chen Jiang said, the flow of Fenhe River is not fast and the width is relatively narrow. The body was soaked in the water for a long time and it took three days to be discovered. His analysis is possible.

But there was also some confusion. When Lu Chuan did a preliminary inspection of the body just now, he found no trace of heavy objects being protected on the body.

"We'll be here today. We'll send people over tomorrow morning to patrol upstream along both sides of the bank."

"Let's see if we can find the place where the body was dumped."

……

Early the next morning.

The forensic work is done.

The general situation is similar to the results of Lu Chuan's analysis.

Death from suffocation, no signs of drowning.

The deceased had suffered abuse during his lifetime, and the wounds on his body appeared recently. Judging from the ulceration of the wounds, they should not have been more than three days old.
