Department of Psychology Forensic

Chapter 34 Yanyan, where have you been?
"What do you think of this scene?"

Cui Jun's face became serious again. As an old forensic doctor, he was more concerned about the case.

"I don't know." Zhou Zheng shook his head and said, "I have to look at the photos of the scene when I go back."

"Do you think other body parts will be found?" Cui Jun said in a deep voice.

"Difficult." Zhou Zheng continued to shake his head.

"I think so too. This case is different from the regular corpse dismemberment and dumping cases. The murderer doesn't seem to care that the identity of the deceased is exposed, and he still uses this very easy way to find out." Cui Jun frowned, He continued: "Often the purpose of dismembering the corpse is to hide the identity of the deceased, and throwing the corpse is to hide the first scene of the crime, but this case gives me a very strange feeling."

"Yeah." Zhou Zheng remained silent, not because he had nothing to say, but because his brain was already working.

There is not much information about the murderer and the deceased from the on-site investigation. For the time being, no fingerprints of the murderer have been found, and there are no witnesses. All the superficial signs on the skin were covered up.

However, the layout of the scene was very strange, and a lot of information was conveyed, but after it was not integrated, there was a cloud of fog in my mind.

Why throw the dead body into the piano room?

Why get a mannequin doll?
Why put corpses' heads on mannequins?

The murderer not only dressed the mannequins, but also put makeup on the face of the deceased, and somehow played "Fur Elise".

Why did the murderer do this?

A lot of question marks popped up in Zhou Zheng's head. After seeing such a scene, his attention was all attracted by this extremely ceremonial arrangement, but now he lacked a time to calm down and think.

"Zhou Zheng, can you drive?" Cui Jun asked.

"I haven't learned yet..." Zhou Zheng replied.

"Let's learn as soon as possible." Cui Jun didn't say anything, took out the car key to unlock it, and then walked towards the driver.

"Well, I will take time to study at night." Zhou Zheng nodded quickly. At this time, he has realized the importance of driving, because their forensic work is not to stay in the office, and they may appear on the scene at any time .

While speaking, Zhou Zheng got into the co-driver, started the car, left the campus of Jianghai Normal University, and sped towards the direction of the Municipal Bureau.

……

Jianghai City Bureau Forensic Medicine Center.

Both Cui Jun and Zhou Zheng put on a complete set of disposable dissection suits, stood in the dissection room, and looked at the special "corpse" placed on the corpse bed.

"Zhou Zheng, bring the camera stand. I can't do the head dissection by myself. I need your help. Then put the camera on the stand." Cui Jun said.

"Okay." Zhou Zheng looked towards the corner of the dissection room, where the camera rack had been placed all the time, and then he put the camera on the rack and put it away.

Seeing that everything was ready, Cui Jun slowly opened the body bag, took out the head inside, and placed it on the dissecting table of the corpse bed.

The bright light of the shadowless lamp in the dissection room hit the solitary head, making the already pale face even paler, revealing a creepy feeling.

Cui Jun stood on the right side of the autopsy table on the corpse bed, looked at the head carefully, and said, "Zhou Zheng, hold the temporal bones on both sides with both hands, and I will remove her make-up first."

"Master, do you still understand this?" Zhou Zheng asked in surprise. He didn't know how to remove makeup, but only knew that there are steps to remove makeup after makeup.

"This is a necessary skill. I will teach you now. When you encounter a female corpse in the future, you must remember to remove your makeup first, so that you can see some of the covered corpse." Cui Jun said seriously.

"Okay." Zhou Zheng nodded.

"However, before removing the makeup, we must first extract the cosmetics, test the chemical components, and confirm the brand and source, which may provide clues for the detection of the case." Cui Jun picked up the cotton swab and extracted the foundation and the face of the head and face respectively. Face painted with lipstick.

Immediately afterwards, Cui Jun picked up a makeup remover cotton dipped in makeup remover water and applied it on the face of the deceased, and then gently wiped it with his fingers in circular motions.

Zhou Zheng stared at it carefully, learning this step silently. It didn't seem to be such a complicated operation, just cleaning it.

After all, it is a corpse makeup remover, not a real person, as long as the makeup is removed cleanly, there is no need to worry about the follow-up skin care.

Soon, Kabeen's appearance appeared on the face after removing makeup.

"It's fine if you do it like this. Be careful not to have cosmetic residues that affect your judgment, and don't damage the skin on your face." Cui Jun explained.

"Understood." Zhou was studying silently in his heart. In the past two days, he realized more and more that what he learns in school is theoretical knowledge, while in formal work he needs to accumulate experience.

"Female head, hair length about 45 cm, no obvious open injury on the face, no damage to the mucous membrane of the mouth and nose, no foreign objects found in the mouth, nose and external auditory canal." Cui Jun took the head and examined it carefully: "The eyeballs are completely covered. The glue is set, and valuable information cannot be found."

While speaking, Cui Jun took out tweezers and scraped towards the eyeball of the deceased, gently scraped off a small piece of jelly-like substance, and put it in the evidence bag.

"The glue in the eyes of the deceased was sent to the laboratory for testing to see if the ingredients can be analyzed and the source determined."

Cui Jun put the physical evidence bag aside and continued to check the face of the deceased.

"The lips are cyanotic, and there are signs of suffocation, but not very obvious."

Then he picked up the scalpel and scraped towards the neck of the deceased, removing the plaster stuck on it bit by bit.

"The skin on the neck of the deceased was yellowish-white, the fracture was relatively neat and not curled, and there was no life response. The neck of the deceased was cut off after death."

Cui Jun turned his head and looked down, his brows frowned even tighter.

"The deceased's hyoid bone, thyroid cartilage and surrounding tissues were removed. Judging from the incision, the severed head was near the fifth to sixth cervical vertebrae, but this part of the cervical vertebrae was removed."

After Cui Jun finished speaking, he put the head down. He exhausted his knowledge of forensic medicine and his own experience, but it was still very difficult to find some clues on such a specially processed head. .

"Zhou Zheng, hold the front of your head."

Cui Jun turned the head around, put it back, and took a scalpel to shave along the root of the hair.

Cui Jun's knife skills are quite exquisite, and he shaves off the hair easily and quickly without hurting the scalp.

As the long hair of the head fell on the corpse bed, the slightly blue skin of the deceased was exposed in the eyes of the two.

"There is no obvious damage to the head and back of the neck, and there are no obvious corpse spots on the head, which means..." Cui Jun looked up at Zhou Zheng, and said in a deep voice: "The deceased was decapitated in a very short time after death. .”

Cui Jun picked up his head again, observed it carefully, and sighed helplessly after confirming that there was nothing missing.

"There is too little information left for us. Even if the colored contact lenses are not stuck, there is no way to make a judgment. The blood in the brain has flowed out with the severed head."

Even through the mask, Cui Jun's face can be seen to be ugly. Since he was engaged in forensic work, he has encountered all kinds of complicated corpses.

There are melted corpses in the form of corpse wax, highly corrupt corpses of giants, moldy corpses soaked in the river embankment, ossified corpses in the wilderness, etc...

Those corpses constantly challenged the limit of human beings' tolerance and provided great sensory stimulation, but there are traces to follow.

But now he only has one head in his hand, and it was still damaged in such a state that it was extremely difficult to even examine it.

From the outside, it still retains the appearance of the woman when she was alive, but the inside of the skull is filled with plaster. Even if the information that may be useful is found from the performance, it is difficult to determine whether it is actually an interference item.

"Zhou Zheng, hold this head for me, I'm going to do a craniotomy."

Cui Jun walked towards the tool table next to the dissecting room, where the craniotomy saw for craniotomy was placed.

The routine forensic dissection of the corpse includes opening three cavities, that is, dissecting the chest cavity, abdominal cavity and cranial cavity.

However, in some autopsy laboratories where the cause of death is particularly obvious, joint opening of the chest and abdomen is often enough.

When the cause of death needs to be further confirmed, the craniotomy will be performed, not only because the craniotomy is relatively troublesome, but also because the forensic doctors try not to cause additional unnecessary damage to the corpse.

Zhou Zheng supported the head with both hands with a solemn face, and fixed it firmly. This was the first time he had a craniotomy in a real dissection, and he was inevitably nervous.

"Zhou Zheng, you have to hold it. This kind of decapitation is more troublesome." Cui Jun picked up the craniotomy saw and walked over directly to the side of the corpse bed.

"Well, I understand." Zhou Zheng nodded. He understands the truth. If the head is connected to the torso, then the body will be fixed during the craniotomy, which is relatively easy, but this kind of head that is separated from the torso is like a ball. Similarly, it will turn around after being compressed by the craniotomy saw.

"Be sure to fix it, and shout out when it doesn't work, and don't let the craniotomy saw touch your hand, as long as it touches it, it will disappear." Cui Jun urged.

"Understood!" Zhou Zheng's hand holding the head was even stronger.

At this moment, Cui Jun turned on the craniotomy saw, and the roaring sound resounded through the dissection room, which was even more ear-piercing in the originally quiet environment.

After a few minutes.

The dead man's head was opened.

The scene inside came into the sight of Cui Jun and Zhou Zheng.

This skull is like an open ball, about one-third of which is filled with plaster, and the upper part is the preserved brain tissue. After Cui Jun lifted the dura mater at the base of the skull, the temporal bone of the skull exposed.

"The brain tissue of the deceased was congested, the petrous part of the temporal bone was black and blue, and the signs of suffocation were obvious. It is basically certain that the cause of death was mechanical asphyxia."

While Cui Jun was speaking, he checked the head again, and after confirming that he couldn't find any other useful information, he asked Zhou Zheng to take a few more photos and record the phenomenon of the head with a high-precision camera as much as possible.

After that, Cui Jun extracted a part of the brain tissue of the deceased, put it into a bottle, and prepared to send it to the laboratory for DNA testing in order to confirm the source of the corpse.

"Zhou Zheng, do you have anything to add?" Cui Jun asked.

"No more." Zhou Zheng shook his head, he had seen the whole process of Cui Jun's autopsy, it was very detailed, there was nothing missing at all.

When Cui Jun and Zhou Zheng walked out of the dissection room, more than two hours had passed, and their clothes were soaked in sweat. The autopsy of a head was more energy-intensive than that of a whole corpse.

"It's almost time. Let's pack up and go to eat, and then sort out the forensic report and send it to the criminal police team." Cui Jun re-fastened the dura mater on the head, then sewed up the scalp, and put it back into the body bag.

"Master, you go and eat. I'll just make some noodles. I want to sort it out quickly." Zhou Zheng said seriously. His idea is very simple. The sooner he sorts out the report, the earlier he can look at the report and think about it. When his assistant was working, he couldn't think patiently.

"The bubble face is not in good health. We forensic doctors must cherish our bodies and speak for the dead on the basis of ensuring their health. How about this? I'll go downstairs and pack a dumpling for you. What kind of stuffing do you like?" Cui Jun said in an unquestionable tone.

"Su Sanxian." Zhou Zheng was not polite.

"Chives?" Cui Jun's eyelids twitched, and he said, "You have to go to the criminal police team in a while!"

"They can't smell cigarettes." Zhou Zheng waved his hand.

"Okay." Cui Jun thought for a while and thought it made sense, so he didn't say anything else. After the autopsy work just now, he was really tired. Besides the time to eat at noon, he also wanted to take a walk to get some fresh air. He hadn't seen it for a long time It's such a perverted case.

After Cui Jun left, Zhou Zheng quickly returned to his work station, imported the content of the camera into the case information of the internal system, recorded while playing back Cui Jun’s words during the autopsy, and at the same time selected photos that matched the text, quickly and seriously summed up the forensic report.

Gradually, Zhou Zheng immersed himself in it and fell into the state of thinking. As the photos of the scene continued to flash before his eyes, the speed of his thinking became faster and faster.

When Cui Jun came back with the dumplings, Zhou Zheng had already finished the forensic report.

After Zhou Zheng quickly ate all the dumplings, he picked up the printed forensic report and hurried towards the criminal police team.

"This kid..."

Cui Jun looked at the back of Zhou Zheng leaving, with a gratified smile on his face, he faintly saw the shadow of his youth in Zhou Zheng's body.

After Zhou Zheng's figure disappeared, the smile on his face also disappeared. He took out his mobile phone, clicked on the address book, and clicked directly on the nearest contact.

"The number you dialed is temporarily unavailable, please try again later..."

Cui Jun sighed, put the phone on the table helplessly, raised his head and looked out the window along the glass, with a hint of worry in his eyes.

"Am I thinking too much?"

"When I heard that there was a murder case, I was scared to death!"

"Fortunately, this head is not yours!"

"But……"

"Yanyan, where have you been?"

Cui Jun said to himself that since he examined Li He's body the day before, he has been unable to contact Li Yanyan.
