deep white secret

Chapter 46
"What about the time? Jamei, do you remember when you saw these packaging bags?"

"After three o'clock, there are more customers today, and the meals will be full soon after they are packed, but I can't remember the exact time."

After Jiamei finished speaking, he lowered his head because of fear.

Xu Jie then asked the others:
"Is there no one earlier than this?"

After receiving a negative reply, Xu Jie tapped on his notebook to determine the time for dumping the body, and got his first clue.

Three days later, after careful and careful work by the forensic team, everyone gathered together for the first meeting to summarize the investigation results of the past few days.

Because of the special case, Officer Han from the forensic team was specially invited to attend.

"Everyone has been waiting for a long time. Let me say a few words first. After five people from our forensic team worked day and night, the body was finally restored to a rough degree today."

"Thank you for your hard work. Only with your hard work can we have a clear direction in the investigation. Forensic Doctor Han, thank you."

Xu Jie was still bathing in the sunshine, with a mellow voice and a sincere attitude.

Han forensic doctor waved his hand:

"You are the ones who have worked hard, and we are not polite. Now let's talk about the case. To tell you the truth, this is the first time I have encountered such a brutal corpse dismemberment case."

The Korean forensic doctor showed everyone the photos of the scene and the photos on the autopsy table.

"The deceased was a male, between 170-175cm tall, highly myopic, and drank a lot of alcohol before his death."

"There were seven packs of red striped woven bags at the scene. The body parts inside were packed into 15 small bags in black plastic bags. The head, thigh bones, ribs, feet, ulna and viscera were packed in separate bags. The rest were minced meat and other scraps. bone."

Everyone looked at the scattered bones in the photo and felt sick to their stomachs. This is a human being, how could it be dismembered to such an extent.

"We spent some time and based on the degree of decomposition of the body parts, the degree of digestion of the stomach contents, and the retention of urine in the bladder, we determined that the time of death was about three days ago."

Forensic doctor Han paused, and the criminal investigation team members present could not help but look approvingly.

Ningxia gave a thumbs up, the forensic team was really strong, and now the time of death has been determined, which is a big step towards solving the case.

Forensic doctor Han gently gestured and continued:

"The body spots of the deceased were dark red. Although the body parts were scattered, we still found the back and waist. The shape of the body spots also confirmed the time of death."

"The head of the deceased was severed from the first cervical intervertebral disc, and the trunk was severed from the joints. The body parts showed signs of being scalded with hot water, which does not rule out boiling."

Everyone took a breath. The murderer's methods were extremely evil. Is this something a human being can do?

"There was no bleeding in the front muscles of the deceased's neck. There was a puncture wound on the chest. There was bleeding at the broken ends of the ribs. There was a puncture hole in the right atrium. The wound surface at the severed part was neat and the wall was smooth. It was consistent with a dagger."

Forensic Doctor Han looked around at the crowd and finally said:

"The poison test results rule out poisoning. The deceased died from chest organ rupture."

"The opinion of our forensic team is that the murder weapon was a dagger, and combined with the large amount of alcohol in the blood, it was likely that the person would lose the ability to resist after being drunk and die from excessive blood loss during the assassination."

After Forensic Doctor Han finished speaking, he switched the big screen to the conclusion page of the forensic autopsy report.

"Captain Xu, that's all. Take a look, are there any other questions?"

"The age of the deceased?"

"Based on the size of the soles of the feet, epiphyses, ossification points, and healing of the cranial sutures, the deceased was between 33 and 37 years old. Team Xu, the range is a bit large this time because the bones have been processed at high temperatures, which affects our later analysis."

"So, in order to cover up the evidence, the murderer deliberately treated the body parts at high temperatures? Is the murderer very experienced?"

The Korean forensic doctor pondered for a moment and agreed with Xu Jie's judgment:
"This possibility cannot be ruled out. The body parts treated with high temperature can stop the bleeding quickly. It is not that scary for the scene. It can be said that at least the murderer is proficient in this aspect."

Seeing that everyone had no more problems, Forensic Doctor Han stood up and said:
"Okay, I'll leave the rest to you. If you have anything, please contact me."

After Officer Han left the conference room, Xu Jie looked around everyone, and then his frown relaxed a little:
"Come on, it's time for us to take action again. Let's talk about the investigation situation in the past two days."

Zhang Lei spoke first:

"I coordinated with the police stations in each district and searched for the recent missing persons in Jinghai City. The forensic report had not yet been released at that time. I will make a detailed comparison later."

Shi Yihang looked at Ning Xia and motioned for her to speak. Ning Xia slowly said:

"Team Xu, Shi Yihang and I investigated the two residential buildings next to the Fuhai Hotel. In addition to the public buildings on the first floor, there are a total of 140 households. We also visited nearby residents. Although we did not find any, once the suspect is identified, we can quickly proceed. Check."

After hearing this, Xu Jie placed the big screen photo on the body dumping site:

"Okay, let's analyze the case now. Ningxia, tell me first. What do you think after the forensic report comes out?"

"Team Xu, when I was in school, I read a lot of case studies on corpse mutilation cases at home and abroad. There are generally two situations for corpse dismemberment. The first is to move the body, and the second is to vent one's anger."

"What's the difference between the two?"

"In terms of details, to express anger, you usually chop with a knife. If there is a premeditated murder and dismemberment of the body, the murderer will be prepared in all aspects, and the wounds on the body will be smooth."

As soon as Ningxia finished speaking, Ma Mingjie immediately praised:

"Ningxia, it's really good, with solid theoretical foundation."

Xu Jie was even happier than Ningxia when he heard this.

"But this is all I know, and it has all been poured out."

After speaking, Ning Xia smiled slightly and sat down slowly, embarrassedly.

Xu Jie pointed the highlighter to the wounded surface of the corpse:
"If you look carefully, the body parts are very smooth, so I suspect the murderer is someone who works in this field."

Shi Yihang immediately asked:
"doctor?"

Xu Jie shook his head lightly:
"Although we have only experienced two corpse dismemberment cases, I later invested a little energy in studying cases in this area. I don't think I am a doctor."

"no?"

Ningxia and Shi Yihang were confused at the same time.

"Captain Xu?"

Xu Jie said slowly:
"Doctors have a habit of operating to avoid major blood vessels and keep the organs intact. But this is not the case. I dare say the murderer dismembered the body very quickly. I think he is a butcher."

"Butcher?"

"Yes, butchers usually avoid difficult-to-cut areas when handling beef and mutton. They just chop with a knife. You see, the spine and ribs of the deceased are all cut from the middle."

"Yes, Captain Xu's analysis makes sense, eh? I discovered another detail. Captain Xu, according to the murderer's method, is quite skilled, and he must have suitable tools to commit the crime."

"Yes, so I say the killer was a butcher, or someone who worked in that field, with experience in various cuts of meat, and with different tools."

Ningxia sees hope:

"Captain Xu, if this is the case, can the chef of Fuhai Hotel be suspected?"

"You see, the body parts were packed into 15 small bags, which shows that the murderer was very calm. Based on the experience of throwing body parts close to each other, I think the murderer is near Fuhai Hotel."

Ningxia has questions in her mind:

What is dead body thrown near?

Just when he was about to ask a question, Xu Jie looked at Ningxia quietly:
"The murderer in the case of corpse dismemberment is bold and careful. The finer the body parts, the harder it is to identify them. The murderer feels that there is no danger, so he will easily dump the body near him. This is the dismemberment of the body."

Xu Jie immediately explained Ning Xia's question, and Ning Xia suddenly realized that Xu Jie had already given the answer to the question she hadn't asked yet.

Is this a tacit understanding?
