21. Roadside dead body

The crime scene was a urban-rural fringe area on the edge of the jurisdiction. The local police station received a report from villagers and rushed to the scene to make a preliminary judgment that it was to kill people and throw away the body.

Due to the human and technical restrictions of the police station, they immediately reported to the municipal bureau.

Such a vicious case suddenly occurred in the peaceful social environment. The leaders of the municipal bureau attached great importance to it and immediately decided to send special project personnel to lead the team leader Lei Kang to the scene of the incident. The case must be solved as soon as possible.

After confirming that the personnel were all here, he brought two forensic doctors, Xue Qingxia and Yu Yu. The group hurried into the car and rushed to the scene with their equipment.

The incident happened next to a provincial highway, surrounded by large areas of farmland and only one village next to it.

I heard that people died, and there were a large number of people watching the road. It can be seen that they were very enthusiastic, which was obviously another good opportunity to watch the fun.

When everyone arrived, colleagues from the police station were evacuating the crowd.

After pushing the crowd away and entering the scene, you can still hear the whispers of the outsiders.

"Have you heard from Aunt Jiang? Oh, that person died so miserable. He said that he was tied up with his hands and dragged them behind the car, dragging them to death on the road!"

"It sounds so painful! I'm scared and sweaty in my palms!"

Everyone got masks and shoe covers. Director Peng from the police station saw that someone came from the bureau and hurried over: "Battle of Lei, you are here fast enough!"

"Human life is at stake."

Lei Kang glanced around him, and said directly: "How is the scene?"

Director Peng shook his head and said, "When we arrived, we were surrounded by people. Except for the corpse, no one moved, the surrounding traces can be basically judged that they were all trampled."

The muscles on Lei Kang's cheeks hopped down and he said calmly, "Have you asked the person who reported the case?"

Director Peng said: "I have asked, and the reporter named Jiang Guiying, who is a villager from Jiang Village next to me. He got up early in the morning and went down to the ground to pick corn. Before dawn, he saw a pile of clothes from the grass on the side of the road. When he walked over, he found that it was a corpse."

"Have the identity of the deceased been confirmed?" Lei Kang said.

Director Peng said: "It's not too late."

"OK."

Lei Kang frowned and ordered, "Let's see the dead first."

Xiao Ran followed into the cordon and saw the corpse in the grass beside the road.

The deceased was wearing a blue-black jacket on the upper body and blue-black pants on the lower body. The clothes were seriously damaged. A lot of blood and soil could be seen on it, and the top also had a small amount of visible oil.

Xue Qingxia and Yu Yu were already squatting down by the road with gloves and began to do preliminary examination of the corpse surface: "The deceased had an open skull fracture, about two-thirds of the entire head was missing, and only a small amount of brain tissue was residual, and the base of the skull can be directly seen. The right shoulder, right hip joint, and right lower limbs were severely worn. The right hip bone tissue was worn about one-half, the right abdominal cavity was largely missing, the abdominal cavity was exposed, and the right calcane bone was worn about half."

It is not so much a corpse, but a broken corpse, with only the back of the head and the flesh on the chest almost been worn out.

If the deceased is really like this and doesn’t drag it to death, how painful it will be!

However, forensic Xue obviously does not have any association with these. In the eyes of the forensic, the corpse is no different from the little rabbit and the little frog used to practice in the anatomy room.

Xue Qingxia took the magnifying glass from Yu Yu's hand and carefully observed the worn hip bones, calcane bones and skull sections of the deceased, without any emotion: "According to the bone tissue, the age of the deceased should be between 60 and 70 years old. The damage to the corpse is basically on the same plain, which seriously coincides with the road surface, and the friction direction is consistent with the direction of the ground force. The friction surface is scratched in strips, indicating that the friction between the deceased and the ground is almost unchanged."

"In other words, the deceased was indeed dragged to death on the ground?"

The reporter, Aunt Jiang, might have been possessed by Sherlock Holmes, so she actually told her to tell her.

The captain of the first team, Shao Yong, said astonished: "Who is so vicious and has taken such a heavy blow to an elderly person!"

Xue Qingxia shook her head: "It's just a preliminary judgment. The specific cause of death will be subject to an accurate conclusion after further anatomical examination."

Lei Kang asked: "Can the time of death be determined?"

"The deceased's head is seriously missing and the cornea cannot be viewed, but the muscles no longer contract, and the corpse spots merge into a large area and began to develop rapidly. It is preliminary judgment that the death time should be around 12 hours, that is, around 7 to 8 o'clock last night." Xue Qingxia said.

"Cai Wang, contact the traffic police team immediately and ask them to check the suspicious vehicles or individuals passing through this road between 7 and 8 o'clock last night."

Lei Kang said calmly: "Everyone deal with the scene as soon as possible and do not cause traffic jams. In addition, Shao Yong, you take Qin Zihe, Song Zhiyi and the comrades from the police station to visit the surrounding area to see if there are any missing people. Now first, you must find the source of the corpse, understand the interpersonal relationships of the deceased during his lifetime, and judge the cause of the deceased's death."

"clear."

With the order, everyone became busy, and Xiao Ran and Zhang Lei were inspecting the area they were responsible for.

The scene at this time was quite difficult for the technicians. They searched the ground with their cameras, not to mention traces, it would be great to find a piece of open space without footprints.

Of course, except for the cigarette butt that can weigh a few kilograms after being tidied up on the ground.

Zhang Lei passed through the area he had given him with a desperate look on his face, and said with a look of his face: "There is not a single hair."

"It's normal, this is not the first scene." Xiao Ran said.

"Of course, there is a little blood under the body. Such a serious injury must have caused a lot of bleeding. Where did his blood go? And there is two-thirds of the skull fracture missing. Where did the skull and brain tissue go?"

Zhang Lei nodded and said, "Didn't Brigade Lei and Director Peng go to the police station to mobilize the surrounding people to find the first scene? There should be news... Oh, do you judge how this person died? Is it really dragged over from behind the car like the aunt said?"

"It's hard to say whether it was to be towed by the car, but the hands and feet must not be tied up." Xiao Ran said.

Zhang Lei asked curiously: "How did you know?"

"You didn't look at the corpse. If you tie it up and drag it, wrist, neck, and ankle, there must be one of the three parts that will leave obvious grooves."

Xiao Ran touched the tip of his nose and said, "The power of dragging the human body on the ground is very great. Such power will cause very obvious subcutaneous bleeding even if there is a pad... And the deceased's title also shows that the upper limbs are not bound. If the lower limbs are bound, the deceased's ankles must be off the ground, but his calcaneal bones are also worn out."

"That is to say, the deceased was not pulled here by ropes or something."

Zhang Lei was a little confused, "Then how did he get through it all the way?"
