Chapter 514: The Scene of the Corpse (Two in One, Please Vote!)

The Fifth Detective Team is one of the three teams established just a month ago by the Liancheng Detective Team.

In the past two years, Liancheng's population has continued to increase, and the city's area has gradually expanded. The original four detective teams can no longer meet the needs of urban development.

According to the conditions in the city for grassroots detective teams, three detective teams were successively established in the new urban areas surrounding the Liancheng Detective Team.

Team Five is one of them.

After hearing Wang Jun's report, the meeting will definitely not go on.

"In this case, the meeting will be suspended and Team Chen will come to my office."

This is the detective team. With a case, all other work has to give way.

Zhang Yunhu's office.

"What's the specific situation?"

Wang Jun's face was deep and he began to report: "I just received the news."

"Just fifteen minutes ago, the fifth team received an alarm call and a sunken body was found in a pond in Hongfu Village, Dongwan Township."

"The blue captain of the fifth team has already gone to the scene. She called me on the way there, so I reported it quickly."

The case had just occurred, and Wang Jun obviously had no more information.

"Captain Zhang, I'd better go over there."

In a case where human life is at stake, Chen Yan cannot just point at the people below. As the deputy captain in charge of detectives, he naturally has to rush to the scene.

Zhang Yunhu nodded, and when Chen Yan left, he was relieved: "Captain Chen, it's all thanks to you."

Zhang Yunhu's words are true. With Chen Yan's presence, Zhang Yunhu will indeed feel much more relaxed.

Although the other tasks of the detective team are more complex, they all have their own responsibilities, and a complete operating system has been in place for a long time.

With these tasks, even if the captain is away for a month, there will be no trouble.

But solving a case is different. There is no time delay, and not everyone can solve the case.

According to the Liao Provincial Detective Brigade's rules for investigating serious cases, unless there are special circumstances, all homicide cases must be handed over to the serious crime team.

Chen Yan himself is the leader of the serious crime team, so Liancheng Detective Team can be said to have benefited from it.

Without any nonsense, Chen Yan left Zhang Yunhu's office and went straight to the scene.

Dongwan Township is close to the sea, and residents here have made a living by fishing for generations.

However, fishery development has lagged behind in recent years.

In the past, when the mariculture industry was not large-scale, all seafood products came from personal fishing.

However, with overfishing, there were fewer and fewer fish near the coast, and then deep-sea fishing technology was slowly developed.

Offshore fishing has also slowly developed into offshore farming.

However, both offshore fishing and offshore aquaculture require huge financial support, and naturally there are fewer and fewer fishermen in Dongwan Township.

On the other hand, due to the rich tourism resources in Dongwan Township in recent years, many fishermen have switched to B&Bs or catering businesses.

Forty minutes later, Chen Yan arrived at the scene. Wang Jun had already contacted the captain of the fifth team on the way.

"Captain Blue, what's the specific situation?"

Lan Lingshuang, captain of the fifth detective team, is also a legend.

Lan Lingshuang is not old, but has a simple background and strong abilities.

Five years ago, after Lan Lingshuang transferred from the special forces, she joined the Liancheng Detective Team.

As a result, he voluntarily applied for transfer to the front line within a few days.

When this Lan Lingshuang served in the special forces, she had received awards and was awarded third-class personal merit and second-class personal merit.

To achieve meritorious service in the special forces is really at the cost of one's life.

So after Lan Lingshuang retired and changed jobs, she was assigned to work in an agency.

Unexpectedly, this man didn't want to live a comfortable life at all. After working for only a few days, he took the initiative to report and apply to be an ordinary detective on the front line.

It caused quite a stir at the time.

However, this Lan Lingshuang does have two brushes.

When she was in the special forces, her rank was relatively high, and after she was transferred to other fields, she was equivalent to a first-level detective director.

With this police rank, the lowest level at the lowest level is deputy captain.

As a result, they didn’t want it, so they wanted to start as an ordinary detective.

Needless to say, in the past five years, we have really made a lot of achievements.

Before the establishment of the fifth team, Lan Lingshuang worked in the fourth team.

This time he was transferred to the fifth team to serve as captain, which is also a rare promotion of young cadres.

Looking at Lan Lingshuang, who was the same height as himself, Chen Yan honestly didn't know what to say.

Because this...

This guy's appearance really doesn't match the name.

How to describe it, four words, five big and three thick.

"Hello, Captain Chen!"

Lan Lingshuang didn't know what Chen Yan was thinking. She had heard Chen Yan's name since last year.

But there has never been an opportunity for in-depth contact.

Although the fourth team had an intersection with Chen Yan last year, Lan Lingshuang happened to go to study during that time and did not catch up with Chen Yan who was working on the case in the fourth team.

When a case occurred in the fourth team a few days ago, she was transferred again and became the captain of the newly established fifth team.

However, this does not affect Chen Yan's idol status in Lan Lingshuang's heart.

Lan Lingshuang, who has become the captain of the grassroots detective squad, has her biggest dream is to join the serious crime team led by Chen Yan.

This time is an opportunity for performance, and Lan Lingshuang must seize it.

After saluting, Lan Lingshuang began to report the situation: "At 8:55 this morning, the fifth team received an alarm call."

"A sunken corpse was found in a pond in Hongfu Village."

"The preliminary on-site investigation has just been completed and it can be determined that it was a homicide."

"Let's go to the scene and take a look."

"yes!"

Three minutes later, Chen Yan saw the sunken corpse fished out of the pond by the pond.

Three on-site investigators were examining the body.

Lan Lingshuang continued to report: "The male corpse, judging from the swelling of the corpse, the soaking time did not exceed three days."

"The carotid artery of the corpse was scratched with a sharp instrument. It is initially determined that the cause of death was excessive blood loss."

"The identity of the deceased is still uncertain and is currently being verified."

Chen Yan squatted next to the body and observed carefully: "Did you find anything like an ID card, mobile phone, or wallet?"

Lan Lingshuang shook her head: "There is nothing on the deceased, but it cannot be ruled out that it was left in the pond."

"Are there any other unusual findings?"

"Yes," Lan Lingshuang squatted beside Chen Yan, like a hill: "The clothes the deceased was wearing were the new T-shirts just released by the Luxury Brand this year."

"The pants are also new clothes from the same brand, and the shoes are limited edition coconuts. This outfit costs almost 100,000 yuan."

"So, it can be judged that the deceased was worth a lot, either rich or noble."

"And here," Lan Lingshuang raised the deceased's left hand with gloves: "The deceased's left hand has traces of wearing a watch and a ring for a long time."

"But we didn't find any of that when we got to the scene."

Chen Yan looked carefully at the wrist and fingers of the deceased.

There are obvious wristband indentations, but the watch and ring are now gone.

"Do you think it's murder for money?"

"There is a possibility of this, but it cannot be ruled out that the murderer is setting up suspicion."

"Um."

Chen Yan nodded. No wonder Lan Lingshuang could become the captain of the detective team at less than thirty years old, and was the only female detective team leader in the Liancheng Detective Team.

These few words at least show that Lan Lingshuang's thoughts are more delicate and not arbitrary.

However, there were some details that Lan Lingshuang did not notice.

There was a faint smell of perfume on the deceased.

Although it had been soaked in water for two or three days, there was still a very light fragrance that could be captured by Chen Yan's olfactory gene lock.

But this smell statement is temporarily unable to tell what kind of perfume it is.

In addition, there was something wrong with the wound on the deceased's neck.

The wound on the deceased's neck was turned outwards, and the edges of the incision were neat. It was certain that it had been cut with some kind of sharp weapon.

And it was an injury during life.

On this point, Lan Lingshuang's judgment was correct.

Moreover, judging from the color of the surface of the deceased's body, the cause of death should be a rupture of a major artery in the neck and excessive bleeding.

Bodies soaked in water have obvious soaking characteristics.

Based on the degree of edema, decomposition, color, rigor mortis, etc. of the corpse, the time the corpse has been soaked in water can be comprehensively judged.

Regardless of the cause of death, the surface of a corpse that has been soaked in water for a long time will appear swollen and pale.

However, even if the soaking time is the same, the color of the soaked corpses of the deceased with different causes of death will be slightly different.

Judging from Chen Yan's experience, the color of this male corpse was even paler.

After pressing the surface of the corpse with fingers, there was no change.

This shows that the deceased must have been bleeding heavily before his death.

Corpses are not the same as living people.

After a living person presses a certain part of the body with his fingers, white patches will appear on the pressed area.

This is because the blood of living people is flowing. After local compression, the blood in the pressed area flows to other places, so white patches will appear.

But the corpse is different.

The blood of the corpse has no fluidity. When pressed locally with fingers, the blood cannot flow and a darker mark will be formed.

Unless the deceased had lost too much blood and the blood on the body surface could not condense, the situation just after Chen Yan was pressed would have occurred.

Therefore, the cause of death due to excessive bleeding is probably not problematic.

But the problem is that the shape of the deceased's wound was a straight knife with a bend in the middle.

Generally speaking, whether it is a professional killer or an ordinary person who cuts the carotid artery, it will most likely be solved with one knife.

Even if it wasn't solved with one knife, there wouldn't be a curved stab wound like the deceased.

Judging from the stab wounds on the deceased, it seemed that the murderer deliberately changed the direction of the knife when he struck.

When cutting open the carotid artery, it turned a corner, causing the stab wound on the deceased's neck to be continuous but not straight.

Chen Yan observed carefully and discovered an interesting situation.

According to the analysis of the stab wound marks on the deceased's neck, the location of the stab wound was on the inside of the mandible.

This is relatively easy. Because the force and speed are different between the lowering position of the knife and the different position of the knife, the wounds left are slightly different.

Generally speaking, the point where the knife is inserted is that the tip of the knife penetrates the skin first, which will cause a small tear in the upper part of the knife wound.

The position where the knife is drawn is that the blade cuts out first, so the wound will be smoother.

In other words, the wound will open wider where the knife enters, and the wound will open smaller where the knife comes out.

Of course, this difference is not very big, and only a very experienced on-site surveyor can confirm it.

Chen Yan is proficient in autopsy, so identifying this is naturally a piece of cake.

The place where the knife was cut on the neck of the deceased's body was on the edge of the collarbone, which is interesting.

Assuming that the deceased was unable to move when he was killed, there are only three possibilities for the location of the murderer and the deceased.

The first murderer was facing the deceased, the second murderer was behind the deceased, and the third murderer was on the side of the deceased.

But no matter what position the murderer and the deceased were in at the time, such a wound should not have been formed when the murderer cut the carotid artery of the deceased with a knife.

Because the wound was inserted under the left jawbone, if the opponent wanted to insert the knife at this angle, he would need to damage the jawbone first.

Or the deceased raised his head high and his neck, so that the knife could be cut from this position without damaging the skin of the jaw bone.

And if the deceased had not lost mobility before being killed, in Chen Yan's opinion, this position of the knife was basically impossible.

Coupled with the situation of the knife wound and the bend, Chen Yan was basically certain that the deceased person should have lost mobility, and then the murderer deliberately fixed the deceased's neck.

The knife was inserted under the left jawbone, and the blade turned around halfway, and then cut out from the collarbone.

Chen Yan pinched the wound and temporarily healed it together with his hands, and discovered something more interesting.

Just where the blade turns, the skin has a slight discoloration.

Compared with other places, there are more obvious color differences here.

"What's this?"

Lan Lingshuang on the side looked at the dark marks after the wounds were put together, and asked doubtfully.

"this?"

"Strawberries planted by others."

"strawberry?"

Lan Lingshuang was confused, what strawberry?

Chen An did not explain in detail, but judging from the shape of the wound, the murderer specifically turned the blade during the process of cutting the carotid artery of the deceased, probably with the purpose of cutting off the strawberry.

In this case, the possibility of love killing is very high.

Two hours later, the on-site investigation was basically completed.

First, although the identity of the deceased has not yet been determined, judging from the clothes of the deceased, the economic conditions of the deceased should have been relatively good during his lifetime.

Considering that the deceased was in his twenties, it is more likely that the deceased was a rich second generation.

Second, there were traces of a watch and a ring on the left wrist of the deceased, but these items were not found at the scene.

Unlike carrying ID cards or mobile phones, watches and rings are generally not lost at the bottom of the pond.

Because the body of the deceased would become swollen after being immersed in water for a long time, the ring and watch could only be tightened tighter and tighter, and they would not fall off unless artificially.

As for whether the reporter took these things, it can basically be ruled out.

The marks on the left wrist and ring finger of the deceased's left hand were relatively shallow, and the things should have been removed before the body was thrown away.

Otherwise, after being soaked in pool water, the marks of strangulation will be very obvious.

Lan Lingshuang and others will find out immediately.

Third, the deceased had a very light smell of perfume.

Perfume is volatile, and a good perfume does not have a single smell.

The front, middle and back fragrances will all have different changes.

And the better the perfume, the longer it lasts.

According to the results of the current corpse investigation, the time of death of the deceased was three days ago, and the body was thrown into the pond within a short period of time.

Being able to stay in the water for three days, there is still a lingering fragrance. Although the fragrance is very light, it is enough to show that the perfume the deceased was exposed to during his lifetime was definitely the best.

Although Chen Yan couldn't tell which perfume it was, he couldn't compare it to those international brands.

Later, I will find those perfumes and smell the characteristics of the fragrance, and I should be able to distinguish them.

Fourth, there was the stab wound on the neck. During the process of cutting the artery, the murderer deliberately changed the direction of the blade in order to cut off the strawberry.

It can be judged from this that the deceased should have had intimate behavior not long ago before his death.

The possibility of love killing is relatively high.

Fifth, Chen Yan also found some very light indentations on the deceased's ankles and wrists, showing filamentous traces. Due to the soaking in the pond, it was difficult to identify, but it was still possible to determine that the deceased's limbs had been Been restrained.

And the restraint tool should be something like cotton gauze or stockings.

Of course, this is only information from the on-site investigation. The final situation will require an autopsy on the body.

However, in the process, the identity of the deceased was determined.

Because the deceased had not been immersed in the water for long, his appearance could still be distinguished. After identification by villagers in nearby Hongfu Village, it was basically confirmed that the deceased was Wang Junjie, the son of the village chief of Hongfu Village.
