Chapter 187 Broken Bones

On the dissection bed, thick liquid kept flowing out.

At first, when it flowed too much, someone took clean water to rinse it, and gradually, everyone pretended not to see it.

The entire dissection room seemed to be submerged in abalone juice. This scene was as rare as cooking four large pots of dried abalone in a Cantonese kitchen.

The pressure cooker began to steam.

Another stainless steel pot was brought over.

Wang Lan said: "This pot will be cooked normally, use this bag..."

The bodies in the four bags were stored for different years.

The oldest one, the flesh inside was almost liquefied, and the closest one seemed to have some muscle tissue hanging on it. However, as the bag was opened, its oxidation degree deepened visibly, and it could be used to extract some DNA.

The body that was just cooked in the pressure cooker was the middle level. Now, Wang Lan chose the oldest one.

Because if it is cooked in an ordinary pot, the process is more complicated. Choosing an old one, it is easier to remove bones.

Two unknown forensic doctors stood up and silently selected some bones and put them into a stainless steel pot.

The Qinghe Bureau bought a local stainless steel pot for steaming buns. If the steamer is placed layer by layer, it is not a problem to steam fifty or sixty buns.

If you put in bones and meat now, it is not a problem to put thirty or forty kilograms.

Some meat that was not completely removed was piled into the stainless steel bucket with bones.

The two forensic doctors deliberately put less, selected the spine and pelvis, and started to add water, and then boiled it on the fire.

The forensic doctors in the room were a little silent.

The main reason was that they were not familiar with each other, and the second was that the smell was too bad.

Especially the cooked bones, which had a little fragrance, a bad smell, or a corpse smell that filled the nasal cavity...

Jiang Yuan guessed that the reason why humans hate this smell so much is probably that the body has solidified the dislike of this kind of smell in the DNA chain - probably, it means "can't eat, run away".

"Have you all eaten?" Niudong Niu, a forensic doctor, felt that he should do his best to be a good host.

"You go ahead, I'll watch you cook." Forensic doctor Wang Lan usually plays an auxiliary role, but this time he also acted as the host.

As he was talking, the water in the stainless steel pot boiled, and forensic doctor Wang Lan turned off the low heat and said, "This pot needs to be cooked on a low heat for three or four hours. You go eat something first and then come over to scrape the tendons."

The principle of boiling human bones until they are boneless is the same as boiling pork bones until they are boneless.

Similarly, when the meat is cooked until the bones are boneless, there will still be some tendons or fascia left on the bones. At this time, further cooking will easily deform the bones, so use a knife to scrape them clean.

Jiang Yuan instinctively didn't want to eat, and said, "I won't go either. It's too troublesome to change clothes."

Several younger forensic doctors decided to stay.

There were not enough shower heads in the bathroom, so even if everyone wanted to go out, it was impossible. With the smell today, if you don't wash it well, you can't go out at all.

Rather than stripping naked to show off your style, it is better to wear clothes to show off your style.

Wang Lan probably has the same idea. She is a female forensic doctor, and she is not affected at ordinary times. It is not convenient to use the bathroom at this time.

"Then let's go eat first and come back to pick you up." Niu Dong called out, and took people including the forensic doctor Lao Ye from Longli County to change clothes first.

Wang Lan said "yes" and didn't say much. She took a soup spoon and turned the bones in the stainless steel pot to prevent them from sticking to the pot and being difficult to handle.

Wang Lan, who never cooks at home, who knows that she is extremely good at boiling boneless meat.

Jiang Yuan took advantage of his free time to open another plastic bag, turned out the meat inside, and roughly spliced ​​it together.

The quality of the plastic bag is very good, and there are stones inside to weigh it down. You can carefully scan the fingerprints and DNA, but Jiang Yuan is not very optimistic.

Jiang Yuan searched for body parts, mainly to see if there are any characteristics on the body parts that can be used to find the source.

The better ones, such as tattoos, may remain even if the body rots. Another example is hair. If it still exists, it at least proves that the body is not bald or bald.

As it turns out, Jiang Yuan was still overthinking.

The four bodies all looked ordinary, at least they had not joined the United States Marine Corps or something.

After Wang Lan stirred the stainless steel pot three times, the bones in the pressure cooker were cooked.

Wang Lan frowned, found a chopstick, and lifted the air valve of the pressure cooker. Then he heard the sound of air release and the rich smell of meat.

Several forensic doctors who stayed in the autopsy room were too lazy to talk.

To be honest, in terms of time, everyone was a little hungry, but at this time, it was really inappropriate to even sip water.

Regardless of whether others thought it was appropriate or not, Jiang Yuan himself felt it was inappropriate.

Fortunately, the abalone sauce was eaten up, otherwise it would have been wasted.

"Open it." Wang Lan waited for the air in the pressure cooker to be released, and then opened the lid.

There was a thick layer of oil floating on the black soup.

Wang Lan sighed and said, "People are a bit too fat now."

"The fat has gone rancid." Another forensic doctor from the Municipal Bureau said, and then looked over and said, "Maybe he was a fat man before he died. This is fatter than my pork elbow."

"The body fat rate of pigs is only 15%, which is not much different from my body fat rate." Wang Lan is very thin. It's just that women are born with a higher body fat rate than men.

Several forensic doctors on the scene couldn't help but look at Wang Lan and nodded.

Wang Lan rolled his eyes, took out a large bottle of alcohol and poured it into the basin.

Rinse the outer layer of the boiled bones with water, and then soak them in alcohol to remove the last lipids.

The bones became white and clean. When the light shone on them, they were slightly yellowish, and the visual impact was very light - after all, the dissection bed next to them was piled with dirty and smelly body parts.

"Let's line up." Wang Lan called Jiang Yuan over to identify the characteristic bones together.

Among the several forensic doctors on the scene, Jiang Yuan was the one she trusted the most.

Although the other young forensic doctors were a few years older than Jiang Yuan, they were still orders of magnitude behind Jiang Yuan in terms of ability.

Wang Lan had carefully read the autopsies Jiang Yuan had done, which was originally one of her jobs. Jiang Yuan was obviously very talented in forensic anthropology.

Among all the work on the scene, identifying bones was the easiest.

Jiang Yuan and Wang Lan cleaned up a dissection bed together, and then arranged the bones one by one on it, with the model of a skeleton lying on it.

Others helped to wash the bones in alcohol, then poured out the water used to boil the body, put in other body parts again, added clean water, and continued to boil.

At the same time, several young forensic doctors were also observing the work of Jiang Yuan and Wang Lan.

Dismemberment cases are still very rare.

For forensic doctors, this is also a rare learning opportunity.

In fact, in normal dismemberment cases, the body parts will not be cut so small.

Most murderers, even those in dismemberment cases, may have killed in passion at first. When deciding to dismember in order to cover up the crime, most of them did not think clearly about what kind of difficult scene they would face.

Human bones are actually very hard and heavy.

Nowadays, there are still women who weigh less than 100 kilograms, and men weigh at least 30 kilograms more. There are also many men who weigh 150 kilograms. In other words, if a male body is to be cut into 5 pieces, each piece must weigh 30 kilograms, and the process of moving it alone is exhausting.

Imagine a butcher cutting pork. The common pigs weighing more than 100 kilograms and 200 kilograms are cut in mid-air. This is because this position is the most labor-saving.

Ordinary people have no experience in cutting bodies, so how can they know the importance of iron hooks and ropes.

In addition, cutting itself is also difficult. The skill difficulty of butchering cattle must be at least LV6.

Those who can't even tell which piece of meat is the tenderloin, and know to cut one knife in the waist and one knife in the neck are considered powerful. If you want to cut the body more carefully, you either need to know what the greater trochanter and the smaller trochanter are, or you have to use powerful cutting equipment, such as a chain saw.

But still, there will be many difficulties and fatigue in cutting.

Therefore, in most temporary dismemberment cases, the bodies are relatively large.

Many of the body parts in this case weigh less than 10 kilograms, which at least shows that the murderer is strong and capable of operating powerful equipment.

Jiang Yuan took a piece of bone, looked at it, and put it on the autopsy table, then took another piece.

Wang Lan also did similar work, but she first searched in the pile of bones, found the bone she wanted, and then took it out and put it on the autopsy table.

The forensic doctors present soon saw the difference.

Wang Lan stopped silently.

Although she was familiar with bones, she could take a piece of bone and put it in a fixed position on the autopsy table without any doubt - she could do it naturally, but the efficiency would be much lower.

The most important thing is that this method cannot allow Wang Lan to form a sufficient understanding of the bones and affect her judgment of the bones.

So, Wang Lan simply stopped and prepared to wait for Jiang Yuan to finish arranging the bones before starting over.

Jiang Yuan quickly laid out the pelvis.

The young forensic doctor next to him saw this and made a judgment, saying:

"It's a woman. She has given birth."

"Around 40 years old."

...

"Height is 170 cm."

Jiang Yuan said this at this time, which was shocking.

Wang Lan couldn't help asking: "How did you judge it?"

The most commonly used method to judge age is the long bones of the limbs, but because the space in the pressure cooker is limited, the long bones have not been cooked yet.

Jiang Yuan said: "I will use the lumbar vertebrae to judge first, and I can verify it later."

"Then write it down first." Wang Lan was half-believing and half-doubting.

Although judging everything with a piece of bone is the goal pursued by forensic anthropology. But the difficulty is also very high. Wang Lan's research in this area is not deep.

Several young forensic doctors next to him suddenly became obedient.

Everyone knows the limits of forensic anthropology, but when can such things as limits be used in work?
