Chapter 248 How to Dispose of a Corpse

"This picture was taken at the scene. If I hadn't known that the head was inside, it would have looked a bit like a pregnant woman." Tang Hua continued to look through the pictures at the scene, "So was the deceased pregnant at the time?"

"You can't tell," Forensic Doctor Lin took the photo and looked at it carefully. "All the internal organs of the corpse were hollowed out, including the uterus and ovaries. If there are changes in the pubic bone during the second and third trimester of pregnancy, there is nothing you can do about it in the first trimester."

Cen Lian was somewhat concerned about whether the deceased was pregnant.

"Didn't the previous task force investigate in this direction?" He didn't remember all the information, so he asked Wu Qiushan.

"It has been investigated," Wu Qiushan said with certainty. "When the case was discovered, the task force tried to access records in this area, but the number of pregnant women in hospitals across the city was too large, and all those who had filed and registered cards were screened. Once again there was no result.”

It seemed that the two previous task forces had almost blocked their way.

"Pregnant women who have not been registered are the most difficult to check, especially those who have no subsequent medical records. They may even go to a black clinic to have an abortion." Lin Forensic Doctor has many classmates who are still in the medical industry and know this very well. "But this photo does feel like it's an imitation of a pregnant woman, and it's a malicious imitation."

After all, the towering belly of this corpse really resembles the belly of a pregnant woman.

"Assuming that this is really a pregnant woman in the early stages of pregnancy, and there is no registration card, it seems that she has not been able to have an abortion. If we go to investigate now, we should be able to screen out a list," Yuan Chenxi analyzed rationally, "The time of death of the deceased is based on the current The autopsy report of the medical examiner shows that it was about two to three months ago, so it shouldn’t have been long before she was found to be pregnant.”

"Retrieve the medical records of all obstetrics and gynecology departments in similar months, find out all the patients who have been diagnosed with pregnancy, exclude those who have already been filed based on subsequent file creation, and then exclude those who have given birth based on their household registration information," Qu Quhan said Counting the process on his fingers, "The final list will be confirmed one by one to see if they are missing."

She looked at Yuan Chenxi with a pale face, "If we check like this, I won't have to take a vacation next month."

Although Cen Lian did not deny the idea directly, he did feel that the workload was very heavy.

"Although it requires a lot of people, if we can't confirm the identity of the deceased through other methods, we must try this method." After a rational analysis, Cen Lian felt that this case did not leave many paths for them.

The previous two task forces were not vegetarians. The criminal police officers who could take over such complex cases in the city bureau were unlikely to be good at it. They tried all the easy directions, which could be regarded as helping Cen Lian and the others to make trial and error.

"I'm going to check the data from the hospital first," Yuan Chenxi said in preparation. "If it really comes to the point where extensive visits and investigations are needed, we have to be prepared."

Qu Han resignedly went with her.

Cen Lian looked at Wu Qiushan, "Let's contact the game officials to see if they can cooperate with us in trying to find someone."

All the investigations they are currently conducting are hypothetical. Even though they have listed one, two or three paths, they are actually still in the preliminary preparation stage.

Forensic doctor Lin conducted another autopsy and determined that nothing was missing.

"This case is indeed difficult to handle," she took off her gloves and threw them into the trash can. "Now it's up to them to see if they can make some new discoveries by going to the reservoir."

…

Wang Yuanteng and Qi Yan did not return to the office until after three o'clock in the afternoon. Their expressions were as usual. On the contrary, Yu Ye and You Jiaming, who had followed them together, were wilting in their seats like eggplants beaten by frost.

"Is this a shock?" Tang Hua came over happily.

"It's a bit," Yu Ye grinned bitterly, "This case is too difficult, how can I not have any clues."

Although they had done enough psychological preparation before departure, Yu Ye and You Jiaming still felt a strong gap when they actually came into contact with this case.

There is a feeling that the case they solved yesterday was in kindergarten and they were studying 1+1, and now they are skipping a grade to study calculus.

"It's normal. If it were so easy to get a clue, this case would have been solved long ago and would not be in our hands." At this time, Cen Lian had the consciousness of being a captain and said calmly, "You can also think about it. There is no missing direction to solve the case, and what this kind of complex case needs most is collective effort.”

Yu Ye and You Jiaming once again studied the case file with confidence.

"You finally look like a leader now," Wang Yuanteng was sweating profusely and sitting near the air conditioner to cool himself down. "We have gained something from going out this time. Let Lao Qi tell you the details."

Qi Yan has been staring at the chat interface on his mobile phone since he returned to the office, with a very focused expression. He raised his head after hearing Wang Yuanteng's words and said, "There are many villages near the reservoir and the routes are very complicated, but the task force back then eliminated them all after investigation. We walked around the nearby mountains and found several possible routes to dump the body, but none of them were easy to follow.”

"The deceased weighed more than 100 kilograms. Carrying such a heavy body on the mountain road is actually easier to leave traces. Logically speaking, it is not a wise choice." Wu Qiushan immediately considered the issue of weight bearing.

"It's not just about carrying heavy loads. It's very easy to leave traces when walking on mountain roads," Cen Lian thought, "You mean the murderer probably didn't walk on mountain roads or the main roads in nearby villages?"

If this is the case, how did the body sink into the reservoir? It couldn't have flown in out of thin air.

"The water routes are still being investigated, but we had already investigated the common water routes when the case was investigated, and we found nothing," Qi Yan typed a few more lines on his phone, "I am contacting a few friends who have hiked nearby to see if there are any more secluded hiking routes there."

The mountain roads, water roads, and village roads are all unreachable, which can only mean that the perpetrators either found another way or thought of some way to erase all traces of moving the body.

Either way, it is very difficult.

"Given the area of ​​this reservoir, it should be difficult to find a place where there is no village or no shop to secretly put a boat down," Tang Hua looked at the satellite map that had just been retrieved, "The body had been dead for two or three months when it was discovered, and it was hit by a rainstorm. Even if they left traces on the shore at the time, they would not be seen when the special case team went there."

"But we didn't find the boat either," Qi Yan had obviously thought about this problem, "The weight of this body requires a considerable counterweight to ensure that it sinks to the bottom, and ordinary inflatable rubber boats are very difficult to bear the weight."

It takes at least two people to dump the body, plus the body and the counterweight required to sink to the bottom, it is indeed not a small weight.

Even if a foldable speedboat is used, a small van cannot fit it.

Only the county road near the reservoir can accommodate slightly larger vehicles, so it is difficult to drive, take a small road, or row a boat to dump the body without being captured by the camera.

"The current case task force did check the car," Wu Qiushan remembered the investigation records he had read very clearly, "From this point of view, it is very likely that someone in the nearby villages is harboring the body."
