Chapter 377 Clothing Fragments
At this time, it is really not a good thing for them to have new cases. If it involves other complicated cases, it will be full of lawsuits.
However, as a police officer, you cannot ignore it if you find a dead body. In any case, it is a matter of life and safety for the people.
"If the body can really be found, I can have one more new case in this project," Professor Gao was still thinking about his own project. "The more cases there are, the more correctness of all the hypotheses I put forward will be verified. We will be able to cooperate more with the police and may be able to solve many cases.”
Cen Lian could feel Professor Gao's visible excitement.
"Isn't it so satisfying to solve a case and arrest someone?" Tang Hua stepped forward, "Isn't it much more interesting to simply conduct research in the laboratory with you?"
"If the research projects can be applied in practice, they are not just castles in the air," Professor Gao smiled slightly. "This project of mine can more or less do something practical."
Something similar to the integration of industry, academia and research popped up in Cen Lian's mind, but he didn't expect Professor Gao to care about this.
…
As the car drove all the way to the suburbs, the surrounding population became sparse. Although Yongchang's tourism industry was relatively developed, there were not many people living in the suburbs outside the tourist area. Rice and other cash crops could be seen growing in the distance. .
"We're almost there," Cen Lian looked at the map. "It's in a village near the scenic spot."
The vehicle bypassed the relatively lively scenic spot and came to a nearby village. Before entering the village, I saw the owner of a B&B at the intersection greeting guests. This shows that the tourism industry in this place is very developed.
Their vehicles with local license plates did not attract the attention of these bosses. The driver from Yongchang City Bureau seemed to be familiar with this area. After twisting and turning in the village, he stopped at the entrance of a closed courtyard.
No one has lived in this yard for a long time, and no one even lives in the surrounding houses, so they drove the car over without concealing their whereabouts.
"The rust on the door is already very heavy. It can be seen that it has not been maintained for a long time." Wu Qiushan rubbed the rust on the door with gloves, "What did the head of the household say?"
"This yard belongs to a local villager. When we called to inquire, the village committee said that the old couple moved to the provincial capital with their son two years ago and have not been back in the past two years." introduced the municipal bureau police. situation here.
There is nothing special about what the head of the household said. The yard is too far from the main road outside the village to be used as a bed and breakfast. After moving out, the house will be considered abandoned.
"There are traces of climbing over the wall on the east side of the yard," Yuan Chenxi shouted from a distance, "A few shoe prints are still fresh."
Cen Lian heard the sound and came over. When he looked up, he saw that Yuan Chenxi, who was wearing shoe covers, had climbed up the wall along the place where the shoe prints appeared, and then climbed lightly into the yard.
"The door lock has also been tampered with." At this time, Wu Qiu Shan, who was still checking at the gate, also made a voice. "The padlock has been pried open, and some of the rust on the door latch has been worn away. It should be in recent months. Someone kept pulling the latch."
Yuan Chenxi communicated with Wu Qiushan for a few words, and soon opened the inner and outer doors in a coordinated manner.
"The stagnation is not serious when the iron door is pushed. There are indeed people coming in and out." Wu Qiushan said as he pushed the door open.
"I just don't know who is interested in this courtyard." Cen Lian smelled a somewhat unpleasant smell as soon as he entered the courtyard. "This smell..."
Before he could say anything, he saw several policemen from the Yongchang Municipal Bureau rush into one of the rooms and come out with a glass bottle.
There are two straws stuck on the glass bottle.
"Sure enough, it must be a colleague from Dian Province," Tang Hua was stunned, "You will know it is this thing just by smelling it."
"I can't help it. I've been exposed to it too much." The policeman from the city bureau said with no surprise on his face. "Especially in the village, there are many people who dare to touch this thing."
Cen Lian could think of how many drug addicts they encountered at work before developing the conditioned reflex to rush in when they smelled something.
But when he walked into the room just now, he realized that there shouldn't be any big cases here.
"If there is a body, it should be at this location." Professor Gao did not participate in the police action, but concentrated on looking for a place in the yard that matched his guess, and soon he stood in the corner.
Wang Yuanteng and Qi Yan stood behind him, looking like bodyguards.
Cen Lian took a brief look at the room, which only had some old furniture left, but was littered with a lot of domestic garbage and still had many traces of drug abuse, and then went out to find the place Professor Gao mentioned.
"Is this here?" he asked curiously.
"There were originally some hydrangeas in this yard, but they are now in decline. However, based on the current situation of the plants, I can confirm that the hydrangeas were still in bloom at least in the spring and summer of this year. The distribution of other plants nearby is also consistent with my previous judgment." Professor Gao frowned, "But I remember you said that the body has been removed."
This makes it somewhat unclear what is going on below.
"Anyway, let's dig it out first and take a look." Cen Lian made the final decision.
When I came here this time, I brought shovels and shovels specially in preparation for digging up the corpse. But when we actually dug, no one expected it to be so easy.
"The soil is very loose." Professor Gao observed it for a while and said, "It looks like it has been filled in twice."
Although reburial is usually done after the grave is moved, this kind of reburial without compacting the soil is quite rare. At least Cen Lian himself has never seen such loose burial.
The excavation process lasted for half an hour before Lin, a forensic doctor, called a halt.
"There is something." Lin, a forensic doctor, had already dressed and waited nearby. After calling a halt, he immediately stepped forward to clean up with his hands. However, he only cleaned up a part of the hand that was not completely corrupted in two or three minutes.
Professor Gao was visibly excited. The body found by Lin confirmed his judgment again. There was indeed a body here, and it had been buried for several months.
As Lin, a forensic doctor, and several people who helped him gradually cleaned up the arm and half of the body, a line of criminal records appeared in front of Cen Lian.
[Long-term drug use]
This man named Yu Ping had only a single criminal record on his head, showing his identity as a drug addict.
"There are other things under the body. You lift the body first." Forensic doctor Lin moved Yu Ping's body away and immediately found something wrong underneath. So she asked Tang Hua and Qi Yan to lift the body up, while she continued to check the soil under the body.
Soon, she cleaned up a few pieces of bloody clothing from the soil below.
