"This is the case Jiang Yuan is currently handling. The murderer is suspected to be a serial killer who is challenging the police."
"Provoking the police in Ningtai, isn't that provoking Jiang Yuan?"
"The specific situation is still unclear..."
"Let's not worry about who the murderer is, let's just look at the case. Jiang Yuan is in charge of the case, right? Has he solved it?"
"No. It's been over a week, and we've only confirmed the identity of one victim. The sources of the other two bodies have yet to be determined."
"Oh, let's take a look."
In the ministry's guesthouse, a group of forensic doctors who came to attend the meeting happened to gather together. The discussion soon turned to Jiang Yuan, and then to the case that Jiang Yuan was currently investigating.
There are more than 2800 districts and counties in China, including more than 2 towns, more than 7000 townships, and more than 8000 streets. In such a large area, an ordinary person can be said to be really very ordinary. If you can't be the first among the people around you, then there is no talk of national ranking. But no matter how you rank, the words "three corpses in one case", "serial killer", and "provoking the police" are still explosive when they are put together.
This is a case that an ordinary forensic doctor will never encounter in his lifetime.
A diligent forensic doctor will not be noticed by criminals and will not commit murder provocations.
Even if provoked, such an important case would most likely not be solved by a diligent forensic doctor. He might not even be qualified to investigate. It would be good enough if he could support the waist of the person standing by, and the waist he was supporting might very well be a corpse.
Even the forensic pathologists who were qualified to work in the ministry still frowned with envy when talking about Jiang Yuan's case.
"This case is indeed difficult to solve. The murderer must be knowledgeable. He cleaned the body and threw it into the river. Add to that the corruption... there are definitely not many clues to use."
"You are very knowledgeable when you say this."
"Do you have any information? Take it out and let me see."
Then a forensic doctor really took out a notebook and said, "I asked the Jiang Yuan case team for some photos of the scene, as well as photos of the body and bones, and asked them to help them take a look. Shall we examine them together?"
The oldest forensic doctor present pushed the plate of food in front of him forward and signaled the other party to put the notebook in front.
A group of people gathered around without any pretense. In order to save space, they hugged each other and stared at the screen.
The older forensic doctor clicked the mouse repeatedly.
He pressed it at his own pace. Those present today were all national experts, their technical prowess was beyond doubt, and they were all younger than him, so they could only read the photos faster than he could.
There were only dozens of photos in total. The older forensic doctor calmly went through the photos and then began to ponder.
The others looked much the same.
After a long time, someone squeezed to the front and started flipping through the photos by himself.
Some photos have scales, so we can get some specific data.
Different forensic scientists have different needs for data.
Several forensic doctors took out their notebooks and began taking notes.
At the same time, several other forensic doctors returned to their seats silently.
There is no forensic anthropology without a forensic doctor. Even the most basic forensic doctors know how to determine the gender of a corpse by looking at the pelvis or pubic bone. But there are very few forensic doctors who truly understand forensic anthropology.
All those present are national-level forensic pathologists. In general, their forensic pathology skills must be at level 3 or above. Anyone who is slightly famous must have started from level 3.
However, forensic anthropology is not very reasonable. It is similar to skull reconstruction, half science and half metaphysics, and is covered by a hazy veil of art.
Most of the people who specialize in forensic anthropology are anthropologists, including physical anthropologists, and all of them graduate with a bachelor's degree in law. Forensic pathologists, on the other hand, graduate with a bachelor's degree in medicine. The two cannot be said to be completely different, but they are completely unrelated.
Forensic scientists who understand and are familiar with forensic anthropology are basically later learners.
All that can be taught in school is up to the pelvis.
Among the forensic pathologists present, there were only four who were confident in forensic anthropology and could reach the upper level 2.
The four of them counted for a long time, and someone said, "Looking at the state of the bones, it should be a male, between 21 and 28 years old?"
The older medical examiner said, "22 to 27 should be fine. Height should be 170 to 175 cm."
"There are signs of trauma on his long bones, probably caused by an impact in the river. I think we can judge his height based on the spine, and it could be between 171 and 174," said a local Beijing expert confidently.
All three spoke, and then looked at the fourth person, who was the owner of the laptop.
The fourth person spread his hands: "I agree."
Several people laughed, making the scene much more relaxed.
"How's Jiang Yuan doing?" asked the older forensic doctor.
"I heard it wasn't going well." Someone replied.
"Let me ask you about the current progress." The older medical examiner paused for a moment and then said, "The body is in a very bad condition indeed."
Someone will make the call.
After a while, a report came back and a note was handed to the older forensic doctor, saying, "Captain Ding, this is from the Ningtai County Bureau. It contains several conclusions made by Jiang Yuan."
Several experts came over curiously.
"The victim is a male, aged 24 to 26, 172 to 174 cm tall, shoe size 42 to 43... He is obese and has been carrying heavy loads for a long time, but he is not a heavy laborer..."
The recitation was slow, and the atmosphere in the room gradually became cold.
"It has to be a young man." The most experienced expert laughed and said, "He is bold and careful. Jiang Yuan has a talent for forensic anthropology."
"That's for sure. Looking back on the cases he handled for the Beijing Bureau, his judgments were all extremely accurate."
"He is always like this, leaving no room for maneuver. Is the age limit stuck at three years?"
"He put it over three years, so he should have left some room for improvement."
"He carried heavy loads, but he was not considered a heavy laborer. How did he make that judgment?"
"Maybe through bone composition?"
Several people joined in the discussion again, but the content of the discussion this time was a little different.
At the same time, the work content of Jiang Yuan's backlog case task force began to change.
As Qiao Shengli completed her sampling work, Su Lei brought all her students over. After getting off the car, they entered the laboratory of the Ningtai County Criminal Police Brigade. Some of the brand new instruments had just been installed, and the students were already operating them skillfully.
This was originally a long process, but under Huang Qiangmin's gentle urging, the professor's personal supervision, and the students' day and night efforts, luck finally came.
Only less than a quarter of the samples had been collected, but there were samples that matched the diatoms found on the body of deceased No. 1.
"The place where the deceased No. 1 fell into the water is in the Qianjin District. It is the downtown area of Qinghe City!"
When Liu Jinghui saw this conclusion, he was surprised and astonished.
"How dare you!" Wu Junhao had already prepared for the search, and at this moment he just said in a deep voice: "There are quite a few people in the Qianjin District, especially many outsiders. Even if we visit them, I'm afraid the effect won't be very good."
Liu Jinghui thought about it and said, "Check the companies, especially small companies, or temporary workers in large and medium-sized companies. Ask each company one by one to see if there are any people who have lost contact recently. There are also food delivery drivers and couriers. A 25-year-old young man who has been carrying heavy loads for a long time has a higher probability of working."
"Maybe he trained in the gym?" Wu Junhao thought of this loophole casually.
Liu Jinghui shook his head: "There is no way to check the membership of the gym. No one will remember if you haven't been there for a long time."
"What if you live in the Qianjin District and work somewhere else?"
"The investigation company is faster. If it's a residential area, it's more difficult to conduct a field investigation. If there are cohabitants, they should have been listed as missing by now." Liu Jinghui's thinking was very clear, and he said, "In short, first investigate the part that can best complete the investigation. If the results of the field investigation are not good, then think of other more expensive methods."
