Chapter 973 Quick Wisdom

Chapter 973 Quick Wisdom

A corpse is like a person; the more it experiences, the uglier it becomes.

A drowned body, like a person immersed in society, becomes ugly especially quickly.

It will swell, it will rot, it will stink, it will become inhuman.

Just like this body lying on the stainless steel bed.

Its tiny appearance can scare a peaceful person into insomnia.

But under the shining knives, pliers and electric saws, I finally calmed down.

Jiang Yuan, along with two forensic doctors, two forensic assistants, and two cameramen, dissected the entire body thoroughly, which took just over an hour in total.

Is it necessary to ask so many people? If you really want to investigate every detail, it is better to have more people.

The workload of autopsy is actually very large. If you look at those famous cases, you will know that after many cases are handed over to famous experts, it often takes more than one or two days to get the results.

Because famous cases require extra care, they naturally take extra time.

When encountering corpses in daily life, the forensic doctor usually makes a judgment first, and then conducts an investigation after finding some clues. The smarter forensic doctor will take a few more samples as backup, so that he can continue to examine them if needed later. For those who are rotten or lack funds, there is no need to go through so much trouble.

In the early years, for many cases, the forensic doctor examined the scene, performed an on-site autopsy, and issued a report directly. There was no need to collect specimens or anything, and there were no conditions for that.

Even now, the core model remains the same. Ordinary people may expect an autopsy to include all the tests, but there are too many tests, such as poison tests. There are so many poisons in the world, how can we check them one by one? In the case of the poisoning of the chairman of Youzu Interactive, the murderer built a drug factory and tested hundreds of substances. In the end, the poisoning was successful. By the time the victim, who was worth tens of billions, died completely, it took 9 days to find out what the poison was.

Forensic examinations naturally vary in their level of detail. Due to the limitations of human size, three forensic doctors can almost reach full capacity.

With two more forensic assistants, the efficiency is basically maximized. As for video recording, it can be regarded as a legal requirement. Its main function is similar to that of condoms, which helps to reduce the risk of negativity and is necessary.

"Okay, now that you've finished reading, tell me." Jiang Yuan took off his gloves and began to wash his hands, while the other two forensic doctors began to clean up.

"The body is that of a female. As far as we know, the deceased should have died before entering the water, as evidenced by obvious heart and lung injuries. The cause of death is mechanical damage caused by a blunt instrument. It was caused by rocks, and by mountainous rocks. In this case, the victim's body was thrown into the river after death?" Jianjiang City's medical examiner Wen Youchuan first summarized the main pathological conclusions.

Modern forensic medicine has made very thorough research on the objects that cause injuries. For example, blunt force trauma is complicated to explain, but sticks, bricks, and so on are mostly instruments that cause injuries. However, this stuff is like the miscellaneous items in an antique shop. Although they are miscellaneous, we will just summarize them one by one.

If we want to draw a definitive conclusion in a few words, this is the most respected form of Chinese culture, and in fact it is also the most advanced thing in scientific research. The so-called "unified field" and the constantly demolished physics and mathematics buildings are all built on this.

But for a technology that is highly practical, it would be great to have a "unified field theory". If we can't get it, we can just summarize some results first and use descriptive and enumeration methods to make do.

For example, rock injuries are characterized by irregular strip-shaped edges. When the blow is severe, irregular linear fractures or depressed fractures may occur. In addition, there are often rock fragments in the wound because the outside of the rock is often weathered.

In contrast, pebbles will cause arc-shaped linear fractures, and if there are any fragments of stone in the fracture area, they will be relatively large.

Of course, when it comes to the details, especially when it comes to writing the conclusion, it is still a great challenge for forensic scientists.

A normal forensic report would only report mechanical injuries caused by blunt objects. A diagnosis such as stone injury or rock injury would only be included in the investigation file at most.

Of course, we will definitely try our best to find the "rock" next, but it is hard to say whether we can find it during the investigation or we will have to wait until the person is caught and interrogated to find out.

Jiang Yuan washed his hands, stood further away, took off his mask, smiled, and said, "Captain Wen's judgment is correct. I also agree that the body was thrown into the water after death."

Wen Youchuan's face inexplicably turned red, and the corners of his mouth curled up uncontrollably.

Even though I just answered an ordinary question, I was praised by an expert. It feels so beautiful. What should I do?

"The scars on the corpse's legs are mostly post-mortem injuries, but the several scars on the back of the right leg feel like they were caused before death." Wen Youchuan couldn't help but say another sentence.

"Yeah, I agree." Jiang Yuan continued to nod.

"The body must have been dead for more than 10 days." Another forensic doctor was Wang Lan, a female forensic doctor from Qinghe City. She was originally a mobile team of the Qinghe City Bureau and was waiting by the river this time. If a body floated over, she would be in charge of the salvage work.

Jiang Yuan also agreed: "At least 10 days."

He naturally has a more accurate judgment, but it is still important to listen to the opinions of colleagues. Dissecting a corpse is different from performing surgery. Some secondary parts can be directly operated by other forensic doctors, so the opinions they give are first-hand opinions.

Seeing Wang Lan start the challenge, Wen Youchuan added, "Judging from the condition of the corpse's uterus, she must have given birth before. If so, the hospital probably has records of it?"

"Sure. However, for a body from 10 days ago, the upstream range is large. Let's see if the DNA can match." Jiang Yuan said this uncertainly, but his tone was very confident. This case... at least this body, was relatively easy for him.

Now it is found that the deceased had given birth, which makes it easier. Having given birth means that the deceased had a family and a high probability of having strong connections, which greatly increases the probability of being reported missing.

Of course, the best is always DNA, but we have to wait for the report from the laboratory.

Wang Lan continued: "Judging from the clothes of the deceased, he was most likely an office worker. His underwear was intact, so it should not be rape."

"Yeah." Jiang Yuan responded. This judgment was relatively subjective, but he also agreed.

Wen Youchuan and Wang Lan started talking, and then they talked about everything one by one. Some of them could get Jiang Yuan's approval, and some of them could be put aside for the time being and would not have any impact.

Wang Chuanxing took notes and organized them quickly, and soon put together two pages of paper.

By the time Huang Qiangmin and Wu Zhisu had finished their talk and went to see it together, they had already obtained information at the Guan Bao level.

"Not bad, not bad." Wu Zhisu nodded repeatedly.

"Satisfied?" Huang Qiangmin asked.

Wu Zhisu smiled: "It's only been a few hours and we have achieved such results. I am already very satisfied."

Huang Qiangmin was waiting for him here. He had just read the content, so he asked Jiang Yuan: "Do you have any other ideas?"

"We can make a few updates." Jiang Yuan saw Huang Qiangmin say this and knew that he had finished the discussion, so he said: "The time of death can be more precise, 12 to 14 days. Wearing high heels. There are still calluses on the fingers from using a pen. Although they are swollen and a little less obvious, he should have the habit and need to use a pen on a daily basis..."

Wang Lan couldn't help but look up at Jiang Yuan and smiled helplessly. She could say that she had watched Jiang Yuan grow up, but she never expected that he would grow so strong now.

Wen Youchuan had less contact with Jiang Yuan, so he couldn't help but say, "In this case, the search range will be very small."

"Alright, alright!" Although Wu Zhisu felt some pain in his flesh, he still felt a little refreshed after the pain subsided. He said, "In this case, I'm basically a female office worker? Well, if I go missing during work, someone will definitely call the police. Following Taihe River, there aren't many jobs that require pens..."

"In addition..." Jiang Yuan paused again and said, "This body should not have floated far away. The previous scars on the legs should be traces of water plants entangled. Judging from the species, it is most likely in the Jianjiang area."

Jiang Yuan noticed this detail when he was examining the body's surface, but to determine whether it was a trace of entanglement by water plants required a lot of forensic botany.

Wu Zhisu was stunned by what he heard. If the place of death of this drowned body could be confined to one city, this case would be really easy to handle.
