Section 165
Most likely they are all the same age.
Because when people reach middle age, some people will look younger if they take good care of themselves, while some people will look old if they are not good at taking care of themselves.
Moving his eyes again, Zhou Chen's eyes fell on the 'puppet' again.
"The corpse's frontal bone, sphenoid bone, temporal bone and zygomatic bone had many comminuted small fractures."
Yang Xu stared at the bones, "The cause of death may have been a blunt blow to the head, and the skeleton was later made into a puppet."
"Yeah." Zhou Chen nodded.
Same idea as he did.
"Is there any way you can think of to dissolve and retain the bones without any traces being discovered by forensic doctors?" Zhou Chen asked.
"There are so many ways to avoid being discovered by forensics."
Yang Xu's mouth twitched, "But from the marks on the bones in front of me, I can only think of one possibility."
Zhou Chen turned his head and looked at him.
Both of them thought of a possibility.
"Fire melt!" Shi.
Chapter 165: Human or ghost (5 updates)
"I have been exposed to such a horrific case before."
Yang Xu looked at the corpse in front of him and said solemnly: "The murderer's killing tool is a special large oven."
"It's the kind of container that is transformed into an oven, with countless heating tubes installed inside, and then people are put in and baked."
"The whole process is extremely cruel and inhumane, but it can roast the human body very quickly."
"With this method, the flesh and bones can be quickly split. It only needs to be baked several times to completely melt the flesh and blood, leaving a complete set of bones."
"But in that case, the murderer also had psychological problems. It can be said that he was a pervert. His purpose was to collect human bone specimens and use them as works of art..."
"But this method is simple and straightforward, and it is difficult for forensic doctors to identify the bones. However, this method of melting corpses "Zero 43" has a characteristic. That is, human bones will appear dark brown. This is not due to smoking, but It is a natural change after the flesh and bones are heated to high temperatures.”
Yang Xu moved his eyes away from the bones and looked at Zhou Chen, "Just like the roast chicken we eat, its bones are different from those of normal stewed chicken or fried chicken. The bones of roasted chicken will be different in color and will not leave any traces of fire. Bake marks.”
This is criminal investigation experience.
After seeing various suspenseful and bizarre cases.
Sometimes a veteran detective has more knowledge and experience with corpses than a medical examiner.
This can be seen from the stunned expressions of the two forensic doctors on the side.
"The process is correct, but one detail is missing."
Zhou Chen nodded, then shook his head, looking at the bones in front of him with cold eyes.
"What?" Yang Xu was stunned.
"he……"
Pointing to the corpse in front of him, Zhou Chen took a deep breath, "It was cooked first and then melted by the fire!"
"hiss!"
The sound of gasping for air echoed in the anatomy room.
Yang Xu was stunned, staring at the corpse for a long time, and smiled bitterly, "You are right."
How to tell?
The oily substance on the bones.
There is a big difference between 'cooked' and 'roasted'.
"But it's no use."
Zhou Chen shook his head, "From this we can only see the murderer's cruelty, but not his purpose of committing the crime."
Killing requires a purpose, unless you are insane!
Zhou Chen never believed that this case was a ghost killing.
Just like the last case of a killer group that was solved in cooperation with Yang Xu.
It's just some people pretending.
The two began to conduct 'autopsies' on the other seven bodies.
Their autopsy is different from that of forensic doctors. They rely entirely on personal experience and inferences based on the traces left on the body.
The first is the first victim in this case.
It was also the first body found.
The body was in a high state of decomposition.
What's strange is that the body seems to have been kneaded into a square shape, with many bones broken and the whole body being forcibly squeezed together.
He glanced at the evidence and luggage beside him.
Silver, 26 inches.
Let alone a normal person, a suitcase of this size would be impossible for even a ten-year-old child to get into.
Putting an adult with a height of 171cm and a weight of 70kg into it seems more like a joke.
Therefore, the corpse was turned into a... cube by the murderer.
Forced into the suitcase.
No, it's not a corpse, it's stuffed in while alive!
How?
It is possible to make a living person into a 'block'.
But in the process, the person must have died.
So, why did the autopsy give a report that the person was still alive after entering the suitcase?
The two of them just looked at the body for half an hour.
Yang Xu gave up and shook his head, "Impossible!"
Zhou Chen didn't speak. He looked away, picked up the autopsy report prepared by the forensic doctor and read it over.
He murmured, "The autopsy showed that there was a small amount of foamy liquid in the trachea of the deceased, and there were multiple spot-like bleedings under the mucosa of the stomach... These are typical symptoms after frozen meat!"
"Huh?"
Yang Xu was shocked, "Frozen?"
"Um."
Zhou Chen said while looking at the autopsy report: "When the human body is in an extremely low temperature environment, the body will show symptoms of hypothermia syndrome... Just like if we freeze a piece of pork and then thaw it, the meat will have a lot of water stains. , the same is true for the human body... "
"You mean that before the victim was put into the suitcase,..."
Yang Xu was stunned, "Frozen to death?"
"No, it's the breaking point."
Zhou Chen put down the autopsy report and said with a stern face: "Wanting to freeze a person to death requires a process. Even if the temperature is extremely cold, humans can withstand it for a period of time... The murderer first froze the victim's body, and then suppressed his body into cubes. Then quickly thawed. In this state, not only can the victim not feel any pain, but he can also live for a while."
"What's the principle?" Yang Xu couldn't understand.
"I don't understand either."
Zhou Chen shook his head, "Just like people who live in the cold zone, their life span is longer than those in the tropics. This is a mystery of the human body."
Although I can't understand it, the human body is so magical.
Through the two men's subsequent 'autopsy', the death conditions of all the victims seemed bizarre, but the manner of death could be explained.
"funny."
Zhou Chen sneered, "What the hell is going on!"
Yang Xu nodded solemnly, and he knew this.
Then he asked the key question, "How do you explain the female ghost on the surveillance camera?"
Zhou Chen's expression suddenly froze.
Yes, the corpse is easy to explain.
How do you explain that a person can levitate in the air?
A laptop was placed in front of the two division directors.
A surveillance video slowly played.
Night, 1:25. 2.7
In the dim night sky, a white shadow slowly floated.
As "it" slowly floats closer.
You can see that this is a figure nearly two meters tall, wearing a white nightgown.
Through the video, you can see that she turns her head from time to time.
A pair of eyes scanned the surroundings, and his mouth opened, revealing bright white teeth.
There was also her long hair and the bright red blood on her nightgown.
She, like a flying ghost, floated across the surveillance camera and disappeared into the night sky.
Zhou Chen, who opened his eyes of insight, gradually turned ugly.
Although the video was shot at night.
But it can be clearly seen that this is indeed a person.
Here comes the problem.
How did she manage to levitate and fly? .
