National Forensic Doctor Chapter 693 - 693 636 Mummy

693: Chapter 636: Mummy 693: Chapter 636: Mummy “Get the cri scene team and the trace evidence team here, and call in the forensic doctor too.

Take pictures.

And check out the situation with this renovation company, call the family…”

Qian Tongyi issued commands swiftly, his excitent at seeing the body all pouring out.

He had been working on this case for a month now, and with a substantial breakthrough finally at hand, Qian Tongyi was almost too preoccupied to pay attention to Jiang Yuan and the others.

Jiang Yuan didn’t mind, though; these were routine arrangents, and if there were any issues, he would have raised them.

Putting his ‘three-piece suit’ back on, Jiang Yuan approached once more, observing the body inside from a distance and through a crowd.

Several detectives went downstairs to buy crowbars, hamrs, drill bits, and the like from a nearby hardware store and started chipping away at the walls with clanging and banging.

“They made it pretty solid,” Mu Zhiyang complained as he worked.

“It’s just like a prison wall they built for themselves.

If the workers made my house renovation this solid, that would’ve been sothing.”

“Want to be buried in it?” chuckled a police officer standing next to him.

Thinking about it, Mu Zhiyang said, “Burying the owner in the wall, that’s pretty ruthless.

If we hadn’t found it this ti, who knows when the body would be discovered.

Would it be when the sll spread to the neighbors?”

“It might not necessarily sll worse,” Jiang Yuan noted from afar, pointing with his hand and saying, “The murderer poured more than two bags of quickli into this wall, and it seems like cent was mixed in with the li.

It should at least absorb moisture without a problem.

As for the sll, without any fluids from decomposition, it wouldn’t be very strong.

The body’s decay would progress slowly, and if soone hasn’t slt a decomposing body before, they might not be able to identify it.”

Quickli is commonly used as a desiccant in food products and is also one of the common construction materials.

When many people enter a freshly renovated house, the first thing they usually sll is a whiff of li.

For a body, decay is the primary cause of the odor of decomposition; if it’s a dried-out corpse or in a mummy-like state, then the sll of decomposition is minimal.

However, looking at it from another angle, the sense of sll varies from person to person.

So people, after suffering from a cold, take a long ti to recover their sense of sll and can’t sll anything, whereas pregnant won often experience a significant increase in their sense of sll, turning odors they normally wouldn’t notice into a big annoyance during pregnancy.

The general population’s sensitivity to the sll of decomposed bodies also varies, and although many stories involve neighbors who sll the stench of decomposition and call the police, there are neighbors who wouldn’t notice that sll.

Additionally, the state of the body and the weather environnt can also affect the production of odors.

For instance, a person with more body fat in their abdon and visceral areas, logically speaking, should decay to a greater extent upon death.

Similarly, in humid weather and high temperatures, at spoils faster, which is well known by regular people.

“Stack the bricks on the plastic sheet.”

Seeing whole bricks being taken down, Jiang Yuan specifically ntioned this.

There could potentially be fingerprints on the bricks, so while the chances were slim, it was still worth checking.

Mu Zhiyang obediently complied and turned back to look at the TV wall, saying, “I’m thinking, if we hadn’t co this ti, would the people behind us ever have discovered this?”

“Not necessarily, they might have found it, or maybe the next people would have renovated it all over again,” Jiang Yuandao said.

“If it hadn’t been found, and the next person buying the house happens to love watching TV, does that an they would be facing a corpse every day?” Imagining the scene, Mu Zhiyang couldn’t help but shake his head.

“If there’s no sll, it shouldn’t really affect anything,” Jiang Yuan spoke with a forensic doctor’s tone, his voice reassuring, “It’s like how so people hang a deer head or bear head on their walls.

It’s the sa with mounted fish specins.”

Mu Zhiyang focused on his work, “I get it; even if I beco a fisherman in the future, I won’t make specins anymore.”

As Qian Tongyi’s excitent subsided a bit, he chuckled and said, “Given our vacation days and salary, we wouldn’t be able to afford being fishern, let alone making specins.”

All the police officers in the room nodded in agreent:

“That’s comforting.”

“Better than being a corpse.”

“Actually, so people can make money and not be corpses at the sa ti.”

Backup police forces arrived as quickly as possible.

With more people and equipnt, they quickly dismantled one side of the eastern wall.

The body flowed out along with the quickli and cent.

“The back of the head was hit with a hamr,” Jiang Yuan skipped over the jargon and gave Qian Tongyi and the others the cause of death first to facilitate their further investigation.

Qian Tongyi nodded in understanding, “Blunt force!”

“Mhm, most likely a hamr, about the size of a pig’s brain,” Jiang Yuan gestured for emphasis.

Qian Tongyi relayed the information, and the search for the Xin Xin Construction and Decoration Company was already being prepared within the city.

During this ti, hamrs and other types of blunt instrunts were certainly among the key items to search for.

Jiang Yuan continued to examine the body with utmost seriousness.

It was incredibly difficult to spot a body like this; there was an elent of luck involved.

If it hadn’t been for the discovery in a house undergoing renovation, this case would still be at zero clues.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yuan specifically looked at the limbs of the body and then said, “This should be the primary cri scene.

Look for any bloodstains to see if there are any.

Also, the killer likely drove away from here.

Check the nearby surveillance to see if narrowing down the search area yields any findings.

Wait while I check the ti of death… It should be the night she disappeared.”

“The ti of death can be determined that accurately?” Liu Cheng, who had been standing in the room like part of the backdrop, couldn’t help but ask aloud.

Jiang Yuan humd in affirmation and said, “The quickli has a dehydrating effect, which has preserved the condition of the limbs quite well.

We can inquire with the decoration company about when this wall was built, which should pretty much confirm it.”

Without ntioning the forensic doctor’s judgnt on the ti of death, the ti the wall was built should be a very stable base point for determining the ti of death.

Qian Tongyi imdiately expressed his agreent, then went out to make a phone call.

Yu Wenshu had already mobilized the entire Criminal Police Brigade, sending two teams to raid the decorator company’s premises, while others began to review surveillance footage for video evidence.

In no ti at all, the owner and project manager of the decorator company, as well as a dazzling array of designers at various levels, were all brought under control.

Qian Tongyi imdiately received the news and reported, “The ti of death is indeed the day she went missing.

The wall was built by a worker hired by the decoration company.

The worker took on the job individually, settled accounts after finishing the work, and was paid in cash.

The project manager from the decoration company only kept the worker’s mobile number; he didn’t even see an ID.

People have been sent to look for him.”

“Trace the mobile number as well,” Jiang Yuan reminded him.

Qian Tongyi acknowledged with an “okay” and continued busily responding to various ssages.

As the case broke open, there were many more people interested in it.

After they finished speaking, Liu Cheng moved closer to the body and whispered to Jiang Yuan, “Captain Jiang, your estimate of the ti of death is incredibly precise.”

“That’s how it is when you’ve been doing this for a long ti,” Jiang Yuan responded, lightly fiddling with a few chunks of quickli while looking at the body.

“The old forensic doctors at the Beijing Bureau have been doing it even longer,” Liu Cheng said with a smile.

“Actually, in so cases, accurately determining the ti of death might just crack the case.”

Jiang Yuan didn’t beat around the bush and said offhand, “If you have a case you want to look at, send it directly to Director Huang.

If he confirms everything is fine here, I’m always willing to help.”

“Really?” Liu Cheng hadn’t expected Jiang Yuan to be so “easy-going.”

Jiang Yuan nodded, “In fact, you could have sent cases directly to before, but now the complexity of cases is increasing.

We need to be sure of the specifics.”

“That’s only right,” the unspoken topic did not need explaining.

While they were talking, Qian Tongyi returned and said, “The mobile number of the wall-building worker was purchased.

This guy is very suspicious!”

Jiang Yuan wasn’t surprised.

He stood up and stretched his waist before saying, “The thod of murder is very clean, and moreover…”

He paused for a long ti.

Unable to resist, Qian Tongyi asked, “Moreover, what?”

“Rember we said before that he knows how to deal with vehicles, that he’s a repeat offender?”

“I rember.”

“He opened up the victim’s abdominal cavity and took out all the internal organs from inside,” Jiang Yuan said, looking up at Qian Tongyi.

“This…” Qian Tongyi was bewildered and repelled, even as a policeman, by this step.

Mu Zhiyang, who was standing nearby, frowned deeply, “Wouldn’t that leave a big ss?”

Jiang Yuan said, “He probably laid quickli on the floor, conducted the operation there, and then buried the quickli inside the wall.”

Jiang Yuan, while speaking, pointed to the clumps of quickli before him and said, “These are the extracted organs.

Additionally, the victim’s abdominal cavity was likely filled with quickli, too.”

“That’s a bit like making a mummy,” Liu Cheng exclaid in amazent.

Jiang Yuan nodded, “A crude version, but it should have worked.

However, because the body is mostly decomposed, it’s still not easy to determine his exact thod of operation, but anyhow, I don’t think this is his first ti doing this.”
