Chapter 256: So how did this bird disappear?

At this moment, Chen Fan's mind was filled with thoughts about how this bird entered the water and threw the bone in.

The reason is simple: Chen Fan really found substances from a bird's digestive tract on the bones. Science cannot lie.

Old Zhou said, "There are many ways to explain it."

"Then you tell me."

"I don't know."

Hahahahaha.

Several forensic experts laughed happily. They had to admit that when they saw Chen Fan analyze the substances, they were also startled. Their first reaction was, what the hell?

A fish ate the finger, then a bird ate the fish, then it excreted it, it fell into the water, and then it was picked up by a human and placed here?

Isn't this just pure nonsense?

Soon, Li Tian's investigation ended, and he obtained an unbelievable fact.

This frogman did indeed put the finger there, but the finger was placed there by the frogman himself, just because he thought it was fun.

No other reason.

This result, let alone the forensic experts, even the audience felt it was absurd.

"Holy crap, can it really be like this? Is this illegal or not?"

"But I always feel like it's not illegal, holy crap."

"So, what exactly is going on?"

"Damn, big brother, how idle are you to be able to do something like this? Humans can't do this."

In the observation room, Qin Ming said, "If you put it that way, it's understandable."

What's understandable, big brother, you don't actually believe it, do you?

Teacher He said, "Does this exist?"

Qin Ming said, "It exists, and there are many, definitely not a small number. Let's put it this way: people sometimes really do strange things. I experienced the most bizarre case: a couple got drunk, and after discovering a corpse, they didn't rush to call the police, but instead held hands and took a dump nearby, then ran away."

"We investigated for a long time at the time and found the couple through the feces. The result was an unbelievable outcome. Honestly, you don't even know how to handle this stuff; at most, you just educate them."

Yuanyuan said, "Humans are really strange, just for fun?"

"Yeah. Who would have thought? Actually, Chen Fan's idea is understandable: fish eat meat, then birds eat fish, forming a cycle. That still makes sense. But who would have thought that this action was just the frogman putting it there himself."

Li Tian was at the scene and said, "That kid told me he just wanted to see the forensic experts' skills. He'd been salvaging corpses for days and his head was hurting, so he wanted to see if Chen Fan was as badass as he was on the livestream."

Chen Fan was speechless and said, "So where was this bone found?"

"The guy said he picked it up himself. We went to that area and searched for a long time but never found the body."

Chen Fan had a dark face and said, "Then what now? We continue here?"

Several big shots nodded one after another.

Chen Fan was helpless and continued testing.

Then he opened a book and began to study some local ecological knowledge.

"Based on time estimation, at this time point, most of the fish that appear are of a few types. And there aren't many fish that can eat human flesh and swallow a finger. Most importantly, it also has to be caught by a bird, so the number is actually quite limited."

Old Zhou looked at the text and said, "Then it's actually upstream. The water there isn't very deep, which is convenient for birds to catch things."

"Right, and the fish needs to be big. But now the fish have been caught by everyone, where would there be any big fish?"

"What if it's where they farm fish?"

After this was said, everyone instantly felt that their line of thinking had been wrong.

Li Tian hurriedly took out a map, compared it, and said, "Does this count as the upstream you mentioned?"

"I suppose so, why?"

"Then it's basically this guy, no doubt. This guy is farming fish. He has a criminal record. When I was investigating this case, I looked at the list of criminals, and this kid is one of them."

Chen Fan was speechless and said, "Li Tian, this is criminal discrimination. Just because someone has made a mistake doesn't mean they will make mistakes in the future. Why do you suspect him? This is naked discrimination. I despise you."

"I don't need to look for gold in shit, do I? By the same logic, if I want to find scum, why not look for scum directly? You've made mistakes, shouldn't you bear the consequences? What's this, victim-blaming, moral kidnapping?"

Chen Fan said, "No, I'm just purely trying to disgust you."

Screw you.

Li Tian took people directly to investigate the scene.

Feeding corpses to fish is simple; just send the frogmen into the water.

As for how the frogmen go into the water, there's one ready-made right here. This ready-made frogman just made a mistake and is eager to prove himself.

The person went down.

Basically, once they arrived at the scene, for Li Tian, it was immediately obvious whether this guy had made a mistake or not.

The person was salvaged; it was bones.

After comparison, it was discovered that it was indeed a corpse.

The man also confessed to his crime.

"This woman was a girlfriend I met online. She came here to play. We drank a bit at night, and I wanted to play with her, but she didn't agree and wanted to leave. I didn't let her, so I strangled her."

This result was very speechless.

"Then how did you dispose of the corpse?"

"I just threw it into the meat grinder over there, the person was shredded, and then I put it directly into the river. I often have nothing to do and use chickens and such to feed the fish, and no one noticed."

Tsk tsk tsk.

The man asked curiously, "How did you find out?"

"It was the birds flying in the sky. They ate the fish from your place, then pooped, and the bones fell out and were picked up by someone else."

The annoyance and regret in the man's eyes were never about killing someone.

It was that he was caught somewhat unjustly; why did such an unlucky thing happen to him?

When Li Tian saw this scene, he also felt uncomfortable in his heart. Why is it that these people are always annoyed about being caught for their crimes, rather than about the crime itself?

In the observation room, everyone watching the arrest process, Teacher Luo said, "Are you surprised? This person, even now, has no intention of regretting, and is even just annoyed that he was caught for such a boring reason."

Yuanyuan said, "Then this person should be shot."

Shishi on the side said, "Right, he should just be killed."

Qin Ming said, "That's what the law is for, not us forensic experts. However, there are indeed many such people. This is why many people say they can't see the regretful emotions of criminals. Many people are not worth sympathizing with because these people, when committing crimes, never think about the harm they cause to others after the crime, but only think about why they were so unlucky to be caught."

Here, at the scene, after several people processed the bones, they continued with their seminar.

Someone brought up an interesting topic.

"Absolute relaxation."

A very interesting point. After proposing the topic, this man directly began to demonstrate his Qigong level.

"I am now gradually tending towards absolute relaxation."

Chen Fan was speechless and said, "Then you must be dying."

？？？？？

The forensic expert looked at Chen Fan. No, big brother, are you being polite?

What do you mean?

Old Zhou coughed and said, "Child, your topic direction is wrong. In forensic anthropology, regarding corpses, go and read up. Absolute relaxation can only be achieved by the dead; living people cannot do it."

Eh?

It seems that really is the case. I remember that forensic anthropology indeed mentioned such a thing.

And here, someone used a dining cart to push over a few corpses.

"Everyone come over. Right, you newcomers, come too, and calculate."

Three people appeared: Chen Fan, and another boy and girl, who were considered the most brilliant young people to emerge this year.

"We've processed the corpses. You three, come and calculate the time and so on."

The first boy stepped out and started examining the corpse directly.

"The average oral temperature is 37.19°C, the normal range is 36.7–37.7°C; the average rectal temperature is 37.47°C, the normal range is 36.9–37.9°C; the average axillary temperature is 36.79°C, the normal range is 36–37.4°C."

"Factors of the corpse itself mainly refer to the deceased's age, physical condition, cause of death, etc. In general, the corpses of children and the elderly cool down quickly, while those of young adults cool down more slowly. Newborns can drop to the ambient temperature within 5–10 hours after death. Because fat has an insulating effect and dissipates heat slowly, obese corpses cool down more slowly than thin ones. The corpses of those who died from chronic wasting diseases, massive hemorrhage, drowning, or large-area burns cool down quickly, while the cooling speed of corpses of those who died from sudden death, mechanical asphyxia, or carbon monoxide poisoning is slower."

Chen Fan was on the side, silently reaching out and taking some melon seeds from his pocket.

He started eating them.

Several big shots gathered around and each asked for some.

The man examined meticulously and said, "The time of death should be between fifteen and twenty hours."

Pfft.

Chen Fan couldn't hold it back and laughed out loud.

The man said, "What are you laughing at? I've tolerated you for a long time."
