Chapter 1021: Five Fingers

Jiang Yuan took the fingerprints and started marking, then compared them.

At the same time, Miao Ruixiang, who was acting as an assistant, looked at a pot of used oil and the half bucket of Jinlongyu oil left, and fell into deep thought.

The oil used to fry only one finger actually looked quite clean, with only a little white foam left on the edge of the pot. If it was skimmed off... it would be no problem to fry a hundred or so fingers.

"Senior brother, should the remaining oil be poured out?" Miao Ruixiang asked a little uncertainly.

Jiang Yuan, who was comparing fingerprints, was stunned: "Otherwise? Do you want to take it back?"

"No, no, this is not a rabbit." Miao Ruixiang shook his head hurriedly: "I was thinking, in case you want to fry other fingers or toes later..."

"Pour it out, where are there so many fingers to fry. Toes are not needed either." Jiang Yuan waved his hand.

Deep-frying fingers is not a very unpopular fingerprint technique. If you count it, you can operate it normally with a strong LV2 technology. If there is any limitation, it is the requirement for the condition of the fingers. The fingers must have a complete dermis layer to be worth deep-frying, and the epidermal layer must be severely damaged to be worth deep-frying.

The corpse on the autopsy table, among the ten fingers, only one finger happened to have such conditions. However, forensic doctors have invented different ways to deal with fingers at different time periods, such as fingerprints with less decay can take epidermal gloves, and those with less decay can be injected, etc.

In short, when facing the project of human corpses, forensic doctors have spent a lot of effort over the past hundred years.

Miao Ruixiang spent a lot of effort to pour out the oil left in the pot, then took a rag and dish soap, and brushed the pot as if he had accepted his fate.

Theoretically, the oil pan that fried only one finger doesn't need to be cleaned at all, but if it's not washed, Miao Ruixiang really can't stand the suspicious smell emitted by this thing.

Jiang Yuan sat in front of the computer for a long time.

The fingerprint comparison never yielded results.

With Jiang Yuan's current level of fingerprint identification, this can be defaulted to not being in the fingerprint database.

"Keep this finger well, preserve the whole finger." Jiang Yuan specifically exhorted Miao Ruixiang, and then started further autopsy.

The degree of decay of the corpse is relatively heavy, and there is no head. The surface examination of the corpse is basically meaningless. The focus is on taking some physical evidence or biological samples. For example, things like water grass, fishing lines, fish hooks, fish floats, and hemp ropes wrapped around the corpse, in addition, the remaining parasites or metabolites must also be taken down one by one.

These were all very trivial tasks. Not only were the three forensic experts—Jiang Yuan, Miao Ruixiang, and Wu Jun—hunched over working, but the criminal police who came to check on the situation were also pulled in to help to speed up the progress.

After working like this for almost an hour, Jiang Yuan said again: "Ruixiang, boil the water."

"Ah? Oh, yes!" Miao Ruixiang didn't react at all, and only realized after turning his head that it was time to take the bones.

The best way to take bones from a corpse is to boil them in water. The bones taken out this way are white and clean, much better than those picked by knives.

The Ningtai County Criminal Police Detachment bought professional pressure cookers, water bath pots, and other utensils very early. The pressure cooker needs to be disassembled, which saves time relatively. The water bath pot is a stainless steel pot similar to a wooden bucket bath, which comes with its own electric heating function and can process a whole corpse at once, but it takes a lot of time to heat a whole bucket of water, which belongs to saving effort but taking time.

Jiang Yuan was not in a hurry, so he let Miao Ruixiang prepare the water bath pot to put the corpse, and then said to Wu Jun: "Master, let's take a break first? Wait for the time?"

It takes a long time to boil water and then remove the bones. Taking the hot pot of Haidilao as an example, a normal pot is about 10 liters, and to boil a person, it takes at least a dozen pots. And the electric heating capacity of the water bath pot is not much stronger than that of the hot pot.

Wu Jun said "En," and before leaving, he looked at the Jinlongyu oil left in front, and said to Miao Ruixiang: "You can add some oil to the pot when boiling, it won't overflow when it boils."

"Oh." Miao Ruixiang felt that he had learned something, and felt that it was useless knowledge.

Wu Jun lit a stick of agarwood in the office.

Jiang Yuan studied the fingerprints for a while, and after no results, he studied the scene videos of the corpse discovery.

Neither of them was too anxious. For this type of case, the core is to determine the identity of the corpse. If this cannot be done, solving the case will have to rely on some luck.

"Wang Lan is here." Wu Jun answered a phone call and put down the Guan Gong in his hand.

"Forensic doctor Wang? Is she here to support?" Jiang Yuan was a bit surprised. The forensic strength of the Ningtai County Bureau is strong, and it is said that there is no need for municipal bureau support. And the daily work of Wang Lan and others is actually very busy. Qinghe City has so many counties and districts, and they basically go on business trips every month.

"Her tone doesn't sound like it." Wu Jun said, and got up to go downstairs to greet her.

Wang Lan was wearing a uniform, and her thin body was light, like a head carrying a uniform and floating.

Entering Building No. 9, Wang Lan first looked at it with envy, but it was too late to chat, so she said to Jiang Yuan and Wu Jun: "We found several fingers here."

"Fingerprints?" Wu Jun corrected.

Wang Lan shook her head, took out a large lunch box from her bag.

Opening the lunch box, she took out the ice pack inside, and then took out a bag of fingers.

"Five fingers, no vital reaction." Wang Lan said, handing the fingers to Jiang Yuan, and said: "Found on the side of the road in the Qianjin District, seen by people walking dogs."

Vital reaction refers to the reaction that only living bodies have, such as bleeding, infarction, edema, thrombosis, etc. No vital reaction means that the fingers were cut off after death.

Therefore, five fingers without vital reaction mean that there is a corpse behind, at least an arm that has been cut off.

"The fingers are still fresh." Jiang Yuan quickly looked at the fingers, stood up and said: "Go to the autopsy room, take fingerprints and see."

The three of them returned to the autopsy room together.

Ding.

The elevator door opened, and there was a rich smell of boiled meat coming out.

All three of them kept their faces cold and didn't say anything. In the forensic territory, it is best not to be greedy.

Opening the door of the autopsy room, I saw Miao Ruixiang wearing a white mask and a white hat, standing on a stool, holding a large iron spoon, stirring hard in the water bath pot.

The steaming steam rushed to Miao Ruixiang's face, steaming his face red.

"Is it boiled?" Wu Jun asked first when entering the door.

"Almost. Almost." Miao Ruixiang said busily: "Do you want to take one and see first."

"Don't mess around, it's uncomfortable to rub meat from the bones, wait for it to be boiled and removed from the bones." Jiang Yuan was not so anxious, found another table to spread out, and started to study the five fingers brought by Wang Lan in the lunch box. ===== CHAPTER 1022 =====
