Chapter 401: Unidentified Corpse 122

Noon.

The sun was shining brightly, and the golden sunlight was showing its power as much as it could.

In three basins as big as Guihua, the pork intestine, pork stomach, and chicken were steaming, with oil shining on the surface, looking like a super high-fat, super high-protein, super high-purine, super unhealthy, and super delicious appearance.

"Come, come, come, use your chopsticks. The last time we ate this pork intestine, pork stomach, and chicken together was the case of the scavenger old man. Looking back now, it really feels like a long time has passed..." Hou Lejia was full of emotion.

For him, the neighboring Ningtai County indeed had too many changes. Old opponent Huang Qiangmin was promoted to deputy director, which was actually nothing rare. Now many criminal investigation brigade captains in cities have been promoted to deputy directors. It is nothing more than a change in position. The things they do, aren't they still those things in the end? In addition, the arrival of Jiang Yuan's cold case task force, as well as Director Chai and others...

In the past, one or two months of ordinary time, because of the relationship with Ningtai County, Hou Lejia felt that time had become faster.

In the past, Hou Lejia was such a thrifty person. It was impossible to treat people to a big meal like pork intestine, pork stomach, and chicken as soon as they met. It must be a simple meal first, save a little bit, and then a big meal later, and then skip a meal to save some money. Going back and forth, at least he could save the money for three meals.

But this time it didn't work. The City Bureau wanted to engage in the "Year of Cold Case Tackling". In Hou Lejia's understanding, it was to let the county bureaus go to find Huang Qiangmin and find Jiang Yuan to hook up.

Otherwise, if every county and every district had to solve a homicide cold case, this requirement would be too high!

In Hou Lejia's view, the only feasible way was to ask Jiang Yuan to take action. Jiang Yuan and his cold case task force solve twenty or thirty homicide cold cases a year. Just allocating a little time and energy to come over would be enough to complete the city-wide task of Qinghe City.

No need to think too much, the leaders of the Qinghe City Bureau definitely had such an idea, but they were particularly democratic when assigning tasks.

If you have the ability and luck, you can solve a homicide cold case yourself. If you have no ability and no luck, go ask Huang Qiangmin and Jiang Yuan.

Hou Lejia understood it this way, and did it this way. The movements were silky, and the thoughts were calm.

His Longli County has been ranked behind in criminal investigation for years. However, being ranked behind is one thing, and being at the bottom is another

thing.

Things like homicide cold cases, if you do it, it's 1, if you don't do it, it's 0. The most feared thing is that everyone else goes to ask Jiang Yuan, and finally only Longli County is left with a duck egg—Hou Lejia suspected that if it was the second half of the year, everyone started to get nervous, Huang Qiangmin would really rank him last.

"Team Leader Jiang, I toast you." Hou Lejia raised his glass, his attitude almost pious.

Jiang Yuan accompanied him to drink. Today is the weekend, which can be considered a rest day. Although half of Jiang Yuan's cold case task force came.

More people from the Longli County Criminal Investigation Detachment came, one by one, ready to do a big job.

Hou Lejia had also released the words long ago. This homicide cold case, no matter who commands, who gives orders, the horn doesn't stop, the charge doesn't stop...

The police officers actually have a lot of motivation. In case solving, failing to attack for a long time is the most damaging to morale, but if you attack cities and seize villages and win constantly, material rewards are not needed. Spiritual elements such as honor are enough to support everyone for a long time.

The reputation of Jiang Yuan's cold case task force is enough for the departure fee of the young men of the Criminal Investigation Brigade.

"Team Leader Jiang, I'll make a circle, toast you first." Hou Xiaoyong and other leaders in front raised their glasses and started to drink in a circle.

"Good." Jiang Yuan drank it happily.

His state of mind is unusually relaxed. On the one hand, the work in Miaohe County was too tense. Not to mention that Case 503 was a major case supervised by the ministry, finding Guihua was also a race against time, for fear that if it dragged on for too long, Guihua would have an accident.

However, coming to Longli County to do cold cases, Jiang Yuan's emotions were relieved.

After all, it is a cold case, especially before the case officially starts, these cases that have stopped for three or five years, one or two years, don't seem to require starting within a few days.

On the other hand, Jiang Yuan is also waiting for the equipment to arrive.

Skull Reconstruction

The biggest demand for the technique is a CT machine. If not, an X-ray machine can also carry out the work, but it is best to have a CT machine.

Currently, the price of a domestic CT machine is just a small six-figure sum, including installation and subsequent maintenance costs, which is not much different from the price of a Passat, and it is the same difference between high and low configuration. This part has to fall on Captain Hou of Longli County.

Of course, this requires Longli County to have a corpse suitable for skull reconstruction.

Among them, the most promising one is the unidentified corpse case in Longli County. Looking back, if it is suitable, you can ask Director Huang to chat with Captain Hou. I hope Captain Hou's mood will not be too bad by then.

The pork intestine, pork stomach, and chicken are still delicious.

The soup with a lot of pepper is hot, spicy, salty, and fragrant to drink, tender, smooth, and chewy to eat. Drinking a little wine, the whole body exudes hot air, just like a corpse just taken out of an ice coffin, as if there is white air rising.

When a rotten corpse is taken out of an ice coffin, not only will white air float up, but there will also be rising stench.

The volatility is not very strong, but it is very rich, just like a piece of stinking meat just taken out of the refrigerator. You can hardly smell any stench at the tip of your nose when you hold it in your hand, but when you want to identify it, you get close to that piece of meat and sniff hard, and the concentrated stench will instantly make people regret it.

"Unidentified Corpse 122. Discovered on January 22 last year, it has been more than a year now, and the time of death may be two months longer." Wu Wu Fa Yi Old Ye of Longli County pulled the corpse out of the ice coffin and checked the label to confirm it was correct.

He actually knew that he was careless and prone to mistakes, so he forced himself to pay attention to certain details, but the effect was average.

Jiang Yuan put on a disposable one-piece suit, wore a 3M mask, wore two layers of rubber gloves, and directed Wang Zhong to push the corpse to the dissection room together, and then put it on.

Wang Zhong, as a trace examiner, although there is always endless work, Jiang Yuan still brought him out. On the one hand, using trace examination as an assistant for skull reconstruction can improve the convenience by 0.1. On the other hand, Wang Zhong's level is too poor. With his Level 0.9 level, if he doesn't improve while he is young, he will be another Old Yan when he is old.

Old Yan is about to retire, and he is still a high-level Level 1 trace examiner. He can't talk about room for progress, and he has no motivation to progress himself. Taking advantage of the small workload in Ningtai County, being a tool man is appropriate.

Old Ye had Wang Zhong to help, quickly did a check, and said: "The corpse was discovered in a river bend south of Lishou River. At that time, the river was frozen. Several young people ran in to play, and as a result, in the reed field, they found the corpse facing up, half-frozen on the river surface."

"Half-frozen?" Jiang Yuan asked.

"The water in the reed field is not deep enough. At noon, it will thaw, and at night it will freeze again. So the degree of decay of the upper and lower parts of the corpse is different. Experts from the Provincial Department came to see it and felt it was relatively rare, and were prepared to take it as a case." Old Ye finished speaking and continued: "The corpse should have drifted down from the upper reaches and ran aground in the reed field

. By the time it got to me, it had already melted seven tenths. Many of the meat had rotted into the bag, the face couldn't be seen, and the fingerprints couldn't be taken..."

Old Ye shook his head while recalling, and by the way, showed the rotten parts of the corpse to Jiang Yuan and Wang Zhong.

Both of them had no expression. The corpse was actually already very bad. The eyeballs were swollen and protruding, and the face couldn't be seen as a human. This kind of corpse that rotted and was carefully preserved and continued to rot is relatively difficult to see outside the forensic circle. It has some disgusting differences from the rotten corpse occasionally encountered in the countryside that rots from beginning to end.

Jiang Yuan took action, turned the head of the corpse, and carefully judged the integrity of the skull.

This corpse was already dissected by Old Ye, and the easily rotten internal organs and other parts had been taken out and made into wax slices. Now if you want to do a secondary dissection and make a fuss about muscles and other tissues to find new clues, it is still very difficult.

"Personal clothing was not found, right?" Jiang Yuan confirmed. Some things, in unclear situations, might not be written in the report, but if you ask directly, it is still possible to have a harvest

Old Ye shook his head and said: "When it was discovered, there was no clothing left. The most complete one was the socks on the feet, which also faded. There are photos in the report, you should have seen them."

"It counts as a clue." Jiang Yuan sighed, recalled the report, and said: "A woman was smothered to death and abandoned in the river. It is highly likely to be a crime by an acquaintance. Fine, boil it."

Jiang Yuan made a decision.

When the corpse was discovered, the face had already rotted. In the case of no fingerprints and no matching DNA, only forensic anthropological means could be used to determine the source of the corpse.

Old Ye was not surprised, turned his head and shouted at Wang Zhong, took out a large steel pot from the hanging cabinet, put it on the stove, took out an electric pressure cooker, plugged in the electricity, and then took out two casserole pots and put them on the induction cooker.

Wang Zhong looked at the casserole pot and felt a bit familiar. He turned around and saw that there was a line of red characters on it: Pork Intestine, Pork Stomach, and Chicken.

Wang Zhong silently added water to the casserole pot, then turned around and turned the characters to the back. ===== CHAPTER 402 =====
