Chapter 597: Delicate Body and Expensive
"Oh my, this is so embarrassing..."
"Nowadays, it's not easy to find black donkey hooves. Many people just know how this thing is, so they buy it back and use it blindly."
"Money must be calculated, money must be calculated. Hmm, let's swipe this official business card."
Wu Jun held a large bag of black donkey hooves with a full face of smiles, happier than receiving a bonus.
Jiang Yuan was emotionally stable, wiped his mouth clean, stepped forward, and asked: "Master, shall I hold it for you?"
"No need, it's better for fewer people to handle this thing." Wu Jun refused flatly.
Wang Lan, who was full, held a small bag of soy-braised donkey meat and asked Wu Jun with a smile: "What's the significance of this?"
"There's no special significance. However, people have 'hand luck,' and if it's passed around, the nature of this black donkey hoof might become unstable. What did that Razor Theory say? If not necessary, do not increase entities, right." Wu Jun became more scientific as he spoke, immediately convincing everyone present.
The owner of Zhang Xiangji, Zhang Xiang, kept nodding, saying: "Wu Wu Fa Yi Wu's words make sense. How about this, when we kill a donkey again, I'll take the hooves off directly, put them aside separately, and you can come and get them when you have time. Just find me directly when you arrive; I'm usually in the shop. Let's add each other on WeChat."
"Alright." Wu Jun took out his phone and added: "Actually, you don't need too many. Just keep the ones from this kind of pure black donkey. Keeping a few a month is enough."
"You know how to pick. Dezhou black donkeys are good donkeys. To tell you the truth, we don't necessarily buy one or two a month; they are all mixed and sold." The owner Zhang Xiang was convinced by Wu Jun and whispered his shop's bottom line.
Of course, Jiangfuzhen and Jiang Yuan also knew about this. The Dezhou large black donkey is the largest donkey breed in China, tall and strong, with fat and delicious meat. But because the origin of the Dezhou large black donkey is close to Dong'e, it is mostly skinned and boiled into donkey-hide gelatin.
Furthermore, the breeding period of donkeys is very long, and the time it takes to raise a donkey might be longer than raising a cow. Therefore, with the rise of the donkey-hide gelatin craze in the country, the donkeys in the country have basically been eaten up. What has been supplemented are donkeys from Ethiopia, Kenya, Zimbabwe...
A normal donkey meat restaurant owner can be grateful if they can pick up a small donkey—below the Dezhou large black donkey, small donkeys are tastier than large donkeys. And in the situation where diners are not familiar with the donkey meat market, buying donkeys with famous names will only lose money in normal business.
The owner of Zhang Xiangji finally receives one or two, and will raise them in his own old courtyard. He only slaughters them when old customers come. Usually, he doesn't even want to let them pull a millstone, just constantly feeding them fine feed, highlighting "pampered and expensive."
"Alright, we're leaving. Change the position of that faucet later. Try to use well water. The Well Dragon King is also a Dragon King, warding off evil. This Well Dragon King is equivalent to our police station's station point. If you are close to it, the petty thieves will stay away." Wu Jun explained it simply and clearly, with reason and evidence.
The owner Zhang Xiang waved his hand, sent Wu Jun out of the door, and was reluctant to part.
Going out and getting in the car, Jiang Yuan also received several reports about the second body, and opened them on his phone on the spot to read.
Seeing this, Jiang Yuan couldn't stop.
The car had just started onto the main road when Jiang Yuan said: "I'll make a call to the bureau."
After finishing, Jiang Yuan dialed.
The phone rang twice and connected. Jiang Yuan asked: "Tang Jia, I saw in the report that the victim's family of the second body reported the missing person four months ago? Do you know the specific situation?"
"The reporter is He Yuxiang's wife, Huang Yu." Tang Jia said.
"The reporter claims the last time she saw He Yuxiang was one week before reporting the case, that is, April 13?"
"That's right." Tang Jia had also organized the relevant information in advance, saying: "Huang Yu's parents work in Beijing. Both returned to Beijing for the New Year in January this year and lived with Huang Yu's parents. Because He Yuxiang's business had been bad this year and he had debts, he didn't return to Changyang City. During this period, the two traveled in Beijing. By April, He Yuxiang took the opportunity to inspect the market near Beijing, going out early and returning late for many days, and lost contact on April 10. Huang Yu reported the case on April 13."
Jiang Yuan pondered for a moment and said: "That means Huang Yu last saw her husband four months, less than five months ago."
"Yes."
"Understood." Jiang Yuan hung up the phone, looked at Wu Jun and Wang Lan who were already sitting up in the car, and said: "This time doesn't match. I think we have to go to the autopsy room to take a look."
"Then let's go. We can even mooch a meal while we're at it." Wang Lan knew Jiang Yuan was just asking for his opinion.
Jiang Yuan then notified the driver: "Change the route. We're going to the funeral home."
The driver was Jiang Yongxin's man, but he hadn't been to the funeral home either. Looking at the pitch-black sky outside, the driver was about to cry: "Brother Jiang, you are my brother. At this time of day, you want me to go to the funeral home? My heart is really trembling."
Wu Jun laughed first: "What are you afraid of? Can the three of us dissect you?"
"Grandpa... don't do that. I have old people above and young ones below..." The driver began to slow down and gradually entered the state: "My mother is 69 this year and hasn't enjoyed a day of happiness. A monk calculated for my mother that my mother has a disaster at 69. We didn't take it seriously. I'm stupid; I didn't expect this disaster to finally fall on me..."
"Alright, get out of the car. I'll drive myself." Jiang Yuan didn't let the driver continue talking; if he continued, he would really cry.
The driver hurriedly parked the car, handed over the keys, and ran out of the driver's seat for the first time, shouting while running: "Brother Jiang, drive slowly. Tomorrow you can just give the car to Jiang Yongxin. I'm leaving first..."
Jiang Yuan shook his head with a smile, switched to the driver's seat, and drove up the mountain slowly.
The funeral home at night was exceptionally quiet.
On the ground, yellow paper scraps were blown up from time to time, rolled into the air, rolled into the shape of a king...
Bang.
The big door of the autopsy room made an opening and closing sound that could scare a ghost to death.
Three forensic doctors directly changed into white coats, put on masks and gloves, and started working.
The skeleton of the second corpse was lying on the autopsy table; the stark white bones looked as though they wouldn't decay any further. Although it was true that skeletonizing in just a few months was a bit fast, such cases were too common and not the core issue.
Jiang Yuan picked up the skeleton that could reveal the core problem, looked at it from beginning to end, in one breath, six pieces, before saying: "I can't see four months. From the local environment and state, the body has been dead for at least six months."
Jiang Yuan is LV6 in death time identification. Now he is just being conservative, so he didn't give a specific death time. But as far as Jiang Yuan is concerned, a death time of about 180 days is most likely. If he pushes it forward, based on the current rough estimate, putting it at 170 days is very reluctant.
And the time the reporter claimed to have last met was more than 140 days ago.
There is a gap of more than 30 days. Unless there are special circumstances, one side is wrong.
Wu Wu Fa Yi Wang Lan and Wu Jun also checked the skeleton.
Wu Jun looked at it very casually. After reading, he said to Jiang Yuan: "Follow your thoughts."
Wang Lan looked very seriously, flipped through many bones, and opened her notebook to make records and calculations. It took longer than Jiang Yuan. At this time, she still smiled bitterly: "My level is limited, I can't judge so accurately. Later, I might need to use the insects found in the grave to do another identification."
For ordinary forensic doctors, identifying a body from a few months ago, using forensic entomology knowledge is relatively accurate, simpler than using forensic anthropology to make judgments.
Especially forensic doctors in the locality identifying local bodies, the common necrophagous insects are just those few, such as the Lucilia sericata, commonly known as the green-headed fly. In summer, a body can attract it in about 10 minutes, and it can lay eggs on the body in as fast as an hour. Within a dozen hours, fly maggots will appear, and then the maggots grow 0.2 to 0.3 centimeters every day, maturing in four to five days.
That is to say, in a body that has been dead for five days, if you encounter the maggots of the green-headed fly, catch them and measure their body length, you can roughly judge the approximate time of death of the body in days.
A green-headed fly maggot takes 6 days to grow up, then dives into the soil to pupate, and at 14 days, breaks the pupa to become a fly. Therefore, seeing the broken pupa, you can also calculate the time.
And a green-headed fly soaring in the sky will not leave a fresh, decaying body. It will take one or two weeks to grow up, then quickly land to lay eggs, repeating the above process.
Therefore, if the body has been exposed in the wild for long enough, judging whether the nearby green-headed flies are grandchildren or great-grandchildren can also calculate the time.
Of course, all these times will be affected by the environment, like summer maggots growing twice as fast as spring and autumn ones.
Normal forensic doctors, familiar with several local insects, can do basic forensic entomology identification, but once it comes to discussion of breadth and depth, the difficulty increases exponentially.
Wang Lan herself knows few insect species, and it doesn't matter if she knows little about the various non-linear equations involved. She can completely take the insects obtained from the scene to ask experts.
In the current context, Jiang Yuan's judgment is enough. In fact, Jiang Yuan has already used forensic anthropology to make a judgment, but Wang Lan hopes Jiang Yuan can do it one more time.
After all, the three people present understand that the death time of the body is closely related to the case itself.
The insect samples are stored in the cabinet of the autopsy room. Jiang Yuan followed the trend and went directly to take the insect samples to see.
Soon, Jiang Yuan gave a relatively accurate death time: between 183 days and 190 days.
"In this way, He Yuxiang's wife, Huang Yu, has a major suspicion of committing the crime." Wang Lan said the key to this case.
Jiang Yuan had just read the transcript of the reporter, Huang Yu, and nodded: "According to the death time we calculated, when the victim was underground, he was still posting on Moments. Huang Yu's testimony is obviously problematic... I'll call Bureau Huang..." ===== CHAPTER 598 =====
