Chapter 608: Mummy

"Call the scene investigation and trace inspection people to come, and the forensic doctor too. Take photos. This, check the situation of this renovation company, call the family members..."

Qian Tongyi issued orders quickly, releasing all the excitement of seeing the corpse.

He had been investigating this case for a month, and now that there was finally a substantial breakthrough, Qian Tongyi couldn't care about Jiang Yuan and the others.

Jiang Yuan didn't mind; these were all routine arrangements. If there were any problems, he would bring them up.

Putting on the three-piece suit again, Jiang Yuan stepped forward and observed the corpse inside through several people.

Several criminal police officers went downstairs and bought crowbars, hammers, electric drills, and the like from a nearby hardware store, and started chiseling the wall with a clanging sound.

"It's built quite sturdily," Mu Zhiyang complained while working. "It's worthy of being a wall built for oneself. When my house was renovated, it would be amazing if the workers could make it this sturdy."

"Should I bury you inside?" the police officer next to him laughed out loud.

Mu Zhiyang thought: "Burying the owner inside the wall, this person is quite ruthless. If we hadn't found it this time, I don't know when the corpse would have been discovered. Stinking until the neighbors found it?"

"It won't necessarily stink more," Jiang Yuan looked from a distance and pointed with his finger, saying, "The murderer poured more than two bags of quicklime into this wall, and the quicklime feels like it's mixed with cement. At least moisture absorption is not a problem. As for the smell, without corpse water, it won't be very stinky. The decay of the corpse will proceed gradually. If it's someone who hasn't smelled corpse odor, they won't necessarily be able to judge it."

"That's a bit like making a mummy," Jiang Yuan exclaimed.

"He opened the victim's abdominal cavity and took out all the internal organs," Liu Cheng looked up at Mu Zhiyang.

Liu Cheng nodded: "In the past, it would have been fine to send it directly to you, but now the degree of the case is getting higher and higher, so we have to confirm the specific situation."

"The old forensic doctors in our Beijing Bureau have been doing it for longer," Jiang Yuan replied with a smile, "Actually, for some cases, maybe determining a death time is enough to solve it."

"That's truly comforting."

With more people and equipment arriving, after a clanging sound, the east wall was quickly dismantled.

Besides, the state of the corpse and the weather environment actually affect the generation of the smell. Just like some people are fatter, with more abdominal fat and visceral fat, then logically speaking, the degree of decay should be higher. Similarly, dry weather and low-temperature states make meat more prone to decay. This kind of situation is something ordinary people have seen.

Liu Cheng nodded: "A luxury version, but the effect should be there. But because the corpse has already decayed quite a bit, it's still not easy to judge his specific operation mode. But regardless, I don't think he did this for the first time."

Liu Cheng said: "He should have spread quicklime on the floor, finished the operation on it, and then filled those quicklimes into the wall."

With a breakthrough in the case, more people cared.

"Is the death time so accurate?" Jiang Yuan stood in the room, originally acting as a background board, but couldn't help asking at this moment.

Ning You saw the whole brick taken down and specifically mentioned it. It's possible for fingerprints to be left on the brick; the probability is low, but it should still be checked.

"It's like this after doing it for a long time." Liu Cheng looked at the corpse and gently poked a few quicklime blocks.

Liu Cheng didn't play riddles with him and said casually: "If you have a case you want to see, just send it directly to Bureau Chief Huang. Once he confirms there's no problem on his side, I'll help you look at it anytime."

He paused for a long time.

Liu Cheng continued to look at the corpse, and looked very seriously.

"If there's no smell, it doesn't affect anything," Liu Cheng said in a forensic tone, with a comforting tone: "It's the same meaning as some people hanging a deer head or a bear head on their wall. Hanging a fish specimen is the same."

It's not easy to have a corpse to look at. This wave is somewhat lucky. If it weren't for finding the corpse in this house under renovation, the case would still be in a zero-clue state.

"Hmm, it's highly likely to be as big as a hammer pig brain," Liu Cheng gestured.

Liu Cheng let out an "Hmm" and said: "Quicklime has a dehydrating effect, and the preserved state of the limbs is quite good. Just ask the renovation company about the time the wall was built, and the time will basically be determined."

Mu Zhiyang responded with a "Good" and continued to busy himself replying to information from all parties.

However, from another perspective, the sense of smell is inherently different from person to person. Some people's sense of smell cannot recover for a long time after being positive, and they can't smell anything, while pregnant women's sense of smell often increases significantly, so that smells that couldn't be smelled at ordinary times become a big trouble during pregnancy. Ordinary people's sensitivity to corpse odor is also different. Although there are many stories where neighbors report to the police after smelling the neighbor's stench, some neighbors can't smell the neighbor's stench.

"The back of the head was hit by a hammer," Liu Cheng didn't say any technical terms and first told Mu Zhiyang and others the cause of death to facilitate their further investigation.

"Chase the mobile phone number again," Liu Cheng reminded.

Quicklime is a commonly used desiccant in food and is also one of the commonly used building materials.

Mu Zhiyang also immediately received the news and said at the first moment: "The death time is indeed the day of the disappearance. The person who built the wall was a worker hired by the renovation company. The worker took the job himself, settled the bill after finishing, and took cash. The project manager responsible for the renovation company only left the other party's mobile phone number and didn't even look at the ID card. People have already been sent to find him."

Qian Tongyi next to him frowned even more: "Doesn't that mean there must be a large pool of traces?"

Not to mention the forensic judgment of death time, in terms of the time the wall was built, it should be a very stable baseline for death time.

Mu Zhiyang couldn't help asking: "And what else?"

Ning You was not surprised. He got up and stretched his waist, saying: "The method of killing is also very neat, and..."

Jiang Yuan waited for them to finish speaking, then moved to the side of the corpse and asked Liu Cheng in a low voice: "Team Leader Jiang, your judgment of the death time is really accurate."

Liu Cheng said, pointing to the quicklime wrapped in a ball in front of him, and said: "These are the internal organs taken out. In addition, the victim's abdominal cavity should also have been filled with quicklime."

The corpse flowed out along with the lime and cement.

"Hey, is that so?" Jiang Yuan didn't expect it to be so "easy to talk to."

Ning Youchao nodded to show he understood and said: "Blunt instrument!"

Yu Wenshu had already mobilized the criminal police detachment. Two teams of people ran to raid the renovation company, and other manpower started to retrieve surveillance to find image information.

"Remember we said before that he knows how to handle vehicles and is a habitual offender?"

Mu Zhiyang immediately expressed agreement and then went out to make a phone call.

"The bricks are piled on the plastic sheet."

"If it's not discovered, will the people who buy the house later watch TV every day facing the corpse?" Qian Tongyi imagined this scene and couldn't help shaking his head.

A room full of police officers nodded one after another:

Many people entered the newly renovated house, and the first thing they smelled was a lime smell.

"Actually, some people can make money while also being a corpse."

"Should be, should be." This is a topic that doesn't need to be stated clearly.

Mu Zhiyang's excitement faded a little at this time, and he laughed and said: "With our holidays and wages, we can't be anglers, and we can't afford specimens."

"This..." Ning Youchao was shocked. Even as a police officer, he felt this step was disgusting.

"Not necessarily, maybe it can be discovered, maybe the people later will renovate again," Ning You said.

"Better than being a corpse."

Reinforcement police force arrived at the fastest speed.

Ning Youchao followed suit obediently, looked back at the TV wall, and said: "I just think, if we hadn't come this time, wouldn't the people later have failed to discover it?"

"Remember."

Qian Tongyi buried his head in hard work: "Got it, even if I become an angler in the future, I won't make specimens."

While speaking, Mu Zhiyang returned again and said:

"The mobile phone number of this wall-building worker was bought. This guy has a big problem!"

And for a corpse, decay is the main cause of corpse odor. If it is a dry corpse, or a state similar to a mummy, the corpse odor is negligible.

Mu Zhiyang conveyed it down, and the city had already started preparing to search the company of this Xinxin Construction and Renovation Company. During this period, hammers and other types of blunt instruments must be key search targets.

Thinking of this, Liu Cheng specifically looked at the limbs of the corpse and said: "This should be the first scene. Find out if there are any bloodstains. In addition, the murderer should have left by car from here. Find the surrounding surveillance and see if there are any discoveries after the scope is narrowed. Wait for me to check the death time... it should have died on the night of the disappearance."

It didn't take long for the boss of the renovation company, the project manager, and the dazzling array of designers at all levels to be controlled. ===== CHAPTER 609 =====
