Chapter 708: Teenager

Small woods.

If viewed by the standards of a city park, this kind of woods composed of trees two stories high is considered a deep forest, which can accommodate murder, arson, and forced sexual relations between men and other genders. But in the deep suburbs north of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, this kind of woods is called a small woods.

Of course, there can be dead people in this kind of woods.

Li Jiang stood a few meters away, blocking himself outside the cordon, taking photos while saying, "We finally found a corpse, and we're just watching from afar without going up to investigate. Is this appropriate?"

Wang Chao, in the same group, also took photos and said calmly, "It's not that hard to find. Since the special task force was established, we've followed Team Leader Cui and found several corpses."

"The total number is relatively large, but we have to look at it from the level of the criminal police detachment. The total number of corpses found by our criminal police detachment is not yet large..."

"Are we covering a criminal police detachment with one special task force?"

"Don't pull this. My meaning is... we have to do a basic check according to regulations."

"According to regulations, not destroying the scene is the priority. Jiang Yuan is right there and will be here soon. Isn't that better than the few of us checking? With our technical level, it's purely like a gorilla looking at r=a(1-sinθ), thinking it's a big butt." Xiao Si stood far away, lazy and lying flat, drinking water while saying, "You guys drink some water too. You've already polluted the scene with urine; you'll have to make up for a portion of urine later. Don't let people look down on you."

"You talk too much. You drink more." Wang Chao handed him another bottle.

Li Jiang took two steps back and said, "Team Leader Cui said, Jiang Yuan is not omnipotent."

Several people looked at each other, and then all laughed.

Jiang Yuan arrived quickly.

Xiao Si and the others were originally latecomers, belonging to the type of supplementary soldiers filling the line, filling the second line, and the distance to the command center wasn't far.

When Jiang Yuan came over, the three stood directly on a small slope not far from the road, each standing with their hands tied, like a family of meerkats.

Jiang Yuan ran two steps, climbed the slope, greeted them, and asked, "How was the scene discovered?"

"We came up from here, peed by the road. Li Jiang didn't dare to compare sizes with us, wanted to go inside, peed secretly, and saw the corpse." Xiao Si was mainly childish and spoke without taboo, just a string of words.

Li Jiang's face turned green when he heard it, and he lowered his voice. "The Bureau Chief is behind."

"The Bureau Chief doesn't know your bird." Xiao Si's voice was also quite low, belonging to a bird that had let go but was still stealing food.

Bureau Chief Chu heard it, just pretending not to hear it. Otherwise, what could he do? He only remembered the unlucky look of Cui Qishan when he called.

Jiang Yuan followed the position Xiao Si said, leaned on the side to look, and there were fresh footprints rubbed out on the ground.

However, footprints in the woods and footprints on the land were different. Most of the footprints here fell on trees, branches, and leaves, often only with small abrasions, just like the staff in the business KTV. If they want to expose meat, they must expose it, but they don't expose much, don't expose it centrally, don't expose it at the key points, and the exposed parts are not easy to match.

Of course, at Jiang Yuan's level of footprint identification, it was like a local earthwork boss investing in the financial circle. Looking at the skin rubbed off the branches, and then looking at the footprints left by several people on the side of the road, he could even see the order of the three people walking.

"How far did you see the deceased after entering?" Jiang Yuan asked while Mu Zhiyang recorded behind him.

Jiang Yuan rarely made interrogation records, which was mainly because he had few opportunities to encounter current cases, but in reality, the more he knew about the scene, the better the records were.

Li Jiang said, "I saw it, went around two trees inside, and it was three or four meters away."

"These few meters... had to jump in?" Jiang Yuan's words carried some slight suspicion.

Li Jiang didn't refute, just said matter-of-factly, "We stayed in Zhanggang Village, peed a lot in the wild, and there's no harm in going inside."

He had been a criminal police officer for longer than Jiang Yuan, and he also knew what Jiang Yuan was suspicious of, and didn't feel offended. It was the same for him to make interrogation records; he also had to ask such questions, because it was obviously contrary to common sense, especially for guys in the capital who peed in the toilet every day, where would they know the truth that they couldn't pee on the side of the road where it was easy to climb, no experience, right?

And Li Jiang's explanation was to update his common sense library.

Jiang Yuan couldn't help but nod. No wonder Cui Qishan's subordinates discovered the corpse. Don't look at the distance of just a few meters; the secondary forest in the wild was full of bushes and vines. One had to have the necessity to go inside to split it open, or jump in.

Similarly, the victim should be in the same state.

Jiang Yuan nodded, looked while walking inside, thinking, if it was also to pee, this young man walked a bit too far.

"Have you touched the deceased?" Jiang Yuan asked next.

"No." Xiao Si said dryly, "Walked to about two meters, confirmed death, approached and looked, then retreated to the back. We are wearing law enforcement recorders."

After all, they were criminal police in the capital. The spirit of lying flat was as bright as a light column, and the habit of not doing wrong was also as rolling as a mudslide.

"Didn't you smell the smell?" Jiang Yuan asked this sentence again, looking at Li Jiang. This was a small trap he hid when asking "how far did you see". After doing criminal police for a long time, the thinking of doubting everything was also integrated into Jiang Yuan's brain.

Li Jiang smiled and said, "At first, I thought it was the smell in the woods, didn't think much, thought it was rotten leaves or something. Who knew there could be a corpse in the woods."

Jiang Yuan nodded and said, "I'll look at the corpse first."

He said, stepping forward, trying his best to get close to the corpse to observe.

The deceased sat leaning against a pine tree.

Judging from the body shape of the corpse, the deceased was thin and weak, and his face could barely be seen. Indeed, there were some characteristics of a teenager.

The clothes were a set of Nike sportswear, mixed with green and purple, holding a backpack in front of his chest, with a fallen water bottle beside him.

Although the corpse was in a sitting posture, according to Jiang Yuan's judgment, the height of the deceased should be over 1.75 meters.

As for the cause of death...

There was no obvious trauma on the head and neck, so Jiang Yuan put on gloves and gently moved the corpse.

A touch of red appeared in front of the deceased's chest.

Jiang Yuan frowned. He had just been guessing whether the deceased had the possibility of poisoning. Unexpectedly, obvious trauma appeared.

If it was poisoning, the deceased had the possibility of accidental death, but if it was obvious trauma—just the woods they were currently in, I'm afraid there were no large animals that could easily kill a teenager 1.75 meters tall. Even if this outrageous unlucky thing happened, why didn't the winner eat his prey?

It couldn't be that he risked his old life just for entertainment. This kind of thing only happens to humans on the Blue Star.

"Come over to take photos. Bring two more lights." Jiang Yuan gave continuous orders.

They were now more than ten meters deep into the woods, which was nothing on flat ground, but in the woods, it was actually densely packed and there was nowhere to step, and the vision wasn't very good.

After the two investigation lights were turned on, Jiang Yuan had finished the inspection outside, and with Mu Zhiyang's cooperation, gently turned the corpse over halfway.

"This is a gunshot wound." Jiang Yuan looked at the penetrating wound exit on the back of the deceased, and even white bone stubble came out, a typical star-shaped exit, with some blood-stained white-yellow adipose tissue and suspected visceral fragments attached around it.

After Jiang Yuan waited for the photos, he carefully took off the backpack in front of the deceased's chest.

This was even more obvious. The oval entrance was in the middle of the chest, and the clothing and skin had changes after damage...

Xiao Si and the others were stunned.

Xiao Si couldn't help but say, "This was hit by a shotgun? Don't tell me he was hit as prey?"

"The morphological characteristics of this wound... are from a rifled rifle." Jiang Yuan's Level 4 forensic pathology was complete. Therefore, although he hadn't seen many gunshot wounds before, he could still make a very accurate judgment.

And this time, Bureau Chief Chu and the others behind couldn't stand still.

"Rifled rifle means the kind of military rifle?" Tao Lu didn't know how to express it for a while.

Jiang Yuan said, "Some shotguns also have rifling, but no matter which kind, it is definitely prohibited for individuals to hold." ===== CHAPTER 709 =====
