Chapter 7 Constricted Marks
After get off work the next afternoon, Zhang Guozhong and Lao Liu drove to the door of the branch. Liu Dongsheng was already waiting at the door with his clutch in his arms. There was also a white-haired policeman standing beside him. He must be the famous forensic doctor in Liu Dongsheng's mouth.
If you ask someone to do something, you have to invite a decent restaurant. After picking up the person, Zhang Guozhong drove straight to the National Hotel. The forensic doctor Lao Chen was a little embarrassed. Isn’t it just to help check the autopsy report? Is it cost so much?
At the dinner table, several people first exchanged greetings. After Lao Liu briefly explained the clues of the case, he handed the copy of the autopsy report to Lao Chen. "Master Chen, according to my analysis and Guozhong, the death time of these two people should have been more than half a year when they were discovered. I hope you can help you see how this situation should be explained in your experience."
"There are obvious constrictions on the neck, the cornea is transparent, and the pupils are big..." After taking the autopsy report and reading a few words, Old Chen's brows immediately frowned, "Oh! The forensic doctor at that time...ah..."
"What's wrong?" Seeing Old Chen sighing, Liu Dongsheng also wondered, "The record is not detailed? Or is it a violation of regulations?"
"It's just inexperienced...it's just useless writing..." Old Chen shook his head.
"How do you say this?" Zhang Guozhong was puzzled. Old Chen didn't see the body, so how could he know that he was inexperienced?
"First of all, hang marks are a very general term. Whether they are strangled from behind by ropes or hung, there will be hang marks on their necks. However, the depth, angle, length, thickness and other characteristics of these two hang marks are very different! Generally, people who are strangled by hands are suffocating, but there are usually no obvious marks. Even if there are traces, it is completely different from the traces strangled by ropes. If there are obvious hang marks, then the deceased may have been strangled or hung by ropes!" Old Chen said helplessly, "Now the report only says there are obvious hang marks, and nothing else is said.
The cause of death cannot be determined! In addition, if the weapon is not a metal rope but a nylon rope, hemp rope or even a string rope, there will definitely be some debris in the wound. This is important for investigating the source of the weapon, thus determining the scope of the murderer's occupation or residence, and even determining the scope of the first crime scene, but this report does not mention it at all! Forensic doctors are afraid that such a vague report will likely lead the investigator into a dead end! If the death pattern of the deceased is to pinch each other's neck, according to the characteristics of the hang mark, the posture of the deceased killing each other may be forged!"
"I also have doubts about this..." Old Liu said, "Their children revealed to me that the couple are very sweet and cannot kill each other, but I didn't expect that this so-called "hanging mark" could have such great knowledge..."
"And... the report did not say whether there were any other wounds on the body, the fingers of the body were not checked, and there were no test results for body fluids and blood... All such important details were missed! Even if the family members did not agree to the dissection, wouldn't it be okay to collect some body fluids?" Old Chen said.
"Not written...it should mean that the body is normal, right?" Zhang Guozhong frowned.
"No!" Old Chen was determined, "If it was killed, there would be signs of fighting, and at least there should be signs of struggle. If their death place was in the mountains, the deceased's fingers would be constantly scratched when strangled, and there would be some scratches on his body. If the palms and fingers were intact and there were no scars on his body, it means that the deceased might die after being anesthetized or fainted, and may even be strangled after being poisoned and lost his ability to move. However, the report now has no details on the body surface, no test results, and it is written like prose, which is basically no difference from waste paper!"
"Do you think...the hanging mark is a fatal injury?" Old Liu asked.
"I can only say that it is very likely!" Old Chen said, "I didn't see what the hanging mark looks like, so I can't be sure!"
After Old Chen's words, Zhang Guozhong and Old Liu looked at each other for a long time without saying a word. Unexpectedly, they found an expert to ask a few questions and asked so many suspicious points. According to Old Chen's analysis, the hang marks on the neck of the Liao couple became the focus of the case. After this, Old Liu also wondered, if the so-called "hang marks" were really fatal injuries, it is very likely that the body would not be rotten but by chance.
The place of the corpse is just a yin pool. If they really meet a master like Wang Sizhao who knows how to set up formations, killing two people is just a matter of two knifes (Sun Ting almost lets Wang Sizhao kill with a gun), why do they have to strangle people to death? Besides, if everyone is killed, why do they have to set up formations to prevent the body from rotting, and even forge the scene? None of the documents on their bodies were touched, as if they were afraid that the police would not find out the identity of the deceased. Is there such a kind murderer in the world?
"I don't understand..." Liu Dongsheng, who had been silent at this time, spoke, "If the corpse has been in the mountains for half a year and the ants have bitten it, why is there nothing wrong?"
"Hehe, Brother Liu, there is a saying in the mountains that "Jiyin Pool" is like this. There are no ants and crawlers in the Juyin Pool..." Old Liu briefly explained the principle of Juyin Pool to Liu Dongsheng, and thus Liu Dongsheng began to remain silent again (to be precise, he was confused by listening).
"By the way, Master Chen, the difference between these two autopsy reports..."
"This..." Old Chen also frowned, "In fact, there are many problems in this world that cannot be explained by science. The female corpse unearthed from the Mawangdui Han Tomb, which had been in the Mawangdui Han Tomb, which had not rotted for more than two thousand years. Many scientists classified the reason as the anticorrosion effect of the liquid in the coffin and the good sealing of the tomb environment. But I don't think that human corpses will rot even if they are buried directly in the soil. Could it be that there will be more air in the soil than in the tomb? Even if human corpses are directly soaked in formalin solution, it will rot for two thousand years. Is there an anticorrosion liquid in ancient times better than formalin? The Mawangdui Han Tomb was buried only by a wife. If there were such good anticorrosion technology in ancient times, why did even the emperor not have the blessing to be saved, and a wife of an official used it? So I think... there should be another reason..." Old Chen is actually a person with good face. In order to find a way for himself, he would not hesitate to give all the examples of Mawangdui.
"After Guozhong, we can basically infer that this should be an ordinary murder. It's just a coincidence. Forensic Chen has narrowed our investigation scope to a very small extent..." Old Liu was quite good at speaking, "In a few days, as soon as we and Mr. Liao's classmates came to Gansu immediately and collected some evidence. If it was a normal murder, we would hand it over to the Public Security Bureau for handling. If it was an evil way, then we would give the murderer down and then hand it over to the Public Security Bureau for handling. Now we didn't see anything, and no matter how we guessed it, it would be useless..."
"By the way... this is what is in the body of the deceased in the cultural relics case and the talisman found on the spot. Look..." Liu Dongsheng took out a small paper bag from his handbag and handed it to Zhang Guozhong. It seemed that there were thick photos of a dozen.
After taking the photo, Zhang Guozhong frowned again, "What kind of fun is this..." I saw two patterns that he had never seen before were taken from various angles. The words on the patterns were confirmed to be vanished, but most of them were not recognized. There were several of them that knew them, and the content was that they were not right. In addition, there was a small plastic bag in the paper tape, which contained a small stone pillar of jade. The surface was carved densely, but I couldn't see what was carved.
"I have observed these words with a microscope, which is generally the same as the style taken in those photos..." Lao Chen said, "I have also drawn a few of them, and there are too many in those piles of photos. If they are all drawn, they will probably not be able to finish them yet... The comrades in the bureau have consulted historians, but they don't recognize them..."
After looking through a few photos, Zhang Guozhong saw the so-called slaughter text drawn by Lao Chen in front of the microscope. Although it was only a few short words, it was already certainly "Ghost Control Stump". "Senior Brother, look..." Zhang Guozhong handed the slaughter text drawn by Lao Liu to Lao Liu, "What does it mean to put this thing in a dead body?"
After taking the photo, Old Liu kept wondering, "I want to get a dead person to get a corpse, so why do I have to work so hard to make this..." When I met jade carving things, Old Liu was quite expert. The scriptures of the Soul-Induction Sutra are thousands of words. If they were engraved on such a large pillar, I would definitely have to find an artist who specializes in micro-carving. At that time, Zhao Kun was rich and the "ghost stake" that was built in the Liao family's ancestral home was more than twice as big as this one. The murderer didn't know what the origin was, and he could actually make such a small thing... "Brother Liu, an expert in micro-carving in China, you should check it..."
"I've checked it long ago..." Liu Dongsheng said, "It's okay if I don't check it, the worse the more I get, the bigger the head!"
"Why?" Zhang Guozhong was puzzled.
"There are few people in that industry in China! We visited several more famous ones, one of which is known as a master, and their works have been exhibited in the Forbidden City. One work can be sold for hundreds of thousands of yuan in foreigners. What do you think after seeing this thing?" Liu Dongsheng frowned like a bun, "He said he doesn't have this skill!"
"What does it mean?" Zhang Guozhong was also stunned.
"He gave us a look at his master's most proud work under a microscope. The size of the word is twice as big as this one! He said that it should be the highest level in the circle! It is no longer small! Although he himself does not rule out the possibility of a foreigner, where should we find this master?"
"Can I take this thing out and see?" Old Liu asked.
"certainly!"
He took out the little jade pillar, Lao Liu put on reading glasses and looked through it, and couldn't help but curl his mouth.
"What did you see?" Liu Dongsheng asked.
"Well...no. Brother Liu, can we bring these things back for research?"
"Well...yes, but it's better not to lose it. This case may have to be investigated..." Liu Dongsheng said...
On the way home, Old Liu kept sucking his teeth, "Guozhong..., I know what I doubted just now?"
"Did you see the trick?" Zhang Guozhong asked, "Why didn't you say it at that time?"
"I won't say it because I suspect the real purpose of the murderer is definitely more than just reselling cultural relics...!" Old Liu fell into deep thought, "I have to find an excuse to take this thing back temporarily and ask experts to help you... Because I suspect..."
"Expert? Who is it?" Zhang Guozhong was also puzzled, thinking that his senior brother still knew the micro-edge people?
"Who do you think I can find?" Old Liu's face was filled with a bad smile...
