Chapter 1038 Five Fingers
Jiang Yuan took the fingerprints and started marking them for comparison.
At the same time, Miao Ruixiang, who was serving as an assistant, fell into deep thought as he looked at a pot of used oil and half a bucket of golden arowana left.
The oil used to fry only one finger actually looks quite clean, with only a little white foam left on the edge of the pot. If you rinse it off... there will be no problem frying a hundred or so more fingers.
"Brother, have you poured out the remaining oil?" Miao Ruixiang asked uncertainly.
Jiang Yuan, who was comparing fingerprints, was stunned by the question: "What else? Do you want to take it back?"
"No, no, this is not a rabbit." Miao Ruixiang shook his head quickly: "I was thinking, what if you want to blow up other fingers or toes later..."
"Just fall down. There aren't enough fingers to blow up. The toes are not necessary either." Jiang Yuan waved his hand.
Fried fingers are not a very unpopular fingerprint technique. If you think about it, you can do it as usual with a strong LV2 technique. If there are any restrictions, it is that there are requirements for the condition of the fingers. Fingers with intact dermis need to be fried, and fingers with severe damage to the epidermis need to be fried.
Of the ten fingers on the body on the dissection table, only one meets this condition. However, forensic doctors have invented different ways to deal with fingers at different time periods. For example, fingerprints with a lower degree of decay can be taken from the epidermis gloves, and those with a lower degree of decay can be taken by injection, etc.
All in all, forensic scientists have spent a lot of effort over hundreds of years on the project of human corpses.
Miao Ruixiang took great effort to pour out the remaining oil in the pot, then took a rag and detergent and began to scrub the pot resignedly.
Logically speaking, the oil pan that fried a finger does not need to be cleaned at all, but if it is not washed, Miao Ruixiang really cannot stand the suspicious smell emitted by this thing.
Jiang Yuan sat in front of the computer for a long time.
The fingerprint comparison never produced any results.
Based on Jiang Yuan’s current level of fingerprint identification, it can be assumed that the fingerprint is not in the database.
"Keep this finger safe and preserve it intact." Jiang Yuan specifically reminded Miao Ruixiang, and then began further autopsy.
The body was severely decomposed and the head was gone, so it was basically meaningless to examine the body externally. The key was to obtain some physical evidence or biological samples, such as water plants, fishing lines, fish hooks, fishing floats, and hemp ropes wrapped around the body. In addition, any remaining parasites or metabolites had to be removed one by one.
These were all very detailed tasks. Not only did the three forensic doctors, Jiang Yuan, Miao Ruixiang and Wu Jun, work on their hands and knees, but the criminal police who came to check on the situation were also pulled over to help in order to speed up the progress.
After working like this for nearly an hour, Jiang Yuan said again: "Rui Xiang, boil some water."
"Ah? Oh, yes!" Miao Ruixiang didn't react for a moment. He turned around and realized that it was time to remove the bones.
The best way to remove bones from a corpse is to boil them in water. The bones removed in this way are white and clean, much better than those removed with a knife.
Ningtai County Criminal Police Detachment bought professional pressure cookers, water baths and other appliances a long time ago. The pressure cooker needs to be disassembled, which saves time. The water bath is a stainless steel pot similar to a wooden barrel bath, with a plug-in heating function, which can handle a whole body at a time, but it needs to heat a whole bucket of water, which is labor-saving and time-consuming.
Jiang Yuan was not in a hurry, so he asked Miao Ruixiang to prepare a water bath to put the body in, and then said to Wu Jun: "Master, shall we take a break first? Wait for some time?"
It takes a long time to boil water and then remove the bones. Take Haidilao's hot pot as an example. The normal pot is about 10 liters. If you want to cook for one person, you need at least a dozen pots. The electric heating capacity of the water bath pot is not much stronger than that of the hot pot.
Wu Jun said "yes", and before leaving, he glanced at the remaining golden arowana in front of him and said to Miao Ruixiang: "You can add some oil to the pot when you cook it, so that the pot does not overflow."
"Oh." Miao Ruixiang felt that he had learned something, but it was also useless knowledge.
Wu Jun lit a stick of agarwood in the office.
Jiang Yuan studied the fingerprints for a while, but found nothing. He then studied the on-site video of the discovery of the body.
Neither of them was in a hurry. For this type of case, the key was to determine the identity of the body. If this could not be done, solving the case would depend somewhat on luck.
"Wang Lan is here." Wu Jun answered a phone call and put down the Guan Gong in his hand.
"Wang, the forensic doctor? Are you here to provide support?" Jiang Yuan was a little surprised. The forensic doctors at Ningtai County Bureau were very strong, so they didn't need support from the Municipal Bureau. Wang Lan and the others were actually very busy with their daily work. With so many counties and districts in Qinghe City, they basically had to travel every month.
"From her tone, it doesn't seem like it." Wu Jun said, and got up and went downstairs to greet her.
Wang Lan was wearing a uniform, and his thin body looked so light that it looked like a head was floating with the uniform in its hand.
Entering Building 9, Wang Lan first looked at them with envy, but before he could chat, he said to Jiang Yuan and Wu Jun, "We found several fingers here."
"Fingerprint?" Wu Jun corrected.
Wang Lan shook her head and took out a large lunch box from her bag.
Open the lunch box, take out the ice pack inside, and what you take out is a bag of fingers.
"Five fingers, no signs of life." Wang Lan said, handing the fingers to Jiang Yuan, and said, "Found it on the roadside in Qianjin District, seen by a dog walker."
Life reactions refer to reactions that only living things can have, such as bleeding, infarction, edema, thrombosis, etc. If there are no life reactions, it means that the finger was cut off after death.
So, five fingers without any signs of life meant there was a dead body behind it, or at least a severed arm.
"The finger is still fresh." Jiang Yuan quickly looked at the finger, stood up and said: "Let's go to the autopsy room and take fingerprints."
The three of them then returned to the autopsy room together.
Ding.
As the elevator door opened, a strong smell of cooking meat wafted out.
The three of them kept silent with cold faces. In the forensic field, it is best not to be greedy.
When the door of the dissection room was opened, Miao Ruixiang was seen standing on a stool wearing a white mask and a white hat, holding a large iron spoon and stirring vigorously in the water bath.
The hot steam hit Miao Ruixiang's face directly, making his face red.
"Is it cooked?" Wu Jun asked as soon as he entered the door.
"It's almost done. Almost done." Miao Ruixiang said hurriedly, "Do you want to take one first and see?"
"Don't bother. It's uncomfortable to rub the meat off the bones. Let's cook it until the bones fall off." Jiang Yuan was not in a hurry. He found another table and spread out the space, and began to study the five fingers that Wang Lan brought in the lunch box.
