Chapter 1229: The Garbage Dump
"I'll take a nap." Jiang Yuan fastened his seat belt as soon as he got in the car, and then closed his eyes to rest.
He slept too little last night, and on-site investigation is a very brain-intensive task. The most important thing is that the sharpness of the brain directly determines the effectiveness of the investigation.
After a journey of several kilometers, Jiang Yuan forced himself to sleep for a few minutes. When he opened his eyes again, he saw a messy garbage dump in front of him.
When he opened the door, the smell as thick as Japanese ramen and as rotten as canned Swedish herring rushed into Jiang Yuan's nostrils.
Jiang Yuan sighed lightly, got out of the car to take a look, and then frowned.
This is a garbage transfer station that is as big as three or four basketball courts. It is surrounded by blue iron fences, and in the middle is a flat hardened ground. A dirt road runs through the middle, and the garbage piled on both sides is more than ten meters long, six or seven meters wide, and more than one meter high.
It can be seen that the garbage piled outside is relatively loose, belonging to the new piles that are cleaned frequently, mainly vegetables and fruits and other household garbage, branches and leaves and other green garbage. The deeper you go, the harder the piles become, with plastics and solid objects of various unknown materials, as well as hollow bricks, cement blocks and other construction waste... The green mesh covers the garbage in the back half, probably to prevent flies, which makes it look even dirtier.
At this time, the area near the green mesh cloth was surrounded by a yellow isolation tape, separated by more than one meter of undulating garbage. It was obviously where the body was, but it could not be seen if you stood on the road.
A bulldozer and two garbage trucks were parked next to the garbage dump and had stopped working. Several sanitation workers were sitting at the door smoking and taking statements.
Shen Yaowei trotted over, wearing a mask and shoe covers, all dirty, and came to Jiang Yuan, emitting a foul smell. He said, "Captain Jiang, the body is in here. It's hard to tell what it is, and it's hard to tell whether it's a man or a woman."
It may have been eight or nine days since the victim disappeared. In an environment like a garbage dump, it is normal that his appearance cannot be seen.
Jiang Yuan had expected this, and he sighed again, saying, "Do you have any personal belongings or clothes?"
"She was wearing a pair of jeans, and I couldn't tell the brand. Her upper clothes were rotten, and there was still some fiber on the back, but I didn't dare turn it over. Her shoes were gone. The victim, Yan Meixuan, was wearing a pair of Crocs, jeans, and a T-shirt jacket that day, so if you take all the facts together, it basically fits the description." Shen Yaowei gave a brief description.
"I still didn't survive." Liu Jinghui said from behind, and then whispered: "It would be refreshing to die."
Shen Yaowei didn't know whether he heard it or not, but he pretended not to hear it and continued, "This garbage transfer site was built last year. It was initially said to be temporary, but it has never been cancelled. Many residents in the surrounding area have complained. Currently, a sanitation company brings in garbage sporadically during the day, and in the early morning, the district sanitation company has 11 garbage trucks that come and take away the garbage."
"Send someone to the sanitation company. Make sure they have a good list of personnel. All personnel must confirm their identities and are not allowed to leave." Jiang Yuan gave the order skillfully.
Since it is a temporary garbage transfer site and has metal fences, it operates relatively independently. In this case, the sanitation company that transports the garbage and the sanitation unit that transfers the garbage are more likely to be suspected.
He gave the order to Wang Chuanxing who was standing next to him. The latter immediately responded and started making a call on his cell phone.
"Let's go in." Jiang Yuan called Liu Jinghui again, and the two went back to the back of the car to change their equipment.
Huang Qiangmin specially purchased a full set of personal protective equipment for forensic scientists. Jiang Yuan now carries several sets with him in the car, with different levels of protection. For a simple investigation of an indoor theft case, the most basic three sets of personal protective equipment, including a hood, gloves, and a mask, can be used.
The pollution level of the decayed corpses in the garbage dump had reached its peak, and Jiang Yuan also took out the top-of-the-line personal protective equipment.
The mask was replaced with a 3M6800 full-face respirator, which has a circle of black rubber sealing ring and two round gas filter boxes at the bottom. The face mask is made of transparent silicone that covers the entire face and can filter out toxic gases, dust and bioaerosols.
As long as you put this on, people will instantly think of words like biochemical warrior.
The gloves are Ansell's cut-resistant nitrile material, but the palms and fingertips are covered with a gray high-density polyethylene layer, which can prevent scratches from sharp objects while maintaining tactile sensitivity. They are generally used during dissection, but Jiang Yuan did not use them so meticulously.
In addition, DuPont's protective clothing and Honeywell's shoe covers are both disposable, and the appearance of these two items is the most obvious.
The protective suit is similar to the Baymax suit, which many people are already very familiar with. Honeywell's shoe covers are even more luxurious. Ordinary shoe covers are just a plastic bag, and many people are often reluctant to throw them away. The liquid-proof one used by Jiang Yuan can prevent the seepage from the garbage dump from entering the feet, but in the eyes of many units, it is more suitable to use a pair of worn-out shoes and an extra pair of worn-out shoe covers to solve the problem.
Liu Jinghui got a full set of equipment, but the others around him did not have such good treatment. Most of them were lucky to have three sets and a mask.
Jiang Yuan climbed over the garbage that was more than one meter high, walked a few meters inside, and saw the corpse lying on its back.
The corpse was directly exposed to the air and sunlight, and the remaining skin had dried and hardened into a dark brown-black color. It was taut, as if the skin had been peeled off and made into leather, a typical leather-like feature.
If the skin had become leathery and made people feel sorry for the creature, then the rest of the corpse looked even less human.
The ear was already broken, perhaps bitten by a mouse or pecked by a bird like a crow.
The eye sockets are similar, hollowed out by other animals or maggots, forming the so-called tissue cavitation, and the mouth and nose are naturally not spared.
The remaining skin on the face has been preserved because of its leathery appearance, but it is not pretty. The skin in this part has shrunk due to dehydration, and the bone contour is obvious, but this description seems to meet the needs of some medical aesthetics. However, if any medical aesthetics institution dares to post a similar picture, it will probably scare away 98% of the customers.
Looking further down, the neck was pressed against one side of the garbage. There were fine cracks on the leathery skin surface, and a dark green network of decayed veins could be seen. The other side had been gnawed by rats and then decayed, and the exposed neck bone looked like a duck neck that had not been eaten cleanly.
The clothes on her chest had been rotted into rags, and her original appearance could not be seen for a moment. The exposed chest was in a similar state to her head, with a depression in the middle and the rest of the body either eaten away or dried and hardened to a dark brown. The only remaining nipple shrunk into a black lump, like a blackcurrant raisin.
However, the leatheriness of the abdomen has been reduced, showing signs of partial corruption. There is dark green under the remaining skin, and there are corrupt blisters on the surface, oozing yellow-brown liquid. The muscles on the waist side exposed by biting are jagged.
In summary, the leather-like appearance is so ugly that it is difficult for humans to control themselves, but it makes people feel more relaxed than the view of giants.
Jiang Yuan quickly looked from top to bottom, then looked at Liu Jinghui next to him and said, "Female, the age is right, the time of death is right... The specific time of death must be determined based on the insects. That... Shen Yaowei, Miao Ruixiang, Wei Shijian, the rest of you come over and help catch the insects."
As he spoke, Jiang Yuan activated the "temporary +1" skill for "Crime Scene Investigation (LV5)".
For forensic doctors, there are two most important tasks now: one is the investigation of the crime scene, and the other is the determination of the time of death. In the case of having to choose one of the two, Jiang Yuan chose to postpone the determination of the time of death.
It is very difficult to directly judge the body of a corpse that has been dead for more than a week, so auxiliary insects are the most suitable for judgment. It is just right to do crime scene investigation first, and then use it to judge the time of death after the skill CD is turned on.
Jiang Yuan had made the decision long ago. After calling a few experienced people to catch the bugs, he first performed a basic surface examination on the corpse to avoid losing some possible evidence if it was moved.
Wei Shijian also came over wearing a full-body protective suit like Jiang Yuan.
Miao Ruixiang and Shen Yaowei did not dare to use the "forensic supplies" prepared by Huang Qiangmin, and they just wore a few more layers of gloves and foot covers when they came.
Although Miao Ruixiang is a forensic doctor, he knows that when Huang Qiangmin said "forensic doctor only" that day, he just forgot his existence. If he dared to use it, Huang Qiangmin might remember him until he retires.
hum...
As the three began to move, various sounds of wings and buzzing began to be heard around them. Those were the sounds made by necrophilous insects that were originally enjoying their lives quietly, after being disturbed.
In addition to the flies that Jiang Yuan was very familiar with because of his LV6 fly identification, there were also insects of the burying beetle family that liked to appear in the middle and late stages of corruption, insects of the Yanbeetle family that liked to prey on maggots, and insects of the dermestidae family that often only appeared in the dry corpse stage. They also appeared this time. This is a common type of pest in home life. They like to drill into wardrobes and bookcases, and they prefer homes with minks, fur, and fur.
Jiang Yuan took a quick glance and saw that Miao Ruixiang and the others were operating in a standard manner, so he turned around and began to direct Mu Zhiyang to help him gently turn the body over and examine it carefully.
After a while, Tao Lu also arrived at the scene in a police car.
"What do you say?" Tao Lu asked for the conclusion as soon as they met.
Jiang Yuan said: "He was stabbed in the chest. The cause of death is still unclear."
"Was there a lot of blood loss? Was there any sexual assault?" Tao Lu asked the key point in one sentence.
This place is only a few kilometers away from where the victim disappeared. If there was a large amount of blood loss, then looking for bloodstains could be a breakthrough in solving the case.
On the other hand, whether sexual assault occurred can be used to speculate on the murderer's motive and will greatly affect the direction of the case.
Jiang Yuan was unable to give a clear answer, and only said: "I just looked at the body surface. I have to go back to the autopsy room before I can do further examination."
