Chapter 061 Daxing County Corpse Dismemberment Case (Part 2)
After sending Shen Dan to the charity cemetery outside the city to move the corpse, Sun Shaozong himself was not idle either. He immediately took his men to escort Hu the butcher back home.
After arriving at Hu the butcher's house, they first checked the ironware in his house, and then went to the back where the body was buried and searched it carefully.
The results can only be described as lackluster.
After all, five or six days have passed, and the bailiffs did not do a good job of protecting the scene. The burial site has received countless visitors, so it would be impossible to find any clues!
As for the hoe and shovel, although there were no signs of use, Sun Shaozong was not sure whether these inferior iron materials would develop new rust within a week.
Therefore, he could only return home in disappointment, taking Hu the butcher with him.
When I returned to the inner hall of Daxing County Yamen, I saw a bed in the middle as soon as I entered the door. Although it was covered tightly with a white sheet, it still emitted a faint foul smell.
Sun Shaozong didn't say a word, he stepped forward and pulled back the white sheet, immediately revealing the body parts lying all over the place. Plus the internal organs that had already begun to rot were spread out on top of the body parts in a mess, it was extremely horrifying to look at!
Then, in the inner hall, there was , followed by a series of retching sounds caused by the disgusting stench of the corpse.
"If you want to vomit, go out and vomit."
Sun Shaozong gave a faint order and his eyes first fell on the head of the person placed in the middle. He saw that most of the hair on the person's head had been burned off, and only a short piece .
Could it be that the murderer had planned to burn the body to destroy the evidence?
But if the body was burned to destroy all traces, how could only the hair be burned?
Full of doubts, Sun Shaozong turned his attention to the only relatively calm clerk at the scene: "Are you a coroner?"
The clerk bowed and greeted him: "I am Wang Gaosheng, the coroner of Daxing County. I am honored to meet you, Master Tongpan. "
"Stop talking nonsense, take out all your tools and examine the body with me again!"
The previous times Sun Shaozong examined corpses that had just died, so there was no need to prepare any protective measures. But this rotten corpse was different. There was no telling how many moldy bacteria were hidden on its body - he didn't want to die before he could accomplish his mission.
The coroner naturally did not dare to neglect hearing this, and hurriedly took out a full set of autopsy instruments, dressed up the two men like "butchers", and finally presented them with two pills, saying that as long as they were placed in the interlayer of the mask, they would be able to ward off evil spirits and avoid poison.
Although I still don't understand whether this thing has any scientific basis, but looking at Wang Gaosheng's confident look, it should have some effect to some extent.
After the corpse was dressed neatly, they used a bench to prop it up and lit more than 20 candlesticks around it. Wang Gaosheng then asked, "Sir, where should we start the investigation?"
"First check her fatal wound! I saw in your autopsy document that it only said that the victim was dismembered after death, but it did not mention where her fatal wound was!"
That's right~
It's 'she'.
The dead person who was chopped into pieces was a young woman, and judging by her facial features and some remaining physical characteristics, she should be a girl with an excellent appearance and figure!
Was it a murder of passion, or robbery for sex?
However, after Wang Gaosheng heard Sun Shaozong's instructions, he realized that his laziness had been seen through by this "divine judge", so he naturally did not dare to be negligent in the slightest. He followed Sun Shaozong's instructions and concentrated on searching for the fatal wound.
However, Sun Shaozong's search was much more thorough. If there was any suspicion, he would carefully consider and compare for a long time.
About half an hour passed like this. Wang Gaosheng looked up in confusion and said hesitantly, "Sir, it seems... it seems that the victim does not have any fatal injuries!"
Sun Shaozong continued to examine the body parts and asked without raising his head: "Besides that? What else did you see?"
“This…this…”
Wang Gaosheng racked his brains to recall: "The deceased... the deceased's back and chest all had obvious abrasions. Judging from the wounds, the skin and flesh were turned outward, so they must have been left behind before he died."
At this point, he became a little excited: "I know, the deceased must have been dragged on the ground before she died. It is very likely that someone wanted to move her to a secluded place and then rape and kill her!"
“A reasonable guess.”
Sun Shaozong nodded slightly and gave a five-word comment.
Wang Gaosheng was so happy when he heard this that he was about to say something humble, but then he heard Sun Shaozong say, "Unfortunately, the observation was not careful enough, so the whole speculation was off."
Not observing carefully enough?
Wang Gaosheng was somewhat dissatisfied in his heart, but he did not dare to say it out loud because of Sun Shaozong's status and reputation.
But how good is Sun Shaozong's vision?
Not to mention that he only covered his mouth and nose, even if he covered his entire face, Sun Shaozong could still see his resentment.
So he simply turned over the dead body's back and pointed at the marks on it and said, "There are indeed scratches on the front and back of the body, but if you look closely, you will find that these scratches are very messy, and - there are almost no straight-line scratches!"
There are almost no straight scratches?!
Wang Gaosheng hurriedly leaned forward to take a closer look, and found that the marks on the back were not only messy, but also lacked the most common straight-line scratches!
But the murderer is not a donkey pulling a millstone. Why would he drag the dead person around in circles when he is full? !
Just as he was puzzled, he heard Sun Shaozong say, "I looked carefully just now, and there were a lot of linen threads on the inside of the corpse's mouth, which shows that she had been blocked in the mouth by something like linen for a long time."
"In addition, the corpse spots are mostly concentrated on the front chest, and they are formed quite evenly, which shows that the victim has not been moved for several hours after death."
"Plus, I found more than one patch of eczema on her body. I can basically conclude that she was tied up with her limbs and imprisoned in a place without sunlight. And she was imprisoned for quite a long time. Otherwise, she wouldn't have so many eczemas on her body!"
"For some unknown reason, the murderer had not visited her for a long time. She was hungry and cold, so she twisted and struggled on the ground, perhaps to call for help, or perhaps to let the murderer hear her movements, leaving many messy scratches."
"But her struggle was doomed to be in vain, because the murderer never showed up."
"So, she could only slowly take her last breath in despair and hunger and cold."
"It was not until long after her death that the murderer arrived at the scene, cut her into pieces, and prepared to transport her away and bury her."
Everyone felt a little creepy by his bland and cold description.
Except for one person—Wang Gaosheng!
After Sun Shaozong finished his narration, Wang Gaosheng could not help but question, "Sir, your speculation seems to have overlooked the most important point, that is, there are no marks of strangulation on the limbs of the corpse! Since she struggled desperately before her death, how could there be no marks left?!"
Facing Wang Gaosheng's questioning, Sun Shaozong smiled slightly and said confidently: "This is the most clever thing about the murderer - he wiped out all the marks on his limbs!"
