Chapter 625 The clue in the photo 1
However, any forensic doctor, especially anthropological forensic doctor, would rather deal with bones that have been cut into pieces than deal with the broken bones that have been burned by fire and destroyed by man.Back then, Lu Beichen once cracked a bone-crushing case in the United States. The criminal’s method of committing the crime was extremely cruel. In the third case where the human bone was cut into tens of thousands of pieces, the FBI couldn't bear it anymore, and the FBI personally asked Lu Beichen for assistance.At that time, Lu Beichen's count was clear, and the total number of broken bones was 570. If it hadn't been kept secret, it would have been the most shocking case of broken bones in California.

Once the fire at Mount Sinai is proved to be man-made and the two victims died of homicide, then in terms of modus operandi, it will be far less complicated than the bone-crushing case, but in terms of the difficulty of handling the bones, this case is indeed in Challenge the limits of forensic anthropology.

There are not many evidences at the scene, the bones can be burned to ashes, let alone the clothes, documents, bags and other items that can prove the identity of the victims. What can be collected is a half-burned one yuan The kind of lighter, the incense burner with only half of its metal legs left, and the trekking poles 5 miles away.The crime scene was in a cave. The police officers gave a detailed description of the scene and took many photos of the crime scene.Judging from the photos, the two skeletons are one in front of the other. One skeleton is lying on the ground, and the other is hugging the body and approaching the entrance of the cave. About two meters away from the bones, there was a burning object about 1m long, and the police initially suspected it was another trekking pole.

This is a simple crime scene that couldn't be simpler and cleaner. Apart from a large number of fire-burned branches, there are also a large number of broken bones. Although such branches were disfigured by the fire, they are not difficult to find. I identified it as a red pine tree, and there is also a centuries-old red pine outside the cave. According to the data given by the data, the red pine outside the cave entrance cannot be hugged by three people, which shows that the red pine is strong.

The photos that Lu Beichen got at this moment were basically from the scene of the crime, that is, the situation inside the cave. Only a few scattered photos were taken by the red pine at the entrance of the cave. Broke, indicating that it was also burned. Of course, this is only his preliminary judgment.

This seems to be an absurd and quite speechless case. It may be that even Director Xu knows that once Lu Beichen accepts this case, their bureau owes him a huge favor, so after he passes the existing While sorting out the physical evidence, he knocked on the door of the autopsy room again and again, asking what help he needed.After repeating this situation three times, Lu Beichen became displeased, and said bluntly, "I'm at work."

Xu Ju lost face at the time, and stood there in embarrassment, so Luo Chi came in handy at this time, entertaining Xu Ju, apologizing for a smile and a cigarette, "He's like that as soon as he starts working, who bothers him?" Who is he in a hurry with, Xu Ju, he didn't mean to target you, don't get me wrong."

Just kidding, he, Lu Beichen, is outside the system, a man of idle clouds and wild cranes. If he is unhappy, he will take the laboratory to move as a whole. He can't do it, Luo Chi. Although he is suspended from his job by his superiors for observation, he has to be realistic in the system, Xu No matter what the bureau says, he has a higher position than him, so how dare he offend him.

Xu Ju also found a step down for himself, and smiled, "Anyone who is capable or different has a personality, but it's also my fault, maybe I was too impatient."

"Professor Lu is not used to him at the beginning. It's not just you, Xu Ju. When I first met him, I also thought he was awkward, but I have to admit his professional ability."

Xu Ju nodded with a smile, "Xiao Luo, I also understand your situation, work hard."

After Luo Chi sent Xu Ju away, he wiped the sweat from his brow. He thought it would be OK for him to follow Lu Beichen silently, but in fact Xu Ju had already clearly understood his identity quietly.After he came in, he mentioned this matter to Lu Beichen. Lu Beichen was not surprised when he heard the words, and said casually, "It's normal, he attaches so much importance to this case, he will definitely check the background of every person involved. "

"You also know that if he is nervous about this case, you can't give him a good face?" Luo Chi earnestly said, "After all, the title is there, can you give him some face?"

"I will only give identification and evidence, and you can do things like saving face." Lu Beichen was still sorting out the information, methodically, but he added a sentence very choked, "Otherwise, what are you doing pulling you in?"

Luo Chi almost vomited blood in anger.

Then, the culprit slowly changed the subject, "The fuel for the cave is red pine wood. This kind of pine wood has excellent oiliness and is extremely flammable. Let me tell you more clearly, once this kind of red pine wood rots and is buried underground for a long time, it will leave An essence with extremely high oil and a mellow turpentine fragrance, this essence is called pine, and people in the past would use pine to make fire."

Luo Chi suddenly realized.

According to the data, the wind on the mountain was very strong on the day of the incident, which was also an important reason for the spread of the fire.The red pine at the entrance of the cave is very luxuriant, and the thick trunks block a large area of ​​the cave entrance, leaving only a gap for one person to enter and exit. Therefore, when the fire broke out, the fire blocked the entrance of the cave, preventing people inside from getting out.On the face of it it seems so, but in reality?

"I have always been skeptical that I could be burned to death in a cave." Luo Chi said his opinion, "And, judging from the lighters left at the scene, even if the sparks left by the victim caused the fire , Then didn’t they notice it when the flames first started? Even if the fire inside the cave is big, then they can just run out of the cave. It’s impossible for the inside and outside of the cave to catch fire at the same time, right? There has to be a sequence.”

"Whether the victim was smoking at the time remains to be investigated. Unless tobacco substances can be found in these ashes, there is no way to prove that the victim was smoking at the time." Lu Beichen is very rigorous.

"It's not the source of the fire caused by smoking. What could it be? The victim can't be all right to light the fire with a lighter, right?"

Lu Beichen took out half of the incense burner leg, "I guess there should be an altar in the cave, but the altar was burned clean by a big fire. If the victim didn't come to light cigarettes with a lighter, then he must have lit incense. If If it is the latter, then the victims’ death is in line with the Xizhai people’s statement that they were punished to death by the mountain ghosts. The cave is a place to worship the mountain ghosts. They broke in accidentally, and the mountain ghosts were angry and fell The fire burned them to death, otherwise, how could they have been burned to death in the cave? This is like finding a drowned person in the desert, and many people will naturally think that he has offended the gods."

"You don't believe that there is a mountain ghost who punishes others, right?" Luo Chi thought it was funny.

Lu Beichen stared at one of the photos, then said, "No, I'm pretty sure it was a deliberate murder."

Luo Chi looked at him in surprise, "Can you come to a conclusion so quickly?" Then he leaned forward, "How did you know that?"

Lu Beichen handed the photo in his hand to Luo Chi, and Luo Chi took a look. It was a photo of a cave, with ruins everywhere, and two skeletons lying there one after the other. He knew that this photo must be It explained the problem, otherwise Lu Beichen would not have seen through it straight to the point, but he tried hard to find the flaw but to no avail, he smiled, "I didn't see it."

"If you can see it, then it's not difficult to do anthropology forensic medicine." Lu Beichen took the photo and choked him.

"Give me some hints." Luo Chi asked shamelessly.

However, Lu Beichen didn't have the time to Baidu Encyclopedia with him, and he didn't have the patience to dedicate his love to him. He put the photo in his hand into the information bag, looked at him and said, "Three tasks, the first task, you need to contact the institute. Reflecting the most basic inspection equipment I need, I am not good enough to solve the case with bare hands; the second task is that you need to contact the context as soon as possible, and I need to send two people to come with me for the on-site and later laboratory investigation work; The third task is that no matter what method you use, I need to go to the scene."

"In other words, my role is actually to engage in external relations, right?" Luo Chi looked at him very seriously.

Lu Beichen smiled, "This seems to be the most effective way for you to get in touch with the case. Officer Luo, don't forget that you are currently suspended for inspection. It is impossible to get in touch with the case as a police officer."

Luo Chi rolled his eyes, "You are the only one who likes to meddle in other people's business."

"You can actually pick yourself out."

"Aren't I worried about your safety?" Luo Chi snorted coldly, "There is no reward for kindness, right?"

"Whether I'm really worried about me or whether I'm concerned about the case remains to be discussed."

He believes that even if he does not participate, Luo Chi will not turn a blind eye to this matter. The most likely situation is that Luo Chi will send him away, and then return to Gongxi to try his best to understand this case. After all, this case involves The colleagues of Ling Shuang Magazine can be regarded as having a little relationship with Shanghai.
