Department of Psychology Forensic

Chapter 114 What Enmity, What Resentment!

After Zhou Zheng stepped into Room 201, he suddenly saw a body bag on the ground. The zipper was tightly zipped, but he could still smell some stench.

"You guys are well prepared, even brought the body bag." Zhou Zheng couldn't help joking.

This time he came in a hurry, coming directly from the school dormitory. Since he had just met Professor Fan before, he didn't have an exploration box in his hand.

If the criminal police did not bring the body bag, he would have to go back to get it, or wait for the master to come, otherwise the body would not be able to be moved out. The scene happened in an apartment building with so many residents, and the public should not be allowed to see the body, otherwise it would cause panic.

"Forensic Cui called to ask for it."

At this moment, a voice sounded behind him, and then a familiar face appeared in Zhou Zheng's sight. It was Zhao Lei from the criminal police team.

"Here!"

Zhao Lei raised his hand and picked up a locked box, which was the professional exploration box of their forensic department, and said with a smile, "I brought it here specially for you."

"Brother, thank you!" Zhou Zheng showed a smile on his face. With the exploration box, the corpse can be identified.

"This time the information on the source of the corpse is relatively clear. We all know the information about the deceased. The case should be solved easily!" Zhao Lei handed the box to Zhou Zheng and sighed softly. After he said what he said, he was not asking. More like self-soothing.

"I hope so." Zhou Zheng opened the box, took out a disposable mask and put it on, then put on the hat, picked up the body thermometer, walked towards the body bag, and directly opened the zipper of the body bag.

In an instant, a pungent stench emerged through the body bag and rushed directly to Zhou Zheng's face. The disgusting smell could be smelled even through the mask.

"The corpse is already showing signs of corruption."

Zhou Zheng wrinkled his nose. Now he doesn't have such a wealth of experience, so he can't even talk about adapting to this taste, so he can only resist and continue to test.

He touched the dead man's joints, and he could clearly feel that the dead body was stiff, but it wasn't that hard.

"The degree of rigor is not that great, but the smell of corpses is a bit strong."

Zhou Zheng muttered something silently. He patted the deceased's body lightly to make sure that there was nothing in the deceased's clothes pockets.

"really!"

In Zhou Zheng's sight, green color appeared on the abdomen of the deceased, forming a network of corrupt veins.

This is a late death change!

The blood in the blood vessels of the corpse is squeezed by the corrupt gas, and the subcutaneous veins are filled with corrupt blood, which makes the body surface appear dark red or dirty green dendritic vein network. This phenomenon is the corrupt vein network.

After Zhou Zheng saw the corrupt vein network, he had already determined in his heart that the death time of the deceased was at least one day.

This is also the reason why he didn't make a judgment immediately after feeling the stiffness.

The main problem is the smell of corpses!

A corpse can produce such a strong corpse odor, at least the time of death is more than 12 hours.

However, the deceased's rigor was not strong.

This proves that the rigor in the deceased was not a period of formation, but a period of remission.

Rigidity begins 1 to 3 hours after the death of the corpse, and will first appear in some small muscle groups, and develop to the whole body in 4 to 6 hours, which is the formative period.

12 to 15 hours after death, rigor rigor will reach its peak, and the joints of the whole body are very hard, as if they are being tensed very hard.

24 to 48 hours after death, rigor rigor begins to slowly ease, which is the remission period.

To some extent, it is difficult to clearly judge the rigor in the formative period and the rigor in the remission period. It is necessary to observe whether the corpse has other late death phenomena, such as green corpse, corrupt vein network, giant view, etc.

As long as there is a late death phenomenon, it can be judged that the death time of the deceased is more than 24 hours, then the not so hard rigor has entered the remission period.

The remission period of rigor rigor is very long, and it will be completely relieved within 3 to 7 days. This is mainly related to the weather. The higher the temperature, the faster the remission. The drier the environment, the faster the remission.

"Since the time of death is more than one day, there is no need to measure the rectal temperature."

Zhou Zheng put the thermometer back into the inspection box. The rectal temperature measurement was mainly based on the principle of cold corpses in early death changes.

At room temperature in spring and autumn, the temperature of the dead body decreases by an average of 10 degree per hour within 1 hours of death, and then drops by an average of 0.5 degrees per hour until the temperature drops to the same level as the environment, which generally takes 24 hours.

Therefore, rectal temperature is meaningless when examining cadavers that have been dead for more than 24 hours.

"What can be confirmed now is that the time of death is more than one day. The specific time of death can only be obtained after an autopsy." Zhou Zheng muttered softly: "Check to see if there is any damage on the surface of the corpse."

After all, now is not the time for an autopsy. The on-site inspection is mainly an inspection of the scene. For the corpse, it is just a rough time of death that can be judged by the criminal police, as well as some very obvious injuries.

Zhou Zheng looked towards the face of the deceased, and the first thing he saw was the dark red palm print on the neck.

"The deceased had choke marks on his neck and had a life response. The cause of death was likely to be mechanical suffocation caused by choking, that is, he was strangled to death."

While Zhou Zheng was speaking, he immediately looked towards the dead man's hands, stared at the dead man's nails, frowned, and murmured: "Strange..."

"Brother Zhou, is there any doubt?" Zhao Lei asked curiously.

"Look." Zhou Zheng lifted the dead man's hand upwards. Since the rigor stiffness had not been completely relieved, the joints were still slightly stiff, which made the dead man's movements seem uncoordinated. He exposed the dead man's hand to Zhao Lei's sight and said: "The nails of the deceased were not short, and there was still mud inside. It can be determined that there were no traces of cleaning, but there were also no traces of blood or scratching."

"Brother Zhou, do you want to say that there was no fight?" Zhao Lei was confused.

"More than that." Zhou Zheng shook his head and said, "Strangling is an anti-human way of death. When human beings are choked and have difficulty breathing, their bodies will instinctively struggle. This is unavoidable for anyone. The deceased had such long nails, but there was no trace of scratching, and there was mud in the nails but no skin flakes, which shows that the deceased was strangled to death without any resistance, which is unreasonable!"

"Is it possible that the deceased was controlled?" Zhao Lei thought.

"I didn't see any restraint injuries." Zhou Zheng shook his head again and said, "If the deceased was restrained, his wrists would have struggled violently when he was strangled to death. There should be strangle marks on his wrists, but nothing No."

"I don't understand that..." Zhao Lei smiled wryly. The issues here were too professional to give him any constructive advice.

"There is only one possibility I can think of." Zhou Zheng said with a gloomy face: "The deceased was in an unconscious state when he was killed. He should be in a coma."

"You mean drugs?" Zhao Lei's train of thought came online instantly, following Zhou Zheng's words.

"Yes, it should be because I have taken sleeping pills or anesthetics. Specifically, we need to go back to the autopsy and conduct toxicological tests on the slices of internal organs, and then draw an accurate conclusion." Zhou Zheng pursed his lips and said: " In fact, I don't understand a little bit. The murderer has already decided to kill and has the conditions for poisoning, but he first stuns the deceased, and then kills the deceased when he has no resistance. Isn't this taking off his pants and farting! "

"What you said makes sense!" Zhao Lei was stunned for a moment, and after careful consideration, he felt that this was the reason.

Poisoning itself is not an easy task, and the slightest carelessness will be noticed.

However, the murderer was clearly ready to inject poison, which meant that the murderer had a close relationship with the deceased, but he administered anesthesia and then strangled the deceased to death. What was he trying to do?

Is it a ritual?

Wrong!
This behavior seems to have nothing to do with the sense of ritual!

Zhou Zheng shook his head, discarded the distracting thoughts in his mind, and continued to examine the head of the deceased. His gaze fell on the face, and instantly fixed on the corner of the mouth.

The lips of the deceased had become pale and bloodless, but fresh blood stains could be vaguely seen at the corners of the mouth, judging from the degree of coagulation, it had been flowing out for a while.

What happened to the dead man's mouth?
Such a big question mark popped up in Zhou Zheng's head. He stretched out his right hand and pressed towards the deceased's cheek. Since the rigors had not been completely relieved, it was not so easy to open the deceased's mouth.

At this moment, Zhou Zheng was like a shark smelling blood in the water, all his attention was fixed on the mouth of the deceased, and he slowly opened it bit by bit.

"Crackling~"

The dead man's hook made a crisp sound of bones rubbing against each other, and then the rigor of the jaw was broken by Zhou Zheng. When he opened the dead man's mouth, he immediately saw a bloody scene.

"hiss……"

When Zhou Zheng saw such a scene, he couldn't help taking a deep breath, but he didn't take in the cool air, instead he inhaled a lot of bloody and corrupt stench.

That's horrible!
It's so miserable!

Zhou Zheng stared at the mouth of the deceased. There was not a single tooth in the mouth, and all the teeth had been pulled out violently.

The gums that have been pulled out are like deep pits on the surface of the moon, but they are connected in a curved arc, which looks like the Great Wall with pits and holes.

As soon as he thought of this, he felt that such an analogy was inappropriate. The Great Wall was relatively neat, and the mouth of the deceased, due to the redness and swelling after the teeth were pulled out, seemed to be swollen overall, more like being in water. Boiled beans for a while.

"What kind of resentment, what kind of resentment!"

The corner of Zhou Zheng's mouth twitched fiercely. At this moment, he suddenly realized that the case might not be as simple as he thought.

The murderer had the ability and opportunity to poison the deceased, so he could have directly poisoned the deceased, but he did not do so. Instead, he chose to stun the deceased, and then pulled out all the teeth of the deceased.

Judging from the lack of struggle on the deceased's body, the deceased did not encounter too horrific violence during his lifetime, that is to say, even with such pain, he still did not wake him up.

This is... narcotics!

If it is an ordinary sleeping medicine, if you want to achieve such an effect, you must take a small dose, but if you do not go to gastric lavage in time for rescue after reaching that dose, the person will simply die, and there is no need to kill someone.

and so……

The murderer was torturing the dead? !

Zhou Zheng was thinking quickly in his mind, and many thoughts flashed through his mind, but no matter which one, there seemed to be something wrong.

unreasonable!
Unreasonable everywhere!
The murderer has no reason to do that!

If the murderer wanted to torture the deceased, there was no need to do it after the anesthetic took effect. In this situation, even if all the teeth had been pulled out, the deceased would not feel any pain at all.

This is very contradictory!
Zhou Zheng felt that this was a criminal case with complicated motives. At least from the existing information, he could conclude a few points.

The first point is that the murderer entered the scene directly and did not conflict with the deceased. This is a typical crime committed by an acquaintance.

The second point is that the case looks like a vendetta.

The third point is that the deceased had not been abused, it was just that the corpse was in a poor state.

In addition, Zhou Zheng still had a big doubt in his heart, that is why the murderer pulled out all the teeth of the deceased.

"Zhao Lei, did you find any teeth at the scene?" Zhou Zheng asked suddenly.

"No." Zhao Lei shook his head resolutely, and said, "If teeth are found, the trace inspector will tell."

"That is to say, the deceased's teeth were taken away by the murderer. What is the purpose of doing this?" Zhou Zheng raised his hand to rub his forehead, but he saw the pair of clothes on his hand that had just touched the corpse. After removing the gloves, his movements hovered in mid-air, and he did not continue.

"That's right, isn't this idle!" Zhao Lei nodded again and again, and said, "Generally speaking, after a murder, the murderer wants to leave the scene of the crime as quickly as possible, but the murderer actually left behind for the deceased to pull out his teeth. What is this?" Special fetish!"

"Is there any clue on the teeth that can point out the identity of the murderer?" Zhou Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly, and his brain began to think quickly.

When can teeth have clues?

It is nothing more than the degree of wear and tear, or the traces of receiving medical treatment. However, the identity of the deceased is obvious, and there is no need to retrieve medical records to confirm it.

There must be a reason for everything!
The more Zhou Zheng thought about it, the more strange he felt, and he couldn't figure out how to interpret it.

"Brother Zhou, did you think of anything?" Zhao Lei saw that Zhou Zheng fell silent, and after waiting for a while, he still couldn't help interrupting.

"No……"

Zhou Zheng shook his head, his face still had that expression of thought, if he didn't think about this kind of thing clearly, there would be a feeling that he might have overlooked the details.

"Zhao Lei, help me transport the corpse back to the forensic center, I want to conduct an autopsy on the corpse!"

Zhou Zheng's eyes flickered with determination. He understood that at such a time, it was useless to just judge based on the appearance of the body, and more evidence was needed to see what the deceased had encountered before his death.
