MTL - Mystery Hunter-Chapter 39 Anatomy of a human head

Jiang Hecai denied Wang Chao's criminal investigation ability in front of so many leaders, but at the next moment he proposed a legal doctor candidate. It seems that Jiang He really knows nothing about the world, but in Shao Lao's opinion, this is actually the most important criminal investigator. One of the qualities that needs to be possessed is to seek truth from facts, not to exaggerate or belittle.

Only with such a state of mind can we find the truth without outside interference.

"Who?" Shao Lao asked.

Jiang He opened his mouth and replied, "Xu Yiman, a forensic doctor from the Longcheng Public Security Bureau."

"Is that the one who broke a case with you?" Shao Lao said.

Jiang He nodded: "That's right, I personally watched her perform an autopsy once. From my observation, Xu Yiman's level is very high. I have a 70% probability that Xu Yiman will join our group. , will certainly be of great help to our task force.”

Shao Lao looked at Jiang He without saying anything else, turned his head to Director Wen and said, "Since it's yours, then give me a copy of Xu Yiman's file, where is she now, let's go to the train station first , tell her to be at the train station within an hour."

In a moment, a criminal policeman printed out a paper document of Xu Yiman.

Shao Lao and Jiang He got into a police car and rushed to the train station.

At the same time, Director Wen's call went directly to Xu Yiman's mobile phone.

Director Wen issued a serious order to arrive at Longcheng Railway Station within an hour.

Although Xu Yiman has been a doctor for a long time, after all, he has not been a forensic doctor for a long time. Xu Yiman was a little surprised when he suddenly received a call from Director Wen himself. Surprised, Xu Yiman was also secretly speculating that something urgent had happened.

Thinking of this, Xu Yiman casually put on a piece of clothes, took the house key and went out.

in the car.

Shao Lao is looking at a file.

Xu Yiman, female, 30 years old, native of Dongxing City, is currently a forensic doctor at the Longcheng Public Security Bureau, and was previously a surgeon at the First People's Hospital of Dongxing City. A year ago, Xu Yiman resigned as a doctor in the People's Hospital for some reason. After that, he stayed at home for a year. After that, Xu Yiman joined the Longcheng Public Security Bureau as a practice doctor. It is less than a few months from now.

Although Xu Yiman's practice as a doctor is not long, he has also been a surgeon for five or six years, and there is still no problem with the autopsy.

Mr. Shao saw the two words on this file - "for reason", and don't look at these two simple words on paper, but to get to the bottom of the reason, it may be a very long story . And this file does not state that it is very likely that the "for some reason" party is kept secret.

However, with Shao's mind, he actually guessed a few points, but he wouldn't say it.

When Shao Lao and others arrived at the train station, Xu Yiman had been waiting for about ten minutes.

"Jiang He?" Seeing Jiang He and an old man approaching, Xu Yiman couldn't help asking, "Jiang He, do you know what happened? The director suddenly asked me to come here."

"Congratulations, you are now a member of the task force." Shao Lao said to Xu Yiman from a distance.

"The task force? Mr. Shao?"

The task force Xu Yiman naturally knew that the previous week, Xu Yiman also heard that some detectives in the bureau had participated in the written test for the task force selection, but most of them were brushed down, but he did not sign up at all, and I am a forensic doctor. Could it be that Xu Yiman, who has the same name as himself, made a mistake?

"You must have made a mistake." Xu Yiman hurriedly shook his head: "I am a forensic doctor, not a criminal police officer."

Shao Lao waved his hand: "Yes, it's you. Let's go, the tickets are all bought for you."

"Where to go?" Xu Yiman asked.

"Shangxi Market." Shao Lao said.

"What are you doing?" Xu Yiman asked again.

Shao Lao smiled: "Let me show you something interesting."

"So that's what you showed me interesting?"

Xu Yiman looked at Shao Lao and couldn't help but say.

On the train, Xu Yiman thought he could travel with public funds, but as soon as he got off the train, before he could catch his breath, he was directly taken to the funeral home by the local police. Then, someone came over carrying a small basket, which was covered with a white cloth. When Xu Yiman lifted the white cloth with surprise, he found that there was a human head inside.

Xu Yiman should have thought that when he got out of the car, he was pulled to the funeral home and what was waiting for him.

While observing the head, Shao Lao said, "Let's do an autopsy."

"Just one head?" Xu Yiman shrugged.

Shao Lao nodded: "It's just such a head, and the rest of the parts have not been found."

"Okay." Xu Yiman said: "If you want to watch together, wear protective clothing, masks and gloves."

ready.

"Jiang He, grab this head." Xu Yiman said.

According to the method taught by Xu Yiman, Jiang He grabbed the neck under the head, while Xu Yiman began to shave the head.

Xu Yiman shaved the head while observing the head. Intuitively, the victim should be a male. Both the Adam's apple and the weight and shape of the skull indicate that this is a male head. However, the hair on this head is relatively long, and at this moment, it is mixed with blood on the forehead and even on the eyes, making it difficult to distinguish the appearance of this person.

However, as the strands of hair fell, the scars on the entire head clearly appeared in front of everyone.

Since Jiang He was facing the human head face to face, he gradually realized that the human head could basically be described as horrific.

The left eye of this human head can no longer be found, and it is a black hole at the moment. The eyeball of the right eye bulged out, and there was a congestion inside the eyeball, as if suffering from pink eye.

Looking down, the bridge of the nose of this human head was completely broken, I am afraid it was a comminuted fracture. At this moment, the nose seems to have been crooked to one side. And the most important thing is that almost all the teeth in this human head's mouth have fallen out, only the posterior molars are left, and the incisor canines have either fallen off, or only half of them are left.

In addition, the left cheekbone of the human head is also sunken in a large piece.

At this moment, the hair of the human head has also been shaved.

Xu Yiman held the head and rushed it on the faucet, which inexplicably made Jiang He feel like he was washing fruit.

Xu Yiman pointed to the neck of the human head: "The murderer started from the long neck muscle of the deceased, splitting the deceased's head and body. Look at the skin flaps, which are jagged and jagged. The opening direction of the **** is on one side, and judging from the uneven spacing of the flaps, the murderer's tool for dismembering the body should be a saw."

Jiang He also observed the skin flap. After hearing Xu Yiman say that the dismembering tool was a saw, Jiang He had already calculated the size of the saw teeth in his mind. But there was too little information, and Jiang He couldn't imagine what the saw would look like.

At this time, Xu Yiman said: "Judging from the scars on the human head, one has traces of life, and the other has no traces of life. This is easy to understand, that is, some scars have corpse spots and blood under the skin. It means he was alive when the wounds were formed, but some wounds were not because of blood clotting."

Saying that, Xu Yiman pointed to several wounds: "Look, these blunt wounds have blood clots under the skin. These are wounds during his lifetime."

"And these." Xu Yiman pointed to the rest of the injuries: "Obviously left after death."

After a pause, Xu Yiman said: "But in general, these injuries are some blunt injuries, blow injuries, and no sharp injuries. Especially near the skull, if you touch it with your hands, you will feel as if the skull is on the skull. There are cracks, but from the outside there are no major scars."

Seeing Xu Yiman, Mr. Shao seemed a little puzzled, and explained: "This head was discovered in football. Before this head was discovered, the head in the football was kicked over, so there were so many blunt injuries. , I'm afraid they were all kicked out."

"This head was put into a football?" Xu Yiman said, "This is the first time I have encountered such a case."

"What about football?" Jiang He asked.

The captain of the criminal police, who had not spoken for a long time, hurriedly brought the evidence over.

Xu Yiman continued to dissect the head, while Jiang He and Shao Lao began to observe the football.

A standard football skin is sewn from twenty pentagons and twelve hexagons, and so is this football. But Jiang He discovered one thing, that is, the soccer ball is bigger than the soccer **** played by athletes, and it seems to be the same size as a basketball.

At this moment, several pieces of the football skin had fallen off, and Jiang He carefully observed the still connected skin.

Jiang He saw that nine stitches were used to stitch each piece of skin to the other piece, but there were several stitches at the place where it fell off. This meant that the murderer didn't notice. A standard football has a standard number of stitches, and the stitches are not evenly spaced from the seam spacing.

This made Jiang He understand that the murderer hadn't paid attention to this detail at all, which meant that the murderer was not careful in this matter.

Shao Lao picked up a piece of ball skin. At this moment, he saw something inside the ball skin. It turned out that what was inside the ball skin turned out to be the teeth in the mouth of a human head.

Shao Lao looked at these teeth and said, "This person has filled his teeth before, and the position of the teeth is the second one from the lower incisor to the right, and the other is the third one from the upper incisor to the left. No. Jiang He, come and have a look, did I observe correctly?"

Hearing Lao Shao's words, Jiang He immediately went to observe. After sorting in his mind, Jiang He immediately agreed with Lao Lao Shao's answer: "Not at all."

"I can't find out the source of the corpse. No one has come to claim it. Go to various hospitals and clinics to check that these two teeth have been filled. I think they should be able to find out." Shao Lao looked at Li Qi, the captain of the criminal police in Shangxi City. .

Li Qi nodded: "Send someone to do it immediately."

"Jiang He, have you found anything?" Shao Lao asked.

Jiang He shook his head.

Shao Lao smiled: "I have."
