Chapter 27 Small Scenes
Along with it was a strong, putrid smell.
"vomit!"
Liu Shutong immediately covered her mouth and ran away.
"Spit it out further away!" Xu Bin, as the master, instructed.
"That's how it is for newcomers. I was the same when I first saw a rotting corpse." Ma Xiaowu couldn't help but think of his first time back then.
These words, once spoken, caused everyone in the Third Squadron to subconsciously glance at Wu Song.
Wu Song's expression was no different from usual; he didn't even frown.
"Wow, buddy!" Ma Xiaowu patted Wu Song's arm. "This is the first time I've encountered such a strong stench of a corpse. A body that's rotten to this extent, and you don't even react. You, the trainee police officer, are truly the most amazing person I've ever seen, or even heard of, without a doubt."
"You'll get used to it after seeing it so many times," Wu Song said casually.
I've really seen it all before.
In my past life, I saw more corpses during wars than all the criminal police officers in the city combined.
Many more corpses were the result of their own actions.
It's really hard for Wu Song to react to such a corpse.
It might be difficult for others to accept.
For me, it's a small matter.
"Hmm!" No one else in the Third Squadron thought much of it.
I assumed that Wu Song was just a cadaver because he often saw cadavers at university, and I thought to myself, "A bachelor's degree is indeed worthy of a bachelor's degree."
"Master, how long has this body been buried here? Can you tell?" (After vomiting, he returned.)
"Based on my experience, the time of death is at least half a month, and at most three months. After all, it is summer. If it is more than three months, the body should be completely skeletal."
"Is this the correct area?"
"There's nothing I can do, I'm not a professional." Xu Bin shook his head. "The exact time of death needs to be determined based on factors such as the burial depth, soil looseness, and recent temperature. Let's wait for the forensic doctor to arrive. We should trust the judgment of the professionals."
"Officer, officer, I know, he's been dead for no more than a month and a half." Just then, a middle-aged woman from the village who was watching the commotion suddenly spoke up.
"What do you mean?" The men of the Third Squad all looked at the other party.
"I played poker with Ailian for a few days a month and a half ago. He was wearing this outfit and this silver ring on his finger, which looks exactly like Ailian's. But whether it is or not, we have to look inside the ring. I remember Ailian saying that her name was engraved inside the ring when we were playing poker, but I haven't seen it, so I don't know if it's true or not."
As soon as she spoke, someone took the lead, and the villagers who were watching immediately started discussing it.
"Yes, this is Ailian. I've seen her wear this outfit before."
"I've seen her before, it must be her."
"Liu Jianshe is ruthless. So what if she can't have children? She could just get a divorce. Why did he have to kill someone? Tsk tsk tsk, he's going to lose his own life too."
"What a despicable wretch! He killed someone and then buried them in his own ancestral grave. Isn't that an insult to his ancestors?"
Hearing what the people around him were saying, Xu Bin waved his hand and immediately ordered the forensic investigators to start filming the scene, especially the deceased's left hand. After they finished filming, Xu Bin immediately put on gloves and took off the silver ring on the deceased's left ring finger.
Hold it in your hand and look at the inner circle.
The letters LAL are clearly engraved on it.
"LAL, Li Ailian, isn't that just the English abbreviation of the first letters of Li Ailian's name?"
"Jiang Yang, you and the clerk take some men to Xiaorongshu Village to pick up Li Ailian's parents."
"yes!"
……
After half an hour.
A middle-aged couple, both over fifty years old and with faces etched with the marks of time, arrived at the orchard.
The two were Li Ailian's parents.
After glancing at the corpse, the two were about to rush inside.
The police officers in charge of maintaining order at the scene, along with Xu Bin, immediately stepped forward and stopped the two, shouting, "Calm down, calm down!"
"I can't calm down. That's my daughter. How can you expect me to stay calm?" Li's mother started crying.
"Damn it, I knew it was that bastard surnamed Liu who killed my daughter! Daughter! Dad is taking you home. We absolutely cannot stay in this beast's graveyard!"
"Sigh..." Cao Dahua sighed and said in a low voice, "It seems that Li Ailian's relationship with her father may not be very good!"
"Yes!" Wu Song nodded.
"What do you mean?" Liu Shutong, standing to the side, felt a little confused. Hadn't the two of them not said anything? What did "yes" mean?
"If you were her parents, what would you think if you saw your child being killed?" Wu Song asked.
"To avenge the child, we demand that someone be killed."
"Would you consider taking the remains back to your home as soon as possible?"
"She probably wouldn't think that much about it." Liu Shutong frowned, then asked in a low, puzzled voice, "Then why did her father?"
"I guess they want to arrange a ghost marriage. Since they're already dead, they can make some money by arranging a ghost marriage with them."
"This..." Liu Shutong didn't know what to say for a moment.
"only……"
Wu Song murmured and looked at the dead body in the pit.
Based on the current evidence, it appears that Liu Jianshe pushed his wife, Li Ailian, onto the coffee table at home, causing her death, and then moved her body to his family's ancestral grave in the orchard.
But why can't I see the black mist swirling around Liu Jianshe?
Could it be that he didn't kill them himself?
Hiring a killer?
Or perhaps a swap of killings?
wrong!
If it were a case of exchanging murders, even if Liu Jianshe didn't kill Li Ailian, he would still kill someone, and then he wouldn't be without the black mist on his body.
That means hiring someone to kill, or asking someone to kill for him.
Wu Song felt that the focus of the investigation should be on this.
When forensic doctor Liu Li arrived, she set up a tent at the scene and began the autopsy on the spot. While performing the autopsy, Liu Li made a preliminary assessment of the remains.
"There are already signs of skeletalization, but it is not completely skeletalized. Considering the burial depth of 40 centimeters, the loose soil, the high humidity, and the high temperature in recent months, the time of death of the deceased is between one and two months."
The deceased had a U-shaped inferior pubic angle, a wide and shallow ischium, and a triangular obturator foramen, indicating she was female.
Bony closure was observed at the medial end of the clavicle, and a bulge appeared at the edge of the pubic symphysis with the ventral edge beginning to form. The wisdom tooth had erupted but showed no wear. The age was likely around 25 years old. Considering the different nutritional conditions and living environment, the deceased's age should be between 20 and 30 years old, and the deceased had never given birth!
Based on the combined femur and tibia, the height is estimated to be between 1.58 meters and 1.62 meters.
The deceased suffered a severe fracture of the back of the skull, caused by a small blunt object, which is suspected to be the fatal injury.
In summary, the deceased was a woman approximately 1.6 meters tall, between 20 and 30 years old, who had never given birth. The time of death was estimated to be between one and two months prior, and the preliminary cause of death is suspected to be a fracture of the back of the head.
