The border of S Province, Tongshan.
Yan Ji got off the car in the middle of the night and slept in the duty room of the county's Public Security Bureau. At dawn the next day, Chief Medical Examiner Gou LI finally arrived with the technical team. At the crack of dawn, they yawned and tried their best to stay awake. They followed the police station's only Volkswagen Santana up the mountain.
Qi Sihao's feverish brain may have been awakened by the biting cold in the mountain. He repeatedly said that he could stay in the local police station and wait for them to go down the mountain. Although Gou LI did not understand why Captain Qi of Gongzhou would appear here, he envied that Qi Sihao could stay at the foot of the mountain to warm himself. He wished he could change places with him.
"I have such a thick layer of fat all over my body. I fed and fed them all spring, summer and autumn, and this is how they repay me! When it's time to use them, I regret not having enough! "Gou LI was distressed. He wrapped himself in a blanket and curled up in the car," Old Yan! "
Yan Ji sat by the open door and smoked, "What?"
"Don't you feel cold wearing these clothes?!"
Yan Ji was wearing a police scarf issued by the Public Security Bureau. The dark gray slim-fitting windbreaker looked expensive at first glance. The exquisite tailoring outlined the strong outline of his body. He said casually, "Because the density of muscle is higher than the density of fat, so the cold resistance index is different."
Gou LI, "…"
Outside the car window, there was a steep mountain in the winter jungle. The on-site technical team, local police, forest police, and dozens of police dogs dispersed and went deep into the mountain road in all directions to search.
"I've always had a question." Gou Yong moved his butt closer and gestured into the distance. "Our country is so big, and there are so many high-risk and unstable migrants like Teng Wenyan. If a criminal killed someone and threw the body into the remote mountains and forests, as long as no one spilled the beans for eight to ten years, wouldn't it be impossible to find it?"
Yan Ji glanced at him strangely, "How can it be?"
Gou LI stared back innocently.
"No matter how unstable the floating population is, there will always be social connections. As long as there are traces left behind, someone will definitely discover their disappearance. Moreover, when it comes to disposing of corpses, it's truly a remote place in the mountains and forests. Ordinary people simply can't go there at all. Objective conditions such as transportation, manpower limitations, and the decay of corpses will form an all-round restrictive factor. " With a cigarette between his fingers, Yan Ji pointed to the dense forest in the distance where dogs were barking. "Even if it's a drug trafficking organization with money, manpower, and firepower, it's impossible for them to dispose of a corpse without leaving a trace. Look at where we are now. Although it's a little remote, it can't be considered a primitive forest. "
Gou Li seemed to be deep in thought as he hummed.
"The tracks left by the off-road convoy, the great damage done to the trees on the ground, and the eyewitness recollections of the local residents … The more people are involved in dumping the bodies in the forest, the more traceable clues will be left behind." Yan Ji threw the cigarette butt at his feet and put it out. "There's no such thing as a crime that leaves no trace. It all depends on how much effort is put into the police force and how advanced the criminal investigation technology is."
As if to confirm his words, the car's walkie-talkie suddenly buzzed. Both of them turned around at the same time.
"All teams pay attention, all teams pay attention!" The voice of the on-site trace examiner came out of the channel. "Large-scale man-made destruction of vegetation has been found six hundred meters away from three o 'clock in search area 012. I repeat, a situation has been found six hundred meters away from three o' clock in search area 012. Please follow up! Over. "
Yan Ji and Gou LI looked at each other and picked up the walkie-talkie. "Understood. We'll follow up!"

The morning mist in the forest slowly dispersed. The sky finally passed through the treetops and illuminated the gray forest hills. The police car was parked at the bottom of the hill not far away. Several local policemen with shovels surrounded the middle of the open space and worked hard to dig the soil covered with half-decayed leaves.
"I got it, I got it!" Someone suddenly shouted. "Where's the forensic doctor? Call Director Gou over!"
A corner of fabric was vaguely exposed in the pit. The shovel immediately stopped. Gou LI rushed over with two intern forensic doctors. At this time, he didn't care about the cold. He took the shovel and squatted in the pit. He slowly dug out the hard object under the soil. Sure enough, after a few shovels, a white skeletal hand suddenly appeared in everyone's sight.
"Be careful! Gently lift it out! "
"One, two, three!"
After three whole years of being unable to see the light of day, the two corpses were finally dug up and exposed to the light of day.
Teng Wenyan and Wang Rui were lying flat on the plastic sheet, hand in hand. Their bodies were covered with soil. The hollow skeletons looked straight at the gloomy sky. The clothes they were wearing had been destroyed beyond recognition. Only Wang Rui's shirt could barely be seen as blue. Teng Wenyan was wearing a round-necked dress of an unidentifiable color and a pair of rotten and tattered sneakers.
After the criminal camera finished taking photos, Gou LI asked someone to lay down the inspection board and asked all non-technical personnel to stand far away from the pit. He then changed into a new pair of gloves and took the medical kit from his assistant. He first squatted beside Wang Rui's body and examined it for a moment.
"The victim's head was hit. The occipital part of the corpse's skull has concentric and radioactive fracture lines. It's a classic feature of a concave comminuted fracture. The center point of the concentric circle is very clear. There are no intersections between the radiation lines. At the same time, it extends all the way to the top of the head. Therefore, the preliminary inference is that the murder weapon should be a stone or a blunt metal weapon. Moreover, there was only one hit. "
Gou LI signaled his assistant to help him turn the corpse over. After a short while, he looked up and said, "Although there are also fractures of the C6 to T1 vertebrae, it should be caused by the victim falling on his back when he was pushed into the pit. The direct cause of death is still the brain injury."
As he examined the corpse, his assistant quickly recorded it down. There were so many people at the scene of the autopsy, but other than the birds in the forest, there was no one walking or talking around.
"The murderer's attitude towards the victim was very rough. After hitting the skull, he immediately pushed the victim into the pit. Either he was very confident that the victim would die on the spot, or he didn't care about the possibility of being buried alive." Gou LI stood up and exhaled, "In short, it was a one-hit kill. The murderer is cruel and cold-blooded, and has a very strong arm. Based on the length of the foot and the length of the tibia, the victim was 1.723 meters tall when he was alive. Based on the angle of the attack, the murderer's height should be … Hmm … "
"Less than 1.85 meters tall and about 80 kilograms. It's a rare person who has both hands." Yan Ji said lightly.
Gou LI said, "Hmm? How do you know?"
Yan Ji's eyes were gloomy and he didn't answer.
Not only did he know, but he had also fought with the murderer three times.
