"Be gentle, be gentle …" The forensic doctor, who was wearing a white uniform, asked his assistants to put the body down carefully. "Pay attention to the head. Don't use too much force, and don't be too loose …"
At the side, Zhao Yu, Cui Lizhu, and Xi Mengna, who had just woken up, stood by the side, carefully observing the disposal of the body.
After the body was put into the body bag, the local forensic doctor came forward and began a preliminary examination of the body.
In order to let Forensic Doctor Guo Fengzhan see clearly, Zhao Yu asked Cui Lizhu to video-connect with Forensic Doctor Guo again.
"Oh my, it's all frozen!" The local forensic doctor gently pressed the clothes of the deceased, but saw that the clothes had become very hard.
"Open the clothes and look inside …" At this time, Forensic Doctor Guo commanded through the phone, "See if there is any adhesion inside."
"Oh …" The local forensic doctor often handled frozen corpses, so he immediately understood what Guo Fengzhan meant. He quickly reached out to unbutton the deceased's clothes.
When the buttons were undone, he gently lifted the clothes of the deceased, but found that the clothes could not be lifted, as if they were stuck to the body.
"The possibility of hanging himself is very high," Forensic Doctor Guo sighed and said, "The adhesion means that after the deceased hung himself, his skin still exuded sweat, and the sweat and clothes were frozen together.
"Then …" Forensic Doctor Guo said again, "Check the locking groove and see when it was formed."
"It must have been formed when he was alive," the local forensic doctor said, pointing to the neck of the deceased. "It's very sunken here, with obvious swelling and deep marks. Also, the marks of the locking groove are clear, without the kind of oblique strangulation marks …"
"Then … check his clothes again," Medical Examiner Guo said worriedly. "Especially his arms and wrists. See if there are any signs of strangulation. Did the murderer tie him up?"
"No," the local forensic doctor said. "I just checked, and there are no signs of tying. It's so cold here, if there were any, the marks would be very obvious!"
"Wow, so …" Cui Lizhu asked, "Ge Bing really hanged himself? Did someone hoist him up there? "
"From the surface characteristics …" The local forensic doctor said, "The deceased is very likely to have committed suicide, but we have to do further investigation to be 100% sure!
"Because there is another possibility, which is that the murderer used drugs to knock out or anesthetize the deceased, and then hung him up," the forensic doctor said. "But that would require a large amount of drugs, which can be detected!"
"Yes, but …" Medical Examiner Guo added on the phone, "If the deceased was anesthetized, the signs of mechanical asphyxia would be less obvious. The tongue would rarely come out, and … there would be very few scenes of incontinence …"
"So …" Zhao Yu nodded and said, "Ge Bing probably committed suicide!
"But …" Zhao Yu changed the topic and asked, "I want to know when he died. Can you tell how long he has been hanging here?"
"This … is hard to say, right?" The local forensic doctor pointed at the body and said, "It's not just the low temperature here. It's minus 20 degrees Celsius, which is basically a freezer!
"Just from the surface characteristics, it's very difficult …"
"Medical Examiner Guo, what about you?" Zhao Yu asked. "Can you compare it with the previous four corpses?"
"No," Medical Examiner Guo said. "The environment of this corpse is different from that of the female corpse under the bridge, and it was also wearing clothes. But from the surface, I'm afraid it's difficult to tell, but …"
"It should be quite some time." The local forensic doctor pointed at a detail on the neck of the deceased and said, "There seems to be signs of draining here. This thing needs to be frozen for at least two weeks before it appears …"
"No way!" Cui Lizhu tried to recall. "The last female corpse case happened about ten days ago, right?"
"What do you mean by draining?" Zhao Yu asked.
"Oh, for example, if there's a piece of meat in the freezer, we usually wrap it in a plastic bag. If we don't wrap it in a plastic bag, the water in the frozen meat will evaporate quickly and become very dry.
"The same principle applies to frozen corpses," he said, pointing at the exposed skin of the corpse. "You can see that the color of the exposed skin lightens at the edges. This is the phenomenon of draining!"
"Usually, when this happens, the corpse needs to be completely moved, and it takes a certain amount of time!"
"There's a weak airflow in the house," Medical Examiner Guo analyzed. "The house is relatively dry, so we can't judge based on our experience!"
"Medical Examiner Guo," Zhao Yu said. "The time of death of the deceased is very important, as it will directly determine whether he is the killer under the bridge or not!
"So, can you give me an accurate time?"
"Yes, that's not a problem," the local forensic doctor said. "We often deal with frozen corpses. By examining the residues in the stomach of the deceased, we can basically accurately determine the time of death to be within a week!"
"Through the chronological degradation of liver tissue," Medical Examiner Guo said. "I can almost accurately determine within three days …"
"Great!" Zhao Yu said to the local forensic doctor. "In that case, let's send the corpse to your police station first! When Medical Examiner Guo comes, you can deal with it together! "
"Okay!" The local forensic doctor nodded, then began to carry out a routine examination of the corpse.
In the end, he found something in one of the deceased's pockets.
There was a Xiaomi Mi phone and a comic book in the box …
"What is this?" Cui Lizhu asked curiously. "Why is there a comic book? Hey? It's not even in Chinese … "
Everyone looked at the comic book and saw that it was written in Russian.
"No way!" Zhao Yu was also a little surprised. "A Russian comic book?"
"This … This is …" However, Xi Mengna recognized it at a glance. "This should be the Bucharest Suspension Bridge Female Corpse Case!"
"Oh … That's right!" Zhao Yu and Cui Lizhu both saw that there was a drawing of a suspension bridge on the cover, and that there was a noose hanging under the bridge.
"In the Russian Far East, especially the places close to us," the local forensic doctor said. "Influenced by us, there have been many comic books written in Russian.
"But …" He looked at the corpse and said, "Did the suicidal person bring a comic book with him?"
Zhao Yu wanted to take the comic book and have a good look at it, but because it had not been examined yet, he could only temporarily put it in the evidence bag.
"I think the facts are getting clearer and clearer!" Cui Lizhu looked at the comic book in the evidence bag and said, "Maybe this comic book belongs to the bride. The reason why Ge Bing used the method of killing the female corpse under the bridge was because he used this comic book as a reference."
"He used this special killing method to avenge the bride!"
"So," Xi Mengna said. "This person is undoubtedly the killer under the bridge! After he killed them, he ran here to hang himself. He died a martyr! "
"No!" However, Zhao Yu shook his head and said, "If it was really a suicide by hanging, then there was no need for him to make the case so detailed and leave no traces!
"This case …" Zhao Yu looked at the corpse and frowned. "It's definitely not that simple!"
