Chapter 242 The Second Corpse

Chapter 243 The Second Corpse

The smell comes from the decaying matter formed by some garbage.

Unlike a normal reservoir, there are a large number of fish, shrimps, algae and various microorganisms. In such a coal mine seepage tunnel, there are very few living things, and they are particularly single.

Occasionally, there are fish and other things, but they are barely alive, and it is even more difficult to form an ecological system like a reservoir.

The garbage dumped in it is decomposed very slowly.

When the large machinery started working, some of the exposed decayed matter began to smell under the sun.

The faces of the leaders of the Mining Bureau became even worse.

It is not that garbage landfill is not allowed, but there are certain rules. For example, the Tuanjie Coal Mine at the foot of the mountain here is a shallow open-pit coal mine. After it was jointly established by several communes, it was soon mined out, and the exposed mining area eventually became the garbage landfill of Zifeng Town.

That is a landfill approved in compliance with regulations. You have to pay and be responsible, and you have to do waterproofing underneath.

The requirements for mine landfill here are much more stringent, and not all household garbage can be dumped in.

The illegal operation of the Mining Bureau will definitely be dragged out for trouble later...

Xu Taining and others didn't care about so much, just stretched their necks, waiting for the large machinery to push away some of the upper concrete, and ordered: "The forensic doctor will go down first. The police dog will wait."

The police dog's feet are very delicate. If there are too many concrete bricks, broken cables and wires, and steel bars below, it will be easily injured.

It doesn't matter for the forensic doctor.

Jiang Yuan dressed neatly without saying a word, and lowered from the rock wall next to him with a hanging basket.

There are many such things in the warehouse of the Mining Bureau, but they have been in disrepair for a long time, and I don't know if they will kill people.

The mine cave is about 50 meters deep, equivalent to the height of a 13-story building. Looking down from above, it is still a bit scary.

Of course, the horror index at the bottom of the pit is even higher. The thin mud, the sticky feeling underfoot, the occasional steel bars, iron wires, abandoned equipment, coal blocks...

There are also various huge concrete blocks standing beside, and I don’t know if they are stable or not.

“I hate dealing with this kind of scene the most. I haven’t seen the body yet. Shouldn’t the on-site investigator come first?” The forensic doctor Wang Lan, who was wrapped tightly beside him, was already muttering.

Jiang Yuan had already greeted her just now, and there was also the Niu forensic doctor next to him, both of whom were forensic doctors who came to support today.

The case happened in Qinghe Town. Although the provincial department dispatched many people to support, the main force was still the police of Qinghe City.

Several forensic doctors checked each other’s equipment and started to work.

Complaints aside, Wang Lan did not drag his feet. He first tried to walk on the places he could step on, and then slowly expanded the scope of investigation. If it was too deep, he would put a flag to mark it, and he would turn it over by hand when it was time.

After a while, the legs and feet of several people were stuck in the mud to the point where they could not move. The height disadvantage of forensic doctor Niu buried his thighs in the water, which made it even more difficult.

"Do you want to use a machine to dig it out?" Wang Lan moved to the front of forensic doctor Niu.

Forensic doctor Niu hesitated for a moment and said, "Forget it, I smell something wrong."

"Does it smell a bit like a corpse?" Wang Lan confirmed with forensic doctor Niu.

"I think so." Forensic doctor Niu simply untied the mask and took two puffs, nodding affirmatively.

For forensic doctors, the sense of smell itself is a very important criterion for judgment. For obvious ones, such as the sweet smell of corpse odor, it is necessary to consider the deceased's poisoning.

However, because it is difficult to express the sense of smell in film and television dramas, and ordinary people are afraid of corpse odor, there are fewer cases of describing the smell.

In reality, human beings are born with a sensitivity to corpse odor.

The biggest obstacle to dumping corpses is also the smell.

When many people die at home or their bodies are dumped on the sides of the road, the most likely reason to be discovered is the smell.

The mud under the water originally had no smell, but under the scorching sun, it gradually emitted various smells.

Jiang Yuan and the other two young forensic doctors were wearing activated carbon masks, filtering out most of the smell. They listened to the conversation between forensic doctors Wang and Niu, but had no intention of sniffing specifically.

Jiang Yuan was a level 4 crime scene investigator, and for him, observation would give him more information.

As for the other bonuses brought by the smell, they could also be achieved by other means.

For example... touch.

Jiang Yuan bent down, stretched out his hand, and slowly pulled out an... arm.

Crime scene investigation, at this time, can always play some special investigation effects.

"Human." Jiang Yuan took a look and shouted.

This time, not only the forensic doctors at the bottom of the cave, but also the crowd above the mine cave was in a commotion.

"Confirmed that there are human remains." Wang Lan hurried over to take a look and gave a positive answer.

The remains are not a good thing, but at least it proves that this time-consuming operation is not a joke.

The white shirts on the top also breathed a sigh of relief.

Xu Taining immediately took out his mobile phone and started calling.

Although thousands of people were mobilized and huge manpower and material resources were consumed, it was still reasonable to solve a murder case.

Of course, it is still very important to find Liu Jinghui alive, if he is still alive.

Xu Taining whispered a few words to the people next to him, and then someone asked on the walkie-talkie: "How long has the body been dead? Is it more than a week?"

That's why it's hard to ask clearly if it's Liu Jinghui's.

Wang Lan poked the intercom and said: "There is corpse wax, at least a corpse that is more than 10 months old."

Corpse wax is a relatively rare corpse phenomenon. Generally, corpse wax can only be formed after the fat of the corpse is degenerated, or saponified, in water or moist soil.

The corpse that forms corpse wax is called a preserved corpse. Similar and more famous ones are mummified corpses, such as mummies or Loulan female corpses.

The requirements for forming a preserved corpse are more stringent and take a longer time. But once formed, it can be stored for a long time. The same reference is made to the mummies and Loulan female corpses, which are thousands of years old and still have not decayed or turned into bones like traditional corpses.

However, the specific time is another complicated task.

Xu Taining knew it was not Liu Jinghui's body, so he said, "Continue searching."

Then, he further discussed with the few people in white shirts at the top.

The atmosphere near the mine has obviously improved.

The police dogs felt this most clearly. Both Heizi and Da Zhuang sat down obediently, not anxious at all, like calm township civil servants.

More technicians were sent down by hanging baskets.

Those who usually sit in an office have to dig in the mud at times like this.

Everyone gathered around the place where Jiang Yuan found his arm and began to expand downwards.

Now there is no need to grope around. In the mud, which is one foot deep, everyone has an iron plate to hold the mud.

The iron plate is used to hold vegetables and rice in the large canteen. It is more than one meter long and half a meter wide. It can hold a large amount of mud. When it is almost full, it can be pushed to the edge, poured into a bucket and lifted out.

Soon, a Komatsu mini excavator began to join the on-site mining.

The half-meter-wide small bucket looks like a toy, but it works very hard, and it is also a serious productivity tool.

"leg."

Another person touched the treasure.

Immediately afterwards, other body parts also appeared one after another.

Only the head was not seen.

If you can't see them, you keep touching them. If you feel tired, you put them up in a hanging basket to rest. After you have rested, you send them back down.

At this time, no one was talking about overtime pay or other topics. Anyway, there was none. They just kept searching downwards and around.

It is through this kind of meticulous work that the other hand and toes can be found.

Things were being fished out constantly, and the mine became abuzz with people.

Jiang Yuan was hoisted up again and was very tired.

The mud below is no better than the flat ground, and you have to pull your legs when walking. Fatigue increased significantly.

You have to bend down when fishing, and you have to bear weight when you are still.

In addition, I have to constantly identify the types of things I fish out... To be honest, some of the garbage looks like real garbage.

Jiang Yuan rested for a while, then rinsed his clothes, hands and legs with water, and then went to take a shower in the RV a hundred meters away.

The RV was dispatched by Xu Taining, specifically for everyone to use for bathing and changing clothes.

To be honest, the logistics support this time was really in place, so everyone was tired and not many people called out.

Jiang Yuan washed up, came out, sat down and drank a cup of tea, and then his nose could smell the smell normally.

At this time, I felt a slight sense of pleasure.

After resting like this for about two hours, Jiang Yuan turned on his phone again and saw that the corpse had already begun to be discussed in the small work group.

"The body was sawed, probably with a chain saw or something like that. It's very similar to the body in the last reservoir case."

"The corpse must have been dismembered to facilitate transportation. It looks like he doesn't know much about anatomy."

"Maybe it's just an act. I've cut the bodies into pieces a lot, and even those who don't understand understand."

Just when the scene was about to turn into a large-scale survey site teaching, another burst of noise came from below.

Several forensic doctors who were resting all ran out from their hiding places.

Below the mine, there was another noise, accompanied by very rapid orders.

Jiang Yuan looked at the edge of the mine and saw a gray travel bag dug out from underneath.

"The second corpse." The voice from below came up muffled.
