Because they were very familiar with each other, Ding Jian could roughly guess what Hu Pingtao was thinking by looking at his expression: "Don't expect surveillance. During the renovation of the old city, all the residential buildings in this area were demolished and moved behind the red lines."

.The nearest camera is at the street corner three hundred meters away."

Hu Pingtao shook his head and sighed softly: "The body was dumped after the murder. This is at the lower end of the river. There is no way to determine the specific site of the dumping. The river flows straight down. Judging from the degree of decomposition of the deceased, he might have fallen into the water somewhere upstream.

.”

Ding Jian raised his finger and pointed at the black plastic bag on the deceased: "This is a large garbage bag. I just saw that there were a total of twelve such bags tied to the deceased, from his neck to his ankles.

The bags were wrapped with bricks in order to sink the deceased."

Hu Pingtao looked at the corpse and analyzed it: "It has been soaked in water for a long time. It swelled after decomposition and its buoyancy increased, so it floated?"

Ding Jian nodded and explained: "There are not many bricks. After killing people, they wrap them in plastic bags and use bricks to gain weight. This kind of thing cannot be done outside. Even at night, in the middle of the night, there are security personnel on the riverside.

Patrolling. Even if there is an occasional passerby on the road and sees it, it will be a big deal."

Hu Pingtao nodded and picked up the topic: "So the process of shrouding the body and increasing its weight can only be done in the house. After the murderer finished the preparations, he carried the deceased to the river and threw the body into the water."

Ding Jian said: "I just said that this woman has a very good figure, and there is a basis for it. Don't look at her arms and thighs now rotten and soaked in water like a big carrot. In fact, she weighs very little, about fifty kilograms.

, forty-eight, nine is the most likely.”

Hu Pingtao glanced at him: "You have nothing to do all day long, so you just study this?"

Ding Jian said seriously: "I am a forensic doctor! What can I study if I don't study this?"

Hu Pingtao said: "It seems that I have to keep my wife away from you in the future."

"Tch!" Ding Jian said disdainfully: "You are thinking wrongly."

Joking aside, the situation analysis continued. Hu Pingtao said seriously: "This can explain why there are not many bricks wrapped around the body of the deceased. There are two reasons. First, the body cannot be carried too heavy, otherwise you will cause trouble for yourself.

Secondly... I guess the murderer has made preparations in advance, but bricks are really hard to find."

Ding Jian looked at him knowingly: "Construction sites are now very strictly guarded, and ordinary people cannot enter."

Hu Pingtao nodded and smiled: "Absolutely. Without a helmet or a pass, the gatekeepers at the construction site will not let people go easily."

Ding Jian suddenly thought of another possibility: "What if the murderer pretended to buy a house and pretended to be looking at real estate properties?"

Hu Pingtao shook his head and asked: "Have you ever seen a housekeeper take a lot of bricks with him before leaving? If you don't have money to buy a house, keep it as a souvenir? Or run around in various construction sites, steal steel bars and bricks, and get them back from where they came from?"

Self-built?"

Ding Jian frowned and asked: "You mean, the murderer was a premeditated murder?"

Hu Pingtao nodded first and then said: "But there is one thing I don't understand."

Ding Jian asked: "Which point?"

Hu Pingtao strode forward, opened up the broken black plastic bag covering the body, and pointed at the swollen left hand of the female corpse: "Look at this."

Following the direction he pointed, Ding Jian saw a transparent plastic bag tied to the left forearm of the female corpse.

"What is this?" Ding Jian suddenly became interested and asked doubtfully.

Hu Pingtao smiled and explained: "When I was talking to the two old fishermen just now, I saw you doing the autopsy from a distance. At that time, you were only checking the head and upper body of the deceased, and didn't have time to see the wrists. And the deceased just

Not long after I fished it out of the water, my wrist was entangled with aquatic plants and some debris. I guess you didn't pay attention."

Ding Jian smacked his lips and wanted to say something, but he could only sigh in frustration.

What a careless person! If he had known this was the case, he would never have talked to Hu Pingtao in the middle of the autopsy.

"I don't think this plastic bag is anything special!" Ding Jian would never admit defeat: "See for yourself, it's wrapped around the deceased's arm and tied in a tight knot. It obviously has the same effect as the black garbage bag on the body.

, are used to hold heavy objects.”

As he spoke, Ding Jian knelt down, stared at the deceased's wrist for a few seconds, and said seriously: "I'm really not talking nonsense. Come and see for yourself. There are two stones in the bag."

Hu Pingtao nodded and smiled: "I know that the bag must contain stones. What I mean is, why is the black plastic bag used to wrap and tie the body of the deceased? But the transparent plastic bag is used to tie it to the arm of the deceased?"

"Does this need to be said?" Ding Jian felt that this was not a problem at all, and said frankly: "These are two plastic bags with completely different sizes. Let's talk about the black one on the deceased first. It is very big and can be spread alone.

The length when opened is at least one and a half meters. If the handles on both sides are separated and included, the length must be more than two meters. This kind of plastic bag is not commonly used at home, but it can be purchased at any plastic bag wholesale store."

"This kind of large plastic bag is mainly used to hold items such as bedding or clothes. The bag itself is very thick, very strong, and difficult to tear. The price is not cheap, only two yuan. Of course,

If it is wholesale and you buy a lot at one time, it will definitely be cheaper.”

Having said this, Ding Jian stood up and made gestures with his hands on his belly: "I noticed this problem during the autopsy before. You see, the black plastic bag on the deceased was opened and wrapped around the body of the deceased.

Circle it, and then tie it and tie it with a knot."

Hu Pingtao nodded: "Yes. There is an advantage to this. The murderer stuffed the bricks into the plastic bag. He could twist the whole bag into strips and then tie it up. In this way, the bricks stuffed inside

The blocks are fixed and will not shake due to the excessive size of the plastic bag.”

Ding Jian agreed: "So the murderer had already made preparations before killing the victim and purchased this large black plastic bag in advance."

Hu Pingtao took a step forward, pointed at the female body lying on the ground, and explained: "Look here and there, the body is divided into different stages from the neck to the ankles, and they are all wrapped in black plastic bags.

You haven't completed the initial inspection, but I can roughly estimate the number of bricks used for weight gain."

Ding Jian understands this well: "A plastic bag contains one brick, and ten bricks are ten bricks. I think these quantities are about the same. If there are more, it will be a burden to the murderer. Even if he first removes the body from the location where it was found,

Load it into the car, then drive to a secluded location by the river and throw it into the water. It would be very difficult to carry it just for these two distances, so we really can’t add more weight.”

Hu Pingtao nodded: "From this perspective, we can basically judge that there is only one murderer."

Ding Jian said: "That's for sure. If there are two people, the way to deal with the body may not be as simple as adding weight and throwing it into the water. The safest way is to drive the deceased to the outside of the city, dig a hole and bury it."

Hu Pingtao said: "Let's go back to the transparent plastic bag on the wrist of the deceased. Look, there is one tied to each side of the left and right hands. Look at the black plastic bag tied to the body of the deceased. What did you think of?"

After hearing what he said, Ding Jian suddenly lost his interest in joking and focused his attention on the deceased's wrist.

The two transparent plastic bags were filled with stones, also to gain weight.

"This is a special plastic bag for Xuelan milk." Ding Jian suddenly said this.

Hu Pingtao nodded and smiled.

He had figured out where the transparent plastic bag came from before.

Shenandoah Milk is a local star company. The quality of dairy products is very good and the price is moderate. The transparent plastic bag has the word "fresh milk" eye-catching, as well as the company's trademark. As long as you buy Shenandai Milk's products, no matter boxed fresh milk

, yogurt, milk beer... Merchants all use this kind of bag as packaging.

Ding Jian frowned and asked: "Even if it is a special plastic bag for Xuelan milk, what does it mean?"

Hu Pingtao explained: "As usual, the first thing we have to do is to identify the deceased. It has been some time since the deceased was killed, and he only had a suspender nightgown. Apart from this, no more clues can be found. More

What's worse is that the body shape and appearance of the deceased have changed due to decay and being soaked in water."

"We can only look for clues from the origin of plastic bags. Black plastic bags are very difficult. Although these large bags are not used much, they can be bought in many places in the city. Many people like to use these when moving.

Plant bags for clothes and bedding, so..."

"What you said is wrong." Ding Jian shook his head and disagreed: "The murderer definitely wouldn't have bought such large plastic bags and stored them early. I guess it was just a recent thing. As long as he takes the time

And energy, visit more plastic bag wholesale stores, you should be rewarded!"

Hu Pingtao glanced at him angrily: "I haven't finished speaking yet! Why are you so anxious? What you said is actually what I want to say. Since we both agree on this issue, there is no need to

Continuing to explore the black plastic bags, let’s analyze the special bags for Shenandoah milk.”

"Shenandoah milk has many distributors. Basically, wherever there is a canteen, you can buy Shenandoah milk. But this kind of labeled plastic bag is only available in specialty stores and is not available to ordinary distributors.

"

Ding Jian was very smart and understood immediately: "In other words, in addition to the manufacturer, only customers who buy Xuelan products in specialty stores have the opportunity to get this kind of bag?"

Hu Pingtao nodded: "So the deceased's job may be working in a Xuelan Milk store, or she may have purchased Xuelan Milk products."

"Let's talk about the bag tied on the deceased's wrist. I think the murderer did it on a temporary basis."

As he spoke, Hu Pingtao stood on the spot with his feet together, stretched out his arms, and explained: "Under normal circumstances, tying the deceased and using bricks to increase the weight would be to tie the whole person into strips with ropes. I guess the reason why the murderer

I chose a black plastic bag, maybe because I thought the deceased was slim, so I used this bag.

It is enough. In addition, if it is troublesome to tie the bricks with ropes, the bricks will fall off as long as you loosen them slightly during handling. Especially in the process of throwing the body from the shore into the river, the bricks will fall off easily.

If the body surfaced early, we would be in big trouble."

"I estimate that when the murderer tied the body with plastic bags, he started from the ankles and worked his way up. Calf, thigh, buttocks, waist... to the chest, when the deceased was upper body, the murderer suddenly found the black plastic bag

Some of them were not enough to include the deceased's hands, so he hurriedly wrapped a bag around his chest and then added one around his neck."

Ding Jian frowned and asked, "How did you tell?"

Hu Pingtao explained: "If it was a normal operation, according to the murderer's original plan, just using a black plastic bag would be enough. But he suddenly encountered this problem, and after committing the murder, he was panicked and just wanted to remove the body as soon as possible.

To dispose of it, we don’t have any ropes or other items on hand, so we can only use local materials and use whatever is available.”

Ding Jian thought about it carefully and thought it was reasonable: "So, I tied a special Xuelan plastic bag to each of the deceased's hands and stuffed stones into them to increase the weight?"

Hu Pingtao nodded: "In desperation, the murderer could only do this. Of course, this is just my guess."

Ding Jian said: "The key is to find out the identity of the deceased."

Hu Pingtao nodded slowly and then fell silent.
