Chapter 4 Cause of Death

"Let's talk, don't have any worries, they are all their own people." Dai Xu saw that she seemed a little embarrassed to speak, so he nodded to her and gave Tang Hongye a wink. After all, Du Juan was a newcomer and didn't know anyone. The only acquaintance was Tang Hongye himself, "Do you think it's Hongye?"

"If you think of anything, just say it. Don't hesitate. If you can, try it. It's no big deal. You are not a cat, so you don't expect you to be a mouse catching expert." Tang Hongye's original intention was naturally encouraged Du Juan to speak, but this was said from his mouth, and he involuntarily added a little angrily tune.

Fang Yuan glared at him, Du Juan didn't pay much attention to these things. Since everyone encouraged her to speak out her thoughts, she was not a shy person, so she said to them: "In our current situation and environment, we are unlikely to get any high-end mouse-catching equipment immediately. I have seen a program about private homemade mouse-catching machines before. I just need to build a small mechanism to make mice go in and out. Now that small warehouse is closed and dark. It is daytime outside and there are many people. No matter how bad mice are not afraid of people, they are not brave enough, so they should rather stay in such a dark room. So I thought, let's find a cage that can lock most of the mice inside, build such a mouse-catching mechanism at the entrance of the cage, and connect it with a thicker round tube outside the small mechanism to make a darker passage."

When she said this, the others probably understood what she meant.

"Is it better to use black cloth to cover the cage?" A colleague of the county bureau said inspiration, "Do you want to open a hole in the door so that the mice can run into the cage through the pipe? Let's find a way to scare the mice and force them to escape from the pipe road. Once they enter the cage, they are blocked by the mechanism to retreat. In this way, they can only enter but not exit, and we can capture them all alive!"

"I can't tell whether I can catch any of them without falling, but as long as I can catch the vast majority, other sporadic 'skirt fish' run out or be locked inside, it's easier and safer to deal with it than such a large group." Du Juan nodded. Her idea was indeed like this, but she couldn't tell whether the feasibility was high. "That mechanism is also relatively simple. It's just a seesaw at the entrance of the cage. When the mouse runs over from outside, it can rely on its own weight to press down the originally raised end, so that it will enter the cage. Once the weight of the mouse is not pressed on the head, the board will rise again and block the retreat. The program I watched before was designed, but the program only captures a single mouse, using drink bottles and other things. We need to solve a group of people this time."

"Well, I think this idea is quite good. Let's see if the props you need can be solved first." Dai Xu had already understood after listening to Du Juan's explanation, so he nodded and went out to find nearby villagers to ask if he could provide tools and materials or help make this large mousetrap.

In this small village, perhaps too high-end and advanced high-tech mouse-catching equipment is difficult to find. The materials needed for Du Juan’s idea just now are easy to obtain. The villagers watching outside are also very enthusiastic. Dai Xu prepared all the tools they needed and brought them back. The next question was the installation and implementation. While everyone was busy dealing with these things, Tang Hongye suddenly walked to Du Juan who was trying to help, reached out to hold her arm, and pulled her aside.

"It's almost done. Go to the side and stand far away, don't cause trouble." He frowned and said to Du Juan.

"Tang Hongye, you're a little too much. How do you say this..." Fang Yuan whispered to him from the side.

"You don't understand," Tang Hongye was helpless and a little aggrieved when Fang Yuan said this, "Oh, forget it, let's not talk about it, I'll help you and get the mice out quickly to get in and deal with the scene."

The square circle I had to do was not helpful, so I accompanied Du Juan to the side. I quickly opened a gap on the door of the warehouse, and then blocked the pipe covered with black cloth and the cage covered with black cloth at the entrance of the door. Several other people completely removed the wooden boards of the window, shone the flashlight inside, and reached into the door while a long wooden stick was inserted to disturb the big mouse inside.

The big mice really began to flee around, trying to find a way out, and gradually discovered the newly opened holes on the door and drilled towards this side. The pipe made a shiver sound because the big mice ran through it, and gradually the rats squeaked in the cage. The big mice inside tried to escape and began to tremble caused by the trembling caused by the cage.

Du Juan stood aside. Because she was pulled away by Tang Hongye just now, she stood far away from the squirrel cage, but her face became paler and paler, and her expression looked very nervous. She hid her fists slightly with her hands.

"Are you afraid of mice?" Fang Yuan was stunned when he saw Du Juan's reaction.

Du Juan nodded embarrassedly: "Well, I have been very scared since I was a child. I can overcome everything else, but I am afraid of mice. I really can't overcome it. I feel uncomfortable when I see it."

Fang Yuan looked at Tang Hongye who was helping over there, and nodded in a clear way.

After a while, there were rats crying in the covered cage, and the cage kept trembling. It was obvious that the big mice inside were desperately trying to break free from the cage. The circular tube connecting the hole in the door and the cage was quiet. It seemed that the mice should have almost ran away.

So everyone took away the things. The cage used to lock the rats was a large iron chicken cage that was temporarily carried from the neighbor's house. It was nearly 1.5 meters long and seventy or eighty centimeters tall. It weighed more than ten pounds. Now there are so many big mice inside, and no one can carry them. Finally, they were carried by two male policemen to the yard where they were not in trouble. During this process, the black cloth that was originally covered on it was torn off.

Someone was shocked. The rats in the cage were really big enough. The smallest ones inside were larger than the rats I saw on weekdays. Those who were larger in size were almost catching up with the red squirrel. And at first glance, I felt that the black cage was so dark that I could not tell how many of them were. Even Tang Hongye, who had just spyed on the situation inside, was still a little surprised to see the big rat in front of me.

Not only them, but even the villagers who were watching the fun outside the cordon outside the yard were shocked when they saw the rats in this big cage and were talking a lot. Many people said that although they lived in a rural environment, it was the first time they had seen such a large number of mice in their lives, not to mention that these mice were so fat and big, and they were not the kind of mice that they could see in small warehouses in the fields.

Tang Hongye heard the villagers talking nonsense outside, and he was a little confused. He frowned and was a little confused: "So many big rats were deliberately locked up with the deceased, and the deceased was still gnawed. This person could not have been bitten to death by the rat, right?"

At this time, Du Juan had returned to the nearest of the small warehouse. The warehouse door was opened. The wooden board had just been lifted off the small window that was originally sealed. Now, the situation inside the small warehouse can be clearly seen through the natural light outside. There is a male deceased who was supposed to be lying down to the ground from the clothes. The limbs exposed to the short-sleeved tops and shorts can be clearly seen. However, there was no blood on the scene. The deceased probably had been dead here for a few days. It is early summer. City A is cooler in the morning and evening, and the temperature can reach 26 or 7 degrees at noon, and it will occasionally be higher. The small warehouse is cooler and dry, and the temperature is several degrees lower than the outdoors, but you can already smell a wave of rotten smell.

Du Juan was not so afraid of things like dead bodies. Although she was not very familiar with everyone except Tang Hongye, she still tried her best to help deal with things within her ability. At this time, Criminal Skills and forensic colleagues also began on-site inspection work. The person who came to the scene was Forensic Liu from the Public Security Bureau of City A who was familiar with them. He was also interested in the deceased who lived in the same room with rats.

"No," Liu, forensic doctor Liu, while examining the body, heard Tang Hongye's question, and answered him, "Generally speaking, people who have no ability to move may be bitten by rats. Infants and young children who have no ability to move have also had cases of being bitten by rats, but the deceased is obviously not. Judging from the situation at the scene, there is no obvious blood. Many wounds on the body were formed by rats after death. They were not injured before their death. He is also a tall adult male. He was bitten by rats without dodging and evading. The possibility of death is very small, even a group of mice."

"Can you find a fatal injury from the surface of your body?" Du Juan asked carefully.
