what's in the depths

Zhu Yuhan put the contents of the pot and the woman's skin into a body bag, grabbed a few maggots and put them into an evidence bag, and hurriedly fled the kitchen without staying for another moment.

This time it will be difficult for Chu Rong.

Zhu Yuhan squatted down and took pictures of the bloodstains to collect evidence.

The bloodstains were in the form of radiating rubbing. It seemed that the deceased was killed first and then dragged to the kitchen to dismember and skin the corpse.

And the outer skin is so completely peeled, it is impossible for an ordinary person except doctors and butchers to have such superb techniques.

Doctor and butcher?

It suddenly occurred to me that when I was discussing the case of the boy in red with Chu Rong the day before yesterday, I also locked the murderer in these two professions.

Zhu Yuhan bypassed the crowd and walked into the bedroom. There was a wedding photo hanging on the wall, which made her look a bit aged.

The woman in the photo is wearing a wedding dress that was popular more than ten years ago, smiling sweetly;

The husband held her in his arms and kissed her forehead lightly. The two seemed to have a very good relationship.

The old lady outside was still crying and almost fainted a few times, Zhou Xiaoran took her away from the scene of the crime after trying to say something.

"By comparing the figure and hair of the woman in the photo, the deceased is the hostess of this house." Zhu Yuhan put down the SLR and looked at this very warmly furnished bedroom.

The bed was neatly made, and there was a pair of porcelain sculptures of mandarin ducks on the bedside table.

"Where's his husband?" Fu Huaiyu turned to Xue Yuan and asked.

Xue Yuan raised his phone: "It has been notified that the male master is currently on a business trip, bought a plane ticket, and will return now."

"How's the mood?"

"I didn't believe it at first, called me a liar, and said ugly things, but then I didn't believe it until I received a call from the police station, which will arrive in about two and a half hours."

The footprints collected at the scene and the fingerprints on the handle of the pot, the skin of the human body and the body parts need to be sent to Chu Rong for further testing of the time of death.

"I searched all the rooms, but I didn't find the torso structure." Fu Huaiyu took off his gloves, and waved to the team members to signal to withdraw.

"Not in the fridge either?"

"No, the refrigerator is full of cooked food that has been stored for a long time, and it has been frosted." Fu Huaiyu stepped out of the room.

"Shuanghua?" Zhu Yuhan narrowed his eyes.

Fu Huaiyu nodded: "Generally, the growth cycle of maggots is about seven days, but the frosting time is very long, it may take a month, that is to say, the food in the refrigerator was a month ago, but the death time of the deceased was nearly seven days, and you don't think it's strange ?"

Zhu Yuhan looked up at the wall-mounted air conditioner in the bedroom, and after a long while, said slowly:

"Fly eggs hatch at a temperature of 28 to [-] degrees Celsius, but now it's the beginning of spring and it's just getting warmer. The temperature is still not high, and it doesn't attract flies so quickly."

Fu Huaiyu rested his chin thoughtfully for a moment, then turned to Xue Yuan and said, "Go to the property and check the electricity consumption records and community monitoring records of this house in the past 30 days."

Xue Yuan covered his mouth, barely stopped retching, nodded, and fled the crime scene in a hurry.

"Go to Churong Research Institute first."

After closing the team, several people went straight to Churong Research Institute.

Seeing the people in the serious crime team, Chu Rong really has two big heads.

"It's so fucking insane. Director Hu came down to inspect, but he hasn't left yet. The case of the boy in red has not been solved yet, yet another skinned and mutilated body came. Well, there will be another scolding tonight."

Zhu Yuhan took out his cigarette, and the lighter failed after lighting for a long time. He threw it on the table irritably, nestled on the sofa and stared at the ceiling in a daze.

Chu Rong smiled, put on the goggles, and opened the body bag: "As you said, it may be a provocation."

The human skin was pulled out of the body bag by Chu Rong and placed on the mortuary table. Chu Rong looked over the scars of the skin:

"The cut marks are perfect. It seems that the murderer is a professional who is good at using knives."

"The butcher or the doctor again?"

Chu Rong nodded, then called an assistant, and handed the evidence bag containing the maggots to the assistant: "You go and test the type of maggots first, judge the growth cycle of the maggots, and write the report to me."

The assistant took the evidence bag, picked up the maggots with tweezers, put them on a glass slide, and put them under a microscope for observation.

"There are three valves in the tail, which is the adult stage."

"What about the species?"

"It cannot be determined now, and further cultivation of maggots is needed to determine the type of fly."

Chu Rong lifted the outer skin and looked at the marks of the incision: "The outer skin is white and wrinkled, and there is no moisture on the body surface. The death time is more than a week, but within three weeks."

"That's right, the weather is not so warm now, it will take a while to attract the flies."

"The corpse has been cooked, can DNA be tested?" Zhu Yuhan couldn't help asking.

"It's very troublesome, but I can get some clues through the bone tissue. Let's take a look first. It's not so fast. Team leader Fu has been urging the autopsy report of the boy in red. This, we have to go to the back row."

Zhu Yuhan held his head and sighed endlessly like an old man.

"Why, are you afraid of being scolded for a while?"

Zhu Yuhan shook his head: "It's not...in fact, what I'm afraid of is the instability of this society. I don't know how many criminals are hiding in the dark."

Chu Rong shrugged: "There is no way. We can't participate in everyone's life experience, let alone change everyone who has a criminal mentality. What we can do is to find out the truth, that's all."

Perhaps what Chu Rong said was right, there must be a reason for the incident, and the occurrence of any case is not accidental.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, I received a record from Xue Yuan.

At five o'clock in the afternoon thirteen days ago and four o'clock in the afternoon five days ago, a delivery man entered and exited the building where the deceased lived, but the hostess of the family never left the house.

According to the electricity consumption records, the electricity consumption has been very high in the past week, but the power was cut off yesterday due to arrears.

The reasons for the increase in electricity consumption are probably air conditioners and water heaters.

"Contact this food delivery company immediately to search for all registered delivery staff." Zhu Yuhan pinched out his cigarette and began to put on his coat.

"Zhu team, the deceased's husband is here." Zhou Xiaoran pushed the door open and entered.

"Remember to knock on the door next time." Zhu Yuhan frowned, put on his coat, and walked out of the office.

Leaving Zhou Xiaoran nodding awkwardly.

The husband of the deceased, Li Xinzhi, was wearing a pair of high myopia glasses and looked refined.

After investigation, Li Xinzhi was the legal representative of a pharmaceutical company and was invited to attend an academic exchange meeting in a neighboring province two weeks ago.

Having seen his wife die tragically, Li Xinzhi still couldn't believe it, and asked the police over and over again to confirm the identity of the deceased.

"The DNA test didn't come out that quickly, but judging from the external characteristics alone, it's your wife." Fu Huaiyu interrupted Li Xinzhi's chatter.

Li Xinzhi froze for a moment, then covered his face with his hands, and kept banging his head against the corner of the table.

Zhu Yuhan quickly stopped him: "We are also responsible for this kind of thing. We understand your grief, but now you should cheer up and help the police solve the case as soon as possible."

"My wife and I have been married for ten years. Ten years ago, I originally said that I would take her to travel to Australia in the spring of this year, but what I was waiting for was this kind of news. How can you accept it!" Li Xinzhi slammed the case, The veins on his forehead popped up, and he was very emotional.

"Mr. Li, calm down." Zhu Yuhan held him down: "We will catch the criminal as soon as possible and give you justice."

"Fair?" Li Xinzhi's eyes widened: "If the criminal is brought to justice, will the crime disappear? Will my wife be able to come back!"

Li Xinzhi was furious, grabbed Zhu Yuhan by the collar and forced him to a corner, roaring loudly: "Tell me! What is justice! What justice can redeem!"

"Sir, please calm down." Fu Huaiyu intervened between the two of them, keeping Zhu Yuhan behind him: "Justice can't undo anything, and neither can your loss of control."

Seeing that the situation is not good, Tong Si hurried over to help hold Li Xinzhi, trying to calm him down.

On the other side are the family members of the deceased crying at their desks;

This is the helpless people's police;

What awaits them is not only accountability from their superiors, but also justice from netizens.

Fu Huaiyu rubbed his waist, and took the family information of the deceased handed in by Xue Yuan.

Li Xinzhi and the deceased Tan Fangfang were married ten years ago. Due to physical reasons, Li Xinzhi and Tan Fangfang have never had children. They planned to go to an orphanage to adopt a baby this year. The promise has not been fulfilled, but his wife passed away in this way.

In stark contrast to Li Xinzhi, are the parents of Cai Zhijie, the deceased in the boy in red case.

They looked too calm, they didn't look like their only son who died tragically at home, but more like strangers who had nothing to do with them.

Fu Huaiyu looked at the family files on the screen, carefully read them, and suddenly found that the husband of the deceased, Li Xinzhi, had been the legal representative of the pharmaceutical company three years ago. Before that, he was a cardiologist at the municipal hospital. The accident took the blame and resigned.

And this medical accident happened when the chief surgeon accidentally left the scalpel in the patient's body during bypass surgery.

Although it was taken out immediately and did not cause any impact on the patient's body, for the chief surgeon, a small mistake may cost a life.

Fu Huaiyu rested his chin, and the blue light from the computer screen cast on his face.

"Doctor..."

------------

The investigation of the food delivery staff is a big project, because the police forcefully intervened in the investigation and the food delivery platform was forced to shut down.

"That afternoon, there were thousands of orders in Tianyipan City. In the past, there were hundreds of people who delivered food, and many food delivery workers did not only deliver food in one place, but were part-time jobs without signing a contract. If you look for it like this, you have to find it. When will it be tall, please do me a favor, don't bother us little people."

It was the person in charge of the food delivery platform with a big belly who spoke, and he was full of impatience: "Death is a big deal, and the life of our little people is a little deal?"

Full of nonsense, absolutely absurd.

"Let me tell you, the culprit is probably the food delivery person on your platform. Stop talking nonsense. If you don't cooperate with the investigation, you will be detained for obstructing the case."

The person in charge held a cigar and smiled mockingly: "The police are very patient now, don't think about it, without us taxpayers, you are still drinking northwest wind."

Zhu Yuhan slapped the table: "Say it again!"

Tong Si hurried up to stop him, and dragged Zhu Yuhan out: "The person in charge is a hooligan, and you can't get anything good with him, so don't talk about it for a while."

Zhu Yuhan got into the police car and slammed the door hard, feeling sulking all by himself.

Tong Si quickly followed in, and patted Zhu Yuhan on the shoulder to express his comfort:

"Go to Chu's forensic medicine institute in a while to see if he has made any progress. Even if you are angry, you will not be able to get results."

"I'm going to leave my words here today. If the criminal is really the food delivery person of the platform, I will ask him to suspend his business for rectification."

Zhu Yuhan slammed the steering wheel angrily, and the sound of the horn made the kitten, which was taking a nap under the car, howl, and got out and ran away.

Seeing Zhu Yuhan who was full of displeasure, Chu Rong smiled first:

"Why are you like a gas bag, who provoked you."

As he spoke, Chu Rong raised his hand to caress Zhu Yuhan's cheek.
