Super Time Detective

Zhao Cuihua leaned on the window sill and watched several police officers pass through the back street and ran out of sight. Then she let out a long sigh of relief and closed the window tightly with her backhand.

Then he hurried to the bed, tore off the messy quilt, pillows and clothes, tore off the sheets, and moved the thin mattress.

It's not actually a bed at all, but a rectangle made of corrugated fruit boxes around the outer circle, and then a mattress is built on top of it, sheets are laid, and bedding is put on it.

However, the interior enclosed by the corrugated box is hollow. Yin Jiaming is curling up his tall body, leaning against the wall sideways, hugging his rucksack and squeezing into the small gap.

"Brother Ming, the police are gone!"

Zhao Cuihua reached out and pulled Yin Jiaming up.

"Cuihua, thank you."

It was really dangerous just now, if Zhao Cuihua was not smart, Yin Jiaming felt that he would definitely be stopped by the police, "Fortunately, you are smart and understood my message."

Zhao Cuihua laughed, patted the pager hanging on her waist, and gave Yin Jiaming a thumbs-up, "It's easy to say, our brothers have a good understanding!"

When Yin Jiaming and his younger brothers visited Cuihua's grandfather's house for the first time, the old man was so happy that he cooked for them himself.

It's a pity that Cuihua's grandfather has a bad memory because he is old, and he forgot to watch the fire. A sling of crispy roast pork in the stove was overcooked, and the crispy skin was burnt.

In the Jincheng dialect, "burning" is called "burning", and the word "燶" has a similar pronunciation to "cage".It happened that the small building of the old man's house was in "pig cage alley", and there were pigs and cages, which was an unexpected coincidence.

From then on, whenever Zhao Cuihua invited everyone to her grandfather's house, she would yell, "I'm going to eat 'roasted pig' tonight!"

This time, Yin Jiaming used the name of "Lisa of Haogang" to leave a message to Zhao Cuihua, "When will we eat crispy roast pork again?", using a code word that only they knew, and told Zhao Cuihua that she was near his grandfather's house right now.

Of course, when Yin Jiaming left a message to Zhao Cuihua, he only thought of it as a backup. He was not sure whether Zhao Cuihua could really understand it, and he didn't expect it to be of much use.

But Yin Jiaming never imagined that he would be so unlucky that he would be called out in the street, bump into the police head-on, and be kicked out of N streets like a dog.

If it wasn't for Zhao Cuihua's response in time, he might have really fallen for it this time.

"But, Brother Ming..."

Zhao Cuihua retreated to the window, opened a gap, and glanced out, with a serious expression.

He is familiar with the terrain in this area, and he also knows that the police will definitely set up roadblocks at the only entrance and exit at Tangwei to prevent Yin Jiaming from escaping from the encirclement.

Although Police Officer Deng and the others were temporarily fooled away, they couldn't find anyone outside, so they would definitely turn back and search the small building inside and out.At that time, the golden cicada's method of shedding its shell will not be easy to use.

"What are you going to do now?"

Yin Jiaming smiled at Zhao Cuihua.

"Don't worry, I've thought about it all."

As he said that, he pointed out the door, "I plan to go from 'there'."

Zhao Cuihua followed the boss's instructions and looked out, with a blank expression, "Which side is 'over there'?"

Yin Jiaming replied:

"Go out the bathroom window, I'm going to walk the flood barrier."

There is a port next door to the end of the pond, and a high and long embankment in the middle separates the residential area from the coastline.

If Yin Jiaming can climb over the embankment, he will be considered as leaving the range of the end of the pond.

Although he had to walk in a large "C"-shaped circle around the coastline, at least he escaped from the encirclement of the police and was safe for the time being.

It's just that the flood embankment is very high and restricted by the terrain, it is not so easy to climb up.

Fortunately, this house was built on the side of the flood embankment. From the window of the toilet, the flood embankment was about four meters away.

Zhao Cuihua understood immediately, and hurriedly moved the long ladder in the yard together with Ah Hu, put one end on the window sill, and the other end protruded out of the window, and put it on the flood embankment.

"Brother Ming, take care of yourself."

Zhao Cuihua and Ah Hu didn't ask Yin Jiaming where he was hiding these few days or where he planned to go after that, but said goodbye to him solemnly:

"We all believe in you!"

&&&&&&&&&

At the same time, on the same day in 2021, July 7, at ten fifteen in the morning.

Ye Huairui, Zhang Mingming and Ouyang Tingting rushed to the place where the bones were found.

When the three got out of the car, the isolation belt had already been pulled up at the scene.

A police officer waved at them from a distance: "Dr. Ye, this way."

It was Officer Huang whom they had met only two days ago.

"what's the situation?"

The three of Ye Huairui walked through the isolation zone and walked towards Police Officer Huang, "Where is the body?"

"Well, here it is."

Officer Huang pointed forward, "It was just dug out this morning."

Ye Huairui looked forward following his instructions, and saw a hole dug in the ground, a dirty plastic sheet was exposed beside the hole, and there was something vaguely hidden under the plastic sheet.

After careful questioning, they realized that this was the case.

The wasteland where the body was found belonged to Fulan Village. The soil quality was not very good, and it was not too close to the village and the main road. There was not much interest in selling the land. It had been abandoned for many years without much development.

Last month, someone in the village planned to invest in digging a fish pond here, so they invited a construction team and picked an auspicious day to break the ground.

Unexpectedly, after only one day of digging, a corpse was dug up.

The corpse was wrapped in a red, white and blue tarpaulin. It was obvious that it had been buried in the ground for a long time, and only a handful of bones remained.

However, the posture of the tarpaulin-wrapped body did not look like a normal burial. The construction team immediately panicked and called the police.The police also felt that the scene was very suspicious, so they notified the forensic doctor to come to the scene to assist in the investigation.

The construction team's alarm was decisive, and most of the corpses were still buried in the soil.

The three of Ye Huairui first carefully surveyed and recorded the scene environment, and then they had to dig out the body.

They carefully dug up the earth that buried the bones, and soon discovered an important situation.

The bone was buried at a depth of about one meter underground, in a lying position, with its head facing southeast and feet facing northwest.

The corpse was wearing a very ordinary shirt and a pair of washed jeans, and the shoes were old-fashioned men's plastic sandals.

The clothes had been buried in the mud for quite a while, and the fabric of the shirt had been bitten by water-soaked insects and had rotted into strips.

As for the red, white and blue tarpaulin covering the corpse, it was well preserved.It's just that it's obviously not big enough to wrap a whole corpse, so the corpse's feet are almost completely exposed, and even one of the shoes is missing for some reason.

Officer Huang asked Ye Huairui:

"Can you tell how long this person has been dead?"

Ye Huairui put down the shovel in his hand and took a few breaths.

His physical fitness is really not good. After digging the soil for a long time, his arms have started to feel sore.

"The corpse has been ossified, and the soft tissue has completely dried up. It has been buried for at least ten years."

As Ye Huairui said, he squatted down and tapped the first molar on the right side of the mandible with his gloved finger.

"Here, see? A gold tooth."

He said to Officer Huang:

"This kind of alloy dentures have been out of use for many years, I think... probably something from the 90s."

"Huh!"

Officer Huang said:

"Does that mean that people have been dead for two or thirty years?"

Ye Huairui smiled: "It's hard to say."

"Oh! It's been buried underground for at least ten years!"

Officer Huang stood up and sighed:

"Not to mention anything else, it's not easy just to determine who this person is?"

The most difficult thing about this kind of ossified corpse is to identify the identity of the deceased. The longer the time, the more difficult it is.

To be honest, the police are also very afraid of encountering this kind of headless case, because the investigation is really very difficult, and it may not be possible to find out the ugly Yinmao.

But no matter how difficult it is, you have to check.

Ye Huairui comforted Officer Huang with a smile:

"At least, this bone is quite intact, which saves us a lot of effort."

&&&&&&&&&

The on-site inspection of the corpse in the wild takes a lot of time. In addition to Ye Huairui's efforts in excavating, collecting, counting and extracting the bones and other samples, it was already 04:30 in the afternoon when the bone corpse was returned to the forensic laboratory.

Ye Huairui was thinking about Yin Jiaming's situation, and wanted to go home straight away after work, but now a new case suddenly came, and Ye Huairui could only settle the bone corpse first.

They put the skeleton corpse on an empty dissecting table.

When the corpse was buried, it was wrapped in a tarpaulin, so when the bones were dug out, they basically remained in the same state as they were when they were buried in the soil, and even the most easily lost finger bones were not lost.

Ye Huairui carefully took apart the red, blue and white tarpaulin, completely exposing the whole dead bone.

"Brushes and sample bags."

He gave instructions to Ouyang Tingting.

The girl handed him what he wanted neatly.

Ye Huairui carefully opened the shirt of the deceased, swept off the soil around the waist of the skeleton, and put it into a sample bag.

"It looks like it was murder."

Zhang Mingming took pictures and made judgments at the side.

Indeed, although the shirt worn by the deceased was rotten, there was clearly a regular circular hole in the right breast—the mark left by the bullet.

The deceased was shot.

It's a pity that after Ye Huairui and the others took off the shirt of the deceased, they found another hole on the right back of the shirt. The two were of the same height and size, and they just overlapped completely.

This means that the bullet that killed the deceased caused a penetrating wound, and the most forensic bullet did not remain in the deceased.

In addition, Ye Huairui also found some banknotes in the shirt pocket of the deceased, and found two coins and three plastic casino chips in the back pocket of his jeans.

The banknotes were folded in half and stuffed in the inner chest pocket. They had been buried with the corpse for more than ten years, and they had long since become rotten and moldy.

In addition, it has been raining frequently recently, the soil has absorbed water, and even the paper fibers have been soaked, almost sticking to the fabric of the shirt, and it is difficult to peel it off.

Ye Huairui was afraid of damaging these fragile banknotes, so he didn't dare to take them off, so he could only cut off the entire pocket of the shirt first, and put it aside to dry.

At this point, the bones of the dead are temporarily settled.

Next, the forensic doctors have to inspect it, clean it, wash it, soak it, dry it, and finally enter the identification process.

But this is not a job that can be done in a short time, and there is no need to race against time.

"All right."

Ye Huairui looked up at the clock on the wall, it was already 45:[-].

He smiled at Zhang Mingming and Ouyang Tingting who had been with him to work overtime until now:

"The rest, continue tomorrow."
