Chapter 385 The age of the deceased

Da Zhao rolled his eyes at the three of them, as if he hated iron but could not make steel.

"Can you guys do it? If not, don't watch it. Go back and watch the video later. It's still November. What will you do if it's summer?"

The three of them were more embarrassed than uncomfortable at this time, but their nausea was uncontrollable. They all lowered their heads and kept adjusting their breathing. Zhou Ning stepped forward and helped forensic doctor Cao place the body parts on the autopsy table piece by piece.

After placing it properly, Zhou Ning did not look at it in a hurry, but waved his hand towards Xiao Qu behind him.

"Use the equipment we have assembled to take pictures of the body parts first."

Xiao Qu quickly moved. In fact, these things had been done early. As the film was taken, the status of each corpse was displayed on the monitor in the autopsy room. Zhou Ning raised his head and looked at the monitor.

There were multiple linear fractures in the ribs of the deceased. Looking at the location of the fractures, it can be concluded that these were injuries caused during the dismemberment of the body, not injuries sustained during life.

There were no other injuries to the bones of the limbs and spine, which was consistent with Zhou Ning's initial guess.

Zhou Ning withdrew his gaze and looked at the piece of corpse with the fetus on the autopsy table. The abdominal skin of the deceased on the front originally had rotten blisters, but now it has burst and there is a dense network of rotten veins.

Zhou Ning pinched the deceased's stomach. It was completely empty. He also checked up and down. There was not much intestinal content, but the head of the deceased was missing. This is really not easy to judge. Before death, the deceased had gastrointestinal tract.

There is still some food left after emptying.

Before forensic doctor Cao finished speaking, Zhou Ning turned around and walked to the body of the deceased. He directly found the piece in the upper abdomen and distinguished it. All parts of the digestive tract of the deceased were placed next to the piece of body in the back of the lower abdomen.

.

After not waiting long, Forensic Doctor Cao hung up the phone and ran over quickly, with a hint of surprise on his face. After all, blood glucose testing is very fast.

Liu Yongxin took a tray with the pubic symphysis and dragged another intern Pang Tianhang. The two went straight to the pressure cooker. Pang Tianhang was already stiff. Zhou Ning glanced at it. This state was too real. He thought if he had been carried there.

High-pressure treatment of the pubic symphysis may cause leg weakness.

Zhou Ning took the scalpel and began the autopsy one by one, not sparing every part. He carefully observed and analyzed the traces of muscle rupture and the shape left by the cut surface.

"After extracting the body parts, I did a surface examination of the corpse, took videos and photos, and sent samples from all parts for examination. As for how much intracardiac blood could be collected, after all, I thought that if the identity of the deceased was found in the next step, I could also collect blood.

Comparison is not."

Zhou Ning nodded and quickly stopped the somewhat excited forensic doctor Cao.

Zhou Ning cut the umbilical cord, picked up the fetal body, and motioned to Da Zhao to bring over the electronic scale. Zhou Ning put it on it and checked the weight, and found that the fetus was only 1,980 grams.

Liu Yongxin took a look at the time, took Pang Tianhang and Zou Jialong over, took out the pubic symphysis, and rinsed it clean. These two people were indeed selected by Zhou Ning. Apart from anything else, this person's tolerance to odors is better than that of ordinary people.

It was too strong, and even with the pubic symphysis, both of them looked at the surface of the pubic symphysis curiously.

Zhou Ning made a move. A fetus that seemed to be fully developed, even though it was only nine months old, seemed a bit small. Could there be some disease in the mother's body?

In his mind, Zhou Ning suddenly realized a case he had seen when he was training in a small dark room. He looked up and looked for Cao Pingzhang. Liu Yongxin felt it and quickly pushed Cao Pingzhang.

Not long after, the two people walked in quickly, obviously they hadn't left at all.

The size of the body parts in the arms and legs on both sides are basically the same, and there is no unevenness. To be able to achieve this state of segmentation, one must understand the anatomy and be calm.

I think Forensic Doctor Cao can contact Detachment Huang to check the time period in major hospitals for prenatal check-ups and screening for pregnancy-induced hyperplasia and gestational diabetes. People with very high blood sugar index can then be checked one by one."

Cao Pingzhang was slightly stunned, but without asking a single word, he quickly took out his mobile phone, dialed a number, then walked to the door of the locker room and started talking there. Da Zhao had turned off the video recording function at this time.

Cao Pingzhang, who was standing next to Liu Yongxin, kept nodding and giving a thumbs up to Liu Yongxin, who leaned close to his ear.

Putting aside his thoughts, Zhou Ning ordered towards Zhao:

"Da Zhao makes an autopsy statement and turns on the video recorder."

Cao Pingzhang was a little excited. He held up his notebook and paper and wrote quickly, writing down what Zhou Ning just said.

They have heard of these before, but Dayao City has handled too few major criminal cases. It can be said that there has not been one in many years. If there is, it is only people who have come from the provincial department to set up a special task force.

Liu Yongxin came closer and glanced at the fetus on the scale. The weight and the status of the fetus. Liu Yongxin thought about it and said:

"You think the actual month of the fetus is a little bigger than it looks. You suspect that the deceased had pregnancy syndrome or gestational diabetes, so the fetal development was delayed, or the fetus was too small?"

Seeing Cao Pingzhang's surprised expression, Liu Yongxin folded his arms with satisfaction and looked at the dissecting table.

"Hurry over there, my apprentice is looking for you!"

In the film just now, the fetus is in the breech position with its knees bent and arms clasped across its chest. There is no damage to the bones. It can be said that everything is normal except for the breech position.

Cao Pingzhang came over and Zhou Ning quickly asked:

"Forensic Doctor Cao, I would like to ask, has the heart blood of the deceased been extracted before?"

After all, they had already discussed the process before coming here. The pubic symphysis is the easiest part to judge the age of the deceased. It must be extracted first. After all, the vulva and vagina of the deceased have been sampled.

There is not much corruption or deformation in the fetus's facial features, but the blood vessel network on the body surface is very dark in color. There are no deformities in the fetus's facial features and limbs, but the fetus is really small.

Moreover, the deceased was a pregnant woman of eight or nine months, who could do it?

Zhou Ning raised his head slightly. It seemed that he wanted the answer and had to go through the autopsy process to find it. After all, for the sake of caution, forensic doctor Cao did not check the gender of the fetus. He only saw on the DNA test report that it was a male fetus.

However, this value of 16.7mmol/L is indeed high enough even for postprandial blood sugar.

The two men looked at each other and nodded seriously.

Of course, with this action, it seemed that the smell of the anatomy room rose to another level. Wang Henjian was the first to rush out. Zhou Ning did not stop moving, peeling off the fetus, then put it on one side and inspected it carefully.

Fan.

Liu Yongxin nodded, with hope on his face.

Zhou Ning ignored those people and carefully observed the transverse crest, transverse groove, pubic tubercle, lower end, dorsal edge, upper bone tubercle, ventral inclination, edge of the pubic symphysis, seven landmark locations

form.

As for the other body parts, Zhou Ning checked the body surface one by one. The fractures of the dismembered bodies were very neat, and they were cut close to the joints. As for the ribs, it seemed that they were split horizontally with an ax or hatchet, otherwise it would not be possible.

Can cause linear fractures of ribs.

Team Huang and Team Wu did not urge them, and Zhou Ning raised his hands apologetically towards them.

During the X-ray examination, it felt that the fetus was at eight or nine months. But now that he saw the original appearance of the fetus, Zhou Ning could conclude that the actual month of the fetus should be at least nine months, or even close to forty weeks.

Zhou Ning had just checked and found no traces of invasion. The deceased's skin was fair, and there were no obvious scars or other characteristic signs on the trunk and limbs. Even the scars from the cowpox vaccine could not be seen clearly. This was very rare.

"Don't be surprised. This guy has been working with my precious apprentice for two years. He is very skilled. He is still just a trace inspector."

"The deceased was dismembered and thrown into the water. The body parts were in a high state of decay. Based on the air and water temperatures at the end of October, it can be inferred that the deceased died around October 20. I personally think that the state of the fetus is close to forty weeks. Based on your previous reports,

Inference, then we can give a search range.

Zhou Ning nodded slowly, but the phone number in Forensic Doctor Cao's hand had already been dialed. He quickly said something, asking Team Huang and Team Wu to come in and listen together. After all, there was still a deviation in the report. It would be easier to listen to Zhou Ning's words.

The accuracy of intermediate relief is also higher.

Zhou Ning smiled, it seemed that his master understood him.

"Indeed, let's wait for the result."

"Judging from the face, the fetus is fully developed, but the head circumference and weight are really a bit mismatched. I think the fetus should be close to term. Let's wait for them to test it. This is very fast. If we can go in this direction

Searching, I want the search range to be much smaller."

"I read the test report before and found that there was no blood sugar test for the deceased. Since intracardiac blood was retained, I contacted the laboratory department and did a quick blood sugar monitoring for the deceased. I want to know the blood sugar value of the deceased."

Da Zhao did not shirk, he hurried closer, cleared his throat, turned on the video recorder, and began to introduce quickly, covering almost all the information mentioned last night, and the various numbers and time points were very accurate.

The inner peritoneum and the uterus were considered intact, but they were cut at the bottom near the pubic symphysis. There were teeth marks on the cut with forceps. It seemed that forensic doctor Cao collected the fetal DNA from here, but did not completely remove the fetus.

This is not killing a chicken, this is a pregnant woman with a child, a living person, who can calmly divide the body parts and consider the left and right sides to be equal, which is terrifying.

"Wait a moment, I will take a look at the pubic symphysis of the deceased and try to give the age range of the deceased. This will be more conducive to your further search."

The deceased was between thirty-six and forty weeks pregnant, so her pregnancy time was approximately from early February to early March. Nowadays, people pay great attention to pregnancy and have a child, and almost no one does not go for a checkup. After the file is established, different tests are usually done according to each month.

examine.

"Don't worry, I think Zhou Ning hasn't finished speaking yet."

Screening for hypertensive syndrome and gestational diabetes is usually performed between 24 and 28 weeks, which is when you are six to seven months pregnant. If we work backwards, this examination will be done between August 1 and August 28.

of.

Just as he was about to turn around, he was stopped by Liu Yongxin.

In the last step, the uterine wall is gently opened and the fetus is exposed.

These were in the small dark room. He had been trained for a month, and only the pubic symphysis was given to distinguish the age of the deceased, so it was not difficult for Zhou Ning. After looking at it, Zhou Ning raised his head.

"The blood sugar of the deceased was 16.7mmol/L, which is quite high. I didn't even think about it at the time."

Zhou Ning directly took the pubic symphysis of the deceased, and then took a look at Liu Yongxin. He was either a newcomer or a trace examiner. Forensic doctor Cao Zhou Ning could not say anything else, but Liu Yongxin didn't waste any words and hurried over.

"The deceased was aged between 20-24 years old."

"Director Zhou, are you sure?"

Facing the suspicious detachment Huang, Zhou Ning paused.

"Sure, of course I haven't finished speaking yet. Do you want to hear my thoughts on the inference of occupation?"
