Death sentence turned into acquittal? Who told him to be a detective!

Chapter 11: Corpses from Seven Years Ago, Three Dead!
Someone died.
Police dug up a body!

June 4th, 00:16
In the deathly silence of the forest at night, as the police untied the sack...
A body has been dug out!
The group stayed up all night, loading the body onto the vehicle and transporting it to the funeral home overnight.

The Hongfu Brigade does not have a forensic doctor. These days, forensic doctors are rarer than pandas, and it is impossible to have one in every brigade. There is only one in the entire Hanhai City, and he is also involved in other cases.

Therefore, the brigade does not have a dedicated forensic room, and when they encounter a corpse, they will temporarily store it in the funeral home!

As for autopsies, since the forensic pathologists were unavailable, Chen Changchun would need to find a professional doctor.

only.
"Will you pay extra?"

On the way to transport the body, Xu Liang, who was in the back seat, suddenly asked a question.

Chen Changchun was stunned, his hand holding the phone froze in mid-air.

"what?"

"Should I pay more?"

Xu Liang smiled slightly.

"Pay extra for a brand new autopsy report!"

He studied to become a psychologist, has a thorough understanding of human anatomy, and has the experience of being a criminal police officer in his previous life.
If he wanted, he could easily switch careers to become a forensic doctor!
just
"You have this skill too!?"

Chen Changchun was stunned.

"I am a lawyer, and I often encounter various unexpected events, especially in criminal cases where there are many corpses. It's normal for me to be able to perform autopsies."

Xu Liang said this, his eyes suddenly becoming serious.

So, shall we add it?

Chen Changchun gritted his teeth.

"add!"

June 4th.

Six o'clock in the morning.

"The deceased had completely decomposed into skeletons, with the surface of the bones yellowish and some parts grayish-brown."

“The surface cracks increase and deepen, the articular cartilage disappears completely, the cracks begin to penetrate the bone, and even breakage occurs, but it is not obvious.”

"Based on this, the degree of weathering is determined to be between stage two and stage three."

"The time of death was seven years ago."

Inside the funeral home.

At this moment, Xu Liang was standing in the morgue. In front of him was a mortuary bed with a skeleton dressed in tattered clothes on it.

There was still some clay stuck to the bones.

He bent down, his eyes fixed on every detail of the corpse.

"The pelvic inlet is round in shape, the greater ischial notch is wide and shallow, and the pubic symphysis is located there."

"Preliminary assessment indicates the deceased was female."

“死者颅骨矢状缝闭合 1/2，冠状缝闭合 1/3，人字缝开始闭合，年龄判断在30—40之间。”

"However, there was no osteophyte formation at the edges of the lumbar and thoracic vertebrae, so the deceased should be under 40 years old and under 35 years old."

A wealth of information and various technical terms came from Xu Liang's mouth.

Liu Jin and Chen Changchun, who were standing nearby, quickly wrote it down.

Finally, a complete message emerged.

The deceased was a woman, 163 cm tall, around 35 years old, and died seven years ago.

"The cause of death was a skull fracture leading to brain hemorrhage. The wound was sharp and pointed, resembling the corner of a brick."

"Judging from the bone wear, the deceased must have been engaged in heavy physical labor for a long time before his death."

Xu Liang shifted his gaze from the corpse to the people around him.

The body from seven years ago
The police only found out now!

In fact, if Xu Liang hadn't realized that Chen Jian and his wife had a problem, or if Chen Wei hadn't had the accident, even if they had waited another seven years, no one would have known that someone had died!

Thinking of this.

Chen Changchun's face turned extremely ugly, and his fists clenched involuntarily.

Even though the morgue was very cold and damp, his heart grew increasingly restless.

"Now is not the time to be angry."

Xu Liang glanced at him and said:

"Have the internal affairs department check the missing persons case and see the specific information about the deceased."

Upon hearing this, Chen Changchun took a deep breath and suppressed the restlessness in his heart.

There were no useful clues left on the surface of the body.

But what Xu Liang said was enough to help them pinpoint the deceased's personal file!

He glanced at Liu Jin, who then walked aside and made a phone call. A long while passed.

A police car arrived outside the funeral home.

The person getting off the bus handed a document to Chen Changchun.

"Based on the information about the deceased's appearance, the internal staff quickly identified a missing person case from seven years ago."

"The missing person is named Zhang Cui, 33 years old, from Chenjia Village. She is from the same village as Chen Jian. She is pregnant with a boy and a girl. Her husband is named Chen Hua."

"One day, a neighbor heard a fight and called the police. When the police arrived at the scene, they did not see Zhang Cui. Chen Hua was covered in injuries and in a depressed mood. He claimed that they had a fight and Zhang Cui had run away from home."

Chen Changchun glanced at the document.

As they spoke, the surrounding air gradually solidified.

"When the police wanted to conduct an in-depth investigation, Chenjia Village was hit by demolition, and the buildings were demolished."

"At this point, the matter was left unresolved and recorded as a missing person case."

"It has only been brought up again now."

After speaking, Chen Changchun's face turned extremely ugly.

The fact that such a flawed case was not resolved back then is most likely because Chen Jian, the village chief, led a group to obstruct it.

In villages undergoing demolition, villagers won't let the police delay the demolition process because of something happening to one household. With a little intervention from Chen Jian, the case can be dropped!

"Based on the current situation, Zhang Cui should have been murdered by Chen Jian."

"And Chen Hua should also know about this."

Wang Chao spoke thoughtfully, beginning to use his super brain.

Chen Hua was in low spirits, which clearly indicated that he knew Zhang Cui had an accident; otherwise, he should have been extremely anxious and called the police on his own initiative!
Based on their previous speculation, there was a deep conflict between the deceased and the murderer.
"Could Chen Hua have killed the person?!"

Wang Chao's eyes widened as he scanned the crowd.

Chen Changchun and the others nodded, without denying it.

"The probability is very high!"

A man watched his wife die and was completely powerless to do anything about it.

Even when the police come knocking on your door, you don't dare to tell them.
"There must be other reasons as well."

Xu Liang suddenly spoke, staring intently at Chen Changchun.

The reason why prolonged emotional build-up leads to a person's outburst is that the conflict never disappears.

Otherwise, the emotions should have faded over time.

Only a few ruthless people will remember it forever!
Chen Hua didn't erupt when Zhang Cui died, and seven years have passed, so logically there shouldn't be any possibility of him erupting then either.

"You're right."

Chen Changchun sighed deeply.

He then pulled out another document that the police officer had handed him.

"The office staff felt that Chen Hua sounded familiar, so they investigated further."

"It has been discovered that a suicide occurred in Hongfu District four years ago."

"The deceased was named Chen Qingqing, female, 22 years old. She had multiple self-harm injuries on her body and had jumped off the Hongfu Bridge, where she was swept away by the river and drowned."

"The police retrieved the body downstream and brought it back to the police station. The person who came to claim it was Chen Hua!"

Someone else died!?
Everyone gasped, as if a nuclear bomb had exploded in their heads, leaving their minds completely blank.

"Chen Hua is her father?"

Xu Liang frowned.

He remembered that Zhang Cui had a son and a daughter, which was unusual considering that people in the countryside would get married and have children at the age of seventeen or eighteen.

This age range is quite suitable.

Chen Changchun took a deep breath and nodded.

"How come one of them died?!"

Liu Jin frowned, unable to understand what had happened back then.

As he was thinking, he suddenly realized something.

"Is it related to Zhang Cui's death seven years ago?"

"She and Zhang Cui couldn't have had their problems at the same time, but Zhang Cui died on the spot, while Chen Qingqing committed suicide four years ago, right?!"

No one objected.

But if that's the case.

That.
What exactly happened seven years ago?
This resulted in one person dying on the spot, another committing suicide four years later, and now Chen Wei has been killed in retaliation!
