I make a living solving crimes.

As the old saying goes.

The left eye twitching means wealth, the right eye twitching means...feudal superstition.

Li Laifu approached, his expression a little serious, "Chang Wei, the ministry just called and asked us to take over the floating corpse case."

The Dragon Team is defined as a special task force for major cases. Ordinary criminal cases will not be handed over to them unless Fei Changwei takes the initiative to investigate.

He hasn't been thinking about the big case these days.

He had heard about the floating corpse case, where two corpses appeared in Yutan Park in a row this week, but he did not inquire about the details.

"Isn't this a case from Haihe District? It's never been solved?"

"It was reported previously that someone drowned, but another person floated up today, so the ministry asked us to take over and investigate."

Chang Wei patted his head, it was this kind of bullshit again.

It was obvious that the ministry had doubts about the two previous drownings, so it asked Chang Wei to intervene.

It's all work that offends people.

......

No matter what they thought, the Haihe Public Security Bureau showed great enthusiasm for Chang Wei's arrival.

After the greetings, Chang Wei was looking through some documents in the small conference room.

The body found today has already started to swell, which means it is a giant.

The photo shows a man whose head was hit by a musket at close range. The iron sand had disfigured his face beyond recognition and his original facial features could not be seen.

There were more than ten old knife wounds on the body.

Because no details were captured, Chang Wei could not see more information in a short period of time.

He looked through the photos of the two floating corpses again.

All were male, with no obvious external injuries.

"Where is the previous autopsy report?"

The accompanying Criminal Investigation Captain Gao Youyi quickly found two pieces of paper in the file bag and handed them over.

Chang Wei took it and glanced at it, surprised and said: "Is that all the data?"

Gao Youyi's eyes flickered slightly, revealing a somewhat forced smile, and he said weakly: "We don't have a forensic doctor."

Chang Wei covered his forehead with his hands as he looked at the autopsy report in his hand, complaining in his heart, it can't be so sloppy even without a forensic doctor, right?

There is almost no useful information other than height and weight.

"The deceased has not been identified yet?"

"No."

"How did you determine that he died by drowning?"

"There were no external injuries on the two bodies, but there was dirt in their mouths."

The presence of dirt in the mouth is indeed one of the bases for determining drowning, but this is easy to fake. If you want to know the real situation, you should perform an autopsy to look at the lungs and throat.

But they don't have a forensic doctor, so Chang Wei can't force it.

The construction of forensic medicine in China had just started. In 1954, the Ministry of Justice Forensic Institute was established in Shanghai, and outstanding young talents were selected from hospitals across the country to study forensic knowledge.

How long will you study?

One year.

Even so, these trained forensic scientists are in great demand, with the first few batches divided up among various provinces and cities.

Comparing the photos of the three floating corpses, based on the swelling and the date of discovery, Chang Wei suspected that the three bodies died at a very close time.

"Where are the two bodies from before?"

"No one claimed it, so we burned it."

"Burned?"

"In the past, unclaimed bodies were cremated here, and burials require coffins..."

"What about today?"

“Today’s is still here.”

Chang Wei thought for a moment and said, "Arrange a car to send the body to Dongcheng District. They will send a forensic doctor this year to perform an autopsy to find out the cause of death."

As one of the fourth districts in the city, conditions in Dongcheng Branch are much better than those in Haihe District.

Of course, Chang Wei could call the Dongcheng District Branch’s forensic doctor, but it’s easy to imagine that there are no conditions for an autopsy here.

So the group hurried back to the Dongcheng Branch.

The newly assigned young forensic doctor was about twenty years old and was a little at a loss when facing Chang Wei.

He has been at the Dongcheng Branch for more than a month and hears this name almost every day.

Seeing his nervousness, Chang Wei smiled and casually found topics to chat with him, trying to make him relax.

"How may I address you?"

Chang Wei stretched out his hand.

The young forensic doctor rubbed his hands on his collar twice, took Chang Wei's outstretched hand and shook it, and said softly: "Team Leader Chang, my last name is Wei."

"Wow, you have the same last name as Director Wei. Wei what?"

"I, I don't know why, Director Wei and I are not related."

Chang Wei smiled and patted the back of his hand, "I'm asking you, what's your name, Wei What?"

The young forensic doctor finally realized that he had made a fool of himself. He felt even more embarrassed. He loosened his hand that had been tightly holding Chang Wei and rubbed it on the seam of his pants. "Team Leader Chang, my name is Wei Yuan."

Chang Wei nodded and said, "Let's go see the body first. Do you have a new mask?"

"Yes, yes."

"Okay, give me... give me two."

There are three bungalows in a corner of the police station compound far away from the office building. This was originally where the police station temporarily stored corpses. With the arrival of the forensic doctor, another room was separated out to be used as an autopsy room.

The deceased was now lying naked on the dissection table.

It's a bit of an exaggeration to call it a dissecting table. It's just a steel bed.

"Have you ever dissected a body before?"

"I did it when I was in school."

"What happens after you come to the precinct?"

"No, there are no bodies to be dissected this month. I usually just draw blood and check injuries."

As he spoke, Chang Wei followed Wei Yuan into the autopsy room.

Even with two layers of masks between them, he was still dizzy from the stench.

As for the appearance of the giant...he and Li Lai Fu had both experienced it once and didn't find it that scary.

Wu Jimao was a thick-skinned man. Besides being disgusted by the stench, he even went to the corpse and took a close look at it.

Others are a bit miserable.

As soon as she entered the autopsy room, Jiang Hongxia ran out and started vomiting, while Zhang Long, Zhao Hu and Ji Xiaowang held out for ten more seconds.

After getting used to the smell, Chang Wei walked to the dissecting table wearing gloves.

The deceased was a male, but it was difficult to determine his exact age because his face was completely destroyed.

If you want to determine the age of the deceased, you can look at the teeth, bones, and skin.

Chang Wei is not a forensic doctor, he can’t see it.

Wei Yuan is a forensic doctor, but he doesn't know how to do it either.

Chang Wei had the skills to take criminal photos. He took out a camera from his bag, carefully observed the physical signs of the deceased, and took photos to record them.

He put away the camera, took the measuring tape from Li Laifu, and said, "I say, you record it."

Li Lai Fu quickly took out his notebook and began to write down the autopsy results as he listened to Chang Wei's description.

"The deceased is an adult male, aged between 25 and 35, 169 cm tall, and weighs an estimated 130-140 catties. He has old knife wounds on his body... one, two, three... eleven, three of which have been sutured."

Chang Wei opened the dead man's mouth again and observed it, then pressed his teeth and continued, "The teeth are in poor condition, with many cavities, and there are weeds and stains in the mouth."

Li Laifu came over to ask, "Chang Wei, is there any explanation for this tooth?"

"Coarse grains require more chewing, and eating more will strengthen your teeth and reduce tooth decay. Fine grains do not require chewing, so they exercise your teeth less and are more susceptible to tooth decay."

"This person's teeth are in poor condition. Does that mean he usually eats refined grains?"

“It’s not absolute, but it’s valid information.”

Li Laifu said he had learned something.

Wei Yuan also said that he had learned something.
