I make a living solving crimes.

Chapter 248: The Last Section of the Journey

This was not the first time Chang Wei had observed giants and corpses. Apart from the unbearable smell, he was calm in other aspects.

"Can you dissect it?"

"You mean opening three chambers?" Wei Yuan stood straight, not making any excuses. "I've never done this before, but it should be no problem."

The three cavities refer to the cranial cavity, thoracic cavity, and abdominal cavity.

Chang Wei pointed to the dead man's throat and said, "There is a little bruise here. Open the throat first and check the larynx."

Wei Yuan found a brick and placed it under the neck of the deceased, exposing his throat. He then cut it open with a blade and scraped it a few times. After an inspection, he reported, "Team Leader Chang, this person's larynx is fractured. It should have been caused by a violent collision."

Li Lai Fu immediately recorded this information in a notebook.

Chang Wei's piercing eyes could not see through the flesh, and even the key parts were mosaics, so he could only rely on Wei Yuan to confirm his guess.

"Are there any signs of drowning on the throat?"

"No, he should have died before he entered the water." Wei Yuan answered while checking again, and asked: "Do you need me to open his chest and check the condition of his lungs to confirm it?"

"Yes, in addition to confirming whether it was drowning, you also need to see if it was suffocation. I want to know the real cause of his death."

The preliminary opinion of the Haicheng District Branch was that the death was caused by a homemade rifle fired at close range.

Chang Wei suspected that the murder was committed first and then the shooting, with the purpose of hiding the identity of the deceased.

There is no DNA technology here.

"Okay, this might take me a while... I'm not very skilled."

"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry." Chang Wei hesitated for a while and said, "After dissecting the chest cavity, I'll help you check the stomach contents."

"OK."

"Also check the tendons near the shoulder blades on your back to see if there are any differences between them and those of ordinary people."

Wei Yuan didn't know Chang Wei's purpose, but he nodded obediently.

Chang Wei did not hide his purpose. He also hoped that Wei Yuan's ability would become stronger and stronger. He explained: "This man has thick finger joints and rough skin on the palms and backs of his hands. I suspect he has practiced martial arts and is a gangster."

"Do you want to see if the tendons around his shoulder blades are also the cause?"

"Yes, people who practice boxing have to open their shoulders. Their shoulder tendons are more developed than those of normal people. I didn't see any wear and tear on his shoulder skin, but there was a noticeable rebound when I pressed on it."

Wei Yuan said he had learned something new.

Li Lai Fu listened carefully and then wrote it down in his notebook.

Wu Jimao ran over and poked the dead man's shoulder with his finger.

Finally, Chang Wei said apologetically: "If possible, it would be best to boil it. I want to see if there are any old injuries on his bones."

In fact, it can also be seen through X-rays.

But the precinct didn’t.

Wei Yuan's face turned pale, but he quickly recovered. He nodded woodenly and said, "I need to ask the bureau for some money. The branch doesn't have a pot that can cook corpses."

"Well, just say it's my opinion."

"Okay, Team Leader Chang."

The Dragon Team members who were listening in were truly enlightened today.

Not only does the body have to be dissected, but it also has to be cooked.

Coming out of the dissection room, everyone breathed in the fresh air happily.

Ji Xiaowang's face was still a little pale. He calmed down and said, "I'm not familiar with the capital. People who practice martial arts in Tianjin have their own circles. I don't know if there are any in the capital."

"Yes." Chang Wei confirmed, and said leisurely: "I didn't know before liberation, but after liberation they all liked to hang out on the overpass."

Jiang Hongxia listened to their discussion, thought for a moment, and asked in confusion: "Chang Wei, is this deceased person together with the previous two people?"

"Not sure. Judging from the time of death, it's relatively close."

"But, the two previous people had no external injuries, but this person's face was blown to pieces."

"If they were together, it means that the two people before were strangers, and the murderer is not afraid of us finding out their identities. And this person is a local of Beijing, and even has some fame."

Everyone was thoughtful.

Dissecting a body is not a quick task, let alone cooking it.

Chang Wei did not stay here to watch.

There was nothing particularly urgent about this case, so as it was getting dark, he decided to go home and come back tomorrow to get the autopsy report.

Li Laifu and Wu Jimao, two ruthless guys, actually wanted to stay and help.

Chang Wei didn't force them, fearing that they would be late, so he left the car to Li Lai Fu and strolled home.

The sunset glowed all over the sky, like a burning flame, enveloping the whole world in a warm red.

Not far from the police station compound, an old man who was sitting against the wall on the street stood up tremblingly on his knees and looked towards them.

He was hunched over, with his messy white hair fluttering in the wind. His thin body was wrapped in tattered clothes that could be blown down by a gust of wind.

Jiang Hongxia couldn't bear it, so she took out her wallet and walked over quickly to give him some money.

"Girl, I'm not a beggar, I'm not a beggar." The old man stepped back and waved his hands against the wall, saying timidly, "Girl, I just wanted to ask how to get to Tiananmen Square."

Jiang Hongxia looked at him with a little curiosity, and said softly, "Uncle, you are not from Beijing?"

"I'm from Jinzhou and wanted to come and see Tiananmen Square. I was tired from walking just now, so I wanted to take a rest here."

"Why are you here alone? Where is your son?"

The old man paused for a moment and said softly, "Gaojiatun."

Jiang Hongxia was immediately dissatisfied, and raised her eyebrows. "Gaojiatun is not far from the capital. How could a son do this and let you run to the capital alone... What does he do in Gaojiatun?"

The old man looked calm and said slowly, "Buried there."

Jiang Hongxia was speechless for a moment.

The old man spoke calmly, as if he was telling someone else's story, "During the Battle of Pingjin, as soon as the charge was sounded, the shells came down, saying that they were only a few dozen miles away from the capital."

Jiang Hongxia's eyes instantly turned red and she sniffed, but she didn't know how to comfort the old man.

"I walked from Jinzhou along the same route my son took to enter the country. I have to help my son complete this last section."

Chang Wei listened quietly on the side, pursed his lips hard, and said softly: "Uncle, I know the way, I will take you there."

The old man met the young man's handsome and clean face, and a faint smile appeared on his old face, like the warm sun in winter.

The Monument to the People's Heroes stands tall in Tiananmen Square.

Chang Wei helped the old man walk around the base of the monument.

They walked slowly, stopping for a long time at each relief.

Walking around to the north, Chang Wei raised his head slightly and silently recited the inscription.

"The people's heroes who have sacrificed their lives in the People's Liberation War and the People's Revolution over the past three years will live forever!"

"The people's heroes who have sacrificed their lives in the People's Liberation War and the People's Revolution over the past 30 years will live forever!"

"From this point on, we can trace back to 1840. Since then, the people's heroes who have sacrificed their lives in various struggles against internal and external enemies, for national independence and the freedom and happiness of the people will be immortalized!"

He brought his feet together, stood at attention and saluted.

The people's heroes will live forever.

Long live the great China!

The four seasons are calm,

The mountains and rivers are safe,

The sun rises and the moon sets,

Fireworks are normal.

This is the most beautiful appearance of our motherland.

Happy National Day!
