"Brother Qin, how is it?" Lu Yuanzhi leaned up and asked, he had been looking at those corpses for a while, but he couldn't find a clue at all.

The three pieces of broken corpses were the left chest, the ribs, and the belly, which were just enough to be put together, and it was determined that they belonged to the same victim.

After the broken corpse is spliced, a long strip from ** to the abdomen is formed, but the clues that can be provided are quite limited, the most obvious is the surname of the deceased, which is undoubtedly a female surname, followed by a slightly dark complexion, in addition, Lu Yuanzhi found that he could no longer find other valuable clues.

Qin Lin glanced at him angrily, and said sarcastically: "Fatty, it's a shame that your family kills pigs, don't you even see the most basic?" ”

My family has killed pigs, but I haven't killed anyone! Lu Yuanzhi smirked and scratched his head, suddenly his little eyes lit up, and he slapped his thighs heavily: "Oh, Brother Qin, you mean fat and thin, really...... Judging from the corpse, the deceased didn't have much fat, but it wasn't skinny either, and his figure was a little thin. ”

Those who kill pigs have to talk about whether the pork fat is thick or not, so Qin Lin mentioned it a little, and Lu Yuanzhi immediately touched the bypass, and he was not slow to comprehend.

Comparing people to pigs seems a bit disrespectful, but the reason is indeed exactly the same, and Qin Lin and Lu Yuanzhi deal with corpses from time to time, or they will have to hold back their illness sooner or later.

The county magistrate and a few old catchers were sharing the five taels of silver sent by Shen Yourong, they didn't take Qin Lin and Lu Yuanzhi to heart, they just said that they were sons and brothers with a heavy heart for curiosity, how did they know that when they talked about autopsies, they couldn't help but wonder where these two young people came from, and how could their eyesight be similar to their husbands who have been handling cases for decades? They all pricked up their ears and listened to what they had to say.

Lu Yuanzhi looked at the corpse and said confusedly: "Then it can be determined that the deceased's female surname, slightly dark complexion, and thin body are on the thin side, in this case, it seems that many people are in the same place?" There is no special recognition, how can you be sure that it is the missing girl? ”

"Actually, we can find more clues from the corpse parts," Qin Lin also looked at the corpse parts and pointed to the belly piece: "She should have given birth, and she also breastfed her young children, you take a closer look." ”

Lu Yuanzhi stared at it for a while, the corpse was soaked in the seawater, white and swollen, there seemed to be something on the surface, but he couldn't see it very clearly, he opened the window of the mortuary to the maximum, and only by the light of the sky could he see it clearly, and there were really some looming wrinkles.

"It's stretch marks," Qin Lin explained.

When women are pregnant, their belly becomes larger, and their skin is stretched and thinned, and some of them have some pink wavy patterns of different widths and lengths. After childbirth, these patterns will gradually disappear, leaving white shiny scar lines, known as stretch marks, which do not disappear completely once they occur, and at most slowly fade over time, which can be detected by looking closely.

Although Lu Yuanzhi has been following Qin Lin for a long time, he has not yet come into contact with this aspect, and when he listens to him, he only feels that his mouth is suddenly open.

The boy and a few old catchers were shocked to hear it, and they looked at each other, this young man is an expert!

Lu Yuanzhi asked again: "Brother Qin, I understand the stretch marks, you said that the deceased had a breastfeeding experience, did you see it from **?" Teach me. ”

Qin Lin smiled evilly, with a lazy face: "Well, it depends on experience...... It can only be understood that it cannot be spoken! ”

Lu Yuanzhi blinked his eyes, and it took a while to understand, our Chief Qin, it's really bad.

"Can we find more clues? Brother Qin, I know you can! Lu Yuanzhi was full of hope and looked at Qin Lin with blank eyes: "The height, appearance, and age of the deceased ......"

Even those who are pretending and catching fast, they are also listening carefully, and today's young man has brought them a lot of surprises.

Qin Lin finally smiled helplessly: "Fatty, do you think I'm an immortal?" Well, the muscles of the corpse are still relatively rich, the skin is relatively tight, there is no obvious sagging, I can tell that her age is between twenty and forty years old, and I can't find any clues. ”

In order to restore the appearance of the deceased, cranial reconstruction is required, and the head must be found; To determine the height of the deceased, it is necessary to find the long bones of the limbs, such as the radius at the forearm position and the femur at the thigh position, and multiply the bone length by the fixed long bone coefficient to obtain the estimated height; To judge her living status, whether there is old skin on her hands, whether there are calluses on the soles of her feet, and how worn out her teeth are, are important references; To know what she ate for her last meal, you have to open your stomach and intestines to see it.

From chest to abdomen alone, three pieces of corpse flesh that are more than a foot long and palm-wide, Qin Lin can't restore the appearance of the deceased before his death, nor can he determine his height, as for more and more complicated information, it is more and more needless to say, three words: no hope.

Haicheng County's servants and catchers finally breathed a sigh of relief, this young man can see from a few pieces of broken corpses whether he is giving birth and breastfeeding, which is already very remarkable, if he can still know the height and appearance, so that our old guys still have the face to live?

Qin Lin rearranged the clues obtained from the corpse parts: the female surname, slightly dark complexion, thin figure, aged between 20 and 40 years old, had a history of childbirth and breastfeeding, and in the strip-shaped position from the left chest to the abdomen made of the corpse parts, there were no obvious features such as black moles, scars, and birthmarks.

"It's true that the scope has been narrowed down a lot, but it seems that it is not enough to meet the standard of conclusive identification," Qin Lin thought, walked out of the mortuary and reached out to rub his nose, took a deep breath in the warm sun, and sent away the fishy smell that filled his nose.

The air in Fujian Yuegang is full of fresh sea breeze, and the sunshine is also warm, faintly feeling of spring.

Lu Yuanzhi finally didn't have to be dissected by Qin Lin this time, he was both happy in his heart, but he also felt a little empty, hey, I'm used to it, I didn't do it once, as if I didn't scratch it in my heart.

Qin Lin patted him on the shoulder: "Let's go, let's go meet Sister Yao's concubine." ”

Yu Zhigao was a camp officer in the water camp of the Fujian Navy Division stationed in Yuegang, and Shen Yourong was the commander, and the two of them were going to be regarded as half of the head snakes in Haicheng County, so they found local sailors to lead the way to find people.

On the road, a sailor familiar with the situation introduced the situation to Qin Lin, the private prostitute who was suspected of being the victim was called Sister He Gui, her surname was unbearable, her concubine was called Wang Basan, she was addicted to gambling all her life, the two guys were lazy to eat, and they all relied on the skin and meat business to survive, Sister He Gui looked very ordinary, and her age was not too young, so she could only recruit the ghost sailors on the dock, and even the serious girl of the Qinglou looked down on her like this.

"Has Sister He Gui ever given birth to a child?" Qin Lin was more interested in this point.

The sailor replied: "I heard that she has a young son, who is fostered in the country of her sister's house, alas, I don't know with which ladyboy he was born of wild seeds." ”

Lu Yuanzhi's eyes lit up: Have you given birth to a child? Then it should be the dead! Stretch marks on the belly are conclusive evidence.

Qin Lin smiled noncommittally.

In this low-rise and dilapidated area of the house, not far from the dock, in the middle of a low and dilapidated house, I found Sister He Gui's home, which is also her secret door to the leather and meat business.

Shen Yourong grabbed it and was about to knock on the door, Qin Lin happened to see a small courtyard not far away, a gray-haired old woman was feeding chickens, and several middle-aged women were pulling household chores while taking the soles of their shoes, so they shook their hands to stop Shen Yourong, and went around to the alley next to the courtyard from the other side, listening carefully.

As expected, this group of neighbors was discussing the most sensational event within a radius of ten miles in the past three days.

A spicy voice came from inside the courtyard wall: "I said that Sister Gui, she didn't die unjustly, how many ghosts did she trap?" Three days of quarrels! This time, I walked many nights and finally ran into a ghost, and I met a ruthless person, and I killed her and didn't say anything, but also dismantled eight pieces and there were no bones, how miserable do you say? ”

"Retribution!" An old voice sighed, sounding like the old woman who fed the chickens.

Qin Lin listened for a while, and probably knew from the chatter of these women that Sister He Gui and Wang Bagan often bullied foreigners who did not understand Chinese official law and were afraid of the Chinese government.

No wonder Xue Xinyan of Haicheng Zhi County will treat Luo Bu and Wawei and his party as murderers, the prostitute was deceived and killed in anger, and the motive for the crime is there!

Qin Lin walked back to Sister He Gui's house, made a gesture, and Niu Dali knocked on the door with his fingers.

Bang dang, something was accidentally dropped on the ground, obviously there were people in the house, but after waiting for a long time, they didn't come to open the door.

Several sailors shouted: "Wang Basan, don't toast and don't eat and drink, our Commander Yu of the Water Battalion is coming to you, hurry up and open the door, otherwise a fire will burn your turtle nest!" ”

The ox slammed the door violently, and at last the door was opened, and a short man with the eyes of a roe deer and rat poked his head out like a mouse.

The ox was impatient, and pushed hard, and the door opened widely, and Wang Basan also fell on his back.

The sailors spat angrily: "Wang Basan, you have a good ability, the two commanders of the camp Yu and Shen are here, and you are still shrinking your head and pretending to be a turtle bastard?" ”

Wang Bassan nodded and smiled: "How dare the little one?" Ladies and gentlemen, I was afraid that someone would come somewhere, so I didn't dare to open the door immediately, so please bear with me. ”

Yu Zhigao found a chair, wiped it with his sleeve, and then asked Qin Lin to sit down, and then pointed at Wang Basan and reprimanded: "Whatever this Qin Ye asks, you will answer, if there is half a sentence, Lao Tzu will pick your dog skin!" ”

"How dare you, how dare you," Wang Basan's eyes rolled wildly, and the Shuiying Yu garrison and the magistrate of this county were on an equal footing, and they were respectful to this young man, and they didn't know what the origin was?
