After a human dies, the smell of decaying corpses is different from the smell of decaying animal corpses.
It is usually several levels higher than the stench of rotting corpses such as pigs and dogs.
This is a protective mechanism for humans to protect their own species.
Even if they die, they are telling their fellow humans that there are dead people here.
Corpse odor is difficult to cover up.
Even if it is sealed in concrete, it can still emit.
Ye Mo, Lin Xuan and other criminal investigators put on gloves and shoe covers and entered the cordoned off scene.
One of the persons in charge of the case came over immediately when he saw Ye Mo and others appearing.
"Team Lin, Captain Ye." Zhao Jiaming, the head of the Sifang County Public Security Bureau, saluted the two of them.
"Thank you for your hard work, take us to the crime scene first," Lin Xuan said.
"Yes!" Zhao Jiaming said immediately.
Following Zhao Jiaming's footsteps, Ye Mo and others walked forward, pushing aside the messy reeds. In the reeds on the river beach ahead, there was a bulging white snakeskin bag lying there.
The breeze blew and there was a stench.
Generally, for corpses in this situation, it is difficult to determine the specific time of death.
In order to prevent everyone from being infected by the disease, Ye Mo asked everyone to wear forensic masks.
Ye Mo did not go directly to open the snakeskin bag, but found the caller and asked him about the process of discovering the body.
The person who called the police is named Zhao Dongshu. He is 45 years old and is a worker hired by the Construction Bureau to clean up the river beach.
The weather was warm today, so he rowed a boat to the reed swamp to take a look at the situation, and then called the construction team over to work together.
Unexpectedly, an unpleasant smell came from the reeds.
Zhao Dongshu thought some dead pig or dog had rushed here.
When he used the paddle to push aside the reeds, he suddenly discovered a bulging snakeskin bag.
Out of curiosity, he opened the snakeskin bag and took a look, and was immediately frightened out of his wits.
He saw a rotten, maggot-infested arm.
It was obvious that it contained people.
A man chopped into countless pieces.
So Zhao Dongshu immediately took out his mobile phone and called the police.
After listening to what the caller said, Ye Mo turned his attention to the bulging snakeskin bag.
The mouth of the bag was open, but the bag was still so bulging. Normally, a person would not be bulging like this after being dismembered and put into such a big bag.
Moreover, the bag mouth has been opened, and the gas inside has long come out.
Therefore, besides the body parts, there should be something else in the bag, and it should also be solid.
"There should be a lot of stones in this bag. You cut the bag open and put the corpses and stones separately into the evidence box. I'm going to survey the surrounding situation. Water will be released at the upstream gate at six o'clock. You must hurry up. Time." Ye Mo explained immediately.
Upon hearing this, Lin Xuan immediately arranged for the police to handle the case.
Ye Mo conducted a survey of the surrounding environment.
The reeds in front of the snakeskin bag have signs of being bent, proving that the bag must have been washed over by water.
The crushed reeds have begun to sprout new shoots, proving that the bag has been left here for at least a week or so.
The temperature had not been high some time ago, so the body decomposed slowly and was not discovered.
The temperature had warmed up in the past two days, and the smell of corpses was permeating the air. Only then was the fisherman discovered.
In other words, this is not the first scene of the crime.
Moreover, the time when the victim was killed was probably more than ten or eight days, or even a month ago.
