Although all the customers in the hot pot restaurant have been cleared out, there are still many people watching near the cordon outside the door.
People who love to watch the excitement are everywhere.
Just like ancient men like to listen to music and teach dance.
But times have changed, and now everyone likes to listen to cross talk.
But considering the possible impact of this case, Qin Yong called Ren Qiang over: "Remove all the people watching outside."
"No one is allowed to take photos or videos."
Qin Yong was actually doing it for their own good. You know, many of these people had just eaten in a hot pot restaurant.
Unlike Lu Chuan and Shen Yan, who haven't used their chopsticks yet, these people are almost full.
"Seal down the scene," Qin Yong has already begun directing the on-site work: "Lao Liu, Lao Wang, your investigators and forensic scientists will enter first."
At this moment, Lu Chuan and Shen Yan had also put on gloves and masks and began to inspect all the soup pots in the hot pot restaurant.
Although this is not a murder scene, when it comes to identifying human bones, the investigators and forensic scientists are obviously more experienced.
On the forensic side were Wang Changjiang and Shen Yan. On the investigation side, Yang Sen did not come, so Liu Guodong took Lu Chuan and Lao Bai.
The next scene made all the detectives present frown.
The sound of retching seemed to come and go.
"Half tibia."
"A rib, and a vertebrae."
"This...should be the sacrum, right?"
Everyone was silent except for the voices of Lu Chuan and five other people, reporting on the discovery of large bones that seemed to be human bones.
Every report is like a heavy hammer that hits everyone's heart.
Two detectives had already gone out and vomited.
The two of them were not novices, they were the backbone of the second operation team. One of them was still familiar to Lu Chuan, Zhang Hui.
The two of them had eaten at this hot pot restaurant just the day before yesterday.
The result is now...
There are a total of thirty-six tables in the lobby, of which twenty-five are already in use.
Lu Chuan and others checked all the soup pots and found bones suspected of being human bones in twelve soup pots.
As the investigation progressed, the faces of Lu Chuan and others became uglier.
Especially the inspection of the kitchen.
"Team Qin," Liu Guodong reported to Qin Yong after completing the entire survey: "We found eighteen human bones in the soup pot in the lobby."
"In the storage room of the back kitchen, a bag of bones was also found, which contained pig bones, cow bones, and human bones."
"The specific number is sixty-two yuan, but whether all of them belong to one person...it's hard to tell yet."
The bones were all cut into small pieces that could be put into a soup pot for cooking, and the specific locations of some bones were difficult to distinguish.
Qin Yong's face turned livid: "Search the hot pot restaurant immediately and take all the personnel back!"
Human bones were found making soup in a hotpot restaurant.
This is destined to be another sleepless night.
Thirty-one people, including restaurant owners, are now being questioned.
But this time, the forensic doctors and investigators were very busy.
And it’s mutual cooperation.
In the anatomy room, Lu Chuan and Shen Yan were sorting out all the bones.
"This should be a fragment of the scapula...this is the radius..."
"And this...is the collarbone..."
Lu Chuan was specially asked by Wang Changjiang from Liu Guodong to help him.
While at the hot pot restaurant, Wang Changjiang discovered that Lu Chuan had a very good understanding of the human skeleton.
Because the bones have been cut into small pieces, many times, as a senior forensic scientist, he is not sure where the bones are.
But Lu Chuan could see it at a glance.
"I did research when I was in college. Although these bones have been cut, the specific parts can still be determined based on the curvature and texture of the bones."
When Wang Changjiang asked the reason, Lu Chuan answered like this.
"Lu Chuan, it's lucky to have you. Otherwise, I don't know how long it would take for this pile of bones to be pieced together."
"By the way, how do you study human bones and know more about them than me, a forensic medicine graduate?"
Shen Yan stretched her waist and felt something in Lu Chuan's eyes.
No one dislikes a man who can work.
Shen Yan and Lu Chuan had many exchanges.
Lu Chuan also felt quite comfortable, and human bones didn't seem so scary when paired with a beauty like Shen Yan.
"Read more books. As you know, we sometimes need to analyze the skeletons during the excavation. I learned it at that time..."
"Ahem!"
Wang Changjiang, who coughed twice, interrupted the two of them.
We still have to work on the case.
"Well, Xiao Lu, how's it going with Lao Liu?"
Lu Chuan looked at the quartz clock on the wall: "They should have just completed the preprocessing of the test materials, and the DNA results will be available in about two hours."
In fact, not much information can be found about these skeletons.
First, DNA information is extracted from all the skeletons to determine whether these skeletons belong to the same person.
At the same time, attempts were made to determine the identity of the skeleton through DNA information comparison.
In fact, Lu Chuan has already made some judgments in this regard.
The skeletons found in the kitchen had not been cooked at high temperatures. From their color, shape and size, Lu Chuan could basically judge that these skeletons were formed at the same time and under the same external conditions, and most likely belonged to the same person.
The second is to test the bones to determine how long they existed, and to test the age of the bones to determine the age of the deceased.
This is very important. The determination of bone age is an important factor in determining the nature of the case.
For example, if the final bone age is two hundred years, it has nothing to do with the murder case.
People die too early, and those who eat hot pot can only consider themselves unlucky.
Food safety and tomb robbing are more likely.
In short, the pressure on the criminal investigation detachment will be much less.
Wang Changjiang nodded and looked at Lu Chuan: "Now that the sorting of bones has been completed, I am left to apply to Team Qin to take some samples and send them to the provincial department for testing."
Does the provincial department do testing?
Lu Chuan was slightly startled: "Forensic Doctor Wang, we seem to have bone testing equipment here. Can't we do the testing ourselves?"
"Send it to the provincial office...it will take a while, but the information will not be returned."
"Ding!"
"Basic task: complete a qualified skeleton identification analysis and issue an identification report."
Speaking of this, Wang Changjiang looked a little helpless: "There are indeed instruments. In the past few years, the provincial department has equipped the municipal criminal investigation detachment below with a full set of bone quality testing instruments."
"We can also use it, but the analysis is quite different."
Shen Yan on the side nodded: "It is not difficult to operate these instruments. I have been exposed to them when I was in school."
"However, it is difficult to identify and analyze skeletons. The provincial department stipulates that all identification information reports must be reviewed by experts from the provincial department before they can be used as judicial evidence."
"But the requirements there are very strict. We failed several times and were tested several times."
"It's not just us, but also several surrounding detachments equipped with instruments."
"Later, we didn't bother with this matter and sent it directly to the provincial department for testing. They said that our instrument was broken..."
Lu Chuan: "..."
Lu Chuan, who has received the intermediate skeleton identification and analysis skill, certainly knows that it is easy to identify skeletons but difficult to analyze.
However, he didn't expect that it would be so difficult.
However, since this is the case, it is naturally impossible for Lu Chuan to say, I will do it.
You don’t need to ask the provincial department.
This kind of thing should be prepared with both hands.
