Ming River is the mother river of QZ City. It has passed through the city since ancient times and has nurtured generations of Qinzhou people.
But fifteen years ago, there was no modern bridge over the Ming River.
The Qinzhou Minghe Bridge came into being and has made great contributions to the economic development of QZ City and the convenience of people's lives since its construction.
However, precisely because of the rapid economic development in recent years, the Minghe Bridge, which was originally a two-way two-lane bridge, has become increasingly congested. It has turned from a booster of economic development into an intestinal obstruction that hinders the economic development of QZ City.
As a result, the reconstruction and expansion project of Minghe Bridge came into being.
As a result, during the demolition process of the old bridge piers, human skeletons were discovered in the bridge piers!
Of course, if it were ordinary skeletons, it would be unlikely to alert the leaders of the provincial department, so Li Donglin summoned a dozen experts and called over Lu Chuan, who was participating in the fingerprint battle.
The reason is that the skeleton is unusual.
Because the skeleton in the bridge pier is not the same.
Qin Hui's face was ashen and his voice was heavy.
"Judging from the remains of the skeletons that have been recovered so far... there are at least three skeletons."
"Not only that, but also found in other bridge piers..."
There were at least three skeletons, which was why the provincial department was alarmed.
"How is the excavation at the site going?"
After listening to the general situation report, Li Donglin asked questions that he was concerned about.
"After the skeletons were discovered, excavation work with large machinery was stopped."
Qin Huineng became the captain of the QZ City Criminal Investigation Detachment and has rich experience in handling cases.
After receiving the report, the backbone of the QZ City Criminal Investigation Detachment was immediately organized and took over the scene.
"Our field investigators and forensic scientists are conducting detailed excavations, but the progress is very slow due to lack of tools."
"Did the fire department ask for help?"
"Already called, they are on their way."
The case happened suddenly, and it was the first time for everyone here to hear the report.
Although Qin Hui's report was simple, the general situation was basically reported in place.
"What are your views on this matter?"
Li Donglin has a technical background, is vigorous and resolute when handling cases, and is good at listening to other people's opinions.
"go to the scene."
Zhang Yuanchao was the first to speak: "From the video, the bones should have been inside the bridge pier when it was poured."
"But whether the body was poured and then turned into bones, or whether it was the skeleton when it was poured, we have to go to the scene to determine."
Everyone agreed with Zhang Yuanchao's opinion.
After the corpse was poured, the bones turned into white bones. It is possible that someone was killed while pouring the bridge piers.
But if the bones were poured in when the bridge piers were poured, it might be a corpse.
The police officers sitting here, except for Lu Chuan, are all veterans who have been in the police for more than 20 years.
And working in the provincial department, they have participated in various cases.
This is not the first time that skeletons have been seen in the bridge piers.
Bridge piers are generally rarely moved. Those that are moved are bridges that have been built for a long time. They are either demolished for safety reasons or, like the Minghe Bridge, expanded and rebuilt.
But no matter what the situation is, it is at least a bridge built more than ten years ago.
In those days, driving piles was not uncommon.
Of course, the so-called driving piles does not necessarily lead to crime.
Most of them are done by buying them with money.
Life is priceless, but people have a price.
Qin Hui originally thought that this was what happened, but with at least three skeletons in a bridge pier, it was not a pile driver.
How could three people be beaten in?
Li Donglin looked around: "Do you have any other opinions?"
"If not, fine, let's leave immediately."
Twenty past one.
The task force led by Li Donglin,
We have arrived at the demolition site of the old piers of the Minghe Bridge.
Although the entire crime scene has been cordoned off, the surrounding shores are still crowded with people watching the excitement. .
People are very strange. If you ask them to see corpses, they won’t dare to see them, but most people will dare to see skeletons.
Lu Chuan put on three layers of gloves and a mask, and followed Zhang Yuanchao in the assault boat to inspect the first bridge pier.
People around were talking a lot.
"Can we find out what happened more than ten years ago?"
"Who knows? When the bridge was built, I was a participant. I never heard of anything happening?"
Driving raw piles means that if something goes wrong, then there will be such a saying. Whoever has nothing to do will spend money to buy a life.
"You're just a steel bar bender. Can I tell you something?"
"Didn't you hear that anyone was missing back then?"
"No……"
Most of the people around are locals from QZ City. Many of them are slightly older and know something about the construction of the bridge.
However, it seems that I had never heard of anything back then.
Most of the bridge piers were soaked in water, and the upper part was removed by large machinery. The part exposed to the water is about three meters.
The investigating criminal police and forensic doctors from the QZ City Criminal Investigation Detachment are waiting for Zhang Yuanchao and others.
"Mr. Zhang!"
The forensic doctor of the QZ City Criminal Investigation Detachment is Wu Qiming, who is in his fifties and has known Zhang Yuanchao for a long time.
"Qiming, what's going on now?"
Speaking of the case, Wu Qiming looked dark and solemn.
"Four skeletons have been discovered so far in this bridge pier."
While Zhang Yuanchao and others were on their way, more discoveries were made at the scene.
While talking, several people were sitting in the basket of the crane.
The remaining part of the bridge pier is more than three meters long, and there is no climbing place around it. You can only ride on the hanging basket and go down from top to bottom.
Zhang Yuanchao and Lu Chuan hung up the anti-fall device and went up and down from the hanging basket to the slope of the bridge pier.
The steel bars of the building were crooked, broken cement was scattered, and in the gaps were the remaining bones.
With just one glance, Zhang Yuanchao frowned.
When the corpse is poured into cement and then skeletonized, the color of the bones and the cement are different from pouring the skeleton directly into cement.
"Corpse pouring?"
Wu Qiming nodded: "Not only that, we have just excavated a skull with concrete residue on the upper part of the brain cavity."
The upper part of the brain cavity?
Zhang Yuanchao looked surprised: "Poured by a living person?"
"That should be the case, otherwise there would be no concrete in the upper part of the brain cavity."
After the body was poured and skeletonized, the color between the cement and bones was slightly darker than other parts, as well as broken clothes.
But if the bones are poured into cement, there will be no such difference.
Wu Qiming's discovery shows that people are still struggling to breathe when being poured, so the concrete is inhaled into the body through the nasal cavity.
In addition, the exposed part has three left hands and a shoulder.
Judging from the position, as long as the physical separation is not serious, there are indeed four people.
"Mr. Zhang, what should we do next?"
When Zhang Yuanchao arrived, Wu Qiming naturally gave up the command and asked for his opinions.
Zhang Yuanchao thought for a moment and suddenly looked at Lu Chuan: "Xiao Lu, what do you think?"
Um?
Lu Chuan did not expect that Zhang Yuanchao would ask for his opinion.
But when Zhang Yuanchao was talking to Wu Qiming just now, he was also observing the cross-section of the bridge pier and had some ideas of his own.
