What Shen Yan said makes sense.

For most people, the price of inner and outer clothing should be about the same.

Or, more people value outer senses than inner senses.

The level of outerwear should be the same as that of underwear, or higher, which is in line with most people's thinking logic.

The clothes of the deceased were somewhat special.

"Of course, it's possible that some people pay special attention to the quality of their underwear and don't care about their outerwear, but I don't think that's the case with the deceased."

Shen Yan approached the corpse's chest and gestured at the size of the deceased's chest.

"Although the corpse has begun to undergo a high degree of decomposition, it has also gone through the process of giant viewing. The current size of the corpse is relatively close to the real size of the deceased during his lifetime."

"The size of the underwear on the deceased was a D cup, but the size of the body... should be a B cup. To be more precise, you need to measure the data, but it will definitely not exceed a C, let alone a D."

Let’s not talk about the price level of the underwear. It is indeed unlikely that the size is not suitable.

Therefore, Shen Yan felt that the clothes on the corpse, or at least the underwear, did not belong to the deceased.

This is the benefit of joint inspections by current investigators and forensic scientists.

Complementarity between different majors often produces unexpected results.

Liu Guodong is preparing relevant on-site survey records and will send them to Qin Yong next.

Of course, whether it is on-site investigation or forensic medicine, they only provide judgments based on reality, and will not contain the speculations made during the discussion by a few people.

The next step is to conduct an autopsy on the body to determine the specific time of death.

From the current point of view, the cause of death should be heart damage caused by puncture of the left chest with a sharp instrument, and death from excessive blood loss.

But this is only a first judgment based on the surface injuries on the body.

The final cause of death of a corpse depends on the autopsy.

For example, the deceased was strangled, but the murderer may also have faked the injuries in order to conceal the true cause of death.

In most cases, if the victim has just died, such fake injuries are easier to determine in the eyes of forensic doctors and investigators.

But the current corpse has reached the stage of active decay.

The rigor mortis has long since disappeared, and the corpse spots have long since dissipated.

Now the surface skin of the corpse has been basically damaged, and the internal organs should also be in a highly decayed state.

Coupled with being soaked by river water and washed away by rain, many traces are no longer discernible to the naked eye.

"The time of death... is not easy to deal with."

Shen Yan was responsible for performing the dissection this time, and Wang Changjiang was responsible for recording.

Shen Yan nodded: "The corpse was highly decomposed and soaked in the river... combined with the current temperature in Haizhou City... a month?"

"Let's cut it first, and then check the corruption of the internal organs."

The profession of forensic medicine is very different from that of normal doctors.

When the doctor performs an operation, he must make sure that the incision can be sutured again without any damage.

But forensic medicine is different.

After it is cut, although it needs to be sutured, the contents inside do not need to remain intact.

In comparison, the level of precision is still much lower.

When Shen Yan was about to use the knife, Wang Changjiang looked at Liu Guodong who was about to close the stall.

"Old Liu, do you want to stay for a while?"

Wang Changjiang's words were obviously a joke. The surface examination of the body just now was part forensic and part investigation.

But the subsequent anatomy has nothing to do with the current investigation.

According to the normal process, the physical evidence collected must be analyzed during the current investigation.

However, this time, luckily, the crime scene was definitely not the first crime scene.

Therefore, except for the sharp knife with a scabbard in the black plastic bag that Yang Sen found, the rest were the clothes on the deceased.

Some of the physical evidence of strangulation, such as fingerprints, hair, or dander that can usually be collected at crime scenes, was not available this time.

"You can do the rest, I don't want to stay here any longer."

After all, the smell here really isn't very good.

He and Wang Changjiang had their own experience and were not like Lu Chuan and Shen Yan who wore gas masks.

"Master, I want to stay for a while."

Liu Guodong was about to turn around and leave, but Lu Chuan did not turn around. Instead, he stared at the corpse on the autopsy table, slightly lost in thought.

"Um?"

There will be an autopsy later, Lu Chuan still wants to see it?

Liu Guodong knew that Lu Chuan was proficient in the identification and analysis of skeletons that only forensic doctors could do, but this corpse was still far from the definition of a skeleton.

Lu Chuan has followed Liu Guodong for more than half a year, allowing Liu Guodong to have a deeper understanding of his apprentice.

He usually behaves informally, but he is steady and thoughtful at work.

Lu Chuan had looked at and inspected the corpse with Shen Yan before, so he definitely didn't want to stay because of Shen Yan.

As for watching the fun...

What's there to see in an autopsy?

Unless you don’t want to eat.

Besides, Lu Chuan is not of this character.

Therefore, when he said he wanted to stay, there must be something going on.

After a slight thought, Liu Guodong figured it out.

"Xiao Lu, is something wrong?"

Lu Chuan nodded.

Since receiving the intermediate corpse egg identification and analysis ability rewarded by the system, Lu Chuan has not had the opportunity to verify this skill.

Now we finally have a rotting corpse, which should be of some help.

At the very least, it shouldn't be too difficult to determine the time of death of a body.

But Lu Chuan naturally wouldn't talk about the system.

Lu Chuan walked to Shen Yan and picked up a chubby maggot that splashed on the dissecting table.

"When I was in college, I did some research on parasitic eggs."

The maggot in Lu Chuan's hand was a fly maggot.

Generally speaking, common maggots are the larval state of flies.

Flies lay eggs on decaying corpses, and when the eggs develop, they become maggots.

Of course, there are many types of maggots, to be precise, they are headless larvae.

In addition to flies, there are many species of dipteran insects whose larvae are in the maggot state.

However, in daily life, fly larvae are the most common.

The maggot larvae in Lu Chuan's hand were about three millimeters in size and were already close to adult status.

"General corpse fly larvae can grow up to about two centimeters, then turn into pupae and hatch into flies."

"The larva in my hand is about 1.5 centimeters, and it still has two or three days to mature."

"The time from egg laying to emergence of most fly larvae should be 2 to 3 weeks, and there will be some changes depending on the outside temperature and humidity."

"But it's still uncertain whether the current larvae is the first generation larvae produced after the corpse decayed."

"But it can be verified through experiments. In this case, the death time can be judged by the growth cycle of the larvae."

Lu Chuan finally explained the reason why he stayed.
