After Chen Hua left the forensic department, he immediately summoned his criminal investigation brothers, divided them into four groups, and began to investigate according to Xu Lin's instructions.
Xu Lin remained in the forensic department and began to examine the bones in front of him again.
Qin Zhenzhen stepped forward and said: "After our testing, these bones belong to two people. One male and one female, both aged between 22 and 25 years old. The male is about 1.8 meters tall, and the female is about 1.6 meters tall..."
She kept narrating the data of her autopsy, and Gao Tian, the young apprentice next to her, would interject from time to time.
Xu Lin watched and listened without expressing an opinion.
Regarding the missing persons, he believed that Chen Hua would not even collect such important clues. The identity of the deceased has not been determined yet, which only proves that the deceased has not been reported missing.
There are several possibilities for this situation. First, the family members of the deceased are not around, or the deceased has no family members. The former may be more likely.
After all, if you don’t have family members, you must have friends, right?
Moreover, the deceased were still so young, so they must have been in contact with society, going to work, etc., and coming into contact with many people.
"Still not right."
Xu Lin spoke softly, as if talking to himself, but the three people around him, Qin Zhenzhen, Gao Tian, and Huang Weihan, all heard his voice.
Huang Weihan couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong?"
Xu Lin: "It's too clean."
"Too clean?" The three of them were slightly stunned.
Xu Lin said: "The bones are too clean. It's okay to say that there is no flesh and blood, but there is no cartilage at the joints of these bones. This seems a bit impossible, right?"
Can cats and dogs chew food so cleanly?
This sentence made everyone slightly stunned.
We have all seen the animal world, and seen those beasts enjoying delicious food after hunting, but after eating, there will usually be some blood or cartilage on the bones.
Xu Lin was right, it was too clean.
After all, the time does not exceed 72 hours, and the decay time is not that short.
"But it's also possible that it was eaten by flies and insects." Xu Lin shook his head, but even he himself felt that this statement was unrealistic.
"Did the murderer clean all of this?" Xu Lin said to himself again.
possible.
With the murderer's perverted personality, he might actually be able to do it.
He sighed and said to Huang Weihan: "Do you have any contact information for the professor from the Department of Archeology? What do these acidic runes mean? Wait..."
Suddenly, Xu Lin's eyes narrowed slightly.
It is not impossible to use acidic liquid to engrave characters with acidic substances, because it is highly corrosive, but...it seems different!
He immediately grabbed a bone and looked at the surface carefully.
The color is very white and looks unchanged.
As we all know, after acid corrodes an object, it can change the nature of the object and its surface will turn black.
But there is no such sign on this bone at all.
instead……
Xu Lin raised his head, his face full of excitement.
He thought of the zoo case he had handled before. There were many human skeletons hidden in the zoo. Isn't it the same as this one?
Especially the one in the crocodile pool is even more perfectly hidden.
If he hadn't found the clues, maybe no one would have discovered it.
Flies and bugs?
correct!
The reason he just guessed is probably right.
What if... this insect is a man-eating ant?
This world is very strange. There are many very dangerous group creatures. Once targeted by them, a person may be killed in an instant or even eaten into bones.
Man-eating ants are one kind.
Especially the big one whose scientific name is the ant, which usually grows in the tropical rainforest of southern Heilongjiang. The largest one can grow to the size of a fist. It is so ferocious and invincible that even lions, wolves, tigers and leopards cannot fight against it.
He immediately looked at Qin Zhenzhen and said, "Check immediately, are the acidity on these surfaces consistent with formic acid?"
As soon as these words came out, Qin Zhenzhen was shocked, with an incredible look on her face.
"Formic acid! Team Leader Xu, you mean..."
"Go!" Xu Lin shouted deeply.
Then he picked up a bone and said: "If I guessed correctly, there shouldn't be any runes on this, but something chewed out by the mouthparts of ants. Look at these..."
As he spoke, he took the magnifying glass and looked at the surface of the bone carefully, while explaining it to Huang Weihan.
Many messy tooth marks are clearly visible.
After thinking about it, he felt more and more that his guess was absolutely correct.
Although ants are small, their mouthparts are very sharp. Especially for small things like ants, they can leave a hole in your body by opening their mouths. It is not difficult to leave teeth marks on bones.
The reason why there are teeth marks on it is because they are eating the flesh and blood left on it.
This thing is most bloodthirsty.
"Old Xu, where is Old Chen?" Huang Weihan asked immediately after hearing his explanation.
Xu Lin: "Let him check first. After all, we don't have data now and it cannot be used as direct evidence. Moreover, we have to look at the floating population and those traveling from other places. We must carefully screen it."
"It's been 72 hours, and no one has reported the crime. They are probably migrant workers. They have little contact with their families, and some families can't even contact them."
"If they are these people and their social circle is relatively small, they are likely to be ignored."
"Okay, I understand. I'll have someone check it out right now." Huang Weihan nodded. Xu Lin also had the same idea. A multi-pronged approach would always leave some clues and traces no matter which end.
After Huang Weihan left, Xu Lin also took off his gloves and prepared to leave.
He said to Qin Zhenzhen: "Xiao Qin, notify me as soon as possible after you find out."
Qin Zhenzhen was busy in front of the instrument and said without looking back: "I know. Soon, in three hours at most, I will be able to test it. Also, I will compare it with the Formicidae family for you."
"good!"
Xu Lin nodded and left the forensic department.
It's chilly here, and it's really uncomfortable to stay here.
Returning to the small building of the special case team, Xu Lin, who had become a loner, was holding his mobile phone boredly and planning to play a game when a shout suddenly came from the door.
"Old Xu, come down quickly, something happened again!"
The voice belonged to Huang Weihan, and it was very urgent.
Xu Lin shook his head, walked out of the office with a wry smile, went downstairs and came to the front door.
"Old Huang, what's going on?"
Huang Weihan: "Again the bones were found, and the third victim appeared."
When Xu Lin heard this, his pupils shrank suddenly.
The third victim…
In other words, the murderer continued to commit crimes, and three people died, which directly escalated into a major crime.
Now, I'm afraid a task force will be formed.
