Zhang drove a car and Sun Jie drove his own car, and the two cars headed straight to the train station.
As they approached their destination, Chief Zhang called Bai Song and shared some information with him.
The deceased is already in the hospital and has been confirmed dead.
The cause of death has not been determined yet. The preliminary estimate is that it was poisoning. No drug test has been conducted yet.
This is a bathhouse. Bathhouses near train stations usually also provide accommodation services. This one is the most upscale one near the train station, with three floors. In addition to bathing and accommodation, it also provides some simple massage and foot massage services.
For this reason, many of the houses here are very soundproofed and sturdy.
The deceased died in an equipment room.
Because it is a shower area, there are very few cameras here. Many guests leave the bathing area wrapped in towels. Some guests come here to relax and do not want to be photographed, so all the cameras here are broken.
It’s not that the boss can’t afford to fix it, he just deliberately doesn’t want to fix it. It’s probably been broken for several years.
This evening, there was a pool that needed to be cleaned, and the cleaning liquid in the washroom was all used up. A worker went to the equipment room to get it, and then opened the door lock with the key. He found a naked man lying inside, and there was a lot of vomit on the ground. This scared the cleaner, and he immediately told the boss, who immediately called the police.
Now, this bathing place has been temporarily closed, and all those who took a bath have been taken away to take statements.
If this was an accident, then more records would be able to eliminate reasonable doubt. If it was a murder, exhausting all evidence would be even more necessary.
The station and local criminal police were overwhelmed just by collecting evidence.
"Captain Zhang, you're here." There were several investigators at the scene who were still collecting evidence, and they obviously knew Captain Zhang.
"Bring a few experts here." Chief Zhang nodded.
"Expert? Yes..." a criminal policeman said hesitantly.
Bai Song and the other two showed their police officer IDs, and the other party immediately felt reassured.
No matter how familiar they are with Zhang, it is better to be cautious.
This is also why there is no such profession as detective in reality, because detectives cannot see the scene at all. Those detectives in novels who cooperate with the police are impossible to exist. Many people are interested in detectives, but they have never experienced a real case. All their knowledge comes from hearsay. How can they be more professional than criminal police? This is a typical case of using a hobby to challenge someone's job.
"Can you please tell us about the situation on the scene?" Bai Song asked while wearing a mask.
"Everyone has been taken away. I guess the results of the drug test will not come out until tomorrow. If there is no objection, it will be an accident." A criminal police officer said, "The door lock here is broken. You have to use a key to open the door when you close it. You have to use a key to open it from the inside or the outside. It is very strong. We can clearly see that the deceased tried to get out. He kicked the door and smashed it with something, but he couldn't open it. The door here is really too strong.
Given the numerous and obvious signs of the door being smashed, the deceased should not have been poisoned and thrown inside. Judging from the scene, he must have accidentally locked himself in and then drank something.”
"So, what did you drink?" Bai Song asked.
"I'm not sure yet. There are a lot of things in this equipment room. It's a mess. I guess there might be problems with anything you drink." The criminal police pointed to the shelves inside.
There are a lot of polishes, cleaners and other things in here, and most of them are in bulk barrels without labels.
This is quite normal, as business is different from home. At home, you buy detergents in bottles, and you have to buy brand names, but here you buy 50 liters or more, all in unbranded bulk barrels, and then fill them into branded bottles one liter at a time for reuse.
"Are there any signs that other people entered the scene?" asked Zhang.
"We extracted a lot of hair, and it seems that most of them belong to the deceased. The others seem to have been on the ground for a long time, such as the cleaner's. We took samples for DNA testing."
"What about the identity of the deceased?"
"I don't know. He was wearing nothing but a pair of underwear. He might have come to take a shower yesterday or the day before yesterday. The equipment room here is actually a small warehouse. We asked the cleaners, and they said they only come here every two or three days. The deceased has not been dead for long, but we can't be sure when he came in. It could be today, or it could be yesterday or the day before yesterday."
"Would it be convenient for us to investigate the scene?" Bai Song pointed at Sun Jie and said, "This is our forensic doctor, a very professional one."
If everyone goes in, they will definitely not be allowed in, but only one person can give face to Chief Zhang.
Sun Jie looked inside for more than ten minutes, then said to Bai Song, "Let's go to the hospital to see the body."
The group of four went straight to the hospital.
"The deceased had no vital signs before entering the hospital. The body temperature was 33.2 degrees. There was a large area of yellow watery stool on the penis and inner thighs. No food residue was detected in the previous vomit. Ethyl acetate and some aromatic hydrocarbons were detected in the stomach contents, but no ethanol or acetone was found. Acetone was detected in the urine stored in the penis. An autopsy is required."
After coming here, Sun Jie told the three people about the latest developments.
"Then what are you waiting for? Start the autopsy." Bai Song said.
"The identity of the deceased has not been confirmed, and the family members don't know either. We usually look for him first, and then perform an autopsy if we can't find him," explained Chief Zhang.
"How can we wait?" Bai Song frowned.
"It's okay. We'll look for it. If we can't find it, we'll do a cesarean section. Even if the family doesn't agree, we can still do it." Chief Zhang said, "But we'll have to go through more procedures, so we don't have to worry later."
"I understand." Bai Song nodded.
Under the introduction of Chief Zhang, Sun Jie followed the deceased to a special place and began the autopsy.
Before leaving, Bai Song said to Sun Jie, "Brother Jie, I think it was caused by the water. Please ask them to do a drug test as soon as possible."
"I think so too." Sun Jie said, "Don't worry, the cause of death will be revealed tonight."
"The main thing is to see if there is carbon tetrachloride." Bai Song instructed.
Thinner, commonly known as banana water, is an organic solvent composed of benzene, toluene, ethyl acetate, butyl acetate and other ingredients. Some banana water may also contain the more toxic carbon tetrachloride.
The purpose of this thing is to clean the sludge in the bathtub. In addition, it is also one of the raw materials widely used in industry.
"Okay, I know, just watch me." Sun Jie was full and a little excited.
…
"You can do it, buddy." Chief Zhang gave him a thumbs up. "If I eat so much mutton and then dissect it, I won't be able to bear it."
“He’s a professional.”
