Chapter 831: Identifying the Cause of Death



When Bai Song and others were changing their clothes, Team Zhuang had already gone to a meeting.

My body was covered in mud, but there was no way to take a shower. We were provided with three police T-shirts, but nothing else, so I could only blow dry my clothes with a hot hair dryer.

After tidying up, wiping their bodies and washing their hair, the three of them went to the meeting room.

There were more accidents today than expected. As I mentioned before, there were four deaths, and in addition, there were many injured.

In addition to the car accident, many people were injured by the collapsed houses, and one family reported a missing person!

There is no time limit at all for missing persons cases due to this kind of bad weather. The leaders specifically said in a meeting that all missing persons cases in the past few days will be filed once they are reported.

After a meeting and research, it was determined that the first two cases were indeed accidents. One of the deceased was a breeder and the other was an elderly woman, and their families have already acknowledged this.

In this kind of situation, if there is no accident insurance, then death is death, and all you have to do is prepare for the funeral.

The one who drowned needs a detailed autopsy. Now the two forensic doctors of the detachment are still in the hospital. They learned from the family of the deceased that the deceased had been working as a nanny outside all year round. Today, after finishing her work, she walked home in the rain and called her family before leaving.

From the current situation, it can be determined that the deceased fell from Baimu Bridge. There is a very unclear video at the scene, but it can be seen that the deceased fell alone, and there was no one else around.

If the autopsy finds no poisoning or trauma, the case can be ruled as accidental death.

The most troublesome case at the moment is the nurse's death case.

For the first three, the families all acknowledged that they were accidents, after all, there was nothing that could be done about natural disasters or man-made calamities.

Fourthly, the family members of the deceased were so furious that they made a scene at the scene!

This certainly won't affect everyone. As a police officer for so many years, no one is afraid of this. But no matter what we say, this case must be investigated seriously.

The problem now is that a lot of information has been extracted from the scene.

This hotel is really average. There is surveillance, but it is not comprehensive. Moreover, due to the heavy rain today, the cameras outside the hotel are broken. There are only a few inside, and there are still blind spots.

In addition, during these few hours, the police investigating the scene found traces of four or five people in the house.

Yes, the number of traces has not yet been determined.

Although the hotel is cleaned every day, there are still hairs from several people in very hidden places.

At present, it can be basically determined that these people have nothing to do with the death of the deceased, and they should have been residents in the past period of time.

Some of the hair was even covered with thick fluff and dust, which was probably more than a few months old.

According to the judgment of the criminal police and forensic doctors at the scene, this was most likely a suicide case.

"I'll take people to the scene to take a look." Captain Zhuang looked at Director Wang.

"No need? Captain Zhuang, have you brought a forensic doctor with you?" Director Wang was a little puzzled as he didn't see the forensic doctor.

Of the five people who came, Director Wang knew four of them. The only one he didn't know was Sun Jie. Generally, the forensic doctors in the municipal bureau were not too young.

"Go and take a look. I have to report to my leader later." Captain Zhuang said.

"Well, will you drive your car? We don't have any cars available here. Why don't you let your brothers take a break and I'll find someone to accompany you."

"How about this, let Captain Xing rest here for a while, and we'll send someone over with me."

Just as he finished speaking, someone pushed the door into the conference room, saw Director Wang and said directly: "Director Wang, there is a report from the forensic doctor."

As he spoke, the man handed several faxes to Director Wang.

A total of three copies were made, and Team Zhuang also received one.

This is the preliminary autopsy report of the woman who drowned. The autopsy has not yet been performed.

"Just tell me what you mean." Director Wang put down the report. "Did you rule out any unexpected circumstances?"

Captain Zhuang also looked at the report and handed it directly to Sun Jie.

The specific report has not come out yet. This one is at most an inspection record, which most people cannot understand.

"They told me that the autopsy found distended jugular veins, but they don't know what caused it." The police officer who came in explained, "The detailed report will probably be out tomorrow. Now let me ask the leader if an autopsy is needed?"

Director Wang gritted his teeth and read it again, feeling a little unhappy.

This is not a report, but an inspection record. Who can understand it?

"Sun Jie, please tell everyone about it." Captain Zhuang arranged.

"Okay." Sun Jie picked up the report. "The deceased had semen flowing out of his mouth, sand in his nasal cavity, and sand detected in his respiratory tract. Considering that the time of death was very short, and referring to the video recording, etc., the deceased drowned. This is the consensus. After testing the deceased's blood, no poisoning was found so far."

"Forensic Doctor Sun," Director Wang said, "There's no need to be so conservative. We are all one family."

Sun Jie looked at Team Zhuang, and after getting the affirmation, he said: "The external jugular vein is the thickest superficial vein in the neck. It is two-thirds of the distance from the mandibular angle below the upper edge of the clavicle, which is considered as the distended jugular vein. When a person drowns, the following situations will occur. The first is drowning pulmonary edema, which increases the volume of the lungs and the pressure in the thoracic cavity; the second is the excitement of the sympathetic nervous system, which increases the cardiac output and blood return, and the average filling pressure; the third is the increase in blood volume and the increase in the amount of blood returning to the heart.

The above three situations can be inferred that the deceased struggled violently when entering the water and inhaled a large amount of drowning fluid, which may cause jugular vein distension within a short period of time after death. This situation can prove two things: first, the death time is short, and second, the deceased was conscious and struggled violently when falling into the water.

We should now inquire about the deceased's medical history, and if there is no such disease, we can determine that it was an accident."

Although most of what Sun Jie said was unclear, one thing is for sure, it sounded very reasonable!

Soon, someone brought a phone and asked Sun Jie to communicate with the two forensic doctors at the scene. He also contacted the family and learned about the medical history. In the end, the two forensic doctors were convinced and determined that this case was an accident.

Because there is surveillance video, and because the previous controversy was whether the woman was conscious, and in the absence of a history of disease, varicose veins in the jugular can indirectly confirm her consciousness, so there is no doubt about the case.

"Captain Zhuang, it's true that all the talented people want to go to the Municipal Bureau. You are really professional." Director Wang praised: "The forensic doctors here still need to learn more from the higher-level departments. After this matter is over, we have to ask the leaders to borrow some people to give us some training."

"That's impossible," said Team Zhuang. "You are so close to Jiuhe District. If Wushuang is free someday, why don't you invite him? When he was transferred to the branch office, the people in Team 4 were reluctant to let him go."

"Team Qin is too busy..." Director Wang thought about it and it made sense: "Well, now that this matter is over, I will send someone over to learn."
