Chapter 101 Broken Bones
Chen Yan released the button instantly and the machine stopped turning.
"There's something here!" Zhou Yi said, pointing the flashlight at the inside of one of the teeth.
Chen Yan moved closer and saw a red object stuck at that location, about the size of a broad bean, with a little white substance slightly larger than a soybean on it.
Chen Yan immediately took out his camera and started taking pictures.
After taking the photo, I took out the evidence bag and tweezers and carefully pulled the piece off the gear.
The two of them came closer to take a look.
It was a piece of human tissue, and unlike the tissue in the septic tank, it was not contaminated and rotten.
The white part is a piece of broken bone.
Sure enough! This is where Xu Jiaguang processed the skull.
And after that, he should have cleaned up very carefully.
But there is always a chance of error, and he didn't notice that a small piece of human tissue was stuck on the inside of the machine.
Chen Yan immediately put this key evidence into the evidence bag.
…
In the guard room of the auto repair shop, Zhang Lechao was hesitating whether to go back after calling the factory director's home.
Suddenly there was a knock on the window glass and Zhang Lechao screamed in fright.
I turned around and saw that it was Zhou Yi who knocked on the glass, and I breathed a sigh of relief.
Then I turned around and found that the security guard had a face full of fear.
Of course, she wasn't scared by the knocking on the glass, but by his shout.
Zhang Lechao quickly opened the door and asked, "Two officers, have you finished your inspection?"
"Secretary Zhang, there's a machine in the corner behind the factory where Xu Jiaguang works. What is it used for?"
"Oh, that's a shredder for processing metal scrap. When cars are repaired, a lot of metal scrap is removed, which is difficult to handle, so each factory has one installed to facilitate the centralized processing of the scrap."
"So how do you deal with the shredded waste?"
"Just... pile it in the waste bin at the back door. When it's full, have someone take it away."
Chen Yan hurriedly asked, "When was the last time the waste was taken away?"
"Let me think about it, it seems... tomorrow morning."
Zhou Yi immediately said: "Take us to the back door!"
"Ah, now?" Zhang Lechao was stunned.
"Yes, right now, immediately."
"But... there's no streetlight over there at the back door. It's pitch black. How about... wait until it's a little daylight?"
Zhang Lechao was extremely unwilling to go there. He was already scared. There was a wasteland outside the iron gate at the back door. It was said that a drunkard had frozen to death there before. It was always cold and windy there during the day, let alone at this time.
At this moment, he missed his wife and warm bed so much. If he had known earlier, he would not have been the head of the security department.
No, I haven’t become one yet.
Zhou Yi looked around and his eyes immediately fell on the wall of the guard room. He pointed and said, "Use it."
Hanging on the wall is an emergency light.
Zhang Lechao glanced at the emergency lights and nodded helplessly, the expression on his face more bitter than eating bitter melon.
…
At the back door of the auto repair shop, Zhang Lechao held up the emergency lighting and watched Zhou Yi and Chen Yan, wearing industrial gloves, rummaging through the pile of metal scraps with their hands and feet.
Zhang Lechao was a little confused. This was a little different from what he had imagined.
He originally thought that the detective was just like the everyday detective like Furuhata Ninzaburo, who would sit there and strike a handsome pose, then solve the case through reasoning and analysis.
At worst, it will be like this afternoon, chasing the murderer and risking his life.
How can this be as miserable as that of migrant workers?
I can't bear this kind of suffering. It's more comfortable to sit in the office.
Zhou Yi and Chen Yan had no time to think about these trivial things. They concentrated on rummaging through the pile of waste.
Suddenly, Chen Yan shouted, "Zhou Yi, found it."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yi ran over immediately.
Chen Yan shone the flashlight under the moved waste, but Zhou Yi couldn't see clearly, so he turned around and called Zhang Lechao over.
Zhang Lechao walked over reluctantly, holding the emergency light in his hand towards them, with his head turned to the side.
With the bright light, Zhou Yi and Chen Yan finally saw clearly.
Under the pile of scrap metal was a pile of broken bones, the largest of which was no more than three or four centimeters in size.
It really fits the word, broken into pieces.
…
At the Municipal Bureau, Zhou Yi walked into the door hurriedly carrying a bag of things.
I happened to run into Shi Tao, the captain of the second team.
Shi Tao, who was about to leave work with a briefcase under his arm, greeted Zhou Yi enthusiastically: "Xiao Zhou, are you still working?"
"Hello Captain Shi, there is still work to be done."
"What's that in your hand? Midnight snack?"
Zhou Yi was stunned for a moment, and remained silent in embarrassment.
In order to show his closeness to the people, Shi Tao even moved closer to open the food and said, "Let me see what delicious food it is. It's both red and white."
Zhou Yi's mouth twitched as he said, "Captain Shi, this is evidence from the dismemberment case. It's suspected to be the deceased's shattered skull and some human tissue from the head."
Shi Tao froze in place instantly.
Chen Yan, who had just parked the car, walked over.
"Team Stone."
"I still have things to do, you guys go ahead and do your work." Shi Tao came to his senses and left immediately.
"What happened to Captain Shi?" Chen Yan asked in confusion.
Zhou Yi suppressed his laughter and said, "It's a little embarrassing."
The two men carried their things and went straight to the forensic room, where they happened to meet Jiang Biao who was coming out of the forensic room.
"Brother Biao, have you found anything?" Chen Yan asked.
Jiang Biao nodded. "We found seventeen complete bones in two nearby rivers and a wasteland, so I quickly sent them to the forensic doctor to confirm whether they were the bones of the deceased."
"Have you discovered anything?" Jiang Biao looked down and asked.
Zhou Yi nodded. "We found a pile of crushed skulls and some human tissue in the waste material pile at the auto repair shop. We initially suspect it's Zhang Hui's."
Jiang Biao bent down to take a look, his expression changing. "Thank you for your hard work."
"My brothers are still busy, I have to continue searching."
"Thank you for your hard work, Brother Biao. Thank you for your hard work, brothers."
The two walked into the forensic room and saw Xu Nian, who also saw them.
"Another discovery?" Xu Nian, wearing a mask, looked tired.
Chen Yan explained the situation.
Xu Nian looked at the plastic bag in Zhou Yi's hand and frowned: "Why is it in a plastic bag?"
Chen Yan quickly said, "No, no, there are evidence bags inside. Because there are too many, we are afraid that the evidence bags will be accidentally broken, so we put another plastic bag on the outside."
"Okay, sign it and give me the evidence."
Zhou Yi handed the thing over, and Xu Nian just took a look at it, his eyes full of shock.
"Teacher Song, come and take a look." Xu Nian turned around and shouted.
A few minutes later, a male forensic doctor wearing glasses came out. He took off his medical rubber gloves, which were covered with indescribable stains, disinfected his hands, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Zhou Yi knew him, of course, in his previous life.
This man was Song Yiming, the longest-serving forensic pathologist at the Municipal Bureau. He had worked diligently for most of his life, right up until retirement. He was also Xu Nian's supervisor and instructor.
Xu Nian pointed to the bag in his hand and said, "A big job has come."
Song Yiming opened the bag and took a look, his eyes behind his glasses showing no fluctuation at all.
He just said: "Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night."
