Chapter 22 The mystery of the dismembered body: murder of passion?

When Mu Mian passed by Fang Rui's office, he found that his light was still on.

He was indeed still working overtime.

Mu Mian knocked on the door and walked in.

"For you!" Mu Mian handed him the lunch box.

Fang Rui was a little surprised. He didn't expect Mu Mian to bring him lunch.

"Thank you."

Fang Rui opened the lunch box and found a seafood risotto with plenty of ingredients, including shrimps and carrots.

"Forensic Doctor Mu, what about me? I'm so old and sitting here alone, and you don't even say hello to me?" Xiao Zhang looked at Mu Mian aggrievedly.

He found that Mu Mian was extremely hypocritical and had completely different attitudes towards him and Fang Rui.

"Officer Xiao Zhang, good evening!"

"Mu Mian, you hurt me. We have such a close relationship, but when you brought lunch, you only brought it for the boss and not for me. Tsk tsk, you are not a good friend at all!"

Mu Mian was already used to Xiao Zhang's exaggerated way of speaking. She explained: "Because you have already eaten!"

She couldn't even refute it! Xiao Zhang just came back from a field trip and had already had a full meal outside.

"But I can have another serving!"

"You are allergic to seafood. Even if I bring you seafood stew, you can't eat it."

Xiao Zhang was a little touched that Mu Mian actually remembered that he was allergic to seafood.

But -

"So that restaurant doesn't have other dishes? They only have seafood risotto?"

"Of course not. But if you don't eat seafood, I can't pick out the shrimps and carrots that I don't like and put them in the lunch box."

"Hahaha, you are worthy of it!" Xiao Zhang felt mentally balanced instantly.

Fang Rui was speechless, so Mu Mian put all the dishes she didn't like into his bowl? No wonder it was a big bowl full!

Bai was moved!

While listening to Xiao Zhang's gossip, Mu Mian would sneak a peek at Fang Rui eating from time to time.

Her actions were too obvious. Xiao Zhang opened his mouth in surprise for a while, then whispered to Mu Mian: "Forensic Mu, have you finally discovered that our boss is handsome?"

"..."

Fang Rui closed the lunch box and said to Mu Mian: "Let's go!"

"What for?"

"Don't you want my help?"

Mu Mian was a little surprised, but still nodded: "Yes, I need a brave assistant now!"

"Assistant? I can do it too! Forensic Mu, why don't you come to me if you want help, I'm obviously free now!"

Fang Rui and Mu Mian looked at Xiao Zhang at the same time, Fang Rui helplessly said: "Aren't you afraid that you will have nightmares at night?"

Xiao Zhang looked at their backs as they left, feeling something was wrong. Something flashed through his mind, but unfortunately, it flashed past his head.

Mu Mian and Fang Rui put the body pieces on the dissecting table one by one. The upper part was basically complete, but the lower part was severely broken, with many parts missing.

Fang Rui found that Mu Mian was indeed very good at jigsaw puzzles. She only needed to take a look at many small body pieces to know where they should be placed.

Mu Mian looked at the body and frowned, "It's strange, this body is so easy to put together!"

"Is it easy to put together? I've been looking at it for a long time and still don't know where this piece should be placed?" Fang Rui held a small piece of minced meat in his hand. He held back his disgust and handed it to Mu Mian.

"I have restored a corpse that was run over by a train before. It took me a long time that time, five hours in total."

"You've worked for a long time today too. Look, it's already past two in the morning, and it's been five hours."

Mu Mian looked at Fang Rui's watch. It was really long. She was a little surprised: "Is there something wrong with my perception of time? I thought it didn't take long. Let's go home and sleep today, and continue tomorrow!"

"Tell me first, what's different about this corpse?"

"This corpse seems like a ceramic sculpture that fell to the ground and then shattered into this shape."

"The corpse was hit by the explosion. Isn't it normal to be blown to pieces?"

"Explosion injuries are mainly caused by shock waves, high temperatures or explosive projectiles. Judging from this body, the most obvious form of injury is blast injury.

The explosion shock wave will generate a number of explosive and tensile forces, which will tear the body apart.

Because the force is unbalanced, the broken ends will be very uneven, and a large amount of soft tissue will be separated. But the broken ends of this body are very neat. Even the clothes of the deceased are very strange. It doesn't look like they were torn apart by the impact force, but more like they were shattered.

Mu Mian was afraid that Fang Rui didn't understand, so he gave another example: "Originally, this body should have been torn apart like a piece of cloth, but now it shattered like a piece of glass."

"You suspect that the body was not broken into pieces by the explosion? "

No, it should be caused by the explosion. It's just that this corpse gives me the feeling that it was in a very brittle state when it exploded."

"How can a corpse be very brittle?"

"I have never encountered such a situation. I need to check the information again."

At this time, Mu Mian found that the deceased's left hand was clenched tightly, and there seemed to be something hidden inside.

"There is a piece of paper in the deceased's hand."

Mu Mian used a lot of strength to take out a piece of paper from it. The piece of paper was very small, about the size of a thumb, and the edge was burned by fire.

On the piece of paper was written:

Memory 18:9.

The words were handwritten in a black signing pen, and the handwriting was very neat.

"Is this a message left for us by the deceased? It looks like a string of codes. "

Fang Rui looked at it for a while, but didn't understand the information on it. He put the paper into the evidence bag: "What did the deceased want to tell us?"

Mu Mian corrected him: "It may also be left by the murderer. This seems to be the page number and chapter of a book. However, there seems to be no such book."

Fang Rui took off his gloves and searched for this string of words on his mobile phone, but there was no search result, and there was no book called "Unrecorded".

"Another strange thing is that we haven't found the deceased's genitals at the crime scene. According to the direction of the shock wave, it should appear on the lawn, but we haven't found it yet. "

Fang Rui thought of Ye Zeming's complicated relationships and couldn't help but guess: "Isn't this a murder of passion?"

"Murder of passion?"

Mu Mian suddenly remembered something. She found the severed finger and handed it to Fang Rui.

"The deceased had a ring of a special shape on his hand. This shape is very similar to a Mobius ring, and the meaning is probably to make time eternal. Could this be a couple's ring?"

Fang Rui took off the ring and found two letters engraved on the inside of the ring:

M&L.

M stands for Ye Zeming, and who does L stand for?
