Chapter 23 The mystery of the dismembered body: the misplaced time

The next day, after psychological counseling by a professional psychologist, Ye Zeling's condition improved a lot.

Fang Rui and Xiao Zhang took a record of her.

Ye Zeling is already 27 years old, but her mind seems immature. Not only does she speak in a coquettish voice, but her language is also chaotic and illogical.

Before Xiao Zhang opened her mouth to ask, Ye Ze Ling accused with swollen eyes: "It was Lin Lan who killed my brother! Lin Lan was a very vicious woman, my brother..." "

Ms. Ye, please calm down for a moment," Xiao Zhang interrupted her endless crying, "Answer whatever I ask, don't over-state, understand?"

"Okay."

"Did you report the fire?"

"I received a call from my brother that morning, so I came here to see him. As soon as I entered the villa gate, I saw my brother standing by the window. I was about to say hello to him when I saw the whole villa on fire. After a while, my brother was engulfed in the sea of ​​fire."

"Are you sure it was your brother you saw?"

"Should be...right. Although I didn't see it clearly, that was my brother." Ye Zeling tried to recall the scene at that time, "It's my brother, I won't recognize him wrongly, he even waved at me."

Fang Rui asked: "Why do you think your brother was murdered?"

"My brother's villa is equipped with the most advanced fire prevention system. Even if the villa catches fire, the intelligent system will automatically extinguish the fire. How could such a serious fire happen?

Someone must have set the fire on purpose! This person must be Lin Lan. She knows the structure of my brother's house very well. She must have turned off the system in advance!"

Xiao Zhang reminded: "But Lin Lan has an alibi. When the fire broke out, she had a traffic accident. The traffic police can prove it. Don't talk nonsense in the future. This is a rumor and it is not good for Lin Lan's reputation!"

"Isn't Lin Lan the murderer..."

"How is the relationship between your brother and Lin Lan? How did they break up?"

"My brother doesn't like Lin Lan, but that bitch is like a dog-skin plaster, always sticking to my brother. She just wants my brother's money. She is a very vicious woman. She killed my favorite pet dog. Woo woo, that was my favorite Teddy..."

"Why did they break up?"

"My brother doesn't love her, so he dumped her. A woman like her is not worthy of my brother!"

Xiao Zhang continued to ask: "Did your brother have a new girlfriend after breaking up with Lin Lan?"

Ye Zeling's face changed, and she denied it immediately: "No, my brother said that he will never have a girlfriend again. That bad woman Lin Lan hurt him too much, he will never fall in love with another woman again!"

Fang Rui asked: "Ms. Ye, do you have other brothers besides Ye Zeming?"

"Why do you ask that? I only have this one brother, where do other brothers come from?"

"It seems that your father has an illegitimate child, do you know about this?"

"Illegitimate child? Impossible! My father died when I was very young, how could he have another child?" Ye Zeling thought of something, "Did Lin Lan say that? She is a liar, she never tells the truth, don't believe her!"

After sending Ye Zeling away, Fang Rui fell into deep thought. Ye Zeling and Lin Lan both received calls from the deceased, and the deceased asked them to come to his house to find him. Is this a coincidence?

"Has the deceased's mobile phone been found?"

"Yes, it is in the evidence bag. However, the entire mobile phone has been burned by the fire, and the data inside may not be recovered."

"Let the technical department check it out to see if there are any clues."

"Okay!"

-

Case analysis meeting.

The DNA test results of the deceased have come out, and the results show that the deceased is related to Ye Zeling.

Xiao Zhang briefly introduced the case:

"The deceased is Ye Zeming, 33 years old, and a sculptor. The fire broke out around 9:30 this morning. The first person to discover the fire was the deceased's sister Ye Zeling.

According to Ye Zeling's description, she first received a call from her brother, and then she went to her brother's villa to see him, and saw that the whole villa was on fire. Later, there was an explosion."

Xiao Zhang continued: "Around 9 o'clock this morning, the deceased's neighbors saw the deceased making a phone call at the window. The deceased's ex-girlfriend happened to receive a call from the deceased at around 9 o'clock, which proves that the deceased was still alive at that time. So the time of death of the deceased should be between 9 and 10 o'clock."

Mu Mian interrupted him: "If the deceased is Ye Zeming, he should have been dead at that time and it would be impossible for him to call the outside world."

"But there is a phone recording to prove it. We have already played it to Ye Zeming's sister, and she is very sure that it is her brother's voice."

Mu Mian interrupted him: "Does Ye Zeling have other male relatives? Around 30 to 35 years old."

"Forensic Doctor Mu, why do you ask this?"

"If the deceased is Ye Zeming, then he couldn't have been alive at nine o'clock in the morning on the day of the crime!"

Mu Mian explained: "The burns and broken limbs on the deceased's body have no signs of life, which proves that the deceased

was already dead when the fire and explosion occurred. When a person just dies, the cells are still active, so the wounds will still have life reactions such as bleeding and coagulation, but his wounds have none of these, which proves that the deceased was dead at least three hours before the fire."

Everyone was shocked. The forensic autopsy results actually contradicted the situation they found.

Chen Xue analyzed: "Could it be that the force at the moment of the explosion was so great that the deceased died quickly, and coupled with the high temperature burning, so there was no life reaction on the wound?"

"But the deceased did not die of traumatic shock caused by limb separation.

The preliminary judgment is that the cause of death of the deceased was mechanical asphyxiation. The specific way of asphyxiation cannot be inferred at present, but at least it can be proved that it has nothing to do with the fire and explosion. Because no smoke was found in the nasal cavity, throat and lungs of the deceased.

In addition, we found a wound in the occipital lobe of the deceased's head. There were bleeding spots on the wound. It was a wound that occurred before the deceased died."

The people present were silent for a while. They originally thought that this was just an ordinary accident, but if someone deliberately faked a fire scene, then this would be a murder case.

Xiao Zhang asked, "But how do you explain that several people saw Ye Zeming before the fire?"

Mu Mian said: "Either there is something wrong with the identity of the deceased, or there is something wrong with their eyes."

"Now the identity of the deceased has been confirmed. He is related to Ye Zeling by blood, so he must be Ye Zeming. Could it be that the witnesses were collectively hallucinating and what they saw was a fake Ye Zeming?"

Fang Rui interrupted him: "Being related by blood does not mean that he is Ye Zeming. Lin Lan said that Ye Zeling has a half-brother, so we cannot be sure that the deceased is Ye Zeming."

Mu Mian agreed: "Yes. DNA testing can only prove that the two are related by blood. Ye Zeming's house has been burned down, and we can't find an uncontaminated DNA sample in his house."

Xiao Zhang had an idea, "We can go to Lin Lan's house to look for it. She is the deceased's ex-girlfriend, and her house must have the deceased's personal belongings, maybe with his hair or dandruff on them."

"But we can't be sure whether the sample extracted is from Ye Zeming."

Fang Rui looked at Mu Mian: "Doctor Mu, can you confirm the identity of the deceased?"

"Of course!" Mu Mian opened a photo, which was the deceased's mouth, "I found that his wisdom tooth on the lower left was pulled out. The root of that tooth is close to the nerve, so if the tooth in this position is pulled out, a CT scan of the mouth must be taken."

Mu Mian continued: "If the deceased is Ye Zeming, then he must have a record of tooth extraction, and we can also get a film of his teeth and compare it with the deceased's teeth. The shape of human teeth is unique, and this can be used to prove the identity of the deceased."
