D F T F Chapter 84: Identity.

"How did you know if the wound is before death? Or left after death?" Zhao Ming has no experience, what Han Bin said was too professional; he still couldn't figure it out.

"If a living person is injured, there will be contractility of the skin and the muscles surrounding the injury will swell on both sides; if he was injured after death, the periphery of the wound wouldn't swell," explained Han Bin.

Zhao Ming observed the corpse again, and it was as judged before, it was as Han Bin said and showed a look of admiration: "Brother Bin is still professional!"

Han Bin smiled. These are the Knowledge Points he traded from the Criminal Investigation Database with Merit Points.

Li Hui rolled his eyes: "Brother Bin, can you not tear down the Buddy Chain?"

“I'm afraid you will ruin the new kid,” Han Bin was serious.

“Brother Hui, as long as the three of us are here, you are still a hypocrite,” Zhao Ming couldn't smile a little bitterly.

Li Hui scratched his head and looked around, as if… it really was.

Soon after, the police from the station rushed in and cordoned off the drowned woman. The policeman who took the lead was called Sun Jian Yi, the police chief of the local police station. After both parties showed up, the other party's eyes were a little different.

Han Bin looked down and suddenly remembered that the three of them were only wearing swimsuits.

......

The murder case is not a trivial matter, especially for tourist cities like Qingdao, where life in tourist attractions like the seaside will have some impact on the economy of Qingdao City as a whole.

The medical examiner and the technical team were not present, and without their presence, the corpse could not be moved at will, moreover, no fatal injuries were noted. Given the current situation on the scene, it is difficult to judge whether it is a suicide or a homicide.

Forty minutes later, Zheng Kaixuan led the other members of the Second Group of the Third Criminal Investigation Team from Qingdao to Golden Beach; Zhang Ping and Tian Li. Branch forensic doctor Wu Xia, forensic assistant Qiao Ziming, and Lu Wen from the technical team also rushed to the scene.

"Why are you three boys here?" Zheng Kaixuan asked.

By this time, Han Bin and the other two had changed their clothes, and they all looked serious, they dared not wander past Captain Zheng Kaixuan in swimsuits.

"The three of us made an appointment to go to the beach to play together and take a break to rest. We weren't expecting to meet the woman's corpse," Han Bin replied a little helplessly, with one side he was sorry for the deceased, and on the other side their weekend was also ruined.

The scene was handed over to the medical examiner and the technical team, and as Zheng Kaixuan could not stand still, he asked Han Bin and the other two people: "Do you have any conclusions?"

"We found the body around ten o'clock. No fatal injuries were found. It is very likely that it was a death by drowning. As for suicide or homicide, it is still difficult to be determined."

"Is there anything that can prove the identity of the deceased?"

Han Bin thought for a moment: "I think the deceased may be a foreign tourist."

"How did you know?"

“The deceased's left wrist wore a shell bracelet. It is a common tourist souvenir in Qingdao and rarely purchased by locals,” Han Bin analyzed.

Tian Li walked over to the corpse and observed it: “Han Bin is right. It is true local girls rarely buy such bracelets.”

Zheng Kaixuan nodded and ordered: "Tian Li, Zhao Ming, go to the police station in this jurisdiction to check up on missing persons, especially female tourists from other places."

"Yes, Captain."

While the forensic and technical teams were busy studying the corpse, Zheng Kaixuan, Zhang Ping, Han Bin, and Li Hui stood together and chatted calmly.

Zheng Kaixuan looked serious: “Golden Beach is a well-known tourist attraction in Qingdao. A female body was found on the beach. This incident will have a negative impact on Qingdao's image. If the deceased committed suicide, we should find out the identity of the deceased as soon as possible and call her family to come and identify the corpse; if it was a homicide, the case must be resolved as quickly as possible in order to minimize the impact of the homicide.”

“Captain Zheng, don't worry, no matter what matter is entrusted to us, we will do our best to solve it,” Zhang Ping said.

“I know it naturally, but I have to say it,” Zheng Kaixuan smiled: "The two of you are handling the business well, as soon as you're not busy for a while, I'll make up the vacation for you."

"Thank you, Captain Zheng."

Han Bin and Li Hui looked at each other and smiled bitterly at the same time. Just hearing these words from Captain Zheng meant that the police were never busy.

After a while, Wu Xia and the tech team had completed their investigation, and Zheng Kaixuan approached her and asked: "Old Wu, suicide or homicide?"

“I can only tell you that the deceased drowned and that there is no obvious sign of entanglement or fighting. As for suicide or homicide, you have to investigate for yourself, Wu Xia said.

"What did you find on the deceased?" Han Bin asked.

"There is debris in the nails of the deceased, and what kind of substance it is, it needs to be brought back for further testing."

"What is the exact time of death?"

"Because the body is soaked in seawater, it will affect the accuracy of the autopsy, and the approximate time since his death is between 10 hours and 14 hours."

"Are there any other characteristics in the deceased that can help identify her?"

"I haven't found it yet." Wu Xia shook her head and took off her gloves: "The detailed situation and the test report will be unknown until the corpse is re-examined."

"Thank you for your hard work. ~ Lu Wen, how about you?"

"The deceased drowned. She soaked in seawater for too long, and a lot of evidence is missing. Besides, this is not the first time, and there is little evidence to collect." Lu Wen held his glasses in the palm of his hand as usual when giving his suggestion.

"It is better to find where the dead woman fell in the water so that we can find more clues."

“We will do our best,” Zheng Kaixuan replied.

“The deceased was photographed as evidence, and a sample was taken for DNA testing and the fingerprints were also collected, and I will take them back to the branch for comparison,” Lu Wen said.

"If the identity of the deceased is found, let me know as soon as possible."

"Yes, Captain."

......

The body of the deceased was put in a body bag and transported, and the technical team and the medical examiner also left.

“Captain Zheng, what do we do now?” Li Hui asked.

Zheng Kaixuan glanced at his watch: "It is past eleven o'clock, you are going to eat something, I will wait for Tian Li or the technical team to confirm the identity of the deceased, then I will organize the next action."

"Yes, Captain."

“Brother Bin, where are we going to eat?”

"The vacation is over. Let's find an affordable place. There is nothing to eat here.”

“Yes, it's over before it starts,” Li Hui shrugged.

"Who asked us to do this work?" Han Bin patted Li Hui on the shoulder.

I don't know if it is to comfort Li Hui or comfort himself.

“Brother Bin, it's a shame to say it,” Li Hui sighed.

"What?"

"The girl who drowned is beautiful or rather very beautiful. She died at a young age. What a pity you know!" Li Hui said with emotion.

“You kid, don't you think her boyfriend would be crazy,” Han Bin looked worried.

"What are you talking about; I don't want to live it myself, okay?" Li Hui corrected.

“Yes, you can be happy,” Han Bin shrugged.

The two got into the car; Li Hui started the car and asked: "What are we eating?"

"I do not know."

The two had just finished looking at the corpse, so it was strange to have an appetite.

“Let's go straight back to the branch and eat instant noodles when we're hungry,” Han Bin suggested.

"Can you add an egg?" Li Hui asked.

"I'll bring you some pickled mustard as well."

"Luxury!"

After the two had walked a few meters, they looked at Tian Li's WeChat group message. "The identity of the deceased was found, and someone came to the police station to report his disappearance."

Han Bin waved his hand, following Zheng Kaixuan's tone: "Dear Hui, hurry to go to the office!»
