Chapter 274 Fatigue Fracture
This is a relatively niche method of solving crimes. Some botanists will judge whether there are buried corpses in an area based on the density difference of plant distribution. However, this method is very accurate, but the probability of hitting a human corpse is very low because A large number of creatures die every day in nature, and most of the abnormal areas are caused by dead animals.
Therefore, although Cen Lian has always known this method of solving crimes, he rarely uses it.
After all, checking the problematic areas one by one would consume a lot of manpower, material and financial resources, and most areas would be useless. After all, he had a plug-in, so he would prefer other troubleshooting methods.
But now that the plug-in didn't work at all, and the Liangzhou Municipal Bureau only wanted to solve the case regardless of the budget, Cen Lian felt that this method of casting a wide net for investigation could be used.
"This method is indeed a bit biased," Forensic Doctor Lin finished the autopsy. "The remaining bones of the corpse are only about one-third to one-quarter. The murderer was very careful when dismembering the body. The bones that may reveal his identity should be It has been processed separately. What can be seen now are basically the bones of the trunk and limbs. Among them, the hand bones and foot bones are incomplete. There is also a less obvious feature. The lower leg bones of the deceased are partially incomplete, and It’s not divided according to the position of the joints, but it seems to be to avoid some old injuries.”
"Old injury," Cen Lian carefully looked at the left leg with only half of the calf bone left. "Is there a less obvious healing line?"
"The edge is too severely weathered. I'm not 100% sure," Forensic Doctor Lin pointed to the inconspicuous marks on the half-remaining leg bone. "I tend to think this is the healing line left after a fatigue fracture heals."
Fatigue fracture is not a very common disease. In daily life, it is only likely to occur in people who need to exercise for a long time or perform a lot of physical labor.
Even ordinary detectives like Cen Lian and others rarely have such problems, but the armed police brigade next door heard of similar cases.
"So the deceased may have been a manual worker or a retired military policeman," Cen Lian pondered, "Can you tell how long ago this fracture occurred?"
"It has been completely healed and the traces are not obvious. It has been more than five years." Forensic Doctor Lin took another look, "You can even continue to relax the time."
It seems that it is difficult to confirm the identity of the deceased through fractures. According to the five years that forensic doctor Lin originally said, it is also a huge workload.
What's more, if the deceased was injured while on active duty, he might even have been treated in a military hospital, which would make it more difficult to investigate.
"A middle-aged man was killed, and there is a high probability that the victim is not the same person." Wu Qiushan watched forensic doctor Lin put down his leg bones and began to clean up the autopsy table, then turned to look at Cen Lian, "A gang committed the crime, and the methods were extremely evil. The murderer's purpose It’s very clear, it’s killing people and silencing them.”
Such a professional method of mutilating corpses does not look like killing with passion.
"There must be a purpose for gangs to commit crimes," Qi Yunlong felt that his mind had opened up a lot. "In our area, people are either looking for money or they are violent terrorists."
"Long Province, isn't it?" Cen Lian hesitated, "There was a situation similar to that in Xinjiang Province in your province before?"
Qi Yunlong smiled, "After all, there is no harm in thinking more."
Cen Lian didn't know what to say, but he didn't think about it in this direction.
The reason is also very simple. The method of dismembering the body of the deceased seriously lacks a sense of ritual. From top to bottom, it highlights the dismemberment skills of the corpse dismemberer. Compared with the cult, the style of painting does not match.
