Chapter 4: The Great Pit of Corpses. Lost Souls. Massacre. Soldiers... (Part 1)

  The accommodation arranged by the Provincial Department for us is an old house with a strong antique flavor, called "Lan Gong Guan". There are two plaques hanging outside, one reading "Former Site of Lan Gong Guan" and the other "National Second-Class Protected Building".

  It looks good from the outside, with a sense of history, rhythm and atmosphere. From the inside, it's still okay to "look".

  However, once you move in, you'll find that there's no air conditioning, no shower, and even no flush toilet!

  It's actually still using a spittoon, friends! Does anyone know what a spittoon is in this day and age?

  On the porcelain spittoon, delicate and elegant orchids are finely painted, making people sigh and lament: You say it's not good to use, but it's really beautiful; you say it's beautiful, but it's really TM useless...

  No air conditioning was installed because it would affect the exterior appearance of the building. Originally, a bathroom was to be installed, but the water pipes could not be connected. The main reason is that the building is old and we dare not touch it, fearing that it will affect the overall structure.

  It's no wonder that this old house, which has borne the weight of years, often trips and loses power.

  It's 2:30 in the middle of the night, and the power is out again.

  Wang Yong shone his phone light and suddenly appeared, "What are you up to again, my big sister?"

  "Huh? Didn't you go to bed early? Why do you wake up every time there's a power outage?"

  I'm so curious! He really comes over every time the power goes out, and he appears at an incredible speed. It's as if he doesn't sleep with the lights on, and even if he did, it wouldn't be "lights out, instant wake-up"!

  Wang Yong was furious: "Can't I jump up when the power is cut off?! Can't you sleep earlier?! Can't you sleep earlier?!"

  I'm so innocent: "I just want to bake a few meat-filled cakes, but the oven only has 300 watts and it's not working?"

  "What are you doing so late at night? Can't you just go out and buy something if you want to eat?"

  "There's no such cake in the store outside... Waaahhh... I want to eat this kind now..."

  "I think I'll miss you later..." Wang Yong suddenly became very sentimental, the white light from his phone's flashlight function made his face a little eerie, yet also a little dreamy.

  "What?" I asked.

  "Every time I feed the pigs, I think of you, definitely will."

  "Get out!"

  Mr. Chen walked over with an empty bowl from next door and asked, "What's going on? I just wanted to use the electric stove to cook a bowl of noodles, why is it so troublesome?" Mr. Chen had just returned from handling a cross-provincial serial murder case and for some reason had offended his wife, so he rolled up his bedding and came here to find an empty room to live in.

  "Look! Look! It wasn't me who did it! I told you 300 watts wouldn't be a problem!"

  Wang Yong said: "Is your forensic doctor's appetite too good?"

  "Don't say that," I said, "help me change the fuse."

  "No way," Wang Yong refused outright, "I'm staying here with you."

  "Ah...I'm not very good at this...to be on the safe side, I'll just call someone."

  "Alright, I'll go." It's just a safety net, I can handle it. Normally, I don't show off to give the boys a chance to perform.

  "Then I'll go with you."

  I took a glance at Wang Yong and felt that something was off about him, but I couldn't quite put my finger on what it was. Before I had time to think more about it, the three of our phones suddenly rang loudly at the same time!

  At this time when all the lights were out and the fire was extinguished, the three people's mobile phones suddenly rang loudly, which was extremely terrifying. We were all startled and answered to find that it was a major case, and the dispatch center called us to the scene.

  I'm not just sitting on a cold bench, "at home" there are other forensic doctors at that time this "good opportunity" doesn't even come to me, I hesitantly ask the dispatcher: "Can I go too?"

  "Don't waste words! Hurry up!" Old Chen had already slammed down the phone and was scolding me.

  The scene was a construction site where excavation work was in progress. When we arrived from the Lan Gongguan, the forensic doctor on duty at the Forensic Center also arrived almost simultaneously.

  The construction site was illuminated by searchlights as if it were daytime, and inside the warning line, people's heads were crowded together. Several teams of police officers and criminal police arrived almost simultaneously, and a high blue isolation wall had been erected around the perimeter, which could not be seen from the outside. Many police officers and technical personnel were also adding height and reinforcement to the wall.

  The director of the municipal bureau personally presided over it. (I get annoyed whenever I see this "broken" director, and I'll explain why later.)

  The municipal bureau saw Old Chen and said: "Old Chen, hurry up, you take charge of the forensic aspect. You're in charge of dispatching! Whoever needs to be dispatched, dispatch immediately; however many people are needed, dispatch that many."

  Such a serious and malicious case has never appeared in this province for decades.

  A "land king" with a bid price of 400 million yuan has just started construction and is preparing to build a building, but when excavating the foundation, a decomposed corpse was dug up. At first, the developer wanted to handle it low-key, which can be understood. So at the beginning, work was stopped for half a day, and the body was quietly taken away by a hearse.

  But just as the first body was removed and work had just resumed, two more bodies were dug up!

  The old detective felt something was off, and overnight he requested instructions from his leader and they started digging. By the time we arrived, they had already dug up eight corpses! The most frightening thing is that the number is still rising!

  This is a massive graveyard!

  Chen Lao, I, along with Dr. Jia and Dr. Gu, conducted a preliminary examination of the exhumed bodies at the scene, in addition to those already transported to the forensic center. There were eight deceased individuals, six males and two females, with a wide age range, from under 20 to possibly over 70 years old. Preliminary identification suggests that they died one to two years ago, with four of the bodies having undergone significant decomposition and four being fully skeletonized.

  "Tell me," said Old Chen.

  This is Chen Lao's test of our skills. This time, Chen Lao accepted a closed-door disciple with "twelve competing for one", the competition was even more cruel than a singing contest.

  "I hastily said: 'There are three bodies that can be initially identified as the cause of death. First, this one, let's temporarily set it as body number two. On the left side of the second rib, below the third rib and above the fourth rib, there is a very shallow diagonal crack. The crack is smooth, although the heart has rotted, but we can boldly infer that it was a knife stab to the heart that led to death. The knife was wide, sharp, and long, a rare murder weapon...it looks like...an ancient sword..."

  I slowed down in my own reasoning, and as soon as I slowed down, Dr. Guo took over: "Haha, small Qin's reasoning is indeed interesting, but Sword Ha... Ha is too rash. I've been following this case from the beginning, and I dissected the first body found this morning. The body has already ossified, and I've reassembled all the bones into a human shape. From the pelvis, I can tell that the deceased was male, and from the wear on his teeth and the condition of his foot bones, I estimate that he was around thirty years old. There are no obvious injuries, and his identity is currently unknown. The cause of death requires further investigation."

  Chen Lao furrowed his brow slightly after hearing Dr. Gu's words, "From now on, speak concisely and don't elaborate on conclusions that even interns can draw."

  Dr. Gu was left with egg on his face.

  Chen Lao asked Dr. Jia Fa, who had been silent all along: "Xiao Jia, what have you found?"

  Dr. Jia was examining a metacarpal bone with a magnifying glass, and upon hearing this, he continued to study while saying: "I've found something. On the corpse I'm examining now, I counted a total of 163 fractures and scratches on all the bones, which were formed before death. This metacarpal bone has irregular serrated wounds."

  "Chen Lao asked: 'Hm, what do you think?'"

  Dr. Jia stood up and replied respectfully: "Old Chen, it's like this, I think forensic medicine is based on science to provide autopsy results, as for inference hypothesis, it's not the work content of forensic medicine, I won't make any inferences. After the autopsy, I will form a detailed report and hand it over to you, hoping for your guidance."

  Mr. Chen smiled and nodded repeatedly: "Very good, great idea."

  I see that Old Chen is satisfied with Dr. Jia, which makes me a bit anxious. Old Chen himself is an expert in forensic medicine and criminal investigation, and he often appears at the scene to crack cases. However, modern criminal investigation requires more collaboration and specialization, so it's also possible that Old Chen wants to cultivate a "lab-based forensic doctor".

  "Chen Lao... I haven't finished speaking yet." I said weakly.

  Chen Lao glanced at the director of the municipal bureau not far away and hesitated before saying to me: "Later."

  The forensic doctor's mouth corners twitched with excitement at seeing his rival, but he restrained himself from showing too much joy and instead gave a subtle smile.

  "This is driving me crazy! I'm going to suffocate! I said recklessly: "The sixth victim was strangled to death, the sixth one was very tall, the murderer wasn't as tall as him, but his technique was too skilled, obviously he had been trained for a long time; The seventh female victim was shot..."

  "Gunshot?" Dr. Gu interrupted me, "You're not going to infer another circular hole from the bone again, are you? Ha."

  "No. The bullet head." I will present the bullet head dug out from the corpse in front of everyone.

  Having bullets = Involving guns!

  "Quickly send it for examination! Apply for special police reinforcement! I'll report to the municipal bureau right away and request... Ah! Hey! Wang Yong!!"

  The situation is beyond everyone's expectation!

  Wang Yong, that's right, Wang Yong! Wang Yong suddenly snatched the bullet head from my hand! Not only did he snatch it away, but he also took the bullet head out of the evidence bag with his bare hands without wearing gloves!

  Wang Yong came to the scene and just wandered around, seemingly very idle, looking here and there. I didn't pay much attention to him. Although he came with us and was also called "forensic doctor" like us, we all ignored him.

  Who would have thought he suddenly snatched the evidence?!

  "We all panicked and almost simultaneously shouted: 'Don't take it!' 'Don't take it!' 'Wear gloves!'"

  Chen Lao Hu said: "I've been doing criminal investigations for so many years, what haven't I seen?! Wang Yong!!"

  But it's too late!

  Wang Yong had already taken the bullet head in his hand, and after touching it with his fingers for a moment, he suddenly turned around and said: "Take it." Then he stuffed the bullet head and evidence bag back into my hands.

  Then he casually walked away while playing with his phone.

  "Listen up, kiddo! I saw something today that you'll definitely be interested in. You'd better be ready to owe me another favor..."

  We forensic doctors looked at each other in disbelief, wondering what had just happened!

  Chen's face turned pale: "Continue the investigation, I'll talk to the Municipal Bureau!"

  I think Wang Yong, this kind of official rich second generation, is originally enviable. If he doesn't cause trouble, nobody will bother him, but if he goes too far, people's tolerance for him also has a limit. I think Wang Yong is done for this time, it's better if he leaves. To be honest, Wang Yong's personality is likable, but his appearance really makes me feel annoyed.

  Chen Lao went to talk to the Municipal Bureau, Wang Yong hung up the phone and walked over as well. The three of them walked to a secluded area and had a very serious conversation, but their words were inaudible. Under the bright streetlights, it was clear that the Municipal Bureau was shaking his head, Chen Lao shook his head and questioned him further, while Wang Yong's profile wore a faint but unmistakable smile.

  A commotion in front of me, and another body was found. I'm concerned about the body, but I'm also really curious what they're talking about!

  In the end, I went to examine the body after all, because Dr. Gu and Dr. Jia were stunned, they both stared blankly at Mr. Chen's side, worried about what was going on over there.

  About two hours later, three cars of soldiers suddenly came in and controlled everyone. I don't know much about guns, only recognizing a few models used by special police like the HK33 and M16. I barely recognized that some soldiers were holding short but wide guns that seemed to be Tavor assault rifles, which are the latest type of assault rifle. The rest I couldn't recognize, but they looked more lethal than one another.

  These soldiers are not like those who play boxing, nor are they the kind of team that draws a few circles on the construction drawings and waits for money. They act very quickly and their momentum is very intimidating.

  Get off, control, and it appears in front of your eyes like lightning.

  There were SWAT police on the scene, three cars of soldiers rushed in and made the atmosphere extremely tense. Even I, a military idiot, could see that they were truly armed to the teeth! The armed police immediately pressed against their gun holsters, and all the SWAT police gripped their guns tightly.

  A young SWAT officer's gun was slightly tilted forward, and the soldier standing next to him reached out as if he had disassembled the HK33 in his hand with a touch, and in less than a second, the HK33 became a pile of broken parts, literally shattered all over the ground.

  During the disarming process, the soldier never looked at his gun, but instead stared coldly at the young SWAT officer with both eyes.

  Several red dots were aimed at several vital parts of this young SWAT officer.

  That SWAT officer's face turned white, it was clear that he was trying to be brave but his legs were still shaking uncontrollably.

  A man resembling an officer is talking with the municipal authorities.

  I curiously looked at the two soldiers pointing their guns at me, their eyes were really scary, not fierce, but cold, that kind of coldness that was below -9,000 degrees Celsius, it made people from head to toe feel so cold that they didn't dare move.

  However, I noticed that they didn't take me as a threat, so I plucked up the courage to smile and ask: "Uh...I'm a forensic doctor, you guys do your thing, can I continue with the autopsy?"

  "Don't move! Get down and cover your head!"

  Got it, the corpse is right next to me but I can only feel itchy in my heart.

  And what's going on here? This situation is making me so curious that I'm itching all over! It's even more intriguing than the case itself!

  Mass grave. Nine corpses. Shot dead. Brutal murder. Soldiers with loaded guns...

  The people on the scene were taken away one after another. A particularly beautiful female soldier walked in front of me and said, "Follow me."

  "Huh? What's going on?" I'm actually a bit scared.

  The female soldier was relatively kind and replied to me: "Search your body, then you can go."

  "Huh?" I was taken aback for a moment, then said, "I'm a forensic doctor..."

  The female soldier looked at me strangely and repeated: "After searching your body, you can leave, go."

  "I said, 'I'm a forensic doctor, not... I mean, I have to do an autopsy!' As I spoke, my mouth became more agile and I continued, 'After the body search, can I come back and continue the autopsy? What's going on here, can I ask? Of course, I won't get an answer... Hehe, but you can't just chase me away like this, I still have to do the autopsy, this corpse still needs to be dug up and autopsied..."

  The female soldier interrupted me as I turned to leave, saying "We've taken over. After a body search, someone will have you sign a confidentiality agreement, and then you'll forget everything that happened today."

  "Huh?" I was stunned.

  The female soldier then reached out and pulled me over, saying to the two male soldiers who were staring at me, "Are you guys scaring her?"

  "How dare you..."

  "Can't be, right? Did we scare them off?..."

  I shook off the female soldier's hand and said: "I'm not scared, I refuse to leave!"

  This time it was their turn to be stunned.
