Magic City Police Station, Autopsy Room.
Here, Zhao Yu finally saw the half arm that had been locked in the safe for decades.
The arm had turned into a black skeleton, which looked a little uncomfortable.
"Team leader, a little bit of clothing fibers were found on the arm," said forensic doctor Zhang Peipei, "but the number of those fibers is very small, which means that when the arm was put in, someone took off the sleeve of the arm!"
"But," Zhao Yu thought clearly, "when the arm was cut off, it was still wearing clothes, right?"
"Yes!" Zhang Peipei nodded.
"It seems," Zhao Yu said, "when the arm was cut off, the owner of the arm must have been unprepared! So... can you tell whether the arm was cut off from a dead person or a living person? "
"This is very difficult," Zhang Peipei said. "One is that it took too long, and the other is that the safe was not the first place where the arm was chopped off. We checked the blood stains and found that there was very little blood left.
"It's possible that someone treated the arm before putting it in the safe, such as drying the residual blood in the arm, or wiping it..."
"Oh..." Zhao Yu thought for a moment and then asked, "Didn't you say... there is a watch on your arm?"
"Yes," Zhang Peipei immediately opened an evidence box and handed the watch inside to Zhao Yu for viewing. At the same time, he explained, "When the arm was found, the watch was still on the arm!"
Zhao Yu looked down and saw that it was a rather old-fashioned mechanical watch. Although the watch was already rusty, judging from the style and shape of the watch, it should not be an ordinary watch.
"It's diamond-encrusted!" Sure enough, Zhang Peipei said, "We checked and found that this watch is no longer available. Its name is Sunda Norway. It is produced in Switzerland. Its sales volume is very small. It was discontinued in the 1990s. , the factory was also acquired by Richard Mille!”
"Diamond-encrusted?" Zhao Yu secretly smacked his lips, "This watch... must be very valuable, right?"
While talking, Zhao Yu took a closer look and found that the hands of the watch had stopped beating long ago, and the time was at around three o'clock.
"We haven't checked the specific value yet, because this kind of watch is relatively rare and there is currently no market price!" Zhang Peipei said, "However, since it is set with diamonds, it is definitely worth a lot of money!"
"Interesting..." Zhao Yu narrowed his eyes, "For such a valuable watch, the person who put his arm in the safe never thought of selling the watch
"It seems that this must be a rich master!"
"Currently," Zhang Peipei said, "we have only detected the DNA of the arm from the safe, and nothing else."
"Then..." Zhao Yu asked again, "Is there any news about the data comparison?"
"No," Zhang Peipei shook his head, "It's not in the missing persons list, nor in the database. I'm afraid, if you want to find the owner of the arm, you can only ask geneticists to come out and see if the genetic map can pinpoint the target!"
"Where is the similar DNA?" Zhao Yu asked, "Didn't we do this during the Ghost King case? If we can find a close relative of the owner of the arm, wouldn't it be possible to find out the identity?"
"I've checked," Zhang Peipei said helplessly, "I haven't found any close relatives of the owner of the arm. The ones I can find are all from outside the fifth server. Because the number of people is too large, it may be difficult to start!"
"Hey, this is interesting..." Zhao Yu touched his forehead, "It seems that this case is really difficult!"
"Team leader," Zhang Peipei said, "We tested the date of the arm bone and put it in the safe about 30 years ago. This case will definitely not be easy to investigate. Do you think... should we take this case?"
Zhao Yu understood what Zhang Peipei meant. The special investigation team was usually appointed by the Criminal Department to deal with serious and important cases. Personnel like the safe arm was not within their scope.
If Zeng Ke had not sent people to investigate the Tianqin Group this time, the safe and the arm would not have been found.
"Didn't the Magic City talk to you?" Zhang Peipei said, "Although this case is old, I'm afraid it can't even be determined as a murder case now!"
"So far, no one has talked to me," Zhao Yu said, "However, regarding Zhu Yundi's case, we have to stay in Shanghai for ten and a half days, so this case should be adjusted!
"What if it's a murder?"
"Okay, you are the team leader, I listen to you!" Zhang Peipei said, "In this case, I will contact my teacher and give him the DNA and let them analyze the map!"
"Okay, but," Zhao Yu said, "Although this case is old, now we have three directions to explore in addition to DNA and genetic mapping!
"First," Zhao Yu turned to Zeng Ke and said, "investigate the origin of the safe. The safe will not be created out of thin air, and it is unique. As long as you find out who the safe belongs to, you can find important clues!
"Second," Zhao Yu stretched out two fingers, "A diamond-encrusted watch that costs thirty years is not affordable for ordinary people! Moreover, the watch has been discontinued. Perhaps, we can check the origin of the watch!"
After saying that, Zhao Yu began to pack his things and prepare to leave.
"Hmm..." Zhang Peipei was curious, "Didn't you say there are three directions?"
"Cough cough... cough cough..." Zhao Yu coughed dryly, "When I think of the third direction, I will tell you first!"
"..." Zhang Peipei and Zeng Ke were speechless.
…
Ten minutes later, the Magic City Police Department opened an office with advanced equipment for Zhao Yu.
This is Zhao Yu's first time in Magic City, and it feels quite fresh.
Due to some follow-up matters from the last black pupil case, Wu Xiumin stayed in Jinghai and had to wait a few days before coming over.
Miao Ying returned to the headquarters of the Secret Service to participate in the follow-up processing of Xi Wei's treasure.
Through continuous operations, the agents finally took out the waterproof cabin hanging under the cruise ship. After opening it, they saw a large number of rare treasures, gold and silver, and cash in currencies of various countries.
Of course, they also discovered a large amount of top-secret information stored in computer hard drives. However, all that information used advanced encryption methods. It would take a certain amount of time to decipher the information.
In addition, due to their extensive involvement, Zhu Yundi and Simona were also brought back to the headquarters for secret interrogation. These two people knew about the illegal activities of the Xiwei Group and must be handled with caution.
In addition, the case of Sun Jinjian and his wife's murder of Zhu Xicheng was also handed over to the local police, and there was basically no special investigation team involved.
From this, Zhao Yu's work in the Magic City was just a formality, so he took the safe case with nothing to do.
At this moment, sitting in the office, Zhao Yu crossed his legs and sipped coffee.
Opposite him, there is a whiteboard, with only a few words written on the whiteboard: "Safe Broken Arm Case".
This feeling is the most comfortable for Zhao Yu.
Everything that happened on the cruise ship before was completely out of his usual habit of handling cases, which made him a little uncomfortable. And because of my illness, I felt particularly strenuous.
It's fine now, and I'm finally back to my familiar rhythm.
Um…
Zhao Yu looked at the empty whiteboard and wondered to himself, what story would be behind this half arm
