"Although it has been 30 years, the preservation of the bones is better than we imagined," Zhang Peipei said, pointing to the bones on the big screen. "The DNA extraction was very smooth, and, except for very small bones, most of the bones Basically it can be restored!
"Look..." She pointed to the charred corpse on the big screen, "After the splicing and restoration, we can clearly see that half of the right arm of the adult female skeleton is missing!
"It's missing, not incomplete. Judging from the length of the broken arm bone, it also matches the arm in the safe..."
It can be said that the agents of the special investigation team have seen too many corpses and are not surprised by them.
However, after seeing these four charred corpses of varying sizes, everyone still felt a little uncomfortable.
"Oh my god," Ran Tao said in surprise, "if... Sun Yujiao's arm was cut off before the fire, then... then what kind of accident was it that the fire disappeared?"
"Not necessarily, right? It depends..." Cui Lizhu gestured to her arm, "When was her hand cut off?"
"Gao Chaolin's younger brother said," Zhao Yu said thoughtfully, "that he had never heard of Sun Yujiao's arm being chopped off!
"If the arm was chopped off a long time before the fire, then... why didn't they call the police? If the hand was chopped off, at least go to the hospital?"
"I..." Zeng Ke said quickly, "I'm going to check out what hospital is there on Wen'an Road!"
"Their family..." Wu Xiumin said, "They were murdered at home! If Sun Yujiao's arm was cut off, how could she be at home? She should still be in the hospital, right?"
"Well..." Zhao Yu nodded slightly, "Looking at it this way, that fire... was really a bit strange!
"Maybe... the murderer's real purpose was to cut off Sun Yujiao's hand, and the fire... was a cover-up!"
When Zhao Yu said this, everyone got goosebumps.
"Your imagination..." Cui Lizhu bit her lip and said, "Do you think that the murderer set fire to their whole family to cover up the fact that he chopped off the mistress's arm? This... what kind of logic is this?"
"That era was different from now," Zhao Yu insisted, "A fire at that time could burn away the evidence!
"Facts have proved that he succeeded!" Zhao Yu pointed at the big screen and said, "Although four people died, it was still regarded as an accident. One body was missing an arm, and it was not even discovered!"
"Fire... fire..." Cui Lizhu still couldn't believe it, "Is it really an accident?"
"Tsk, tsk..." Ran Tao smacked his lips, "The murderer first cut off Sun Yujiao's arm and then burned their whole family? Is this... unnecessary
“Why chop off their hands when a fire can burn them to death
"If it's to leave a souvenir," Ran Tao asked again, "why not use the head as a souvenir like Li Fei did, but use an arm instead?"
"Are you a fool?" Cui Lizhu looked at Ran Tao with contempt, "If only one skull was missing, one would know at a glance that the fire was not an accident?"
"Oh..." Ran Tao quickly sat down dejectedly.
"If this case were placed now, it would be too simple!" Zeng Ke said, holding a piece of information, "Unfortunately, that was thirty years ago!
"We only have such a simple fire report. It is probably impossible to determine whether the fire was man-made or an accident, right?"
"No, not necessarily!" Unexpectedly, Zhang Peipei suddenly understood Zeng Ke's words, pulled out a photo from the report, and said, "Before this, I have already seen the fire scene report from that year!
"These photos alone may be able to explain some problems... Look..."
She took out the photos of the fire victims 30 years ago and put them on the projector, and a huge photo appeared on the big screen.
The photo showed a burnt corpse.
"This," Zhang Peipei said, "is a photo of Gao Chaolin's daughter. His daughter was 11 years old at the time. We can see through the body that the girl had obvious signs of struggle when she was killed!
"Look at this again," she put another photo on the projector. "This is their son who was only 8 years old at the time. He also showed obvious signs of struggle...
"But..." Then, she posted the last photo and said, "Look at the photos of the bodies of Mr. and Mrs. Gao Chaolin..."
But in the photo, a pair of burnt corpses appeared. Due to the severe burning, the two corpses were overlapped and it was impossible to tell who was with whom...
"This is..." Ran Tao looked at it seriously and murmured, "Is there a problem with this...? Could it be that... Did Forensic Doctor Zhang mean that there were no signs of struggle between the two of them
"It looks like... there is one, right?"
"I have read the report carefully," Zhao Yu said. "The report shows that the fire was caused by an electrical short circuit, and the fire point was in the room of Gao Chaolin and his wife.
“The police believe that the couple was asleep at the time and the fire burned so fast that by the time they discovered it, it was too late to escape.
"They scrambled to the door but were choked by the smoke and burned to death on the bedroom floor.
“The two of them had their heads pointed toward the door, and one arm stretched forward, obviously showing signs of struggle.
"The bodies of the two were stacked together, and the bones were adhering to each other. In addition, the police believed that the fire was accidental, so they did not discover that Sun Yujiao was missing half of her arm!
"Forensic Doctor Zhang..." Zhao Yu looked at the big screen and asked, "Is there anything wrong with the bodies of Gao Chaolin and his wife?"
"The problem lies in the corpse below," Zhang Peipei pointed at the photo and said, "The burnt corpse below is the hostess Sun Yujiao!
"The photo is a little blurry. We can't see clearly whether Sun Yujiao struggled, but..." Zhang Peipei said seriously, "We can see that Sun Yujiao's face is facing upward!"
"oh oh… "
After hearing Zhang Peipei's introduction, Ran Tao and others suddenly realized and exclaimed.
Zhao Yu was also shocked, and his eyes suddenly widened.
"If the fire suddenly broke out in order to survive," Zhang Peipei continued, "then the two of them should have faced down and made an escape gesture..."
"Really?" Cui Lizhu asked doubtfully, "Looking at it like this, couldn't it be that Sun Yujiao hugged her husband when she saw that there was no hope of survival
"Or maybe Gao Chaolin wants to use his body to protect his wife?"
"No..." Zhang Peipei shook his head and said, "My point is not here. I have seen too many burned corpses before. If they were burned to death by fire, the bodies of the deceased would curl up! Just like their children...
"But... the bodies of Gao Chaolin and his wife are straight. This is a very obvious - suspicious point!!!"
