Experts are worthy of being experts. Not long after Gao Facai arrived, new news came from the forensics department one after another.
First, Gao Facai extracted a common soil microorganism from the surface of the metal box, and through the growth cycle of the microorganism, he calculated the year the metal box was buried in the soil.
According to his calculation, Tao Xiang's metal box was buried there 10 to 13 years ago. Du Manting died 21 years ago. This discovery shows that Tao Xiang did not bury the box just after Du Manting was buried.
Immediately afterwards, heavyweight discoveries followed one after another. Gao Facai actually detected the relevant time through certain trace elements in the skull remains and preservatives.
It turned out that the preservatives and the head were dumped together in a metal box 5 to 7 years ago.
5 to 7 years ago, it happened to be the time when Tao Xiang stole the Tamil Star. He happened to dump the deceased's head into the treasure chest at this time. What was his purpose
Soon, Gao Facai led his team to use a certain chemical method to detect trace amounts of lacquerware and gold and silver powder from the scratches inside the metal box.
In this way, it can be proved that other gold and silver lacquerware should have been stored in that metal box. I wonder, are those gold and silver lacquerware the treasures of Taoxiang
Through these three discoveries, Zhao Yu and others can roughly figure out a time context:
About 10 years ago, Tao Xiang buried a metal box in Du Manting's grave. At that time, the metal box may have contained many gold and silver treasures. Perhaps, Tao Xiang came to pay homage to Du Manting, or perhaps because Tao Xiang needed a place to store his treasures.
However, one day six years ago, Tao Xiang took the treasure out of the box and replaced it with the head of the deceased!
So, that day 6 years ago seems to have become a key node. I wonder what happened to make Tao Xiang do that
Is it really related to Tamil Star
Is it true that if this problem can be solved, the whereabouts of the treasure and the Tamil star can be found
Gao Facai's efficiency was astonishing. It was only ten minutes after lunch when he made a new discovery. Through the examination of six heads, he found that the embalming methods of these heads and the composition of the embalming fluid in which they were originally soaked were different.
The older the head, the more simple the antiseptic method and the ingredients of the antiseptic liquid. But in the later stages, anti-corrosion techniques became more and more advanced and sophisticated.
Although this discovery was shocking, Zhao Yu had been mentally prepared for it.
Because Gao Facai's discovery is very consistent with the autopsy report on the case of the headless female corpse.
After the case came out that year, forensic doctors also discovered a pattern. The more headless female corpses appeared later, the more sophisticated their embalming methods became.
Therefore, the police believe that the murderer kept trying and making progress throughout the entire crime process. In the process of handling the corpse, he was also looking for better embalming methods.
Especially when it came to Bai Lili later, the body was treated quite well.
The murderer opened a gap in the groin artery of the corpse, drained the deceased's blood with a professional instrument, and then poured in a homemade antiseptic liquid from the carotid artery. This liquid not only acts as an antiseptic, but can also bring the dead to life!
It is said that this technique can only be understood by very professional embalmers, especially the special antiseptic liquid, which is usually a family secret recipe and will not be easily passed on to others.
Gao Facai's autopsy report pointed out that a hole was found in Bai Lili's head. He suspected that the murderer might have tried to extract Bai Lili's brain in order to try some kind of head antisepsis test. Moreover, traces of some kind of antiseptic agent were also found on some skin tissues.
From this, there are various signs that the murderer put a lot of effort into the embalming of the corpse. The murder was more like an experiment, which is obviously beyond the psychological scope of ordinary murderers.
"Oops!" Looking at the reports coming from the forensics department, the members of the special investigation team who were enjoying lunch no longer had the appetite to eat. Wu Xiumin frowned while looking at the reports and told everyone Said, "Why do I feel that this case is not that simple anymore? There are many things that seem reasonable, but they seem to be unexplainable!"
"Really? What about?" Ran Tao put down his lunch box and asked curiously.
"Look... Tao Xiang likes that woman and won't let anyone bully Du Manting. Whoever dares to offend Du Manting will be turned into a headless female corpse!" Wu Xiumin frowned, "But why doesn't he kill Cui Fangyu directly? Don't you think it was Cui Fangyu's betrayal that led to Du Manting's death? Moreover, not only did he not kill Cui Fangyu, but he later helped Cui Fangyu find his child. Isn't this unreasonable? "
"This is an easy explanation. Tao Xiang doesn't have that kind of function, so what can I do if I kill Cui Fangyu?" Ran Tao said, patting his chest, "I see, everything was done secretly by Tao Xiang, and it all belongs to him." It’s just wishful thinking, neither Du Manting nor Cui Fangyu knows anything about it!”
"Hmm... tsk tsk..." Wu Xiumin added, "If the six women Tao Xiang killed were all for Du Manting, then why did he bury her head there instead of waiting for Du Manting for so many years? Moreover, even if you wait for so many years, why don't you just put the head inside, but first put a lot of treasures and then move them back and forth? It really doesn't make sense! Treasures and heads are exchanged back and forth. What on earth is this? for what?"
"You've never been married, you don't know!" Ran Tao started to tease Wu Xiumin again, "Do you think it's easy to raise a child? Tao Xiang needs time and money to raise Cui Lizhu, so in order to raise a child As an adult, he dug up all the treasures and sold them?"
"I just said, you better not interrupt when discussing the case in the future!" Wu Xiumin pouted, "Your greatest skill is to mislead the direction! Go eat your lunch, and don't talk! Please..."
Tsk tsk…
Listening to the discussions among the team members, Zhao Yu also felt something strange. He also felt that there were indeed many strange things about Tao Xiang.
Moreover, Tao Xiang's personal situation is also very different from many of his previous speculations.
For example, judging from the details of the murderer's handling of the headless female corpse, this person must be a meticulous, gloomy, and almost paranoid perfectionist!
However, in addition to being delicate in mind, Tao Xiang, the King of Thieves, does not seem to fit these characteristics.
If Tao Xiang was truly a perfectionist, the head placed in the box should not look like that. The box was so big, and there was plenty of space inside. He could put the head in it together with the bottle containing the embalming fluid!
Just like Li Dan who was involved in the hand-chopping case, Li Dan was not a paranoid in the strict sense, but he still kept the severed arm in a safe place! So as the murderer of the headless female corpse case, shouldn't he store it more carefully
Tsk... The more Zhao Yu thought about it, the more he felt that the evidence obtained today was a little off.
Could it be that... there is something else hidden in this case
Does Tao Xiang have an accomplice, or... Tao Xiang is not the real murderer at all!
