Chapter 420 Corrupted Corpse

As soon as the elevator door opened, a foul smell hit our noses.

Li Hong and Yang Wanshu, who were caught off guard, could not help but retch twice.

Chen Yan also frowned.

If he had not been exposed to this smell frequently, and had not encountered a highly decomposed corpse in the last roadbed burial case, Chen Yan could not help it.

Wang Hu on the side quickly handed over three masks.

However, this thing only treats the symptoms and not the root cause.

It has no effect on the smell of corpses.

It can only serve as psychological comfort.

Li Hong and Yang Wanshu took the masks and put them on quickly.

Chen Yan waved his hand.

After investigating so many cases, Chen Yan deeply understands the importance of smell in finding clues.

Although not every case will have clues about smell.

But most of the time, it can give Chen Yan all the inspiration.

However, the three people understand what Wang Hu said just now, that the detectives responsible for on-site investigation are slow in their work.

With this smell, ordinary people can't get in without a gas mask.

At the door of Room 1102.

At this moment, the cordon has been set up.

Room 1102 is in the middle of the unit building.

It is opposite the elevator.

It is a middle-sized apartment.

When entering the room, the more pungent smell of corpses hits you in the face.

When investigating the indoor crime scene, the original state is generally maintained without change.

For example, the state of the doors and windows. If the doors and windows were closed at the time of the crime, these details should also be investigated during the investigation.

Therefore, the investigators will not open the windows for ventilation just because the smell of corpses is strong.

Enter the door and face the living room directly.

The Imperial Family Community is a high-end community.

The apartment area is generally large.

The room where the crime occurred is a 148-square-meter apartment.

At a glance, the living room is about 50 square meters.

The living room is luxuriously decorated with dark purple curtains, mahogany furniture, and jade ornaments opposite the sofa.

Clean, tidy, and generous.

The decoration is very tasteful.

"The body was found in the bathroom."

Wang Hu was in front, leading Chen Yan and the other two to turn left.

"This house is quite large. The bathroom is about 20 square meters. The owner put a bathtub there."

"The body was found in the bathtub."

Turning around the corner, facing the bathroom.

Two detectives were wearing masks and squatting on the ground to investigate carefully.

"Xiao Zhang, Xiao Chen, you take a break first."

The two detectives saw their leader coming and hurriedly got up, packed up their things, saluted and left.

At this moment, Chen Yan and the other two who followed Wang Hu also saw the situation in the bathroom.

Ugh!

Li Hong and Yang Wanshu suddenly turned pale and vomited.

Then, without caring about face, they ran out quickly.

Chen Yan's face was also very ugly.

Pale without a trace of blood.

The stomach was also rolling!

Finally...

Ugh!

Chen Yan finally couldn't help it, turned around and ran out!

In the corridor, Chen Yan, Li Hong and Yang Wanshu looked at the vomit in the corridor and smiled bitterly at each other.

Obviously, it was not just the three of them who vomited.

Wang Hu, the captain of the Shen City Detective Team 3, and Wang Sheng, the deputy captain, had already prepared mineral water on the side.

"Three leaders, rinse your mouths."

Chen Yan and the other two were not polite.

As a result, they drank the mineral water in gulps.

Pah!

Li Hong spit out the mineral water in his mouth: "I have been a policeman for so many years, but I didn't expect to be embarrassed today."

Yang Wanshu also shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I am still different."

Chen Yan also smiled bitterly.

To be honest, let's talk about handling cases.

Although Chen Yan has the shortest time in the police force, he has experienced more cases than everyone at the scene.

What kind of weird scenes have Chen Yan not seen in the past year?

The scene of cooking meat is no problem.

But...

This is the first time Chen Yan has seen a scene like today.

"Old Li, Captain Yang, you wait outside for a while, Captain Wang Hu will follow me in."

Thinking about the scene just now, Chen Yan looked at Li Hong and Yang Wanshu.

The case has now been taken over by the serious case team. According to the normal process, Li Hong and Yang Wanshu just accompanied him and did not need to enter the scene.

"How can that be possible?"

Li Hong was the first to quit.

"Team Leader Chen, don't worry, this small scene is no problem!"

Yang Wanshu also patted his chest: "What's more, you are handling a case for the Shen City Detective Team."

"If I don't go in, how can I gain a foothold in the Liao Province Detective Team in the future?"

Chen Yan no longer insisted on seeing this.

Taking a deep breath, the familiar smell of the corpse was not so irritating.

Turned and entered the room.

In the bathroom.

The body was lying on its back in the bathtub.

On the way here, Chen Yan reported the brief information of the case to those who had seen it.

The reason why the crime scene was discovered was that the sewer in Room 1002 was blocked.

The property maintenance staff found that maggots blocked the sewer, and they called the police when they found a strange smell upstairs.

Chen Yan didn't quite understand at first, how could maggots block the sewer?

Now, Chen Yan knew what was going on.

In the bathtub, the body was lying, presenting a gigantism.

The so-called gigantism means that after death, all parts of the body stop working and lose their activity.

However, the bacterial colonies in the human stomach and intestines did not die.

Under the right temperature, the colonies in the human stomach and intestines will multiply and develop rapidly.

Because these colonies reproduce in the body, there is no oxygen supply, and all of them perform anaerobic respiration.

Then, alkane gas will be produced.

Then, the body will swell up.

The head, arms, belly, chest, etc. will become larger.

Forming a giant-like appearance.

This is the view of gigantism.

Of course, not all corpses will have the phenomenon of gigantism.

In particularly dry places, the water of the corpse evaporates quickly, which may form a mummified corpse.

Or in extremely low temperatures, the corpse is frozen, and gigantism will not appear.

This situation will only occur when the temperature and humidity are suitable.

The corpse in the bathtub not only has the phenomenon of gigantism, but also because the temperature in the room is suitable, the corpse has bred maggots.

Just now, the reason why the three people vomited was because the corpse was crawling with maggots.

Not only that, because there were too many maggots, many maggots had overflowed from the bathtub.

The whole scene was maggots falling from the corpse.

In the sewer, because it is dark and damp, the fallen maggots instinctively crawl towards the sewer outlet.

Therefore, the sewer downstairs is blocked!

Chen Yan approached the corpse with a pale face, put on gloves, and began to observe carefully.

The phenomenon of giant view of the corpse is very serious.

There is an illusion that it may explode with a slight touch.

It is impossible to recognize the original appearance.

The whole face is iron blue.

The abdomen of the corpse is full of honeycomb holes.

Especially near the navel, densely packed.

Maggots go in and out from this place.

Because there are too many, the whole bathtub is filled with maggots.

Continuously falling from all sides.

The chest of the corpse seems to be slowly rising and falling, and Chen Yan hears a sizzling sound.

It makes people's scalp numb.

Wearing gloves, Chen Yan gently presses the chest of the corpse.

Through the thin skin, Chen Yan can clearly feel the maggots wriggling under the skin.

Obviously, the chest of the deceased was rising and falling because the maggots were constantly wriggling under the skin.

Not only the chest, but also the limbs.

Although there were fewer maggots in the limbs than in the torso, some parts could be seen wriggling.

That scene was as if blood was surging under the skin.

There was a strange vitality.

The maggots under the skin seemed to be bound by a cage, just waiting to break out of the shell!

At the same time, the system prompt sounded in Chen Yan's mind.

[Ding! The strongest police training system task was released. ]

[Solve the bathtub corpse case, the deadline is five days, complete the task, and reward the skill animal cognitive map, and fail or exceed the deadline to cancel the task reward. ]
