Rebirth 2014: I, the King of Criminal Investigation

Chapter 140: You guys are really risking your lives to steal the corpse
None of the four revealed any flaws, which meant they had done some rehearsals before coming.

It can not only maintain oxygen intake, but also prevent the fluctuation of the white cloth from being noticed.

To do this you must practice beforehand.

Otherwise, if you breathe unsteadily, the white cloth will be blown away.

Yu Dazhang fast-forwarded the video again until the first person sat up from the morgue bed.

I glanced at the time in the upper left corner of the surveillance video.

"One hour and twelve minutes," he muttered to himself.

It is impossible to calculate time if you lie there stiffly.

A buddy wants to argue with me.

Can't you just count silently in your mind?

Not to mention that the rhythm of silent counting cannot match the second hand.

Let’s talk about the result of silent counting.

Everyone must have heard of counting sheep to help you sleep.

If you fall asleep in the morgue, the chance of waking up in such a low temperature environment is extremely low.

That's not counting time, that's committing suicide.

At the same time, Yu Dazhang noticed that the person who sat up was wearing shrouds.

It should have been taken off the body when the clothes were switched, and then put on himself.

Funeral clothes are not cotton-padded clothes, and no matter how good they are, they cannot keep you warm.

On the contrary, to prevent the corpse from decaying, the fabric of the shroud is usually made of more breathable cloth.

Carefully observing the man's movements, Yu Dazhang smiled again.

No wonder my limbs feel stiff when I move.

That's not fake, it's frozen.

Even a person in good health would not be able to endure lying in a cold morgue for more than an hour wearing thin clothes.

Yu Dazhang stared at the surveillance screen and said with a smile.

"This is because I can't stand the cold."

Even the team member who was sitting next to him and watching the surveillance with him laughed:

"It was scary the first time I saw it, but now I think it's funny. They could have just stolen the body on the street, why bother with all this."

In his opinion, there was no need to pretend to be a corpse and go to the morgue to suffer this.

It's 2014 now. Few people believe in ghosts and gods anymore, and even fewer believe in the police.

"No, this step is very important." Yu Dazhang's eyes were still fixed on the surveillance video as he spoke:

"If we steal the body directly from the corpse transporter, the two corpse movers will definitely not agree."

"Four of the six bodies are missing. They can't explain it, no matter how much money you offer them, they won't do it."

"Besides, doing this will confuse the police. Even if they are eventually discovered, it can effectively delay time."

When Yu Dazhang said this, he was suddenly stunned.

Oh, right, delay time!
What is the purpose of their delay?
Destroy the corpses and eliminate traces!

They must have some way of making the bodies disappear without a trace.

This involves professional knowledge again... Yu Dazhang has no experience in disposing of corpses, and he doesn't know who to ask for help.

If it is a murderer, the method usually used is nothing more than four words: throw it far away and bury it nearby.

This is summarized from criminal psychology and human behavior.

Of course, most criminals in reality do this.

But the people who stole the bodies would not do that. They must have a purpose for the bodies and it is impossible for them to bury or discard the bodies after stealing them.

This is the key to solving the case...Yu Dazhang quickly realized this.

Only by inferring the other party's intentions can we find new clues as quickly as possible.

After pondering for a few minutes, he still couldn't come up with any clue.

It seems that guessing alone is not enough.

Yu Dazhang had no choice but to continue focusing on the surveillance video. In the video, the man came to the glass of the morgue and the duty room and put his face against the glass to look outside.

"Why do I feel like he's not trying to scare people on purpose?" said a team member nearby.

"I think so too." Yu Dazhang nodded:
"He seemed to be trying to find a way out. He must have been frozen."

After the officer on duty fainted from fright, another person sat up from the morgue bed.

Like the previous person, his limbs were stiff and his movements were slow, obviously he was also frozen.

"Judging from their body shapes, these two are men," the team member analyzed.

Their faces cannot be seen on the surveillance footage, and their gender can only be determined by the length of their hair and their body shape.

After the two people at the back sat up, the team member became more certain of this judgment.

You can see it just by comparing.

The two people sitting up in the back were much smaller and thinner than the two people in the front, both in terms of body shape and height.

"This makes it even more certain that they are pretending to be corpses." Yu Dazhang stared at the surveillance screen and said with a smile:
"Women are actually more resistant to cold than men."

"Because they can't calculate time, they can only choose to wait and see."

"The safest time is between 2 and 3 a.m., when people are most relaxed and tired."

"But they are too cold to bear it."

"Plus, they are afraid to breathe freely, so their oxygen intake is reduced, and their resistance is naturally greatly reduced."

"If you wait any longer, you will really become a corpse."

Everyone who watched the surveillance video at this time noticed this.

The two people who sat up at the back were obviously more mobile than those at the front.

There is a scientific basis for this.

In cold environments, women are better able to adapt to low temperatures than men.

Because women have a higher body fat percentage and a lower basal metabolic rate.

In reality, many men, in order to show their gentlemanly manners, will take off their clothes and give them to their female companions, even if they are freezing cold.

Little did they know that they were not cold at all.

In their eyes, this behavior is considered stupid and naive.

Later they invented a word to describe this kind of men: lick dog.

"What kind of people in your profession need corpses?" Yu Dazhang turned to look at the team members and asked:

"Or, where are the bodies most needed?"

If you have something to discuss, let's discuss it together. There's no need to think about it alone.

He knew very well that it was easiest to get stuck in a rut at times like this, and it was better to have more people think together than to guess randomly on his own.

"In the past, there was a profession called gravedigger, which was actually a professional corpse thief." One of the team members replied:

"Cremation was not yet popular at that time, and many places still used burial to bury the bodies."

"Some doctors would hire these gravediggers to steal bodies."

"It was buried during the day and dug up and sent to the laboratory at night. The family of the deceased had no idea about it."

"After the case was discovered, it was discovered that many doctors had done the same thing."

Yu Dazhang had also heard of this matter, but he didn't know the details.

In my previous life, someone mentioned this when I was chatting with my colleagues.

"Is it possible that they are trying to remove organs?" another team member asked.

Yu Dazhang immediately retorted:

"There is no such possibility."

"Once a person's heart stops beating, blood supply to all organs stops."

"Without a blood supply, the organ will fail quickly at normal temperatures."

"Transplanting a failing organ to someone else is non-functional and it is a foreign body to the recipient."
