Chapter 230: Chapter 170: Online Dating Has Risks, Head to the Base!_3

He had not finished speaking when the middle-aged white man beside him glared at him and explained to Brian with a smile, "That won’t happen. We have specialized personnel for waste sorting during each collection, and we won’t become an accomplice to the murderer."

Upon hearing this, Brian rolled his eyes.

This was complete nonsense.

In fact, every year, there are homeless individuals who sleep in dumpsters and are irresponsibly transported into garbage trucks by drivers.

If the driver does not follow procedures, hides in the truck listening to music, or if the weather is bad, with heavy rain, coupled with the special structure of the garbage truck’s hopper and the automatic recycling compression function...

The fate of these homeless individuals is to be crushed alive into ’human slices’, then mixed with other garbage and compressed into a large block of waste rectangles.

Even if they are eventually found, the waste collection company’s staff will not report it.

Brian couldn’t be bothered with the middle-aged man, gestured to the driver to remove the body, and went to inspect the area around the dumpster.

As soon as he activated his sense of smell,

Brian frowned slightly, and then exerted effort from both his eyes and nose, trying to find possible clues.

Green assisted the driver in extracting the corpse.

..

Unfortunately, the garbage in the dumpster had all been dumped into the back of the truck.

Brian didn’t smell anything peculiar.

He could only focus his gaze on the large amount of trash being slowly tipped out.

From the pile of garbage emitting all kinds of strange smells, the body of a young Asian male, who did not appear to be very old, was dragged out by Green and the driver.

Brian put on gloves and began the examination.

The body’s appearance was unclear, and it was slightly bloated overall.

Taking into account the relatively sealed environment of the dumpster and the temperature higher than the outside.

Brian deduced the victim’s time of death to be between forty-eight and seventy-two hours, that is, not more than three days.

This roughly matched the waste collection company’s collection schedule.

They generally use one garbage truck, with a fixed collection route, about three times a week.

Based on the jacket the victim wore, it seemed that his family was well-off, not a homeless person.

Taking into account the process of the driver finding the body,

Brian inferred that the victim must have been thrown into the dumpster when it was empty.

The reason he was certain it was thrown in is that a freshly emptied dumpster is actually quite disgusting, and even homeless individuals wouldn’t be willing to go in, let alone this young Asian male who clearly wasn’t homeless.

..

Brian took the opportunity to teach Green about the investigative approach and procedure of the case.

"In a typical case like this, the first step is to see if the victim’s identity can be determined,"

Brian quickly searched the victim’s belongings, but other than something resembling a mouth freshener spray, there was nothing else.

On the wrist of the deceased, the skin was noticeably whiter than the surrounding areas, a sign of a wristband indentation, but it was unclear whether a watch had been taken or if he had left home without it.

"The victim was probably someone who cared a lot about his personal appearance; this kind of item is generally carried for negotiations and dates,"

Brian bagged the mouth freshener spray and handed it to Green.

Green looked around the environment and nodded, "He was probably about to go on a date before he died because no one would set a meeting place in the park. He looks young too, darn it, Asians always seem so much younger; I’m quite envious."

He looked just like an adult at the age of fifteen.

Now, in his twenties, he looked like he was in his thirties.

Brian ignored Green’s grumbling and continued, "If the victim’s identity cannot be established, the second step is to determine the cause of death and rule out the possibility of accidental death. Although this case is most likely a homicide, we don’t dismiss other possibilities. Additionally, teeth are also a step in determining the victim’s identity."

As he spoke, he began a physical examination of the body.

To be honest.

The touch of such a slightly bloated body instinctively made one uncomfortable, as though it was a feeling of unease etched into one’s DNA.

The victim had no external injuries.

Brian examined the victim’s mouth.

The oral hygiene of the person in question was quite good, the upper and lower teeth were neatly arranged. However, through the condition of the teeth’s wear, Brian confirmed that the individual was a person from Hua Country and furthermore a student studying abroad there.

The difference in dietary habits was distinctive. This aspect was easy to differentiate.

Suddenly, Brian, looking at the corpse’s open mouth, slightly wrinkled his nose. He sighed, turned the body over, pulled down his pants and, indeed in the perineal area, found obvious bruises and lacerations.

There were no signs that the wounds had been treated.

Beyond that, the victim’s banana, at the junction where the skin meets the flesh, also had tearing injuries, along with some white filth marks. This implied that the victim had previously been a good boy, careful with his body.

His first time was still intact.

What Brian meant was that the victim’s jewel had not been polished from birth until now.

The perpetrator, while assaulting the victim, had attacked the victim’s banana, leading to scars on that small area where the skin meets the flesh.

This further validated the likelihood that the victim was from Hua Country. At that time, the concept of circumcision was not present there.

Here it was different; most parents probably had the hospital perform the surgery when their child was born, as a matter of course.

So, through this characteristic, one could also ascertain the victim’s identity to some extent.

...

When Brian shared his analysis with Green, not only did the two patrol officers nearby look at Brian with admiration, but Green also exclaimed, "Boss Brian, I feel like there’s an endless amount to learn in criminal investigation, it involves such a broad range of knowledge."

Brian nodded in agreement. Solving cases was much harder than committing crimes.

"All right, there are no obvious external injuries on the victim, so we’ll probably have to go back for an autopsy to determine the cause of death. Let’s transport the body back; I have things to do this afternoon."

Brian took off his gloves, signaling to Green to bag the corpse.

"What about me?" Green appeared somewhat at a loss.

Brian pointed to the body, "Buddy, Asian, young, not cheap clothing, naively comes to a park like this for a date. What does that suggest to you?"

"A student studying abroad."

"Correct, a student studying abroad. And also one who was tricked here by a girl, only to discover upon arrival that the other party was actually a man—a foolish egg."

"Online dating?"

Brian nodded, "Likely. So, you just directly contact the Chinese student groups at various schools. They have their own communication groups. Ask them if anyone has been missing for two days and is involved in online dating; this will allow us to pinpoint the victim’s identity. And with the chat records, we can establish the perpetrator’s identity, got it?"

Online dating is risky, one must be cautious when hooking up!

"Got it!"

Green’s eyes lit up, and he was impressed once more.

Boss Brian is awesome!

..

In the afternoon, Brian left Shi San with old Hardenn and got on the helicopter that came to pick him up.

Actually, he didn’t expect the NW organization to hold him in such high regard.

Susan was right.

Upon being promoted to the second level, his privileges had greatly increased.

What’s this called, face value!

After boarding the plane, the respectful demeanor of the pilot also spoke volumes.

Brian touched the employee watch on his wrist, looking forward to the look on Susan’s face when she discovered he was the one promoted.

It was sure to be very interesting.
