Lu Chuan had investigated several bodies found in water before, so he was not unfamiliar with this kind of work.
However, in past cases, the bodies were relatively intact, having only floated in the water for a few days. Despite severe bloating, the general appearance of the bodies could still be discerned.
This time was different. The dismembered body had been left unknown for how long in a suitcase.
The chains outside were completely rusted, with silt from the riverbed on them. Amongst the mottled spots, the rust was falling off in patches.
Lu Chuan's first investigative target was the chains locking the suitcase.
The chains made of pure iron were cross-patterned and tied around the suitcase without a lock, but instead secured with rivets and welding.
With Intermediate crime scene investigation skills in hand, Lu Chuan could determine the condition of iron objects rusting in water.
