On June 15, a mysterious mute woman came to the Hangzhou Rescue Management Station.
She's in her 50s, illiterate, can't write, doesn't know her name, and doesn't know where she's coming from.
In order to further solve the mystery of the mute woman's life, my colleague Gao Wei and I communicated with her face-to-face yesterday, hoping to sort out clues from it.
Gao Wei knows sign language, 2 years ago, we partnered together, after repeated "inquiry" and confirmation, to help Yu Zhongliang, a deaf and mute person who was abducted for 25 years, find a home (earlier report: ☞ Deaf children were abducted at the age of 14, wandered for 25 years, ate garbage and picked up bottles and walked all over the country to find their mothers!). 5 days ago, he came to Hangzhou to find "find someone quickly", this time, a miracle happened... ）
Seeing me, the mute woman accompanied by the staff of the rescue management station suddenly became excited, her eyes were red, and her mouth was screaming "Ah ya ya" something.
Judging by her reaction, she thought I had come to take her away.
Let's start with her family situation.
Previously, the rescue management station had asked a dumb language teacher to communicate, but the dumb woman did not understand the meaning of standard sign language, so Gao Wei used the "local sign language" as a comparison and asked her if she had ever been married? Do you have any children?
| Ask her about her family situation
She looked at us with a very confused look, and it seemed that she could not read the meaning of this gesture.
Gao Wei asked her again: Have you ever been pregnant? How many children are there? Is there a boy or a girl? ......
She put up two fingers, but then, when Gao Wei and her determined whether it was two children, she touched her hair again, and then imitated Gao Wei's movements, and her mouth was also saying something " Ya Ya Ya" in her mouth, according to this performance, we can not determine whether she "said" that she had two children.
Then ask her how old the child is, she stretched out her two hands and opened them, posing back and forth 3 times, but further determined with her whether it meant 30 years old, but she did not seem to understand the meaning of this sign language.

Whether it is earth sign language or standard sign language, she does not understand it very well, and she says "aaaah" more often than gestures to express it.
From this, we infer that she has not lived with deaf and mute people for at least a long time, and if she has contact, she is bound to learn some sign language in life.
We're going to start with local cuisine and see if she has memories of where it's served.
We found steamed buns, wontons, dumplings, noodles and other food pictures, she saw a photo of a yellow corn steamed bun, seemed very excited, with her hand to indicate that she had eaten this, saw the photo of rice dumplings, wonton pictures, all said that she had eaten, in addition, she had no reaction to dumplings, Gaozhuang steamed buns, pot bun meat and other pictures of these northern traditional food, there was no reaction, not very familiar feeling.

Yesterday we also learned that she also had a package tied up in cloth among her belongings.
When I opened it, there were quilts and some clothes, some of which were hers, for autumn and winter; some of which were men's, including a light blue shirt with the cuffs marked "police", and the chest identification tag had been torn off.
When she saw me, she also felt a small cloth bag out of her pants pocket. It was actually a gray cloth trouser pocket, sewn with needle and thread on one side, and a zipper on the other, and she took out money from it to show me. Judging from the appearance of this trouser pocket, it should be on men's pants.
In the items she carried, there was an elderly mobile phone and a small book, after "communicating" with her, she "said" that the mobile phone and the small book were not hers, it was the old uncle who was with her before, she also "said", the money was not hers, it was the old man who put it on her.
| She "said", the phone and the little book, not hers
We wonder if we can read her message from physical characteristics.
We thought of a way to identify if she had children or not. There were deep and wide stretch marks on her stomach and thighs, from which it was judged that she had given birth to a child.
We know that the appearance characteristics of teeth can sometimes also represent which region they come from. According to our observation, her teeth are irregularly arranged, the enamel is dark, and the teeth are cylindrical, with small yellow pits and white spots.
This is characteristic of dental fluorosis.
| Her teeth have the characteristics of fluorosis
Fluoride causes damage to human enamel, dentin and bone, and damage to tooth enamel forms fluorosis.
Fluoride hinders the development of tooth enamel and the normal mineralization process, making the glaze column loose, arranged disorderly, the gap expanded, the tooth surface loses luster, chalk spots appear on the tooth surface, and in severe cases, yellow, brown spots appear, and even fall off, which is one of the earliest and most obvious physical features of endemic fluorosis.
Drinking water fluorosis is the most important type of fluorosis in China. According to the 2005 "Lookout Oriental Weekly" reported that in China except Shanghai, fluorosis areas in almost all provinces, the most serious is Shanxi and Inner Mongolia, high-fluoride drinking water is mainly distributed in North China, Northwest, Northeast and the Huang-Huai-Hai Plain, including Shandong, Hebei, Henan, Tianjin, Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Ningxia, Jiangsu, Anhui, Jilin and other 12 provinces.
Subsequently, we consulted Ma Jixiong, a criminal investigation expert of the Provincial Public Security Department, and when using criminal investigation technology to solve cases, there are indeed cases of using tooth characteristics to determine the identity of the deceased. That's because it was found that there was a certain trace element on the tooth, and this trace element was only abundant in a certain area, and it was finally determined which region it came from.
He said that according to the current characteristics, it is impossible to infer from which specific region.
In addition, she did have scars of different sizes on her body, but according to the shape of the scars, it is impossible to determine whether they were caused by being beaten by someone, and some of the scars are more like scratches.
When she "communicated" with us, her eyes kept staring outside the rescue management station, a look of anticipation, perhaps expecting someone to pick her up.
Judging from her performance, she seems to know a lot about the procedures for entering and leaving the aid station, and when she thought we were going to pick her up, she also compared the "writing" movement with her hand, and indeed, leaving the aid station was to go through the registration procedures.
From the rescue management station and police investigation, since May, she and the above-mentioned old uncle have been separated, in early May, the old uncle once went to the Shaoxing Keqiao District Rescue Management Station, when he was alone, on June 5, the old man went to the Huangyan Rescue Management Station, and then the local rescue management station staff found the old man's family, they took the old man.
According to the information learned so far, the above-mentioned old man once worked at a grain farm in Yuyao, Ningbo, and later went to work at a grain farm in Xiaoshan, while the mute woman was found under the elevated riverside era.
According to an investigation by the staff of the Hangzhou Rescue Management Station, the people at the grain farm in Yuyao said that they had never seen a mute woman.
So, did the mute girl get lost because she went to find him after separating from her uncle? Is the above-mentioned old man a mute girl he met when he worked at Xiaoshan Grain Farm?
In view of the previous contact between the rescue management station and the old man's family, the old man's family said that they did not know the situation of the dumb woman, perhaps only the old man knew some information about the dumb woman, but the staff said that if they were "wandering" halfway to know, they might not necessarily know, and the old man suffered from Alzheimer's disease.

After the official WeChat account of the City Express published this search report, many netizens left messages and offered suggestions.
Some netizens said that the shutdown of the mobile phone number does not mean that the account is cancelled, and personal information can be found...
It is understood that the two numbers on the elderly mobile phone, after investigation, these two numbers are not real-name registration, belonging to the "no one checked". Yesterday, according to the dumb woman," the mobile phone was the old man's, which also means that the clue of the mobile phone is broken.
In addition, some netizens suggested that through the "public security network eagle eye can face recognition", in fact, the police in the national population system after inquiry, there is no dumb woman's household registration information, which means that the dumb woman's household registration information has been cancelled.
At present, the police have collected the DNA of the mute woman, but there is no result.
