Not long after the two got in the car, He Yu's call came.
There was no one else in the car, so Xu Mingzhi turned on the speakerphone directly.
"Is there a result so soon?" Xu Mingzhi asked.
He Yu said: "No, boss, another corpse dumping case."
Xu Mingzhi was stunned, frowned and asked: "What's going on?"
"Someone found a body packed in a sack on the shallows of the Lushui River. People from the Lushui Town Police Station were already at the scene. They initially concluded that the body might have washed down during the flood discharge of the Luchuang Reservoir two days ago. Yes." On the phone, He Yu's voice sounded particularly solemn.
Xu Mingzhi frowned, and after being silent for a while, he suddenly asked: "Has the rainfall been so heavy in Yuehu City recently?"
"I checked the weather forecast. Although it has rained a few times near Luzhuang Reservoir recently, the rainfall was not very heavy." He Yu replied.
At this time, he looked at the weather data displayed on his mobile phone from the corner of his eye and interjected: "The typhoon is coming. It will rain for half a month here at Yuehu Lake. The reservoir's flood discharge at this time may only be Reduce pressure in advance so that the peak of the flood can be staggered."
After Xu Mingzhi glanced at him, he said to the suddenly quiet cell phone: "Contact Lao Wang and ask him to bring two people and accompany Director Yuan there first. I'm still here in Miaoshan Village, so I need some time."
"What about me?" On the other end of the phone, He Yu heard that Xu Mingzhi didn't plan to take him with him. He immediately stopped wondering why Yu Guang was with Xu Mingzhi and hurriedly asked.
"You continue to investigate Zhang Xueyi's matter. Call me as soon as you get the result. If you can't get through, call Yu Guang. By the way, send the address to my mobile phone." After Xu Mingzhi hung up the phone, he turned around and rushed. He looked out of the corner of his eye and said, "It seems I can only help you make another trip to Lushui River with me."
Yu Guang hummed slightly and said no more.
The occurrence of the murder instantly made the atmosphere in the carriage become depressing.
Xu Mingzhi frowned when he heard that there was another murder case, and never relaxed it again. The case of corpses buried in graves has not yet been solved, and now there is another case of dumping corpses. In addition to the case of floating corpses in Qiaoxi and the disappearance of Liu Liu some time ago, four lives have been lost in just one month. This It was the first time in his seven-year career.
Luzhuang Reservoir is located in the southwest of Yuehu City, nearly 100 kilometers away from Miaoshan Village in the southeast.
Xu Mingzhi turned the car into a plane, and an hour and twenty minutes later, they finally found the address He Yu sent based on the navigation.
The body was found near the shallows of the lower reaches of the Lushui River, about four or five kilometers west of the Luchuang Reservoir. The body was discovered by villagers from nearby Luzhuang Village who came to the river to fish at night. When he saw the sack, he thought it was a dead pig from a nearby pig farm and was too lazy to bury it, so he just threw it into the river. Thinking that it would be bad to pollute the water source, he planned to pick it up and find a place to bury it. He never thought, During the dragging process, the rope holding the bag came loose. As soon as he turned around, the bright white light of the headlight fell, and a gray and deformed face suddenly appeared in front of him, which almost scared him to death.
He was so scared at the time that he turned around and ran away without even thinking about it. He even threw the fishing guy away without daring to pick it up. It wasn't until he ran home, drank a cup of hot water, and regained his consciousness that he finally thought about it. Get up and call the police.
After calling the police, at least an hour had passed when the police from the nearby town police station arrived and he led him back to the Lushui River.
By the time Xu Mingzhi and Yu Guang arrived, it had been at least two and a half hours since the body was discovered.
The scene has been surrounded. The policemen at the police station were all standing outside, wearing masks on their faces.
Xu Mingzhi and Yu Guang smelled the smell as soon as they got out of the car. It wasn't just a smell, it was an indescribable smell.
Xu Mingzhi took two masks from the car and handed one to Yu Guang. As soon as I took it, Lao Wang came over.
"Director Yuan is already inside, and the body has already turned into wax. Director Yuan means that it should be transported back to the bureau first and then the autopsy can be done." Lao Wang said as he glanced at Yu Guang who was standing next to him in confusion.
Xu Mingzhi didn't answer when he heard this. He just turned to Yu Guang and said, "How about you wait here?"
Yu Guang said: "Everyone is here."
Xu Mingzhi was a little surprised, but he didn't object.
However, Lao Wang was a little worried that what he saw out of the corner of his eye would leave a psychological shadow, so he advised: "Why don't you go there, the body has been soaked in the water for too long, and the scene is a bit..." He didn't finish his words, but The meaning is already in place.
"It's okay." Yu Guang was inexplicably insistent.
When Lao Wang saw this, he stopped trying to persuade them and turned around to lead the two of them towards the warning circle.
As the three of them approached, the indescribable smell in the air gradually became stronger. By the time we are inside the warning circle, the effect of masks has been minimal.
Both Lao Wang and Xu Mingzhi couldn't help but raise their hands to cover their noses, but out of the corner of their eyes, they didn't even frown. The eyebrows and eyes that were not covered by the masks were exceptionally calm.
Searchlights have been set up at the scene, and the dazzling light drives away the darkness around them.
Under the bright white light, the body had been brought up from the shallows. A white plastic sheet was spread out on the dirt road less than a foot wide, and the body was placed on it. The sack wrapped in the corpse had been cut open, and the twisted corpse was spread out. Three figures were squatting and busy next to the corpse with their backs to them.
Out of the corner of his eye, he followed Xu Mingzhi and the two of them as they approached.
"How is it?" As soon as he got closer, Xu Mingzhi asked the three people next to the corpse.
One of them raised his head and glanced at him, only to find a strange-looking man standing next to Xu Mingzhi. He couldn't help but take a second look.
"Yu Guang, he just happened to accompany me to Miaoshan Village, so he came here together." Xu Mingzhi noticed his gaze and explained.
Hearing this, the man's eyes narrowed slightly. Although the mask covered most of his face, he could still see a smile from his narrowed eyes: "Hello, awesome man." After saying that, he didn't wait. After answering the words, Guang lowered his head to play with the corpse in front of him again. While fiddling with it, he also said to Xu Mingzhi: "Preliminary judgment is that the fatal injury was on the head, and the time of death was at least half a year. The rest is hard to say at the moment. We have to get the body back."
After Xu Mingzhi heard this, he stepped forward and began to look at the body carefully.
I was looking behind him from the corner of my eye, and although I didn't follow him forward, I could still get a rough idea from this angle. The corpse was naked, without any clothes. The twisted corpse was covered with a layer of gray-white oily substance, which even reflected some light under the pale light.
This is a woman with a somewhat petite figure. Although the body has almost completely waxed, the female features can still be seen at a glance.
At this time, Lao Wang stood next to him and introduced him softly: "The person who just spoke is our forensic doctor, Director Yuan."
He remained silent from the corner of his eye, his attention at the moment was on the corpse.
He had seen a lot of dead people, and he had even seen corpses that were highly corrupted and looked like giants, but this was the first time he had seen anything like this.
He suddenly thought of the young man who would wait for him under the sycamore tree every time he went home.
He would always think of him when he saw a corpse, especially one that died abnormally.
Would he imagine that when he found him, he would be like that too?
"I'll wait for you outside." Yu Guang, who had always been calm, suddenly turned around and left.
Xu Mingzhi, who was bending down to look at the body, looked up when he heard the voice, and he had already walked away from the corner of his eye. He frowned, a little worried, so he told Lao Wang: "Follow me and have a look."
"Okay." Lao Wang agreed and immediately chased after him.
However, after catching up with Yu Guang, he took a closer look. Although Yu Guang frowned, he didn't find anything uncomfortable about him.
He seemed... just in a bad mood.
