Siheyuan: Superintendent at the beginning, wife Reba!

Liangma River is located in the eastern suburbs of Sijiu City. It was called "Nanba River" during the Ming Dynasty.

Because the water flow here is abundant and the pasture is strong, it was set up as the Royal Horse Garden in the late Ming Dynasty, specifically responsible for raising horses. From then on, "Nanba River" became "Liangma River" and was later passed down as "Liangma River" by the people.

Every city has its bright side and its decadent side. Low shacks, dilapidated houses, and garbage piled up on the streets year after year. Children in shabby clothes, dirty clothes and snotty noses can be seen playing everywhere on the garbage dump. The people who live here are either scavengers or homeless people.

There is such a place in every city, which is synonymous with filth and where the sun does not shine. But this place is also an integral part of the city, just like the dark clouds are part of the sky.

In Sijiucheng, such a place refers specifically to the Liangma River, or to the temporary village of waste pickers near the large garbage dump on the Liangma River.

The large garbage dump is more than 1000 meters away from the Liangma River. There is a bridge on the river called Liangma Bridge. There are no real houses on both sides of the bridge, only temporary straw shacks. The more sophisticated ones will add wooden supports. Most of the people living here are people who do not have urban registered residence but live in the suburbs.

Because there is no household registration, there is no food supply and no job. They rely on large garbage dumps to make a living, looking for things with residual value here, selling them to the government-run purchasing stations in exchange for meager rewards, and exchanging them for food on the black market, barely surviving.

Here you can see all kinds of suffering. The people living here are like being trapped in hell. They can't see any hope and can only live in numbness.

Zhang Chengfei pulled Reba and walked side by side with Qin Zhiming through the large garbage dump. When they walked to the bridge, they saw two policemen fishing out half a person from the river. The reason why it was half a person was because he was only from the waist down, mainly from the waist down. Two legs.

This half of the body was thrown into the water at some point, and it has become extremely swollen, just like a white and fat radish that has been nourished by excrement and urine. It's just that there are large areas of bruises on this radish, which must have been caused by being beaten before death.

Zhang Chengfei walked over, put on the gloves that Reba handed over, took a measuring tape to measure the size of his legs, and then carefully looked at the bone stubble.

Putting aside the missing upper body, this half of the person is actually quite complete. The only thing that made Zhang Chengfei feel strange was that this person's cause was gone. Where there should have been a cause, there was only a big, swollen and white hole with a corn cob stuffed inside.

After observing for a long time, Zhang Chengfei concluded that the deceased was no more than 15 years old, died not long ago, and the body was dumped within 48 hours at most.

Next, he wanted to see if there were any traces left by the body dumper on the riverside, but unfortunately, a heavy rain last night washed away all traces, which made Zhang Chengfei a little embarrassed.

The system notification sounded again in his mind, reminding him of the rewards he would receive after the case was solved. The reward was very generous, which also meant that this case was bigger than he thought. There would not be such a generous reward for killing one person. Zhang Chengfei guessed that this was another serial murder case.

He thought for a while and told Qin Zhiming, "Let's check the residents near the garbage dump first."

"The murderer should have a tendency to hate men and be mentally disturbed. Such a person will not commit just one crime. He must be found as soon as possible."

Qin Zhiming nodded, "This man killed someone and humiliated the corpse. He is indeed mentally disturbed. Judging from the missing cause of the deceased, the murderer should be a woman?"

--Under normal circumstances, murderers who kill people and cut off certain organs have a judgment and punishment mentality. Therefore, he suspected that the murderer had been hurt by a man, so after the murder, he vented his anger and cut off the victim's cause.

Zhang Chengfei had a different view, "There is nothing wrong with trial and punishment, but it doesn't have to be a woman. Captain Qin, what you say is too one-sided. I will lend you a copy of "Bian Er Chai" later for you to study... Ahem, I’m going too far. In short, my opinion is that both men and women should be investigated.”

Qin Zhiming felt that his CPU was starting to get hot. He wanted to ask again, but Zhang Chengfei obviously didn't want to say anything.

He stopped worrying about this and began to divide the police into two groups.

One group continued fishing in the Liangma River to see if they could catch anything. The other group was further subdivided into groups of two, and each dispersed to pander to the residents near the large garbage dump.

Zhang Chengfei and Reba were assigned to join the village of scavengers.

Here, they saw a group they had never seen in Sijiu City. As Reba walked over, her eyes gradually became serious, and her face became solemn, "I never knew that there was such a place in Forty-Nine City in this era."

Zhang Chengfei nodded. During the Han Zongrui case, he and Reba went in the other direction. Although the alleys there were a little rundown, they were full of working city dwellers. Compared to here, it was like paradise.

"Why don't these people go home?" Reba asked.

"Maybe it's because I don't have a home, maybe it's because of something else." Zhang Chengfei sighed.

--Happy people are always similar, and unfortunate people have their own misfortunes. It is not a virtue to explore the misfortunes of others.

The two of them investigated all the way and stayed in this primitive urban village for a whole day, but still found nothing.

Solving a case is not something that can be accomplished overnight. Zhang Chengfei raised his wrist and looked at his watch, "It's already time to get off work, let's go back."

Reba had stayed here for so long, and she only ate the cold bread that Zhang Chengfei took out from the system market at noon. She was so hungry that her chest was pressed against her back. Now that she heard that she could go home for dinner, she was very happy. feet high.

After the two of them reported their work to Qin Zhiming, they turned around and rode their bicycles to the courtyard.

Back home, Zhang Chengfei had nothing to do, lying on the movie bed in the outer room reading a book, while Reba was cooking with Grandma Zhang in the kitchen.

It had just rained and the weather was cold, so Grandma Zhang planned to make stew. To make stew, you need good vermicelli and gravy, as well as broth.

The broth was made by Grandma Zhang using the bones of the wild boar in the afternoon. After simmering on the briquette stove for an hour, it had already become sticky, with a thick layer of oil floating on it.

At this time, Grandma Zhang took out a handful of vermicelli, soaked it in broth and cooked it, then took it out and cut it into small pieces of about one centimeter.

Pour the cut vermicelli into a basin, add a small amount of broth, add a small amount of vermicelli in small amounts, and stir into a thick batter. Add the onion, ginger, garlic, and the shredded meat that was cooked in the broth before. Then shape it and steam it in a large pot.

The steamed stew can be cut into pieces and dipped in minced garlic to eat directly, but today is cold, so Grandma Zhang plans to make the stew in sour soup.

She asked Reba to chop the onions and coriander, sprinkle them into the broth, add pepper, salt, a lot of vinegar, and then add the steamed stew.

Not long after, a hot pot of stewed sour soup came out. The smell was so strong that the whole courtyard could smell it.

After Banggeng smelled it, he couldn't help but swallowed. He walked up to his mother Qin Huairu and expressed that he wanted to eat meat and drink broth.

Qin Huairu was very embarrassed, "My good son, it's hard to digest meat, why don't we eat it?"
