【Don't sell the house to Police Officer Li】

Li Xiaoran walked into the house he had visited yesterday, and what came to his face was no longer the fragrance of lemons but the smell of decaying corpses.

"Boss!"

Li Xiaoran put on shoe covers, put on gloves, and examined the surrounding environment, "What's going on?"

The team member looked embarrassed, "Let's take a look." Walking to him, he lowered his voice, "Supposedly, this shouldn't be under our jurisdiction."

Li Xiaoran was taken aback, could it be the same as last year?Someone reported that her son was dead, and the police station transferred the call to their team. When they rushed to the scene, they found that it was a cat.

But this smell of severe corruption of the corpse... Li Xiaoran's expression sank, it is impossible for a tiger to die.

Li Xiaoran was ushered into the bathroom, where the forensic doctor was squatting by the bathtub to conduct a preliminary autopsy on the corpse.

Li Xiaoran doesn't understand why so many movies like to shoot scenes of committing suicide in the bathtub.In reality, that scene is not pretty.

What came into view was the blood-stained water, and the corpse was swollen and corrupted by the blood.The abdomen has begun to swell due to the large number of bacteria in the intestines, and the blood is mixed with body fluids that are automatically discharged due to the loss of sphincter function due to death.

The harsh colors in the bathtub contrasted ironically with the clean white tiles in the bathroom, the lemon scented diffuser was still sitting next to the sink, and the stench in the air was suffocating.

"Group Li, there were three cone-shaped incision wounds on the right wrist of the corpse. Because the corpse is highly decomposed, the cause of death cannot be determined yet. But judging from the corpse..." the forensic doctor looked at the eyes and mouth of the deceased, "The cornea The high degree of turbidity makes it almost impossible to see the pupils clearly, and the skin on the palm and part of the back of the hand is softened and swollen, showing white and wrinkled shape."

The forensic doctor looked at the measured temperature and humidity, and concluded, "Although it is affected by the temperature, it is conservatively estimated that at least 24 hours have passed since his death."

Li Xiaoran rubbed his temples, "You can narrow down the scope a bit more, he died within 32 hours."

The forensic doctor looked up at him in surprise, "Zu Li, I haven't seen you for a few days, you look even better."

Li Xiaoran couldn't help but wryly smiled, "I may have to apply for recusal before the exact time and cause of death come out."

Under everyone's suspicious eyes, Li Xiaoran said slowly, "We met at five o'clock yesterday afternoon, that is, 30 hours from now."

-

"...so fast?" Zhou Cheng hadn't finished dozing off when there was a knock on the window.

Zhou Cheng unlocked the car, and after Li Xiaoran climbed into the car, he asked him, "Can we go?"

Li Xiaoran nodded, because for the time being, he needed to investigate and evade.He had just made a note at the scene, describing in detail the meeting between him and the deceased.Even if the team is crazy busy right now, he can't participate in the case.

Zhou Cheng knew his habits, every time he came back from the scene, Li Xiaoran was usually not willing to speak.

Li Xiaoran closed his eyes and was that weak young man.What happened after he left that this big boy with a shy smile chose to commit suicide?

Yes, it should be a suicide, although the final conclusion can only be drawn after the forensic autopsy report.But based on their experience in handling cases, everyone knew that the situation at the scene and the performance of the corpse had a very high probability of suicide.

This is why his team members said that this final estimate is not under their jurisdiction.

"Zhou Cheng..." Li Xiaoran looked at Zhou Cheng who was driving. In the night, Zhou Cheng's side face was outlined with crisp and neat lines, calm and resolute, yet still a little serene.

"After that incident, did you ever think about committing suicide?"

Zhou Cheng slammed on the brakes to stop the car on the side of the road, and turned to look at him.

Li Xiaoran pressed the back of his hand holding the steering wheel, "I want to know."

Zhou Cheng closed his eyes, and the neurotic laughter of the doctor back then appeared in his mind, "My biggest regret is why you didn't commit suicide?" This is still the last step away from the perfect tragedy in the doctor's mind.

Zhou Cheng opened his eyes again, looked at the pair of dark pupils in the darkness, and put his hand into Li Xiaoran's.

"...I have thought about it."
