Linzhou Municipal Bureau

Chapter 52 Drowning

In Qingnian Reservoir Wetland Park, Qingjiang District, Linzhou City, the sky is not yet bright, and the quiet water surface is still wrapped in the dim moonlight. The waves of stars dance gently, and the lotus leaves in the sky exude dark green colors in the hazy water mist. Quiet.The flowering period is coming to an end, and the few remaining lotus buds are tightly closed, waiting for the arrival of the morning light.The plump lotus pods keep the flower stalks low, and the breeze blows gently, as if there are hundreds of small heads swaying in the wind on the lake.

The low chirping of insects one after another, coupled with the occasional "tatatatata" of nocturnal birds passing over the branches, makes the surroundings seem extraordinarily deserted.

The reeds by the lake are growing very vigorously this year, and they are as tall as a person.Suddenly, a sound of dispute came faintly from the depths of the reeds, breaking the calm of the lake and startling a group of wild birds living here.

Listen carefully, there are a few immature female voices.

"If you have the guts, come and challenge me. What is such a group of people to me?" The speaker was a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl, with a tall ponytail swirling gently in the night with the ups and downs of her words. The upright chest is the aura that children of this age imitate from TV dramas.

"Snapped!"

There were five young girls of similar age standing opposite her, and the short-haired girl at the head seemed to have a bad temper. When she came up, she slapped her face first, and cursed viciously, "You're the kind to steal a man?!"

Another nest of wild birds soared up from the branch, and the droppings of bird droppings were obviously protesting against these crazy girls who disturbed their dreams.Two of them landed on the top of a tree not far away, staring at the two-legged beasts wrestling in the reed field with tilted heads. If it weren't for the limited capacity of those small heads, they must have thought about the Those male bird things that courtship and fight wildly.

"Bam—!"

A loud muffled sound came from the surface of the water, followed by the sound of bubbles.

"Help!—Help!—ah—"

The little girl with ponytails was bouncing up and down in the water, and the lake water that kept pouring into her throat prevented her from uttering a complete sentence.

The other five people on the shore were so frightened by the scene in front of them that they lost their minds and screamed in unison.

"Yu Xi, don't you know how to swim? Go down and save her!" "Yes, go, go!"

The girl named Yu Xi fell into the water with a plop before she even had time to take off her coat under the watchful eyes of her friends.

Before she could thump twice, the girl screamed in the water: "Ah! Don't catch me! Don't! I'm going to die! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

The short-haired girl in the lead just now was slumped on the ground, watching her good sister's brains being gradually swallowed by the water, she didn't know where the courage came from, she crawled to the shore with hands and feet, and was about to jump down, when she was suddenly pulled away by a force go back.

They saw a tall and thin boy appearing in front of them out of thin air. He quickly dropped his backpack, took off his sneakers, and plunged into the lake skillfully.

Before the four girls came back to their senses, they saw the boy with one arm around the girl named Yuxi, and the other arm vigorously paddling the lake water, swimming towards them.They were all dumbfounded, and felt that the boy had almost teleported, bringing Yu Xi back to the shore

Before the boy had time to catch his breath, he turned around and jumped into the water again.

Yuxi coughed up a big mouthful of water instinctively, her eyes were wide open, and before she could catch her breath, she kicked and kicked the empty space above, crying, "Ah! There are ghosts in the water! There are ghosts!"

Her companions all thought that she was overly frightened by drowning just now, and yelled nonsense. Although they didn't know what to do, they were still busy trying to comfort her.A girl held her wrist, only to find a large handful of black things in her right hand.Take a closer look, how does this look like human hair?The four of them turned pale with fright.

The least courageous one put his head in his arms, his hands and feet were shaking stiffly against the reeds.The other three tremblingly looked at the lake, as if they saw countless pairs of red ghost eyes suddenly appearing in the patchwork of lotus leaves.The three little girls held their breath at the same time, their bodies were completely out of control.For a moment, a strange sound came from underwater, getting closer and closer.

"Wow—" A head with black hair emerged from the water!

"Ah!" The screams of the three girls finally woke up all the sleeping creatures in the wetland park.

The rescuer took the unconscious ponytail girl in his arms and dragged him ashore.The girls on the opposite side who saw him as if they had seen a ghost made him very puzzled.When he was underwater just now, it took a lot of effort to pull the ponytail girl out of some entanglement at the bottom of the water. At this moment, he seemed to feel that the thing followed his heels and came ashore. .

He looked down, and what seemed to be a big clump of hair wrapped around his and the girl's feet with ponytails, and under the hair was half a swollen face.

The little girl with her head in her arms passed out completely.

The sun rose in a blink of an eye, shining brightly on the entire wetland park.The ambulance drove away with a few desperate girls, several police cars blocked the entrance of the park tightly, and the entire lake was surrounded by a cordon.

"Boss Quan!" Intern Yang Qi, who hadn't seen him for a long time, is no longer the forensic doctor Yang Qi, and ran towards Quan Yifeng excitedly.

Quan Yifeng's big hands were covering Ji Jing's head, and Ji Lian squatted in front of Ji Jing, talking to him softly.

Quan Yifeng waved to Yang Qi, and Yang Qi absorbed the experience accumulated many times before, and did not rush to him in a daze, but stopped half a step away from Quan Yifeng, and said cheerfully: "Hey, isn't this handsome guy who often comes to play in the bureau? He was the first to find the dead body? I didn't expect your son to be this old, boss?"

Ji Lian and Ji Jing turned their heads to look at this new forensic doctor who was so excited to meet a new corpse, and he seemed to see the shadow of forensic doctor Ding who was vigorous in his youth.

"Oh, it turned out to be Professor Ji's son. It really is that birds of a feather flock together." Yang Qi patted Ji Jing on the shoulder and said to him, "Good boy, you will become a generation of detectives like the whole boss in the future, and I am optimistic about you." !"

Quan Yifeng has helped his forehead a lot in the past two days, and he doesn't want to answer "why" that Ji Jing will definitely ask him later.

This morning they were urgently summoned back to Linzhou by a phone call, ending the day and night dream trip of young people in the small town.The big cousin's whole fish feast last night was still delicious, and this morning he rushed to the scene of the crime nibbling on dry bread.

Except for answering the questions of the little policeman who came to take notes, Ji Jing kept his head down and remained silent.Just now, Ji Lian followed Quan Yifeng to see the body salvaged from the bottom of the water, and hurried back to Ji Jing, thinking that little Ji Jing might be scared, but what should I do.

At this time, three male students who had vomited to the point of collapse were helped by the police, and sat in the shade to regain their senses.

"What's the matter?" Quan Yifeng asked the police officer who came over.

"I don't know, I just kept vomiting and vomiting, and I don't know if I ate something unclean." The policeman said while wiping his sweat off his police cap.

"They went to eavesdrop on Ding Fayi and Yang Fayi's conversation just now." Ji Jing finally said.Ji Lian smiled and nodded to him, and he continued: "Forensic Doctor Ding said that the corpse under the water has been sinking there for at least three weeks, and the flesh on it is either rotten, or it was killed by fish in the water. The shrimps and crabs are all eaten up. Probably because the main course of our dinner last night was fish caught from this lake, and they are not used to it."

Seeing Ji Jing calmly narrate such a heavy taste content, Ji Lian began to wonder if his heart, which has been worrying for a long time, is a bit misplaced?Ji Xiaojing, what is the cause of the melancholy on your face?

"Cheer up, kid! Uncle Ji is almost too worried about you." Quan Yifeng also noticed something strange, "You are today's little hero, not only a hero who saves the beauties, but also saves a litter!"

"I'm sorry!" Ji Jing seemed to have made up his mind, and two lines of tears flowed out.Ji Lian hugged him into his arms, only to hear his voice muffled on his chest and said in a low voice: "I'm sorry, I promised you not to go into the water, it's my fault, I didn't sleep up in the middle of the night to watch the nighthawks, Let you worry about me..."

"Oh, little fool, this time is a special situation, and you are here to save people, and your boss and I don't blame you at all." Ji Lian was almost shocked by Ji Xiaojing's brain circuit, it was funny and distressed, "Don't cry Stop crying. All the bosses have said that you are today’s little hero, and it’s too late for everyone to praise you.”

"That's right, wipe your tears quickly, look, your Uncle Ji's shirt is all wet."

"Is there anyone who comforts you like this?" Ji Lian took two tissues from Quan Yifeng, and wiped away tears for Ji Jing who was crying like a tabby cat.

At this time, Forensic Doctor Ding finally came over.

"What's the situation?" Quan Yifeng asked.

"Obviously not the scene of the first crime. The body was tied up in a plastic bag, and there were some stones inside to prevent the body from floating. The current here is very fast. I don't know where it came from, and it entangled the lotus root below. I stayed here and stopped here. The water flow and the creatures in the water damaged the body very seriously, and the cause of death is very difficult to determine. Judging from the degree of decomposition, the time of death is at least a month or more. There is no clothing on the body, it was stripped clean The body will be thrown away later." Forensic doctor Ding explained the situation in one breath, "That's all we know now."

"Okay, thanks for your hard work Ding Forensic Doctor. I asked Jianhai to send the samples to the DNA room for comparison, to see if there are any missing persons that can be matched." Quan Yifeng looked at a group of panic-stricken people over there. Students and teachers, I thought it was another difficult day.
