snow corpse

It can't stay the same for a day, unless it reaches absolute zero, when theoretically everything stops all motion, let alone a small corpse. "

Li Dabao raised his head even higher when he saw Qin Ming make a sound to save her, but then shrank back after a gust of wind swept by.She smiled and stretched out her hand to slap Lin Tao's arm, "Look, it's a slap in the face. If you don't understand, you're still blind."

Lin Tao was speechless by her smug expression, and because of Qin Ming's thorny head, he looked up and saw the new psychological portraitist searching for something in the snow without saying a word, so he immediately changed the subject , "What are you so proud of...Look at Fang Mu, how serious and dedicated he is, he just came here and surveyed the surroundings... It's not like you and Lao Qin, who know how to stare at a corpse! Ah Fang Mu, why are you Stopped, what are you looking for?"

Fang Mu and his horse walked in front, about ten meters away from the three of them.But at this moment, he had already stopped, and squatted down facing a piece of snow, staring at it in a daze.Occasionally, there is a mountain wind blowing, and a few snowflakes are flying and spinning, which is really beautiful.It’s just that no matter how good-looking it is, it’s boring.

They were trapped in this mountain for five days, and finally the snow stopped and they were able to come out and look around.Breathing out the cold in this mountain can be frozen into shards, so people can't love at all, I just want to solve the case and go down the mountain and go home early.

"Look here." Fang Mu pointed to the snow in front of him with a serious expression. "The snow here is weird."

The location of Fangmu Station was about twelve or thirteen meters below the three of them. The hillside was very steep and there was a big difference in height.

The three of them looked at each other, Qin Ming took the lead and walked over, half-believing and stopping next to the piece of snow pointed by Fang Mu, bent down to look at the strange snow in Fang Mu's mouth.Lin Tao and Li Dabao also came to look at it, and after looking for a long time, they didn't find anything.Looking at the white snow, Qin Ming gradually came up with an idea. He raised his head and met Fang Mu's gaze. Seeing the man's determined eyes, he had an answer in his heart.

"This snow field is still fresh snow. Although this area is still spotless, the thickness of the snow along the way just now is about 27 centimeters. The snow stopped at around [-] o'clock last night, and it has passed by now For about ten hours, the temperature in the mountains is very low, and the speed of snow melting will slow down. The speed of snow melting depends not only on the amount of energy input, but also on the temperature and humidity at that time."

"Specifically, the drier the air, the slower the snow melts because it's easier for the snow to sublimate, and sublimation requires more energy, which cools the surrounding snow and slows down the melt."

"The depth of this snow is visually estimated to be about 32 centimeters to 37 centimeters, which is different from the thickness of the entire mountain. The height of these few centimeters cannot be explained."

"Could it be that there were some plants growing down there that were overwhelmed by the heavy snow?" Li Dabao tried his best to direct everyone's thinking to simple aspects. He couldn't just see a place with thicker snow and suspect that there was something wrong with it. ?If you go to Mount Everest, you will not be depressed to death!

"Impossible." Fang Mu vetoed without thinking, "Look carefully, the snow in this area melts faster than other places, and the snow surface has become relatively thin. When the snow melts, the temperature of the soil rises." Faster than plants, and if it's overwhelmed by large patches of vegetation, the snow should melt slower here than elsewhere."

The atmosphere became inexplicably tense, and no one spoke for a while.

Qin Ming was the first to take action. He started to shave the snow with his hands. The new snow was still loose, and he dug it away as easily as shavings.Seeing this, Li Dabao and Lin Tao also began to reach out to dig the snow.The more it snowed, the harder it was to dig, and the more difficult it was to dig. Fortunately, several people dug together very quickly, and the whole picture was seen in a short time.

It was a bloody human torso.

3.2

Limbs were brutally cut off, and the head disappeared.Only the messy wounds, remaining broken bones, and sharp throats were suddenly exposed in the snow, breaking the tranquil beauty of this snow scene.

Qin Ming narrowed his eyes.

He took a closer look at the incision in the right hand of the torso, and recalled in his mind the section of the right arm they found in the woodshed, "The section of the right shoulder of this torso and the arm we found in the woodshed The slices are roughly the same, and if not unexpected, they should be the same deceased."

"We found two limbs of the deceased one after another. It is not difficult to see that this person was separated." Qin Ming gestured around the wound with his hands.Seeing this, Li Dabao reached out to take off his backpack and took out a pair of rubber gloves and handed it over. Qin Ming took it and put it on as usual, and Lin Tao was no stranger to it.Only Fang Mu was a little surprised, but he quickly returned to his original state.

"The wound at the amputation site is messy. Obviously cutting along the muscle texture from this angle would save a lot of effort, but the murderer didn't do it. The section at the cutting site has no skill at all, it is almost a limb cut off by brute force. And The same as the previous analysis, the murderer must be unfamiliar with human body tissue and has never engaged in any occupation of slaughtering livestock. He is not a butcher, but he insists on dismembering the corpse..." Qin Ming paused, " The murderer must have been very strong, and the suspicion of women committing the crime alone is preliminarily ruled out. But if there is no deep hatred with the deceased, why would the murderer commit such a thing as murder and dismemberment?"

"For money?"

"What kind of income can a rural doctor have!" Li Dabao retorted dissatisfiedly, "The medical industry is not easy to do now. Basically, the income of doctors with less than ten years of service is generally not high. They still work in big cities and big hospitals. .This kind of place in a ravine...it is not bad to be able to solve food and clothing."

Lin Tao said, "That's not all. You can't kill a boatload of people with one shot."

"How advanced do you expect the medical industry in this place to be?" Li Dabao snorted, "There are at most three or four hundred people in a village, and the clinics opened here can only deal with things like colds and fevers. How can serious illnesses be seen here? Even if we don’t mention serious illnesses, even if we have acute appendicitis and have our appendix cut, this mountain may not have the conditions. First of all, the relatively sterile environment is not enough.”

"It's also..." Lin Tao thought for a long time but couldn't think of a suitable motive for killing. He kept his eyes fixed on the torso until he saw his own hair, and carefully looked up at the other three people, and found that they were all in a trap meditation.It's not a problem to stay like this... Even if I stay here until dark, I may not be able to think of anything. The most important thing at present is how to deal with this corpse.So he asked, "Then what should we do now? Go on or move this...this thing back first?"

Qin Ming's eyes were still glued to the corpse, and he replied without raising his head, "Go back first, and put this torso together with the one you found earlier."

"how about you?"

"I'll go to the back mountain to have a look."

"It's too dangerous for you to go alone." Lin Tao dissuaded, "Han Ningye also said that there are wild beasts in the mountains, you can't go alone. I want to go with you and let Dabao escort the body parts back."

"Hey! Why!" Li Dabao suddenly felt bad, and called out his grievance loudly, "Can I, a girl, carry such a big corpse?!"

Qin Ming's head hurt from Li Dabao's noise, he stretched out his hand to rub the bridge of his nose, and said to Lin Tao, "You accompany her back."

"Fang Mu and I went to the back mountain to have a look."

Lin Tao glanced at Fang Mu who didn't pay attention to the three of them at all. He was still lost in thought on the corpse on the ground.Although he was somewhat reluctant, Lin Tao's trust in Fangmu had risen to a new level, from suspicion at the beginning to reluctant belief now.If finding a dead body once is luck, then two or three times cannot be explained by metaphysics.

Although Fang Mu was silent and didn't talk much, almost all his time was dedicated to the case and he didn't speak a few words with him, but Fang Mu always gave people a sense of reassurance inexplicably.

"Okay." Lin Tao could only take a step back, "Then you and Fang Mu should be careful."

He took out the bag that Li Dabao had prepared in advance from his backpack, put on his gloves and put the body parts into the bag with Li Dabao, and the two carried them back to the way back.I hope that the village head and his wife will not be so frightened when they see this extra one-armed corpse...

Speaking of which, Qin Ming and Fang Mu also started to rush towards the back mountain after Lin Tao left.According to Han Ningye, the back mountain is about an hour away from the village, even without snow.The snowy road is difficult to walk, and the time becomes unknown.

It was around eleven o'clock in the morning when they left the village, and it is almost one o'clock in the afternoon now, and their destination is still unknown.Just go back to the village before dark, Qin Ming secretly thought.

Qin Ming and Fang Mu were taciturn people, they had nothing to say along the way, they could only keep their heads on their way.After walking for an indeterminate amount of time, Qin Ming only felt that the surrounding scenery was all the same, the white branches and shrubs were all dazzling white, leaving a icy coldness on his eyelids when he closed his eyes.

Fang Mu walked in front, still thinking about the clues that had been found in the case, which was pitifully few.Fang Mu shook his head, what he could find was too little, he couldn't even conceive the shadow of the murderer.

It's snowing too much.he thinks.He stepped on the snow and buried his feet in it.

Everything is covered up.He pulled his foot out with great effort, and kicked again
