No such person [criminal investigation]

After the case meeting was over, Qi Zang drove to Baiyun Mountain.

Because he still wanted to communicate with Gong Nianci, Qi Zang invited her to be the co-pilot.

"Any progress on the other dead side?"

"Extracted some newly formed maggots..."

Gong Nianci's tone was a bit embarrassing, "There are many types of flies, and the growth speeds of maggots corresponding to different flies are completely different. I have to judge what kind of fly it is before I can make the next calculation. If I'm lucky, say I might be able to deduce the approximate location of the decay of the body parts based on the regional characteristics, but... this is really not my field of expertise. Director Qi Jun of our forensic center is sick and on leave for a while, so it is not good to bother rashly at this time—"

Qi Zang took the conversation. "I know a professor who specializes in forensic entomology. I have heard his lectures before. I will find a way to contact him."

Gong Nianci looked at him quite unexpectedly. "A person like you...will go to this kind of lecture?"

Qi Zang: "Comrade Xiaogong, have I offended you somewhere?"

Gong Nianci nodded naturally: "It's good to know. You spread rumors that I like girls, right? I won't be able to find a boyfriend in the future. I will credit you."

Qi Zang: "..."

"The Rong Bureau even talked to me."

"Then what, I really didn't mean it. I told Lao Rong that I was crooked, but he didn't believe me. I was really annoyed by his reading that day, so I couldn't choose what to say. So what... I sincerely apologize to you, you If you have any request, feel free to mention it. In addition, I will explain it to Lao Rong later.”

"No need. I'm just joking with you. Once divorced, I don't plan to step into the grave again. The reason you helped me find is very good. Thank you. lest he and his wife set up a blind date for me. "

"...I really didn't know you were married."

"What happened before I was transferred here. I won't mention it."

"clear."

After a pause, Gong Nianci asked him: "The professor you are talking about is not surnamed Qi? He is really an expert."

Qi Zang has already driven the car out of the bustling city, and the tall buildings are left behind. In front of him is the lush greenery that has faded from the steel and concrete.

Suddenly he had an illusion, as if he had returned to his student days from a busy and impetuous working life.

Professor Qi's lecture on forensic entomology was still dragged by Xu Ci.

When he was in school, Qi Zang's grades in all subjects were actually pretty good.But he has a problem, he doesn't like class very much.Thinking about reading and reviewing by himself, he could do well in the test in the end, but he didn't know if it was because he had a natural conflict with the blackboard chalk. He felt sleepy when he looked at the blackboard, and he never liked listening to the teacher's lectures.

Qi Zang still remembered that he was eating takeaway and playing games in the dormitory that day.

Hearing the sound of packing things up behind him, he turned his head and saw that Xu Ci looked like he was about to go out.

Qi Zang asked him: "Where are you going? It's a rare Saturday, don't you take a break?"

Xu Ci stepped forward and turned off his computer screen. "There are two high-quality lectures today. Two lectures are given by Professor Liu, an expert in blood morphology analysis, and four lectures are given by Professor Qi, an expert in forensic entomology. A week ago, you said that you wanted to listen to me. Hurry up and clean up, don't late."

Qi Zang seized the time to dig a mouthful of rice and asked, "Forensic entomology? What? Can insects have anything to do with forensic medicine?"

Hearing this, Xu Ci found a photo from his mobile phone and enlarged it in front of him. Qi Zang just saw the maggots on the screen.

Xu Ci: "Well, follow me to learn how to predict the time of death from the growth cycle of maggots on the carrion."

Qi Zang, who had just swallowed a mouthful of rice, picked up the trash can under his feet: "Ugh!"

Baiyun Mountain, Zishui Waterfall.

The more than [-]-meter-high waterfall pours down, the momentum is not too majestic, but with the layers of rocks and green trees, it has a unique charm.

If it is raining, when the rainfall is suitable, the water vapor in the pool will increase, and the waterfall will become more rapid. The peculiar rock layout and the water flow will present the overall appearance of a fairy wearing a long white dress.

Therefore, Zishui Waterfall is also called Fairy Waterfall.

Rumor has it that if you see a fairy, you will have good luck, so you should seize the opportunity to make a wish to the fairy.

At this moment, on a stone very close to the water curtain, a tall man with a narrow waist and long legs stood quietly. He raised his umbrella, and the water droplets hit the gray umbrella with "slaps", as if responding from afar. The sound of the waterfall.It was Xu Ci.

He was observing the layout around the waterfall, and guessing Zhu Xiu's plan, when suddenly, footsteps and conversations came from behind.

Only a female voice asked: "Speaking of which, I know that Wanwan, did you go on a blind date with her that day? How did it turn out?"

A male voice followed. "She—"

With just two syllables, Xu Ci already recognized who that person was.

It's just that the man stopped talking as soon as he opened his mouth, as if he was attracted by something else.

Holding the aluminum umbrella handle, Xu Ci turned around slowly and met Qi Zang's gaze.

"Officer Qi, what a coincidence."

The clouds and mists covering the mountains cover a blue color, and the waterfalls splashing down from this blue color are like rain and smoke.

At this time and place, the rain is moist and the smoke is thick.

A man very similar to Xu Ci stood in front of the picturesque scenery.

Ever since he met him, Qi Zang has been sorting out the differences between the two.

But at this moment all reckoning no longer seems to make sense.

The man stood in front of this beautiful scenery and smiled lightly, which overlapped with Xu Ci eight years ago.

Taking apart Xu Ci's facial features, they were not too stunning.His beauty is reflected in his bones and temperament.

Xie Qiao in front of him obviously did the same.

After staring deeply at the person in front of him for a while, Qi Zang's Adam's apple rolled up and down several times, and finally spit out a few words: "Mr. Xie, what a coincidence. Are you also here to investigate Zhu Xiu's matter?"

"Yes." Xu Ci said bluntly, "She still owes the company 160 million."

"The boss must be very happy to have a dedicated employee like you. He is lucky."

"We ordinary people are lucky to have a dedicated policeman like you."

Gong Nianci raised his eyebrows when he heard this, looked at the two of them back and forth, and said with a smile: "Are you two practicing Tai Chi?"

Wearing gloves and carrying a toolbox, she walked to the pool. Gong Nianci squatted down. The pool under the waterfall was also very deep. The possibility of the first crime scene could not be ruled out. She took samples here first.

"Where are the others? Let Li Zhengzheng post a location. I'll go find them after this is over and tell them some precautions. Such a large mountain... I don't know if I can get it done today."

Hearing this, Qi Zang picked up his mobile phone and sent Li Zhengzheng a crackling message, then walked in front of Xu Ci. "Then may I ask Mr. Xie, did you find anything?"

"Not yet. I've just arrived." Xu Ci looked up at Qi Zang's shoulders that were splashed by the waterfall, and tilted his umbrella a little in the direction where he was.

Qi Zang raised his eyebrows subconsciously, and opened his mouth to ask him something, but saw that Xu Ci had already started to back away. "There is a stone bridge over there, which is the best viewing point for watching fairies on a rainy day. Maybe there will be something to discover there."

"The ground here is very slippery. You turn around to look at the road. Why do you just back away?" Qi Zang's tone was a little harsh when facing his subordinates, probably used to scolding people.

Xu Ci raised his eyelids and stared at him, didn't say anything, but actually turned around and walked forward.

This pool is large and open. Gong Nianci's current sampling site is also located on the edge of the pool, but it is far away from the waterfall, so there is no water at all.

There is a stone bridge directly facing the waterfall. The stone bridge is connected to the edge of the pool. People can walk along the stone bridge to a position close to the center of the pool.Walking up the middle section of the stone bridge will directly shower you with water, but it is also a great place to watch the waterfall.

At this time, Xu Ci and Qi Zang had just stepped onto the stone bridge, and there was still some distance from the best viewing spot in the middle.

There are stone carvings on both sides of the stone bridge, and each stone carving is different.

To Qi Zang's surprise, the appearance of these stone sculptures is so unserious, which makes people really not flattered. There is a statue that looks like a horse with a funny face. Fortunately, the material is estimated to be shoddy, and the facial features will soon be blurred due to weathering. It's not particularly obvious.

Baiyun Mountain is a famous scenic spot, and a serious landscape architecture company should not make such crude and perfunctory stone sculptures.

——Who built this stone bridge?

Not long after walking onto the stone bridge, Xu Ci stopped in front of a statue.

After looking at the stone carving carefully, he said: "There is a bulge behind the statue, and the material is different from other places."

Narrowing his eyes, Xu Ci looked up again.

Pushing the umbrella directly to Qi Zang, Xu Ci got up and walked a few steps forward to reach the middle position, then squatted down and tapped the stone slab under his feet. "The bottom is empty."

Qi Zang quickly approached him and put the umbrella on top of his head. "Is there still an agency on this stone bridge? Who did it?"

"Try it and you'll know." Xu Ci got up and turned back to the stone sculpture that he thought was different, and pressed hard on the rear bump, only to hear a sound, the area in the middle of the stone bridge that was close to the waterfall , actually really collapsed.

In this way, the round stone slab is like a lifting platform for the stage.The existence of this mechanism should be used for some kind of live-action show, but I don't know if there is any secret hidden under the lifting platform.

Qi Zang and Xu Ci looked at each other, and immediately stepped forward and took out the flashlight to take a look inside, and saw that there was actually a cave below.

The cave was not deep, so Qi Zang put away the umbrella and handed it back to Xu Ci, before he jumped down to explore the way.

Just picked up the flashlight to look inside the cave, and heard movement above his head, Qi Zang raised his head, but saw a ray of sky light, Xu Ci jumped down in a very neat and crisp landing posture.

Qi Zang said: "Tsk, it looks like I have practiced."

Xu Ci patted the water falling on his shoulders, and replied calmly: "Well, I often go to the gym to exercise. Otherwise, staying up late and working overtime is likely to cause sudden death."

The cave was quite narrow, and it seemed a little too crowded after two adults entered.

Xu Ci easily found an equally narrow path with Qi Zang's flashlight.He turned on the flashlight on his phone, raised the phone with his left hand and walked straight to that road.

Qi Zang quickly followed.The path was only one person wide, and the two were so close that Xu Ci's back was almost touching his chest.Qi Zang accidentally discovered that he could even smell the moisture on Xu Ci's hair.

Feeling strange in his heart, Qi Zang immediately slowed down and distanced himself from the person in front of him.

At this time his cell phone rang.I picked it up and saw that it was a WeChat message from Wei Fan who went to Beishui store to collect DNA.

"Qi team, the DNA of the Beishui store employees who went to the villa that night is basically obtained, so I will bring it back to the city bureau for testing, except for a person named Xie Qiao. He is not here."

"I see. Give me his DNA."

Qi Zang quickly replied to the message, and was about to speak to Xu Ci.Suddenly thought of something, he fell silent, turned to open the WeChat dialog box, and found Bu Qingyun from the physical and chemical identification laboratory.

"Can DNA be extracted from hair that has been left for eight years?"

Bu Qingyun quickly replied: "It's hard to say, it depends on luck and how it was preserved. Are the hair follicles intact?"

Qi Zang typed: "Help me do a comparison when you have time. Thanks."
