forensic hunter

Gao Jinhai was over fifty and a half years old, with a square head, a big face, a stocky body, a wide door, thick eyebrows and tiger eyes, thick earlobes hanging on the side of his face, his face was full of blessings and majesty.After seeing Luo Jianan's police badge, he stretched out his hand playing with walnuts and signaled the two uninvited guests to sit down.Luo Jianan and Qi Ming looked at each other, and sat down on the long sofa and single sofa in front of the desk respectively.A slim tea master in cheongsam brewed a cup of Kung Fu tea for them, then sat behind the guzheng next to him and played a piece of "High Mountain and Flowing Water".

"Mr. Gao is very elegant." Luo Jianan took a sip of tea.The tea is good, and it costs at least a thousand pieces a catty in the place of production.

Laughing loudly, Gao Jinhai poked his half-bald head, and spoke in a full-bodied voice: "Traditional culture, young people like to listen to popular songs, and we old people still have to listen to this to please our ears."

"What I'm going to say today may not be so pleasant to my ears, Mr. Gao." Luo Jianan rubbed his hands. To be honest, he didn't think Gao Jinhai was a kind person. The corpse case, the current clues point to the fishing boat. You are an expert in this field, and I need to ask you some questions."

Gao Jinhai stood up, took out two cigars from the humidor and handed them to Luo Jianan and Qi Ming.Qi Ming waved his hand, indicating that he would not smoke.Luo Jianan took it instead, picked up the cigar scissors on the coffee table, cut off one end, and then lit a match with Gao Jinhai.The principle he has always followed is that when investigating a case, there is no need to put on a nonchalant attitude. The more relaxed the atmosphere, the more you can ask what you want.

"I don't dare to be an expert, but I am very willing to cooperate with the police. Officer Luo, if there is anything I can help, just tell me." Gao Jinhai also lit one for himself, and he was smoking a cigar while playing with walnuts It looks a lot like a rich merchant in the period of the Republic of China.

Nodding, Luo Jianan asked: "That's right, do you know if there are any fishermen who specialize in pufferfish fishing?"

"Yo, puffer fish are all farmed." Gao Jinhai thought for a while, "But there is a piece of sea on the other side of the cross-sea bridge where wild puffer fish can be caught, but no one eats them. The big ships go that way, and the oil pollution The smell is strong, and everything caught is thrown back into the sea."

"We're looking for a fishing boat." Qi Ming frowned and waved away the smoke that floated in front of his eyes. He was a bit displeased with Luo Jianan's obscurity, "For those with a draft of no more than two meters, the propeller should be between sixty and eighty centimeters."

Gao Jinhai looked Qi Ming up and down, and smiled at him: "The kind of fishing boat that is not under my command is either a private boat, fishing for moray eel or grouper, or a cleaning boat."

Luo Jianan understood why Xu Jie and Qiao Dawei visited the three piers but found nothing. The kind of boat Gao Jinhai said would not spend money to berth at the big piers.Gao Jinhai observed the expressions of Qi Ming and Luo Jianan calmly, realizing that they were disappointed with their answers.He straightened the double-breasted neckline of the Tang suit, and said with a faint smile, "Of course, as long as this piece is made into the sea, even if it's a piece of wood, I have to nod."

Putting down his cigar, Luo Jianan said: "Mr. Gao is undoubtedly a leader in the industry. Now, I have to trouble you to provide information about the cleaning boat and the owner of the private boat."

"Officer Luo, you are joking, how can I remember the information of hundreds of ships?" Gao Jinhai looked at Luo Jianan with a half-smile.

Luo Jianan pondered for a moment and asked, "What conditions do you have?"

"Officer Luo, I just like dealing with a smart guy like you." Gao Jinhai stood up, went to the desk and opened the drawer, took out a document and handed it to Luo Jianan, "The customs detained three shipments of mine, it's not a big deal The things are just gadgets. They say that the formalities are not complete, and now I want to pay 40 yuan in taxes, tell me, ah? This is not a tax, it is simply a fine, and the three shipments are not worth 40 yuan."

With a gloomy face, Luo Jianan threw the stack of papers on the coffee table, and said with a serious expression: "If you don't report what you know, I can sue you for obstructing official duties."

"I didn't hide the murderer, and I didn't obstruct your investigation. What kind of failure to report what I knew, Officer Luo?" Gao Jinhai snorted, "At worst, I'll just pay the fine."

Qi Ming turned his head to pass a look to Luo Jianan.In order to find clues when handling a case, an appropriate compromise is necessary. This is like exchanging a reduced sentence for the testimony of a tainted witness, but now it is replaced by saving money for the witness.Of course Luo Jianan knew this, but he didn't like being led by the nose.

"That will disappoint you, Mr. Gao, the police do not accept threats. Teacher Qi, let's go." Luo Jianan stood up, showing his intention to leave.He was sure that Gao Jinhai was worried that they would not come back after leaving this door.

Sure enough, Gao Jinhai immediately said: "Why hurry, drink tea, come here, Officer Luo, sit down, sit down. You have to respect the old man, you have to call me uncle when you are outside, right? By the way, when I returned from Hong Kong with Eagle, you were still in kindergarten."

Hearing the name "Eagle", Luo Jianan's eyes immediately became alert, and subconsciously raised his hand to touch the scar behind his ear.The eagle that Gao Jinhai mentioned was once the most powerful boss in the local area, and he went undercover for three years just to send this guy to prison.At the beginning, in order to gain the eagle's trust with the fastest speed, he carried fourteen knives for the opponent.Although the wound has long since healed, hearing this name, the scene of fighting for life is still vivid in my mind.

When Gao Jinhai mentioned the eagle, he was implying to them that their network of relationships was wide enough, and they were not the only way to solve the problem.But cooperating with the police is undoubtedly the quickest option, and the option that requires the least favor.

"Mr. Gao, although I am a junior, I have a piece of advice that I hope you can listen to." Qi Ming looked directly into Gao Jinhai's eyes.

Luo Jianan looked at Qi Ming, unable to figure out what his plans were.

Gao Jinhai smiled calmly: "But it's okay to say, ah, the biggest advantage of me is that I can listen to other people's opinions."

"It's not about the case, Mr. Gao." Qi Ming raised his hand and gestured to Gao Jinhai's left side, "You used to go to sea for many years, right?"

Gao Jinhai nodded.

"Did you feel numbness and pain in your left lower limb every rainy weather in recent years?"

Gao Jinhai nodded again, his eyes slightly surprised.

Qi Ming continued: "I can tell from your walking posture that your left hip joint is severely worn, and you should seek medical attention as soon as possible. If you delay the treatment until the later stage, you may need to replace the artificial hip joint. This is a major operation, and you have to stay in bed for a long time. There could be a whole host of complications."

Gao Jinhai stopped turning the walnut in his hand, and leaned slightly while leaning on the handle of the seat, "Hey, I didn't expect there to be doctors in the police force?"

"I'm a forensic consultant, specializing in corpse research." Qi Ming's words made the corners of Gao Jinhai's mouth twitch slightly.Luo Jianan held back a smirk and fanned the flames: "Our Teacher Qi is an expert who came back from the United States, you have to listen to what he says, Mr. Gao."

Gao Jinhai smiled and nodded. "Oh, young people nowadays are terrible. Don't tell me, I always thought that my legs always hurt because of the cold and humidity."

"You have a habit of putting your weight on your left leg when you walk, and you must have used your left leg to work hard when you were working at sea. The cold and humidity you said can cause rheumatism, but it is usually in the knee joint or ankle. The problem is on the joint, and your problem is obviously on the hip joint." After Qi Ming finished speaking, he took a sip of tea.

Gao Jinhai laughed twice, and said, "Okay, I'll go to the hospital tomorrow. To be honest, my old Gao has lived to this age, and I really don't know where the door of the hospital opens."

"Physical health is a good thing, but now that the age has reached, the necessary physical examination is still required." Qi Ming put down his glass and looked at Luo Jianan, "Can we go?"

"Ah? Oh, let's go." Luo Jianan stood up again.

Gao Jinhai didn't keep them this time, but got up together and said to them: "Officer Luo, Teacher Qi, let's make friends today, ah, as for the materials, I will send someone to send you to the bureau tomorrow. About the fine..."

"I'll discuss it with the captain, Mr. Gao, but I don't guarantee that I can help." Luo Jianan also stepped down the steps.

"Brother Hai, don't look out." Gao Jinhai waved to the girl playing the zither, "Xiao Liu, take a box of seafood gift boxes for each of the two police officers and put them in the car."

"This is not allowed, we can't collect things!" Luo Jianan hurriedly stopped the girl, "Sit down, don't take it, and I don't want it if I take it."

"I'm out of sight, Xiao Liu, hurry up!" Gao Jinhai's businessman style was immediately revealed.

Qi Ming spoke out in time to resolve the dispute between the two parties——

"Don't worry, I'm allergic to seafood."

On the way back, Luo Jianan asked Qi Ming, "Are you allergic to seafood?"

"No, that's just to prevent him from stuffing your trunk with seafood." Qi Ming looked out the car window, and burst out laughing after a while.Luo Jianan was a little confused by his smile, and asked, "Did you take the wrong medicine?"

Qi Ming waved his hand, took off his glasses and wiped them with a handkerchief, smiled and shook his head. "I suddenly remembered a previous case."

"Oh? Tell me?"

"There is an incident in Tennessee, where there are floods every year, and people are often missing. I was an intern at the time, and I followed the teacher to the local body identification. You know, the body was soaked in water for a week, and the high temperature made the body swell. Like a balloon."

Luo Jianan said in his heart that of course I know, but the question is, what's so funny about it?

"There was a rookie who was sprayed with corrupt tissues all over his body when taking DNA samples, and the stench couldn't be washed away for a week." Qi Ming laughed while talking, no matter how embarrassing Luo Jianan's face was. After school, one day he suddenly found a piece of dried fish out of his white coat pocket. It should have been sprayed out from the corpse. It was not washed out when washing the clothes, and it was directly dried into dried fish by the dryer... After that, he He no longer eats fish, and when people asked him why he said he was allergic."

I don't want to eat fish anymore, Luo Jianan rolled his eyes.This kind of cold joke that only forensic doctors can understand is really shocking.

Lao Han was invited by the hospital to do an autopsy, and the forensic office was empty.Luo Jianan pulled a chair and sat down, raised his long legs and put them on Lao Han's desk, and casually picked up the "Forensic Medicine Association Monthly" to read.

"Take off your legs." Qi Ming stood next to him holding a box, "This is a bacteria-controlled environment, if you want to soak here, go and put on your shoe covers."

Luo Jianan looked down at the bamboo slippers on Qiming's feet, rolled his eyes and stood up. "Hey, it's hard to be a good person. I'm not afraid of you guarding alone—" He raised his chin towards the morgue diagonally opposite, "Those things are afraid."

"I don't know who is afraid."

Qi Ming muttered something in a low voice, put the box in his hand on the table, and opened the lid.Luo Jianan put on the shoe covers and came over, holding the book in his hand and casually fanning it, he probed and asked, "What is this?"

"Bone——Luo Jianan!" Qi Ming took half a step back, because the book in Luo Jianan's hand fanned the ashes in the box.Luo Jianan's face was smeared with ashes, he poohed to the side, and asked while brushing off his clothes, "What the hell is this, why is it so bitter."

Qi Ming turned the exhaust system to the maximum and said, "Bone Ashes."

Luo Jianan was almost choked to death by his own spit, covered his mouth and rushed out of the medical examiner's office and went straight to the bathroom at the end of the corridor.Miao Hong just came down to get the materials, and was almost bumped into by her apprentice, and then frowned by the sound of vomiting from the bathroom.

"What's wrong with Luo Jianan? Is she pregnant?" Walking into the medical examiner's office, Miao Hong asked Qi Ming who was cleaning up the ashes scattered on the table with a smirk.

Qi Ming smiled and shook his head, but didn't answer.After a while, Luo Jianan came in with his hand on the wall, picked up the bottle of mineral water placed by the wall and drank most of it in one gulp.Miao Hong turned on Lao Han's computer, and while printing the materials, she teased her own apprentice: "What's going on, Luo Jianan, who did it?"

Luo Jianan pointed at Qiming with shaking fingers.

The author has something to say: Nan Ge jumped into the Yellow River and couldn't wash himself...
