"It's floating!" Suddenly, someone shouted.
A string of bubbles appeared in the center of the river, and the black shadow under the water gradually expanded, and then there was a "crash", and a female corpse surfaced out of the water.
"..." Everyone was dumbfounded.
"It's weird, why didn't you pull it just now, but now it floats by itself?" the frogman muttered to himself.
"It can't be that you made a mistake, right?" Another team member couldn't help but said.
"How is it possible?" The frogman retorted unconvinced, "Didn't you try it yourself, and the rope didn't move at all!"
"Stop arguing." The captain interrupted, "Start the boat and get the corpse ashore!"
"Oh." The salvage team took action immediately.
Chu Li frowned, and whispered a few words to Su Wanyi.
Su Wanyi was taken aback for a moment, then gave him a blank look, turned around and trotted away.
Under the water, Tang Xi watched the female corpse gradually rise up, and her doubts became heavier.
Obviously the resentment is so heavy, but the obsession is very shallow, and it dissipates as soon as it is driven away.
It's so unreasonable.
"Yun Qi, can you still find the source of the Yin Qi just now?" Tang Xi asked.
"No." Yun Qi replied calmly, "Yin Qi is completely dissolved in the water. In other words, this river is full of Yin Qi incarnate."
"Xiao Xi, shall we go out first?" Shao Yao also said, "I still think the female corpse is even more strange, anyway, the moat is here and I can't escape."
"Okay." Tang Xi nodded, walked to the shore in the same way, and floated up.
"Wow!" The police who happened to search here were taken aback.
"Sorry." Tang Xi wiped the water off her face.
She can stay underwater for a long time without breathing, but she can't avoid the water. Only then did she realize that she just went into the water just now, it seems... pretty bad
"Xiaoxi!" Following Su Wanyi's voice, a light and absorbent blanket covered her face.
"Sister Wanyi?" Tang Xi was a little confused.
Su Wan quickly wrapped her up in a blanket, carried a big bag in one hand, and dragged her away with the other, "Quick, don't catch a cold, there is a public toilet next to it, change your clothes first."
Tang Xi was dragged away by her at a loss.
The public toilet was just over ten meters away, and it was fairly clean and tidy. Su Wanyi asked her to take off her clothes and dry them quickly, while taking things out of the bag.
Clothes from the inside to the outside, even shoes and socks are bought, with tags.
"I bought it casually. I haven't put it in the water. You can just make it up and take a hot shower at home to replace it." Su Wanyi said, took out the key, and cut off the tag with the nail clippers that were used as a pendant. draped over the arm.
"Sister Wanyi is really thoughtful." Tang Xi said with a smile.
"Team Chu asked me to buy some clothes. How can I just buy clothes?" Su Wanyi looked her up and down, then complained, "You just jumped into the river like this? How about taking off your shoes?"
"..." Tang Xi couldn't explain that she didn't swim but walked. If she didn't wear shoes, the soles of her feet would be easily scratched by the rubbish at the bottom of the river, so she had to go on like this.
Fortunately, Su Wanyi was more careful and bought everything that needed to be bought.
Putting on dry clothes, Tang Xi continued to dry her hair half-dry with a blanket, put it on her shoulders, and stuffed all the changed clothes into the bag.
"Let's go, I'll go and see the corpse first." Su Wan said happily.
When the two returned to the shore, the salvage boat just docked again.
The frogman guy looked at Tang Xi's troubled face, and he also saw the girl coming out of the water, could it be that... was she the one who brought the female corpse up
"Are you okay?" Chu Li walked over.
"It's something." Tang Xi pulled him aside by his sleeve, and said in a low voice, "You'd better notify the reporter and the media to report this case immediately."
"Why?" Chu Li was surprised. "The case has not been solved yet. If public opinion is aroused in the society, it will put a lot of pressure on the police."
"There's no need to report in too much detail, as long as most people, especially those living near the moat, know that a corpse was fished out of the river." Tang Xi said.
"Is there a problem with the river water?" Chu Li responded quickly.
"Well, if someone goes into the water again, they won't be as lucky as Ding Peng. Even the fish and shrimp in the river have problems, and they can't eat them." Tang Xi nodded.
Chu Li thought for a while, then picked up the phone: "Xiao Xiao, immediately publish a message on the homepages of major portals in Jiangnan City: The police fished out a female corpse from the moat, in her twenties, with long hair, wearing a blue suspender Dress, with a cross necklace, appealing to the general public if anyone knows the identity of the female corpse, contact the crime team immediately. Then pass the news to the cooperating reporter, and it will be broadcast on the news tonight. Finally, inform the people along the moat At the police station, print more notices and post them in all nearby communities, the sooner the better."
"Understood." Xiao Xue agreed.
"That's enough." Chu Li hung up the phone and explained back, "There is no need to specifically report that this is a homicide, as long as there is a corpse in the river, at least for the past few days, everyone is in a panic, and they don't have the guts to soak the dead again. swimming and fishing in the river."
"You still have experience." Tang Xi also reacted.
"Now tell me, what did you see down there? A ghost?" Chu Li asked.
"Hmm..." Tang Xi rubbed his chin and pondered, "I don't know if it's a ghost or not. It doesn't look like... But it's dangerous."
"How dangerous is it?" Chu Li asked.
"This..." Tang Xi thought for a while, "As long as you are a human being, you will have a dark side in your heart. No one has ever experienced the slightest unpleasant thing since childhood, but most people can adjust their mentality in time. Live optimistically. Being able to adjust does not mean that these dark sides do not exist. They have always existed in the depths of human consciousness, but they are usually locked by a lock called reason. However, today I met It can destroy reason, open the door, and completely release the dark side. Once the long-suppressed darkness gets out of control, it is hard to predict what people will do."
"That's why Zhang Wei went crazy and took a kitchen knife to chop up the nurses and patients who made him line up, but didn't save the doctor who saved his son?" Chu Li confirmed.
"This is indeed the case with Zhang Wei." Tang Xi nodded and hesitated for a while before saying, "How... will he be sentenced?"
"Public security organs are only responsible for arresting criminals. As for sentencing, it's a matter for the court." Chu Li glanced at her before saying.
"Oh." Tang Xi felt depressed for no reason.
"You sympathize with Zhang Wei?" Chu Li asked.
"No. I sympathize with Nurse Zhang more." Tang Xi sighed.
As long as people don't die, it can always be solved. But when Zhang Wei killed someone, even if there was an external push, but after all, he was the one who killed someone, so if he sympathized with him... where did he kill him
Only life, there is no way to compensate.
"Don't think too much." Chu Li pressed her shoulder, "When you have experienced more cases, you will be able to adjust your mentality. But only then did you realize that you are really only eighteen years old. "
Tang Xi couldn't help but gave him a supercilious look.
Damn eighteen, she's twenty-five in her two lifetimes!
However, she used to deal with all kinds of monsters and goblins, and she also followed Chu Li into the serious crime team before she came into contact with all kinds of "people".
"Master is right. In this world, people are much more complicated than ghosts." Tang Xi sighed.
"But people are much more exciting than ghosts." Chu Li sneered, and turned to the temporary autopsy table.
Su Wanyi had finished the preliminary autopsy, her brows were tightly frowned.
"How?" Chu Li asked.
"There was no trauma, and there was no poisoning reaction on the surface. The specific cause of death requires an autopsy and toxicological experiments." Su Wanyi said while taking off her gloves.
"What about the time of death?" Chu Li asked strangely.
Usually, when the forensic doctor reports the autopsy results, the first thing to clarify is the time of death. Even if the time cannot be determined immediately after being subjected to various tortures such as flooding and fire, at least an approximate time period will be given. But this time, Su Wanyiju only The word is not mentioned.
"Before the autopsy, I can't tell you the time of death, for fear of misleading you." Su Wanyi said with a straight face.
"No approximate time period?" Chu Li asked.
"Looking at the condition of the corpse, there are no plaques, and the skin is full of elasticity. I tried it with a needle, and the blood in the veins is quite fresh, not even clotted." Su Wanyi said helplessly, "We must judge according to the knowledge of forensic medicine. , I can only say that she died in less than five minutes, normally, we should call 120 for rescue, maybe it is possible to save her.”
"..." Chu Li had black lines all over his head.
Five minutes... From Ding Peng's discovery of the underwater body to Su Wanyi's autopsy, there were more than ten five minutes in between.
"So, if I write this in the autopsy report, I will be scolded to death by Bureau Tan, right?" Su Wanyi spread her hands.
"Okay, let's transport it back first, let's dissect it." Chu Li waved his hand.
"Okay, let's close the team first." Su Wanyi turned around and ordered the assistant to put the body into a body bag and transport it to the car.
The salvage team completed its task and retreated.
Chu Li ordered the serious crime team to leave a group of people to search again on the shore, emphatically told not to enter the water, and ordered the team to withdraw.
"I'm also going back to the Municipal Bureau. I asked Xiao Xiao to help me check some things," Tang Xi said.
"Okay." Chu Li agreed.
With such a strange corpse, he wanted to hear Tang Xi's judgment more than Su Wanyi.
When she returned to the City Bureau, Tang Xi's hair was basically dry.
"Drink." Chu Li brought a cup over.
"What?" Tang Xi stepped back in horror, pinching her nose.
"Isatidis, it's not bitter." Chu Li said angrily.
"I don't have a cold, so I don't need to take medicine!" Tang Xi protested.
"If you catch a cold, it's not Banlangen you're eating!" Chu Li remained unmoved, "Drink it yourself, or should I drink it?"
"..." Tang Xi gritted her teeth, snatched it over, frowned, gulped it down in one breath, and threw the cup heavily on the table.
"Here." Only then did Xiao Xue dare to send the prepared documents.
"Sooner or later, I'll let you drink it back!" Tang Xi threatened, and stormed into the team leader's office holding the document.
Chu Li paused for a moment, then turned his head and said, "Xiao Xiao, is the office next door to me empty? You can ask the logistics to count the piled materials, move them to a different place, and sort them out as a consultant's office, so that she won't have to rob them all the time. my place."
"Understood." Xiao Xue suppressed a smile.
When Chu Li walked into the office, what he saw was Tang Xi occupying his place, with several documents spread out on the table. He closed the door behind his back and asked, "Did you find anything?"
"Well." Tang Xi pushed the document over without raising his head, "Look, in the past three months, there have been seven medical accidents in the No. 1 Hospital in the city, and each time it was the same as Zhang Wei. It was a conflict. A few hours to half a day later, the suspects rushed into the hospital and committed murder."
Chu Li scanned it quickly, and pondered: "It's really similar. It's just that no one was killed six times before, and even three times the suspect was subdued before he was injured, so the serious crime team was not alarmed, just ordinary doctors and patients The dispute was handled by the local police station. Most of the suspects had a good attitude afterwards, saying that it was impulsive and reached a settlement with the hospital and the injured."
"Yes, on impulse." Tang Xiruo said meaningfully.
"Looking at it alone, it's nothing special." Chu Li said in a deep voice, "But the same thing happens seven times in three months, so it can't be an accident."
"Hmm... so annoying." Tang Xi lay down on the table.
"What do you think of that female corpse?" Chu Li asked again.
"It's been a long time." Tang Xi shrugged, and said casually, "At least a few months. The female corpse is protected by resentment, it will not be corrupted, and it will not float up. It may not be discovered for months, but... "
"But what?" Chu Li asked.
"I don't think the female corpse is the culprit." Tang Xi pondered, "It's better to say that the existence of the female corpse is a check and balance with the yin energy in the river, so the moat has not shown any abnormalities before, or the past few months In summer, there are more wild swimmers, so something has happened long ago."
"You mean, that female corpse is protecting humans?" Chu Li was surprised.
"Yeah." Tang Xi nodded, "When I dispelled the resentment and let her go up, I vaguely felt that it was wrong. It was too easy to dispel. Thinking about it again, if the resentment is not her own, then it makes sense."
"Boom boom boom."
Just then, there was a knock on the office door.
"Come in." Chu Li said.
"Captain Chu, consultant." Xiao Liu stood at the door and said excitedly, "Someone came to identify the body."
"So fast?" Tang Xi blurted out.
At this point of time, I'm afraid the notices in the nearby neighborhoods haven't been posted yet.
"The one who came to identify the corpse was a doctor from the No. 1 City Hospital." Xiao Liu had a strange expression on his face, "He said he saw the urgent news pushed by his mobile phone, and felt like his girlfriend who disappeared three months ago."
three months
Chu Li and Tang Xi looked at each other, and got up together: "Go and see."
In an inquiry room, a man in his thirties was sitting, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and a hospital white coat, holding a disposable paper cup, with a nervous expression on his face.
The sound of Chu leaving the door startled him.
"You are, Doctor Gao?" Chu Li and Tang Xi sat down across the table.
"Yes, I'm Gao Ruming from the Internal Medicine Department of No. 1 City Hospital." The man said immediately.
"Did you go to see the corpse just now? Are you sure it's your girlfriend?" Chu Li asked formulaically.
"Be sure! Her appearance is exactly the same as before." Gao Ruming choked up and said, "It's my girlfriend Han Jia. She is a nurse in the emergency department of the No. 1 City Hospital. She lost contact three months ago... By the way, I There was a report, but the police station only made a record, saying that Jia Jia was an adult, and if there is no evidence of her murder, it will be difficult to find, I have asked several times, but there is no news."
"Are you sure she's been missing for three months?" Chu Li asked.
"Dang!" Gao Ruming said without hesitation, "Three months and six days——I recorded the days in the diary every day."
"Do you know how she disappeared?" Chu Li could only ask.
"She followed the ambulance to rescue patients the night before, and she didn't come to work the next day." Gao Ruming said, "The police station also asked the driver and doctor who were in the car together, and they all said that Jiajia went home by herself after get off work. .It's in the middle of the night, I'm afraid she has an accident on the road... But the surveillance camera has captured her returning to her community, so... "
Chu Li immediately understood that the missing person was an adult, and since she had already returned home, it was hard to say that there was a possibility of her being killed. The emergency nurses were under a lot of pressure. If Han Jia couldn't bear it because of psychological problems, it was understandable for him to run away. For this kind of missing case, the police station will not invest too much police force.
"Can I, can I take Jia Jia's body back?" Gao Ruming asked.
"No, the cause of her death has not been clarified yet, and the possibility of a criminal case cannot be ruled out. If it is a homicide, the police must investigate, and the body cannot be taken away at present." Chu Li said calmly, "Also, we will contact Miss Han's parents Family members, if you have a phone number, please provide it. After all, you are just a boyfriend, not married yet, and you have no right to sign some documents. Even if the body is returned later, we can only give it to her family."
"Okay, okay." Gao Ruming was stunned for a while before answering, "But Jiajia's hometown is far away, and it will take a few days to get here after contacting."
"That's troublesome, thank you for your cooperation." Chu Li said.
It wasn't until he went far away that Chu Li turned his head and said, "You were very silent just now, did you see something wrong?"
"Well... let's talk about this." Tang Xi came back to his senses and stopped.
"What do you want?" Chu Li looked at her warily.
"No, I just thought of something suddenly and wanted to visit the moat again," Tang Xi said.
"Yourself?" Chu Li asked.
"And you." Tang Xi looked at him seriously.
"..." Chu Li wanted to say, I think you lack a driver.
"Are you going?" Tang Xi was helpless.
Chu Li shook his head, took his gun handcuffs, picked up the car key: "Let's go."
"Hey!" Tang Xi followed with a smile.
"Chu team, consultant." Xiao Liu hurriedly said, "Now the team has been closed over there, can you two go?"
"It's just right to close the team, too many people are useless, please don't come." Tang Xiyuan left a sentence.
"What do you mean?" Chu Li asked curiously.
"The yin energy of the moat." Tang Xi withdrew her smile, her expression solemn, "Even I almost fell for it, if it wasn't for my ghost pupils—ordinary people would add to the chaos anyway."
Chu Li heard the words, didn't say much, went downstairs, got in the car, and returned to the scene.
After this tossing, the sky has already darkened.
Chu Li directly bought two scallion pancakes and hot milk tea and took them back to the car, and the two quickly finished their dinner.
"The cloudiness is getting heavier." Tang Xi stood on the bank of the river, stretched out her hand to feel the wind blowing, and frowned slightly, "Is it because of the loss of check and balance?"
"What are you going to do?" Chu Li asked.
"The water is its territory, and it is difficult to completely eliminate it. I will force it up—" Tang Xi said.
"Understood." Chu Li's spiritual power gun twirled around between his fingers.
"Okay, I'm going down." Tang Xi smiled.
So, the clothes that had just been changed for less than half a day were soaked in water again.
Chu Li let out a "tsk", staring fixedly at the calm river.
Back at the bottom of the river again, Tang Xi was already mentally prepared, and immediately opened the ghost pupils, revealing every detail of the pitch-black bottom.
"How?" Yun Qi asked.
"Play a big one." Tang Xi raised his eyebrows, and the Guqin floated in the water, "Lend me the piano."
"Oh." Yun Qi had no objection.
"Can't you let Yun Qi bomb?" Xie Changan couldn't help but ask.
"Exactly!" Shao Yao followed up, "Why don't you seal the bracelet first?"
"What's wrong with Xiao Xi playing the piano?" This was Su Huang who had never heard Tang Xi play the piano in the ancient tomb after catching a tomb robber and escaped.
"I'm going to play it!" Tang Xi said angrily.
"Yun Qi, take care of her." Xie Chang'an didn't believe that Yun Qi and Tang Xi had been together for so long, so he didn't know how good she was at playing the piano.
"It's okay." Yun Qi said calmly, "This is underwater."
Both Xie Changan and Shao Yao were taken aback.
underwater? What happened underwater
"Under water, the noise is very loud, basically you can't hear the sound of the piano..." Su Huang, who is still a modern person, explained.
"You guys are so annoying!" Tang Xi was very angry, so she vented it directly to the target with sound waves with anger added.
The sound waves are invisible and qualityless, but because they are in the water, they can clearly see the waves of the water being torn apart.
The calm water suddenly began to calm down.
Chu Li watched the river churning, even ignoring the gravitational force to form a turbulent flow. One after another, vortices rose and fell, and fountains appeared irregularly. Fortunately, the warning line in this section was still there, and the dead people had just been fished out. close at night.
Suddenly, a black shadow flashed across the bank.
"Who?" Chu Li yelled, just when the splash of water blocked his sight. When the water fell back into the river, the opposite bank was empty and there was no one there.
illusion? No, he is still very confident in his eyesight, so...
Tang Xi's hands kept plucking the strings of the zither, stirring up the moat like a river and sea.
The Yin Qi that was originally dissolved in the water seemed to be unable to resist, and it re-condensed little by little.
Tang Xi sneered, adding a little more spiritual power.
Her purpose is to force that thing to be unable to stay underwater and run up to it.
"Be careful." Suddenly, Yun Qi's warning sounded.
Tang Xi flashed with the guqin in his arms, and a water arrow passed by.
"I'll go! That thing just now, is it?" Su Huang said in surprise.
"There is someone." Tang Xi was startled and furious.
Not just someone, but the kind who wanted to put her to death! Where are you from
"Over there." Following Yun Qi's voice, the guiding string was quickly stuck to it.
Without hesitation, Tang Xi sent a lightning curse along the guiding string—as for whether it will electrocute someone to death, you will kill me, and I will show mercy
"Swoosh—" Another change in the two water currents.
The attack of this kind of entity will slow down underwater, and the water flow around it will change. This distance is enough for her to react and avoid it.
There was a soft "pop", as if the gunshot hit the river bank.
"This is... hook lock arrow?" Su Huang was surprised.
There was actually a thin piano wire behind the pistol inserted into the river bank, and with the addition of the front one, three murderous wires had already been drawn in the water. Tang Xi had no doubts that if he bumped into this special piano wire forcefully, not to mention cutting off his head, it would not be impossible to cut him in half.
This kind of thing... Who is the other party
