However, because it was quite far away, I couldn't see it very clearly.

I heard something being discovered over there.

After a while, several people used tools to pull a human-shaped object out of the river.

It looked like a clump, and it wasn't even certain if it was a person.

Su He and the others finally moved to the shore. Just as they were about to go over and take a closer look, they heard a vomiting sound from the side.

Turning my head, I saw Qiyang.

He had already vomited.

Su He was stunned for a moment, then realized that Qi Yang also seemed to have mysophobia, but she didn't expect it to be this severe.

Is this something I can't even look at?

Are you alright?

Qi Yang shook his head, "It's nothing, ugh, I'm fine, ugh~ you don't need to worry about me."

Seeing that he seemed genuinely distressed, Su He hesitated for a moment before suggesting, "Why don't you not go over there? We've just discovered a body here and need manpower. Our criminal investigation team is too far away. Why don't you go to the nearby police station and ask them to come and help?"

Qi Yang knew he couldn't be of much help here, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll be right back."

With that, he staggered away quickly.

After he left, Su He and Zhou Yan eagerly headed towards the corpse.

When they arrived, they were somewhat disappointed, because what they saw was more like a skeleton than a corpse.

It looked like it had been dead for a long time; the flesh on its body had long since rotted away. At this moment, the skeleton was wrapped with a lot of things, including clothes and seaweed, and it looked very dirty. Because the salvage team knew not to touch it, they didn't help remove it.

Su He didn't move either. She calculated the time Li Jingjing had been missing and knew it probably wasn't her.

I just don't know who this is.

Soon, Qi Yang arrived with the police officers from the local police station.

The salvage team had stopped and was helping to maintain order. Hearing that a body had been retrieved, and since it was rush hour, many people from the surrounding area came to watch the spectacle.

After Qi Yang brought the police in, he also helped maintain order, not getting too close for fear of losing control again. Su He greeted the police officers from the police station and then they went to see the body together.

After examining the body, the police officers at the local police station looked grave. "The body is quite old, making it difficult to identify."

Su He nodded, "Then let's have the forensic doctor take a look tomorrow, at least to determine the gender and age, and then see if there are any missing persons in the vicinity who fit the criteria."

"That's all we can do."

Afterwards, Su He discussed with them the possibility of having the police station send the body to the funeral home first, and then proceed after the forensic examination.

Then, the people here were evacuated.

When it was time to leave work, the salvage team also left.

Su He said goodbye to her two colleagues and went straight home.

Before she returned, news of the body being pulled from the river had already spread, so as soon as she entered the courtyard, many people stopped her to ask her questions.

However, Su He only gave a general overview of the situation, "It should have been a long time ago, not just recently. The specific details are still undetermined. The police station will notify us later."

The others walked away in disappointment.

When we got home, everyone in the family was still a little scared.

Upon hearing this, Lin's mother said even more directly, "Luckily, we didn't catch any fish before. If we had eaten them, we would feel so terrible now. Just thinking about those fish that we might have eaten... Ugh, I can't take it anymore, I can't think about it."

Su He felt a little disgusted by what she said, and thinking back to her previous guesses about Li Jingjing, she realized that it was actually quite possible.

However, seeing that her family members looked unwell, she quickly comforted them, "It's alright, we haven't eaten yet, have we? Besides, that body is quite old, it's long since just a skeleton, it's probably been stuck at the bottom of the river because it was entangled in seaweed."

My family members' expressions improved a bit after hearing this, but no matter what, it still affected their appetite.
