Chapter 156 Chapter 156 Return and Stink
As soon as spring arrives, Anxi has a lot of rain.
According to the locals of Anxi, Anxi is the place where the little dragons in the Dragon Palace play in the water, and it has had abundant rainfall since ancient times.
This has led to the extensive construction of Anxi's sewers, some of which are still based on the old infrastructure, which can be considered a major feature of Anxi.
It is precisely because of the years of underground construction that as soon as it rains, the sewage will be sucked away through the extensive sewage system, and there is rarely any smell from the sewer.
Therefore, when I smelled the smell coming from underground, I was somewhat confused.
"Did someone throw rotten fish and shrimp in there? Why is it so smelly?"
"That's not the case. It's not like there aren't people selling meat here. Sometimes the blood just flows down to the ground, but it doesn't smell bad, right? It's not like it would suddenly become smelly."
"Could it be that there's a blockage somewhere? If there's a blockage, the garbage can't be removed and it'll stink."
We are all ordinary people who make a living. When there is a smell in the sewer at home, most of us fix it ourselves, so we have some experience in dealing with sewer odor.
Everyone thought about it and felt that it made sense.
It’s a pity that I originally thought I could find the person who caused the smell and give him a good scolding, but now I can only clean the sewer.
They started working as soon as they said they would, especially the older brothers who were deeply troubled by the stench. They took out their tools and started to move the rainwater grates that had long been rusted and blackened, revealing the black mud inside.
At this time, a foul odor rushed straight into the sky.
Wang Meilin and the other two, who were not far away, all lowered their heads and retched.
It would have been fine if he had just dry heaved, but after being irritated by the smell, he immediately vomited out the food he had eaten in the morning.
Fortunately, they are not the only ones who are so miserable. There are many unlucky people around them who are just as miserable as them.
He vomited out yellow bile.
Not to mention the big brothers facing the dark cave entrance.
"vomit--"
They retched repeatedly and hurriedly urged those around them, "Hurry up and get a bag! I'm almost choking to death."
The people nearby suddenly woke up and hurried to find a bag.
Soon, many bags of various kinds were piled in front of them. They picked out the largest black synovial garbage bag, which was more than half a person's height.
It was originally placed in the big trash can in their market to hold garbage, and there were some rotten vegetables, fish, shrimps and other things thrown away by some people in it.
They used to think that the garbage bag was smelly enough, but today when they compared it with the sewer, they realized how smelly it really was.
They vomited while scooping out the black and smelly mud.
Qiu Jiang was also so fumed that her mind became confused and she kept vomiting with her head down.
I don’t know whether I should be thankful that I didn’t eat anything just now. Now I can’t vomit anything even if I want to. I can only endure the useless churning in my stomach.
"Let's go, let's not buy anything, let's go quickly."
If they stay here any longer, they will really lose control and faint.
"good."
Qiu Jiang said something and was pulled out by them.
It wasn't until they walked a long way that the air felt less terrifying than before. Even after they returned to the agreed meeting place, the ten men kept saying "Fuck!"
Even Ji Mingcheng frowned in disgust and asked, "You guys went into the trash can?"
"That's not the smell of digging into a garbage can, it's the smell of digging into a mountain of garbage. No, what were you doing? Weren't you shopping? How did it get so flavored?"
They were shocked to death when they smelled the scent on them.
"Don't mention it. It's just awful bad luck."
They briefly explained the situation, and they all looked at them with sympathy.
It's really unfortunate that I would encounter such bad luck.
But they can't just leave like this. At least they should take off the clothes that are stained with the smell and take a good shower.
So Ji Mingcheng waved his hand and got them a card, letting them go and wash themselves.
After they finished washing and their bodies became fragrant, they breathed a sigh of relief and started their return journey.
Otherwise they would have been embarrassed to get on the bus just now.
Despite this unhappy episode, they still had a very pleasant trip to Anyuan.
In particular, Qiu Jiang directly harvested a crab truck, and received exclamations from the two children as soon as she returned home.
“What a beautiful car.”
Qiu Jiang smiled and said, "Of course, I won this."
"Auntie is so amazing."
The two children were immediately filled with admiration.
The two children Qiu Jiang were so proud of the praise that they waved their hands and said, "Go play, go play."
"Great—"
They climbed into the car excitedly.
Thanks to the yard now, they can drive and play in the yard. Qiu Jiang drove her two nephews and nieces around in the yard, which made Qiu Siyu and Qiu Sichen, the brother and sister who had finally returned home, very envious.
Qiu Jiang was young, but still looked like an elder, so she instinctively gave up the driver's seat and let the two of them play with their younger siblings.
I went back and lay on the sofa to relax my body.
The sofa is soft and super comfortable.
She rolled around on the sofa, and when she saw Shi Yuexiu sitting over after finishing his work, he jumped onto her legs like a silkworm and acted coquettishly.
“It’s so comfortable.”
Shi Yuexiu smiled and touched her head, "Did you have fun?"
"Yeah." Qiu Jiang nodded, sat up quickly and told her about what he played with yesterday.
"Once I get my driver's license, I'll take our whole family there to play."
"Okay, whatever you say." Shi Yuexiu doted on her child without any limit. Qiu Jiang smiled and snuggled in her lap to act coquettishly.
Before she could enjoy being treated like a baby by her family for long, she saw a familiar figure appear at the door. She immediately sat up and looked over there in confusion.
"Captain Ji, why are you here?"
That’s right, the person who came was Ji Mingcheng, who had eaten lunch at her house at noon.
It had been less than half an hour since he walked here and appeared here.
This made Qiu Jiang wonder if he had dropped something here.
Just looking at his expression without any smile, I subconsciously felt that something was wrong.
"There won't be any cases, right?"
Although it was just a test, she felt that it was almost right.
As expected.
"Did you go to Chaoba Lane this morning?"
Qiu Jiang nodded. "Sister Meilin told me that the street was called Chaoba Lane, but we didn't go far inside. We just came to that smelly place and turned back because we couldn't stand the fumes."
etc.
She didn't think he would talk nonsense to her.
"Could it be that the dead body was found in the sewer?"
Qiu Jiang couldn't help but guess.
Ji Mingcheng praised her, "Congratulations, you guessed it right."
She didn't really want to guess right.
Qiu Jiang screamed in her heart.
But he still appeared calm on the surface, and even had the mind to sigh.
"Then our colleagues in Anyuan will be busy."
There is no way. People in their line of work have to be prepared to face unexpected cases anytime and anywhere.
But she still didn't understand why he came.
Could it be that he specifically wanted to tell her that a murder had occurred in the place they went in the morning?
She felt that Team Ji shouldn't be so idle.
Somehow, she had a bad feeling and suddenly spoke in surprise.
"The city asked us to do it???"
"Congratulations, you guessed it right again."
Ji Mingcheng smiled with the corners of his lips pulled.
Qiu Jiang was dumbfounded.
"If you have any questions, ask me on the way. Follow me first."
"oh oh--"
Qiu Jiang put on her coat without saying a word, "Sister-in-law, I'm going to work first. I guess you don't have to wait for me tonight."
"good--"
The two of them walked very quickly. After Shi Yuexiu replied to her, he stood at the door and was very worried about her.
"Jiang Jiang knows his limits, nothing will happen to him."
Qiu Hengan came out of the kitchen in a wheelchair and said to her.
Shi Yuexiu also knew it, but he just couldn't help but worry.
Maybe it’s because I’m getting older.
But she also knew that the child was very capable and loved this job. No matter how worried she was, she could only put her heart at ease and pray again and again that she would handle the case safely.
On the other side, Qiu Jiang finally understood the whole story when she got in the car.
Indeed, according to the division of responsibilities, this case should be handled by Anyuan no matter how you look at it. It will only be reported to them if it cannot be solved, and only then will they begin to intervene.
The incident was discovered this morning. It's impossible to say that in just two or three hours, it was determined that Anyuan couldn't handle the case.
In fact, it’s not that Anyuan couldn’t solve the case, but that they couldn’t give them enough time to solve it.
Because Anxi had handled several outstanding cases before, the province had just sent police representatives from across the province to Anxi to learn from them.
The person is on the way, and suddenly such a case arises. If it is not solved in time, wouldn't it damage their reputation?
"So Director Kuang meant for the city and Anyuan Branch to work together to solve this case. I don't know how he found out we went to Anyuan yesterday, and since our previous performance was so outstanding, he drafted us in."
Qiu Jiang gave a brief summary.
Ji Mingcheng murmured "hmm" softly.
"We two will go first. The others are packing up now, so they may be late."
This is no exception.
Who would have thought that I would get a job after a nice weekend trip? I guess I was as confused as she was.
Not to mention that we have to clean up and gather together, which will indeed waste some time.
Thinking about it this way, it would be best if the two of them could go as soon as possible.
She nodded, with no objection at all.
I just feel like there's something wrong with his approach.
It might also be because she was not familiar with the route to Anyuan. She doubted herself and did not consider that this road was not the road to Anyuan.
After driving for less than twenty minutes, his car stopped at the gate of a very upscale residential area. Two people were standing by the spring-filled flower bed at the gate.
"Forensic Doctor Lu, Jason."
As soon as the two got in the car, Qiu Jiang took the initiative to greet them.
The two of them responded to her.
It was only then that she found out that not only the criminal police, but even the forensic doctor had been sent from the city.
It shows how much they want to solve this case as soon as possible.
After picking up the person, Ji Mingcheng ran all the way to Anyuan.
The distance that would have taken more than 30 minutes to walk was reached in less than half an hour.
Qiu Jiangke was impressed by the location and took them there directly.
But before going over, she put on the gas mask Jason handed her tightly, for fear that she would be in the same mess as in the morning.
After arriving at the scene, Qiu Jiang found that the sewer entrance they had arrived at in the morning had been cordoned off, and the nearby stalls had been moved away. They were now surrounding the cordon and looking further away.
That’s right, the place where the stench came from in the morning was not the first crime scene.
As for where exactly it is, we can only say that further investigation is needed.
As for Lu Jianian and Jason, they now had someone to keep busy.
Two, two legs?
Or a severely rotten leg???
"Should we do this?"
Jason collapsed, holding his head.
