Zheng Yuanqiao thought for a moment and said, “I’m not sure yet.
But you'd better pull the hook first to avoid snagging the frogman."
"Oh well!"
"What a shame there are so many fish today!"
“Come back next time!”
…
The river here is not too wide, the depth is moderate, and there is not too much silt.
The search difficulty is much lower than that of the reservoir below.
"Hey, what do you think this is?"
A frogman quickly pulled up a large object from the bottom of the water, which looked very heavy.
With the help of the frogman nearby, it was finally moved ashore.
"Found it?"
"A backpack? Is there a body inside?"
"The informant's information is so accurate?"
The police officers on the shore immediately surrounded them.
Zheng Yuanqiao also stepped forward excitedly, but when he saw the thick algae on the surface of his backpack, he frowned slightly.
The frogman excitedly opened his zipper, and his face suddenly drooped.
There's a lot of junk in there!
Food, water, tents, warm clothes and other mountaineering items!
“It must be a hiker’s backpack that accidentally fell into the water.
At least two or three years!"
Zheng Yuanqiao lit a cigarette.
Liu Neng was very disappointed: "Keep searching!"
But the river channel is so small that the frogmen didn't find any suspicious objects for a long time.
"Captain Zheng, I think we should go back to the reservoir below!
In the center of the reservoir, there is still a large area that has not been salvaged.
And the whistleblower is probably not reliable.
Maybe he was lying on purpose."
Liu Neng suggested as Zheng Yuanqiao, who was walking along the riverbank, smoking,
Zheng Yuanqiao said nothing and finally stopped at the place where the river channel protruded into the reeds.
He stopped smoking immediately.
"Um?"
Although there are only a few steps between here and the side, standing here seems to be more comfortable than the side.
Zheng Yuanqiao's eyes were brighter than cigarette butts:
"The location mentioned by the informant seems to be here!"
"Xiao Liu, have the frogmen focus on searching this river!"
"no problem!"
Liu Neng went to make arrangements immediately.
“But, Captain Zheng, we searched this area too!
This river channel is not very large.
Relatively speaking, a body is a big deal, and my brothers are all experienced in salvaging it, so it's unlikely we'll miss it."
Zheng Yuanqiao exhaled a puff of smoke and realized that Liu Neng still preferred the reservoir below.
He is actually not sure now!
Liu Neng continued:
"Captain Zheng, if I were the murderer, it would definitely be safer to dump such a large body into the reservoir.
I feel like it’s a waste of time searching here!”
Zheng Yuanqiao's smoking suddenly stopped.
"Xiao Liu, have the frogmen search further downstream."
"ah?
Captain Zheng, what do you mean?
“What you just said is very true.
The whole body was too big to be thrown into the river.
Then perhaps, the murderer didn't throw away a complete body, but... body parts!"
Zheng Yuanqiao's eyes were brighter than ever before:
“We previously thought that this was a murder and head-slashing case!
The murderer and the victim had a deep hatred, so he cut off the head.
But is it possible that this is a murder and dismemberment case? !
The murderer cut off the head, which was only part of the body.
The purpose of dismembering the body is to make it easier and more discreet to dispose of it in the river!"
"If it's a dismembered body, the river is narrower here, and there's a corner further down.
The water flow is relatively faster!
The body parts might be washed further downstream?
Captain Zheng, that makes sense!"
Liu Neng's eyes lit up and he immediately asked the frogmen to search further downstream.
The frogmen didn't understand why, but they still followed the instructions.
This time, within ten minutes, someone from downstream exclaimed:
“Found it!”
With the experience of carrying backpacks just now, everyone was not in a hurry to get excited and looked over there.
Then, everyone's eyes widened!
I saw a frogman, his body still in the river, but his right arm wrapped in a black diving suit had already emerged from the gurgling water!
The key is!
In his hand, he was holding a slender arm that was pale white with pink cracks on the surface!
