In the forensic department, Jiayi gritted her teeth and grimaced as she read the illustrations of the thesis report that Xu Sir showed her -

"The relationship between the decay time of corpses and the development of worm eggs".

She also had to endure the tingling on her back and the horror of her hair standing on end, and smiled and praised Xu Sir for being so amazing. After

praising him, Jiayi felt that she was also very amazing. She could never have imagined that one day she would be able to laugh and talk about such disgusting and scary photo collections and explanations. It was

as if she had to build a "Jiayi organ bragging group" in her mind. The brain had to brag about the dirty heart being a big dirty heart, and the dirty heart also had to praise the brain for being an optimistic and strong brain.

After learning very scary but useful knowledge from Sir Xu, Jiayi simply made notes of a few pieces of information, and then went to the autopsy room with Sir Xu.

The severed finger was placed in an extra-small transparent sealed bag. Jiayi pretended to examine it carefully and immersed herself in the flow image.

The existence of the flow image means that the owner of the severed finger is indeed dead.

Jiayi pursed her lips and concentrated on the scene in front of her, trying not to be distracted by analysis.

Because there were too few body parts, the flow image was very blurry and short in duration.

There was a bang in the darkness, and the victim's face, whose head was blurred, suddenly rushed forward, and the next moment he fell freely. The scene was hazy, but Jiayi still saw another person sitting next to the victim, who suddenly raised his head when he was shot.

Although Jiayi couldn't see the other person's face clearly, she could imagine the shocked expression on that person's face when he looked up.

There was more than one victim.

The image of the victim was already blurry enough, and everything in the background and the murderer standing a few steps away with a gun in hand were even more blurry, making it difficult to distinguish his figure.

Before Jiayi could look at the murderer, the flow image ended. Jiayi had to continue staring at the severed finger and immerse herself in the flow image again.

This time, she focused her attention on the back of the victim. After a strange "bang" sound that seemed to have an echo, the murderer moved the muzzle of the gun and took a small half step forward.

The flow image ended again. Jiayi wiped her forehead, frowned slightly, squinted her eyes and stared at the severed finger again - she

read the flow image over and over again, and Jiayi kept trying to outline the outlines of the two victims and the murderer. Although it was difficult to extract effective information from such a short and vague content, she still tried her best.

After more than ten minutes, Jiayi put down the severed finger. After thanking Sir Xu, Jiayi frowned and left in thought.

After walking out of the forensic department, she stopped at the corner, tilted her head and recalled the blurry gunman in the flow image. Although she couldn't see clearly, her heart was inexplicably tight, and she felt that the figure was... familiar.

……

……

All members of Team B went out, two people in a group, visiting every seafood stall and restaurant on Victoria Park Road in Causeway Bay.

Each agent had a photocopy of the severed finger in his hand, telling the time and the location of the trash can, and then asked if anyone had seen this severed finger that somehow came to this street from the sea. He

walked into a restaurant, asked all the staff inside, came out in vain, shook the photos in his hand angrily, stretched his back, sighed, complained a few words, and turned to the next one.

This went on and on, no one knew when they could find the insider, or whether they could find the insider, but the work had to be done, and no matter how boring it was, it could not be neglected or missed.

Time was consumed every minute and every second, and life was quietly shortened in the search.

Xu Shaowei watched his colleagues carefully and responsibly looking for clues. He was obviously cold in his heart, but he had to pretend to be focused on his work when his colleague Tan Sanfu looked over.

Even though he tried hard to cover it up, when he walked out of the fourth restaurant, Sanfu still patted his shoulder and asked:

"Are you feeling unwell? I see you are always distracted."

Xu Shaowei put his hands in his trouser pockets, and the expensive watch was stuck between his left wrist and belt. If his right wrist leaned back slightly, it would hit the holster.

He pursed his lips and whispered: "Maybe a little cold."

Sanfu looked up at the weather. Although the sun was shining overhead, it was indeed quite cold, especially since this street was by the sea and the wind was quite strong.

The two walked across a section of the road and before entering the next restaurant, Sanfu stopped in front of a tea shop, took Xu Shaowei's wrist and turned him into the shop.

After rubbing his hands for a while to rub the heat in the shop, he bought two cups of ginger tea, each holding a hot paper cup in both hands, blowing away the bubbling heat on the paper cup while sipping it with a hissing sound.

After walking out of the shop one after another, Xu Shaowei's palms were hot, he looked up at the back of Tan Sanfu's head and closed his eyes tightly.

In the evening, Yi Jiayi joined Liang Shule and Uncle Jiu's team.

At 7pm, when everyone was hungry and considering whether to go out for dinner, Liu Jiaming and Gary found that one of the assistants in the kitchen of the most ostentatious One Kee Typhoon Shelter in Causeway Bay was asked about the broken finger. Although he denied seeing it, his eyes were shining.

So, Gary and Liu Jiaming took the assistant to the No. 1 box of One Kee Typhoon Shelter without hesitation, and finally pried the timid assistant's mouth open with coaxing and threats.

Then, the short assistant gave out another assistant chef who was present. The two assistants remembered and wrote down the seafood seller's fisherman number.

Within half an hour, all the agents of Team B gathered at Yiji Typhoon Shelter.

"The chef threw the severed finger into the sewer, but the sewer was blocked after the rain a few days ago, and a sewer cleaner was invited to work here." Gary introduced the information he and Liu Jiaming had collected.

"Brother Jiaming, contact the sewer cleaning company and ask which worker was in charge of this area the day before the severed finger was found." Jiayi gave the instructions, and Liu Jiaming immediately took the order to make a phone call.

Jiayi turned around, thought for a while, and said:

"It should be that the sewer cleaner took out the thing that blocked the sewer and threw it in the trash can, and this severed finger happened to be there. What do you think?"

"It should be like this." Sanfu nodded.

"I think so too." Liang Shule also nodded.

After discussing for a while, everyone felt hungry, so they simply had a seafood meal at Yi Ji Typhoon Shelter.

Fresh seafood, even if it is just blanched in water and dipped in mustard and soy sauce, is so sweet and delicious that you can't stop eating it. Yi Ji Seafood is very famous on this street, and its business is booming. The fresh seafood purchased on the same day will not be kept until the next day. It is bought and cooked every day, and the freshness is guaranteed. The reputation is maintained, and the business is getting better and better.

Jia Yi's team had a full meal, and there was also a response from the drainage company.

The troops split into two groups. Uncle Jiu took Sanfu and Gary to the dock to find the fisherman who delivered the broken finger to Yi Ji that day. Jiayi took Liu Jiaming, Xu Shaowei and Liang Shule to meet the drain cleaners.

Although both teams crossed many streets and it was very tiring to run around in the evening breeze, fortunately the evidence collection work was relatively smooth.

Jiayi's team got the addresses of the two workers in charge that day directly from the drain cleaning company, and when they met the first worker, they got the confession they wanted.

They accidentally picked up the broken finger in the blocked sewer outside Yi Ji Typhoon Shelter that day.

It was undoubtedly the one that Yi Ji threw away for the chef.

The place where they threw away the broken finger was where the old lady found the broken finger when she was collecting waste.

This line was finally straightened out.

Yi Jiayi led the team to meet another canal dredger as planned. The testimony obtained from the evidence was basically consistent with what the other canal dredger said, and the work was completed perfectly.

After the team went out, they went to Sai Wan Pier happily. After

gathering with Uncle Jiu and others, they learned that Uncle Jiu's team also got the testimony of the fisherman who was finger-breaking.

The fisherman's family used to go fishing by themselves, but in recent years, the family members who could fish were not in good health, so they changed their careers and began to distribute to some large fishing boats.

In fact, it is to find a reliable buyer, and then help with the scheduled transportation.

The fisherman then told Yi Jiayi as much information as possible about the ship number and other information he received that day. Then, under the leadership of the fisherman, Yi Jiayi led the team to meet the captain of the sea ship, the old fisherman, at around 10 pm.

Fishermen go to bed early on days when they are not out at sea. When Jiayi and others came to see him, the old fisherman was already ready to sleep. When he saw the police coming, he put on his clothes and came to see them.

After more than half an hour of interrogation, Jiayi and others basically grasped all the routes of the ship before unloading.

After leaving the dock, Jiayi immediately found a telephone booth to call Fang Zhenyue.

"Brother Yue, the severed finger must have been cut off by the propeller of the fishing boat, and then swept into the fishing net of the boat by the waves, and then brought back to the shore.

"Before unloading the cargo that day, the boat passed through the pier near the Yau Ma Tei Typhoon Shelter to unload the cargo..."

Jiayi listed all the locations along the fishing boat's route and their longitude and latitude data.

After obtaining a more detailed route of the fishing boat, Fang Zhenyue and the maritime search team made corrections to the search route.

Because they were worried that other factors would change the location of the sunken body, the search team did not stop and urgently searched for the sunken body on the seabed overnight.

The lights were on here, working day and night.

Yi Jiayi completed the task over there, and a team of people walked away from the pier to the parking lot and bus station under the stars.

As they walked, everyone chatted.

"We don't know if there really is a sunken body. If we haven't found it by tomorrow morning, it will be a false alarm. Maybe some gambler went crazy gambling before the New Year and lost everything except his underwear, but someone cut off a finger." Sanfu said, waving his index finger.

"I hope so. It's better for us to run around in vain than for someone to die again." Liu Jiaming yawned.

"Speaking of which, there have been quite a few missing persons reports recently, but we can't just take a severed finger and ask the family members who reported the case to identify the person, right? I guess if my finger was broken, my own mother might not recognize it if it was mine when she saw it." Gary shrugged.

Uncle Jiu immediately slapped him on the back of his head, "Hurry up and apologize to Guan Gong tomorrow morning. You're talking nonsense again!"

"Hehe. "Gary smiled and pretended to slap his mouth.

Uncle Jiu stretched his waist, shook his head and rolled his eyes at Gary, then suddenly said:

"As for that severed finger, I wonder if it was really cut off by the oar of the sunken body as we speculated."

"The old fisherman promised us that the boat would be moored at the dock tomorrow morning and not go out to sea to cooperate with our colleagues in the forensic department to conduct an investigation. We will know tomorrow." Jiayi turned around and smiled.

Since she has seen the mind flow image, there must be a body there, and there will probably be news from Brother Yue tomorrow morning.

"If it's really as we expected..." Uncle Jiu sighed and said with emotion: "The body sunk to the bottom of the sea is originally very difficult to be found. After a period of time, it will be eaten up by fish. It will be difficult to clear the name.

"It just happened to be cut by a boat's oar and then caught in a fishing net, and was sent to a typhoon shelter along with other seafood such as fish and shrimp.

"It was found by a chef and thrown away, but was dug out by a sewer worker because of flooding and clogged sewers."

"Yes, it was dug out, but the sewer worker thought it was unlucky and threw it into the trash can. If the old lady who collected waste hadn't found it, it might have been disposed of with other garbage, and it would have been buried in the sea without any incident... But it was found by an old lady who collected waste, and finally fell into the hands of the police." Gary also sighed twice.

"The ghost is lingering, and will not rest in peace until the murderer is found. "Uncle Jiu shook his head, waved to everyone, and turned into the garage to get the car.

Everyone continued to talk and chat, and Xu Shaowei, who was walking at the end of the team, lowered his eyes slightly. His eyes unconsciously followed Liang Shule's heels, swaying back and forth.

The moonlight was hazy and soft like jade, and the shadow cast was also gray and blurred.

Xu Shaowei stepped on Liang Shule's shadow cast by the moonlight, but even though he took big steps, he couldn't step on it.

It was like catching the wind with a net, but it always fell.
