The next day,

the quiet late autumn morning was broken by the sound of police, and a yellow cordon was set up on the bank of Binjiang River. Outside the cordon on the beach, there were residents watching the excitement, and even a few reporters.

"Captain Xu, good morning!"

"Good morning, Captain Xu!"

The police officers who arrived early saw Xu Yao coming and greeted him one by one.

Xu Yao was wearing a casual black jacket today, and his burly figure was very conspicuous in the crowd. He walked straight to a young police officer with a crew cut and asked, "Xiao Liu, who found the body? When? Witnesses, surveillance?"

"To be precise, it should be a body part. It was found by the sanitation workers when they were cleaning up the garbage by the river at 5:30 this morning. There was a black plastic bag hanging on a tree branch. After the sanitation worker opened it, he saw a bloody arm and was so scared that he called the police immediately!"

Liu Xiaobo said as he handed Xu Yao a pair of white gloves and led him to several black plastic bags. "Captain Xu, according to the police report, there are no eyewitnesses or surveillance."

Xu Yao put his hands on his waist and thought for a while. He looked down and saw a familiar figure squatting in front of the black plastic bag. The long, black, curly wavy hair looked particularly beautiful in the morning sun. "Hey, Sister Ya, what did you find?"

Lin Yalin, wearing white gloves, methodically took out the tools from the investigation box and began to examine the body.

Xu Yao squatted next to Lin Yalin and saw that the body in the torn plastic bag had swelled up after being soaked in water, and the surface had turned white. A strong stench of corpse wafted to his nose, and several colleagues present could not help but cover their noses.

A clear and pleasant voice came out of Lin Yalin's mouth, "The deceased is a female. There are white wrinkles on her palms and soles, like gloves. The preliminary estimate is that she has been dead for more than five days."

At this time, a police officer wearing white gloves and carrying a plastic bag came over, "Captain Xu, another bag of body parts was found on the beach here. The plastic bags used are of the same specifications. They should belong to the same deceased!"

Lin Yalin took the black plastic bag calmly and examined it carefully, "Preliminary observation shows that the head and internal organs of the corpse are all missing. As for which parts are missing, we need to do a more detailed investigation after we go back."

"Oh my God! This murderer is so perverted." Liu Xiaobo exclaimed.

Xu Yao gave instructions to continue searching for other parts of the body and to check for suspicious footprints and wheel marks.

Afterwards, Xu Yao stood up and looked around the entire surrounding environment. There was a bridge across the river on the beach. Two huge bridge pillars stood at a short distance, extending from the bridge piers to the other side of the river. The traffic on the bridge was very noisy.

Many people gathered outside the cordon to watch the excitement. Although there was a dismembered body case here, there were still many fishing enthusiasts sitting on the rocks under the bridge and fishing quietly.

Liu Xiaobo also followed Captain Xu's gaze and looked at the residents who were concentrating on fishing, and said, "Captain Xu, the residents living by this river really love fishing, probably because the fish in this river are meaty and delicious. I just heard that people fishing in this area never stop during the day, and some people even fish all night long. It's really amazing."

"You said that there are people fishing here at night, so there shouldn't be no eyewitnesses. Look at so many vehicles and pedestrians passing by on the bridge..." When Xu Yao was thinking about something, he always habitually took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it, as if the smell of cigarettes could keep his mind clear.

Liu Xiaobo has always regarded Xu Yao as his idol. No matter what Xu Yao says, he thinks it is right and will execute it without question. "Oh, I feel strange that Captain Xu wants to push me so hard. But don't worry, Captain Xu, I will send a few more people to find witnesses."

Xu Yao turned around and saw a blurry figure walking against the light. "Hello, Captain Xu, good morning, colleagues!" The voice was soft and pleasant.

His short hair was messy like a chicken's nest, and his thin body was not in harmony with the uniform. Only his face was barely acceptable.

"Captain Xu, my name is Mo Xiaoqing, and I'm a police officer who has just been transferred from the Dongjing Police Station."

Mo Xiaoqing shouted with full energy, and stretched out her right hand to salute, but when her legs were crossed, she stepped on the uneven gravel and couldn't keep her balance, so she swayed.

Xu Yao's brows were getting tighter and tighter, and a ball of anger rose in his heart, but he still controlled himself and didn't get angry.

Xu Yao thought, their criminal police team usually has to fight criminals in the hail of bullets, and her small body doesn't look like a person with a good physique, so she must be sent as an assistant, not a hindrance!

"Officer Mo, right! I remember now, the new recruit who was notified to report before nine o'clock was late for half an hour!"

Xu Yao said as he threw the fireworks in his hand into the river. His voice was obviously several decibels louder, as if he was shouting, "Look at your attitude! You learned nothing in the police academy!"

"Captain Xu, actually I was..." I went to bed at 4:30 in the morning after recording the girl's statement last night. I was woken up early this morning and was told that I was transferred to Binjiang River to assist in the investigation.

"We police officers don't have excuses!" Xu Yao hates making all kinds of excuses at work.

Suddenly, the atmosphere at the scene fell into a weird awkwardness. Liu Xiaobo hurriedly came out to smooth things over, smiling brightly and extending his hand,

"Wow! Hello, newcomer. We finally have a woman in our team. You must be the new assistant to Captain Xu. Haha, don't worry about it. Captain Xu looks very strict, he is just cold on the outside but warm on the inside..."

Mo Xiaoqing smiled indifferently, "Hello, please take care of me! I was on duty last night, so I got up late. Sorry, Captain Xu, I won't dare to do it next time."

"See, Captain Xu, you misunderstood me." Liu Xiaobo looked at Xu Yao in a flattering way, hoping to ease the atmosphere.

Xu Yao never looked at Mo Xiaoqing again, but just told her to go over and take some detailed pictures of the body parts and to write down some of his work points with a pen.

Mo Xiaoqing took out her camera, and when she opened the plastic bag and looked at the swollen, white, and smelly corpse, her stomach acid started to boil, and she vomited bitter bile because she hadn't eaten breakfast.

Liu Xiaobo rushed over and handed over a few sheets of paper, saying with a smile, "

This is your first time encountering a murder case! It's okay, just treat it as raw pork!" It would have been better if she hadn't said that, but once she did, Mo Xiaoqing squatted on the ground and vomited.

Xu Yao began to deploy the work, "Old Guo is responsible for identifying the deceased, notifying the family, and investigating the deceased's situation before his death."

Suddenly Xu Yao thought of something, and turned his gaze back to Mo Xiaoqing who was still squatting on the ground vomiting. He frowned and waited for her to stop vomiting before saying, "Momomo..., you're done vomiting! After you're done vomiting, I have a question for you, what happened to the girl who called the police last night?"

"Her name is Huang Zhixiang, she is 19 years old this year, her hometown is Hunan, she dropped out of school after junior high school and came to this city to work, she rented a house and lived alone at No. 83, Dongjing Street, Nanshan Road, Tianhuan District. She came to the police station to report the case at 1:23 last night, Captain Xu suspected that this dismemberment case was related to her?" Mo Xiaoqing answered calmly.

Xu Yao was slightly startled, this little girl has a good memory, Xu Yao quickly gave instructions, "Xiao Liu, now immediately follow the procedures to retrieve all the relevant information about Huang Zhixiang's suicide last night, you are responsible for searching her home, and report any situation in time." The

forensic department, technical department and other related departments are still working intensively, Xiao Liu, Lao Guo and several police officers left the scene, Mo Xiaoqing stood by and felt very uncomfortable.

"Mo...Mo...Mo what, follow me!" Xu Yao called out, and turned to walk towards the beach on the right.

"Captain Xu, my name is Mo Xiaoqing, it's easy to remember." Mo Xiaoqing followed Captain Xu nervously, not daring to say much.

Xu Yao walked up from the beach, stepped on a green meadow, and continued to walk forward for two hundred meters before arriving at the bridge pier.

Two huge bridge pillars stand in the soil. The further you go down the bridge, the more lush the vegetation grows, green and amazing. Deep in the bridge pier, there are lush bushes growing unevenly, lush and verdant.

Mo Xiaoqing thought as she walked, this place is obviously a noisy place. Is the murderer really stupid to choose to dump the body here, or is he not familiar with the environment?

Xu Yao suddenly asked, "Mo Xiaoqing, just tell me what you think about this case."

Mo Xiaoqing was frightened and her tongue began to get tied. "Xu... Captain Xu, I... I don't have any opinion."

Xu Yao snorted coldly, "Well, you are indeed sent here to liven up the atmosphere of the police force."

Xu Yao's words aroused Mo Xiaoqing's competitive spirit. Although she was very immature in front of the detective captain Xu Yao, she was not as unbearable as Captain Xu said. "Captain Xu, let me tell you my opinion. If I am wrong, please forgive me.

I think it is a bit strange for the murderer to choose to dump the body here . Silly, there are cars coming and going on this bridge, and the area under the bridge is a place for residents to take a leisurely walk or go fishing.

Whether it is day or night, the murderer will be easily exposed if he dumps the body. A girl weighs at least 60 or 70 kilograms. No matter whether the murderer chooses to walk to the scene or use other means of transporting the body, the target is too big. I really don't understand why he dumped the body here?"

Xu Yao pulled a weed, stretched out his right hand to pinch a lump of dark mud from the root of the weed, put it to his nose and smelled it, and said casually: "What if the murderer didn't show up when the body was dumped?"

"How can the murderer dump the body if the murderer doesn't show up? This is not a supernatural movie." Mo Xiaoqing couldn't help but exclaimed.

Xu Yao ignored her and walked straight into the depths of the bridge pier. The further he

went in, the darker the light became and the more lush the weeds became. Xu Yao pushed aside the weeds and walked forward. A pungent and unpleasant smell emanated from the black mud on the ground.

When Mo Xiaoqing wanted to continue walking forward, Xu Yao stopped her and asked her to stand still. Xu Yao stepped on all the weeds that were as tall as his head and broke the branches of the bushes with his bare hands, revealing a huge pipe covered with black stains.

"Mo Xiaoqing, on which day did it rain heavily in the past week?" Xu Yao asked.

"Heavy rain? I remember it rained heavily some time ago, but I don't remember which day." Mo Xiaoqing took out her mobile phone to check the weather forecast while speaking, "Captain Xu, there was indeed a heavy rainstorm on January 12th.

" "So that's it!"

After Xu Yao finished speaking, he whispered again, "Mo Xiaoqing, do you have a flashlight?"

Mo Xiaoqing took out a flashlight from her bag and handed it over. Captain Xu was bending over the pipe, and asked her to take out gloves and tweezers.

Captain Xu picked up a few strands of hair and put them in a plastic bag and sealed it.

"Captain Xu, did the murderer dump the body from here? I understand a little bit. The murderer found out that it would rain heavily that day, so he dumped the body from the sewage pipe. If it was a heavy rain, the water below would be full, which would have washed the body to the center of the river. If it hadn't been sunny these few days, the river beach would have been exposed soon, and it would have been completely destroyed! He is not stupid, but extremely smart!"

Xu Yao's mind was working quickly, and he asked Mo Xiaoqing if she had a city map?

Mo Xiaoqing happened to have it in her backpack. After handing a map and a pen to Captain Xu, Captain Xu didn't say a word and kept circling and dotting on the map.

Ten minutes passed, twenty minutes passed...

Mo Xiaoqing was so bored waiting that she had to sit on the grass and play with it. Finally, Captain Xu came to his senses, took out his cell phone and made a call,

"Director Zeng, you should have received the news about the Binjiang dismemberment case. I want to send some people from you to the Dongjing Street area to investigate, especially the Liyang Shoe Factory and the houses and basements on both sides to search for clues.

At this time, Liu Xiaobo also reported a major discovery. There was indeed a blood-stained skirt, shoes and a fruit knife under Huang Zhixiang's bed, but the room was not the scene of the dismemberment.

Xu Yao began to use The deployment work was controlled by the phone, and another half an hour passed in a flash.

After finishing the work, I remembered that there was still a living person next to me.

Looking down, there was a person sitting quietly at his feet, a very small ball, quietly taking notes.

The lazy sunlight shone on her fair face, very warm.

Looking back, Mo Xiaoqing smiled, "Captain Xu, are you done?"

Xu Yao was absent-minded for a moment, and immediately returned to the stern and cold Captain Xu.

"Let's go, let's go back to the police team first, I have something to ask you later."

Mo Xiaoqing was about to answer that she was seconded from the police station and should not go back to the criminal police team with Captain Xu.

Suddenly, Xu Yao's cell phone rang. When he picked up the phone, his expression changed drastically. The crying and shouting on the other end was so loud that Mo Xiaoqing could hear it even though she was standing nearby.

"Xu Yao, save me, save me! Ah, blood...blood~~"
