Chapter 135 Corpse Floating in the River 01 This year our group is a bit unlucky...
Chapter 1
"Hello, this is Huaicheng City 110 Police Center. Please go ahead."
"We found the body near the river."
·
Police cars roared through the city. It was afternoon time when students were leaving school and the traffic was congested.
A line of several police cars headed straight to the riverside on the outskirts of the city.
Ten minutes ago, the 110 emergency call center received a report from the public that a male body was found in the river in Xiahe District of Huiyang Village on the outskirts of the city.
The Municipal Public Security Bureau immediately dispatched the Second Criminal Police Team.
Huaiyang City is a fourth-tier city with fresh air, excellent water quality, dense vegetation and pleasant climate. Now many young people come here to live and return to the countryside.
Huaiyang has a well-developed water system and local agriculture is also well-developed, and people often fish and have picnics in the river.
The people who reported the case this time were a young couple. They wanted to take a break on Saturday and get away from the hustle and bustle of the city, so they came to the river to camp.
The boys were responsible for setting up the tent and the girls were responsible for collecting firewood.
There were dense water plants by the river. When the girl was picking up branches, she saw what seemed to be a person lying in the water plants.
When I walked over to take a look, I saw that it was indeed a person, but a dead person.
She screamed in fear.
The body in the water was soaked so much that its original appearance was completely unrecognizable and it was swollen like a balloon.
The boy ran over immediately after hearing his girlfriend's screams. He was frightened by the scene and pulled the girl quickly toward the road, not caring about the things by the river.
After calming down a little, the two immediately called the police and then drove to a nearby village to wait for the police to arrive.
It takes an hour to drive from the city to Huiyang Village.
The sun had already set when the police arrived.
Under the guidance of the young couple, Zhang Zhen, the captain of the criminal police team, found the body.
Seeing that the two men were relatively young, Zhang Zhen asked the criminal police to take them to the village to take statements.
When the body was fished out of the lake, its facial features were completely unrecognizable.
The people who pulled the body out of the water were surprised: "With just this little water, he shouldn't have drowned here."
The water in the river is currently only one meter deep at most, and the man who was rescued is at least 1.8 meters tall.
The forensic doctor arrived at the scene quickly.
After a preliminary inspection of the body, he said: "He probably didn't drown near here. He must have been washed here by the current. The dense water plants here entangled him."
"There hasn't been any heavy rain in our city recently, so the river shouldn't be flooded."
Zhang Zhen opened the map and took a look. There was a reservoir about 30 kilometers upstream.
This reservoir starts releasing water every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon.
He asked the medical examiner: "Can the time of death of the deceased be confirmed?"
The medical examiner said: "Based on the current condition of the body, it is about three days."
Today is Friday, which means it is Tuesday, which is the time when the reservoir releases water.
"It seemed like there was a heavy rain in Xiangyang on Tuesday." A police officer nearby said, "My wife went to Xiangyang for a meeting, but was stopped at the high-speed rail station by the heavy rain."
After repeatedly observing the deceased's face, the forensic assistant said: "It seems that a pattern can be pieced together from the deceased's face."
The deceased was lying face down. Not only was his face soaked in water, but his face was also scratched by rocks in the river. The broken areas were swollen and stretched, with the flesh turned inside out. Without a close look, no pattern could be seen on his face.
As soon as they heard the word pattern, all the police gathered around, fearing that it was the mark of the judge.
The assistant tried to restore the story, and everyone fell silent.
The pattern that is pieced together is exactly the pattern of the Judge.
Zhang Zhen reported it immediately.
The judge's case can easily cause a stir on the Internet, and now police officers everywhere are afraid of it.
Because of the uproar caused by this type of case, the local cultural and tourism bureau has worked in vain for several years.
Lu Changfeng was still thinking about going to the supermarket with Jing Jue to buy groceries and cook at home after get off work when the phone on his desk rang.
His heart suddenly rose to his throat.
Yue Fanglin answered the phone, and then his face became serious. He mouthed to Lu Changfeng, "There is a case."
Lu Changfeng's heart was hanging in the air. He stood up and went outside to say to the two people who were about to get off work, "There is a case."
Jing Jue and Zhou Yu looked at Lu Changfeng.
The day after tomorrow is the seventh anniversary of Zhou Yu and his wife's relationship, and they have made an appointment to spend some time alone.
Now the world of two people is ruined.
Zhou Yu asked: "Shall we set out now?"
Yue Fanglin opened the door and came out: "The higher-ups want us to leave right away. The flight is at 8 o'clock and we will land at 10:30. May Day is coming soon. We are afraid that this case will be delayed until May Day and affect local tourism."
They packed their bags immediately. When they passed by Group 8, Lu Changfeng said to Tingyuan, "I'll ask you to take care of Chunlai. I have to go on a business trip again."
"Okay." Tingyuan replied.
Group 8, where Tingyuan is, does not need to travel, as they are mainly responsible for online fraud.
Jing Jue’s birthday is in a few days.
Lu Changfeng hopes to finish the case before Jing Jue’s birthday so that he can have a good 24th birthday for Jing Jue.
When the few people set out for the airport, Huiyang Village had already put the body into a body bag and was preparing to take it back to the Municipal Bureau for further examination.
The deceased did not have any items on his body that could prove his identity, so we could only go back and compare fingerprints and DNA to see if we could find out the identity of the deceased.
We asked the villagers in Huiyang Village nearby, and they all said they had not seen the body.
It was almost dark when the criminal police team returned to the city from Huiyang Village.
Zhang Zhen also received information from the serious crime squad and called Yue Fanglin.
At that time, Yue Fanglin and others were already on the plane.
Yue Fanglin's phone was on silent and he didn't receive any call.
After getting off the plane, I found a missed call from Huaiyang and called back immediately.
Within a few seconds, the call was successfully connected.
Yue Fanglin immediately apologized: "I'm sorry, I fell asleep on the plane with my phone on silent mode and didn't see the call."
The other end said, "It's okay. Hello, Captain Yue. I'm the responding criminal police officer for this case. My name is Zhang Zhen."
"Hello, Captain Zhang, what is the current situation of the case?"
Zhang Zhen said: "The identity of the deceased has not been confirmed yet. An autopsy is currently underway. The time of death was three days ago. The preliminary conclusion is that the cause of death was drowning."
Yue Fanglin said, "Okay, we'll talk about it in detail after we meet with the other city bureaus."
Zhang Zhen said: "I'll pick you up. You just arrived at the airport, right?"
Yue Fanglin said: "No need, we can take a taxi, it's not far."
"Okay, then I'll prepare a room for you. Have you had dinner? If not, I'll arrange something for you."
"We had dinner on the plane. It's okay. Let's talk about it after we get there."
Lu Changfeng got a taxi, a seven-seater business car. Jing Jue had a stomachache. Everyone was already very tired after a day's work, and they had flown such a long distance, so he wanted to make everyone feel more comfortable.
Yue Fanglin looked at the coffee vendor and said, "I'll go buy Jing Jue a cup of coffee. What do you guys want to drink?"
Jing Jue shook his head: "Captain Yue, you don't have to buy it for me. I don't want to drink it."
Lu Changfeng's hand had not healed yet, so Zhou Yu and Yue Fanglin helped push the suitcase, while he used his good hand to support Jing Jue.
After getting in the car, Lu Changfeng asked Jing Jue: "Can you do it? If not, let's go to the hospital for emergency treatment."
Yue Fanglin turned around to look at Jing Jue's condition, his face turned pale, and he said, "Send him to the emergency room directly. It would be troublesome if he has acute gastroenteritis."
Yue Fanglin asked the driver to navigate to the hospital and called Zhang Zhen to inform him of the situation.
Zhang Zhen expressed his understanding and asked them which hospital they were going to and he would come over.
Yue Fanglin asked him to concentrate on investigating the case and arrange to send Jing Jue to the hospital later, and then they would go to the police station.
Jing Jue's pain was getting worse and worse. Before he even reached the hospital, his face was already covered in sweat. Lu Changfeng looked anxious.
The driver said, "Maybe you ate something bad."
No one understands why airplane meals are served the same to all passengers.
Lu Changfeng was almost half squatting beside Jing Jue.
Jing Jue endured the pain in his abdomen and said to Lu Changfeng, "Go back and sit still. If the car brakes suddenly later, you might fall down again. Your arm, which has almost recovered, might be injured again."
Zhou Yu also said, "Yes, Captain Lu, just sit down and I will take care of Jing Jue."
Yue Fanglin also said: "Listen to Jing Jue. If you really get hurt later, Jing Jue will be upset and worried about you."
The map showed that the hospital was still seven kilometers away.
Lu Changfeng asked: "Is there anyone closer?"
The driver said, "This is the nearest hospital."
Huaiyang Airport is dozens of kilometers away from the city.
As soon as they arrived at the hospital, Yue Fanglin jumped out of the car and rushed into the emergency room, calling for people to come and help.
The nurses and doctors rushed out pushing a cart and pushed Jing Jue into the emergency room as quickly as possible.
The doctor's preliminary diagnosis was acute gastroenteritis.
Then we will do various detailed inspections.
After a lot of trouble, it was confirmed that it was acute gastroenteritis caused by bacterial infection, and it was already twelve o'clock in the evening.
The doctor asked Jing Jue to stay in the hospital for one night and wait until tomorrow to see the situation. If the problem is not serious, he can be discharged.
Lu Changfeng said to Yue Fanglin and Zhou Yu: "You go to the Municipal Bureau, I will stay here with Jing Jue."
The doctor noticed that one of Lu Changfeng's arms was still in a sling, and reminded him, "The patient currently has no symptoms of vomiting or diarrhea, but it is possible that this may happen at night, and you may not be able to take care of him."
Zhou Yu said, "Then let me stay with Jing Jue tonight, and you two go to the Municipal Bureau to continue investigating the case. I have a computer anyway, so I can help you wherever you are."
Lu Changfeng was worried about Jing Jue, but there was really no point in him staying.
Jing Jue said to Lu Changfeng: "You and Captain Yue go to the bureau. I'm fine. If I have any problems, I will definitely tell you. Brother Zhou will take good care of me."
Lu Changfeng touched Jing Jue's face and said, "Captain Yue and I will go to the bureau first to see if there is any progress. If there is no progress, I will come back to the hospital to accompany you."
Jing Jue nodded.
Lu Changfeng looked at Zhou Yu and said, "Xiao Zhou, I'm leaving Jing Jue in your care. If anything happens to him, you must tell me immediately."
As soon as Lu Changfeng and Yue Fanglin left, Jing Jue began to feel nauseous and vomited soon after.
Zhou Yu wanted to tell Lu Changfeng, but was stopped by Jing Jue: "Don't tell them, lest they worry, I'm fine."
Zhou Yu sighed: "This year our group is a bit unlucky."
Zhou Yu was rear-ended while driving home a few days ago. The rear headlights and trunk of his car were all broken. He didn't even care about the car and was lucky that no one was hurt.
At the beginning of the year, the water pipes in Yue Fanglin's home burst due to freezing, and the bedroom floor was soaked.
Then he said, "It's okay. You and Captain Lu both got injured before your birth year. I'm going to ward off the disaster in advance. I guarantee you'll have a smooth year. Change your name and go to the Forbidden City to get a lucky bracelet."
Jing Jue was lying weakly on the bed. After hearing what Zhou Yu said, he smiled and said, "Then I'll borrow your good wishes. I hope that good things will happen to Captain Lu and me this year."
"Do you like Captain Lu?" Zhou Yu suddenly asked.
Jing Jue was a little surprised.
When Zhou Yu saw Jing Jue's expression, he knew that he had guessed right.
