Chapter 12111219 [Sincere cooperation with doctors]
There was a sunken depression on the seabed. In that hole, Jiang Xia saw a shadow swaying with the waves.
Black hair was floating like seaweed. When I swam closer and looked down, I saw a woman in a white dress lying there.
The woman's body was upright, "standing" quietly on the seabed. It was quite scary at first glance, but if you look closely, you can see that there was a rope tied around her ankles, and the hemp rope was connected to a heavy stone. The body floated up naturally, but was pulled by the rope halfway up, and eventually ended up in this strange posture.
Jiang Xia: "..." Fortunately, I didn't let Mao Li go into the sea. Now I don't have diving equipment. If she gets scared and instinctively follows the process, screaming and taking a big gulp of water at the bottom of the sea, then there will be one more person to rescue.
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Conan paddling over to the side and feeling the pulse of the corpse desperately.
After realizing that the person had indeed been dead for some time, he turned around and shook his head at Jiang Xia.
…
The two people resurfaced and broke through the water.
Several heads popped out of the speedboat, curiously and nervously asking, "How is it?"
"There is indeed a female corpse down there, weighed down by rocks and sunk into the sea." Jiang Xia grabbed the side of the boat and climbed into the speedboat, and then pulled Conan who couldn't reach the side of the boat, "Call the police."
“…Female corpse?!”
Several young girls were startled.
Kasuga Teruhiko also looked at the water with a look of disgust.
But soon, he remembered something and looked down at Conan, and saw that the child was looking at the sea with a surprisingly calm expression.
Kasuga Teruhiko: "..." Forget about Jiang Xia, he's a detective after all. What's wrong with this kid, did he grow up eating horror movies? He was so calm when he heard about the female corpse under the sea, which was scary at first glance... Could it be that he had been around the detective for a long time and had developed antibodies?
Speaking of this, if you think about it carefully, there do seem to be more murders around the detective.
He stroked his chin, thoughtfully.
…
After the police were called, they quickly salvaged the person - after all, it was a small town by the sea, and they found several drowned bodies every year, so their speed of working in the sea was not slow.
The body was moved to the beach.
It looked relatively intact, and should have been dead no more than a day ago. There was a rope tied around the body's ankles, and a stone the size of a washbasin was hanging from it.
When Jiang Xia washed off the sea water on his body, changed his clothes, and returned to the beach, he saw several policemen with embarrassed looks on their faces.
"Well, um..." The leading police officer secretly glanced at his phone, then raised his head and asked seriously, "Who was the first person to discover it?"
Jiang Xia didn't need to say anything, Xiaobai had already skillfully floated to the police officer's shoulder and secretly looked at the phone screen.
Then he came back and told Jiang Xia: The police officer was secretly watching his colleagues in other places and sharing the murder case handling process with him.
Jiang Xia: “…” It has become so peaceful that the police won’t investigate murders. It seems this town is not suitable for psychics to live in… Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that all murders have turned into “suicides” and the police have not been given the opportunity to exercise.
While examining the ecological environment here, he pointed to Conan next to him and said: "It's me and this kid."
"Oh oh." The policeman was silent again.
According to his experience, the first person to discover something is often a suspect, but now, there are two people who discovered something, one is a primary school student who looks lighter than a stone, and the other is a detective with a good reputation who is said to hate evil. This made him feel a little confused again.
Conan was unable to peek at the phone screen and didn't quite understand why the policeman was so slow.
He pointed at Kasuga Teruhiko and took the initiative to talk about the process of discovering the body: "We were boating in the sea at the time, and my brother's speedboat almost hit us. I accidentally fell into the water, and then I saw the female corpse."
The implication is that Kasuga Teruhiko is actually also a suspect, since it was such a coincidence that he bumped into him.
But on second thought, the high school students who were assigned to that area also seem worthy of investigation.
Perhaps the amount of information was a bit too much, the police officer froze for a moment, not understanding what Conan wanted to say. He just responded with "hmm, hmm, I see" a few times, made a few notes in the notebook, and pretended to be concentrating on thinking.
Just as I was fooling around, a woman with a high ponytail ran over.
She squeezed into the crowd and saw the body on the ground. She immediately rushed over crying, "Guangzi, Guangzi!"
The fat police officer's eyes lit up: "Do you know her? Can you tell me your identities?" - Very good, the case has made a big step forward. With the identities, we can investigate the motives of the deceased's acquaintances. The drowned woman did not carry any ID, and he was still worried about how to confirm her identity.
The woman with a high ponytail nodded and wiped away her tears: "My name is Murai Tomoko, she is my friend, Sekine Mitsuko, we are both residents here. She even called me yesterday, how come she suddenly..."
The police officer wrote down the information, looked at her sad expression, sighed, and wanted to say a few words of comfort.
But at this moment, a few people suddenly walked over.
The fat police officer turned around, recognized one of them, and shouted, "Doctor Tanaka!"
Katsuyoshi Tanaka nodded to the fat police officer. This irritable man who had just argued with the high school student and the woman with a high ponytail last night, now greeted the policeman in a friendly manner: "What happened?"
"We salvaged a female corpse from the sea." The policeman was surprisingly polite to him. "Well, I'll have to trouble you to help with the autopsy again."
They don't have a forensic doctor here, so most of the time, they ask doctors for help.
It’s just that other doctors don’t like this job. Only Dr. Tanaka is more enthusiastic. He has helped the police several times, and the fat police officer has a very good impression of him.
The other doctors who were playing on the beach now mixed in with the crowd; they came here with Dr. Tanaka.
At this time, several people looked at the corpse on the ground and had no intention of helping - they were treating living people, and always felt that autopsy was a very ungentle job, and Tanaka had already gone, so a group of people simply became spectators.
…
The fat police officer was originally very worried about the murder case, but now, in just a few minutes, he found that he had gathered a forensic doctor and a famous detective who came from out of town to travel, and his back straightened up immediately.
Like a middleman hoping for sincere cooperation between experts, he turned to Jiangxia and introduced Dr. Tanaka to him: "This is a famous doctor in our town. He has superb medical skills and is in great demand even in big cities. However, he never forgot his original intention and liked the environment here in his hometown, so he came back half a year ago."
