On the side of the pit, several bright searchlights emitted a cold white light on the dark hillside, attracting the surrounding insects to gather in groups, buzzing and annoying.

"What's the situation at the scene?" Xiao Ran and the others walked over and asked the comrades at the police station.

"We suspect that the deceased was a homeless man who fell to his death in the pit. The body was found by an old man from a nearby village, who went up the mountain to look for herbs, and when he came down from this side in the evening, he smelled a foul smell, and when he came to see that it was a dead man, he hurried to our office to report the crime. ”

The comrade in charge of the scene said: "We have briefly seen the scene, the nature is not easy to judge, and the corpse did not dare to move, so we asked you professionals to come and take a look." ...... Oh yes, we've already asked about the surrounding villages, and there are no missing villagers. ”

The comrades from the police station handed over the scene, Xiao Ran waved his hand to drive away the insects flying in front of him, endured the stench and walked to the edge of the pit, observing the surrounding environment.

The pit where the deceased was located was a naturally formed pit that could barely be called a circular crater, and because it was on the mountainside, it was high on one side and low on the other, and the pit wall was almost perpendicular to the bottom of the pit, covered with undulating stones.

The diameter of the pit is about 10 meters, and the low side is about 6 meters from the bottom of the pit, but the deceased did not fall from the high or low side, but on the left edge of the pit, where it is about 7 meters from the bottom of the pit.

The body of the deceased was in a supine position at the bottom of the pit, lying on a piece of rubble against the wall of the pit, and his body was pressed by several stones.

There were also several unknown shrubs next to the corpse, and by the light of the searchlight, the deceased's clothes and face were black, and it was impossible to distinguish what color it was.

The body of the deceased was highly decomposed and looked like a giant, and his face was long indistinguishable, but from the deceased's faintly visible short hair, it was certain that the deceased was a man, and the clothes on his upper body seemed to be a vest, and there was a water bottle in his breast pocket.

"Leizi, Liu Qing, you go to the pit above the deceased and take a look. ”

Xiao Ran patted Zhang Lei and Liu Qing on the shoulders, turned around and took the two sets of protective clothing handed over by Yu Yu, raised his hand and threw one to He Liang, "Brother who has seen the scene, put it on, don't be stunned, prepare to go into the pit!"

"I ...... Do you really want to go down?" He Liang covered his nose, his face was entangled, and his expression was like being constipated for ten years.

"Then, here's for you. Yu Yu threw a gas mask to He Liang expressionlessly, this girl is still the same, and she doesn't want to say a word indifferently in front of people she doesn't know.

Seeing He Liang in the gas mask, it was like seeing a life-saving straw, he hurriedly put on the gas mask, took a deep breath inside, and said in an urn: "For the first time, I feel that the air in the gas mask is so sweet!"

"Don't be sweet, let's go down!"

Xiao Ran put on protective clothing, put on a mask, walked to a place with a slightly slower slope on the low side of the big pit, picked up the forensic box with equipment and residual rain, and took the lead to follow the rope that the comrades from the police station had lowered to the bottom of the pit.

After that, Yu Yu and He Liang also followed, but the three of them did not immediately go in the direction of the corpse, but with the help of the comrades from the police station, they first fixed the scene at the bottom of the pit and searched for traces of items that might be related.

With the sound of a single-lens reflex, Xiao Ran found a sneaker with an iron nail tied to the sole of his shoe in the lush bushes at the bottom of the pit, which looked no different from ordinary sneakers.

But Xiao Ran, who has always been particular about the quality of life, knows that this is a professional off-road shoe of Salomon, and the price is not cheap.

"Team Xiao, do you think this is a murder weapon?" He Liang shouted, pointing to a bush.

Xiao Ran walked over and took a photo, it was something similar to a crutch, and ordinary people would basically not recognize what it was if they didn't pay much attention to it.

"It's a Nordic walking pole, a must-have for people who like to go cross-country and hike long distances. Xiao Ran carefully picked up the cross-country pole and looked at it, there was no blood on it, so he put it in the physical evidence belt and put it away.

"There's also a headlamp. Yu Yu was also found not far from the body.

"This is a cross-country player, I should have walked this way, accidentally fell into the pit and died. ”

He Liang said with emotion: "These people are idle, don't they have time to have a good time, they have to find some excitement, run in the barren mountains and mountains to play cross-country, unlucky." ”

"Don't jump to conclusions. Remember, in our line of work, sometimes some of the evidence cannot be trusted. Xiao Ran knocked on He Liang's gas mask, turned around and followed Yu Yu to the stinky corpse.

First, I waited around the corpse and looked around, but after all, the brightness of the light was not as good as that in the daytime, and the corpse was surrounded by rocks, and many stone cracks still could not be seen clearly, so I could only conduct a preliminary autopsy first, and then come back to revisit the scene after dawn tomorrow.

The three of them had just squatted down around the corpse, and He Liang next to him suddenly screamed, and jumped to the side like a ghost, and the comrades from the police station who were frightened by the lights above trembled, and the searchlight pillar shook violently a few times.

"He's moving!" the voice in He Liang's gas mask changed tone, pointing to the deceased's bulging abdomen.

Xiao Ran took a closer look, and sure enough, the deceased's swollen abdomen bulged for a while and then slowly collapsed, as if he was breathing.

"Don't be afraid, it's not the entity that's moving, it's the maggots under the clothes. Yu Yu said calmly, letting Xiao Ran shine on the light and take a few photos first.

Xiao Ran tightened the mask on his face, such a highly corrupted corpse was the first time he had seen it in his actual case-handling career, and he had only been in contact with it once before when he was an intern in Beijing.

At this time, by the light of the flashlight, the swollen mouth of the deceased could be seen slightly open, and from time to time several fly larvae crawled out of it, and then merged with the fly larvae that crawled out of the nostrils of the corpse.

These fly larvae range from large to small, ranging from large ones to about 2 centimeters long, and small ones are still ovate, clustered together in dense white spots.

Yu Yu, who had long been unfazed, gently brushed away the fly larvae on the deceased's face with his gloved hand, but then new larvae came out, because it was already highly corrupt, the deceased's face became very thin, and it would break with a little force, and the brown viscous liquid wrapped around the white fly larvae and meandered out on the facial skin of the corpse.

The deceased wore two clothes on his upper body, a waistcoat on the outside and a black sports long-sleeved shirt on the inside, but because of the rotting liquid of the corpse, the clothes on the deceased's body became very wet and slippery, and a slight touch could pull out strands of sticky silk threads.

It can be seen that the deceased's clothes are of good quality, even if the corpse has been highly decomposed and expanded, the clothes are still tightly clinging to the undamaged, but from the tight fabric, it can be felt that the clothes seem to have reached the limit of elasticity, and the next second it will burst open with the carrion inside.

"Give me the scissors, I'm going to cut his clothes open and look at the corpse. Yu Yu stretched out his hand and said intently.

Xiao Ran handed over the scissors, and after Yu Yu cut the deceased's shirt, a pile of milky white things immediately gushed out of the deceased's belly, as if a small milk fountain ten centimeters high was installed on the deceased's belly.

Faced with the sudden fountain of fly larvae, Xiao Ran, Yu Yu, and He Liang all subconsciously took two steps back.

Xiao Ran frowned, looking at the milky white larvae that were scattered and wriggling in the light because they were unrestrained.

At this time, the abdomen of the deceased is cracked, and those dense larvae can be seen entangled with each other, drilling dense holes in the deceased's abdomen that make the scalp tingle, in and out.

And because of the large number of these larvae, as they burrow around, because of all kinds of friction with the skin and muscles, and the agitation in the putrid mucus, the surface of the corpse at this time emits a tense 'sizzling' sound.

"What the hell is this...... ...... vomit"

He Liangna, who had been working in the institute during his previous internship, had seen this kind of scene with his own eyes, although he had just vomited once, but now he still couldn't hold back, and he turned his head and ran wildly to the pit wall opposite the big pit, took off his gas mask and retched again.

Listening to the voice, it felt like he was about to vomit to death.

Xiao Ran pressed the mask on his nose, indeed, it was too disgusting......
