Chapter 1057: Floating Corpse

The sun is shining, and the blue sea is rippling with layers of ripples under the breeze.

Children in twos and threes, barefoot, run and frolic on the shore. Their laughter mingles with the sound of the waves, like the most beautiful notes on this gorgeous piece of early autumn.

This is a public beach at the foot of Baling Mountain, and because of its free and open characteristics, it often attracts locals to play together. But after all, it is already autumn, and the number of tourists is much smaller than before, and the entire beach is only a few dozen people as far as the eye can see.

"Maomao, be careful, you are not allowed to go into the water, do you know?" the young father raised his upper body from the folding bed and shouted at the small figure not far away.

"Got it. The little boy, known as Mao Mao, answered obediently, and his two little hands held the swimming ring around his waist, and his feet stepped on the sun-soaked sand, and walked along the seashore.

Mao Mao is seven years old, with a shaved head and a small handful of yellow hair on the back of his head, about the length of a finger, which is tied into a small braid. The little guy has always been quite troubled by his hairstyle, just because when he was at school, the tall and strong old man who sat in the last row liked to grab his pigtails and shake them, and it hurt a lot.

"How cute. Mother always held his white and tender little face and said this, and she didn't understand the child's mind at all.

Mao Mao is still young, and he is not old enough to dare to oppose his parents, so he doesn't dare to talk about school.

As he walked, he turned his head to look at where his parents were basking in the sun, and they were already some distance away. He stood there for a moment, then climbed onto the huge black reef on the beach.

The surface of the stone is full of holes and pits, and in the eyes of children, it is a place of adventure that hides countless secrets.

Although Mao Mao is not very old, he is very flexible with his hands and feet. He quickly climbed to the top of the reef, crouched down and looked under the rocks near the sea, and then froze.

"Old Song!

"Huh?" the young father opened his eyes and looked at his wife beside him impatiently, "What are you doing?"

"What are you looking at Maomao?"

Following his wife's gaze, Lao Song couldn't help but pout: "What can you do, a little child, play." ”

"You go and look at it. ”

"I don't need it. Old Song muttered, "He didn't go to the sea, what danger can he have." ”

"Tsk, are you going?" the wife sat up from the folding bed and glared at her husband angrily, "My son is standing so high, what if he falls?"

"Don't be fierce, I can't go?" Old Song got up from the bed lazily and walked towards the reef leisurely.

"Little brat, what are you doing running so far. Old Song muttered and walked closer to the reef.

He stopped, crossed his hands on his hips, and tore out his throat and shouted, "Mao Mao!

"Maomao!" Lao Song shouted again, and his tone began to be a little annoyed, "Little rabbit cub, you come down for me!"

"Hey, hey, hey, hey. Old Song snorted, and strode over again, until he came to the bottom of the reef, staring at his son's small back.

"Maomao, Maomao?"

Lao Song screamed twice, and Mao Mao woke up like a dream, and suddenly came back to his senses. He looked over his little head and stared straight at Lao Song, his face was a little wrong.

Blinking, Lao Song tilted his head, pouted and asked, "Son, what are you looking at? It's almost down, your mother won't let you stand so high." ”

"Dad. Maomao stood up, and the swimming ring on her waist fell to her feet with a click.

"Why are you so stunned, I'll let you come down. Lao Song paused slightly, and then shouted again, "Okay, okay, you stand there, don't move, Dad will go up to pick you up." ”

When Lao Song's words fell, he climbed the stone at hand and climbed up.

"Dad. Mao Mao screamed again, stretched out his little hand and pointed to the sea under the reef, "There is an aunt floating on the water..."

"Uh..." Old Song raised his head to look at Mao Mao suddenly, with a stunned expression, "What?"

...

Gangbei City Police Station.

Ma Baoshan walked out of the deputy director's office quickly, put his hat on his head, and said in a deep voice: "Introduce the situation." ”

The female police officer, who was half a body away from Ma Baoshan, hurriedly opened the record book, and her voice was crisp: "The time when the body was found was an hour and a half ago, the location was on the public beach at the foot of Baling Mountain, and the informant was a man surnamed Song, 35 years old, who owned a car repair shop. According to the information provided by him, the whole family was playing on the beach at the time, and the body was accidentally found by his seven-year-old son while playing. There were also dozens of people at the scene, the vast majority of whom can confirm this. ”

Ma Baoshan nodded slightly: "Introduce the situation of the deceased." ”

"The deceased was a woman, aged between 28 and 35, who was found headfirst down in the sea under the reef. The clothes on her body are new to this year's fashion week, which is worth a lot of money, and her social status should be very high. However, no jewelry was found, and the possibility that the murderer committed the crime for money cannot be ruled out at present. ”

Turning his head, Ma Baoshan stared at the female police officer beside him in surprise: "Who analyzed this?"

The female police officer was a little embarrassed and lifted the frame of her glasses: "Ma Bureau, women, you have to be more careful when you look at this kind of thing, you men won't understand..."

The corner of Ma Baoshan's mouth tugged slightly: "Is there anything else?"

"Oh. The female police officer came back to her senses and hurriedly replied, "The deceased had blue and purple strangulation marks under his neck, died of suffocation, and his body was not violated." The medical examiner preliminarily concluded that the time of death had exceeded 48 hours, and other specific contents had to wait for the results of the autopsy. ”

"Don't you have any papers, wallets or anything like that?"

"Nope. The female officer paused slightly, "But the Wang team found a small detail. ”

"What?"

"There was a strand of hair missing from the occipital area of the back of the victim's head, which should have been cut with a sharp instrument such as scissors. ”

"Hair?" Ma Baoshan frowned, his face a little weird.

"Horse Bureau!

Suddenly there was a shout behind him, Ma Baoshan hurriedly paused, turned around and stared at the police officer running from the end of the corridor, "What's the matter?"

"The Lingang Inspectorate's letter of transfer!

"Do you want to transfer the case again?" Ma Baoshan pursed his lips impatiently, and stretched out his hand to receive the investigation order, "What case are they going to transfer?"

The police officer ran to Ma Baoshan, took a hard breath, and at the same time handed over the investigation order with both hands: "Baling Mountain floating corpse case." ”

Ma Baoshan's hand that was just stretched out stiffened, and he immediately stared at him in astonishment: "So fast?"

Taking the paper letter, Ma Baoshan lowered his head and glanced at it gently: "The response of the Inspectorate is fast enough." ”

"Isn't it? The female police officer interjected, "The victim's body hasn't been brought back to the forensic department yet." ”

The police officer next to him handed over the signature pen: "Horse Bureau, you sign it, the inspectorate is in a hurry, I have to go through the formalities." ”

Ma Baoshan stared at the police officer in surprise: "Your head is rusty? The inspectorate wants to get the director to sign the case, you have to go to Director Qi Kuanqi, what are you looking for me?"

"Director Qi didn't come today. The police officer said urgently, "I have already called him just now, and the phone has been turned off, so I can only come to the deputy chief to sign." ”

"Didn't come?" Ma Baoshan muttered something in a low voice, took the signature pen from the policeman's hand, and signed his name, "Sort out the information and hand it over to the Lingang Supervision Department." Don't pull the corpses back, let them divert to the Inspectorate halfway. ”

"Yes. ”

"After a toss in vain, there is no case again. Ma Baoshan stretched out his hand to wipe his forehead, turned around and walked back.

Since the last time he had a stalemate, Ma Baoshan tried to avoid meeting with Qi Kuan, so he didn't even know that Qi Kuan didn't come to work.

"What are you doing..."Ma Baoshan couldn't help but say to himself, "It's getting more and more abnormal recently." ”

Ma Baoshan pushed open the door of the deputy director's office, and was about to walk in when he suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from the corridor.

He glanced out with his head and saw Qi Kuan striding from the other side of the corridor.

"I'm back..."Ma Baoshan shrank his neck and hurriedly hid in the office, looking through the probe hole in the door and looking into the corridor.

"Qi Bureau!" The police officer who was looking for Ma Baoshan to sign before caught up with Qi Kuan, "The Lingang Supervision Office is going to investigate the case, I just saw that you were not there, and I turned off the phone again, so I asked the Ma Bureau to sign." ”

"Hmm. Qi Kuan looked preoccupied, responded casually, and continued to walk forward.

"Qi Bureau, then I'll get busy first. After greeting him, the officer turned and hurried away.

At this time, Qi Kuan suddenly stopped, turned his head and asked, "What case does the Inspectorate want to transfer?"

"Ah, about an hour and a half ago, a floating corpse was found on the public beach at the foot of Baling Mountain. The deceased was a woman and has not yet been identified. The officer replied casually after being slightly stunned.

Qi Kuan's body trembled violently, and his face immediately changed suddenly. He froze in place, cold sweat streaming down his forehead.

Seeing Qi Kuan's appearance, the police officer couldn't help but be stunned, and he cautiously shouted: "Qi Bureau, Qi Bureau?"

Qi Kuan didn't react at all, his eyes stared straight at the wall beside him, without blinking.

The officer took two more steps closer: "Qi Bureau, are you alright?"

"Ahh Qi Kuan came back to his senses abruptly and stretched out his hand to the officer, "Investigation order." ”

"Oh, here. ”

The police officer hurriedly pulled out the case transfer order and handed it over with both hands, Qi Kuan glanced at it coldly: "This does not comply with the procedure, and the case cannot be transferred." ”

The officer's face turned green in an instant: "Qi Bureau, this is the Inspector's Office..."

"The case must be signed by the director, what do you mean by asking Ma Baoshan to sign?"

"Then I'll reopen a new one, can you please sign it?"

"I don't have time. Qi Kuan turned his head and stared fiercely at the deputy director's office, then turned to leave.
