Chapter 31, Floating Corpses on the Sea

At dawn, the sea surface is dark blue, the place where the sea level and the sky meet appears fish belly white, and suddenly ten thousand golden rays of light sprinkle onto the blue sea and blue sky, dyeing the sea surface gorgeous, sparkling, but shrouded in a sad artistic conception.

As usual, the Chen father and son drove the fishing boat out to sea to catch fish.

After sailing more than 10 nautical miles in the direction of Binjiang New Area, they began to fish, and when it was about to dawn, Xiao Chen, who was standing in front of the deck of the fishing boat, began to collect fishing nets. With the feeling of collecting the nets for many years, he always felt that it was a lot of effort today, as if something large had been caught in the fishing net.

If it's a big fish, it should be able to move, right?" Xiao Chen began to mumble in his heart.

As the nets drew closer, he began to lose his eyes...... He suspected that there was a dead man floating in the net, so he carefully closed the net, and put it away, and the more he looked at it, the more it looked, and when he looked closer, he saw that it was really a dead man.

Xiao Chen was so frightened that he threw down the fishing net and ran towards his father, shouting as he ran, "Dad, there is a corpse!"

"Don't be afraid, Dad is here. Chen's father comforted his son while pulling fishing nets, and he was mentally prepared in his 60s, but he was really taken aback.

There was a corpse in the fishing net, and Chen's father swallowed a mouthful of saliva and tried to pull it onto the fishing boat, but after several attempts, it was too heavy and unsuccessful. Courageous, he bent down and hugged the "sea drifting corpse", which was a male corpse.

After a brief panic, Chen's father regained his composure and immediately called the police. Now that the body has been found, it should be brought back, whether they know it or not.

After making the call, they stopped fishing, turned around and returned home, and more than an hour later, docked at the beach in the Binhai New Area.

On the shore, the Binhai New Area Police Station has sent people to wait on the shore.

Li Wei half-squatted, took out two latex gloves from his pocket, and slowly put them on.

Zhang Hua pinched his waist and stood two meters away with a gloomy face, a big square face as if it had been hard-polished by sandpaper, and there was no expression on his face, even if he used a knife on his neck, his face would not be much uglier than now.

The deceased was lying on the concrete floor, his whole body swollen and face down.

Li Wei grabbed the deceased's face and turned it slightly, facing him.

The face was hideous, with mushroom-like foam on the muzzle and nose, and blue lips. It was as if that face was not dead, as if it could open its eyes at any moment and smile at him insidiously. The more he looked at this face, the more familiar it became, and Li Wei retracted his hand like an electric shock.

He moved as if he was frightened, and gasped, "I know this deceased, his name is Zhong Le, and he has a criminal record. ”

"What crime did he commit, and how did you know him?" Zhang Hua asked.

"He tried to molest my high school classmate, attempted rape, and was sentenced to three years. ”

"What a coincidence. Zhang Hua couldn't help but gossip, "Your classmate is very beautiful." ”

"School flower, you said that drifting is not beautiful. ”

Li Wei examined the corpses from head to toe, from the outside to the inside, in order.

"When did the deceased die?" Zhang Hua asked.

"The skin of the deceased's hands and feet, especially the palmoplantar part, was wrinkled, pale and macerated. This condition begins to occur a few hours after entering the water, so it is estimated that the time of death is no more than 10 hours. The exact estimate should have been ...... last night Between 10 and 12 o'clock. ”

"Hmm. Zhang Hua nodded, his gaze moving downward, looking at the corpse.

After thinking for a while, Li Wei said, "The deceased is in good clothes and has no obvious external injuries on his body, where did the body come from? Was he killed, committed suicide, or accidentally fell into the water and died? ”

Zhang Hua knocked his head, "Bring the body back first, since you can confirm the identity of the deceased, it will be easy to do it, and check around his work unit and family one by one." There are also his call logs, to see who he usually interacts with, and the whereabouts of the deceased last night. ”

The policemen who cooperated in handling the case next to him nodded their heads and carefully recorded them in a notepad. Others were busy taking pictures and collecting evidence.

The forensic office, at the bottom of the straight corridor, is divided into five rooms: the autopsy room, the X-ray room, the laboratory, the storage room, and the mortuary, with no windows and a complete reliance on the white incandescent lamps for lighting.

The forensic room is spacious, breathtakingly clean, and the smell of disinfectant water is always in the air.

The medical examiner told Zhang Hua and Li Wei that the internal organs of the deceased were intact, there were no traces of poisoning and external damage, and there were no obvious mechanical injuries on the body surface.

"Then what was the cause of his death?" Zhang Hua looked down at the male corpse on the corpse platform.

The forensic doctor explained unhurriedly, "Through the examination and autopsy of the deceased's body, the possibility of death by violent mechanical injury, death by mechanical asphyxiation, and death by common poisons is ruled out, and the conclusion of possible death by drowning before death is favored." ”

Zhang Hua pondered for a moment and put forward a hypothesis, "Could it be that the murderer gave the deceased sleeping pills in advance, making him lose the ability to resist." ”

The medical examiner in charge of the autopsy said, "We have just conducted a toxicology test and found that the deceased did not take any other drugs except Viagra. ”

"Viagra?!" Zhang Hua stared at the doctor, as if seeking affirmation.

"It's Viagra, the kind that is common on the market. ”

Li Wei said, "The deceased held a birthday party on the yacht on the night of his death, and he took his female companion on the yacht that night. According to eyewitnesses, the woman was hot and tastefully dressed, wearing large sunglasses, heavy makeup on her face, and was about 25 years old. ”

"Wearing sunglasses?"

"Yes, it is estimated that the murderer is deliberately hiding his appearance. ”

Zhang Hua pondered for a moment and asked, "But how can she, a weak woman, throw a big man into the sea alive." ”

"Could it be an accomplice?"

"Did you get the surveillance footage from the yacht?"

Li Wei said regretfully, "From 10 p.m. to 12 p.m., the surveillance video files of the entire ferry were stolen. ”

Zhang Hua was stunned, "This is definitely a murder case." ”

Li Wei then spoke, "After investigation and visits, the deceased had a conflict with someone a month before the incident. He was drinking in a bar, and when he saw Tang Xueshan drinking alone in a bar, he forcibly dragged her to an abandoned factory in an attempt to molest her. Tang Xueshan's ex-boyfriend Jiang Yimo appeared in time to save her, and also had a fight with Zhong Le and his gang. ”

Zhang Hua was puzzled, "What is the entanglement between this Zhong Le and Tang Xueshan?"

"Zhong Le's father was a loan shark, and Tang Xueshan's father borrowed money from the deceased's father because the restaurant business needed capital turnover. Zhong Le's father came to the door to force debts and tried to molest Tang Xueshan's mother. In order to protect his wife, Tang Xueshan's father stabbed Zhong Le's father to death with a fruit knife. Tang Xueshan's father was sentenced to five years in prison for excessive self-defense, and the deceased was dissatisfied with the outcome of the trial and wanted revenge on Tang Xueshan. Zhong Le kidnapped her and took her to an abandoned chicken farm, where he and several companions tried to molest her. Tang Xueshan's family called the police, and the police arrested Zhong Le and his gang, and Zhong Le was sentenced to three years for attempted rape. Tang Xueshan came back from studying in Japan last year, and Zhong Le went to trouble her three or four times. ”

Zhang Hua touched his chin and fell into deep thought, and after a long time, he said, "According to this, Tang Xueshan is the most motivated to kill, and Tang Xueshan will be brought to the bureau for questioning immediately." ”

When the police found Tang Xueshan, she knew that Zhong Le was dead, she seemed very surprised, opened her eyes and took a deep breath, and then exhaled with her eyes closed. As if to soothe the beating of her heart, she clutched her chest, her face paler than ever.
