It was less than 5 a.m., drizzling and dark.

Li Yiting and Wan Yongkun were sleeping soundly at the Juyou Inn.

The mobile phone rang twice before Li Yiting woke up, and he had relaxed his vigilance a little in the past few days.

It was Xu Jingnan's call.

The other end of the phone was a little nervous, and even a little incoherent, and it took a long time for Li Yiting to understand what was going on - a floating corpse was found in the fish pond of the Zhongnan Branch!

The sleepy-eyed Li Yiting still asked cautiously: "Are you sure it's a human corpse?"

Xu Jingnan said that it should be right, and the two hurriedly put on their clothes and rushed to the small courtyard of the research institute.

Xu Jingnan didn't expect his first forensic experience to be like this.

Two cooks from the research institute reported to the police station early in the morning, saying that when they got up to cook this morning, they vaguely found a black unknown object in the middle of the fish pond.

At that time, the lights were dim, only the light of the semi-open house and a small light in front of the open space of the bungalow, so it could not illuminate the whole fish pond well.

The two cooks were bold enough to go closer to observe, and soon after making sure, they called 110 and 120 at the same time.

Today happened to be Xu Jingnan on duty, and when he heard the news conveyed by the 110 police station, he immediately called Li Yiting first and then reported to the director, there has really been no murder in Boone Village in recent years, so Xu Jingyuan sent the police force to the Zhongnan branch as soon as possible, to be honest, everyone was a little nervous.

When they arrived at the branch, it was already 5:27 in the morning, and it took them nearly half an hour to travel this way, and Li Yiting and they had not yet arrived.

It is difficult to salvage the unknown object, mainly because the cement wall around the fish pond is too steep, and the water in the fish pond is relatively deep.

Such a big movement, the people in the bungalow also heard the noise and came out, this is three or four men in pajamas and a beautiful woman with a pale face, she is the same young woman that Li Yiting inadvertently took a photo of last time.

The edge of the fish pond is still dim, everyone can only use a few flashlights to strengthen the lighting, and wait until the unknown object is salvaged ashore, the sky is just the darkest hour before dawn, a large group of people around the salvaged object no one speaks, only a few salvaged policemen sit on the ground and keep panting.

Finally, someone exclaimed, "Isn't this the technician Meng Biao?"

Xu Jingnan held back the panic in his heart, and never dared to go to the front, after all, he was just a trainee forensic doctor, and the first thing he thought of in the murder case office could not be himself, but now that he heard this, he still squeezed into the crowd, and he shone a flashlight on the objects on the ground.

A bloated body, closed eyes, a round face, and a rather striking boil in the middle of his forehead.

Who else is this Meng Biao?

Meng Biao obviously stopped breathing, but at this time his posture was not abnormal, it should have just fallen into the water, as a forensic doctor, Xu Jingnan also had to do some first aid work according to the procedure, everyone watched him start to carry out water control, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, artificial respiration and other actions, and did not make a sound, perhaps at this time his colleagues remembered that there was also a forensic doctor in the office.

Xu Jingnan was actually frightened when he touched the cold body, but he quickly got used to it, after all, he had come into contact with corpses in school and had performed similar first aid, and at this time it was just a field drill, and no one could help. After years of study, he soon entered a relatively stable state, and once he began to operate in a stylized manner, he seemed to be much calmer.

About half an hour later, Xu Jingnan raised his hand to wipe the sweat beads on his forehead with his sleeve, and shook his head at the director, indicating that there was nothing he could do.

At this time, the sky was already bright, Li Yiting and Wan Yongkun also rushed to the scene, they still had a lot of words at the door, after all, entering the small courtyard in the middle of the night and being led by Xu Jingyuan during the day were somewhat different, fortunately, Li Yiting's police officer card had not been discarded, and it played a role at the critical moment.

The ambulance has also arrived, it is too far from the city, the ambulance ran for more than an hour to come to the scene, and there was no way to drive in directly, a doctor in a white coat and two nurses had to carry a stretcher and hurriedly trot over from the fish pond, and after emergency oxygen inhalation, they began to perform actions similar to Xu Jingnan, and finally came to the same conclusion as Xu Jingnan.

The 120-year-old doctor took out an emergency record sheet with no expression, and he had seen a lot of dead people. Walking calmly and quickly towards Liu Yi, who looked gloomy, according to the usual practice, patients are not allowed to be carried into the ambulance and taken to the hospital until they stop breathing and their vital signs disappear before getting into the ambulance.

The record sheet is just a procedure, one is to announce the effect of first aid, and the other is that someone needs to bear the cost of leaving the car.

Liu Yi's lips trembled a little, and he said after a long time: "Are you sure you can't save it?" He still had a trace of fantasy.

The doctor shook his head and handed over the notebook: "You have seen it too, we have done our best. ”

Liu Yi took it with a trembling hand, and signed a twisted word on it with great effort, he was thinking a lot in his heart now, why did this Meng Biao have an accident, how could he explain it to Secretary Tang?

"Is it clear what caused the death?" Liu Yi finally regained his composure.

The doctor still shook his head: "This is not our duty, we are only responsible for saving people, and solving cases is the job of the police." He thought about it for a moment and seemed to feel a little relieved that he didn't save the living, and added, "On the surface, it should have drowned." ”

For ordinary people, this probably means falling into the water and drowning accidentally, which is how Liu Yi understands it, but for the criminal investigation profession, there are still many possibilities, including murder cannot be ruled out, Xu Jingnan and Li Yiting think so.

Xu Jingyuan unexpectedly took it for granted, he was also sweating profusely when he stood next to him, it stands to reason that he was tested for his background, not so superficial, but he actually said: "It was so dark last night, and it rained and the road was slippery, it was still very possible to fall into the water and drown." ”

Xu Jingnan wanted to express a few words of his opinion, but Xu Jingyuan had already continued: "Mr. Liu, what do you think we should do now?"

Liu Yi didn't have an idea in his heart, but the doctor said enthusiastically beside him: "I think you better take the body to the funeral home first, and then pour it down for him." After saying that, he beckoned the two nurses to pack up their things and go back.

Li Yiting hurriedly walked over and said to Xu Jingyuan: "Old Xu, why don't you take pictures of the crime scene according to the process and collect evidence." ”

Xu Jingyuan came to his senses and nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes." He called a few of his subordinates to simply pull up the cordon, and arranged the others outside the cordon, but left Li Yiting and Wan Yongkun behind, and then several policemen spent about ten minutes to conduct preliminary evidence collection and data recording of the body and the surrounding environment.

It's not a long time, the scene is not complicated after all, and there is not much to check.

When they were done, it was not yet time for breakfast, so there were not many people coming from the dormitory building, Liu Yi hurriedly arranged a pickup truck, and the police station provided a white cannon suit to load the body and put it in the car, the driver did not dare to stop, and went directly to the funeral home, and the escort was Xu Jingnan and another policeman.

Leaving a group of people staring at each other, not knowing what to do next, Li Yiting said to Liu Yi: "Mr. Liu, if you don't disperse first, the rest will be taken over by the police, and I will stay to see if there are any new discoveries." He thought of one more thing and reminded: "Do you want to call Secretary Tang?" or inform Meng Biao's family. ”

Liu Yi was a little at a loss, there had never been such a thing during his tenure, and when he heard the reminder, he hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, I will report to Secretary Tang first, and then ask the personnel department to notify Meng Biao's relatives." ”

Later, under his command, the crowd gathered around the pond finally left one after another, and the four men and one woman in the bungalow also hurried back to the house, but their eyes were looking out; Li Yiting did not leave immediately, although the police had already gone through the process, but they could only say that they were in a hurry, and they had to re-investigate the scene.

Liu Yi didn't leave, he looked at the "Director Li" who was looking around hesitantly, and wondered: "Director Li, is there still any doubt about Xiao Meng?"

Li Yiting sighed, and then shook his head: "The situation is basically clear, but for the sake of prudence, we have to investigate carefully." You don't have to stay with us. ”

"That's fine. I'll let Director Qi stay. Seeing Li Yiting nodding, he left the director of the security office named Qi Zhixuan at the scene and went back to arrange the aftermath by himself.

Li Yiting looked at his departing back thoughtfully, and only started his work after a while.

Wan Yongkun followed.
