The reservoir police station in Lingyu County, a state city, is a small police station with a little-known name, and there is not a single village in the jurisdiction, and there are no permanent residents to manage, because there are no villages and residents, so the reservoir police station does not receive a few police calls throughout the year.

The office building of the reservoir police station is located at the entrance of the reservoir dam, is a two-story building, and there are currently a total of five police officers in the station, namely director Chen Qingzao, instructor He Yuwan, deputy director Zhao San, sergeant Shi Yanhuo of the first police office of the South Gate Police District, and Liu Xia, a temporary worker who has just been recruited.

Liu Xia, male, from Ertunzi Village, Shiya Town, Lingyu County, Zhou City, his appearance is average, his family background is not good, his life experience is very ordinary, there is no outstanding point except for the waist disc, Liu Xia just turned 22 years old this year, height 178, weight 198, and grades ranked 98th among the 98 students in the class.

Because he didn't find a suitable job after graduation, Liu Xia planned to find a temporary job to do it first, and when it was time for the career preparation exam, he took the exam again, and then took the exam, and at that time he drew a circle from the Internet, and happened to see the reservoir police station recruiting auxiliary police, and saw that this work was very clean, so he came to the reservoir police station and became an auxiliary police officer from here.

When Liu Xia came to work at the reservoir police station on the first day, when he saw the staffing of the station, he was speechless, good guy, there are a total of five people in the police station, and it turns out that four of them are officials, and only he is a soldier.

Especially after reading the names of the four old policemen, Liu Xia was even more speechless in his heart, Chen Qingzao, He Yuwan, Zhao San, Shi Yanhuo, the last word of the four names is Zao, Anhui, San, and Huo, which clearly indicates that the reservoir police station "will break up sooner or later." ”

Although the area under the jurisdiction of the reservoir police station is not large, the task is not light, and the five of them are responsible for the safety of the entire reservoir, which has a total area of 9.8 square kilometers.

At that time, when the reservoir was built, there were 26 villages involved in the land occupation alone, and in order to avoid the demolition of the villages, the design plane of the reservoir was shaped like a piece of ingots, so that the trouble of demolishing the villages was avoided, and the ornamental value of the reservoir was increased.

The reservoir has a water storage area of 12 square kilometers, the maximum design depth is 13 meters, the total reservoir capacity is 80 million cubic meters, in addition to the dam entrance in the middle, there is a gate on both sides, the north gate is because of the terrain, so there is no need to be guarded, but the south gate is different, there are people going there to play in the water all day.

Although there are signs around the reservoir prohibiting people from approaching the reservoir, villagers from nearby villages have been sneaking into the reservoir to steal fish or swimming, and many villagers have drowned in the reservoir while stealing fish or swimming.

In order to prevent similar things from happening again, and also to prevent the reservoir from being damaged, the county bureau decided to get rid of some comrades who were not doing the right thing----- cough cough ----- slip of the tongue---- the county bureau decided to transfer capable police forces to set up a reservoir police station.

Chen Qingzao's four people were selected by the county bureau after thousands of selections. Their job is to keep the reservoir safe, to persuade nearby villagers to leave, and to publicize and educate people about drowning prevention

Although the police station went to the village every day to popularize the law, there were still villagers who sneaked into the vicinity of the reservoir to swim or steal fish.

In order to ensure the safety of the reservoir and the masses, Liu Xia and the five of them all went to work during the day and took turns to keep people on night duty at night.

However, because of the shortage of manpower, there is only one person on the night shift every night, and only one building such as an office building stands on the reservoir in the dark night, and there is nothing around it.

At one o'clock in the morning, when people were sleeping sweetly, in the hall of the police station office building, there was a strange sound of "pop, pop, pop, pop" from time to time.

With the appearance of strange sounds, a dim light suddenly lit up, but it was not long before the light went out on its own, and the surroundings were immediately plunged into darkness.

A few minutes later, the strange voice sounded again, and after that, a room next to the hall suddenly lit up, but then the lights went out of their own accord, and the surroundings fell into darkness again.

The wind outside the building whistled and blew, and the flickering lights were very strange, and after a few breaths, the strange sound sounded again, and after the lights were on, I saw a vague figure, slowly rising from the room like green smoke.

With a soft sound of "squeak", the door was slowly pushed open, and a figure walked out of the room lightly, it was a young man wearing flower pants, full of haze, and unkempt hair, this was Liu Xia on duty tonight.

After walking to the hall on the first floor, Liu Xia looked back at the room just now, scratched his head, and then complained to himself: "Everything in this police station is good, but the toilet is not good, and I don't know which grandson installed a voice-activated light in the toilet? ”

Just as Liu Xia was muttering with an unhappy face, suddenly, the light in front of the door of the duty hall flashed, and then, the light went out instantly, and in addition, the street lights at the door and the street lights around the dam were all turned off.

"It's strange? Why is there a power outage at this time? Even the street lights around the dam have been stopped, is it because of the maintenance of the lines? There is such a large-scale power outage, and the power supply station has not been notified in advance. With a whisper, Liu Xia held up his mobile phone and took advantage of the light of the screen to go back to the dormitory on the second floor.

But just when he was about to turn around, he suddenly heard a sound of footsteps outside, and then, a staggering figure ran into the police station, and after seeing Liu Xia, the man ran straight towards the duty hall.

To tell the truth, in the middle of the morning, when I suddenly saw a dark figure, the auxiliary police were actually scared.

Seeing that the person actually ran straight towards him, Liu Xia's heart tightened, seeing that the person was getting closer and closer, worried that the other party would be unfavorable to him, Liu Xia didn't stop doing anything, and actually locked the glass door of the office building of the police station from the inside.

Liu Xia's actions have blinded the visitors, he has been to many police stations, and has never seen the policeman who locked the crowd out of the door, the person outside the door was stunned for a moment, and observed the surroundings of the office building with some uncertainty: "Am I coming to the wrong place? Is this not the police station?"

After looking around suspiciously, seeing the police badge above the door, the police car in the yard, and the police station sign on the sign, the man was sure that he was not looking for the wrong place, looking at the cautious expression on Liu Xia's face, he panted and said, "Open the ------ open the door." ”

"Who are you, what are you doing?"

While speaking, Liu Xia looked at the other party carefully, and saw that it was a man in his fifties, the other party had a pockmarked face, an ordinary appearance, wearing an ordinary gray shirt, the clothes were a little shabby, and his pants were stained with some mud, it seemed that he should be a resident of a nearby village.

"My name is Dong Fugui, I am from Dongzhuang Village, Chenguan Township next door, I came to report the case, my son disappeared when he came to the reservoir to fish, the family looked for him for a day and did not find him, and no one answered his call.

Just now I brought my relatives to the reservoir to look for him, but I found his clothes and shoes from the south gate of the reservoir, comrade police officer, please help find my son, he may have drowned in the reservoir and had an accident, please help me. ”

Hearing that there was a suspected murder in the police, Liu Xia's heart tightened, he was just an auxiliary policeman and did not dare to interfere in the murder, so he immediately called the director Chen Qingzao and reported Dong Fugui's situation.

While waiting for Chen Qingzao and the criminal police team to come to the scene, Liu Xia followed Dong Fugui to the direction of the South Gate, while asking for specific details, through Dong Fugui's narration, Liu Xia gradually had some understanding of the case.

It turned out that this afternoon, Dong Fugui's son Dong Luyou left the house in a stroll, at first Dong Fugui and his wife didn't care, but when it came to dinner in the evening, Dong Luyou hadn't gone home yet, at this time, Dong Fugui and his wife began to be anxious.

The couple wondered if Dong Luyou would go to a relative's house to play? So they called their relatives and friends one by one, but the relatives all said that they had never seen Dong Luyou.

Everyone searched all the surrounding villages, but they didn't find Dong Luyou, just when everyone was at a loss, Dong Fugui's nephew Dong Lufu said: "Luyou usually likes to swim, will he go to the reservoir?"

After listening to Dong Lufu's words, everyone hurried to the reservoir, Chenguan Township and the reservoir are the junction of the place, about more than ten miles, Dong Lufu finished speaking, everyone came to the reservoir by car, after getting off the car, everyone began to look for people around the reservoir.

Just now, Dong Fugui's brother Dong Fucai found Dong Luyou's clothes, shoes, and the old folding bicycle he usually rode near the south gate, and everyone searched for the location of the clothes, but they couldn't find anything.

……

When Liu Xia followed Dong Fugui to the scene, Chen Qingzao, Chen Qingzao, He Yuwan, Zhao San, and Shi Yanhuo led the criminal police team and the fire brigade of the county bureau to the scene of the crime.

After listening to Liu Xia's brief report on the case, the people at the scene were divided into three ways, the fire brigade drove the salvage boat of the reservoir to search the water surface, the people of the criminal police team investigated the scene, and Chen Qingzao, Liu Xia and others were responsible for maintaining order at the scene.

Half an hour later, I only heard the firefighters on the boat shouting, "I got it," and then they used a net to salvage a naked male corpse from the water, Dong Fugui and his wife looked at the corpse, and then, the couple immediately cried bitterly.

After the body was transported to the shore, the forensic doctor of the criminal police team immediately came forward to examine the deceased's body was swollen, there was no external injury, no external pressure, his face was pale, his eyes were congested, his nasal mucosa was damaged, black mud was inhaled in his nostrils, there was no foreign body in his mouth, his tonsils were swollen, his eardrum was slightly bleeding, and after preliminary identification, he died of drowning and suffocation, ruling out the possibility of homicide.

After informing Dong Fugui and his wife of the appraisal results, Lu Yan, the deputy captain of the criminal police team, carefully observed the corpse, investigated some details around the scene, and then asked Dong Fugui if he had any objections to the cause of Dong Luyou's death? Since Dong Luyou died of drowning and suffocation, it was an accident.

If Dong Fugui has no objection, he can transport the body home for burial. If Dong Fugui has any objection to Dong Luyou's death, then the criminal police team will take the body away for autopsy, and after the forensic doctor conducts an autopsy on the body, they will inform the autopsy results.

Rural people attach great importance to corpses, pay attention to the safety of entering the earth, when they heard the words "autopsy", Dong Fugui refused without thinking about it, since the police have been characterized as an accident, then he has no objection to his son's death.

After speaking, Dong Fugui walked to his son's clothes left on the shore, instructed the people around him a few words, and then wrapped his son's body and transported it away, while the fire brigade and criminal police team on the side were also ready to call it a day.

Liu Xia had been silently observing everything here from the beginning, and seeing that Dong Fugui was going to transport his son's body home for burial at this time, he couldn't help but say loudly: "Uncle Dong, your son's ----- should have been murdered." ”
