Chapter 3 Bridges

He Ning looked in the direction of his finger, there was nothing special in front of him, just the bridge across both sides of the river, He Ning also followed Fang Yuan here to take a walk when he rested before, and crossed the bridge by himself, there is a park on the other side of the river, the environment is very good, although there are no amusement facilities, it is better than the natural environment, the trees and flowers are lush, so that He Ning has a good impression. Pen~Fun~Ge www.biquge.info The scene just now is still a short distance from the bridge, and He Ning is not from City A, so he is not particularly familiar with the environment here, so he didn't realize that the bridge was nearby.

But after a moment of surprise, she immediately realized why Tonic pointed to herself to show the bridge: "Do you think that the box containing the corpse should have been thrown from the bridge?"

Tonic nodded: "The box is in the middle of the water, this is the river and not the sea, it can only be washed down from the upstream, and it is impossible to be swept from the shore to the middle." ”

He Ning nodded: "Then let's go up to the bridge and take a look!" Such a big box, there is also an adult man in it, according to the judgment of Forensic Doctor Liu, it is still the type of body that is relatively fat, and it is not so easy to push it down from the bridge, unless there is a helper, there is more than one person who does this, and it is impossible for a person to have the strength to lift the box over the railing of the bridge and throw it down. ”

Tonic has no objection to this, let alone an ordinary person, even if he is a person like him who has good exercise habits on weekdays and is already relatively good in physical strength, it is not so easy to carry such a large suitcase with an adult in it on his own.

Two people walked quickly to the side of the bridge and got on the bridge, one was responsible for the left, the other was responsible for the right, carefully checked the railing on the bridge to see if there were any special traces, there were many pedestrians walking on the bridge, many of them were standing next to the railing of the bridge and watching the excitement in the direction of salvaging the box, because He Ning and Tang Li were dressed in civilian clothes, no one found out that the two of them were policemen, and they saw that the two of them had been walking along the railing, and they looked very carefully, only when they had lost something and were looking for it, of course, there were also people who were curious about what they were doing, and their eyes had been chasing them, trying to find the answer。 He Ning and Tang Li tried to keep a low profile, so as not to be discovered by the onlookers about their identities and true purposes, and if they didn't do well, some people would be nervous, or speculate wildly, bringing some rumors.

He Ning and Tang Li looked separately for a while, He Ning first found a place with a gap in the guardrail, so he beckoned Tang Li to go over to check, Tang Li hurriedly went over to check, and found that the fence in the place that He Ning pointed out was missing two, leaving a gap, and the two fences on both sides of the gap were also artificially pulled to both sides, forming two arcs, making the gap wider, He Ning squatted down, compared sideways, and found that with her size, she could get out of the gap sideways. This is also where she feels strange, if such a big fence gap appears on the courtyard wall, He Ning will definitely not feel strange, after all, there are always many people who want to take shortcuts, but it is very strange to appear on the bridge, who would want to get out of the bridge fence in a normal person? Even for those who really can't figure it out, it's probably easier to climb over the fence than to widen the gap, so her first instinct is that someone will take advantage of the gap that is already missing the fence, and then widen it appropriately, so that something that is slightly wider than the original gap can be pushed out of the gap, and that "something" is most likely the suitcase containing the corpse that they have just checked.

Tonic crouched down, took out a small tape measure from his pocket, measured the width of the gap, and took out the small notepad he had with him to write it down.

The person who had been curious about the two of them's actions saw Tonic Li's move, and suddenly realized, and whispered to his companion: "Oh, it must be someone from the municipal government, see that the bridge railing is broken and ready to arrange repairs!"

He Ning's ears were bright, and she almost laughed when she heard it, but fortunately she held back in time, she secretly sighed in her heart how strong people's association ability is, and at the same time felt that such a misunderstanding was also very good, at least it would not cause any panic. Of course, what surprised her even more was the portable tape measure that Tonic took out casually.

"Why do you still have these things with you?" asked Tang Ning curiously.

Tonic put away the small notepad he had with him and replied, "Be prepared." ”

Very good, such a speech is really in line with Tonic Li's personality, He Ning sighed a little helplessly, only when it comes to topics related to the case, Tonic will have more words, in addition to this, it immediately becomes a walking idiom dictionary, He Ning also counted specifically, except for discussing work-related things The number of words is slightly more, other times Tonic is within ten words, occasionally making exceptions, basically not more than ten or twenty words, which is really unimaginable for He Ning's character who talks endlessly as soon as he opens his mouth。

"How's that? do you think the size fits?" she asked, retracting her thoughts.

Tonic nodded: "Visually, it's about the same." ”

"Then let's go to the bridge, and if there are no more noteworthy details, let's go back to the bureau and check if there are any missing people in recent times. He Ning looked at the sky that had completely darkened, and felt that there was no more point in staying here, a place like this where people came and went, unless it was a trace just created, or the gap in the fence was so obvious, it was basically impossible to keep it, so no matter how long he delayed, it didn't seem to have any special significance.

Thorny agreed, and the two of them continued to walk the rest of the bridge according to the division of labor, and there was indeed nothing more noteworthy, so they turned back, got off the bridge, and drove back to the public security bureau. At this time, Forensic Doctor Liu and the others had also closed the team, and it seemed that there would not be too few people in the Public Security Bureau who "drove night trains" at night.

On the way back, Tang Li asked He Ning: "I'll send you home, and I'll check the missing person." ”

"No," He Ning refused his kindness, "I'm also worried about the results of the autopsy or something, and it's not practical to stay home when I go home, and this case has just been taken over, there are still a lot of unknowns, in case there are any other developments that need people in the middle of the night, don't I have to rush to the bureau, it's better to go back to the bureau with you." ”

When Tonic heard her say this, he nodded, and did not continue to persuade her to go home.

He took over his decision so quickly, and He Ning was a little surprised: "You agreed, I thought you would insist on sending me back to rest in order to show your gentlemanly demeanor and kindness!"

Tang Li turned his head to look at He Ning, and shook his head seriously: "The greatest kindness is to respect your wishes." ”

Although his words were very brief and his tone was very flat, He Ning felt as if his chest had been hit hard by an invisible hammer, and he didn't expect that Tonic Li, a man of few words, would be so philosophical when he occasionally spoke. People do need to care for each other, take care of each other, and be considerate of each other, but there are always many people in this world, under the banner of caring for you and doing good for you, imposing their will on you, requiring you to do what they want, no matter what your own original intentions were. Many times, you have to succumb to the other party's "care", so as not to make the other party feel that he does not know the good heart, but when you live the way the other party wants according to the other party's requirements, at a certain moment on a certain day, the other party may suddenly change his face, and turn around to accuse you of why you are not responsible for your own life, but to put this responsibility on the other person's body, he is out of breath, and needs someone to adjust.

He Ning remembered how eager she was to become a front-line criminal policeman when she was preparing to apply for the exam before graduation, but because there was such a person who was "good for you", she strongly opposed it, hoping that she would be more stable in the backhouse, so that she would have more time to "be in the Lord" in the future, how confused she was, and accepted such an arrangement in a daze because of the previous move, until the bloody facts were in front of her, she suddenly woke up and realized how stupid she was at the beginning.

Yes, if you really want to do what is good for you, isn't it for the sake of respecting that person's own will? Imposing one's will on the other party is not for the good of the other person, but for the good of oneself.

Fortunately, it was not too late for me to wake up, and everything was still in time.

"Okay! Then let's go straight to the Public Security Bureau!" He Ning quickly adjusted his mood, waved his hand in a chic manner, and looked high-spirited, as if she was directing Tonic to go to some destination, and pointed to the plastic bag she put on the back seat of the car by the way, "That's right, I haven't taken the snacks you gave me home yet, tonight's night train', I will definitely be hungry, let's use these to fill our stomachs!"

Tang Li nodded silently, He Ning was also accustomed to his silent response, and the two of them quickly returned to the Public Security Bureau and immediately started to check the information of the missing men in the recent period.

Although it is a necessary step to screen the missing person's information first, He Ning did not put her hope on this, after all, according to her few experiences, the chance of finding clues from the missing person at this time is only 50% at most, and most people think that this person has nothing to do when they are found and called the police.

Sure enough, after a long search, it was found that there were no missing men reported in City A during this period.

But fortunately, in the middle of the night, Forensic Doctor Liu called to inform them to go over to talk about the autopsy, and there has been a little new progress in the examination of the deceased's body, and this "night train" has finally not been in vain. (To be continued.) )
