Chapter VII

protection

Ling Xiao's voice was actually not loud, but it was better than his calm expression and unhurried, and as soon as he finished speaking, there was a strange silence at the moment.

Zhang Cheng was stunned for a moment, and then he frowned suddenly, and looked at the little girl carefully for the first time.

Ling Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly, did not flinch at all, raised his face and looked at him calmly and calmly, only to feel that the way this person looked at him was really a little weird, it was as if he was looking at some dangerous person.

In fact, real-life cases are not as confusing and exquisite as novels and film and television dramas, and the vast majority of cases are quite simple and sometimes can even be called rough from motive to method. As long as there are enough clues, it is not too difficult for people with strict logic and quick thinking to speculate about the crime and reconstruct the scene. What's more, it is not surprising that more and more people like to watch mystery dramas and novels now, and they have cultivated good reasoning skills. But these things can be cultivated spontaneously, and others are absolutely impossible-Ling Xiao's judgment of the cause of death and the time of death is the real reason why Zhang Cheng's face changed slightly.

Theoretical knowledge can tell you that zombies and corpse spots will change with the time of death, from two to four hours after death and twelve hours to spread...... But you haven't seen the real thing, just by reading the book, you can tell what kind of diffusion period belongs to, and how many hours should it spread? Zhang Cheng is a criminal policeman, and dealing with forensic doctors is a common thing, even if he is a graduate of a forensic science class, he has never seen someone who can be as calm and calm as this little girl when he first goes to the scene for the first time, let alone determine the time and cause of death so quickly.

The man pursed his lips expressionlessly, and couldn't help but look at the girl in front of him again—she was only sixteen or seventeen years old, not yet an adult, with delicate features, and a soft and weak appearance. But at this time, under his gaze, his eyebrows were slightly raised, not only did he not have the slightest timidity, but he looked like he was a little arrogant.

-- At least he wasn't modest at all, and he was obviously very confident in his own judgment.

Zhang Cheng was silent for a while, then suddenly turned his head and asked, "Old Chen, how is it?" ”

"The little girl who can see it so far has just said it, what else do you want me to say?" A man who had been crouching next to the corpse stood up, took off his gloves and took a few steps towards the men.

He seemed to be slightly older than Zhang Cheng, wearing a pair of glasses and looking very gentle.

When Zhang Cheng heard this, he immediately frowned slightly, and when he looked at the man, his gaze was simply naked-naked, and the four big words "What do you want you to do" were written.

The person called "Lao Chen" was not angry, but just smiled and explained helplessly: "The results of the preliminary examination are what the little girl just said. However, the cause of death can only be officially confirmed after going back to the funeral home for autopsy, and the specific time of death should be determined after screening the stomach contents and the source of the corpse. ”

"Someone has been sent to investigate, and it is not a big problem to find the source of the body." Zhang Cheng nodded in response, and no longer demanded anything. However, Ling Xiao blinked his eyes at this time, obviously a little curious, and tilted his head slightly to ask:

"Stomach contents?"

"It is to cut open the stomach of the deceased, and confirm the time of death according to the digestion and the time of the deceased's last meal, which is usually more accurate." The man patiently explained, and then saw the little girl nodding and suddenly realizing that she said "oh", and couldn't help but be a little curious, and asked her gently, "You should still be in middle school, right?" I judged it very accurately just now, there is an adult in the family who is a forensic doctor and has taught you before? ”

Ling Xiao didn't know what the concept of "forensic medicine" was for a while, for fear of revealing any flaws and revealing his identity, he didn't dare to ask more, so he thought about it and just replied: "I have been studying medicine since I was a child. ”

"The little girl is very talented, have you figured out what major to study in college? Have you ever thought about forensic medicine in the future? The man let out an "oh" and asked her with a smile, obviously interested in this "good seedling".

Ling Xiao has always been smart, and after listening to the man's words at this time, he can roughly guess what "forensics" means—probably similar to what he did before, right? The little girl looked at the straight police uniform on the person opposite, thought about it, and shook her head in the end.

The man was not angry, and nodded without any surprise - their line of work is indeed hard, and seeing that this girl is dressed from a good family, there is no need to be so difficult for herself. Sven's man smiled, and just wanted to say "It's okay", but he saw the little girl opposite open her mouth again:

"I have a bad temper and can't eat public meals."

When she said this, her tone was very sincere, and she was obviously telling the truth, but the corners of her eyes were slightly raised, and her phoenix eyes became more and more narrow, and it seemed that she didn't feel guilty about her "bad temper" at all, and maybe she was a little "not ashamed, but proud".

The little girl looked soft and weak, and she really couldn't see anything "very bad-tempered", but she thought it was a little funny that she said that she had a bad temper in such a serious way; It's just that at this time, her eyebrows and eyes were slightly raised, but she really became a little arrogant all of a sudden.

-- It's so arrogant that it has an inexplicable and unjustified taste, and it's not annoying.

The man was slightly stunned, but then he finally couldn't help laughing, and patted Zhang Cheng's shoulder while nodding: "The colleagues from the funeral home are here, I'll go over first, and I'll talk about it after the dissection is completed." ”

Zhang Cheng responded, turned his head and stared at Ling Xiao again, but didn't say anything more, just stretched out his hand to beckon a policewoman over, pointed at Ling Xiao and explained in a deep voice: "Call her parents to inform me." ”

After all, Ling Xiao is still a minor, and when such a thing happens, even if the little girl shows an unusual calmness, their police will always notify the guardian.

So when Ye Lin hurried over, Ling Xiao was holding hands with a young girl in her twenties and whispering something, and there was a policewoman standing next to her, who seemed to be accompanying the two girls; On the edge of the grass in front of the three of them were police officers who were surveying the scene.

Ye Lin had already asked about the general situation on the phone before, and knew that the little girl had crashed into a murder. Even though he knew that this girl had been on the battlefield, and even his subordinates didn't know how many lives she had, he was still instinctively startled and hurried here.

"Ling Xiao, how are you?" Ye Ershao pressed the little girl's shoulder and stared at her face for a while. Seeing that the little girl's face was calm, neither injured nor frightened, she felt a little relieved and calmed down, "What's the matter?" ”

"I went out for a walk, I didn't want to run into a murder." Ling Xiao replied indifferently, and looked down slightly at Ye Lin's hand pressed on his shoulder-Ye Ershao shuddered inexplicably, quickly let go, and then listened to the little girl continue, "I have checked it roughly, if there is no accident, it should be murder for money." The deceased was dressed casually, as if he were a nearby resident. If you come from a well-off family, you should also be careful. ”

She looked serious, even slightly concerned, but Ye Lin didn't know why she was a little worried when she heard it.

At this time, Ling Xiao had already continued the words again: "It should be safe during the day, if you come back late, I can come to pick you up." ”

As soon as the little girl's words came out, almost everyone looked at them - the focus of the eyes was on Ye Lin, and the eyes cast were all the same subtle.

A big man actually wants a little girl to pick it up and ask the little girl to protect it...... Ye Lin could simply see the naked-naked-naked disdain from every line of sight, and he only felt that his heart was jammed at the moment, but he lowered his head to meet the little girl's slightly concerned gaze, and remembered her ungodly force value, and wanted to refute but felt a little weak-hearted, and for a while he wished that he had not been here at all today.

"It's almost noon, go back and eat." Ye Ershao, who was about to be hurt internally, changed the topic rudely with a wooden face.

Ling Xiao nodded in response, but turned his gaze to the girl beside him, and his voice seemed to soften all of a sudden: "Where do you live?" I'll take you home. ”

The girl was indeed very frightened today, and she didn't excuse herself, nodded and whispered her address.

Unexpectedly, she actually lived in the building in front of Ye Lin's apartment.

Ling Xiao and Ye Lin sent her to the door. Ling Xiao thought for a moment, reached out and patted her shoulder gently: "Are you home alone?" If you're still scared in the afternoon, call me. I live in the building behind you, and as soon as you call, I'll be over quickly. ”

As she spoke, she didn't know where she found a small pink flower, and casually put it on the girl's sideburns, and said softly: "I just checked your pulse, typhoid fever has not yet recovered, and you need to sleep well after eating." ”

The girl didn't know why she felt that her face was inexplicably hot, but she answered softly under the concerned gaze of this little girl who was younger than herself.

Ling Xiao's expression when he spoke was really unprecedentedly gentle - at least Ye Lin had never seen a little girl so gentle with him. Ye Ershao was inexplicably a little congested, and when he saw the girl close the door, he couldn't help but glance at the little girl beside him:

"I'm very good at coaxing girls, where did you learn it?"

"Senior sister taught." Ling Xiao didn't notice his abnormality, and while turning around and getting on the elevator to get downstairs, he seriously recalled, "There was a Senior Sister Liu in the valley in the past, who was a disciple of Master Hua Shengyuqing, and she was the most gentle and considerate, and there were no girls outside the valley who didn't like her. ”

Ling Xiao said, as if he suddenly remembered something, and suddenly bent his eyebrows: "I used to say when I was a child that I would marry my senior sister as a bride in the future!" ”。
