Chapter 128: Body Search

Murong Fei found that his right foot was on the floor of the bilge, feeling very steady, he thought to himself, the bottom of the bilge should still be intact, so he shouted to the other team members who followed behind: "Safety." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Looking down through his own survey lamp, the water was a little cloudy from the dissolved amount of burnt carbon, and he couldn't see what was in the water.

Murong Fei saw an aisle in the middle of the bilge, the left and right sides were symmetrical seats, the backrest of the seat had been completely burned, and now what he saw was the metal skeleton inside the chair, and some scattered springs that supported the elasticity of the backrest, and the window panes on both sides of the boat were all broken, leaving only a few pieces of fragments by the window, which remained in the gap by the window.

He reached out to touch the bottom of the aisle in front of him, there was nothing at the bottom, he didn't know where the diver had just found the body, so he had to keep searching forward.

Chi Ming followed closely behind Murong Fei, and when he walked down the escalator from the deck just now, he also had the same feeling as Murong Fei.

He saw that the steel pipes of the escalator were burned and deformed, and wondered whether the escalator was the location of the fire, because in the scope of his traceology, the location of the fire scene will determine the nature of the case, and the purpose of his exit from the bilge was not the corpse, he knew that the corpse was the work of a forensic doctor, and he himself said that he was really not very good at it, and he was most concerned about the changes in the scene, determining the location of the fire, and discovering the cause of the fire.

Chi Ming watched as he walked, he saw Murong Fei constantly groping forward in the water, but his own eyes turned to the ceiling of the bilge, he observed the smoke and dust on the ceiling, hoping to distinguish the location of the fire from the distribution of smoke and dust.

He stood in the water and shone the survey flashlight back and forth on the roof of the cabin several times, and he found a strange phenomenon, the smoke and dust in the middle of the roof were slightly lighter, and the concentration became thicker regardless of whether it was forward or backward.

Chi Ming was puzzled in his heart, he thought, why is this happening? Generally speaking, the closer to the fire, the thicker the smoke, the farther away from the fire, the lighter the smoke, and the middle part of the cabin roof in front of him is the lightest, but it becomes thicker on both sides, which really makes him puzzled.

He thought to himself that if the fire started in the middle, it would be counterintuitive, because the middle part had the lowest concentration of smoke and dust.

He also thought that if the fire started at the back of the bilge, which is the location of the escalator, then how could the smoke and dust in front of the bilge become thicker? And vice versa, if the fire started at the front of the bilge, that is, the cockpit that caught fire first, then what about the smoke and dust that gradually thickened near the escalator?

Chi Ming suddenly thought in his heart, could it be that there are two fire points?

This thought flashed in his heart like lightning in an instant, and he himself was startled, if there were two fire points, the possibility of accidental fire would be smaller, if it were not for human factors, how could there be two fire points in one fire place?

Chi Ming shone his flashlight back and forth on the roof of the cabin a few times, feeling bottomless in his heart, he thought, maybe the firefighters at the fire scene are more professional, and only when their authority is released, the task force will finally decide, today's task force leader does not know who it will be, it can't be the director of the whole shore himself.

Su Yi was groping in the water in a row of seats by the window on the left, when suddenly, she felt a hard object in her hand, and felt that the hard object had a natural arc, and she shouted: "I have a corpse here, I seem to have touched its head." ”

Murong Fei and Chi Ming both turned their heads and saw Su Yi put his hands in the water and picked up the head of a corpse from the water.

Murong Fei walked over and saw that the head of the corpse was almost scorched and could not be recognized, but judging from the size of the head, it was more likely that it should be a female corpse.

Seeing this, Chi Ming hurriedly stepped forward to help her lift the corpse's waist and back, lifted the corpse, and laid it flat on the chair that had been burned to the point that only the steel frame remained.

Due to Chi Ming's excessive movements, the water surface was stirred up by him with small waves, and the waves slapped against the corpses on the chair, and the carbon dust on the corpses was constantly washed down and dissolved in the water.

Murong Fei looked at this corpse, the clothes on the corpse's whole body were gone, only some fragments were left attached to the surface of the body, he saw a small piece of fabric with a metal buckle on the corpse's chest, and he completely understood in his heart, this must be a female corpse.

"A brief check of the corpse's appearance, and if nothing unusual is found, move to the deck."

After Murong Fei finished saying to Su Yi, he continued to walk forward, but his mind was still spinning, why did this girl die by the window, so when the fire burned, she really didn't choose to go to the deck on the second floor, but wanted to escape through the window? Or was she sitting by the window?

He continued to search forward from the aisle, while others worked on the seats on either side, and after ten minutes, the bodies were found one after another.

Murong Fei put Shen Hai in charge of recording the video, numbering each newly discovered body, recording the location of the discovery, and marking it separately on a sketch of the scene.

When he searched the wall at the front of the front row of the bottom cabin, he turned around and asked Shen Hai, "Shen Hai, how many corpses have been found?" ”

Shen Hai hurriedly closed the lens cap of the camera in his hand, then took out the scene survey map and counted it on the map.

"Thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen...... A total of 16 corpses. ”

When Shen Hai finished counting, Murong Fei meditated in his heart, 18 people, 16 corpses, and two corpses that had not yet been found, he suddenly thought, what about the captain and the tour guide, could it be that when the accident happened, the captain and the tour guide were not in the passenger area of the bottom cabin?

The captain might be in his own cockpit, and the tour guide might be there? Murong Fei thought, if this is the case, the corpses in the passenger area of the bottom cabin are basically collected in place, only the cockpit at the front of the cruise ship is not searched, if there are the bodies of the captain and the tour guide over there, then this corpse search task will be basically completed, and the main work that needs to be done next is to transfer the corpses to the deck, conduct basic examinations one by one, identify the source of the body, extract DNA samples, and find out the cause of death.

Murong Fei said to Director Liwen, who was watching their work behind: "Director Liwen, 16 corpses have been found, and there are still two that I should go to the cockpit in front to see?" ”

Liwen nodded and said, "Pay attention to the cockpit, I looked at the barge just now, and I feel that there may have been an explosion in the cockpit." ”

Murong Fei was shocked, thinking, there was an explosion in the cockpit? Why didn't he notice just now?
