Sycamore Lane is a good alley, all the roads are covered with the shade of tall sycamore trees, and the huge green umbrella is covered by small red brick western-style buildings. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThis road is similar to Julaida Road, and it is inhabited by some wealthy people, so the environment here will naturally enter the eyes of the municipal office, and some people will report that there is a smell from the sewers here, and soon the municipal office will send someone to deal with it. As a result, bodies were found in clogged sewers.

"I'm scared to death, where have I seen this."

The staff of the municipal office is called Section Chief Fang, a middle-aged man in his forties, who pointed to a pile covered with rain cloths not far away: "When the workers found this, I told people not to move, and they had to protect the scene, right, Mr. Inspector." ”

Luo Yin was obviously lazy to socialize with people, and after understanding the general situation of the matter, he strode over and lifted the rain cloth, Section Chief Fang had already prepared, and hurriedly took a few steps back, covering his mouth and nose, with a look of disgust.

In fact, as soon as he got out of the car, Su San already smelled the smell of rotting corpses. Her sense of smell was too sensitive, not to mention that the corpse had been in the sewers for several days, and the smell was already very strong.

What kind of smell does a carrion smell?

The suffocating smell, slippery, thick envelops everything around it.

Su San had been forcibly ordering himself to calm down, and at this time, seeing that Section Chief Fang did not hide his disgust, he also covered his mouth and nose and stood there motionless.

"Are you scared?"

Luo Yin turned around and saw Su San and asked.

Su San gave him a blank look: "I'm not a policeman, just an ordinary person, it's normal to react like this when I see a corpse." ”

"What do you smell?"

"The feeling of helplessness is slippery and greasy, like being covered by someone who can't breathe, well, it's going to suffocate." Su San's slender fingers pressed to his throat, quietly describing everything he felt,

Suffocate. Ordinary people should smell the smell of rotting corpses. But Luo Yin looked down at the corpse's neck, frowned and was silent.

It was a large underground well, and the bodies of the deceased had been stuck in the mud and garbage, naked, with no clothing nearby. Before Luo Yin arrived, the patrol had already coerced and lured the workers hired by the municipal government to carry the body out, put it on the ground, cover it with a tarpaulin, and wait for someone to come to the police station.

The female corpse was like a fish thrown into the mud, her chest and abdomen were opened, and the inside was empty, and a lot of flesh on her thighs had been removed, and her ribs were missing. This made Luo Yin think of those pieces of meat and ribs, only the neck, skull and arms were intact, and the face was swollen and blue-black, Luo Yin noticed that there was a clear circle of purple and black in the throat of the corpse, he reached out and played with the throat of the deceased, and then reached out to pull the deceased's mouth. Section Chief Fang couldn't bear to continue looking, and looked away, Su San also lowered his head slightly and stared at his feet, not wanting to see his movements.

The deceased should have been strangled and his hyoid bones were broken. Su San happened to look up and saw him holding the deceased's hand, she couldn't help but exclaim: "Fingers! ”

Yes, the female deceased had one finger less. Luo Yin also discovered this, what was missing was the little finger, which was the same as the one in the bag of meat the day before yesterday. The incision was very flat, there was no life reaction, it should have been cut after death, and the other nine fingers left could still vaguely distinguish the dark red that had not yet faded, which was the trace of the impatiens.

Luo Yin waved his hand and asked his subordinates to put the corpse in a bag, at this time Miao Yi and the police had already opened all the sewers in this alley, and every household in Wutong Lane closed their doors and windows, because the air was filled with an indescribable smell of death, similar to the smell of stinky fish and rotten shrimp, and people in the nearby streets were asking: "Is shrimp paste being made around here?" Why does it stink so much? ”

"Boss, the sewers have been pried open and this has been found." Wearing rubber gloves, Miao threw a stinky mass to the ground, and although it was soaked in sewage and smelled, it was still recognizable as a pile of clothes. Luo Yin picked open the pile of clothes with a stick, and he recognized that it should be a very ordinary blue cloth trouser gown, as well as a bright red small belly pocket. In these days, fashionable girls will not have such old-fashioned dresses, and the deceased should be a very ordinary girl from a low-level family.

Luo Yin looked at Su San: "You come and see these clothes." What to find. ”

Su San covered his mouth and nose, reluctantly took a few steps forward, looked at it a few times and said: "It's all coarse cloth, it seems that the deceased's family is poor, this belly pocket, the embroidery is quite good, and the handiwork is very good." ”

"Can you smell anything?"

"Gardenias, they smell of gardenias."

"I hope you're right this time." Luo Yin didn't believe it very much, because the whole street was so stinky, she could smell the fragrance of gardenias, which was incredible.

Luo Yin ordered the body to be put in a bag and transported away. At this time, the section chief hurriedly asked, "Detective, can our people go?" ”

He really didn't want to stay in such an environment for long, he was almost dying.

"Wait a minute, I want to ask a little more about the situation, and please call all the workers who found the body."

Luo Yin's mouth was troublesome, but his expression was completely reasonable.

Section Chief Fang could only call those workers over. When the foreman saw Luo Yin, his face was strange, and he turned around and whistled at Su San and said, "What a coincidence, why did I meet you again, I was just looking for a bowl of rice to eat, and begged this beautiful lady to intercede with the detective." ”

Su San's eyes widened, it turned out that this leader turned out to be one of the white-faced people at the scene where the body was found that day, Su San remembered that the old patrol officer also called him Qin Hemp. It's just that there are no pockmarks on the face of this Qin hemp, but there are some pits on the dough, which must have fallen from smallpox when he was a child.

"You're still doing all this work?"

Luo Yin was also surprised, in his heart, this kind of white-faced person was the garbage in the city, and he never thought that the garbage could do what he could.

"Detective, we also want to support ourselves, and it's hard to go around looking for people to beg for food."

Qin Haozi scratched the back of his head with his black hand: "Our brothers are really just here to do a hard job." I didn't think that I would encounter such an evil thing, it was really unlucky. ”

"Tell me how you found the body."

"It's Fang Xiaosan who said that his brother was looking for a worker to clean the sewers, and said that the pay was not bad, so I asked a few people to undertake this job."

When he said Fang Xiaosan, his eyes secretly glanced at Section Chief Fang, and a sneer appeared on the corner of Luo Yin's mouth: "Fat water doesn't flow into outsiders' fields, Section Chief Fang." ”

Section Chief Fang wiped the sweat from his forehead and explained in fear: "Mr. Inspector, in fact, I just want to find someone who I am not looking for, so I entrusted this job to my younger brother." Everything came according to the rules, and I didn't make any profit from it. ”

Su Sanxin said, it turns out that this section chief is fake for public and private affairs, no wonder he can find such a team of unreliable white-faced people to work.

"Go on."

Luo Yin didn't listen to his explanation at all, and motioned for Qin Haozi to continue.

"I came and found that the sewer really smelled, and then we started to work, it was the first time I did this kind of work, and I didn't think that the lid of this well was easy to open, and I didn't open it with much force."

"Wait, you said the manhole cover was easy to open?"

"yes, I'm still wondering, isn't it a shame to not be able to open this thing, but I didn't expect to plug the crowbar in, and I opened it without waiting for hard work."

"Is it possible that the manhole cover has been opened in the past few days?"

"Alas, yes! Mr. Inspector is amazing. Yes, it should be! I remembered that there were traces of the edge of the manhole cover being opened, and when I saw the corpse, I was stunned, but I didn't expect it to be here. ”

Qin Haozi slapped his thigh and shouted, "I said, how can I open the manhole cover so easily." ”

"And then you got the corpses?"

"Yes, fortunately, it's me Qin Hemp, this person can't be scared to pee his pants." Qin Haozi began to brag about himself.

Luo Yin waved his hand and told him to go down, and Section Chief Fang asked tremblingly, "Mr. Inspector, ...... this matter?"

"It's nothing wrong with you. Take someone to clean up the sewers and leave. Oh, by the way, there's a Ms. Lin here? ”

"I can look at the register of the municipal office. Wait, wait and I'll get back to you. ”

Su San was a little puzzled, how could the staff of this municipal office be so respectful to Luo Yin. Although the police department is a powerful department in this city, it is not enough for a public official to have such a low profile towards the detective.

As soon as Luo Yin returned to the police station with the people, he received a call from the section chief.

"Mr. Inspector, I checked, there are a total of 34 households in Wutong Lane, but there is no family surnamed Lin."

"Maybe it's a lady whose maiden name is Lin."

"Oh, that's right, there's a Mrs. Han surnamed Lin."

"The Han family? Where is it? ”

"It's diagonally opposite the underground well, oh, by the way, there's a tall fig tree next door to this house, and the family's surname is Zhao."

"Wait a minute. The Zhao family? What is the homeowner's name? ”

"It's called Zhao Qingfang, and it's a wife."

Zhao Qingfang is Mrs. Zhao's name! It turns out that the Zhao family also has a house in Wutong Lane!
