Chapter 9: The Disappearing Floating Corpse
I smiled embarrassedly and quickly explained: "I am a staff member of the Yellow River Water Conservancy Station, and I was the first to arrive at the scene on the day of the accident of the Yujue brothers. ”
This is half true and half false, and there is nothing wrong with that.
The beauty glanced at Wang Yujue, she should have received a positive look, and her attitude towards me also took a 180-degree turn.
"I'm sorry! I...... I'm his aunt. "My face turned red.
After chatting, I learned that Wang Yujue's aunt's name is Wu Yuhui, and in the two days after her sister and brother-in-law died, she was taking care of her nephew who was hospitalized. Coincidentally, Wu Yuhui is a female criminal policeman, who works at the police station next to the hospital, and she also feels that the death of her brother-in-law and eldest nephew is very suspicious, so she saw strangers chatting with her little nephew, and she became vigilant.
Through chatting, I could feel that Wu Yuhui was a hot girl with a straightforward personality, so I told her what I had learned and what I thought.
Wu Yuhui nodded as he listened.
"It's similar to what I thought, I'll take Yujue out of the hospital today, you...... You leave a WeChat! Let's share the information of the case! After speaking, he took out his mobile phone and clicked on the WeChat QR code.
I wanted to continue to ask Wang Yujue about the question just now, if I knew who the old man who asked him to fish for the black box was, wouldn't I have a chance to find out what the "briquettes" in the black box were?
Seeing that Wu Yuhui was in a hurry to take Wang Yujue out of the hospital, I had to restrain this urgent thought, and after thinking about it, since Wang Yujue is fine, and she is still following her aunt who is a criminal policeman, and I have her aunt's contact information, I am not in a hurry.
Besides, I have another thought in my heart - this happens to be a good opportunity to contact Wu Yuhui. Beauty! There is no resistance at all to a normal man of my age.
Back at the station, I was in a good mood.
Tian Zhen and a few of them went to patrol the river, and Yu Jin entrusted it to Wu Jinghan and Han Binhua. Seeing that Yu Jin had regained consciousness, it seemed that there were not as many jujube-shaped pimples on his face as there were last night, and I felt a lot more at ease.
It seems that Dad's method worked, and I inadvertently showed it off.
Speaking of which, this time I am a lifesaver for him, if Yu Jin is a girl, how can he make a promise to him, thinking of this, I unconsciously glanced at Wu Jinghan.
The liquor soaked in Yu Jin yesterday has turned brown yellow, and the smell is extremely fishy, it must not be used, after Han Binhua and I poured it out, we were about to pour the liquor into the water tank again, when we heard Tian Zhen scolding from outside and walking in.
"What's wrong, Brother Zhen?"
Tian Zhen threw his shirt on the chair next to him, and muttered angrily: "It's not the police of the district police station, they just treat us as professional corpse collectors, our job is to patrol the river." After speaking, he couldn't help but curse again.
"Floating corpses found in the Yellow River again?"
"Even the woman who threw herself into the river in the rain that day searched for several days, but she couldn't find her body."
It turned out to be Wang Yujue's mother, and Wang Yujue's eyes were red and swollen again in my heart, and I was a little sad.
"Maybe she was caught by weeds or sticks in the water, and it rained so hard, she was looking for death, she should have drowned." I casually persuaded Tian Zhen.
"Under normal circumstances, floating corpses in the water will float to the surface in three to five days!"
Wu Jinghan suddenly came up with such a sentence, which made Tian Zhen and I unexpected, and looked at her subconsciously almost at the same time.
"You...... How do you know? Could it be that the corpse in the water gave you a dream?" Tian Zhen's serious joke made Wu Jinghan a little overwhelmed.
I hurriedly played the round: "Don't listen to his nonsense - what is the basis for what you say?" ”
Wu Jinghan nodded: "After the corpse in the water is soaked in the water for three days, along with the decay of the internal organs, a gas that is lighter than the air quality will be produced, and when this gas reaches a certain amount, the corpse will float. ”
I nodded: "I see, no wonder most of the corpses fished ashore have bulging stomachs." ”
Tian Zhen let out a "hmm" and muttered: "I thought the floating corpse had a bulging belly, and it was angry after drowning!" ”
"You know all day long!" Li Guozhi scolded, walked in, glared at Tian Zhen, and then nodded at Wu Jinghan with a smile, "Xiao Wu is right!" That's why most of the floating corpses have bulging bellies. ”
In the afternoon, Wu Jinghan wanted to follow us to patrol the river, and Li Guozhi arranged a special task for me, that is, I could not do other work, and I must protect her safety.
All in all, that's a beautiful difference!
At night, I lay on the bed and couldn't fall asleep, so I carefully combed through the experience of the past few days, and always felt that Li Guozhi must have something to hide from me, especially the room with a heavy security door in his house, what was in it, why didn't even Yao Liguo and Aunt Hu know?
The reason why I came here to work is that my uncle said that he had found an old comrade-in-arms, and I have always believed in this.
When I think about it again, I realize that something is wrong - my uncle's old comrade-in-arms? Suddenly, a lightning bolt crossed my mind. Uncle seems to have never been a soldier! Where did the old comrades-in-arms come from?
I sat up suddenly, my heart pounding. Why did my uncle lie to me? Could it be that I was allowed to enter the Yellow River Water Conservancy Station, what secrets could not be told? Or is it simply a conspiracy?
It's scary to think about!
The more I thought about it, the more weird I felt, and the cold sweat came down, until dawn, I didn't sleep for a second, turning over and over, baking one cake, and another cake.
As soon as the morning dawned, I asked Li Guozhi for leave, lying that one of my own family members had passed away.
My family lives in Nanhu Village, about 70 or 80 miles away from the Yellow River Water Conservancy Station, and I came to my uncle's house in less than two hours.
"Dongdong, why are you back? Is it a holiday at work, or is there something else? ”
The second uncle happened to be picking up a farm tricycle.
In fact, the second uncle and the third aunt are very good to me, especially after the death of the old lady, it can be said that the two of them treat me as their own son, even if they have something to deceive me, I firmly believe that there must be some hardship, and it will definitely not harm me.
"Second uncle! If I ask you something, you must tell me the truth! ”
I said this crunchyly, which made the second uncle stunned for a moment.
"What's the matter? You mean! ”
"Second uncle, I went to work at the Yellow River Water Conservancy Station, who arranged it?"
I could sense a trace of uneasiness flashing on the second uncle's face: "Just ask about this!" You...... Don't you know? I asked my old comrades-in-arms for help, and compared to your academic qualifications, this job is not bad. ”
I smiled bitterly twice: "Second uncle, you haven't been a soldier for a day, where are you from a comrade-in-arms?" ”
As soon as these words came out, the second uncle's face immediately changed, and he didn't know what to say.
I took advantage of the victory and continued to ask, "Do you know how my father disappeared?" Is his disappearance related to the Yellow River Water Conservancy Station? ”
The second uncle is an honest farmer, and he is not born to lie, and it is precisely because of this that I didn't realize that there was such a big hole in his words before.
was asked by me so continuously, and the second uncle collapsed in an instant.
"Since...... Since I can't hide it from you, I'll tell you everything I know! The second uncle sighed deeply.
I took two small maza, handed one to my second uncle, sat on one myself, and waited for his next step.
Before speaking, the second uncle first lit a cigarette, took two deep breaths, and slowly spit it out before he began to speak: "Actually, it was your father's arrangement to let you go to work at the water conservancy station!" ”
