Chapter 25: Qingcheng Mountain Range
Master Wang: "I'm going to be a guide for the people from the CDC, and they're going to the Misty Valley to find out about the miasma. ”
Li Dazhu: "It's a coincidence, the place where I found the body is also near the Misty Valley, and we went to the same place." ”
Master Wang: "That's a coincidence, or we will walk together, and there will be a response on the way." ”
By the time Master Wang and Li Dazhu finished greetings, Gu Yanan and Nan Hanfei had already understood the matter.
Nan Hanfei smiled and said to Gu Yanan: "Director Gu, please take care of me on the way." ”
Gu Yanan turned his head and asked the local Qingcheng County CDC people, "How much do you still have in reserve of biochemical protective clothing in the county CDC?" Are there any additional four sets? ”
"Yes."
"That trouble is brought to the police comrades."
People from the county CDC went back to pick up biohazard suits.
Nan Hanfei was a little embarrassed, "Thanks to meeting you, otherwise I wouldn't have known that Qingcheng Mountain was so dangerous." ”
"The place you go to is also Misty Valley, according to our speculation, there is miasma near Misty Valley, it may also be mustard gas, this poison is very harmful to the human body, just in case, it is better for you to wear all biochemical protective suits."
Nan Hanfei believed in Gu Yanan's professional judgment, and after thanking him, he put on the protective clothing brought by the county CDC.
The two groups of people combined to form a team of 11 people, including six disease control workers, a guide Master Wang, a reporter Li Dazhu, and three policemen, including Nan Hanfei and the forensic doctor, entered Qingcheng Mountain.
——
Qingcheng Mountains, deep.
The guides, Master Wang and Li Dazhu, walked in the front, followed by CDC personnel and four police officers.
The group walked in the primeval forest for nearly three hours, each wearing heavy protective clothing, which significantly slowed down the march.
Wang Xiaoxiao was small, and just when he couldn't stand the stuffiness in the protective suit, rolling thunder suddenly sounded in the sky.
Lu Li helped Wang Xiaoxiao on the side, and comforted: "I looked at the weather forecast before entering the mountain, there are thundershowers in the mountains, and this kind of showers come and go quickly, it's okay." ”
Wang smiled, looked up at the sky, the clouds were thick, and he looked down carefully at his feet, and continued to walk forward, "It's good to rain, it's not so hot when it rains." ”
In a few moments, the rain poured down.
Li Dazhu touched the protective clothing on his body and said happily: "This high-end thing is good, and it can be waterproof." ”
The thundershowers were coming violently, and although Gu Yanan did not know the terrain in Qingcheng Mountain, he knew that this kind of heavy rain was likely to cause flash floods.
Gu Yanan approached the guide, Master Wang, and asked loudly, "Master Wang, the rain is so heavy, will there be a danger of flash floods?" ”
In the sound of the rainstorm, Master Wang's voice was particularly loud, "It's okay, I took you to this place, there has never been a flash flood, and the water on the mountain flows to the valley along a mountain stream next to it." ”
The words of the guide Master Wang were very comforting, Gu Yanan was no longer worried, but Nan Hanfei frowned very tightly, and cursed in his heart that this rain was not the right time.
A rain can erase many traces, and when the body is found, the useful clues at the scene are almost washed away by the rain.
Although the rain was heavy, it only lasted for ten minutes.
The rain soon stopped, the dark clouds in the sky dispersed, revealing the blue sky, and even the dense fog that had accumulated all year round in the depths of Qingcheng Mountain was washed away by the rain, and the air in the forest was exceptionally fresh.
Li Dazhu suddenly shouted: "It's almost there, it's in front." ”
Li Dazhu trotted a few steps forward, stopping at the edge of a valley depression where the water was swelling.
Li Dazhu pointed to the steep slope of the valley depression and shouted to the crowd: "The corpse is here, I was worried that this shower would wash the corpse away, but the corpse happened to be stuck between two big stones." ”
Following the direction of Li Dazhu's finger, Nan Hanfei found the body.
Nan Hanfei was the first to descend the steep slope of the hillside, followed by the forensic doctor of the police force, and two young policemen.
Through the few sparse trees in the valley, the corpse sandwiched between two rocks can be seen wearing clothes with a clear sign "Coastal Tourism Development Company".
Gu Yanan thought of the five people who were hospitalized in the hospital, who were also employees of the Binhai Tourism Development Company, could there be some kind of connection between them and the corpse?
Gu Yanan was about to go down, but the guide, Master Wang, suddenly stopped her and said, "The Misty Valley is in front, don't go from below, walk closer from above." ”
Master Wang, the guide, pointed to the south-facing valley depression, where the vegetation was lush, with towering peaks on both sides, and a wide canyon in the middle, where the five people in the hospital had visited.
However, at this time, the fog in the Misty Valley, because of the heavy rain just now, has dissipated, the surrounding air is very fresh, the sky is very blue, and there is no trace of yellow mist.
Gu Yanan said to the guide, Master Wang, "I'm going to go down to see the corpse at the bottom of the valley first, the water here is flowing from the direction of the Misty Valley, so I suspect that the corpse here may have something to do with what we are going to investigate in the Misty Valley." ”
Since the boss asked to go down, the guide Master Wang no longer objected, but just advised, "The road is slippery after the rain, everyone should be careful." ”
Wang Xiaoxiao followed behind Gu Yanan with both hands and feet, walking along the slope to the direction of the corpse, while muttering in his heart: "The road is slippery after the rain?!" But where is the road, there are weeds and broken rocks everywhere. ”
Gu Yanan, Zhou Jie, Lu Lihe, and the two disease control personnel from the county district arrived near the corpse one after another, Wang Xiaoxiao fell last, and the guide Master Wang followed Wang Xiaoxiao, for fear that her feet would slip and cause some accidents.
The police had already pulled up a cordon around the corpse with their hands and feet.
Gu Yanan stood outside the cordon and watched as the forensic doctor was examining the body.
The corpse was face down, its head was soaked in the stream, and it was difficult to see its face, and one leg was stuck between two rocks, so the corpse was not swept away by the swelling stream.
The forensic examiner inferred that "judging from the degree of rigor stiffness, the time of death of the deceased was within 24 to 48 hours, and the exposed skin of the limbs was obviously erosive, as if it had been stimulated by some kind of erosive poison...... Further information will have to wait for the autopsy report upon return. ”
Another young policeman approached Nan Hanfei and whispered, "Nan Team, the traces of the scene have been washed away by the rain, and no useful clues can be found, but based on the current position of the corpse and the point of view of the jam between him and the rock, the corpse should have been washed down by the stream from the upstream." ”
Another young policeman was holding a transparent evidence bag containing a palm-sized searchlight that he had just found by the stream.
The young policeman showed the evidence in front of Nanfei and said, "Nan Team, this searchlight has the words 'Coastal Tourism Development Company' on it, which should be owned by the deceased like the mark on the corpse's clothes." ”
