Irina has no assistants, let alone a team, and rarely lets others enter her studio, but there are exceptions, no matter how big Irina is, she is just one person, and there are always times when she can't be busy, when this time comes, she will go back to the university to recruit helpers, most of these helpers may fail because of credit problems, hoping to help Professor Irina fill the credits for the opportunity, but even if you give more credits, These highly educated students would not deign to search for corpses in areas such as the sewers of the lower city, not to mention that they do not have the skills to dodge the sudden floods that can occur at any time in the sewer pipes.

There is no way, Ke Junxia has to do this by himself, but even Ke Junxia doesn't have so much energy to find every pipeline, so he had to pay for himself to hire a few plumbers to conduct a four-day search in key areas, which almost made Ke Junxia bankrupt, but fortunately, they found a total of ten corpses of infants, cats and dogs in the murder area, and a corpse of a white ossified adult, two of which were lucky to be waxed, and the other nine were only white bones.

Ke Junxia and another hired man pushed the cart, which was full of body bags, and walked all the way through the corridor of the Special Investigation Bureau, all of them covering their noses and avoiding them. In fact, these people don't have a habit of cleanliness, and most of them often come into contact with corpses, but Ke Junxia's two cars are really full of flavor, and even people who have been trained for a long time can't accept it.

Fortunately, there is a separate passage in Irina's autopsy room, and after Ke Junxia moved all the corpses to the autopsy room, he numbered them before going to the office to find Irina, and as soon as he entered, everyone who was busy in the office stopped what they were doing almost at the same time, covering their noses with their hands, but these people were not malicious, and even quipped: "Yo, our plumber is back." ”

Although Ke Junxia is a registered bounty hunter, he is also a senior student, and these people are the same age, so there is no barrier, although they only get along for two or three days, it has become common for them to joke with each other.

Irina made a teacher's appearance, but she was not very stern and said: "What are you laughing at, if you become a forensic officer in the future, you will have this smell all day long", she said and opened the drawer, touched it inside, and finally took out a small piece of soap, stretched out her arm straight to Ke Junxia and said: "Use this, go wash again, we have found a new clue, we need you to go out in the field, you will smoke everyone away if you go like this now." ”

There was another burst of laughter.

Ke Junxia took the soap as much as possible without touching Irina, then smiled apologetically at everyone in the room, turned around and was about to leave, Irina shouted, "Where are you going?" ”

Ke Junxia said: "Go take a bath." ”

Irina said, "It's nearby, you can use my office bathroom." ”

Ke Junxia was a little embarrassed and said, "This ...... It's not very convenient. ”

Irina said: "What's inconvenient, I'm also a person who often deals with corpses. ”

Ke Junxia said again: "But I didn't bring a change of clothes." ”

Irina said, "I'm going to send you out on the field soon, and I'll arrange it for you." ”

Speaking of which, Ke Junxia really had no reason to refuse, so he glanced at Irina gratefully and obediently walked in the direction of the bathroom. When Ke Junxia's figure disappeared behind the door, a naughty boy suddenly said, "Teacher, are you in love?" ”

Everyone present immediately laughed when they heard this. Irina actually blushed a little when she was said, but she didn't get angry, she just feigned anger and said, "You just wait to fail this time." ”

The mischievous boy begged for mercy, and everyone laughed again until Irina tapped the whiteboard with her whip and urged everyone to keep working.

The smell of the soap given by Irina is not strong, and the treatment exudes a faint herbal fragrance, but the effect is very good. He tried to smell his own body, but he couldn't believe his sense of smell, because the smell in the sewer was so strong that any creature with a sense of smell would temporarily shut down his sense of smell in order to protect itself. After a long time in the pickled fish shop, I don't feel the taste, that's the reason.

Ke Junxia took a bath, but found two more problems, one is that he has no clothes to wear now, and the other is that the clothes he took off should be thrown into the laundry basket, but his clothes are too dirty, and it is not appropriate to use Irina's special laundry basket.

When Ke Junxia was in a dilemma, there was a knock on the bathroom door, and then a timid, small bell-like voice remembered: "Senior, the professor asked me to send you a change of clothes." ”

Just listening to the voice, Ke Junxia heard that the girl outside the door was Lin Quan.

Lin Quan is a very low-key person, which is based on her ethnicity. Lin Quan's race calls itself the Tree Elves, in fact, like all mutants, everyone likes to find some corresponding races from Earth mythology as the name of their mutated race, and it seems that only by doing so can they get closer to the authentic unmutated humans.

But when the earth's immigration spaceship disintegrated over Eden, the part of Lin Quan's ancestors happened to fall into a tropical rainforest, and then tragedy happened, although the people who were able to board the immigration spaceship were experts, but there was a specialization in the art industry, with the fall of the spaceship, people with wild survival skills just did not survive, so the rest of the people fell into a desperate situation, with the arrival of death, the emergency genetic drugs injected before boarding the spacecraft played a role, they survived, but mutated and became tree elves.

The Dryads are the self-proclaimed name of this race, many people disparagingly call them the Monkey Race, their general height is only two-thirds of the normal person, and they are very thin, but they are good at climbing, vegetarian, and can get nutrients from many poisonous plants that are deadly to ordinary people. Although they are called monkeys, they are not ugly in general, at least they are still a human face, but their skin is darker, brown, round ears, their limbs are more mutated, their upper limbs are long, their lower limbs are short, and all the structures are in the service of climbing, and the biggest mutation is the two feet, which have become "hands" that are good at grasping, but they are no longer suitable for running like humans.

When the Dryads returned to civilization, they still chose to live on treehouses and build cities in the forest, but if they came to human cities, the first big problem they faced was wearing shoes. Because of the mutation of their feet, ordinary shoes no longer fit them, and they had only two options to wear them – to have surgery to cut their feet, or to wear shoes made specifically for them.

The metropolis, especially the uptown, basically has no racial discrimination, after all, everyone is the descendant of immigrants from the earth, but there is aesthetic discrimination, although the tree elves are thin and petite, and the facial features are handsome, but the overall shape, the proportion of limbs, especially the pair of hands and feet, really do not conform to the traditional aesthetics, so in the university where young people gather, the tree elf race, like other mutant races, is difficult to integrate into the mainstream, and they can only choose to be with the same race.

Although the Dryad race has mutated and become a subhuman race, its intelligence has not degenerated, but it seems to have made up for it, but it has gained an advantage in some aspects, Lin Quan comes from an aristocratic family of Dryads, which produces a variety of best-selling products from non-standard clothing, shoes and socks to self-defense weapons, and is also quite popular with collectors. But Lin Quan is still very low-key and humble in college, she has excellent grades, rarely uses luxury goods, rarely socializes with people, and is called by her classmates as a person who lives in shadows.

Ke Junxia has been a bounty hunter for two years, and his observation is far more than that of his peers, when Irina brought the students over to help for the first time, Ke Junxia noticed Lin Quan, after all, among the seven or eight students, there are only two mutants, although Lin Quan is low-key, but not invisible, and sometimes low-key people are often more able to attract the attention of others.

Now that Lin Quan sent a change of clothes, Ke Junxia felt very relieved, after all, a person who can do things quietly and quietly can bring a sense of security to others. Ke Junxia opened the bathroom door a crack, took the change of clothes, closed the door again, and found that everything from clean underwear to shirts and coats was neatly stacked and placed in order. Ke Junxia guessed that this was entrusted by Irina to Lin Quan, after all, he had been to Irina's house, a typical older single woman, and at the moment she was guiding everyone to check and compare the case files, and she didn't have time to do these small things.

Ke Junxia changed his clothes, and began to worry about what to do with the clothes he changed, and there were also personal items, such as documents and firearms, I am afraid that they will also stick to the smell and need to be disinfected to remove the smell. At this time, Lin Quan knocked on the door again and said, "Senior, you can go to the professor to do a task briefing first, and I will come back to deal with the clothes and belongings I have changed." ”

"It's a great help." Ke Junxia felt that he had solved a big problem, so he opened the door and saw Lin Quan carrying a small basket, which contained cleaning liquid, disinfectant and other things, but lowered his head, and before Ke Junxia could thank him, she went into the bathroom from the side and closed the door with her backhand.

This made Ke Junxia feel a little embarrassed, so he had to say thank you through the door, but Lin Quan said, "The professor arranged for me to do it." In a word, he opened the distance with Ke Junxia.

When Ke Junxia returned to the office, his body became fragrant, Irina looked up at him, and said, "I don't have to return that piece of soap, you can keep it, who knows what disgusting things will happen." ”

Ke Junxia felt embarrassed again, because he hadn't thought of returning the soap before, and after the soap was used up, it was conveniently placed on the shelf in the bathroom.

Fortunately, Irina didn't delve into the matter of soap, but picked up a file, took Ke Junxia to the small lounge in the middle, and asked Ke Junxia to close the door, before handing him the file and saying, "You can memorize the key things in it as soon as possible, and you can use it when you go out later." ”

Ke Junxia opened the dossier, and was surprised when he read the first two pages: "Someone actually survived?" ”

Irina nodded slowly: "I just sent it in the morning, the only case, someone survived after being attacked." ”
