Today is the darkest day of my life, hang up the phone call from my husband, maybe tomorrow I can only call my ex-husband, my mind is blank, squatting in a daze by an ancient well more than ten meters deep.

"Forensic Doctor Su, what's wrong with you?" Lao Wang from the police station happened to come over at this time and saw that I was distracted, so he gently squatted beside me and asked me with concern.

I felt that my body seemed to be stiff, and I couldn't turn my head, so I simply didn't turn my head, and said lightly: "It's nothing, have you invited the salvage person?" ”

"The price has been opened to 3,000 yuan, and no one is willing to go down the well, but there is an old bachelor in the village, who seems to be hesitating, we Xiao Zhang is doing work, maybe he is willing to help, Su Forensic Medicine, wait a minute." Lao Wang's tone was very gentle, but it couldn't melt my cold state of mind.

My husband finally gave an ultimatum and decided to divorce me, but I was not mentally prepared, although I was very tough on him on the surface, but my heart kept dripping blood. I had planned to go back and talk to him again in the evening after watching this scene, but I could feel that he was as calm as a stagnant water on the phone just now, and it seemed that he had completely made up his mind to end our three-year marriage.

In fact, I don't blame him, in the past three years, I often worked overtime, and I couldn't go home for a few days when I encountered a big case, all I thought about was work, and I never considered his feelings. I forgot that in addition to being a police officer, I was still an ordinary girl, his newly married wife. In the past three years, I haven't cooked a good meal for him, even a bowl of his favorite mustard and shredded pork noodles can express the warmth of being a wife. But now that it has developed into this, there is no chance to repair it. Looking back, if I had put his fading back into the scene of my work that requires reasoning and analysis, I should have realized that things were quietly changing, and they would not have reached the point where they are today. But I didn't, because I didn't think that life would sometimes turn around like a case.

"Otherwise, I'll go down by myself, Wang." I leaned down to look at the mouth of the well, and my reflection clearly appeared at the bottom of the calm well, and the clothes floating in the well happened to be on the left side of my avatar, as if they were declaring war on me, and the ominous feeling corresponded to my state of mind.

Lily, the girl who disappeared last night, has not been found until now, and Lao Wang is about to be forced to death by her single mother Orchid, and finally a villager reported a clue early in the morning, but it was said that the clothes of suspected girls were found floating in the ancient well. The police station is most afraid of a homicide, and when a murder case is busy, it doesn't know when it will end. My feelings are often very fulfilled, although forensic medicine relies on science, but sometimes it feels more important on the scene, this is what Brother Murong who took me to the beginning repeatedly taught me, I used to be confused about this, I can't understand the mystery, now I completely believe it, in fact, the truth is very simple, it is the so-called practice makes perfect.

Lao Wang looked embarrassed, frowned, and said with a very formal expression: "Either that's the case, I'll call Xiao Zhang back and tell him to go down, you are a girl's house, it will definitely not work." ”

If it were usual, I would definitely not let the women laugh like a beard, but today's mood has already plummeted, and I can't even squeeze out a smile. I didn't learn climbing skills in medical school, but I became a criminal policeman, which is a necessary job: "Don't wait, it's not the first time I've brought a safety rope to this kind of thing." ”

Lao Wang saw that I was very stubborn, so he dragged out a bundle of safety ropes from the back box of the police car, moved to the ancient well, picked up the end with a buckle and tied it to his fat waist.

I hurriedly snatched the rope in his hand, spread my hands apart, and gestured in a circle: "Look at that ancient well, and your waistline, can you get down?" Anyway, I don't feel very good about the following situation, I guess you have been busy for a while, I still hope that I can go down and get first-hand data, if the original situation in the well is destroyed, it will be very troublesome. ”

Lao Wang looked at the mouth of the well, looked down at his bulging belly, and made a joke: "What the hell, it seems that this head must be robbed by you." He pulled out a cigarette, lit it with a snap, and took a sharp puff, "Still, I'm still worried, can you?" Why don't you wait for Xiao Zhang? ”

I have quickly tied the safety rope and prepared to go down the well: "Lao Wang, you call those assistant policemen to come over to help, pull the rope firmly, and don't let me fall." I gestured to a couple of co-constable officers next to the cordon.

Lao Wang greeted him, called all the assistant policemen over, asked them to line up, tightened the rope together, and then patted his chest and said, "Forensic Doctor Su, don't worry, you're fine." ”

I put my feet into the mouth of the well by the edge of the well, and looked at Wang, who and the assistant police were pulling the rope tightly like a tug-of-war. I tried the strength and it should be safe, so I pulled the rope with one hand and took out the police flashlight with the other, and slowly began to sink, while sinking, carefully observing whether there were any traces of friction around the well. Although the wellhead of the well seems a little small, it has become a little big down, so that it is not inconvenient to move, and the wall of the well is covered with wet moss around it, and my toes are on it, slippery and slippery, and I am very insecure. Lao Wang, they slowly lowered the rope, and my eyes kept dipping down, but I didn't find any scratches.

It is said that this well is a thousand-year-old well, and the whole village used to rely on this well for water, but now water presses are installed in front of every house, and it has been abandoned for many years and no one uses it. But wherever there is a well, even if it is a palace, there will be some bizarre rumors such as water demon cannibalism, in short, the well is a very good place, especially this kind of deep well. This village is no exception, generally parents will strictly order children not to play by the well, otherwise they will be harmed by the well demon, adults scare the children, they also gradually have a taboo, the old bachelor refuses to go down the well is also reasonable. I can't believe this kind of ghost story that deceives children, in my eyes, falling into a well is nothing more than falling into a well by oneself, or being caught in a well, and being caught in a well can be divided into living or dying.

Maybe the rope was tied too tightly just now, and combined with my own weight, I had some breathing difficulties. It's all down, so I can't care about it so much, the important thing is that there is nothing down there. If it's just some irrelevant clothes, even if it's a false alarm, you can go back early today, no matter what, you can still try to talk to your husband, I know that he is very entangled in making this decision, but we have never had children, and it is relatively easy to make a decision to break up.

As soon as people are distracted, they are prone to accidents, and my feet in rubber shoes suddenly slipped, causing my body to fall down all of a sudden, but fortunately, Lao Wang and they held the rudder on it: "Forensic doctor Su, are you okay?" Lao Wang's eager voice floated down from above, forming an echo in the long and narrow shaft.

My body swayed in the middle of the well, and I couldn't stop all of a sudden: "Safety! I said two words, and kicked the wall around the wall with my toes, trying to stop.

By this time, I had noticed that I was very close to the floating laundry, and I shone my flashlight downward, and it was a red plaid shirt! It's a big problem, Lily is wearing a red plaid shirt, and it seems that she can't get away with it.

"Put a little more!" I yelled at the top, and there was a reaction from above, and the rope sank a little more.

This time something is completely wrong, I already smell the faint smell of corpses, and the forensic doctor is extremely sensitive to this smell, so his profession dictates it. I suddenly thought about it, no, according to my experience, the temperature in this deep well should be very low, although it is summer, it can still be kept at more than ten degrees, if the body has been soaked in water at this temperature, it should not be so fast, let alone float up, because Lily's mother made it clear that she had a meal at home with her child at six o'clock last night. When I think of this, I still have a glimmer of hope.

I slipped the flashlight into the clasp next to the rank of the survey uniform, so that I had my hands free, I leaned forward, floated my legs, and then touched the wall of the well with my toes facing back, my body became relatively stable, and I began to check if there was a body under my clothes.

Although I wore latex gloves on my hands, the moment my middle finger touched the garment, I was already sure that the garment must be on the corpse, and the feeling of resistance was all too familiar, if it was just a garment floating on the surface of the well, there would be absolutely no such lag. Actually, I really hope that it is just a piece of clothing, even if it is Lily's clothes, there are still many possibilities if there is no body found, at least it is not immediately certain that the girl is dead, so that I can go back early today, but this gentle touch makes me completely cold, everything is impossible.

I took out my pocket camera and took a few pictures first, and now everything had to be done according to the standards of the homicide norms, and there was no need to be sloppy. After taking the photo, I tried to put my hands on both sides of the garment, and turned it over with force, and sure enough, it was Lily's face, and it was her who I had seen the photo.
