When we say this, we become wary and sniff again.

I'm a forensic doctor, and I'm definitely more sensitive to the smell of blood than anyone else, but I didn't notice anything this time, let alone them.

I honestly shook my head first, indicating that I didn't find it. Others have also taken a stand.

Jiang Shaoyan ignored us, focused on the surface of the lake, snorted, and asked Zhao Qiansun Li again, "Is the water burial site in Xiaguang Town here?" ”

Police Officer Zhao replied, "This place is too close to the entrance of the cave, and it is not the best place to bury people. ”

Jiang Shaoyan nodded, and said to the iron donkey, "Take the guy's business, I bet there is a cat under the water." ”

They immediately got ready. They had ropes and iron octopus in their backpacks, but after assembling them, new problems arose. It's easy to throw these things into the air and hook them onto something or something, but water is buoyant and it's a bit of a struggle to throw them into it.

They also had a trick, rowing together to the cave wall, and with the sharpness of their daggers, they cut off several angular stones.

They tied the stone to the rope to increase the force of the fall, and then one of them aimed at one place and threw the iron claws down.

I watched with Zhao Qian and Sun Li. The rope tied to the iron octopus is very special, not only is it thin and strong, but there are some small knots on it every meter, which can test the length.

I counted eleven knots, and the iron claws reached the bottom of the lake, in other words, the water was quite deep.

Jiang Shaoyan and the iron donkey slowly shook the rope, so that the iron octaws could grasp it in a small area at the bottom of the lake. It's just a pity that they were so busy that they didn't catch anything.

But they did not give up, re-retracted the ropes, and threw each of them against another lake.

This time, the iron donkey found something and said to us, "I've hooked something." ”

Jiang Shaoyan stopped what he was doing and hurried over to illuminate it, while I went up to take the handle and poured the rope up with the iron donkey.

I could feel that the hook was quite heavy, and soon, I saw a dark shadow appear in the lake.

We didn't let up and continued to pour back. Gradually, the dark shadow became more pronounced, and what I couldn't stand was that I saw a face, which seemed to have no eyes, and a large slit in the head, in which the iron claws were hooked.

I'm depressed, and my heart says it's too coincidental, right? Isn't it good to hook here, isn't it just to scare us in advance?

I'm afraid that the four policemen Zhao Qian, Sun and Li will be scared when they see such a bloody corpse, and I will also say a word and give them vaccinations.

Unexpectedly, what I said made the four of them curious, especially Police Officer Zhao also probed forward and was very close to the side of the ship.

I don't want to emphasize anything, I muttered in my heart, this fat man will be scared and fall into the water for a while, and he will be to blame.

With a bang, the body came out of the water, and the iron donkey and I were not disgusted, and we carried him to the boat. Zhao Qian, Sun Li, and they were indeed a little chaotic, but nothing went wrong.

We looked at the corpse together. He was almost naked, his clothes and pants were mostly rotten, and his face was slightly swollen.

Police Officer Zhao was the first to sigh, I don't know what happened to him, and looked up at him.

Surprised, he pointed to the corpse and said, "Isn't this a pillar?" I was just buried in water a while ago, why did I appear here? ”

Xiaguang Town is not very big, and the other policemen also know the pillar, this is good, they are nervous again, some people are talking about those things just now, it must have been caused by the pillar, and he turned into a ghost to scare us.

The four men said good things about the pillar again and again. We don't think so, Jiang Shaoyan also said to Zhao Qian and Sun Li, "Calm down!" Don't mess around! ”

After a while, they calmed down.

Jiang Shaoyan pointed to the corpse of the pillar and said, "Since this is not an altar, why did the corpse suddenly come here?" There must be something strange, in addition, the lake surface bubbled with a bloody smell just now, which also tells us that there are a lot of corpses below, so let's let Xiao Leng do an autopsy, let's start from this aspect to find out the reason, what do you think? ”

I looked at them. Zhao Qiansun Li was silent for a while, and then nodded one after another.

In fact, I didn't say a word in my heart, but fortunately it was the pillar that was pulled out this time, and there was no immediate family relationship with these policemen, otherwise they would probably not let the autopsy.

I didn't bother anymore, and quickly did a corpse examination of the corpse of the pillar first.

The first thing I looked at was the eye socket and found that there was no sign of injury to the surrounding soft tissues and bones, which means that the eyeball was cut cleanly, and it was likely that an eyeball fixator and eyeball cutter were used.

Based on that alone, I was sure that this was a good deed done by the Demon Heart Arhats, and then I looked at the corpse's brain.

I remember that the brain of the child corpse found by Zhao Sijia was taken away, why is the pillar so special, the skull is split, but the brain is not taken away?

I used a flashlight to illuminate it and found a tumor in his cerebral cortex.

I asked Officer Zhao, "How did the pillar die?" ”

He replied, "I was coughing and chest tightness before, but when I went to a foreign hospital for a check, the doctor said that it was an advanced stage of lung cancer, and the cancer cells were flying." ”

I see, the Demon Heart Arhat must have found a tumor, and they are still very picky, and they are not interested in this sick brain.

But at the same time, I thought of a question and asked Zhao policeman, "How long has the pillar been buried in water?" ”

Police Officer Zhao calculated a little and replied, "It's been half a month." ”

I wondered, my heart said half a month? The corpse should be highly decomposed, and there will even be a giant view, that is, there are characteristics such as swollen face, turned lips outward, thickened limbs, swollen and spherical pussy, etc., but the corpse in front of him, except for a little edema, why is there no trend in this area at all?

Jiang Shaoyan thought of a piece with me, pointed to the corpse's brain and said to me, "Make a slice of it." ”

I quickly took out a scalpel and small tweezers from my chest pouch and cooperated. Finally, I used forceps to extract a small strip of brain tissue.

We all got closer. The first thing I noticed was that the brain tissue was not the right color, it was slightly darker, and I carefully sniffed it closely, and there was a pungent smell.

When I talked about these two phenomena, Jiang Shaoyan had a guess and asked me, "Is it the smell of formalin?" ”

I'm not sure, because the pectoral sac space is limited, and there is really no drug specifically to test it, so I can only answer, "Quite possibly." ”

In this way, I have another question, formalin is also a formaldehyde aqueous solution, even if the Demon Heart Arhat intends to steal the pillar corpse from the burial table, and after taking away the eyeballs, they will put formalin on the corpse as a preservative, but if it is discarded at the bottom of the lake and soaked in water, formalin should have dispersed a long time ago, why is there so much formalin in his brain?

I was blind for a while, but Jiang Shaoyan interrupted me and reminded, "Cut again!" ”

I was ruthless, this time I cut deeper, and I also took out a long piece of brain tissue. Originally, I didn't have much hope, thinking that this piece of brain tissue was not found except for formalin.

But I saw a little drum in the slice, which a normal brain shouldn't have.

I hurriedly spread the slice on the side of the boat and scratched it around it with my scalpel, and this time it was obvious, and a translucent miniature meatball was squeezed out of it.

I asked Jiang Shaoyan to take a good look with a flashlight, and found that there was a bug sealed inside.

There are not only tumors in the brains of the pillars, but also this kind of ghostly thing. The iron donkey came up with an idea and said to me, "Apprentice, smell it again." ”

I gave him a blank look, and said in my heart that whose nose is not a nose, won't it smell a smell?

But at this time, I didn't push back, and I also guarded against it, who knows what this insect looks like? Don't put it in front of or behind my nose and it suddenly bounces and flies into my nostrils.

I found a silver needle and stabbed it hard at the little meatball. Not to mention, this bug is really alive, struggling with pain before dying.

I poked it patiently several times, and when I was sure that it was dead, I wanted to get closer and smell it, but the formaldehyde smell on its body was too great, and I didn't get close to it, so I couldn't help it.

I told the others about the situation, and Jiang Shaoyan replied calmly that he knew. And I suddenly had a thought, looked at the corpse of the pillar in disbelief, and said that the formaldehyde on his body could not be secreted by this bug, right? So how many little meatballs does he have?

I also wanted to dissect the chest and abdomen of the pillar, and take a good look at it, but Jiang Shaoyan waved his hand and said no.

He called the iron donkey together, leaned the boat against the cave wall again, and tied a rope to the pillar carcass, the end of which was also firmly tied to the rock wall.

In this way, the pillar is temporarily launched and stored here, I understand what Jiang Shaoyan means, and when we go back after completing the task, we will notify the pillar's family and let them bury the pillar again.

Jiang Shaoyan was very interested in this lake, and asked the iron donkey to take out the iron eight claws and throw them underwater. Zhao Qiansun Li had just heard my autopsy analysis, and this kind of scientific testing made them less scared, and they also rowed together to let the boat get close to us.

It can be seen that the four of them want to help, but Jiang Shaoyan and Tie Donkey have no intention of being replaced.

The iron donkey's "luck" was so good, and after a while, he made a discovery.

It's the same as just now, I toss the rope upside down with the iron donkey and pulls this thing up.

I could feel that the hook was very light this time, and it was estimated that it was less than half the weight of the corpse of the pillar.

Gradually, a dark shadow appeared underwater, and I looked at the silhouette and guessed that it was a child.

When I got closer, I was surprised, there was a small face under the water, but it was furry on it.

I was stunned for a while, and I also reminded everyone, "This time it's a child's corpse with long corpse hair, so get ready." ”

Zhao Qian, Sun Li, and they were a little commotion, and Jiang Shaoyan and Tie Donkey were very steady. With a thud, the body came out of the water.

Just looking at its head, I became the focus of everyone's attention for a while. All eyes were on me.

The iron donkey pointed to the head and said, "Apprentice, are you sure this is a child?" ”
