The four of them held their breath and nervously waited for the big fish to surface.

Slowly, I finally saw a large black fish-like thing floating closer and closer to the water. The four of them screamed in fright almost at the same time, and the fishing rod in Li Bing's hand was thrown far away, and it turned out that the black piece turned out to be a large piece of long hair floating under the water.

The four of them sat on the narrow fishing platform, only to see that the long hair floated under the water, and the originally clear lake around them was also covered with some black mud and blisters.

It was a woman's head, and the long black hair floated on the water, fluttering with the slight ripples of the water, and the face of the female corpse covered by the long hair could not be seen, nor could the body of the female corpse be seen clearly.

With the exclamation of everyone, they attracted nearby anglers, and they all set their eyes on Li Bing and the four of them. When they heard that it was a corpse, they all screamed, and also attracted the shopkeepers and leisure customers on the shore.

After a difficult half hour, three police cars finally roared. The police asked a boatman to take the four people from the fishing platform back to shore, and then asked several boatmen to help transport the bodies to shore.

Subsequently, the two policemen put on diving suits, drilled into the icy water, and after more than half an hour of fishing, they finally found a firewood knife commonly used by mountain people, a few clothes full of mud, a very heavy bluestone and several sections of rope that rotted and broke into several pieces.

The woman's body was lying on her back on the sand on the shore, beginning to decompose, but she could still be distinguished. A stream of sludge slowly flowed out of the woman's mouth, and the two eyes were already sunken in, and only two gray-white eye sockets could be seen. The female corpse's hair was mixed with a few water weeds, and although the clothes on her body were in tatters, it was still conceivably fashionable. There was only one high heel on his foot, and the other was gone, leaving only one foot that was white and swollen from the lake.

The police taped around the cordon, and all the curious people surrounded the cordon, curiously talking to each other.

An older policeman took out a record book, carefully questioned Li Bing and his party of four about the corpse, and then recorded them one by one very seriously.

Just when a policeman kept taking pictures of the female corpse from different angles with a single-lens reflex machine, the old couple who received Li Bing and them stared at the female corpse outside the cordon for a long time, and suddenly rushed through the cordon, and several policemen hurriedly stopped them.

The old lady cried bitterly and cried to the police that the female corpse might be his daughter-in-law, Sun Mei, who had been missing for three years.

One of the policemen in the head suddenly perked up, waved his hand, and the policemen let go of the two old couples.

The two old couples walked up to the female corpse, weeping bitterly, and kept looking around the female corpse.

At this time, the captain of the criminal police asked in a calm voice: "Two old people, do you recognize the body as your missing daughter-in-law?" ”

The two old couples hugged their heads and cried for a while, sobbing and said to the captain of the criminal police: "Comrade policeman, she is the hard-working daughter-in-law of our family. Although she didn't abide by women's morals after marrying into our family, she was still our daughter-in-law after all. I don't know which god killed me so ruthlessly, but I was able to do this ruthlessly, and I also sank my daughter-in-law's body in the reservoir. Comrade policeman, you have to make my daughter-in-law the master, find out the murderer, and bring it to justice. ”

The captain of the criminal police nodded and said, "Two old men, how can you be sure that the female corpse is your daughter-in-law?" ”

The old lady cried: "Comrade policeman, although the body is a little decomposed, it is obvious that it is my daughter-in-law." Besides, the clothes on her body and the high heels were the ones she wore on the day she disappeared. You won't admit your mistake, comrade policeman, and be the master of our family. ”

The captain of the criminal police nodded to a female criminal policeman, and the female criminal policeman understood, and immediately stepped forward, comforting the two old couples while helping them to walk outside the cordon.

Not long after, the forensic doctor who performed the post-mortem at the scene reported to the head of the criminal police: "The body has begun to decompose, but it may be that the water temperature at the bottom of the lake is low, so it is still well preserved." The time of death of the body is uncertain, and it will be brought back to the bureau for further identification. According to the investigation, the body suffered a blunt object blow to the head and had multiple stab wounds on its body. It is supposed that after the body was knocked unconscious by a blunt object, it was brutally killed by the murderer with a firewood knife. Then the murderer tied the body to a large bluestone and sank to the bottom of the lake. Because of the passage of time, the rope rotted and broke, it happened that the four tourists were fishing in the place where the corpse was sunk, the fishing hook hung the corpse, the rope was broken by the external force due to the decay, and broke free from the shackles of the bluestone slab, which was pulled out of the water by the fishing hook. ”

The captain of the criminal police did not say a word, and suddenly walked to the shop of the two old couples, and looked thoughtfully at a pit that was no longer obvious.

The captain of the criminal police looked at it for a while, turned his head and said to the two policemen beside him: "Go, bring the bluestone slab where the corpse was tied." ”

After a while, the two criminal policemen looked up at the bluestone slab and carefully put it into the pit, but they didn't expect it to match amazingly. The captain of the criminal police stretched his brows and asked the surrounding onlookers, "Who is the head of this family?" ”

Someone on the side immediately said: "This is the family of the two old couples just now, and the deceased is the daughter-in-law of this family." ”

The captain of the criminal police frowned, and saw from a distance that the two old couples were still sitting on the ground crying, and said to the person who had just replied: "In this family, apart from the two old couples, who else is there?" ”

The man hurriedly replied, "There is also their son, named Wang Gensheng, who is usually very honest. In the past, when his daughter-in-law hooked up with a man who often came to the mountains, this stupid boy often hid behind the mountain alone and cried. ”

The captain of the criminal police walked quickly to the two old couples who were crying bitterly and asked, "May I ask the two old men, where is your son Wang Gensheng now?" ”

The two old men didn't seem to hear it, and someone on the side whispered: "When the female corpse was salvaged just now, that Wang Gensheng was still watching in the crowd, and now I don't know where to go." Comrade policeman, could it be that Wang Gensheng killed his daughter-in-law and then sank her body? ”

The captain of the criminal police said with a gloomy face: "Before the results of the investigation come out, don't talk nonsense." ”

When the two old couples slowly calmed down, the captain of the criminal police stepped forward and carefully inquired about the situation of their family.

When showing the firewood knife that sank to the bottom of the lake with the corpse, the two old couples immediately recognized that this was exactly what their son Wang Gensheng used to use when he went up the mountain to collect firewood, but he hadn't seen it for two or three years.

The captain of the criminal police stared at the faces of the two old men tightly, and said word by word: "Two old men, you must be mentally prepared, judging from various signs, it was your son Wang Gensheng who killed his daughter-in-law and then threw her body at the bottom of the lake. ”

"What?" The two old men exclaimed in unison: "That's impossible, although my son hates his daughter-in-law for messing with flowers and grass, but he has been honest and honest since he was a child, how can he kill people?" ”

The two old men pulled the clothes of the criminal police captain like crazy, crying and beating the criminal police captain. The captain of the criminal police frowned and said nothing, and the two criminal policemen on the side hurriedly came over and pulled away the two old men.

The captain of the criminal police instructed the three criminal policemen to immediately find Wang Gensheng's whereabouts, and then asked the female criminal policeman to patiently do the ideological work of the two old men, asking them to recall what was wrong when his daughter-in-law disappeared three years ago.

After some comfort and enlightenment, the old couple gradually calmed down and began to tell the female detective about the situation when their daughter-in-law disappeared.

After listening to this, the suspicion in their hearts had completely dissipated and became brighter.

It turned out that on the night of Sun Mei's disappearance, the two old couples heard a fierce quarrel between the young couple, and the two old men kept sighing in the downstairs room. They are used to this kind of scene, and even quite numb.

The old couple also hated the daughter-in-law for not keeping the woman's way, but the people in the mountains always felt that the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, so they endured this and just pretended not to know, not to mention that the daughter-in-law was also very beautiful, but the son of his own family was so wooden. Sure enough, they are going to divorce their daughter-in-law, and I don't know if my son can marry a daughter-in-law, so the old couple is just sad in their hearts, but they don't interfere much.

After a long time, I only heard a few muffled sounds from my son's and daughter-in-law's room upstairs, and suddenly everything calmed down. The old couple breathed a sigh of relief, shook their heads and looked at each other with a wry smile, and their hearts settled down a little, and the young couple finally reconciled.

The next day, the old couple couldn't help but wonder when they saw that their son got up very early, and his son, who never liked to clean, tidied up the house.

Wang Gensheng told his parents that from now on, he would be determined to make a career and transform his home into a small hotel for fishing and leisure guests. The old couple was full of joy when they heard it, but they didn't see their daughter-in-law, so they didn't feel a little strange.

Wang Gensheng showed a trace of panic on his face, and told his parents hesitantly that his daughter-in-law Sun Mei had a quarrel with him and ran away overnight.
