Jamaica Bay is a large nature reserve with about 50 square kilometers of sea area and dozens of marshy islands, which are the natural habitat of birds and hundreds of species of birds.

The New York City government has also been committed to protecting Jamaica Bay for a long time, strictly prohibiting the discharge of domestic sewage and dumping all kinds of garbage into the bay, violators will be punished with heavy fines, and the maximum fine can be bankrupt.

At least in China, if you want to buy a villa adjacent to the nature reserve, especially if it is located around the bustling commercial city, not to mention whether there is such a condition, even if there is, don't think about it without hundreds of millions.

And this villa is equivalent to more than 3 million Chinese dollars, which is about the same as picking up, of course, it is impossible to sell it at this price if you are not a haunted homeowner.

Thanks to the good protection, the waters of Jamaica Bay are very clear, but due to the limited light, the visibility is only about one meter, and Mu Qingcheng and Kelly quickly descend to the bottom of the sea.

The bottom of the sea is covered with a layer of silt, the fish and shrimp are frightened and bounced off, the aquatic plants are dense, and shellfish are attached, and the height of individual seaweeds exceeds the height of normal people, Kelly couldn't help but frown and looked at Mu Qingcheng.

This kind of environment is the most unfavorable kind of environment.

Mu Qingcheng waved his hand, pulled Kelly to swim aimlessly against the bottom of the sea, and after a while, he pulled Kelly's wrist, pointed upward, and signaled to go up.

"Whoa, whoa!" The two heads came out of the water one after another, Kelly shook violently, wiped the corners of her eyes, and said, "What's the matter, what are you hanging around at the bottom of the sea?"

Mu Qingcheng said lightly: "I found it." ”

"You're not joking, are you? Mu Qingcheng, I want you to be serious!" Kelly glared at Mu Qingcheng unhappily.

Obviously, the secret of the divine sense could not be said, Mu Qingcheng just explained: "I found a corner of a stone exposed, and there are almost no stones on the entire seabed, so it is likely to be the stone that tied Xie Lin's body. ”

"Oh, why didn't I see it, then let's go down!" Kelly's eyes flashed with suspicion, so she pulled Mu Qingcheng and hurriedly dived back into the sea.

Back at the bottom of the sea, Mu Qingcheng pushed aside the aquatic weeds, revealing the sharp corner of a small stone at the root, about the size of a child's fist, Kelly's eyes widened suddenly, she couldn't believe it, she could see it at such a small age, or hidden in the aquatic weeds, what kind of eyes is this!

Mu Qingcheng didn't care about her, and began to dig down on the right side of the stone, the mud and sand dyed the sea water gray-yellow, and when digging to a depth of thirty centimeters, a gray arm bone gradually showed its true body, because of the long-term immersion in the sea, the arm bone was corroded with some pits, and some places precipitated fine salt crystals, and the particles were large and small, distributed in rows.

This arm bone is slender, and with Kelly's experience, she can see at a glance that it is a female bone, and her expression is a little excited, but Mu Qingcheng's expression is still calm, and he carefully excavates the bone.

Kelly felt ashamed and joined the excavation.

Seawater is highly corrosive, but it can delay the rate of decay of tissues and organs, and on the skull of the brain, it is attached to the hair that has not yet decayed, which is very gritty.

The bones were soaked loosely, and they could not be removed completely, so they could only be put into a cloth bag one by one, and a nylon rope was tied to the bones of the left calf, which was completely in line with Xie Lin's description, and it was almost certain that this skeleton was Xie Lin's bones.

During this time, Kelly went up to change her breath five times, Mu Qingcheng changed it once, and the two of them were busy for a while, and finally put all the bones and nylon ropes into the cloth bag.

Mu Qingcheng swept it with his divine sense again, and made sure that there was no omission, so he beckoned Kelly to float his face.

"Let's go back!" Kelly gasped.

"Wait, I'll take that stone away, this is also an important evidence, you can take the cloth bag!" After Mu Qingcheng handed the cloth bag to Kelly, another fierce man plunged into the bottom of the sea.

The most difficult thing to move a stone from the bottom of the sea is how to move it, as long as the stone moves, it is easier to move it than on land, because the sea water is buoyant.

Mu Qingcheng held the edges and corners of the stone with both hands, and suddenly exerted a force, and a burst of mud and sand gushed out, and the stone floated upward, with buoyancy, Mu Qingcheng held the stone and swam hard, but his body was stagnant, and he found that there was a small piece of cloth at the bottom of the original stone, about the size of a finger, so he picked up the cloth and surfaced to the sea.

"Let's go!"

Mu Qingcheng snorted, then swam forward, holding dozens of catties of stones under the water with both hands, which was really unbearable for ordinary people.

Kelly also held the cloth bag and swam hard behind Mu Qingcheng, and after a while, the two went ashore and ran back to the villa.

Xie Lin was obviously restless, floating around the room, and when she saw Mu Qingcheng and Kelly, she suddenly showed excitement, stared at the cloth bag and said: "It's mine, I can feel my own breath, this is my bones." “

"Hey~~" Kelly sighed: "Xie Lin, I also confirm that this is your bone, but legally, you still need to do DNA comparison analysis with your relatives to determine, although this is a little unacceptable, but since you have gone through the judicial process, you must do this." “

Mu Qingcheng put down the stones, waved his hand and said, "Don't get excited, it's all in the bag, it's yours who can't run, should we wash the bones?"

"No!" Kelly shook her head: "Maybe there will be clues left on the bones, and then they will be washed after identification, and now they can't be taken to the police station, and when they have the specific information about Thompson, we will see the situation again, you first find a flat place to spread out the bones, I have to hurry up and take a hot shower." ”

"Okay. Mu Qingcheng took the cloth bag and said to Xie Lin: "Follow me upstairs." “

Kelly hurriedly rushed into the bathroom, and Xie Lin followed Mu Qingcheng upstairs to a secondary bedroom.

Mu Qingcheng took out the bones piece by piece and put them on the bed in the shape of a person, Xie Lin stood aside, looking at it in a daze, and his mood was extremely unstable, so Mu Qingcheng asked, "Xie Lin, do you remember your parents?"

Xie Lin's expression froze, showing a look of remembrance, and after a long time, she murmured: "My father's name is Xie Changhai, a professor of the Department of Basic Physics of the University of Science and Technology of China, and my mother's name is Yang Huizhen, and she is the deputy chief physician of Luzhou People's Hospital......

Luckily, I was admitted, and on the eve of my arrival in New York, my dad told me a lot of things and told me to return to China as much as possible, and I thought the same thing, to use a very cliché phrase, I was admitted to Columbia University with great ideals, but ......"

Xie Lin chattered endlessly, Mu Qingcheng listened attentively while assembling the bones, and gradually, a complete human form appeared on the bed.

Xie Lin suddenly smiled and said, "Mu Qingcheng, thank you." ”

This thank you has two meanings, one is to thank you for salvaging the bones, and the other is to thank Mu Qingcheng for being empathetic and diverting his attention, Mu Qingcheng also smiled and said: "Whether it is a person or a ghost, you must always look forward, you go down first, I will go back to the room to take a bath." ”

"Hmm~~" Xie Lin nodded lightly and floated downstairs.
