Chapter 1 The corpse hangs on the tree
Tuesday, September 27, 2010
Kotoshima City.
Qidong County.
It's raining.
Raindrops hit the concrete floor, splashing some sand from time to time.
Zhou Ning quickened his pace, rushed into a small two-story building surrounded by green vines, stomped on the sand and rain that burst on his feet, and when he saw someone coming downstairs, he quickly turned sideways, even if he didn't know him, he nodded with a smile.
Walked to the easternmost side of the second floor, opened a dilapidated office with the key, and as the door closed, the smile on Zhou Ning's face was also put away.
Glancing at the mop at the door and then at the rain outside the window, Zhou Ning directly turned on the air conditioner and sat at the desk in the corner.
opened the book "Bone Age Identification - Chinese Adolescent Bone X-ray Library" on the big-bellied monitor, and there was a copy of "Tomb Robbery Notes" in it, and found the position where he had read it before, Zhou Ning exhaled comfortably.
Zhou Ning is a new forensic doctor in Qidong County.
He is handsome and tall, and graduated from graduate school.
It is said that Zhou Ning is lucky.
After all, this year is the first year that the public examination has been implemented, and he was recruited into the forensic office of the Qidong County Criminal Police Brigade and has become a civil servant who is envied by people.
But......
How do outsiders know that his professional grades are stretched, and he finally graduated with a uniform development of two failed courses every year.
It's not because he saw a scene that shouldn't be watched, the tutor was jealous, and the tutor wouldn't sign his paper that the donkey's lips were not the right for the horse's mouth.
As for the public examination, it is also hopeless to go to a first-tier city, and he wanders around in the society for a year, and finally I heard from the second uncle that Qidong County recruits forensic doctors, and he is the only one who has a professional counterpart.
Moreover, there are only two people in the so-called forensic office of the Criminal Police Brigade, except for Zhou Ning, who is the forensic doctor who took his master, Liu Yongxin Liu.
I have been here for more than half a month, and I haven't seen the hair of the corpse.
His master, Forensic Doctor Liu, is good, but he is old and in poor health, and he runs to the hospital every once in a while.
In the afternoon, he is always left alone in this office, but there is not a single case these days, but I don't know why Forensic Doctor Liu didn't come today.
Pushing his glasses, he sighed slightly, his expression was worried, and he couldn't read the book anymore.
There is one thing, he didn't tell anyone, as long as Zhou Ning raised his hand to push his glasses, a transparent display screen would appear in front of him, with a line of green words on it, "The system has been loaded 99%".
From the day of graduation, it was like this, except that initially the system was loaded at 1%, and more than a year later, it was loaded to 99%.
What the hell is this, Zhou Ning doesn't understand.
He also tried changing his glasses or wearing contact lenses, but as long as he shook his hand next to his head or pushed his glasses, the display still appeared, and no one else could see it.
From the initial panic and worrying about not being able to sleep for a few days, now Zhou Ning has been able to agree with the existence of this thing, and even has a little expectation, after all, I don't know what this thing is?
Just thinking about it.
The desk landline rang.
Zhou Ning was stunned, and quickly got up and grabbed the microphone.
"Hello, medical examiner's office."
"Hello? That one...... Xiao Zhou, right, what about Forensic Doctor Liu? ”
Zhou Ning remembered this voice, this person was Xu Dayuan, the captain of the Qidong County Criminal Police Brigade, who had met him when he came to report, and his loud voice was impressive.
"Xu Da, Forensic Doctor Liu hasn't arrived yet, why don't I call his mobile phone and ask?"
Xu Dayuan on the opposite side paused.
"Forget it, his mobile phone is turned off, you go downstairs, there is a case, follow over and have a look."
The phone hung up like this, Zhou Ning was a little excited, and there was a hint of nervousness.
Grass, after half a month, there is finally a case.
Picked up the mobile phone, grabbed the survey box on one side, and the SLR camera in the cabinet, and rushed out of the office.
When I got downstairs, I saw Xu Dayuan standing in the courtyard, waving to several criminal policemen.
"Get in the car, go directly to the scene, and forensic doctor Xiao Zhou will be with me."
Everyone got into the car, Zhou Ning held the survey box, sat on Xu Dayuan's co-pilot, and with the whistle of the siren, the car rushed out with a sharp turn.
Zhou Ning's body was crooked, and he quickly grabbed the handle above the car door to keep his body balanced, this eagerness made Zhou Ning's heart tremble.
"What's Xu's case?"
Xu Dayuan glanced at it and didn't answer Zhou Ning's question.
"Forensic doctor Xiao Zhou, when you were interning before, did you handle the case with you?"
Zhou Ning cleared his throat and tried to calm himself down.
"When I was an intern, I dealt with three cases, a corpse mutilation case, which lasted three months, and the case was solved, and there was a ......"
Before Zhou Ning could finish searching for memories, Xu Dayuan interrupted him.
"Cheng, it's not bad to be able to see the corpse crushing case, this psychological quality is good, when you get to the scene in a while, you can see something, just take a look, the traffic police said that a corpse was found on the side of the road, and it is being monitored."
"Huh?"
Zhou Ning was stunned.
Suddenly I had a bad premonition, could it be that the starting point I just boasted was a little high?
"Nei, Xu Da, aren't we waiting for my master?"
"The case can't wait, we have to deal with it here as soon as possible, and there are a lot of onlookers."
Zhou Ning panicked.
In Xu Dayuan's sentence, too much information was revealed, and there were many onlookers, that is, the case was not in the wilderness, and the case could not wait, that is, the scene was tragic and must be dealt with quickly.
Just as I was thinking about it, the car had stopped.
The intersection was isolated by the yellow cordon, and outside the cordon, there were people who were pressed down.
After all, it is a local, Zhou Ning identified it a little, and he could see that this is the crossroads by the North Outer Ring Viaduct, on both sides of the Outer Ring Road, on one side is the industrial park, and on the other side is the village at the junction of urban and rural areas.
Xu Dayuan had already gotten out of the car, and it was too late for Zhou Ning to say anything at this time, and there was no way to retreat, so he could only carry the survey box and follow down.
Xu Dayuan waved his hand to the criminal policeman behind him, frowned and ordered:
"Hurry up, clean up the onlookers at the scene for me, what's going on, don't you know how to protect the scene?"
A roar, and it worked.
The crowd of onlookers who watched the excitement around them dispersed more than half in an instant, and even if there were good believers left, they retreated more than ten meters, or simply stood on various high places on the opposite side of the road and looked this way.
"Forensic doctor Xiao Zhou, do you have a mask? Give them a handout. ”
Zhou Ning came to his senses, quickly opened the investigation box, and handed a pack of masks to a criminal policeman who walked over, and the man distributed the masks.
Zhou Ning looked up again, and there was no one around the intersection, but he didn't see the corpse at all, and he didn't know where these people were looking around here.
He put on a mask and latex gloves by himself, the more he tried to calm himself down, the more uncontrollable his heart beat faster, he took a deep breath, lifted the cordon with the investigation box, and walked to Xu Da far and near.
"Xu Da, where is the body?"
Xu Dayuan put his hand on Zhou Ning's shoulder and pointed to a plane tree beside him.
"See, the corpse is hanging on a tree."
Zhou Ning followed the direction pointed by Xu Dayuan, took two steps forward and looked over, just on a plane tree beside them, one and a half meters above the ground, where a white leg hung there.
From this angle, only the legs of the deceased can be seen, slender ankles, straight calves, wearing dark blue Converse canvas shoes on his feet, and white socks with purple-black blood stains.
Zhou Ning seemed to be frozen, and his breathing paused.
It was not fear, but the visual impact that filled his chest with suppressed emotions for a while.
He raised his hand and pushed a handful of glasses.
At this moment, the transparent display in front of me reappeared, but the loading progress on it had become 100%, and a voice filled my ears.
"Drop, the system has been loaded and is starting."
A few lines of text appeared on the display.
Forensic culture system.
Binding: Zhou Ning
Age: 26 years old
Forensic Level: -2
Overall Rating:......
Mission: Touch the corpse and perform a body autopsy.
Completion Rewards: Random rewards will be given according to the completion situation.
Zhou Ning was stunned, after more than a year of loading, he didn't expect that the moment he saw the corpse, this thing was actually loaded, but what does -2 of this forensic level mean?
Think Zhou Ning is a scumbag?
Zhou Ning made a mistake, okay, it's very objective, this is not exaggerated or belittled, but what the hell are the six points of this comprehensive evaluation?
Speechless?
I've been ridiculed by a system......
