61. Drowned rats

As soon as I saw this group of small white fish clustered in the aquatic grass, I knew that I had found my target.

This small white fish is commonly known as "Baitiao" in my hometown, and is called "Xiaochuantiao" or "Chuantiaozi" in Sichuan and Chongqing, and it is the most common fish in the water.

This kind of fish and meat is not taboo, you can eat everything, and it has a characteristic - you love to eat fishy.

For this reason, once a floating corpse floats in the water, especially a rotting corpse that has been soaked for several days, it will definitely attract a group of white stripes to eat.

When I looked closer, I saw a miserable white thing sticking out of the depths of the aquatic weeds, like a dead branch, and wasn't it a dead man's arm?

I knew that Xiao Liang was timid, so I hurriedly said to her: "If you are afraid, close your eyes, Sister Hong's object has been found." ”

Xiao Liang also guessed a rough idea, pointed to this aquatic weed and asked, "You mean, Sister Hong's object is entangled in this aquatic weed?" ”

I said no, don't you see his arms are exposed?

After speaking, he pointed to Xiao Liang, and Xiao Liang saw that his pretty face suddenly became as white as paper, and he was so frightened that he quickly turned his back and didn't look at it.

I laughed and teased, "How can you be a police officer with such guts?" You didn't think about it when you first chose a major, did you? ”

Xiao Liang said unconvinced: "Don't laugh at me, don't look at me now, I'll be able to practice it in a few years." ”

While talking to her, I took off my clothes, and then went into the water with a sickle, drove away the white fish clustered around the aquatic weeds, and began to clear the dense aquatic weeds.

After cutting a few stubbles of aquatic weeds, the victims who were entangled in them surfaced.

Because after soaking in the river for three days and three nights, the poor man's body was already swollen, and his whole body was bulging like a balloon, and a pair of eyes were staring out of his sockets.

Not to mention that Xiao Liang would be scared of this appearance, even people like me, who are used to seeing drowned ghosts, can't help but gasp.

After cutting off all the aquatic plants around him, I didn't drag his body directly, but climbed back to the boat first.

There are many taboos in the body recovery industry, the most important of which is not to directly touch the body of the deceased.

Uncle Mei's corpse ship was a relatively new model at the time, and this style of corpse ship was equipped with a cabin below deck.

Interested friends can go to the Internet to search for related videos, until recent years, most of the corpse collectors still use this style of corpse boat.

When retrieving the body, first open the hatch of the cabin, then hang the corpse with a hook, drag it into the cabin, and then close the hatch, so that it is convenient and decent, the best of both worlds.

I opened the door to the cabin and began to operate it expertly, but just as I was dragging the body over, I suddenly noticed something.

I saw that the deceased's fingers were thin and long, and the palm muscles were quite full, which was somewhat similar to the hands of the thin monkey caught by the tiger baby before, and such a pair of hands was not common.

When I saw these hands, my heart chuckled, and I couldn't help but have doubts.

I hurriedly poked Xiao Liang with my elbow and said, "Xiao Liang, look! ”

Xiao Liang asked a little apprehensively, "What are you looking at?" Look at the dead body? Chen Rongsheng, don't mess with me......"

I was speechless and said, "I'm not messing with you, look at his hands, why do I think this dead man is a bit like a mouse?" ”

When Xiao Liang heard this, he reluctantly turned around and looked at the floating corpse with fear.

After carefully examining the corpse's hands, Xiao Liang also felt that these hands were different from ordinary people.

"You see that he has a lot of abrasion scars on his hands, I heard Jiang Yongguang say that these scars are left when they open the coffin upside down, and they are usually only on the hands of tomb robbers."

After hearing this and thinking about it carefully, I couldn't help but light up and couldn't help but pat my thigh and laugh.

"Hahaha! What does it mean to step on iron shoes and find nowhere to find, and it takes no effort to get them! This person is not the object of Sister Hong at all, he is a mouse! I said excitedly.

Xiao Liang tilted his head and asked, "Chen Rongsheng, do you mean to say that we have fished the wrong person?" didn't catch Sister Hong's object, but hit it crookedly and caught a mouse? ”

I shook my head and said, "No, we didn't fish for the wrong person, I seriously doubt that the corpse that Sister Hong entrusted us to fish up is this one." It's just that she didn't tell the truth, this corpse was not her object at all, but a tomb robber! ”

Xiao Liang squinted his eyes and thought about it, and suddenly realized, and said in a low voice: "I understand, you mean that Sister Hong and Shopkeeper Wang are together!" ”

I nodded again and again, "Clever! Have you noticed, Sister Hong's massage shop is located near the Duck River in Hongyan Town, and from her massage parlor, you can see most of the riverside. And Sister Hong's nature of work, sitting in the store from morning to night and looking outside, isn't this equivalent to letting off steam? ”

"Makes sense! Sister Hong is letting off steam! That's right, a masseuse like Sister Hong suddenly moved to a town, it will definitely not arouse suspicion, no one can guess that she is actually a tomb robber, and she usually comes into contact with many and miscellaneous people, which is also convenient for finding out the news. The more Xiao Liang thought about it, the more reliable he felt.

I said: "On the first day I came to Yazihe, Sister Hong came over and took the initiative to talk to me, I thought she was just soliciting customers, but now I know that she is probing my tone. Fortunately, I disguised it well and didn't show it. ”

Xiao Liang pointed to the corpse and guessed: "This person should be drowned during the tomb robbery, the corpse was washed out of the tomb and floated to the Duck River, the tomb robbery gang was worried that the corpse would be discovered and their traces exposed, so they asked Sister Hong to make up a lie and ask us to salvage the corpse and destroy the body before it was discovered." ”

I nodded, and said more and more excitedly: "It seems that it is true that Master Gao has two acupoints in one hand, and another ancient Shu tomb is in this water!" ”

After some discussion, the truth gradually came out.

But we can't act rashly yet, because Jiang Yongguang once said that a huge tomb robbery gang is likely to have more than one person.

Even if we guess Sister Hong's true identity, we can't easily attack her, after all, we don't know how many rats are quietly staring at us in the shadows.

In the end, Xiao Liang and I decided that we would not move first, cooperate with Sister Hong's acting, and follow the vine to see if we could get more information.

The body of the rat was loaded into the cabin, and we rowed back against the current.

Sister Hong was still standing on the shore waiting at this time, and when she saw us coming back, the draft of the corpse fishing boat was much deeper, and she knew that we were not returning empty-handed.

"How? Got it? Sister Hong asked nervously.

I nodded and said, "I got it, but I'm not sure if it's yours, so take a look." ”

After saying that, he docked the boat and dragged the body out of the cabin.

As a result, when Sister Hong saw the swollen face of the mouse, she cried on the spot, wiped her tears and nodded: "It's him, this is my hard-working man...... Alas! Why are you so stupid! Say jump into the river, jump into the river! How can you let me explain to your parents! ”

Xiao Liang and I both admired Sister Hong's acting skills, and this crying was actually sincere, just like the real thing, beating many female actors today.

In order not to let Sister Hong see the flaws, I still had to cooperate with her performance, I walked over and patted her on the shoulder, and comforted her softly: "People can't be resurrected after death, mourn." ”

Xiao Liang asked her if she needed to help deal with the aftermath, and Sister Hong hurriedly waved her hand and said, "No need, this won't bother you, you can leave people here, and I'll find a few friends to come over and transport them back to my hometown in a while." ”
