I don't like fishing and I don't have time to fish.

But I like to eat fish.

"Uncle, I heard that there are dead people in this lake...... I whispered, testing the reaction of the night fisherman.

After listening to me, the uncle did not have any obvious abnormalities, so that when he heard the news of the dead man, he just smiled faintly: "One day there will be no dead people......

"Uncle, there are dead people in this lake, aren't the fish you catch unlucky?" I continued to ask him.

"Your generation will feel bad when they have good living conditions and choices. Like when I was a child, when my family was poor and couldn't afford to eat and starved, even the wild vegetables that grew on the grave had to be dug up and eaten at home. Besides, there are so many ghosts and gods in the world, they are just scaring themselves. No one can guarantee that no dead person has ever been buried under his house. The uncle smiled, took the rod back, rehung the bait, and threw it back.

Uncle is right, there are no ghosts and gods in the world, but there are people who are more terrible than ghosts and gods.

"Now we have to believe in science, we have to believe in the self-purification ability of the lake water, and besides, this is living water, and grass carp do not eat carrion, so there will be no pollution, as long as the water quality is not polluted. In other words, where there are fish, the water quality is clean, or the fish would have died long ago! As the uncle was talking, the fish drift in the lake suddenly moved and sank to the bottom of the lake in an instant.

"Biting!"

The uncle was very excited, held the fishing rod with both hands, picked it hard, and a grass carp hung on the hook and kept flicking its tail.

"What a bumper harvest today!" The uncle threw the grass carp into the basket, continued to hang up the bait and threw the hook into the lake.

After saying goodbye to my uncle, I returned to the side of the road.

"How? What came out? Li Meng saw me coming back and hurriedly asked me.

I thought for a moment before answering her, "This is not the first place to dump a corpse. ”

"You're saying someone was carrying the body for a second throw?" Li Meng asked me immediately.

I shook my head and asked her, "Would you believe me if I said that the corpse would run on its own?" ”

"Can the corpse still run on its own? Could it be a zombie? Li Meng joked with a smile, but soon she understood the meaning of my words, there was living water here, and the corpses would be carried downstream by the current.

"It is impossible for the murderer to throw the body during the day, even if this is not the main road, but people come and go, and there will be people fishing and wild swimming, and it will inevitably be discovered, so I conclude that the murderer came to throw the body at night. But I just asked the uncle who fished here at night, and he said that there would be people here every night for night fishing, and they would all stay overnight and go home after dawn. How could a murderer complete the disposal of a corpse in such an environment? Moreover, the location where the body was salvaged was in the middle of the lake, how did a body with a heavy object thrown into the middle of the lake, could it be that the murderer had a boat? ”

I told Li Meng all my questions in a row, and she couldn't figure out what to hear for a while.

"So the murderer threw the body upstream, and the body was brought to this lake with the flowing water!" Li Meng thought about it himself, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he immediately understood what I meant.

"That's right! When the divers were salvaging the body today, did you take a closer look at the heavy object on the body? The stone was only five kilograms at best, because there was simply no bigger stone to be found near the lake. So I concluded that the murderer must have tied heavy objects to the hands and feet of the deceased, but the rope was not strong, and it was soaked and washed away by the river, and the weight on the body became lighter, so it was washed into the lake. Ling Gufeng said when he was doing a crime profile that the murderer was very familiar with the surrounding environment, and it was impossible for him not to know that once the body was washed up in the lake, it would definitely be found by people fishing and wild swimming. Therefore, this lake must not be the first place to dump corpses! ”

"But any location upstream of this lake may become a place to dump the corpse, and the two of us can't find it at all. Do you want to tell the news to the criminal police team and ask them to transfer someone to help with the investigation? Li Meng raised a key dilemma.

"There are two inevitable elements in throwing a body, the first is that it will not be found. Second: there is a walkable path to the site of the dumping. The murderer carries a dead man with him and does not take particularly rough roads. Through these two points, many places of corpse dumping can be ruled out. I pondered for a moment, and then said: "That's it for today, let's go back and carefully investigate the route of this lake through the map, and then talk about it tomorrow at dawn, the gambling game or anything is not as important as solving the case as soon as possible." ”

Early the next morning, we returned to the Public Security Bureau early. I was going to tell Lei Ji about what we found yesterday, but as soon as we entered the criminal police team of the Public Security Bureau, we heard a lot of noise inside.

"Could it be that this man fell from the sky?! Or did you cross over?! I can't even confirm the identity of the deceased, which really makes the serious crime team laugh at our incompetence! Lei Ji was so angry in the case analysis room that he was about to go crazy, and he drank mineral water with his hands on his waist.

"This ...... What's the situation? "Standing at the door, I saw Xiao Liu in the house who drove us out of the scene yesterday, and I waved to him.

Xiao Liu shook his head, quietly exited the case analysis room, and said helplessly: "The identity of the deceased has still not been found, and the face of the corpse is damaged, and it cannot pass the face recognition system." We investigated the recent reports of missing persons through the public security network system, and found a total of eight missing persons, but none of them matched the deceased in this case. ”

"Eight disappearances?" Li Meng first thought of the lady she saw in front of the Public Security Bureau yesterday.

"In other words, did the family of the deceased in this case not report the case?" I asked him.

According to the results of the autopsy by the medical examiner, the deceased was dead for more than 36 hours, which means that the deceased had been missing for at least two days. Such a big living person suddenly evaporated from the world, and no family members, relatives, friends, and colleagues called the police? !

Xiao Liu shrugged his shoulders and said he was helpless.

"What happened to those eight disappearances?" Li Meng asked, thinking very much about the eldest lady who lost her daughter.

Xiao Liu spread his hands: "Eight missing cases, the police stations in various jurisdictions have already filed and investigated. It's just that these eight missing cases have nothing in common, the occupations, ages, and genders of the missing persons are different, and there is nothing in common, and the time of disappearance also spans half a year, and the disappearance locations are distributed in different cities, so they are not characterized as serial cases and investigated for the time being. But at present, the progress of the investigation of each police station is not clear, and the police station in our jurisdiction has only received one case, that is, the lady you brought yesterday, which is already on file for investigation. ”

"It is necessary to confirm the identity of the deceased as soon as possible, and in addition, you notify the divers, arrange the diving equipment and be on standby at any time, there is something new on my side."
