Case 12: Chapter 1: Red Wine with the Smell of Corpses

The sky is clear, and the autumn is crisp.

I sat on the edge of the reservoir, and my heart was like the surface of the water, and there was anxiety hidden under the calm.

I looked up at the scorching autumn sun, which is known as the "Autumn Tiger".

I looked down at the rod and float that had been stationary for an hour.

He turned his head to look at Li Meng, who was wearing a sun hat and had a disdainful face beside him.

Finally, he looked back at Ren Qiushi and Zeng Lan, who were lighting a fire under the shade of a tree and preparing for an open-air barbecue.

"You're so stupid, it seems that this fish can't be eaten today, and a hundred yuan has been lost...... Li Meng shook his head, sighed helplessly, and turned away from me.

They were all gone, leaving me alone to sit here, sitting on the edge of the reservoir fishing like a lonely old man.

Our current location is a reservoir scenic spot in Ningzhou City, which is a resort for self-driving tours, a paradise for picnics, and you can also camp and row here. It's a bit of a pit for this fishing project, the boss said that a hundred yuan is unlimited for any time to fish, and you can eat it directly when you catch it, and they can also give free processing.

But I see, there doesn't seem to be a single fish in this reservoir.

My name is Qin Mu, a criminal policeman, a criminal policeman from the serious crime team. I never imagined that I would one day find myself in such an embarrassing situation.

Now I really regret why I promised Ren Qiushi to come out for a picnic in the first place.

This is the story, and it starts two days ago......

Two days ago, we had just finished the case of Shen Baijun's hypnotic murder and sent Ling Gufeng away. At this time, I should never have been idle and went to the forensic department.

"Old Qin!"

When Ren Qiushi saw me, he greeted me extremely warmly.

I've gotten used to his split-personality behavior, his seriousness at work, and his life like a happy retard.

"How is it, is Shen Baijun's case closed?" In the office of the forensic department, Ren Qiushi chatted with me very warmly.

"Although we have now obtained the relevant evidence, the evidence is not sufficient, and her lawyer is actively preparing materials to defend her innocence, and the specific verdict will wait for the outcome of the court's trial." I slumped weakly in my chair and let out a long sigh: "This Shen Baijun is a highly educated and highly intelligent person, her revenge plan is seamless, even if she is arrested now, she will definitely actively communicate with the lawyer, and even has already thought of a way to get rid of the crime." I'm just a police officer, responsible for finding out the truth of the case and arresting the criminals, and as for how the verdict is made, it's not up to me. ”

Ren Qiushi was silent for a long time, patted me on the shoulder and comforted: "Don't think about it so much, we are policemen, not gods." Nothing to do these days, rest well, go out for a walk. The day after tomorrow is Saturday, let's go out and relax together? How about a picnic? The weather is good this season, and it's not the peak tourist season, so let's go to the reservoir. ”

The more Ren Qiushi spoke, the more excited he became, and he had even begun to plan what he needed to bring that day.

"I'm not going, you guys go play." I waved my hand and got up to leave.

Ren Qiushi stretched out his hand and pressed me back into the chair, looking at his serious and firm gaze, I didn't resist again, for fear that if I insisted on leaving, he would make some "intimate moves" to me, this person is a schizophrenia, and a schizophrenia with the smell of corpses.

"Every time you promised to eat supper with me, you didn't eat it every time, and this time you can't run away. Don't worry, you don't have to prepare anything, leave it to me. When the time comes, I will call Li Meng again, let's go together, and I will ask Zeng Lan when I go back, see if she wants to go, how lively it is. Ren Qiushi muttered in my ear, when did this person become so talkative.

I ignored him, thinking about what excuse I should find.

He talked to himself for a long time, and suddenly approached me and said, "I've heard that you have a rival in love, and you are still a doctor!" I'm telling you, you've got to be stressed, be careful that the good girl is cheated by someone else. ”

"Go, go, I don't have time to talk to you."

……

I'm still sitting on the edge of the reservoir fishing, and the smell of meat skewers wafts behind me.

Leaving the matter of making meat skewers to Ren Qiushi and Zeng Lan, the two forensic doctors, is really doing their best, whether it is cutting or marinating, even barbecue is their specialty.

Damn, Ren Qiushi didn't wash his hands?!

Everything was ready, the blankets for the picnic were spread on the ground, filled with various snacks and drinks, and Ren Qiushi took out a bottle of red wine and four goblets from his backpack.

Barbecue with red wine, really has him.

"Come on, come on, cheers!"

The four of us sat on the blanket and raised our glasses together.

As soon as the red wine in the glass was in our mouths, the four of us turned around and spit it out at the same time.

"Damn, what does this smell like?!" I frowned, choking on the wine.

Li Meng's reaction was the greatest, the sour smell of the red wine was unbelievable, and she quickly opened a bottle of mineral water and rinsed her mouth desperately.

Zeng Lan also let out a few retching sounds, but after all, this was Ren Qiushi's red wine, and she didn't have any strong reactions, but she still couldn't help but feel sick to her stomach.

Ren Qiushi's first reaction was to spit out the red wine in his mouth, but he didn't have any expression, gently shook the red wine glass, and carefully observed the remaining red wine inside.

"You're murdering, tell me how many years has your red wine expired?" Li Meng used the bottle of mineral water in his hand to rinse his mouth, but he still felt a strange smell in his mouth.

"Are you bullying us for not understanding red wine, whose red wine tastes so disgusting!" I retched a few times, but luckily we hadn't started eating yet, otherwise it would have been very disgusting.

But judging from the expressions of several of us, it seems that we don't have much appetite to continue eating.

"Section Chief Ren, today's picnic plan has been ruined by your bottle of red wine." Zeng Lan couldn't help but complain.

The three of us complained as if he hadn't heard it, he raised his red wine glass, kept shaking, and looked at the sun carefully.

Finally, he took another sip under our surprised gaze.

"Don't be like this, no, it's just a bottle of red wine, maybe it's not stored properly and spoiled and expired......" I watched Ren Qiushi take another sip, and the powerful visual impact made me feel nauseous again.

Ren Qiushi had red wine in his mouth, tasted it carefully, didn't spit or swallow, just like that.

There is no way to describe the taste of this red wine, it is an indescribable liquid deterioration and sour smell, which can not be accepted just by smelling it from a distance, and Ren Qiushi can still hold it in his mouth and taste it carefully.

After a moment, Ren Qiushi frowned suddenly, turned around and spit out the red wine in his mouth, then picked up the mineral water and rinsed his mouth seriously.

He pondered for a moment, then suddenly looked at us earnestly.

That look makes people a little hairy.

"This red wine...... It seems to have the sour smell of corpses......"
