Chapter 13: Qinghe

It was raining, the sky and the earth were dark, and the rain was connected together, like a big net, hanging in front of me.

The rain is getting heavier and heavier, and there seems to be a tendency to prepare for the next night.

The muffled sound of the rain crashing on my raincoat interfered with my hearing. The cold wind blew from the depths of the woods, and the rain slanted and slammed down on my face, down my neck and into my clothes, and the biting cold made me shiver.

This kind of weather seems to close all my senses, including hearing, sight, smell and even touch. It made me feel an inexplicable depression, and even felt some difficulty breathing, and had to open my mouth to help me breathe.

All of us remained silent, walking towards the scene of the crime.

Maybe they weren't silent, but their voices were drowned out by the rain.

Standing on the bridge, the visual distance was only thirty meters, but the actual distance was only further, perhaps because of the slowdown in walking, and we walked for two minutes before we crossed the shallows full of gravel and came to the vicinity of the corpse.

The technical team immediately began to investigate the scene, first setting up a long cordon near the scene of the crime, and then the forensic doctor entered to conduct the first autopsy of the body.

The corpse was on the shore, to be exact, only the upper body was stranded on the shore, and the lower body was still soaked in the water, and as the river flowed, the corpse was washed into a strange curved shape, like an arched bridge.

According to the two flood control workers who found the body, the body was completely immersed in the river water, but it was stuck in a large bluestone.

They thought someone was drowning and tried to pull the person out of the water, but they had just dragged the person to the shore and found that the person was dead. In order to avoid destroying the body, they immediately left the scene of the crime to call the police.

"It's raining again, and the rain hasn't stopped, so it's very difficult for you." I subconsciously raised my voice and said to Jiang Tingbai beside me.

Jiang Tingbai looked at the surrounding environment, there were shoal gravel everywhere, and the situation could no longer be described as bad, it could only be said to be very bad.

"I'll do my best." Jiang Tingbai took a deep breath and turned to leave.

The environment at the scene of the crime was very bad, and the location of the body was even worse, her lower body was stuck under a large bluestone, surrounded by large bluestone, and it was particularly slippery after the rain, and there was no way to get off her feet.

But in order to get first-hand autopsy information, Ren Qiushi rejected the proposal to carry the body.

In the process of transporting the corpse, it is very easy to destroy the corpse, and the on-site environment is very complex, and the skin of the corpse soaked in water is very fragile, which is likely to cause secondary injuries and bring difficulties to the autopsy work.

Zeng Lan looked around the corpse, chose a relatively flat large bluestone, and prepared to jump on it.

"Be careful, the rocks are very slippery, and the current is very fast." Ren Qiushi said lightly, but his voice was covered by the sound of rain, and Zeng Lan didn't hear it clearly.

She stepped on the big bluestone with her long legs in one step, but before she could stand firmly, she fell directly on her heels.

Thankfully, she didn't fall into the river, otherwise she would be in danger of drowning.

Unfortunately, she fell heavily on the rock, and it is estimated that she will not be able to sit on the stool in peace for the next few days.

Ren Qiushi hurriedly stepped forward, put his arm into Zeng Lan's armpit, and pulled her up hard.

Although Zeng Lan looked relatively calm, she kept clenching her teeth and rubbing her ass constantly.

"You take care of the records, and I'll do the autopsy." After Ren Qiushi pulled her off the bluestone, he bypassed the bluestone and came to the shallows.

He first stepped one foot into the water, and after stepping on the bottom, he tried hard to make sure he could bear the weight before stepping on the other foot.

This section of the Qinghe River is in the woods, the environment is very complicated, the water depth can reach more than two meters, and the underwater environment is even more complicated, once you fall into the water, your feet are stuck on the stones at the bottom of the river, which is very dangerous.

Ren Qiushi was now standing in the water with his whole body, and the surface of the water had already reached his thighs.

Although he was wearing a one-piece raincoat so that he didn't get soaked, the river was very cold, and the biting cold quickly paralyzed his nerves.

Ren Qiushi took a light step, stood beside the deceased, and immediately began to perform an autopsy on the deceased.

"The mortis is not serious, and the elbow joint is relatively soft." Ren Qiushi gently grabbed the deceased's slender hand and said lightly.

This is a very young female deceased, who looks to be about the same age as Zhang Mengyu, estimated to be between twenty and thirty years old.

Her skin was fair, she was a standard melon seed face, her eyes were slightly open, her expression was calm, and she seemed to be facing death very calmly.

"There are no obvious injuries on the body of the deceased, the crime occurred in the river, and it is very likely that he died by accidental drowning." Ren Qiushi said lightly.

"Was it an accident?" Zeng Lan asked.

Soon, she was not satisfied with observing the corpse through the bluestone, and also bypassed the bluestone and prepared to enter the water.

Seeing her posture, Ren Qiushi hurriedly stopped her further actions, and instead said, "You see if there are any belongings of the deceased around here." ”

"Belongings?" Zeng Lan looked at Ren Qiushi with some puzzlement.

Ren Qiushi nodded and said: "The corpse mortis of the deceased is not serious, and the facet joints have not yet formed a corpse stiffness, which means that the time of death is within four hours, and it has already begun to rain four hours ago, and the deceased is not wearing a raincoat, so there must be ......."

"Umbrella!" After hearing this, Zeng Lan immediately shouted.

"With such heavy rain, the deceased will definitely bring an umbrella when she goes out, whether she commits suicide or homicide, if the umbrella is not found, then this is not the scene of the first crime, she was washed down by the river." Zeng Lan understood Ren Qiushi's thoughts, and she said with some excitement.

Ren Qiushi nodded, giving her a look of encouragement.

"What are you looking at?" I stood aside and saw Zeng Lan standing on tiptoe, looking around as if looking for something.

"Section Chief Ren asked me to see if there were any umbrellas around." Zeng Lan didn't even look at me, and said seriously.

"The technical team has checked and there are no belongings of the deceased in the vicinity." I said in a deep voice, and then walked towards Ren Qiushi.

I waved my hand at him, counting as the answer.

Ren Qiushi immediately nodded and said to me loudly: "This is not the scene of the first crime, the body was washed down by the river, you go upstream and take a look." ”

"Okay, how's the autopsy going on here?!" I nodded and continued to communicate with him.

"There is a high probability that the deceased drowned and needs to be brought back for an autopsy!" Ren Qiushi said loudly.
