"I'm sorry, instructor, but the body of an informant was found in the moat, and I have to go to the scene. ”

Miao Hua stood up and said in a deep voice.

Before Li Mai could speak, Miao Huazheng hesitated for a moment and asked, "Instructor, if you have time, can you help take a look." The violent terrorists in the northwest are completely new to the Nangang City Bureau, and it is very difficult to detect. You've been doing a lot of strikes in the past, so you must be familiar with it. ”

Li Mai was embarrassed, Hao Hao was about to get out of school, he had to go to the market to buy vegetables and cook, and then pick up the children. When I looked up and saw Miao Huazheng's face, I also understood that it must be very tricky, and this outstanding student in the training camp that year had such a sad face.

Another thought that if we don't defeat the Northwest terrorist gang that infiltrated Nangang for a day, Nangang will not be at peace for a day, and I wonder if those inhumane bastards will sneak into the school and kidnap the students, and even directly do it to the students.

There are quite a few examples of this already.

"Okay, I'll go with you. ”

Miao Huazheng was overjoyed, he had seen the instructor's skills with his own eyes. Regardless of whether they were members of the special forces, Li Mai also gave them a lecture on the investigation and analysis of the case! Later, Miao Huazheng learned that the short knife commando was actually an attack team of the military's intelligence department, which itself required extremely strong reconnaissance capabilities.

This is the same logic as the police solving the case.

Li Mai drove, according to the location given by Miao Huazheng, and rushed all the way to the bank of the western section of the moat, and saw several police cars parked there from a distance, pulling the cordon, and the nearby onlookers had been dispersed.

"Miao team. ”

"Miao team. ”

The police at the scene whispered hello and raised the cordon.

Miao Hua was leading Li Mai in, and Miao Huazheng's subordinates, whom Li Mai had seen just now, were squatting next to a wet corpse to check, and when he saw Miao Hua coming, he got up and handed over a pair of rubber gloves.

"The body was found by several fishing enthusiasts. The subordinate introduced, pointing to the dam upstream, "According to their description, the body floated down from the dam. After the salvage was recovered, it was found that ropes were tied to the bare wrists and feet of the body, and the ropes on the bare feet showed signs of breakage. The medical examiner preliminarily determined that the time of death was between 1 a.m. and 3 a.m. on March 18, that is, yesterday evening. ”

Miao Hua was looking at the corpse, his face was terrifyingly cold. The corpse had begun to swell, and it was almost impossible to see the human appearance, but he still easily recognized that this was the social informant he had developed, nicknamed Xiao Hei.

The forensic doctor with a big white hexagram outside came over and said: "The preliminary judgment is that the deceased was drowned, and judging by the broken rope on the bare part of the foot, it should be tied with a heavy object and thrown into the river to guide zhì to death." The deceased had been hit hard and with high intensity, and there were traces of bleeding in his internal organs. ”

Miao Huazheng nodded, and the forensic doctor walked away and continued to examine the body.

Li Mai's ears listened, but his eyes slowly looked at this section of the moat.

The moat is actually a natural river, which was later renovated and expanded, and exists as a scenic river in the urban area. Because of the strong protection, the river water is pollution-free all year round, and there are many fish, which has become the first choice for fishing enthusiasts.

Large areas of turf are planted on both sides of the river, dotted with trees and stone benches, which stretch along the river road on both sides. Going upstream, there is a long-standing dam. The dam was built in the early days of the People's Republic of China, when the area was still farmland, so it served as an irrigation.

With the expansion of the urban area, this nameless dam lost its original role and gradually became the memory of the older generation.

Until the rainy season, the flow of the moat is always gentle. According to the current speed of the water, it only takes a maximum of twelve minutes to float from the dam location.

Finally, Li Mai's gaze fell on the rope at the bare part of the corpse's feet, and then moved to the rope tied to the wrist in front of him.

Miao Huazheng's voice was low, and he said to Li Mai, "This person is an informant that I have developed with great difficulty, and he is familiar with the local three religions and nine streams, and has provided me with a lot of clues. ”

Glancing around, he lowered his voice and said, "After the Guomao bomb this morning, I called him and asked him to pay attention to the unfamiliar faces that have appeared recently. ”

He bit the words "this morning" hard.

Li Mai's brow jumped a few times.

In other words, Xiao Hei had been dead for several hours when Miao Hua was calling him!

Li Mai couldn't help but look at the corpse, he could see that the time of death given by the forensic doctor was very accurate, that is to say, there was no doubt about Xiao Hei's time of death. Therefore, there is only one possibility - someone pretended to be Xiao Hei and talked to Miao Huazheng, and deceived the captain of the criminal investigation team.

"It's kind of interesting. ”

Li Mai said lightly, walked to the corpse, squatted down, and observed carefully. The policemen didn't know who this young man was, and looking at the captain's respectful appearance, they thought it was an agent from the provincial department, so naturally they didn't dare to stop Li Mai's behavior.

Suddenly, Li Mai's brows furrowed, and under the surprised gaze of everyone, he actually approached the corpse's mouth and sniffed vigorously a few times.

The corpse had been soaked in water for more than ten hours, and it was already stenching. Even the forensic doctor, who often works with all kinds of corpses, wears a mask to work, and he actually gets so close to smell the corpses.

Li Mai slowly stood up, thoughtful.

Miao Huazheng walked over and asked in a low voice, "Instructor, did you find anything?" ”

Li Mai nodded, "This is not the first scene. ”

"What?"

The forensic doctor on one side shouted first, and he took off his mask, but it was a forensic doctor in his early forties who seemed to have a lot of experience.

He walked over and said sternly, "Why do you think this is not the first scene?"

Without waiting for Li Mai to speak, he pointed to the dam, "The deceased drowned in the dam." "Pointing to the ropes at the bare feet of the corpse, "judging from the nail marks on his hands and the broken ropes, the deceased had struggled before his death and almost broke the ropes that bound the heavy object." But he didn't succeed, and most of the rope broke, and some of the rest were still attached to the weight. With the impact of the current, the remaining rope broke under the force, and the body surfaced and floated down the river. You say it's not the first scene, but the dam is certainly the first scene. ”

Li Mai nodded, shook his head again, and said, "Your analysis is very reasonable, but the dam is not the first scene. Even, the first site is not within a radius of 10 kilometers. ”

The medical examiner was a little angry, he had been in this business for almost twenty years, and he had never made such a mistake. For the first time, he was denied his judgment in public, and it was difficult to put down this face.

Smiling slightly, Li Mai waved his hand to signal the forensic doctor to calm down, pointed to the head of the corpse, and said, "There is a residual fishy smell in the deceased's nasal cavity. ”

Everyone was stunned and didn't react, but Miao Huazheng frowned.

Pointing to the moat, Li Mai said, "The moat is a freshwater river, where does the smell come from? Obviously, the deceased was suffocated by a large amount of seawater. Therefore, this is by no means the first scene. ”

Miao Huazheng continued: "In other words, the deceased was transferred here after his death, and the murderer created a second scene. ”

Li Mai nodded, pointed to the deceased's hands and feet naked, and said, "If the deceased drowned in the moat, then his struggle must have been very fierce at that time. But the marks on the bare wrists and feet seen now are not very noticeable. From this it can be concluded that the broken ropes on the fingers and bare feet of the deceased are traces carefully created by the murderer. ”

In the end, Li Mai smiled and said, "I believe that you will get more useful clues by dissecting the corpse." ”

Except for Miao Huazheng, everyone else was shocked.

Not because of Li Mai's analysis, but because he was actually able to smell the smell of the sea in the nasal cavity of the corpse!

You must know that after pouring a large amount of fresh water, even if there is really a strong smell of sea, it will be washed very lightly!

It can only be said that this person's sense of smell is as sensitive as a dog!

Miao Huazheng was not surprised by this, during the training camp, he had seen Li Mai's power.

However, the question came again, Miao Huazheng, who was in deep thought, frowned fiercely and asked: "But, why did the murderer do this? The purpose of transferring the crime scene is to add trouble to our detection, so why is it designed to let the body surface?"

Li Mai smiled, but walked towards his Junjie car. Miao Hua was hurrying to follow and stopped next to the car. Miao Huazheng took out a cigarette, handed Li Mai one, and lit it for him.

After taking a few puffs of cigarette, Li Mai slowly put away the faint smile on his face and became stern.

He asked, "Do you think about it carefully, when you were on the phone in the morning, did you feel anything unusual?" ”

Miao Huazheng frowned, pondered for a while, and slowly shook his head and said, "There's nothing wrong with it." Can't figure it out, can't figure it out. According to the time, when I called Xiao Hei, he had been dead for at least five hours. How could he possibly answer the phone...... It didn't look like it was recorded in advance, and no one knew what I was going to say to him. ”

Li Mai smiled thoughtfully, thought about it, patted Miao Huazheng on the shoulder, and said, "Now it is certain that Xiao Hei's death is related to the violent terrorist gang you are tracking, and it is also closely related to the Guomao bomb case in the morning. ”

He paused and whispered, "I have to warn you that there are masters among them. ”

Miao Hua was suddenly solemn, vaguely excited, "What should I do?"

Li Mai smiled, "You are the captain of the criminal investigation team, what do you do and ask me?" Looking at the sky, the sun had already set, slowly dimming, and when he thought that Hao Hao was already hungry after school, Li Mai was anxious. "I have to go back and call us," he said. ”

As he spoke, he reported the number to Miao Huazheng, and then got in the car and left quickly. Miao Huazheng wondered, he didn't know when the instructor was so anxious, so he had to give up.
