Chapter 215: Corpse
Chapter 215
At the end of April, going from the north to the south is like falling from early spring all the way to summer. Roach, who grew up in the north, already felt that it was hot and unbearable, and after getting out of the car and walking a few steps, he felt that his clothes were damp, and he didn't know if he was sweating or the air was too humid.
There was a cordon around the water's edge, and there were more than 20 people in and out, about half of them were wearing police uniforms, but Luo Qi could see that the other half were also police officers without police uniforms, and his eyes and demeanor could see that they were not ordinary citizens. Two cars without police lights, one of which looked like a funeral car, Rocky walked to the vicinity just in time to see a stretcher carrying a body bag.
Today is a rare sunny day, but it is no more pleasant than a rainy day, and the sun is steaming a steady stream of water vapor from the wet ground, wetting the air. Roach's clothes quickly became uncomfortable against him, and he slowly walked in the direction of the police, who he believed must have noticed them.
He scanned the crowd, searching inside. Finally, he noticed a middle-aged man with sharp eyes in the crowd of policemen, and the man looked at him for a split second across the crowd and the river. Roach looked away, and walked like a do-gooder to the car that was pulling the corpse, making a gesture to snoop. A few uniformed policemen politely asked him to go away.
The middle-aged man was talking to a few people who looked like criminal policemen, and pointed in the direction of Roach. Two policemen approached, one very burly, the other lean and capable, with slightly dark skin. Roach pretended not to notice them, and walked slowly along the cordon by the river, observing the work in the river. Several policemen were fishing at the bottom of the river in water, and Rock knew that the river was not deep, but it was certainly not a good job to fish for something in the water.
The two policemen finally caught up with Roach and stopped him, and the thin man first taught him about civic duty, such as why the cordon is called a cordon.
Luo Qi cooperated with the persuasion and education of the police with a good attitude, but he inevitably looked like an older bear child with his left ear in and out of his right ear, and as soon as the police's education came to an end, he immediately asked, "Comrade policeman, what's wrong?" Did someone die in the river? ”
The burly policeman glared at him, "It's okay with you, you know?" What are you doing here? ”
Luo Qi smiled slightly, as if listening to the sound of the wind, and he only reacted to the policeman's question after two seconds, "I traveled here with my family by car, and I heard that there is a little-known ancient town here, unlike a hot spot like Zhouzhuang Wuzhen, where there are tourists and can't play at all." As a result, I saw that you had sealed the road here, so couldn't we play today? Why is someone jumping into the river here? ”
The two policemen looked at each other, and the burly and fierce one asked, "You only got here today?" ”
Luo Qi was delayed for another two seconds before laughing, "Yes, I visited the Confucius Temple in Nanjing last night. I don't think this water is deep, can anyone really commit suicide here? It's suicide, right? ”
The policeman ignored his question and ordered in a stern voice, "Show me the highway toll bill." ”
Luo Qi laughed for a while, as if the reaction was to slow down, "That's no problem, the toll bill should still be in the car and not thrown away." Do you want me to pick it up? ”
"Wait, don't worry." The skinny policeman suddenly stopped him. Luo Qi saw that the police were paying attention to his ears, and he didn't see anything abnormal, the police smiled and circled around him, "You guy is interesting, how to talk to you is like a delay in the network, you must be two seconds slower, is it possible that you still need to find 4 signals to get your brain online?" ”
Roach smiled, "You haven't investigated the cause of death yet?" ”
The policeman snorted, pondering Roach as he suddenly unbuttoned his collar to show him that he wasn't wearing any headphones and that no one was giving him orders.
"The identity of the deceased has not been investigated?" Roach said as he re-tied his collar, "Where did you park the body at night?" ”
No one answered Rocky's question, but Roach's expression was clear, as if an invisible person had answered his doubts. Even the experienced criminal policeman suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, and he unconsciously looked up at the surroundings, and it was still empty and humid air.
A little farther away there was a sound of the car door opening and closing, and the policeman immediately turned his head to look behind him, where a tall, slender man stepped out of the car and was leaning against the door to look this way.
Arch raised his arm and waved it that way.
"Coming with you?" The policeman asked, cautiously observing the person in front of him.
"My brother." Roach said with a smile.
"Models?" The policeman glanced at the man standing next to the car again, but even he didn't quite trust his own judgment. The inability to judge people's occupations is rare in his experience. He had a vague feeling that the man was dangerous, and that if the person in front of him was not signaling safety, things would be very difficult.
But speaking of which, doing things in front of dozens of cops? He thought it was ridiculous, he looked at his brothers, and no one thought there was anything wrong, they were still by the river on a sunny day.
Who knew that the young man in front of him suddenly laughed, "Uncle policeman, you are really a sensitive person." ”
He was taken aback, and looked at the person in front of him in astonishment, as if a dark flame was burning in the depths of his pupils. He looked like a beautiful boy next door, not a brutal bandit, but the fire in his eyes made him very uneasy.
"Why don't you take me to talk to your boss?" Rocky suggested.
I don't know why, he thinks this thing is feasible, push people to the boss's side, and the boss can solve it better. He looked at his partner as if it were routine, and no one thought it was wrong.
Luo Qi bypassed the small bridge over the river and reached the opposite side of the riverbank, where two policemen led him straight through the cordon, and the middle-aged criminal police captain looked at him suspiciously.
He said hello and leaned over familiarly, "Hey Uncle Policeman, have you found out the identity of the deceased in your bureau?" ”
The middle-aged criminal policeman held the mobile phone in his hand, looked at him in confusion for a while, and said, "So far, there is no such person." ”
"What about the cause of death and physical characteristics of the deceased?" Roach asked casually.
"The preliminary judgment was that the cause of death was drowning." The middle-aged criminal policeman seemed to hesitate for a while after saying this, but continued to speak, "The deceased is a woman, about twenty years old, should be less than thirty years old" He was suddenly stunned, as if there was some force that made him hold back the following words. Roach smiled, leaned in and put his arm around his shoulders like a buddy, and whispered, "Needless to say." If you think about it, have you seen her before? ”
The face of the dead came to his mind, and he could sketch the appearance of a young woman, who was not terrible before death and the river had changed her appearance too much.
"Hmm." Luo Qi whispered, "The clues that have ordered takeout here are not worth following at all, and there is nothing in the ancient town, so it is not worth going in at all." ”
