"Wow-" Loud applause rang out.

The familiar faces, the joy and welcome from the heart, made Zhao Xiangwan's heart warm.

Xu Songling smiled so much that his eyes were almost invisible: "Xiang Wan, you have finally come to report." You don't know, if you don't report for a day, my heart will be hanging this day. Qin Yongbing of the Kyoto police, Lao Zhirui of the Liao Provincial Police, and Miao Hui of our provincial department all came to rob people. ”

Zhao Xiangwan smiled: "Don't worry, Master." I'm familiar with this place, and I'm able to get in touch with big cases for the first time, which is more suitable for me than sitting in the office and doing administration. ”

Zhu Feipeng has married He Mingyu and is about to become a father, his demeanor is more mature, but he grinned, still sunny and hearty: "You are right to think so!" The Serious Crime Team needs you, and you can't do without the tacit support of your brothers, right? ”

He Mingyu was pregnant with Liujia, and she was already pregnant, standing aside with a belly, with a gentle smile: "Xiang Wan, you can be regarded as coming to report, the dormitory and everything have been arranged, right?" ”

Because of pregnancy, He Mingyu was temporarily transferred out of the serious case team, and did some light data sorting work in the political department, He Mingyu was not used to it when she first sat in the office, and ran to the serious crime team twice in three days, but her belly was getting bigger and bigger, and she had to slowly adapt to it. Today, in order to welcome Zhao Xiangwan, He Mingyu specially greeted the leader and came over happily.

Zhao Xiangwan walked up to He Mingyu, looked at her protruding lower abdomen, stretched out his arms, and hugged her gently. When hugging, she tried not to let herself touch He Mingyu's stomach, so as not to cause squeezing: "I didn't apply for a dormitory, isn't there a new Jinyuan community opposite the city bureau?" I have a house there and live alone, and it's easy to go to work. ”

In three years, Zhao Xiangwan became a rich woman.

Prizes for participating in the detection of major cases, school scholarships, and dissertation fees...... Coupled with the consulting fees obtained for guiding Ji Jinmao and Mei Qingxi's company operations, Zhao Xiangwan bought a house early.

Although her boyfriend Ji Zhao is very rich, as a rural child, Zhao Xiangwan prefers the feeling of accumulating wealth little by little. To be honest, watching the more and more numbers on the passbook, buying a house with your own hands, and decorating it to your liking, the process is really happy.

In the 90s, the commercial residence cost seven or eight hundred yuan a square meter, and Zhao Xiangwan bought a two-bedroom and one-living room on the third floor, and spent more than 80,000 yuan on decoration, home appliances, and furniture. The nest is very comfortable, one bedroom, one study, and the kitchen is fully equipped with stoves and utensils. Finally having a residence in this city that belongs to him, Zhao Xiangwan feels that he has a haven from the wind.

The community is not big, there are only five three-unit six-storey brick and concrete houses, green between floors, mainly flower beds, and the camphor trees planted on the side of the road have not grown tall, just rows of small saplings, but fortunately, it is close to the city bureau and convenient to work.

I heard that Zhao Xiangwan already had her own house, and Zhu Kang, Ai Hui, and Huang Yuande, who had girlfriends and were talking about marriage, were all a little moved.

"Little junior sister is fast, buy a house so early."

"I'm still applying for a flat house, and I don't know when I can arrange it."

"Why don't we grit our teeth and buy a house? Follow the evening, yes! ”

Zhao Xiangwan smiled: "Buy it, housing will only get more and more expensive in the future." This foreknowledge was obtained from Zhao Chenyang, a reborn person.

As soon as the words came out, everyone in the serious crime team made up their minds: "Buy!" Borrow money to buy it. ”

Even Gao Guangqiang, who is about to retire, decided to prepare a wedding room for his son in advance.

After a few words, Zhao Xiangwan sat at the exclusive desk, sorting out the items in the drawer. In the past, I only came here for an internship, but now that I am officially working, I have more personal belongings.

Since studying at Public Security University, Zhao Xiangwan has hardly bought clothes. The uniforms are either issued by the university or the unit, and the daily casual clothes are all taken care of by Ji Zhao, and occasionally sent by aunts and cousins, and the clothes and shoes are all placed in their own nests.

Most of the items placed on the desk are related to documents and file organization, including notebooks, pens, study documents, etc., after this return, Zhao Xiangwan also received a small, black BB machine, a Chinese message pager, which was the most advanced contact tool at that time.

Zhao Xiangwan glanced at the BB machine, took out a palm-sized phone book, wrote down the pager numbers of his colleagues, and then put these two things in his pocket. In case there is a field service, it is good to use this to communicate with each other, and there is no distance limit.

The phone rang, and Gao Guangqiang took it.

When he put down the phone, his face became very serious: "There is a task." ”

Zhao Xiangwan immediately stood up and entered the working state.

This time, unlike the internship, Zhao Xiangwan will participate in the whole process of the case from beginning to end.

Sitting in the police car, Gao Guangqiang briefly explained the case.

Wangyang District, located in the northwest of Xingshi, is a suburb with a large area of farmland and vegetable fields, including six urban villages such as Xiangyang Village and Shannan Village, as well as a number of small factories such as canning factories and motor factories, as well as a large waste dump built ten years ago.

The completion of a large garbage dump has made the once clean and clear air here suddenly muddy. Compared with the urban area, it is far from the transportation, supporting facilities, education and liveliness.

At seven o'clock in the morning, three second-grade primary school students in Xiangyang Village went to school with schoolbags on their backs, and instead of taking the main road, they walked along the ridges and played. The three children were only seven or eight years old, which was the age of playfulness, and each of them folded a bamboo village and brandished a sword, pretending to be a ranger, and made a "open-minded" sound in his mouth, and had a very happy time.

The three children completely forgot that they still had to go to school, and the more they ran, the more they ran away, and suddenly found a well in front of them, and immediately became curious, picked up a stone, aimed at the mouth of the well from a distance and threw it into it.

I thought I would hear the sound of a stone falling into the water, but when the stone was thrown in, no sound came out, and after throwing a few more pieces, there was still nothing. Curious, the three children ran to the well and looked inside.

It doesn't matter if you look at it, you suddenly found a foot.

"Ahh Mommy, Mommy—" The children were frightened, screamed, and ran home crying, shouting as they ran: "There are people, there are dead people!" ”

The children rushed home to tell their parents, and the police were called.

Hearing this, several members of the serious crime team in the car began to ask each other questions and sort out the details to be investigated.

"In the body dumping well, the first crime scene should be nearby."

"yes, I don't know if I can find some traces by the well. I am afraid that the local villagers will come and trample indiscriminately, and the environment of the scene will be destroyed. ”

"Was the deceased male or female? What about the corpse? ”

"The local police station has intervened, male, undressed, about 30 years old, his face is highly damaged and unrecognizable."

"Well, that's a local."

"Yes, the deceased should be a local, and the murderer was afraid that he would be recognized, so he smashed his face and stripped naked."

"In this way, the scope of the investigation is much smaller, which is a good thing."

Several experienced criminal policemen talked, and Zhao Xiangwan sat on the side and listened carefully. In the past, most of the cases she was involved in had already identified the suspect and entered the interrogation stage, but now from the discovery of the body to the first scene, even the identity of the deceased, let alone the suspect, is unknown, which is a challenge for her.

The Serious Crime Squad's fears proved justified.

A large number of villagers surrounded the scene, and the footprints around it were chaotic, and the traces had been almost destroyed.

Zhao Xiangwan walked to the well and found that the bottom of the well had been filled with sand, and the police at the scene told her that when they arrived at the scene, they found that the sand buried the body deeply, probably because of a rain two days ago, the soil sank, which exposed half of her feet and was found by curious children.

Zhu Feipeng took photos of the scene and asked, "There is no cover at the wellhead?" ”

The police at the scene shook their heads: "No, the locals said that this well has been abandoned for many years, the location here is remote, and the waste garbage dump next to it is dirty and smelly, and no one usually comes here at all." If the three children hadn't strayed from the main road, I'm afraid they wouldn't have found the abandoned well for a while. The corpse was buried in the head, and the body was buried under a pile of mud and sand, and it took a lot of effort to get it up. ”

Gao Guangqiang put on gloves and a mask, and approached the corpse covered with a white cloth.

Zhao Xiangwan has learned from the same and followed suit.

When the white cloth was lifted, the corpse was stripped naked, and the face was smashed to shreds by something, and the location of the eyes, nose, and mouth could only be vaguely distinguished. The corpse was decomposed, emitting a scalp-tinging stench.

Zhao Xiangwan held his breath and did not come closer.

Gao Guangqiang glanced at the corpse and motioned for the forensic doctor to step forward, while he got up and walked to Zhao Xiangwan's side, took her farther away, and said in a low voice: "You just came to work, you are not used to it, don't get too close, lest you get stained with the smell of the corpse and wash it clean." Just let the body be forensically examined. I guess I was dead for four or five days, and the specific characteristics will wait for the autopsy report. ”

[Xiang Wan, this girl is good at interrogation and has good psychological control over criminals, but after all, she has just gone to work, so she still has to protect her, so that she can't be frightened by the tragic situation of the corpse. I think back then, when I saw a corpse for the first time at work and smelled the smell of corpses, I was about to vomit out my bitter gall. 】

The love of the seniors made Zhao Xiangwan feel a little moved in his heart.

The people of the Serious Crime Unit deal with homicides all day long, and looking at corpses has become a daily task, which one of them didn't come from a rookie who vomited when he saw a corpse?

On the first day of employment, when he came to the first scene and saw the corpse that had been dead for four or five days, Zhao Xiangwan finally knew that the smell of corpses was the most terrifying smell in the world.

Zhao Xiangwan did not hesitate, bypassed the corpse, and checked the surrounding terrain.

An abandoned old well, located in a wilderness, is said to have been a gathering place for the surname Wu, and the tribesmen hired someone to dig a well for irrigation, and later with the expansion of the city, the people surnamed Wu gradually moved out, and the well was abandoned. The bluestone slabs paved next to the well are still there, and the stone carvings of the well railing can still be seen vaguely.

The old houses next to it have been demolished, and only some remnants of rammed earth foundations can be seen.

More than 100 meters southwest of the old well, there is a waste garbage dump. The local police said that when the garbage dump was built, it was met with collective suppression from the residents, and the government had no choice but to accept it silently.

After it was built, the garbage piled up more and more, and if the southwest wind blew in time, the whole area would smell. Although the government has built several landfills, which are largely abandoned, the smell that has accumulated over the years is still unpleasant.

It is because of the existence of this garbage dump that the people surnamed Wu will continue to move out until they all leave, leaving only an old well, silently telling the popularity and liveliness of the year.

Zhu Feipeng was used to seeing corpses, and was squatting beside the forensic doctor to inspect it, talking in a low voice.

"The face is destroyed, but the fingers are intact and fingerprints can be extracted."

"The time of death was about four or five days ago, and the fatal injury should have come from a blow to the back of the head."

"There are wear on the heels and elbows, and there are abrasions all over the body, which should have been dragged some distance."

Hearing the last sentence, Zhu Feipeng stood up and looked around like Zhao Xiangwan. After checking it, his eyes lit up, and he walked quickly to Gao Guangqiang's side: "Old Gao, the body has drag injuries, this is not the scene of the first crime." ”

Gao Guangqiang nodded, and called Zhao Xiangwan and Ai Hui: "You follow Zhu Feipeng, go to the garbage dump to check, and remember to wear a mask." ”

More than 100 meters away, although there is no smell of corpses, a large amount of domestic garbage is piled together, and the stench emitted is still suffocating.

Zhao Xiangwan put on a mask and walked to the garbage dump with Zhu Feipeng and Zhu Kang.

It is said that the government has stopped the garbage dump this year because of repeated petitions and boycotts from local residents, and some sand, loess, and bricks are piled up on the side of the road.

The closer you go, the stronger the smell becomes, and it's disgusting.

Walking along a concrete road, I saw a rusty iron door. There was a string of chains hanging from the iron door, and there was no sound inside.

Zhu Feipeng approached, wearing gloves and pulling the iron chain.

"Whew...... Crash...... Syllable! The chain slipped out of the lock and fell to the ground with a loud noise.

Zhu Kang squatted down and looked at the iron lock: "Someone opened it?" ”

Apparently so.

Zhu Kang put the iron lock into the evidence bag: "Let's see if we can extract fingerprints." ”

The three of them endured the stench and continued on their way.

If this abandoned garbage dump is opened, it is very likely that this is the first scene of the crime.

Entering the management room of the garbage dump, the sharp-eyed Zhu Feipeng immediately found traces of the fight and blood stains.

Click, click, click......

Zhu Feipeng and Zhu Kang cooperated with each other, one made a mark, the other took a photo, and Zhao Xiangwan watched from the side, observing around.

There were a few garbage carts in the corner, and they looked so dirty that they couldn't even see their original color. Zhao Xiangwan approached and found that there were partial wiping marks on the side of one of the carts, and there was a light blue cloth strip in the corner, which looked like the fiber of the fabric had been torn.

Zhao Xiangwan turned his head and shouted, "Senior brother, there is something here." ”

Zhu Feipeng and Zhu Kang walked over, continued to repeat the behavior just now, and carefully removed the cloth strip and put it in the evidence bag.

After extracting the bloodstains, the three of them inspected the scene again, found an old brick stained with blood, and extracted two sets of footprints, one of the footprints was leather shoes, shoe size 40, and the other set of footprints was sneakers, shoe size was also 40.

Two hours have passed since the investigation of the first scene of the crime was carefully completed.

Zhao Xiangwan and others joined up with the large army and notified the local police to seal off the abandoned garbage dump.

Leaving early in the morning, it was already more than one o'clock in the afternoon when he returned to the office of the serious crime team, Zhao Xiangwan took the time to go home and take a shower, changed into clean clothes, and still felt a smell on his body.

After smelling the smell of corpses and staying in the garbage dump for two hours, his nostrils were filled with all kinds of unpleasant smells, Zhao Xiangwan couldn't eat lunch at all.

As a graduate of the Public Security University and has participated in the investigation of cases many times, Zhao Xiangwan knows that it is not easy to be a criminal policeman.

On the first day of her official employment today, the test came too quickly, and she was a little caught off guard.

The picture is bloody, and she is not afraid;

The case is bizarre, and she is not afraid;
