Chuanshan

At four o'clock in the morning, those who go out at night have already returned home, and those who leave early have not yet set off. This is the quietest time in the city.

"bell----"

"City Bureau Criminal Investigation. I'm Qiao Chen, please tell me."

Qiao Chen, deputy head of the Criminal Investigation Detachment of the Public Security Bureau of Pinglu City, Jizhou Province.

"This is the 110 Command Center, just received a report..."

Qiao Chen quickly pressed the hands-free button, and the voice on the other end of the phone continued: "...Jianhai found a floating corpse. The scene has been protected and has not been salvaged. Please send someone directly from the city's criminal investigation..."

Qiao Chen directly interrupted: "Where?! Sea of ​​Arrows?! Are you sure?"

The policewoman on the other end of the phone said, "Yes, it's Jianhai."

The office that had been shrouded in drowsiness just now woke up.

Jianhai is the only open water area in the center of Pinglu City. It is almost on the central axis of Pinglu City. There are countless large and small businesses around, countless cultural heritage houses, and countless historical buildings. This kind of place has always been a key protection area. .Floating corpses appeared in the city center, and the nature of the case escalated suddenly.

"Understood, here we come!" Qiao Chen hung up the phone quickly, and then arranged with a clear mind, "Fatty calls the boss, and calls the criminal department for nothing."

"Yes! Deputy Joe!"

"What about me?" Lin Huan, the only female police officer in the detachment, asked.

"You watch the house."

"Oh..." Lin Huan sat down unsteadily again.

The policeman called "Fatty" just now dialed the phone, only to hear a slightly angry voice from the other side of the phone: "Pang Guanglong! You better have something urgent!"

Fatty said four words neatly: "A sea of ​​arrows! Floating on the river!"

"..." There was silence on the other end of the phone for five seconds, followed by a rustling voice, and then the steady male voice sounded again, "See you there."

The policeman nicknamed "Panger", whose real name is Pang Guanglong, is a criminal policeman of the Criminal Investigation Detachment of Pinglu City. He is not fat, but his childhood photos prove that he was once fat.

As for the origin of this nickname, half of it is because his surname, Pang, has a similar pronunciation to Pang, and he is the only one in their team with the surname Pang, so everyone calls him by his surname.And the other half of the reason, that's a few years ago.Back then when they were squatting on a suspect, they met Pang Guanglong's high school classmate. His classmate's "Big Fatty", who cried ghosts and gods, not only startled Pang Guanglong and his teammates, but also woke up the suspect. Big mistake, this matter was not reflected in the case file, it just made him change from "pang" to "fat" in the team, and sometimes he was nicknamed "fat".

Pang Guanglong was actually happy to accept this nickname, because he always felt that his nickname was perfunctory, but in fact his parents gave him this name because Pang's character was split into Guanglong, so it was indeed perfunctory.

Ten minutes later, a man in a white short-sleeved hoodie and denim trousers went straight to the cordon, showed his ID to the auxiliary police protecting the scene, raised the cordon and walked inside.

However, he stopped just three steps away, because there was no scene, and the cordon was only used to delineate an open space in advance to park the corpse.

The siren sounded in the distance, and two police cars roared towards him. The flashing red and blue police lights hit the man's face, making him even more tall and handsome.

At this time, the men and women who came out of the nearby bar were attracted by the sound of sirens, and surrounded them in groups. A sharp-eyed young man saw the man and shouted with the strength of alcohol: "Handsome guy! Want a date?"

The people around laughed loudly, and before they had time to comment on him, they were rushed away by the auxiliary police standing guard next to him.

Qiao Chen and others happened to see this scene when they got out of the car.

The policeman who was called "Bai" at the police station just now, named Bai Ze, has only been in the detachment for a month and has not been involved in a case yet.He looked at those young people who were too drunk and sighed: "Our captain's face really suits both men and women!"

Pang Guanglong touched Bai Ze with his elbow, and said, "Keep your voice down, come out and make a joke, and be careful not to be scolded by the boss!"

Bai Ze immediately fell silent, and followed Qiao Chen to the man.

Seeing them coming, the man raised his wrist and pointed to his watch, and said coldly, "Two minutes behind me."

Qiao Chen: "This is a domestic police car, can it compare with your big G that accelerates from 5 kilometers in less than [-] seconds?"

"I came running."

Qiao Chen: "..."

"My car can't drive into the alley, and it's forbidden to drive in the cultural protection area." The man turned his head and said to the side, "Bai Ze, I heard what you said. Don't talk about private matters at work, and don't make an exception."

Bai Ze involuntarily stood at attention.

Qiao Chen quickly smoothed things over and said, "Okay, Yan Lan, Bai also just arrived, so you can scare him out."

Yan Lan, the captain of the Criminal Investigation Detachment of Pinglu City Public Security Bureau, has a nickname in the Pinglu City Public Security Bureau—Yan Wang.

Pang Guanglong leaned forward and asked, "Boss, what's the matter?"

Yan Lan pointed behind her and said, "Waiting for the trace inspection and camera. Has the forensic doctor come?"

"Here we come," Qiao Chen nodded. "Today, the newcomer in the forensic room is on duty, so he followed. By the way, you haven't seen it yet, have you?"

Relying on his height advantage of nearly 1 meters, Yan Lan took a glance into the distance, took out his mobile phone and was about to send WeChat to the old forensic doctor Wang Jun.

The criminal investigation detachment of the Pinglu City Public Security Bureau is responsible for major criminal cases. There should have been a criminal technical brigade under the detachment. Wang Jun was the captain of the criminal technical brigade of the criminal investigation detachment.Later, due to the renewal and development of technology, the establishment of the brigade could no longer meet the needs, so the "Criminal Technology Science Research Institute" was established in Pinglu City, which is often called the Criminal Division.The criminal department not only has forensic medicine, trace inspection, and videography, which are traditional "on-the-spot" criminal technicians, but also a series of professional and meticulous branches such as cultural inspection, physics and chemistry, biology, psychological polygraph detection, and electronic evidence.

After the establishment of the criminal department of the Pinglu City Public Security Bureau, Wang Jun was transferred to the forensic department of the criminal department as the director, and was gradually promoted to the director of the department. No one has changed the establishment of the technical brigade, and Wang Jun is still a criminal investigator in name.He was used to criminal investigation, and he always followed him when he appeared on the scene, so the people in the detachment were used to having Wang Jun in the lineup.

At this moment, Yan Lan wanted to find Wang Jun out of habit.However, Qiao Chen quickly stopped him: "Stop! How long has Mr. Wang been with us in the last case? How old are you, how old is Mr. Wang? Do you expect him to survive like you?!"

Yan Lan put back her phone, looked at the people in front of her, and said, "Bai, go back to the car."

"Ah...?" Bai Ze thought that Yan Lan was angry because of what happened just now, and quickly said, "I was wrong, Captain Yan, don't be angry, you can scold me and beat me, don't scold me..."

Qiao Chen and Yan Lan have been together since the police academy, and they knew something was wrong when they heard this.He glanced at the marine police who had already boarded the boat in the distance, and said, "Damn it! No way?!"

Yan Lan nodded, and said a word: "Yes."

Pang Guanglong stared at them for a while, and then backed away again and again: "Don't... I will go on a blind date tomorrow, oh no, this afternoon!"

Bai Ze looked at the three of them in bewilderment. Before his brain could react, his sense of smell came alive first.

"This, this, this..." Bai Ze was so overwhelmed by the choking smell that he didn't dare to breathe out, he pinched his nose and said, "What kind of smell is this?"

Pang Guanglong patted Bai Ze's shoulder and asked, "Hey, beast, did you have the concept of giants in ancient times?"

Pang Guanglong is a talkative and secretive person, and he loves to joke more when he is nervous. Naturally, Yan Lan knew his problem, so he ignored him, and just said to Bai Ze: "Bai, go and call that little forensic doctor over here." , and then go back to the car and sit down."

"Thank you Team Yan——" Bai Ze ran at the speed of a [-]-meter sprint.

The "little forensic doctor" walked into the cordon wearing a full set of police investigation uniforms, pulled out a bright smile, and said, "Yan Zhi...Hello team! My name is Su Xing, and I can walk. I am the apprentice of Director Wang." .”

Pang Guanglong secretly gave Su Xing a thumbs up, while Su Xing stuck out his tongue, and the two smiled tacitly—fortunately, they called it right.

Almost everyone automatically blacklisted the name "Yan Zhi" and never mentioned it, not because of anything else, but because of the surname Yan Lan.In Pinglu City, a northern city where everyone can speak standard Mandarin, the title "Yanzhi" is not a problem.But two years ago, the criminal police from a certain place came to Pinglu to handle the case, and their "Yanzhi" with an accent sounded like "rouge".Every time Yan Zhi was called, Yan Lan's face darkened a little. After they left, according to Pang Guanglong's private description, Yan Lan "could play Duke Bao without makeup".Later, everyone changed the name directly to "Team Yan". Every time a newcomer came, Pang Guanglong would mention it in private.Su Xing saw Yan Lan for the first time today, and almost forgot about it, but after he called out, he felt something was wrong, and immediately made up for it.

Yan Lan nodded to Su Xing, then turned her eyes to the side.Su Xing didn't mind Yan Lan's indifference, he put his hand in and swayed back to the police car to get things.

At this time, a young policeman with a bar and a star on his shoulder ran up to them and asked cautiously, "Um... I'm Liu Qingyuan, a police officer from the Western District Bureau. Excuse me, are you the leaders of the Municipal Bureau?"

"We are from the Municipal Bureau." Pang Guanglong patted Liu Qingyuan on the shoulder, "Don't be nervous, you don't need to call the leader, I'm Pang Guanglong, you can just call me Brother Pang."

Here Pang Guanglong and Liu Qingyuan were talking back and forth, while Qiao Chen asked in a low voice, "You don't really like Bai Ze, do you?"

Yan Lan: "What do you want to say?"

Qiao Chen moved closer and said, "Don't bully the child. He is young and left his hometown to come to us to earn a salary of more than 3000 yuan a month. We have to take care of him, but you can think clearly , this care is not that care.”

Yan Lan put his hands in the pockets of his hoodie, and only said one word: "Oh."

"What are you?! I'm serious!" Qiao Chen elbowed Yan Lan, "What on earth are you thinking?"

Yan Lan said: "Don't talk about personal affairs during working hours, didn't you hear that? Or do you think I won't talk about you?"

"Okay! I won't say anything! Boss, you can do whatever you want!"

Yan Lan: "Shut up your meaningful expression, he's not my type."

Qiao Chen pouted: "The older you get, the tougher your mouth is. Is it that difficult to tell the truth? Newcomers come here one after another. I've never seen you take care of anyone like this. Why don't you let him go back to the car?" Because why don’t I know? He is wearing new clothes today, which is not cheap in terms of his salary. You are afraid that he will get his clothes dirty, right? "

Yan Lan didn't speak any more, took out a pack of new masks from his pocket and threw it into Qiao Chen's hands, then walked out of the cordon with long legs, and leaned against the stone railing to smoke.

At 25:[-] in the morning, the body was salvaged.

The unspeakable stench made everyone on the scene back unconsciously.Su Xing handed Yan Lan a set of survey uniform and gas mask, gestured for Yan Lan to put it on, and then walked to the side of the corpse.

Qiao Chen pinched his nose and said, "Think about what you wanted to do just now, don't you feel guilty? After all, Xiao Su is a forensic doctor. Even if she is young, she will not be intimidated by the view of giants. You are too small. gone."

Yan Lan ignored Qiao Chen, quickly put on her survey suit, put on a gas mask and walked to the corpse.The corpse was completely swollen, with a hideous face, protruding eyes, turned lips, and the tip of the tongue sticking out.There were many dirty green marks on the skin, and this corpse was fished out of the water, so the whole mortuary place was dripping with grey-green greasy water all over the floor.

"What do you think?" Yan Lan asked.

Su Xing raised his hand and slammed the flies, then used tweezers to clamp the wriggling creatures on the surface of the corpse into the bottle, and said: "The corpse is highly corrupted. According to the ambient temperature, water temperature and the degree of hatching of these maggots, the death time It has been more than 7 days, but the possibility that the corpse has stayed in a high-temperature environment cannot be ruled out."

It was difficult to distinguish the features of the corpse, Yan Lan looked at it for a long time, and finally asked: "Male or female?"

"Male." Su Xing explained, "The male pelvis is small and narrow, the chest is broad, the chest muscles are more developed than the hip muscles, and the center of gravity is biased towards the front of the torso, so most of the male floating corpses are in the prone position. Just now the corpse was in the water. It was in the prone position when it was inside, which is also a basis for us to judge the sex of the highly corrupted floating corpse."

This is professional forensic knowledge. Yan Lan didn't know much about it, so he just listened intently. After Su Xing finished speaking, Yan Lan asked again: "Can the cause of death be determined?"

Su Xing shook his head: "No, I need to go back and have an autopsy to be sure."

Yan Lan: "Then carry it back first."

Su Xing squatted on the ground, raised his head to look at Yan Lan, and said, "Captain Yan, can you come here for a while?"

Yan Lan walked up to Su Xing and asked, "What's wrong?"

Su Xing raised his hand: "Can I borrow some strength? My leg is numb."

Yan Lan snorted softly, stretched out his arm in front of Su Xing, Su Xing took Yan Lan's arm and stood up slowly, stomped his feet, then withdrew his hand and thanked: "Thank you, Captain Yan."

Yan Lan beckoned someone to carry the body back, and then greeted as she walked, "Fatty and Bai go back first. Qiao Chen, you have made it clear to the West District Bureau that I will wait for you in the car, Su—"

"Oh my Su! What's wrong with you?" Qiao Chen ran to Su Xing while talking.Yan Lan followed the prestige, and Su Xing was throwing up at the side.

Yan Lan shook her head, and went straight to Zeng Cheng, the director of the Western District Bureau: "Bureau Zeng has worked hard."

Zeng Cheng nodded, took out his cigarette and said, "It's not hard work, it's not hard work. The leaders of the Municipal Bureau will personally come down to guide the work. We have to cooperate, right?! Would you like to smoke a cigarette?"

"No." Yan Lan rejected Zeng Cheng's flattery, and said blankly, "Zeng Bureau still has to work hard, and I will leave the investigation and visits to you."

Zeng Cheng showed embarrassment: "That... Yan team, look around our Jianhai, there are merchants and cultural relics, and there are so many private houses, this is very difficult..."

Yan Lan clasped his hands on his chest, looked down at Zeng Cheng and said, "There are 23 alleys around Jianhai, and there are 1145 residential houses, of which 877 are long-term residential houses. There are 167 bars and restaurants, and 81 are open all night. Home. According to regulations, all bars and restaurants are equipped with surveillance cameras, and the municipal government achieved full surveillance coverage in the Jianhai area the year before last. As for the cultural relics protection units, they are all monitored. I did not mention that it is extremely difficult to check tourists. And unreasonable demands, so I don't know where the difficulties of Zeng Ju are?"

"..." Zeng Cheng opened his mouth for a long time before he stammered, "No...no difficulty...the people's police are not afraid of difficulties!"

"Thank you." Yan Lan nodded to Zeng Cheng, then turned and walked to the car.Zeng Cheng stared at his back, and cursed in a low voice: "What a fucking Hades!"

When Yan Lan returned to the side of the police car, Su Xing was sitting in the car panting heavily with a pale face, while Qiao Chen was holding water and looked at him worriedly.

Seeing Yan Lan coming back, Su Xing immediately straightened up: "Captain Yan!"

Yan Lan asked, "This is the first time you've seen the view of giants?"

Su Xing shook his head and said: "I'm fine, Captain Yan don't worry, you don't need to call my master back."

"Let's go." Yan Lan walked towards the cab.

Qiao Chen wondered, "Where's your car?"

"I told you I came here by running." Yan Lan sat in the cab and started the car, "There are so many traffic lights on this road and the speed is limited, it's better to run."

Qiao Chen rolled his eyes: "I can't talk to rich people like you who live in the city center! It's too exciting!"

Su Xing sat in the back seat of the police car without making a sound, staring out the window in a daze.When the car drove onto the main road, half of the glass on his side was rolled down, and the summer morning breeze hit his face, blowing away the oppressive feeling stuck in his chest.Su Xing turned his head to see that Yan Lan was still driving seriously, and would reply to Qiao Chen from time to time, as if opening the window just now was just an unconscious move.

Su Xing thought to himself: This "King of Hades" doesn't seem to be that scary.
