Not in reincarnation

On a sunny morning, the university campus looked extremely quiet, and the king coconut trees on both sides of the road were pale as if they had been painted with lime under the dazzling light.The girl with the ponytail is wearing a white sports coat and slim trousers. She has a clean and neat image, holding a stack of books that is so high that it almost covers her eyes, making her steps slow and funny.

These books are borrowed from the library. I haven't finished reading them yet, but they are almost due.She thought to herself: I want to write down their codes and borrow them when I have time.

She made the same promise for two years and never kept it.

She walked awkwardly on the sidewalk, afraid of bumping into people going against the road. Fortunately, there were very few people on the road. At this time, most of the students were in the classroom, and very few people came out to walk around. She had no class in the morning.

In the distance, there was the hoarse cry of a crow.

She turned her head to the direction of the sound curiously. There was wasteland over there, and the school hadn't figured out how to deal with it.

No black bird flew up.

She explained to herself in her heart, maybe whose cell phone rings?She looked at the people standing by the side of the road chatting in twos and threes.

No, who would use a crow's call as a bell?How unlucky!

She hoped that she had heard it wrong, and hurried to the library to return the book.

Coming out of the library, there are more pedestrians on the road, and some classes have already ended.Returning the same way, she listened with some concern to see if there were any crows, but she didn't hear any crows after walking all the way.

Did you really think about it yourself?

She sighed, too, how could there be crows here in the school?Aren't crows scavenger?Even if there is, they are probably looking for food in the garbage dump on the other side of the wasteland.

While thinking about it, she walked involuntarily towards the wasteland, and the stench of the garbage dump made her tremble.

"Oh, the garbage didn't clear up in time, so it ran into the river." She held her nose, glanced at the garbage dump beside the river, and turned back.

But within a few steps, her footsteps were too stiff to move.

Trembling, she turned around slowly, looked down the slope, and the black birds in front of her fell one after another, returning to the ground like burnt ghost paper.

Location: M University in the main urban area of ​​M City.

"The smell here is really refreshing." Gao Zhenglin covered his nose, and a police officer handed him a thick cotton mask, and Gao Zhenglin handed it to Zheng Jiang behind him.

"This is my assistant." Gao Zhenglin said to the task force leader.

The leader of the special case team is surnamed Xing, and everyone calls him Team Xing. He looks very serious, but in fact he is very responsible for his work and very enthusiastic about people.

"Hello." Zheng Jiang shook hands with him.

Team Xing had a bright smile on his face, which made it easy for people to feel good about him: "I didn't expect the family members to hire a lawyer so soon. They are still so young, and they are really awesome. I don't have much dealings with lawyers, so I might be offended. Don't take me to court."

Gao Zhenglin smiled: "Lawyers and police do the same thing. Everyone has to use their brains, but the police still have to use their hands, and lawyers can only use their mouths."

Team Xing nodded approvingly, brought the investigator's notes and the autopsy report of the forensic doctor, and described to them while reading: "The deceased, Ma Ruirui, was 23 years old this year and was a third-year student at M University. My roommate in the same dormitory a week ago Reported missing, at noon the day before yesterday, he was found dead in a small river next to the school's garbage disposal site."

"Is the first person found by the school's cleaning staff?" Zheng Jiang asked.

"No, it's a student. According to what she said, she heard the cry of a crow, so she came here and found the body." Team Xing said.

They saw that in the cordon, there were still crows wandering around reluctantly, smelling the smell of corruption, looking for "good food" desperately.

"If the body was found the day before yesterday, the weather isn't very hot. Even if he was killed on the day he disappeared, it wouldn't attract crows, right?" Gao Zhenglin asked.

There is a slope next to the garbage disposal center, and there is a small river at the bottom of the slope. To say that the small river is really flattering it, Zheng Jiang thinks it is not an exaggeration to call it a stinky ditch.The river water was turbid and black, exuding a foul smell, not to mention fish, probably not even aquatic plants.There are still some rubbish piled up on the river bed, and the river flows through the gaps of the rubbish with difficulty.

The weeds on both sides of the river were taller than people, and the weeds at the bottom of the slope directly opposite the garbage dump were overwhelmed by the rolling garbage, and a cordon was set up.That's where the body was found.

"The time when the deceased was reported missing does not match the time of death." Team Xing turned to the autopsy report, "It should have been dead for two weeks."

Gao Zhenglin looked at the terrain and asked, "The location of the corpse should be quite conspicuous. Why hasn't anyone found it?"

"The garbage dump is so smelly, who would come here? It's so messy, I guess the cleaners didn't tidy it up properly." Zheng Jiang put on a mask, and the smell of the garbage dump made him want to vomit. Who would stay for long?He really admired the discoverer who saw the corpse, how much perseverance it takes to get close to this place.

Team Xing said: "Yes, no one will go to see it, so the body of the deceased was not found in time."

Seeing Team Xing holding the autopsy report, Gao Zhenglin asked, "What is the cause of death of the deceased?"

"A hard object with an irregular surface hit the head hard, causing the skull to shatter..."

"It must have been stoned to death." Gao Zhenglin changed his language.

"Has the deceased been sexually assaulted?" Zheng Jiang saw the photos of the deceased on the autopsy report. His features were delicate and he seemed to be in good shape.

Team Xing said: "No, but there are still some suspicious wounds on the body."

He made a fool of himself, causing Zheng Jiang to ask curiously, "What scar?"

"Although the corpse was decomposed and was eaten by birds and rats, there were still some flat and neat wounds." Team Xing said.

Gao Zhenglin repeated in doubt: "A neat wound?"

Team Xing gestured: "It's a bit like being cut open by a knife."

The faces of the two of them became uneasy. "Are those traumas caused after death or during life?" Gao Zhenglin asked.

"All."

Because of the exchange and study between law firms, Gao Zhenglin was sent to a law firm in the neighboring city M. He simply took Zheng Jiang with him and traveled while studying.It just so happened that a high school murder case occurred in M ​​City, and the lawyers in charge of criminal cases in the firm, one was assigned to Gao Zhenglin's firm, and the other was on maternity leave, so the heads of the two firms discussed it and let Gao Zhenglin Take the case.

"The deceased had been dead for two weeks, and the roommates in the dormitory only reported missing a week ago. Did they rarely live in the dormitory, so the roommates didn't get suspicious early?" Zheng Jiang asked.

Team Xing shook his head and replied: "We haven't investigated in this direction yet, we are now looking for the scene of the first murder."

"Isn't this the scene of the murder?" Zheng Jiang asked in surprise, "Is this the scene of the corpse throwing?"

"We also found dragged abrasions on the body, and no bloody stones were found at the scene, and there were very few bloodstains on the ground," Team Xing said.

Zheng Jiang thought for a moment and said, "Could it be that the garbage dump was attacked here and then pushed downhill... No, no, no, it's impossible for the deceased to walk to the garbage dump on their own initiative. The smell is too bad."

If the deceased did not take the initiative to go near the garbage dump, it would be difficult for the murderer to carry out the steps of sneak attack, cutting, and throwing the body.So the scene of the first murder is really not here?

Gao Zhenglin said: "If it is dragging, it means that the murderer is not strong enough, maybe he is short and thin..."

Team Xing interjected: "It may also be that she hates the deceased and wants to avoid contact with her, or that she is worried about getting blood after hurting the deceased."

Gao Zhenglin was speechless because of his rebuttals, Zheng Jiang asked Team Xing: "Can we go talk to the deceased's roommate?"

Team Xing took a piece of paper, wrote some words, and handed it to them: "Dormitory number and floor room number, be kind when you talk to them. It's best after lunch, they still have classes."

Zheng Jiang curled his lips: "The people around me are still in the mood to go to class after death? Lawyer Gao even gave political classes to junior high school students before."

"Junior high school or high school?" Gao Zhenglin felt that his memory was confused.

Zheng Jiang, who was still sure of his memory, became confused when he said it.
