reborn as an official

Chapter 58 Surprised by the Dead

Xu Li took the lead and walked in the front. The big guy walked in the muddy water with one foot deep and one foot shallow. The knee-deep muddy water couldn't walk fast at all.Fortunately, the policemen at the police station are in good physical condition and can barely keep up with Xu Li's footsteps. But although Wang Mingquan has lived in the countryside for most of his life, since he became the village party secretary, he seldom does anything in the field. After a few hundred meters, I was already exhausted and couldn't keep up.

Xu Li had no choice but to slow down and let the policemen support Wang Mingquan. Wang Mingquan got anxious and dragged the shoes on his feet. Without the drag of the shoes, Wang Mingquan immediately felt several pounds lighter under his feet and walked faster. .After walking for nearly half an hour, we finally reached the bank of the Dasha River.Although everyone was wearing raincoats, they were already drenched, and their shoes were already packed, especially Wang Mingquan. Because he took off his shoes, his feet were cut by sand and stones, and they were still bleeding.

However, Xu Li could only watch them, but he had no time to deal with them. After all, the murder case was the most important thing.Xu Li saw a few people wearing raincoats not far away, gathering together, and knew without asking, that must be the place where the murder happened.Xu Li rushed to the scene of the murder with big strides, followed closely by several police officers.Seeing that the police had arrived, those people gathered around hurriedly stepped aside.Xu Licai saw a dead body covered by a piece of broken sack on the ground.

The two policemen who came with Xu Li have been in the township police station for so many years, and they have never encountered a murder case!Seeing this, he didn't dare to go forward, but went straight to hide.Xu Li had seen at least a few thousand dead people in his previous life, so he would be afraid of this.He didn't have time to argue with those cowards, so he wiped the rainwater off his face, stepped forward and opened the torn sack, and saw that the person lying below was wearing a camouflage uniform, but it was already in tatters, with bare feet.The whole person has been swollen and completely disfigured, and the parts exposed outside the clothes have been rotted, and the original appearance cannot be seen at all. It seems that he has been dead for nearly a month.

Xu Li couldn't see any clues for a while, so he had to cover the broken sack again, turned his head and said to the two policemen who followed: "Old Liu, Xiao Wang, you two, come here and protect the scene. Before people from the Public Security Bureau come, no one is allowed to approach!"

"Yes!" There were two policemen, one named Liu Baolong, who was about 40 years old, and the other named Wang Zhaotian, who was just in his early twenties.Hearing Xu Li's words, he hurried forward to take care of the scene.

Xu Li asked the few people around the corpse just now: "Who was the first to discover this corpse?"

Zhu Mingquan said on the side: "This is Xu Li, the assistant to the mayor of our township. Who discovered it first?"

A strong man in his 40s said: "It's me! My name is Liu Xiaochu, and my family lives by the river. I saw that the rain was getting heavier and heavier. I was worried about the fish hanging in the river, so I came here with my second brother. Look, I happened to see a dark shadow in front of my hanger. Because of the heavy rain, I couldn't see what it was at first. When he came down the river, I realized that it seemed to be a person. My second brother and I I wanted to save people, but the river was too strong, and we rushed back as soon as we got into the water, and we couldn't get close at all. Later, the black shadow was hung by the willow tree roots by the river, so I asked my second brother to go home and scream A few people came back with a rope and wanted to save someone. When we rescued him, he would have died a long time ago!"

"Okay, thank you for your hard work! Where is your home? If it's not far away, you should go home first! People from the County Public Security Bureau will have to wait a while to arrive. I'll call you when they come. They may still I need to ask you something."

Liu Xiaochu nodded and said: "It's all as it should be, but it's a bit unlucky to save a dead person! Assistant Xu, my house is only a few minutes away from here. Look, it's windy and rainy today. It's soaking wet, why don't you go to my house and sit for a while to warm up, and we'll come out when they come!"

"No, I'll wait here with Lao Ji and Xiao Wang! Lao Zhu, you go back with them to rest for a while, and treat the injury on your foot, so it doesn't get infected!"

"Assistant Xu, I want you to go back with us and rest for a while. The County Public Security Bureau is here. We can hear the police car from a long distance away, so we won't delay anything!"

At this time, Liu Baolong and Wang Zhaotian also came over to persuade him: "Assistant Xu, you can go and rest for a while, it will be fine with the two of us here!"

Xu Li thought for a while, then said: "Okay, you guys watch for a while, I'll go to Liu Xiaochu's house and ask them to boil some ginger water and bring it to you, you've been drenched in the rain for a long time, drink some ginger water to warm your body, Don't get caught in this rainy day!"

Xu Li went to Liu Xiaochu's house with Zhu Mingquan, and the phone rang just as he entered.Xu Li saw that the number was the village head Xu Dehou, and when he picked it up, Xu Dehou said, "Xiao Xu, I am Xu Dehou, have you arrived at the scene of the crime yet?"

"It's here! Mayor Xu, do you have any instructions?"

"Xiao Xu, don't be so polite! I'm in the county now and I'm heading back. How's the situation there?"

Xu Li reported the situation on the scene and his own handling method to Xu Dehou.After Xu Dehou heard it, he praised: "Xiao Xu is a college student, and he dealt with it in an orderly manner. Fortunately, you are in the village today, otherwise I don't know what will happen. I am relieved to have you there. I'll be there in a while, so be careful, don't catch a cold!"

"Thank you Township Chief Xu for your concern!" Putting down the phone, Liu Xiaochu found two clothes for Xu Li and asked Xu Li to change into them.Xu Li said: "No need, anyway, I have to go out later, and I will get drenched in whatever clothes I wear on this heavy rainy day, so I'd better wear mine! Lao Liu, please boil some ginger water, and bring it to the two policemen later." , let them drive out the cold."

Seeing that Xu Li insisted on not changing his clothes, everyone had no choice but to give up.Liu Xiaochu's daughter-in-law boiled a large pot of ginger water in the back kitchen.After the ginger water was boiled, Liu Xiaochu was going to deliver it, but was stopped by Xu Li, and said, "I'll go, I don't worry about leaving only those two policemen there. I'll stay with them for a while, and you don't want to go." Yes! Old Zhu, just rest here, don’t walk around, the rain is not clean, don’t infect the wound on your feet.”

After speaking, he took the Jiang Shui from Liu Xiaochu's hand, put on his raincoat again, and rushed to the river in the heavy rain.

Zhu Mingquan and the others looked at Xu Liyuan's back, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.Especially Liu Xiaochu said: "When did we ever see such a leader? He only thinks about us, and doesn't care about himself. He has to run outside in this heavy rain. Brother Zhu, do you think Assistant Xu can stay in our town for long? ? If he can become the secretary of our township, then we ordinary people will be blessed!"

Zhu Mingquan also sighed: "Yes, such a leader is really rare! But in my opinion, Assistant Xu may not stay in our township for long. The more such a good leader is, the better the people will be. more!"
