I am a super cop

Chapter 1498 Strange Corpse
The rescue operation lasted for a day and a night. As the typhoon moved northward, the overall weather in Jiangnan City gradually stabilized.

Since the Nishizawa Reservoir was opened for flood discharge, the overall safety of the Nishizawa Reservoir was also guaranteed.

After unanimous inspection by technical experts, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Beside the Caesar Reservoir, a middle-aged Mediterranean man took off his glasses, wiped them twice, put them back on the bridge of his nose, and said slowly:

"The Nishizawa Reservoir is generally safe. These cracks will not cause a breach of the Nishizawa Reservoir as a whole."

"However, this is also a preliminary judgment. In the next few days, we will also send other expert groups to repeatedly demonstrate the situation of the Xizawa Reservoir."

"If it needs to be refurbished, we will also give a specific plan."

"Director Liu." The mayor of Xize Town held the hands of the Mediterranean man tightly, and said gratefully: "It would be great if this is the case. We in Xize Town have paid too much for flood relief."

"I know that you comrades in Xize Town have worked hard, and I also thank you for your efforts in Xize Town."

Director Liu patted the mayor on the back of his hand, turned his head to look at the representatives of the rescue team, and said with emotion: "The Xizawa Reservoir is preserved, and everything will be fine."

"Now the water is slowly descending. The most important thing is to help the residents of Caesar Town return to their homes."

"Don't worry." A major of the armed police came out and said, "The residents of Xize Town who have been temporarily transferred out, we will bring them back as soon as possible."

"In addition, we can also leave it to us to clean up the silt on the main road nearby."

"And us." Another commander of the fire rescue team said.

The mayor looked at everyone, nodded silently, and bowed to thank everyone: "Thousands of words can't express my gratitude to you. In short, on behalf of all residents of Xize Town, thank you, thank you rescue teams, In times of crisis, help our residents of Xize Town."

"I would also like to thank those kind-hearted people who donated materials for free, and thank them for their help to our Nishizawa Town..."

The mayor has been talking on the dam, but his words are choked up.

Nishizawa Town was flooded and suffered heavy losses, and the mayor felt uncomfortable.

But watching the flood recede, the weather gradually improved.

The mayor is also full of gratitude for the various rescue teams and caring people who came to support.

Gu Chen took the initiative to step forward, and said comfortingly, "Don't worry, the city is already actively dispatching supplies, and a large amount of supplies will be transported into Xize Town soon."

"In addition, Nishizawa Town should also count the damage as soon as possible, and respond positively. The higher-ups should give you a lot of support, especially in terms of reconstruction."

"Yes, you're right." The mayor suddenly realized, and after recovering from the uncomfortable feeling just now, he also patted Gu Chen on the shoulder and said with a smile:

"Comrade police, thank you this time. I still have a lot of work to do. I may not have treated you well to the rescue team. Please forgive me."

"It's okay, we're here to help you, you don't have to worry about us." Gu Chen was also polite to the mayor.

After all, Gu Chen could see now that the mayor felt aggrieved.

The devastated Nishizawa Town is already enough for the mayor to worry about at this moment.

As a local parent officer, no one wants their jurisdiction to become like this, so the mayor has been forcibly suppressing his own sadness while communicating with everyone.

For Gu Chen, the mayor has already seen this point thoroughly.

The mayor sniffed, wiped away the teardrops from the corners of his eyes, and said with a forced smile, "I heard that your father runs a non-staple food supermarket. This time we were flooded in Xize Town, he directly brought a truckload of supplies and donated them to Is there such a thing in our Nishizawa Town?"

"It's nothing more than a little effort." Gu Chen heard the mayor's remarks, and smiled lightly, and replied: "My father always said that when one side is in trouble, all sides support it. Everyone is a descendant of Yan and Huang, and they are all fellow villagers in Jiangnan City."

"Xizawa Town was hit by floods, and he looked worried, thinking that there might be an urgent need for food, water, and some living supplies in Nishizawa Town."

"So he didn't think too much about it, so he called a big truck and brought the supplies directly."

"Thank you, thank you so much." The mayor patted Gu Chen's shoulder heavily with his right hand, and said involuntarily, "We will remember the deeds of you and your father..."

Gu Chen just wanted to reply, but the phone rang suddenly.

Smiling at the mayor, Gu Chen took out his phone and swiped the answer button.

At this moment, Police Officer Wang on the other end of the phone also said anxiously: "Gu Chen, come here quickly, we have found the old man you are looking for."

"Found it?" Hearing the good news, Gu Chen was also very excited, and hurriedly asked, "Is he okay now?"

Police officer Wang on the other end of the phone also sighed: "Unfortunately, he is dead now, and we have fished his body out of the water."

"What? He's dead?" Hearing the news, Gu Chen's head was instantly stunned.

Before that, Gu Chen thought about continuing to organize personnel to further search for the whereabouts of the missing old man.

But now it seems that the person has been found, but the person is gone.

This result was not what Gu Chen wanted to see.

With a heavy heart, Gu Chen directly explained to the mayor and the other rescue team leaders: "I have to deal with something now, I have to go first."

"it is good."

"Captain Gu, be careful on slippery roads."

"Team Gu go slowly."

……

Everyone looked at the back of Gu Chen leaving quickly, and they all walked forward at the same time, feeling a lot of emotion towards Gu Chen's direction.

"He is already the captain of the criminal investigation team at such a young age."

"This guy's future is limitless."

"Yeah, the family is not bad either. My father donates a truckload of supplies. The family is very positive."

"Gu Chen? Well, I seem to have seen it in the media often. I really think he is the police poster outside my neighborhood."

……

Everyone started to discuss Gu Chen's situation after talking to each other.

But more people are with envy.

On the other side, when Gu Chen received a call from Police Officer Wang, he rushed down the mountain non-stop.

After running wildly all the way, he finally arrived at the Central Elementary School of Xize Town at the fastest speed.

At this moment, an old man was lying on a plastic sheet at the entrance of the Central Primary School in Xize Town.

The onlookers were also separated by the police, but everyone was still quite curious about the old man.

"How is it?" Gu Chen trotted over, pushed away a few young police officers, and came directly to the old man.

Lu Weiwei turned her head and whispered back: "This is the missing old man we are looking for."

"How did you find him?" Gu Chen took out his white gloves, put them on, and quickly squatted in front of the old man to check.

Yuan Shasha replied, "When I took a few students to search downstream, I found a dead body hanging by a big tree beside the river."

"Because the river was rising at that time, and the branches had hooked structures that hooked people over there, so we went there together and transported the corpse back."

"Then how are you sure that this old man is the one we are looking for?" Gu Chen asked again.

Lu Weiwei quickly replied: "We asked the group of people who stayed at the central primary school in Xize Town, and several of them were from the village on the other side of the river. They told us that this is the old man who lives alone in the old house."

"How could this be?" Hearing Lu Weiwei's words, Gu Chen couldn't accept it for a while.

You know, according to the previous statement, the old man should have good water skills, and even many people in the village started to learn to swim, all learning from this old man.

But now, Dashui was ruthless and sent the old man away.

Feeling a little regretful, Gu Chen couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "It's a pity, it would have been great if we had discovered this old man at that time, but we were obviously around the old man's house at the time, but why didn't we find this old man entering the water? "

"Maybe it was because of the violent storm and the loud noise, Captain Gu, you don't have to blame yourself."

A police cadet saw that Gu Chen was blaming himself, so he hurried over to comfort him.

Although what the student policeman said made some sense, Gu Chen actually knew it very well.

I have a master-level observation ability, and my observation of the surrounding details and movements is several times that of ordinary people.

Even in a stormy environment, Gu Chen can still hear any call.

Even if the old man who entered the water at that time, Gu Chen could quickly locate the old man as long as he yelled, even if it was just a sentence.

But none of this happened.

Moreover, when the old man enters the water, there will inevitably be huge movements.

But from this point alone, Gu Chen still didn't notice any movement.

Therefore, in Gu Chen's view, the consolation of the student policeman seemed suspicious.

Seeing that the old man's body was soaked in turbid water, Gu Chen briefly checked the old man's body, but suddenly found that the condition of the old man's body seemed to be abnormal.

"That's not right."

"What's the matter?" Hearing what Gu Chen said, Police Officer Wang rushed forward and asked Gu Chen, "Is there any problem?"

"The corpse... seems to be a little bit wrong." Gu Chen repeatedly observed the old man's facial features, and then checked the old man's nails and other key parts.

Lu Weiwei stepped forward and asked, "Could it be that the time of death is wrong?"

"You're right." Hearing Lu Weiwei's words, Gu Chen directly echoed, "We participated in the rescue from yesterday's day to today. In terms of time, it's almost a day and a night."

Looking down at his watch, Gu Chen said again: "In terms of time, since we found this old man wearing a coir raincoat and a bamboo hat sitting on the roof yesterday, it has been about 24 hours now, and it will not exceed 25 hours at most. Hours."

"But judging from the characteristics of the old man's death now, it seems that this time has been far exceeded."

"Wh...what?" Hearing Gu Chen's words, the several student policemen around him stared blankly, feeling a little thoughtful and terrified.

Yuan Shasha also asked weakly: "Brother Gu, according to what you mean, this old man died long ago? Before we found him..."

"Shh!" Gu Chen made a booing motion, turned his head and looked at the position behind his eyes.

At this moment, the masses were isolated and did not surround themselves.

But there are still discussions.

The noise covered everything.

Gu Chen reminded the several student policemen around him: "What I just said is just my current speculation, but before the matter is investigated, please keep your mouths in check, do you understand?"

"understand!"

Several school policemen nodded in unison upon hearing this.

Everyone understood what Gu Chen meant.

Gu Chen turned his head and continued to examine the old man's body, and he couldn't help but sigh: "Maybe it's because the body is soaked in water, there may be some errors in judgment, and we need to use some auxiliary tools to further improve the body." detection."

"Send it to the technical department and let Gao Chuanfeng do a diatom test." Officer Wang said.

"Yes." Gu Chen nodded silently, this seemed to be the best way.

After thinking about it, Gu Chen turned to Yuan Shasha and said, "By the way, Xiao Yuan, where did you find this corpse? Can you take me there now?"

"Okay, it's a little distance from here. If Senior Brother Gu wants to go, I can take you there."

Yuan Shasha heard something unusual in Gu Chen's tone, and seemed to have doubts about the old man's death.

Gu Chen turned to look at the other student policemen, and said, "Find something more, cover the corpse, and don't let these people get close."

"Before we come back, don't let anyone move the corpse, do you understand?"

"understand!"

Seemingly feeling that the situation was not right, several school policemen also nodded fiercely and echoed in a low voice.

Afterwards, Gu Chen took Lu Weiwei, Police Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha together in a kayak and started driving towards the location where the body was just found.

After 15 minutes, Yuan Shasha slowed down the speed of the kayak and repeatedly checked against the shore, but did not immediately make a final conclusion.

Lu Weiwei saw that Yuan Shasha was having a hard time finding it, so she asked curiously, "Xiao Yuan, can't you find it?"

"No, I remember that it is in this area, but where is it, let me observe again."

As soon as the words were finished, Yuan Shasha's eyes suddenly lit up at a place, and she quickly said, "Yes, that's where the body was found."

"Is this here?" Gu Chen followed Yuan Shasha's direction, and also pointed forward to confirm.

Yuan Shasha nodded fiercely: "That's right, in order to get the dead body off the hanging branch, we also broke off the strong branch, that's where it is."

After giving clear signs of breaking, Gu Chen immediately approached the kayak slowly until it could touch the shore.

As soon as he touched the shore, Gu Chen jumped into the water and climbed directly to the shore.

Seeing this, Lu Weiwei also followed closely behind, followed by Yuan Shasha.

Officer Wang didn't want to come and join in the fun, so he stayed on the kayak.

At this moment, Gu Chen walked to the big tree and looked around the big tree.

Coincidentally, this big tree grows on the shore, especially at the root of the big tree, and even stretches along the shore, spreading directly into the water.

Since the branches of the big tree are relatively strong, Gu Chen could tell that it took a lot of trouble for Yuan Shasha and the others to break off the branches and fish the body into the kayak.

"Xiao Yuan." Gu Chen turned to look at Yuan Shasha.

Yuan Shasha immediately replied, "Brother Gu, what's the matter?"

"Retell me your situation at that time, the more detailed the better." Gu Chen said.

Yuan Shasha nodded and said, "According to your request, we actively searched for traces of the old man downstream."

"Later, a younger brother with good eyesight found a dead body floating on the shore."

"So we didn't think much about it at the time, and just drove the kayak and leaned over."

"And then?" Gu Chen asked again.

"Then?" Yuan Shasha was taken aback, and quickly replied: "Then we found out that the corpse of an old man was hanging on the shore, and it looked like he was drowning."

"When we were about to start the rescue, we found that his head was facing the water and he was not breathing at all, so we wanted to fish the old man's body into the kayak and bring it back."

"Did you find anything suspicious during the process?" Gu Chen raised his head and asked again.

"Suspicious situation?" Yuan Shasha rubbed her head, and said with some hesitation: "If there is any special situation, it seems that there is no such thing, oh yes, the corpse is hung on the branches and roots, and it is difficult to rescue."

"That's right." Police Officer Wang looked at the structure of the big tree and expressed his opinion: "This tree is indeed very strange. The branches grow into the water, and the roots also spread into the water."

"If there is no such a big tree, maybe this old man's body will continue to float all the way, and float farther downstream."

"Yes." Officer Wang's words also woke Gu Chen up completely.

Gu Chen stood up, touched the branch of the big tree broken by Yuan Shasha and the others, and said involuntarily, "So Xiao Yuan, the old man's body was hooked tightly by these things, right?"

"That's right, it's so tightly hooked that it's hard to take it off. It feels exactly like it's nailed to it."

Yuan Shasha also explained the rescue experience to Gu Chen in detail.

And Gu Chen can roughly see through the creases of these branches, what kind of posture the old man's body should be in when it was hooked.

After thinking for a few seconds, Gu Chen suddenly stood up and shared his thoughts with everyone: "These situations are not the point. The point is that the old man is very good at water, and that is the key."

"Why would a person with good water skills drown in the water? As in yesterday's situation, he can swim to save himself."

"I think anyone who has learned how to swim and try to swim to the shore should not have a big problem."

"But……"

"Junior Brother Gu." Before Gu Chen could finish speaking, Lu Weiwei quickly echoed, "I also feel that this old man's death is getting more and more strange, you see."

Pointing to the thick branches in front of her, Lu Weiwei also expressed her opinion: "These few branches don't seem to be hooked by the corpse just floating over."

"Then what do you think?" Officer Wang, who was sitting on the kayak, also asked curiously.

Lu Weiwei crossed her arms and said thoughtfully, "I feel that, judging from the structural position, it looks a bit like it was deliberately fixed."

"Deliberately fix it? Senior Sister Lu, you mean, the corpse was deliberately fixed in this position?" Yuan Shasha heard Lu Weiwei's words, and seemed to feel a bit fanciful.
