Detective Files II

Chapter 99 Late Night Visitors
Tian Mi thought for a while, then walked downstream along the river bank.

"Why are you going?" Tian Yang quickly chased after him.

"Lu Xiangdong broke a hole in the ice just now, and I heard that the water flowed very fast." Tian Mi raised her hand and pointed to the dark river in front of her while walking: "Since the forensic doctor said that the bones just now were from human hands, there should be more than one in the river." That phalange! We found the bloody coat a short distance upstream from where we found the phalanx. That area is very likely to be the place where the corpse was abandoned. The corpse must have been floating downstream when it was washed by the water. If we look in that direction, we will definitely find other parts!"

"Wait, don't worry!" Tian Yang hurriedly stopped her when he heard this, "Aren't you going to salvage it now?"

"Of course! The water keeps flowing! If you don't fish it now, you won't know where it will go tomorrow!" Tian Mi stared, not understanding why her brother, who was much more experienced than herself, was so inactive.

"I know what you said, but now the lights are dark, do you think you are a night-vision animal?" Tian Yang shook his head funny: "Go back first, at least bring the lighting equipment before coming back!"

A group of five people returned to Niu Fu's house in the dark. Tian Yang's car carrying the forensic doctor was parked at the gate of the courtyard. When he walked to the door, Tian Yang stopped and said to the other three people: "I will send the forensic doctor back to the bureau first, and then come back to the hospital." The river meets you!"

"Okay! Be careful on the road!" Tian Mi agreed, not forgetting to tell her that she is her brother after all, so she must pay attention to the efficiency of investigations, and her own safety should not be ignored either.

Sending Tian Yang and the forensic doctor away, the three of them made simple preparations. In order not to cause panic, no one made any noise. Fortunately, it was past dinner time, and several students went back to their rooms. Only Niu Fufu and Lao Niu The mother-in-law and the two stayed in the main house. Niu Fufu helped the three of them get three pairs of high-top rubber water shoes. They also brought their own, but Tian Mi did not. Thanks to Niu Fu's cleverness, he dug out a flashlight that could be worn on his head from the cupboard and lent it to Tian Mi.

When he was about to leave, Mo Dou finally couldn't help asking Tian Mi: "Are you sure you want to go?"

"Why ask such a stupid question?" Tian Mi was puzzled by his question: "If Lu Xiangdong went together, why didn't I go?"

"Dr. Lu is a big man after all, but you are still a little girl..." It turned out that Mo Dou was worried about this. Indeed, the night in the countryside is especially dark. It is already past seven o'clock in the evening, and there is dead silence outside the courtyard, except for other things. Apart from the dots of light in the villagers' homes, there was no other lighting, and the purpose right now was to go to the river to pick up corpses. It was reasonable for Mo Dou to worry that Tian Mi would not be able to bear it.

It's a pity that Tian Mi didn't appreciate his kindness, she straightened her back and patted her chest: "I'm fine, let's go!"

"It's your decision. You'll cry in fear for a while, but no one will coax you." Lu Xiangdong said sarcastically.

Tian Mi deliberately ignored, followed Mo Dou, and went straight to the river.

For the convenience of getting into the water, none of the three of them wore long coats. They walked in the middle of the wasteland with no exhaust pollution and no high-rise buildings to block the wind. It didn't take long for the whole body to be blown through by the cold wind, and the teeth were chattering, and Tian Mi shrank. neck, followed closely behind Mo Dou, while Lu Xiangdong walked at the rear without haste.

When they got to the river, they first determined the location of the body that was found before, and then the three of them followed the direction of the river and began to grope and search hard.

Winter is full of ice and snow. It didn't take long before the cold night wind blew on the faces of the three people, and it became painful like a knife cut. What was more uncomfortable than that was that their feet were immersed in the icy river water Although there were rubber water shoes to block the water, they couldn't block the freezing temperature. For the first half an hour, Tian Mi could still feel that her feet were being pricked by many dense embroidery needles. , In the end, the consciousness has gradually become numb, and she can't even feel her feet.

"Tian Mi, go up and rest for a while!" After a long time, Mo Dou looked up and saw Tian Mi was still soaking in the water. He lowered his head and was busy, thinking about his frozen feet, he felt a little worried about her: "Girl, don't soak in the water for so long! It's too cold!"

"It's okay!" Tian Mi answered without thinking, focusing all her attention on the river.

"Listen to me, go up! Quick!" Mo Dou persuaded again without giving up.

"It's really okay." Tian Mi then raised her head to look at Mo Dou: "Don't tell me that a girl's family is not a girl's family. Let's not talk about it at this juncture. Gender is biased, don't you men deserve to soak in ice water?"

Mo Dou couldn't resist her, so he just nodded and continued to search, not forgetting to joke: "Oh! If all women have your awareness, how much trouble we men will have to save!"

Lu Xiangdong didn't say anything, and didn't respond to Mo Dou's joke, but after listening to the conversation between the two, he stopped and stood up, looked at his watch with the flashlight, then walked to Tian Mi's side in a few steps, pulled Holding her arm, he dragged her to the shore.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Tian Mi was startled by him.

"You have soaked in ice water for long enough, even if you are fighting for women's status, you have achieved your goal." Lu Xiangdong pulled her to the shore, took off the flashlight from her head and hung it on his head. When she was about to speak, she interrupted: "Don't get too excited, I'm just thinking about the majority of male compatriots, in case you get nephritis or something because of catching a cold, you won't be able to implicate your husband in the future, and in the end, the unlucky man will be the man."

"Dr. Lu, you are domineering!" Mo Dou smiled and gave Lu Xiangdong a thumbs up.

"You two are like dogs!" Tian Mi complained, and had no choice but to wait on the bank. Although the bank was also icy and snowy, the cold wind was blowing, but it still felt much better than standing with two feet in the river.

After nearly two hours of searching, there was no gain. The three of them discussed it, but they could only give up temporarily. They planned to continue after dawn, but the search distance needed to be extended a lot.

It was already past ten o'clock at night, and the three of them hadn't even eaten dinner. Fortunately, the old cow woman had left food for them in advance and kept it warm on the stove. Seeing them come back, Take it out of the kitchen immediately and put it on the table steaming hot.

"You guys in the dark, what did you go out to investigate? Going down the river to fish?" The old cow woman looked at the three wet and cold people with a playful and curious face. It seemed that Niu Fufu was very strict this time. He didn't reveal anything to his wife.

The light outside is dim, and no one can see who is clear. When entering the room this time, under the light of the light, the old cow woman groaned, stepped forward to pat Tian Mi, and yelled with emotion: "Look at this girl! Yes! There’s no blood on your face! Sit down, I’ll get you a bowl of ginger soup!”

When she yelled, several other people couldn't help but look at Tian Mi, only to notice that her face was pale and scary.

"Are you okay?" Mo Dou leaned over in concern, and raised his hand to touch Tian Mi's forehead: "Good guy, my hands are cold, and your forehead is no warmer than mine!"

"Why don't I say, girl, what kind of policeman is she?" The old cow woman came in from the outhouse with ginger soup, and before she stepped into the door, she had already picked up what Mo Dou had said.

"Look at what you said, I'm fine! It's just too cold outside just now, just take it easy for a while!" Tian Mi took the soup bowl from the old cow woman: "Aunt Niu made this specially. What about ginger soup!"

The three of them ate a late dinner in a hurry. After dinner, Niu Fu sent the old cow woman to the kitchen with the excuse of washing the dishes.

"Comrade policeman, did you find anything?" After confirming that the old cow woman had really gone to the kitchen, Niu Fufu lowered his voice and asked mysteriously.

Tian Mi didn't say a word, Mo Dou hesitated and said, "Not yet."

After hearing his answer, Niu Fufu seemed to be greatly relieved. After pondering for a while, he couldn't help asking: "Then, could it be a coincidence that Heizi dug out the piece of cloth or something? I always feel that we If the village is in place, there will be no life lawsuits!"

"Your village is not a holy land of Taoyuan, anything is still possible." Mo Dou retorted.

While talking, they heard voices in the yard outside, several people in the room looked out of the window one after another, and soon saw a figure walking towards the room.

Niu Fu felt a little uneasy: "Who could it be in the middle of the night?"

When the people outside the house came to the light in front of the window, Tian Mi recognized him first: "Hey? Isn't that the forensic doctor who came with my brother earlier?"

When he heard that it was a member of the Public Security Bureau, Niu Fufu became more at ease, and hurried over to open the door to let him in.

The forensic doctor entered, took off his hat and scarf, and revealed a beautiful face.

This was the first time Tian Mi and the others saw the appearance of this female forensic doctor today. They did not expect that she was not only young, but also a beautiful woman.

"Sorry to bother you by coming here so late!" The female forensic doctor greeted several people generously, and introduced herself: "My name is Wang Chun."

"Wang Fayi, didn't you go back to City C with Tian Yang?" Mo Dou was surprised. The distance from City C to Yunding Village is not close. Tian Yang was able to arrive in a short time before, and he definitely drove the car like an airplane. The result, but even if the car is used as a rocket, it is impossible to go back and forth in such a short time.

"I asked him to let me out of the car halfway, and I came back by myself!" Wang Chun answered Mo Dou's question with a smile: "I think that since you have discovered something, it is inevitable that you will need a forensic doctor to accompany you in the next process, so I plan to Come back, anyway, the examination can be handed over to other forensic doctors. Ben Tian police officer said that he would send me back, I was afraid of delaying the progress, so I didn’t bother him.”
