Attend a classmate's wedding and arrest the bride on the spot

Chapter 157 Men’s Ring in the Mud
Captain Jiang didn't quite understand Ye Chen's request to go to the scene where the body was found first.

But he didn't ask any more questions.

I thought maybe this was Ye Chen's idea of ​​investigating the case.

We got off the expressway and headed directly to Xicheng Canal.

Xicheng Canal was originally a tributary of the Xiliu River. It was introduced into the XC area and a riverside park was built.

The Xicheng Canal flows through the entire southwest part of the city, and then converges with the original Xiliu River.

The normal water level of the river is about two meters throughout the year.

Riverside Park is a place for people throughout the city to walk and relax.

Now it has become deserted because of the discovery of the body, and a long cordon has surrounded an area on the shore under the bridge.

Ye Chen walked to the shore.

There is still a lot of silt piled up on the shore.

They should have been brought out when the corpse was dug up.

Captain Jiang couldn't help but cover his nose with his hands and said: "It's been a few days, but this area still smells so bad! According to our forensic examination, the time of death of the deceased was almost two months ago. Now, it's basically already It’s just a pile of bones, and no valuable evidence has been found!”

Ye Chen nodded and continued walking by the river.

His gaze looked above the spot where the body was found.

Above is an abandoned bridge in Xicheng Canal. The bridge deck is about three or four meters above the water.

Ye Chen turned around and looked around. The two sides of the Xicheng Canal were still some distance away from the water. In order to prevent danger from people fishing beside the canal, protective nets and fences were placed on both sides of the Xicheng Canal.

"When were these protective nets and fences installed?"

Ye Chen asked.

Captain Jiang took a look and replied: "These protective nets were already in place last year. Our city has very strict management on private swimming and fishing. On both sides of the Xicheng Canal, no one is allowed to enter the water. Therefore, these protective nets are basically still In good condition, not damaged.”

Ye Chen nodded and said: "Since the protective net has not been destroyed, then the body of the deceased can only be thrown from the bridge, or thrown from upstream and rushed here?"

Captain Jiang shook his head and said: "When the body was discovered, his hands were still tied tightly. Although it was already a mass of bones, the rope on his hands was not broken. Moreover, there were two more people tied to the body of the deceased. A huge stone! The purpose is probably to let the body of the deceased sink to the bottom of the water without being discovered!"

"With these two stones, it is impossible for the body of the deceased to be washed away. Therefore, this body should be dumped here! It is not washed down from the upstream!"

Ye Chen nodded after listening to Captain Jiang's analysis.

Captain Jiang is worthy of being a member of the provincial criminal investigation team. His analysis of the case is reasonable and thorough.

"Captain Jiang is right!"

"Now that it is certain that the body was thrown from this bridge, have you checked the nearby surveillance from two months ago? Have you found anything??"

Captain Jiang sighed, shook his head, and said: "We immediately thought of checking the surveillance, but this bridge is an abandoned bridge. It is basically a parking area. Some cars have been parked on this bridge for several years. It has not been touched, and there is no surveillance on the bridge. It has been more than two months, and there is really no useful information found."

Ye Chen nodded.

There is no surveillance, and there are no clues about the body. This case is indeed difficult to solve.

Just as Ye Chen was deep in thought, a voice suddenly sounded in his head.

【drop!drop!drop!Key evidence was found five meters ahead! 】

Hearing this voice, Ye Chen couldn't help but be startled.

exhibit?

This skill is the special skill rewarded by the system for detecting the case yesterday, evidence search? !
Directly remind yourself the location of the evidence?Isn’t this awesome? !
Ye Chen's heart moved and he quickly looked in the direction indicated by the system.

I saw that the location indicated by the system was in the thick pool of mud by the river.

Ye Chen quickly walked over.

Seeing Ye Chen running to the mud, Captain Jiang quickly followed him.

He covered his nose and said: "This is where the corpse was recovered. The stench is really suffocating! Xiaoye, please put on your mask first!"

Ye Chen took the mask and put it on, then put on disposable gloves, then picked up the shovel lying aside and started to dig up the mud.

Seeing Ye Chen's actions, Captain Jiang was stunned and explained from the side: "Are you looking for any evidence, Ye Chen? We have carefully checked the rivers and the silt here, and found nothing!" There is no murder weapon or related items!”

But Ye Chen turned a deaf ear to Captain Jiang's words.

Because he knew very well that the evidence was right here.

Because the system has given him clear direction instructions, he will naturally dig to the bottom.

Captain Jiang wanted to step forward to help, but Ye Chen was afraid that his kindness would be a disservice, so he refused.

A man was holding a shovel and rummaging carefully.

Time passed by, and it was almost noon, and the sun's rays gradually became dazzling.

Captain Jiang was afraid that Ye Chen would panic, so he wanted to dissuade him, telling him to go back to the police station with him to rest and look for him again in the afternoon, but Ye Chen decisively refused.

He knew that the evidence would appear soon.

Sure enough, a dazzling light flashed in the mud.

Ye Chen was overjoyed: I found it!
He quickly took out the reflective object.

Captain Jiang was originally very puzzled by Ye Chen's actions, but now he saw that Ye Chen had really dug up something, and he immediately became energetic.

He quickly asked: "What is this???"

Ye Chen handed him a bottle of mineral water and asked him to pour it for him and rinse the items in his hands.

After washing it with water, the whole thing was finally revealed.

It turned out to be a shining silver ring.

"ring??!"

Captain Jiang exclaimed.

Ye Chen nodded, picked up the shining silver ring, and looked at the sun.

This is a ring with no setting and only a small diamond inlaid on the body.

Based on the style and size of the ring, Ye Chen could easily tell that it was a men's ring.

And, it's most likely a wedding ring.

"Is this a diamond ring? It seems whose wedding ring fell into the river."

Captain Jiang said casually. When he finished speaking, he saw Ye Chen's expression of carefully studying the ring and he realized it. He couldn't help but ask: "Xiaoye, don't you think that this ring is different from this one?" Is it related to the case?"

"This ring is a men's ring, but the deceased was a woman. It definitely does not belong to the deceased. Besides, although this ring was found in the mud not far from the body, it is very likely that it was washed down from above. It’s not necessarily related to this case, right?”

Faced with Captain Jiang's words, Ye Chen was speechless, his eyes still staring at the ring.
