Chapter 287
Yan Yunying walked to Eve's side and looked at it, frowning, "It looks like an oil drum, it's so rusted that you can't even see its original appearance."

"The logo and printing on it are all gone," Eve said. "However, the barrel is very old, but the chain is new. The ax over there is also put away, and the chain should have been cut with it. The lid was knocked off with the back of the ax."

A police officer behind him heard the words and said, "Xie Gang said that he jumped open the barrel by himself."

Yan Yunying turned her head to look at the police officer, and said in a calm tone, "Put the ax away."

After finishing speaking, she asked Eve again: "What are you going to do with this corpse? Take the barrel with you?"

"Well, I don't know what else is in the bucket, so I have to take it with me."

Yan Yunying smiled, "Fortunately, I had the foresight to ask them to drive a truck over. I'll ask them to fix the bucket with a rope and drag it to the shore before loading it into the truck."

After all, he ordered a few people to put on boots and trousers, and wait for the trace inspection experts to finish taking pictures and get the certificates before preparing to go on.

Eve also picked up a pair of boot pants, took off her sneakers and put them on, then put the two straps on her shoulders, and jumped off the pier neatly sideways.

Yan Yunying raised her eyebrows, but said nothing.

What she admires most is Eve's point. Even if she doesn't do anything in her capacity, she just goes to the office to drink tea and look at the computer every day to dawdle, but she just wants to rush to the front. What kind of dirty work? Do all the hard work.

The mud was slippery, but she could still stand still. Eve took the gloves thrown by Yan Yunying and walked carefully towards the big bucket. While putting on the gloves, she picked up the lid of the bucket, walked to the side of the bucket and put the lid back on.

As he got closer, the stench became more and more disgusting. Even Eve couldn't help but feel his entire stomach churning.

After closing the lid, she raised her fist and slammed the lid tightly, signaling the people on the shore to throw the rope over.

Yan Yunying looked at Eve, and then looked at the subordinates who were going down together, but one by one bent over and vomited on the other side, feeling an urge to raise their hands to cover their faces.

Forget it, she has never seen anyone who is stronger than that woman.

She threw the first rope over, and Eve caught it and tied a slipknot. She put the noose around the part of the vat above the water, pulled it down to about 35 centimeters from the mouth of the barrel, and then tied the knot tightly.

After doing this, Eve hugged the vat and moved its underwater part. With her movements, pieces of rust fell off and fell into the mud.

Seeing this, Yan Yunying put on a straight face, and shouted: "You guys, have you finished throwing up yet? Hurry over and help!"

It's really blinding, all the old men are not as strong as a woman!

Those police officers wiped their mouths with their sleeves and hurried over to help.

Since the lid was tightly closed, the smell was relatively small, and several people worked together to move the vat to the shore.

Eve stopped every few steps to see if the body was protruding from the bottom.The water bank was very steep, and with one step, the water reached her tibia, and after another step, it reached her knees.

Several people moved forward with difficulty, moving the vat step by step.

After a while, the water was waist deep, and the feet of several people could not be seen clearly in the muddy water.

Eve looked at Yan Yunying and asked her to throw down another rope. After catching it, she tied a slipknot again, took a breath and squatted down, trying to put the slipknot on the underwater part of the bucket.

The water was very dirty and muddy, she couldn't open her eyes at all, the rope slipped down again and again, and she had to raise her head to inhale and squat down again and again.

The other four worked together to lift the bucket a little and let her put on the noose. Seeing her fail again and again, they didn't have any impatience in their hearts, but a little admiration.

Seeing that the tide was starting to rise, and the water surface had climbed to the mouth of the bucket, just when Yan Yunying was about to ask if there should be a different method, Eve finally got it done.

She stood up and wiped her face, waved to Yan Yunying, indicating that she could drive.

At this time, Eve was already dripping wet and gasping for breath. She pulled the rope and it was very strong. Then she gave a signal, and the truck started at the pier.

The rope was slowly tightened, and the vat shook. The five of them held their breath, squatting halfway to stabilize the vat and pushing forward.

The vat moved slowly, filling the void with a bubbling of water from the mud, and dirty water trickled down through the cracks.

It took some effort to move the barrel to the high-tide line, and some more work to get it out of the mud and onto the shore.

After Eve and the others finally climbed ashore, they lost all strength and sat on the ground gasping for breath.

Yan Yunying took a bottle of mineral water and asked Eve to wash her face and rinse her mouth, "You go to Xie Gang's place to wash first, I have a clean change of clothes in the car, and they are clean, so you can accommodate them first .”

"Thank you."

Eve took a few breaths, then got up and walked to Xie Gang's house, took off her boots, trousers and wet and dirty clothes in the bathroom, when Yan Yunying finished rinsing, she also took the clothes, knocked on the bathroom door and handed them to her .

It was a tracksuit with the scent of laundry detergent on it.

After taking a hot bath and putting on clean clothes, Eve felt alive again.

Outside, Yan Yunying was trying to get someone to load the oil drums onto the truck.

After finally pushing the bucket into the car, the other four police officers also cleaned it at Xie Gang’s brother’s house, and borrowed the brothers’ clothes to change into.

In the car, Yan Yunying asked: "Do you think this corpse has anything to do with the previous two?"

Eve wiped her hair with a towel, and said calmly: "I don't know, I have to go back and have an inspection to find out. But, why do you have such an idea?"

"It's just a kind of intuition," Yan Yunying curled her lips, "Recently, I've been driven crazy by the Seven Deadly Sins and the Lex family."

Eve didn't speak, but she also had such a premonition in her heart.

Back at the office, Yan Yunying was in charge of directing the people to move the vat to the autopsy room. Eve went to the autopsy room first, entered the data in the computer, and wrote YC20191122071 on the identification plate of No. [-] autopsy table.

As soon as it was finished, Yan Yunying and two police officers came in pushing the cart.

The assistant came over and first took pictures of the barrel and the iron chain. Eve put on her overalls, took out two protective masks, handed one to Yan Yunying, put one on herself, and then put on gloves.

The mud from the bucket slowly spread across the floor, and the air began to smell of decay.

After the assistant took the photo, the two checked the appearance of the barrel together. As Eve expected at the beginning, the markings and words on the barrel were gone.

"The barrels are so common, there's nothing specific about them," Eve said.

The assistant found a crowbar and a hacksaw, put on a pair of leather gloves, and began to pry open the lid from one side, then tried to lift the lid, but the lid did not budge.

The corners of Yan Yunying's eyes twitched, "You cover it really tight."

If she was not mistaken, the woman hit her directly with her fist. If she had hit someone, one punch would have broken her ribs.

Eve: "I'm afraid the lid will come off when I move it."

Yan Yunying didn't want to say anything anymore, she put on her gloves and went to help, the two pressed the handle together, the lid was finally half opened, and iron filings fell down.

The assistant reached in, grabbed the lid and pulled it out, first moving in a circle and then suddenly lifting it upwards, the lid was finally completely removed.

Open the lid again, a stale and damp smell rises from the bottom of the barrel, including the smell of rotting seaweed, stinky salt water, and more of the rotten smell of corpses.

Eve took out the flashlight, leaned over with Yan Yunying and looked in.

Inside was something human-shaped, but hardly recognizable, a strange pewter that sat curled up inside, with its head on its lap.

Yan Yunying desperately resisted the feeling of wanting to vomit, "How could this be?"

"Because of the moisture, the hydrolysis and hydrogenation of the body fat produces a substance containing fatty acids and glycerin. This greasy, sometimes waxy substance is commonly known as corpse wax. This corpse has been completely waxed. .”

Once formed, wax remains as a greasy tissue for a long time.Eve has seen a case where the wax completely maintained the surface characteristics of the deceased, but the inside was rotted into a ball.

Yan Yunying was almost suffocated by the smoke, she took two steps back, and analyzed: "It stands to reason that you should put your feet in first, and then slide your body in, this posture is a bit strange."

"It could also be that the victim was forced to climb in by herself," Eve said.

"Climb in bare?"

"The corpse looks very small." Eve said something that seemed wrong.

Yan Yunying was taken aback for a moment, but when she realized what Eve meant, anger welled up in her heart, "You mean this is a woman?"

Eve pursed her lips, but did not answer.

She has confirmed it in her heart.

Yan Yunying clenched her fists. She has been a police officer for so long, and she has seen too many injured housewives, girls, stepdaughters, waitresses... The gender of a woman means weakness, and she has to be injured and beaten.

"There's still a lot of sand underneath," Eve suppressed her anger, and continued, "It may be used to add weight."

"If that's the case, you should choose stone." Yan Yunying said, "or some iron or something like that. There is a hole rusted here, and the sand leaked from here, which explains why it can float and be washed away. to shore."

Eve glanced at the hole and said, "Move the body to the table."

The three worked together to move the vat to the ground. The assistant put on goggles and started a chainsaw to cut a hole in the oil vat from both sides from top to bottom. The bottom of the vat was also sawed off, leaving only the part against which the corpse was leaning.

The body lay in the lower half of the oil drum, the head buried tightly between the bent legs, the knees and lower legs somewhat damaged from friction with the inside of the drum.

While the assistant was sawing the bucket, Eve wrapped the stretcher bed with a piece of plastic film, took it to the side of the bucket and set it up, grabbed the head of the deceased, the assistant supported the buttocks, and the assistant fixed the feet.

"Are you ready?" Eve asked.

The two nodded, and at Eve's order, they tentatively lifted up a little bit to see if they could grasp the greasy muscles.

"Okay." Eve held her breath and said, "Continue."
