Chapter 8, The Sunken Corpse

In such a wonderful time, shouldn't one go to a place where money can buy time?

Do you want to go? Huh? I am afraid I might scare you. However, Duan Fei does not mind

"Then hurry in, both Team Leader Wu and Team Leader Ma are here." Master Sun quickly pulled aside the cordon, allowing Sun Jie's vehicle to pass. At this moment, Wang Liang felt it was inappropriate to get out of the car, so he could only follow in helplessly.

Sun Jie drove directly to the entrance of Yuzhen Wharf Park, where six or seven police cars had already surrounded the area. The public was unable to enter the park, resulting in no one stopping to watch.

"What is going on? I want to get off the car." At this moment, Wang Liang finally realized what was happening! Why are we going to the scene?

"Don't, Sister Fei, I also want to go and take a look." Upon hearing that there was a major case, Bai Song immediately raised his hand to volunteer.

The description of words can never match the impact of being present; although the smell is not very strong due to the waterlogged corpses being so far away, it remains quite distinct. Moreover, the situation approaching high decay is also unbearable.

The person who stopped the car was none other than Master Sun from the patrol team, where the four individuals had previously undergone training. Since the patrol officers are mobile law enforcement personnel, this individual was indeed the most suitable for overseeing the surrounding situation.

Zhou's team has left, and the expressions of the four individuals are no longer as calm as they were in the car; it is evident that this is not merely a simple river drift.

"Xiao Sun, I knew you would come," Master Sun greeted. "Oh, so many people? How come you all came together?"

"What are you getting off for? We're already on the expressway, and there's an overpass ahead! What's wrong? Did you buy a huge accident insurance policy?" Bai Song said with a smile as he held onto Wang Liang's arm, thinking it was wiser to have someone to back him up in such situations.

The phone call was still very brief; Duan Fei said a few words such as "yes," "no problem," and "good" before hanging up the phone

Bai Song remained silent; in any case, the priority was to lure Wang Liang onto the pirate ship first.

Upon arriving at the entrance of the park, Wang Liang was about to get out of the car when, at that moment, Sun Jie’s vehicle was intercepted by someone

Team Leader Zhou turned around and glanced at the eyes of the four individuals, "Who are these two?"

At around 3 PM, there were not many cars on the road. After about ten minutes, Sun drove the car to the destination, which is within the jurisdiction of the Yuzhen Police Station

"They are police officers from our batch," Sun Jie said

Bai Song fixed his gaze on the contents of the box, which were dark and soft, and he could not tell what they were. However, a strong wave of nausea washed over him in an instant. He quickly pinched the inner side of his forearm with force; the pain alleviated the feeling of nausea somewhat, and fortunately, he did not vomit.

From the distance of the white pine, one can no longer discern gender, as what is presented on site is a large barrel and several square meters of swollen, decayed mass, in colors ranging from black, dark purple, pale white, to yellow, encompassing a variety of hues.

Inside the barrel, there are pieces of corpses that have been soaked for an unknown duration

Today is the weekend! Moreover, it is a weekend without duty! Sun Jie and Duan Fei are fulfilling their responsibilities, and they must go. What is Bai Song acting crazy for?

Walking down the stairs below the park for several dozen meters, one is almost at the bank of the Tianhe River. Here, there is a second line of caution, and a dozen police officers have gathered, among whom several are clearly leaders. However, none of the four recognize these leaders. Fortunately, a few criminal police officers are acquainted with Sun Jie and Duan Fei. The two received their items and directly entered the scene, while Bai Song and Wang Liang were unable to enter.

Generally, those who die from drowning, jumping into rivers, or accidentally falling into rivers are commonly referred to as "river drifters." Such scenes are relatively common and do not warrant such a large-scale response.

At this moment, the surface of the water rippled, and it was only then that Bai Song noticed a police boat on the water. Two professional divers emerged from the water, each holding a transparent hard plastic box containing some items they had found underwater.

Sun Jie and Duan Fei had just walked into the scene, and Bai Song, following their direction, immediately saw the situation at the site. In an instant, he felt a sensation of constriction in his throat, and a faint but distinct odor wafted into his nose.

It seems a bit troublesome, let's just go directly. Xiaosong and Xiaoliang, you two can take a taxi, there's no other way. " Duan Fei said helplessly. Because Sun Jie and Duan Fei had studied for four more years, they were four to five years older than Bai Song and the others, and they were also married, generally taking on the role of older sisters.

In fact, it is only a few meters away from the scene, and the situation at the site is fully visible.

Team Leader Zhou glanced at Wang Liang again, pondered for half a second, and nodded: "Do not take photos inside, do not make it public, and also go get a few masks and shoe covers." After saying this, Team Leader Zhou turned to leave, but after taking a few steps, he stopped again and turned back: "These two little ones should not enter the innermost part of the scene, and Sun Jie, you and Duan Fei, cooperate well with Forensic Doctor Li, and make sure to learn properly."

As soon as Duan Feigang finished speaking, the phone rang. She put on an expression of "I told you so" and answered the call

"What’s the matter? If you want me to accompany you, just say so. Why are you starting to flatter me?" Duan Fei shot Sun Jie a sideways glance and said, "If it really is a big event, I’m sure the leaders wouldn’t forget to invite me."

The Yu Town Wharf is located in the gentle flow area of the Tianhe River, where the river surface is extremely wide, the water is several meters deep and calm. In such a place, a metal barrel has sunk, and very few people are able to discover it

"Alright, let's go." Sun Jie said little and started the vehicle, entering the main road

"Originally, we were supposed to have a meal together, but due to some unexpected matters, *Tu* and *Shu* came along as well," Sun Jie said as he rolled down the car window

Wang Liang shot a glare at Bai Song and said, "Do as you wish, anyway, once we arrive, I will just take a taxi and leave"

At this moment, Wang Liang was in an even more dire situation

The Tianhe River runs through the entire city of Tianhua, and the Jiuhou Bridge Police Station is famous for a bridge, while the Yuzhen Police Station is known for its fishing industry. As time has passed, there are now very few fishermen in the Tianhe River, yet the name of Yuzhen, which is a homophone for "fish," has remained unchanged. The current Yuzhen Wharf has become a small park, and the buildings here have been designated as cultural heritage sites protected by the city of Tianhua. Therefore, this small park is generally closed to the public, only opening on certain holidays when a large number of security personnel are stationed there.

A large oil barrel, approximately 80 centimeters in height and about 50 centimeters in diameter

"It's nothing, it's nothing. I'm a police officer, what do I have to be afraid of?" Bai Song patted his chest.

The park is not large, and at this moment, seven or eight cars have already parked, occupying more than half of the square in the park. After stopping the car, several people headed towards the crowded area, with Wang Liang walking at the back.

Captain Zhou! Sun Jie saw a middle-aged man and quickly approached, "Both Duan Fei and I have arrived, what is the situation?"
