Chapter One, the corpse is hanging from the tree

"Dr. Zhou, during your internship, did you handle any cases?"

Xu Dayuan has already gotten out of the car, and at this moment, it is too late for Zhou Ning to say anything. There is no way to retreat; he can only carry the inspection box and grit his teeth to follow suit.

Where is the body, Xu Da

Zhou Ning was taken aback

I was unexpectedly mocked by a system

Finally, after half a month, a case has come in

Xu Dayuan waved his hand towards the criminal police officer behind him, frowning as he instructed

Issue a task: to handle a corpse and conduct a surface autopsy.

Suddenly, I have a bad feeling. Could it be that the starting point I just mentioned was a bit too high?

It was not fear, but rather a visual shock that, for a moment, filled his chest with a sense of oppressive emotion

Zhou Ning was taken aback and quickly got up to grab the microphone

The desk phone rang

Hello, forensic department

A roar indeed proved effective

Xu Dayuan's statement reveals an abundance of information, indicating that there are many onlookers. This suggests that the case is not taking place in a remote area, and it cannot afford to wait. This implies that the scene is horrific and must be dealt with swiftly

Binder: Zhou Ning

Handsome and tall, graduated with a master's degree

After all, being a local, Zhou Ning recognized it after a brief glance; this was the intersection by the North Outer Ring Elevated Bridge, with industrial parks on one side and rural areas of the urban-rural fringe on the other side

As soon as I came downstairs, I saw Xu Dayuan standing in the courtyard, waving at several criminal police officers

"Do you see that? The corpse is hanging from the tree"

Forensic training system

Zhou Ning followed the direction pointed out by Xu Dayuan, taking two steps forward to look. There, on a phoenix tree beside them, at a branch position 1.5 meters above the ground, a fair leg was hanging there

What?

It is not because he witnessed something he should not have seen that the mentor is wary; rather, due to the disjointed nature of his paper, the mentor would never agree to sign it no matter what.

After all, this year marks the first year of implementing the civil service examination, and he was recruited into the forensic department of the Criminal Police Brigade in Qidong County, becoming the envy of many as a civil servant

His master, Medical Examiner Liu, is a good person, but he is getting older and his health is poor, often going to the hospital every few days

Just as I was thinking, the car had already come to a stop

There is one thing he did not tell anyone; whenever Zhou Ning raised his hand to push up his glasses, a transparent display screen would appear in front of him, showing a line of green text: "System loaded 99%"

Monday, September 27, 2010

It is raining

Forget it, his phone is turned off. You should go downstairs; there is a case, follow along and take a look.

In the afternoon, this office is always left with just him. However, there have been no cases these days; it is just that today, it is unclear why Forensic Doctor Liu did not come.

Hello? Is that Xiao Zhou? Where is Medical Examiner Liu?

Several lines of text appeared on the display

Zhou Ning was taken aback; after more than a year of loading, he did not expect that this thing would complete loading at the moment he saw the corpse. But what does this forensic level -2 mean

Age: 26 years old

Having witnessed a dismemberment case is not a bad thing; it indicates good psychological resilience. When we arrive at the scene, you might be able to discern something. Just take a look. The traffic police department reported that a body was found by the roadside, and they are currently reviewing the surveillance footage.

Xu Dayuan placed his hand on Zhou Ning's shoulder and pointed towards a nearby phoenix tree

He put on his mask and latex gloves, trying to calm himself, but his heartbeat only quickened uncontrollably. Taking a deep breath, he lifted the inspection box and raised the caution tape, walking towards Xu Dayuan.

Get in the car, go directly to the scene, and Dr. Zhou will accompany me

As for taking the civil service exam, there was no hope of going to a first-tier city. After wandering around in society for a year, I finally heard from my second uncle that Qidong County was recruiting forensic doctors. He was the only one whose major matched, but he wasn't given a chance to stand out among the mediocre. In a daze, he ended up passing the exam.

"Dr. Zhou, do you have masks? Please distribute them to them."

Comprehensive evaluation

He has also tried changing his glasses or wearing contact lenses, but as long as his hand moves near his head or he makes a gesture of pushing up his glasses, this display still appears, and others cannot see it

Zhou Ning's evaluation of the dental misalignment is quite objective; it neither exaggerates nor belittles the issue. However, what on earth are these six points in the overall assessment?

The phone call ended just like that, and Zhou Ning felt a bit excited, with a hint of nervousness.

What on earth is this, Zhou Ning cannot understand

However

He raised his hand and pushed his glasses.

Ding, the system has been fully loaded and is now starting

Zhou Ning quickened his pace and rushed into a two-story building surrounded by green vines, shaking off the sand and rainwater that splashed onto his feet. Upon seeing someone coming down the stairs, he quickly stepped aside and smiled while nodding, even though he did not know them.

He opened the book "Bone Age Assessment - X-ray Atlas of Chinese Adolescents' Skeletons" displayed on the large monitor, and inside it was tucked a copy of "The Grave Robbers' Chronicles." Finding the place where he had previously read, Zhou Ning finally let out a sigh of relief

Zhou Ning raised his head again; there were hardly any people around the intersection, yet he did not see any bodies and had no idea what these people were gathered around to watch.

Just thinking

What case is Xu involved in

Put the phone away, grab one side of the inspection box, and the DSLR camera from the cabinet, then rush out of the office

Zhou Ning leaned to one side and quickly grabbed the handle above the car door to maintain his balance. This urgency made Zhou Ning's heart tremble.

Xu Dayuan glanced at him but did not answer Zhou Ning's question

Glancing at the mop by the door and then at the rain outside, Zhou Ning directly turned on the air conditioning and sat down at the desk in the corner

He pushed his glasses up, let out a slight sigh, and his expression was filled with concern, making it impossible for him to focus on the book.

Zhou Ning is the newly appointed forensic doctor in Qidong County

The case cannot wait; it needs to be handled promptly as there are many onlookers here

As the crowd boarded the vehicle, Zhou Ning, holding the inspection box, took a seat in the passenger seat next to Xu Dayuan. With the wailing of the siren, the car made a sharp turn and sped away.

Qidong County

From the initial panic and the days of worry that made it impossible to sleep, Zhou Ning has now come to accept the existence of this thing, even carrying a hint of anticipation, after all, who knows what this thing really is

Walking to the easternmost side of the second floor, he used a key to open a dilapidated office. As the door closed, the smile on Zhou Ning's face also faded away

Zhou Ning seemed to be frozen in place, as if even her breathing had come to a halt

Zhou Ning suddenly realized, quickly opened the investigation box, and handed a pack of masks to a passing criminal police officer, who then distributed the masks.

Forensic Level: -2

During the internship, I assisted in handling three cases, one of which was a dismemberment case that lasted three months and was eventually solved, and there was another...

Zhou Ning was flustered

The intersection is cordoned off with yellow warning tape, and outside the tape, there is a dense crowd of people

Zhou Ning cleared his throat, striving to calm himself down

Are you speechless

Raindrops strike the concrete ground, occasionally splashing up some dust.

At that moment, the transparent display screen in front of me reappeared, but the loading progress had changed to 100%, and a voice filled my ears

From this angle, only the legs of the deceased can be seen, with slender ankles and straight calves, wearing dark blue Converse canvas shoes, and the white short socks are stained with purplish-black blood

It has been more than half a month since I arrived, and I have not seen a single hair of the corpse

How do outsiders know that his academic performance is subpar, with a steady decline of failing two courses each year, barely managing to graduate

Do you think Zhou Ning is a poor student

Moreover, the so-called forensic department of the criminal police team consists of only two people; besides Zhou Ning, there is also his mentor, Forensic Doctor Liu Yongxin.

Completion Rewards: Provide random rewards based on the level of completion

Zhou Ning remembered this voice; the person was Xu Dayuan, the captain of the criminal police team in Qidong County. They had met once during a report, and his loud voice left a deep impression.

Xu Da, the forensic expert Liu has not arrived yet. Should I call his mobile phone to ask?

The onlookers surrounding the scene instantly dispersed by more than half, and even those who remained retreated several meters back, or simply stood on various elevated spots across the street, gazing in this direction

Qindao City

Before Zhou Ning could finish his recollection, Xu Dayuan interrupted him.

Xu Dayuan on the opposite side paused for a moment

Well, Xu Da, aren't we going to wait for my master?

Since the day of graduation, it has been like this; initially, the system was loaded at 1%, and after more than a year, it has only reached 99%

Hurry up and clear the onlookers at the scene. What is going on? Do you not know how to protect the scene?

It is said that Zhou Ning is fortunate
