Chapter 3, The "Program" of the Plateau

I smiled silently

Time passed minute by minute, and there was still no news from the participants in the survey. Li Zhiling was somewhat anxious and called out, "Master! ... ..." I understood what he was worried about, so I waved my hand at him, signaling him to be patient.

If it is after death, the river water could not possibly enter the lungs. This is because there would no longer be a pressure difference between the inside and outside of the lungs

Others were also driven away by the foul smell to another side

I believe this is undoubtedly a murder case! A heinous murder and dismemberment!" Dong Jianguo continued, "The severing of the head indicates a fear of the victim being recognized, as the murderer is afraid of exposing the victim's identity! They also stripped the victim of their clothing to eliminate any potential identifying information, which shows that the murderer is very cunning. ... However, what the murderer does not realize is that the more they try to conceal, the more it indicates their intricate connection with the victim. Therefore, as long as we ascertain the victim's identity and clarify their social interactions, we will have solved half of the case! ... Now your task is to determine the victim's identity as thoroughly as possible, rather than debating the nature of the case!" But the murderer does not know that the more they try to conceal, the more it indicates their intricate connection with the victim. Therefore, as long as we ascertain the victim's identity and clarify their social interactions, we will have solved half of the case! ... Now your task is to determine the victim's identity as thoroughly as possible, rather than debating the nature of the case!

A detective leaned close to Pan Yun and whispered, "We have already found the person who reported the case! He is the owner of a cargo ship. When they were passing through here, they discovered that the propeller was entangled with something. Upon inspection, they found a pair of shorts. Next to it was a headless corpse. They were terrified and, fearing trouble, left the scene before reporting the incident..." They were terrified and, fearing trouble, left the scene before reporting the incident..."

The person who came to pick me up was Li, the forensic expert from our unit. He is a recent graduate from the forensic department of a medical school, named Li Zhiling. He is honest and simple-minded, and he is diligent and eager to learn in his work. These two qualities alone have won my favor, and I always answer any business questions he asks without reservation. Because of this, Li Zhiling shows me particular respect and calls me "Master." In fact, there is only a few years' age difference between us.

About an hour later, the investigators searching for the deceased finally called to report to Pan Yun that the head had been found! It was located several hundred meters downstream. Soon after, the investigation team also reported that they had located the deceased's family; the deceased had gone missing a month ago after swimming in the river

Although what Gao Yuan said may be somewhat exaggerated, it is fundamentally true. Ever since I suffered an accident, my way of thinking has become different from others. In summary, while others see a stationary object, I perceive it as being in motion and change. For instance, when observing a person, others may focus on that person's appearance, but I can sense the changes in every part of their body—every muscle's contraction and relaxation, every bone's lift and twist. Because I have forgotten many things from the past, I am uncertain whether this ability is innate or a 'special ability' acquired from the accident, or perhaps it is simply a professional habit.

A body was discovered floating in the river, without a head. Pan Yun said succinctly, "Where are you? I will send someone to take you to the scene!" "Floating body" is our jargon, referring to a corpse in the river.

That is because once... he had a mysterious expression and said, "When I was bored, I stood by the windowsill looking at the scenery through a telescope." He pointed to the windowsill, which faced the hillside behind.

It has already been filmed

After examining the corpse, I have a different opinion from theirs

Not long ago, Gao Yuan appeared quite idle, seeming to do nothing all day. He would go to work very late and leave early, occasionally not returning home at night, inevitably claiming that he was out on a date with some woman

The girl has permed curly hair, a beautiful face, fashionable attire, and a quite good figure

Alright, wait there, I will have someone drive over to pick you up

How was the body discovered

I certainly do not have the ability to deduce the name of Miss Zhang's company! I laughed and said, "But I know it is a private enterprise, and the owner has a special relationship with Miss Zhang!"

"What does 'the corpse does not hang on silk' mean?" asked Li Zhiling

At the river surface beside the dike in Beijiang City, many police officers have already arrived at the scene and set up a cordon to prevent people from entering

Of course not. I felt a bit embarrassed and smiled at her, saying, "What you refer to as dismemberment is from horror movies! The real work of a forensic expert is not as you imagine it to be!"

It is a rigorous science that encompasses multiple disciplines such as medicine, anatomy, and logic, and is not merely about dissecting corpses every day. I smiled and added, "Moreover, it is not as thrilling as you described."

It turned out to be suicide! Pan Yun and I exchanged glances without saying a word

This is my buddy Deng Zhe, just call him Old Deng! Gao Yuan introduced him with a smile, saying, "He works at the Public Security Bureau, our city's top male police officer!"

When the family members arrived, we had already reattached the deceased's head for their identification

Zhang Beibei. The plateau introduced that girl to me

However, this does not indicate whether the person was alive or dead at that time! A corpse without a head would still have water flowing into it from the river! Wouldn't that mean there would still be water in the lungs?

There is nothing to do, I am so worried that even my leg hair has become tangled and - pictures - books! he said

I admire Pan Yun's decisive style of assessing the situation! I have always believed that some people's leadership abilities are innate and cannot be learned by others. Just like Pan Yun, who is adept at adopting correct opinions, acts decisively, leads by example, and dares to take on responsibilities

"Is that true?" Hearing the words from the plateau, Zhang Beibei looked into my eyes, then glanced at my head and couldn't help but laugh, "Can Old Deng let me broaden my horizons?"

"Did you see the deceased's buttocks?" I pointed to the body, "This area is pale, the color is different from other parts, and the degree of decay is relatively lighter than in other areas. Therefore, it can be inferred that they were wearing shorts while submerged in the river... Looking at the wounds on the back, they suddenly stop when extending to the buttocks, which further indicates that they were wearing shorts at the time, as the rotating propeller would have twisted the pants off."

Zhang Guisheng," said Gao Yuan. "He is a diamond bachelor, over forty years old and still unmarried!"

Yes, it is not a homicide! I stated seriously, the deceased died from accidental drowning. We need to immediately send people to search along the river for witnesses, and also pay attention to recent missing person notices, especially those related to accidental deaths along the river in the past two months.

In fact, it is not that remarkable; the plateau is overstated! I declined.

Two branches of the large tree have been reaching towards the window. Since I arrived in this city, every year when the branches begin to bud, I wrap a red ribbon around them, which I take from the bottles of wine I have consumed. Including the ribbon wrapped this year, there are already four of them

I apologize, I was merely feeling curious. Perhaps my way of expressing it was inappropriate!" Zhang Beibei said, "So what kind of work should forensic experts be doing?"

"It's nothing, I'm used to it! I'll eat after finishing my work." I smiled at her

Is that so? Zhang Beibei laughed heartily, revealing a joyful expression as if she had just been playfully teased. This sparked a sense of competition within me

Pan Yun remained on-site to command

A person reported an incident using a mobile phone. However, the phone is now turned off, and the person who made the report has not yet been located

I looked at Pan Yun and smiled; he was afraid that the family members would hear and cause further trouble. After all, no one wants to see their loved ones being torn apart by a propeller

Pan Yun turned around and nodded at me. Then, pointing at the river, he said to me: "A male corpse, headless. There are no clothes on it, completely naked"

Oh, so we are fellow townsfolk!" Zhang Beibei said with a smile, "The company has a sales office in Beijiang City, and I work there.

"You can figure it out yourself!" Gao Yuan teased me.

I am dining at Wangjiang Tower I said

Hello! I said to her

Following his指, I saw a small boat停在 the river, where a photographer from the technical队 was standing at the bow, taking pictures of the river surface with a camera. The队长, Si Ma Yu, was holding a long bamboo pole, stirring the water surface, where a白色的 object was浮着.

Sima and the others have already examined it carefully. They did not see anything else

I waved my hand. He still did not know that it is actually impossible to wear a mask in such a foul environment. The stench of decay will cling to the mask, lingering in an inescapable manner. The only solution is to stand upwind, that is, with one's back to the wind, allowing the odor to drift in the opposite direction. Moreover, for experienced forensic experts, wearing a mask is not an option, as certain crime scenes require the ability to discern other unusual odors beyond the smell of decay, such as that of pesticides.

"Why does the deceased only have injuries on the back?" Li Zhiling quietly asked nearby

But how could the propeller have entangled him? Was he alive or dead at that time? Pan Yun asked. He was clearly concerned about whether the responsible ship bore any liability.

"No way, with how handsome Old Deng is, how could he not have a girlfriend?" Zhang Beibei, seeing that I was silent, smiled and tried to ease the situation.

Your handbag is not a typical casual bag; it appears to be about the size of an accounting ledger. Just now, when you took out a tissue from your bag, I saw the ledger inside. This bag must be one you frequently use to carry ledgers. Apart from private enterprises, other organizations do not allow the unauthorized removal of ledgers from the company. Moreover, if there is no special relationship with the boss and trust is not established, it is equally prohibited to do so

This corpse floating in the river indeed has no head! Moreover, due to prolonged immersion in the water, it has swollen to a grotesque size, with mold spots appearing on its exposed back, emitting waves of a nauseating stench. I have always believed that the foul odor of a corpse is more repulsive than any other smell

I saw a couple embracing each other! He struck a storyteller's pose, "Although I couldn't see clearly what they were doing! However, what else could they be doing besides matters between a man and a woman? To confirm my assumption, I decided to climb the mountain every morning, hoping to find evidence they left behind in that place! ... ... " To confirm my assumption, I decided to climb the mountain every morning, hoping to find evidence they left behind in that place! ... ... "

After hanging up the phone, Pan Yunchang let out a sigh and smiled at me, saying: "Someone saw the deceased swimming in the river, and then he just disappeared. Since he was from out of town, the family searched for a long time but couldn't find him, so they went back first... The entire sequence of events aligns perfectly with your assessment"

Regarding the question of why the deceased went into the river, I cannot provide an answer. It is easy to infer a person's actions, but inferring a person's thoughts is an impossible task

Indeed! Zhang Beibei widened her eyes, looking at me with wonder, "How did you know?"

This is true!" said the plateau with a smile, "He is too shy!"

Hurry over to Wangjiang Tower!" Gao Yuan said on the phone, "There is a program.

I glanced at her and then casually asked, "How has your accounting work been lately?"

Of course, it is impossible for it to be that miraculous! Forensic experts are also mere mortals, and their abilities are ultimately limited; they cannot be as formidable as characters that have been artistically crafted. I said, "But there is still some theoretical foundation for certain deductions, right? It mainly comes down to a different perspective of observation compared to ordinary people"

That guy from the plateau has always had a way with beautiful girls

I heard another version. It is about his sexual orientation! ... ... "The plateau said with an ambiguous expression.

This is no exaggeration! Old Deng's eyes and mind are like they are equipped with synchronizers; he can understand anything he sees.

Is Old Deng also from the Zen market? Zhang Beibei asked

The trust that Pan Yun has in me is beyond question. Apart from the strong recommendation from my master, it is also because I have solved several major cases. As a result, he has almost reached a point of complete obedience to my words. Such trust even makes me a bit fearful. Once, I said to him: "You cannot trust me like this! Otherwise, if I make a mistake, who will correct me?" He laughed and replied: "You have never given others the opportunity to correct you."

"It lacks supporting arguments!" I said, "Captain Dong's viewpoint is based on the murder case as a premise, yet later it is used as evidence, leading to a circular reasoning that inevitably results in such a conclusion!"

The wounds on the back of the deceased are all relatively superficial, insufficient to be fatal! Moreover, they are only located on the back, with no injuries elsewhere. I pointed to the back of the corpse and continued, "Furthermore, look at these wounds; they are arranged in a regular pattern. The perpetrator would not possess such an artistic sense! The most critical point is that there are no signs of pre-mortem stress response in any of the wounds, confirming that they were inflicted post-mortem"

The cigarette in my mouth had already been soaked with saliva. I took a piece of a clip from my body, placed the cigarette butt in the clip to extinguish it, and put it back in my pocket. We cannot leave any of our personal belongings at the scene, so I often carry some self-designed tools for handling items, such as this cigarette extinguisher.

"Guess what I saw?" he asked

"You don't believe it?" He felt somewhat disappointed, "Why is it that no matter how seriously I take it, no one believes me? Chen Juan is the same way!"

Zhang Beibei asked me: "What work does Old Deng do at the Public Security Bureau?"

Sometimes, patience is required

Yes. The plateau is the same! I replied

There is no need for formalities between him and me

I remember the company president's name is Zhang something, right?

The work of providing comfort must be done. Li Zhiling and I explained to the family members the injuries on the deceased and the reasons behind them. Since there were eyewitnesses who saw the events unfold, the family had no objections. One elderly man, wiping his tears, said to us: "How foolish! Just because the business wasn't going well, he had a few words with his wife and left home, even writing a farewell letter! He must have had the intention to die long before!"

The boss, after all, is always dazzled by choices I was just making a joke

Have all the photos been taken on site

Four years have passed by unnoticed

Oh? Dr. Deng still insists that it is not a homicide?" Dong Jianguo asked with a challenging expression that seemed to be both a smile and a sneer.

After listening to the introduction about the plateau, Zhang Beibei's expression became more animated: "Really?! I admire police officers the most! I used to dream that my boyfriend would be a police officer." She looked at me and giggled.

Go to the scene and get him something to eat High Yuan smiled and disgusted me

However, I now realize that making such a judgment carries significant risks, and even a slight misstep could result in a loss of life

Dong Jianguo glanced at me and walked away with a strange expression

But you haven't eaten anything yet!" Zhang Beibei said

How does it look? Pan Yun asked from the side

There is no program that concerns me; at this moment, I am thinking of Liu Yan! It is only because there is wine to drink that this becomes my reason for attraction

"You know this too?" Zhang Beibei looked at me with a hint of surprise

"That's good..." Zhang Beibei replied casually, then suddenly paused, "How did you know I was an accountant?"

Wangjiang Tower is a Hunan cuisine restaurant located by the river, in a secluded environment, and it is a place we often visit. The first time I went there was when Gao Yuan took me; at that time, Chen Juan was visiting this city to see him, and he invited me to join them for dinner

Pan Yun also looked at me, waiting for my explanation

A crowd of onlookers gathered outside the warning line, pointing and gesturing towards the river surface

I do not have hetushu.com to respond to him, I merely looked at Pan Yun. At this moment, it is a time that requires leadership to make choices, judgments, and issue commands

Li Zhiling handed me a lighter to light up. I waved my hand at him. The members of the criminal police team admired my decision to quit smoking, saying that once I decided to quit, I did so without hesitation, as if I had never smoked at all. In fact, they did not know that this was because I had once had a dream in which I promised Liu Yan that I would quit smoking

Someone next to me said, "Your inference is indeed quite bold! If it really is a murder case, it would be a significant responsibility!"

I called out, "Team Leader Pan"

At this moment, Gao Yuan called, asking me to go out for dinner

"Alright!" Zhang Beibei said with a smile

Many times it is like this: when you can infer a person's behavior, you may not necessarily be able to guess their inner thoughts. Moreover, we rarely entangle ourselves in the inner thoughts of the deceased. If thinking is disturbed, it will affect judgment

The term "program" is a code for girls in the highlands. Whenever he seeks a woman, he tells me he has a "program"

Boredom is as malicious as women; it requires a counteracting poison. This is a saying often expressed by Gao Yuan, so when he mentioned that he had a program, I was not surprised at all

The lungs of the corpse were filled with river water, indicating a certain death by drowning! I replied, "The deceased must have died while swimming in the river wearing shorts, and was then caught by a passing ship while floating in the water."

The wind seems to have shifted slightly, bringing with it a wave of the stench of decay. I adjusted my position and stood firm, replacing my cigarette with another one in my mouth. Habitually, my right hand reached for my lighter, but suddenly I recalled something, and thus I came to a halt.

Zhang Beibei realized something and quickly took a tissue out of her bag, feeling embarrassed as she wiped her nose.

We also need to search along the river for the deceased's head. I added, The head should still be in the river

Then let me tell you, Old Deng still doesn't have a girlfriend. Should we settle for him?" Gao Yuan said half-jokingly, half-seriously

When I arrived, Li Zhiling had already informed me of the opinions of others. They all believed that this was a particularly heinous case of murder and corpse disposal, where the perpetrator killed the victim and severed the head to prevent identification. However, this action precisely revealed the unusual relationship between the murderer and the victim, reflecting the psychological trait of fearing that the public security authorities would trace the clues. Yet, since I had not seen the body before, I did not express my own opinion. This action precisely revealed the unusual relationship between the murderer and the victim, reflecting the psychological trait of fearing that the public security authorities would trace the clues. Yet, since I had not seen the body before, I did not express my own opinion

When I arrived at Wangjiang Tower, I indeed saw Gao Yuan sitting there with a girl.

Let me share a small piece of knowledge: Generally speaking, a male corpse floats in the river face down in a supine position, while a female corpse floats face up in a supine position... I paused my words, allowing him to reflect on it himself

The information provided at the scene included: the corpse was not wearing shoes, it had not been wrapped, and there were brown stains on the clothing that appeared to be human blood, but laboratory tests revealed them to be fly excrement. I remember that during the case analysis meeting, I spoke as follows: "Firstly, the victim was barefoot, and the soles of the feet were not covered in dust, indicating that the location where the victim was found was not the murder scene, but rather a secondary site for the disposal of the body; secondly, the deceased had not been wrapped, and the livor mortis on the body was not in a low position, which does not conform to the characteristics of how bodies are typically positioned at the discovery site. This suggests that the deceased had been placed at another location for an extended period, and the perpetrator discarded the body nearby; thirdly, the victim's clothing had fly excrement on it, which, based on the habits of flies, should have formed three days prior, indicating a location in a relatively enclosed space; fourthly, the deceased's stomach contained a large amount of undigested food, suggesting that the victim was killed within an hour after a meal. Therefore, the victim must have been murdered three days ago after lunch, in a relatively remote and enclosed space. The focus of the investigation should be to search for suitable enclosed buildings nearby, particularly those with a significant amount of brown bloodstains on the walls."

"There is a circular callus on your right wrist," I pointed to her hand that was serving tea and said, "This is characteristic of people who frequently work on computers; many are accustomed to calling it 'computer hand'"

Pan Yunruo nodded thoughtfully

After examining the corpse, Pan Yun was eager to know my opinion

Is that so? Hearing about the company she mentioned, I was quite surprised, "This company is from our hometown!"

This spring seems to have arrived particularly early; if one is not careful, the elm trees on both sides of the street have already sprouted green buds. However, the wind is still very cold, leaving one perplexed

Gaoyuan also asked Zhang Beibei: "Are you an accountant?"

What? I do not understand his meaning

I carefully examined the wounds on the corpse; the severed area where the head and neck were lost displayed a torn appearance, and there were multiple neatly arranged wounds on the lower back. The buttocks appeared pale, differing in color from the skin in other areas, and the wounds ceased at this point.

This is just an ordinary day for us forensic experts, so mundane that it can be somewhat disappointing. However, for the deceased and their families, from this day forward, the world is no longer the same as it once was

I thought about it and decided to say it: "Forensic expert." After saying this, I looked at her, wondering what her reaction would be.

Chen Juan is Gao Yuan's "authentic girlfriend". This is what I privately told Gao Yuan, as he has many girlfriends with whom he flirts. She is our classmate, having sat next to Gao Yuan for three years in high school, and they are recognized as a couple in the class. Gao Yuan is a boarding student, and Chen Juan brings him breakfast every day. That guy is also quite ungrateful, often stuffing his cheeks full and shamelessly claiming that the food doesn't taste good enough! The two of them flirt with each other daily, and Gao Yuan never concedes to Chen Juan, even going so far as to spit on her head. Chen Juan is completely unfazed and continues to cling to Gao Yuan every day. However, what is surprising is that after graduation, while the couples in the class either secretly or semi-publicly paired off, Gao Yuan and Chen Juan still only maintain that ambiguous relationship.

I not only know that you are an accountant, but I also know that you have been very busy lately, I said to Zhang Beibei

I took a cigarette out of my pocket and placed it between my lips. For me, cigarettes serve as a convenient deodorizer, neither affecting my sense of smell nor completely masking the unavoidable odors. It is precisely for this reason that I previously developed a significant addiction to smoking, but I have since quit; I now merely habitually hold a cigarette in my mouth without lighting it

"Then bring the body over," I said

The investigator knowingly fell silent

Did you see? The plateau has rolled up its pant legs, revealing its calves

There are many types of jobs that can be done on a computer. How can you be sure that she is an accountant? High Plateau asked

It is necessary to introduce that Dong Jianguo is the captain of the major crimes unit in the criminal police team. He is articulate and possesses strong social skills, excelling in investigative abilities. However, in the eyes of others, he is also someone who insists on every small achievement, frequently intervening in technical matters. This is not his area of expertise, which often leads to difficulties in gaining consensus and frequent disagreements with others, resulting in conflicts

Pan Yun made a "shh" sound and gestured with his lips towards the family members who were crying inconsolably

On Saturday afternoon, I sat alone by the window, holding a bottle of wine, drinking while watching the ribbons dance in the wind. Cheers to the four years that have passed unknowingly

What could be the reason for that? he asked

"Which company is Miss Zhang with?" I asked

Once, I said to him: "You seem to be quite free lately"

The girl named Zhang Beibei smiled at me and nodded: "Hello!"

Forensic expert!" Zhang Beibei exclaimed, drawing the attention of those nearby who turned to look at us.

I previously mentioned that during my first autopsy, I encountered a female corpse, and I vomited during that procedure. I initially thought that my performance would become a source of ridicule for everyone in the future. However, later on, someone told me that my subsequent case analyses earned me the respect of others, and they no longer dared to underestimate me

However, this does not affect my overall judgment. After the case was solved, it completely aligned with my previous deductions! The murderer is the warehouse keeper of a secluded factory near the scene, and the crime took place inside the warehouse. When the investigators arrived there, they found the walls covered with brown droppings left by flies

This is not a homicide, it is an accident! ... ... I raised my head and said to him

While we were chatting, Captain Pan Yun of the Criminal Police Brigade called.

Pan Yun issued a command via the intercom, and the small boat on the river pulled He Piaor out of the water.

At this moment, Gao Yuan fell silent, sitting beside me with his arms crossed, watching me with a sense of glee.

"Perhaps many unsolved cases are like this," Li Zhiling said from the side, "but it is not necessarily always the case! Dong, your reasoning, while sounding quite plausible, still leaves one with a sense that something is missing!"

I cannot guess." I shook my head

I hung up the phone and apologetically said to Gao Yuan and Zhang Beibei: "You see, there's another issue! This is how our work is; it is never certain."

I understand what you mean, you are saying he is gay! Zhang Beibei appeared completely unconcerned, "I don't know either, anyway, I haven't seen him with any women! Even if he is, there's nothing strange about it, right?" Finally, she added with a smile, "But definitely don't say that in front of him!"

Outside the window of my house stands a tall elm tree, so towering that it seems somewhat out of place in this residential area. However, I am quite fond of this tree; it blocks my window, providing a sense of security. A nest is built among its branches, where a pair of orioles occasionally flit about, one with a long tail and the other with a short tail, intertwining and producing delightful, crisp chirps. I enjoy sitting on the windowsill, watching their affectionate interactions as they fly together in unison. A nest is built among its branches, where a pair of orioles occasionally flit about, one with a long tail and the other with a short tail, intertwining and producing delightful, crisp chirps. I enjoy sitting on the windowsill, watching their affectionate interactions as they fly together in unison

Are there any other things near the corpse? I asked

I remained silent and looked at Pan Yun. The two of us exchanged a knowing smile.

I remained silent until he finished speaking

"According to what you said, can forensic experts solve cases like Sherlock Holmes?" Zhang Beibei asked me.

Old Deng can still help people read faces, discerning a person's profession and character. Gao Yuan said, "Why not ask him to take a look for you"

When forensic experts are mentioned, it certainly evokes a sense of dread, but Zhang Beibei is not at all what I had imagined. Instead, she displays an excited demeanor and relentlessly presses on with her questions, "Is it true that you dismember corpses every day in your line of work?"

No way, you seem to be in a good state of mind lately, and you've even taken a liking to mountain climbing for exercise! This is quite strange; previously, you were the type who wouldn't even budge an inch from your nest, even if your backside was on fire!

But how is this possible?" Dong Jianguo put away his smile and began to argue with me, "The corpse clearly doesn't even have a head, and there are other wounds on the body. How can this be explained?"

To me, all of this is merely a labyrinth set with preconditions, just as blood always flows through the heart and acupoints are always nerve junctions; as long as one traces back to the source, an answer will always be found

Recently, the company has been busy with quarterly settlements, and I have been extremely occupied," Zhang Beibei explained, "I even forgot to touch up my makeup!

"Not all wounds are inflicted by humans." After dealing with the cigarette butt, I said, "Look at the fractures on the neck; there are multiple thread-like tissues, which forensic science refers to as interstitial bridges. This is due to tearing rather than being caused by a sharp instrument. If someone had used a sharp object to cut the victim's neck, it would not present this way; instead, there would be a clean incision."

I work at New Century Company. Zhang Beibei said with a smile of admiration, "The boss is my uncle"

Li Zhiling and I have initially handled the body and covered it with a piece of plastic sheeting

Zhang Beibei smiled and gently tapped him on the shoulder

"Ship!" I pointed at the vessels passing on the river, "The propeller on the ship can decapitate a person and cause such wounds on the back."

This has garnered the admiration of everyone

The waiter next to me is serving tea and glanced at me sideways.

When those people saw the corpse, they began to cry. We stood by, occasionally offering a few words of comfort, but what we said felt very hollow. I believe this is due to our emotional numbness; after witnessing too many such events, when one becomes indifferent to life and death, how can one articulate statements rich in emotion? — Do not say that we forensic experts are cold-blooded; when any of you face corpses continuously, you too will become numb!

Pan Yun lit a cigarette, took a puff, contemplated for a moment, and then resolutely said to Dong Jianguo: "Call the investigators over and have them split into groups to investigate the missing persons in the upstream area of the river"

Yes, there are many types of jobs involving computers. I said with a smile, "However, among the computer-related jobs, there are not many that involve getting purple ink from carbon paper on the tip of one's nose. That color can only be detected under these lighting conditions." I pointed to the blue lights in the restaurant

I smiled and nodded

Thus, only the upper-facing back will collide with the ship, leaving scars!" Li Zhiling pondered for a moment and said with sudden realization

Pan Yun used to work in criminal technology and is not much younger than I am, which allows us to communicate well on various topics. He respects me greatly because he once studied under Master Zhong Renzhi for a period of time, and by seniority, I am considered his senior. However, he is now my superior, so I also treat him with equal respect. The master once told me that Pan Yun has average talent in technical matters and hoped that I would assist him in this area. However, in my view, everyone has their strengths, and Pan Yun's personal charisma as a leader surpasses his skills in criminal technology. The master once told me that Pan Yun has average talent in technical matters and hoped that I would assist him in this area. However, in my view, everyone has their strengths, and Pan Yun's personal charisma as a leader surpasses his skills in criminal technology. — Some people are just born to be leaders!

What kind of joke is this? Before I could finish speaking, Dong Jianguo exclaimed from the side, "There’s no head left, and there are injuries on the body. Isn’t this a homicide? Could it be that the deceased did this to themselves?"

The river drifts, and the silk does not cling; fortunately, apart from the head, the other parts are relatively intact, indicating that it is the corpse of a man

Although I have seen many such decayed corpses, I still couldn't help but feel a wave of nausea. Li Zhiling handed me a mask from the side

To an outsider, it may sound convincing, but an experienced forensic expert can immediately tell that my analysis is largely based on superficial observations of the body, without delving into internal injuries. As for the cause of death, I did not deliberately draw a conclusion, as that requires an analysis of the internal organs of the body. Later, it was the forensic expert, Lao Min, who helped me out of this predicament and concluded that the deceased had died from strangulation. He should understand that in the state of panic and confusion I was in during the autopsy, it is impossible to arrive at a conclusion regarding the cause of death.

Are you out of your mind! I interrupted him with a smile and said, That man is you, isn't it!

If it was a swimming-related death, how could no one be searching? Moreover, how could one swim in the river during spring? The water is still cold

Li Zhiling let out a sigh of relief and asked, "How does the master explain the injuries on the corpse?"

I feel somewhat uncomfortable. Many times, I am reluctant to let others know about my profession. It is not that I am insecure about my job, but rather I fear that others might mind

A piece of purple ink was stuck to the tip of her nose, which was not easily noticeable under normal lighting, but appeared black under blue light

Gao Yuan looked at Zhang Beibei's nose and chuckled.

Pan Yunzhen stood by the river, holding a walkie-talkie in his hand, gazing into the water. Captain Dong Jianguo of the reconnaissance team stood beside him
