"Xiaofei, let's pick up some trivial items from the bridge piers and bring them back to Peng Xin for inspection." After loading the body bag into the police car, I said to He Xiaofei: "I guess these trivial items close to the bones may be as well. There are some elements that could prove the cause of death."

"Okay." He Xiaofei said, "You go and accompany the village chief to continue cutting. I'll collect the scraps near the first two bones."

"Okay." I agreed.

When I returned to the village chief, he had already started cutting the third bridge pier. However, Shen Ling and I waited here for a while and found that there were no bones in this bridge pier.

"Are there really only 28 bones?" Shen Ling said in surprise, "Xiao Huan, you are really right."

I did not reply to Shen Ling immediately, but walked to the bridge pier and directed the village chief to cut several other places many times, but still found nothing.

It wasn't until the entire bridge pier was cut into more than a dozen small parts by the village that I smiled and said to Shen Ling: "Ling'er, come and see, there is nothing in the bridge pier here. Not only are there no bones, but there are also no human figures." What a calming thing."

Shen Ling walked over and said to me: "It confirms what you said. It seems that this murderer is really a liar who travels around the world."

"And this liar may also have a close relationship with the smuggling group. As long as we find him in Province H, the rest will be unsolvable." I said with a smile.

While we were talking, Technical Liu suddenly called.

"Hey, Xiao Huan, don't tell me. I found out about this news. In the early 1990s, there was a big smuggler named Lin Nanping who specialized in the smuggling industry. He was from Zhangcheng, Province F, but he was in a prison in Province G. He is being held in prison. My friend asked someone to inquire about it. It seems that Lin Nanping has been sentenced to life. Maybe something can be gained by finding him." Technical Liu said with a smile on the phone.

As soon as I heard the good news from Tech Liu, I smiled and said to Shen Ling: "Ling'er, Tech Liu sent a message, saying that he found a big snakehead from the 1990s, but it's in Province G. Can we find a time to go there? have a look."

When Shen Ling heard what I said, she immediately picked up her phone and asked, "Where are you in G Province?"

Technical Liu said: "Shaojiang Prison."

"Okay, I understand. I will report it to Director Shen right away." Shen Ling said. After hanging up the phone, Shen Ling called Director Shen again. Since today happened to be Saturday, Director Shen was not at work, so Shen Ling I feel more relaxed on the phone.

"Hey, Second Uncle, we found a big smuggler from the 1990s, who is being held in Shaojiang Prison in G Province. Can you please coordinate with us so that we can set off as soon as possible?" Shen Ling smiled at him. The second uncle said, "Second uncle, aren't we planning to solve the case as soon as possible before the end of the year? In Xiao Huan's words, the Jingzong's underground guns will come to us sooner or later."

Director Shen had no choice but to agree on the phone: "Okay, let's try to catch up with the New Year. I agree that you can go. When will you set off?"

Shen Ling thought for a while and then asked me: "My second uncle asked us when we plan to set off?"

"Tomorrow night, so that I can directly contact the local police comrades during the day on Monday." I replied.

Bureau Shen hesitated for a while, but agreed to us and said, "Okay, then you can leave on the weekend night. I promise to contact you before you arrive on Monday."

"Okay, thank you, uncle." Shen Ling said with a smile on the phone.

Since Director Shen had agreed to our departure years ago, Shen Ling and I had to hurry up and arrange everything. So Shen Ling called Technical Liu again and said: "Technical Liu, bring your guys Come with us to Province G."

"Farewell, Group Shen, I won't go. My wife has just given birth, so I have to go home and cook every night. As per the old rules, Lao Wang and I are left behind when we get married, and the four of you... Just go as a bachelor." Technical Liu still rejected Shen Ling's opinion, although Shen Ling did want to go out to work on cases and go for a walk to relax.

"Okay then, tell Lao Wang that for the next tasks, one of you will continue to search for the construction company back then, and the other will continue to search for ocean-going ships around the 1990s to see if there has been any mass drowning of crew members. When we come back, we will continue to summarize the situation."

"Don't worry, Group Shen." As soon as he heard that he didn't have to set off, Technical Liu immediately became happy. In fact, this is understandable. Although he can walk around when he sets off, Technical Liu is now the hot bed of his wife and children, so the attraction is naturally Higher.

After the salvage team completely fished out all five bridge piers, we cut them all open with the help of the village and found four bones hidden inside, which confirmed what I said before.

Of course, the rest was Peng Xin's job, so we rushed back to Yaozhou Municipal Bureau with these four bones and the bridge pier debris produced after cutting, and the small bottles of water samples from Yaohe River that had been extracted.

Since it was already dark at this time, I ordered 4 takeaways. After all, I had to leave for Province G every day, so all four of us had to work overtime tonight to help Peng Xin get the test results.

"Peng Xin, thank you for your hard work. You need to test whether these white bones contain some components from the ocean, or whether the salinity in the marrow of these white bones exceeds the standard." I said to Peng Xin embarrassedly.

But Peng Xin said it didn't matter at all, saying: "It's okay, brother Xiaohuan, leave this place to me."

When Shen Ling heard what Peng Xin said, she came over and said with a smile: "No, we will listen to you tonight and do as you say. We must get the test results earlier."

"Okay." Peng Xin agreed.

After a simple dinner, Peng Xin and I took Shen Ling and He Xiaofei respectively and divided into two groups. Peng Xin and the others naturally used modern forensic technology to conduct examinations, while Shen Ling and I relied on "Chasing the Shadow". To compare with the traditional method in "Secret Art".

Therefore, Shen Ling asked in confusion: "Xiao Huan, what are you going to do?"

I pointed at the two white bones, then smiled and said to Shen Ling: "It's very simple, just compare them."

After that, I gave Shen Ling a brief introduction to the principle.

Since the cause of death of the deceased was drowning, there must have been seawater components in the abdominal cavity during his lifetime. Since the deceased was poured into the bridge pier, these seawater components must not have been destroyed, but rather perfectly preserved.
