Chapter 1 The body is hanging on the tree

Monday, September 27, 2010

Qindao City.

Qidong County.

It's raining.

The raindrops hit the concrete floor, splashing some sand from time to time.

Zhou Ning quickened his pace and rushed into a two-story building surrounded by green vines. He stomped the sand and rain on his feet. When he saw someone coming downstairs, he quickly turned aside and nodded with a smile even though he didn't recognize him.

Walking to the east end of the second floor, he used the key to open a shabby office. As the door closed, the smile on Zhou Ning's face also faded.

After looking at the mop at the door and the rain outside the window, Zhou Ning turned on the air conditioner and sat at the desk in the corner.

Opening the book "Bone Age Identification - Chinese Adolescent Skeleton X-ray Library" on the monitor with a big belly, there was a "Tomb Robbery Notes" tucked inside. Zhou Ning breathed out a sigh of relief after finding the place where he had been reading.

Zhou Ning is a new forensic doctor from Qidong County.

He is handsome, tall, and has a graduate degree.

It is said that Zhou Ning is lucky.

After all, this was the first year that the civil service examination was implemented, so he was recruited into the forensic room of the Qidong County Criminal Police Brigade and became a civil servant that people envied.

But

How do outsiders know that his academic performance was so low, he failed two subjects every year at a steady pace, and he managed to graduate with great difficulty.

It wasn't because he saw something he shouldn't have seen that made his tutor afraid. As for his erroneous thesis, his tutor wouldn't give him his signature even if he killed him.

As for the public examination, there was no hope of going to a first-tier city. I wandered around in society for a year. Finally, I heard from my second uncle that Qidong County was recruiting forensic doctors.

Passed the exam.

Moreover, there are only two people in the so-called forensic room of the Criminal Police Brigade. Apart from Zhou Ning, it is his master, Liu Yongxin, who is the forensic doctor.

I've been here for more than half a month, but I haven't seen any hair on the body.

His master, Dr. Liu Fa, was a good person, but he was old and in poor health, so he went to the hospital every now and then.

In the afternoon, he is always left alone in this office, but there is no case these days. I just don't know why forensic doctor Liu didn't come today.

Pushing up his glasses, he sighed slightly, with a worried look on his face, and couldn't read the book anymore.

There was one thing that he didn't tell anyone. As long as Zhou Ning raised his hand to push his glasses, a transparent display screen would appear in front of him with a line of green text on it, "System loaded 99%."

It has been like this since the day of graduation, except that initially the system was loaded to 1%, and more than a year later, it was loaded to 99%.

What the hell is this, Zhou Ning doesn’t understand.

He also tried to change his glasses or put on contact lenses, but as long as he waved his hand to the side of his head or pushed his glasses, the display still appeared and no one else could see it.

From the initial panic and worry that he couldn't sleep for several days, now Zhou Ning has been able to recognize the existence of this thing, and even has a little expectation. After all, he doesn't know what this thing is?

Just thinking about it.

The landline phone on the desk rang.

Zhou Ning was startled and quickly stood up and grabbed the microphone.

"Hello, forensic room."

"Hello? Well, Xiao Zhou, right? Where is Forensic Doctor Liu?"

Zhou Ning remembered this voice. This person was Xu Dayuan, the captain of the Qidong County Criminal Police Brigade. He had met him when he came to report. His loud voice was impressive.

"Xu Da, forensic doctor Liu hasn't arrived yet. How about I call his mobile phone and ask?"

Xu Dayuan on the opposite side paused.

"Forget it, his cell phone is turned off. You go downstairs. There is a case. Follow him and take a look."

The phone was hung up just like that. Zhou Ning was a little excited, but also a little nervous.

Damn it, it’s been half a month since I came here, and I finally have a case.

I put my cell phone away, grabbed the survey box on the side and the SLR camera in the cabinet, and rushed out of the office.

When I got downstairs, I saw Xu Dayuan standing in the yard, waving to several criminal policemen.

"Get in the car and go directly to the scene. Forensic Doctor Xiao Zhou will be with me."

Everyone got in the car, Zhou Ning held the survey box and sat in the passenger seat of Xu Dayuan. With the siren howling, the car made a sharp turn and rushed out.

Zhou Ning tilted her body and quickly grabbed the handle above the car door to keep her balance. This eagerness made Zhou Ning's heart tremble.

"What's the case with Xu?"

Xu Dayuan glanced at it and did not answer Zhou Ning's question.

"Forensic Doctor Xiao Zhou, did you handle any cases during your internship before?"

Zhou Ning cleared her throat and tried to calm herself down.

"During my internship, I handled three cases, one case of dismemberment, which lasted three months. The case was solved, and there was another one."

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

"Okay, it's good if you have witnessed the corpse case. You have a good psychological quality. When you get to the scene soon, you can see something. Just take a look. The traffic police team said that a corpse was found on the roadside and they are getting surveillance.

"

"Forehead?"

Zhou Ning was startled.

Suddenly I had a bad feeling. Could it be that the starting point I had just blown was a little too high?

"Hey, Xu Da, why don't we wait for my master?"

"The case can't wait. We need to handle it here as quickly as possible. There are many people watching."

Zhou Ning panicked.

Xu Dayuan's words revealed too much information, and there were many onlookers, which meant that the case was not in the wilderness, and the case could not wait. It meant that the scene was tragic and must be dealt with quickly.

Just as I was thinking about it, the car stopped.

The intersection was isolated by a yellow warning line, and outside the warning line, there was a crowd of people.

After all, he was a local. Zhou Ning did a little identification and saw that this was the crossroads next to the North Outer Ring Viaduct. On both sides of the Outer Ring Road, there was an industrial park on one side and a village at the urban-rural fringe.

Xu Dayuan had already gotten out of the car. It was too late for Zhou Ning to say anything now. There was no way to retreat. He could only carry the survey box and follow him down.

Xu Dayuan waved his hand towards the detective behind him and ordered with a frown:

"Hurry up and clean up the onlookers at the scene. What's going on? Don't you know how to protect the scene?"

A roar worked.

Most of the onlookers who were watching the excitement dispersed in an instant. Even those who were left with good news retreated more than ten meters, or simply stood on various high places on the opposite side of the road and looked in this direction.

"Forensic Doctor Xiao Zhou, do you have any masks? Distribute them to them."

Zhou Ning suddenly realized that he quickly opened the investigation box and handed a pack of masks to a criminal policeman who came over. The man distributed the masks.

Zhou Ning looked up again. There was no one around the intersection, but he didn't see the body at all, and he didn't know where these people were looking around.

He put on his mask and latex gloves. The more he tried to calm down, the more his heart beat uncontrollably faster. He took a deep breath, raised the cordon with the survey box, and walked up to Xu Da.

"Xu Da, where is the body?"

Xu Dayuan put his hand on Zhou Ning's shoulder and pointed towards a sycamore tree beside him.

"Did you see the body hanging on the tree?"

Zhou Ning followed the direction pointed by Xu Dayuan, took two steps forward and looked over. On a sycamore tree next to them, at the main branch one and a half meters above the ground, there was a white leg hanging there.

From this angle, only the legs of the deceased could be seen, slender ankles, straight calves, wearing dark blue Converse canvas shoes, and white socks with purple-black blood stains on them.

Zhou Ning seemed to be frozen, and his breathing stopped.

It wasn't fear, it was the visual impact that filled his chest with suppressed emotions for a moment.

He raised his hand and pushed up his glasses.

At this moment, the transparent display screen in front of me appeared again, but the loading progress on it had changed to 100%, and a voice filled my ears.

"Hey, the system has been loaded and is starting."

Several lines of words appeared on the display.

Forensic training system.

Binder: Zhou Ning

Age: 26 years old

Forensic Level: -2

Overview:.

Publish the task: contact the corpse and perform a superficial autopsy.

Completion rewards: Random rewards will be given based on the completion status.

Zhou Ning was stunned. After more than a year of loading, he didn't expect that the moment he saw the corpse, this thing was actually loaded. But what does the forensic level -2 mean?

Do you think Zhou Ning is a bad student?

Zhou Ning made a mistake. Okay, it's very objective. This is neither exaggerated nor belittled, but what the hell are the six points of this comprehensive evaluation?

Speechless?

I was actually laughed at by a system
Chapter completed!
