Chapter 175 Rotten male corpse
The black-topped boat was swaying on the water, and I was holding my oars, my eyes were like hawk's eyes, and I looked back and forth on the river.
Lao Yang was also prepared for a long time, so he took out a telescope, bit a cigarette, and looked at the river surface with it.
Time passed by minute by minute, and the river surface was very quiet, with only the rustling sound of the river flowing by.
Suddenly, Lao Yang howled: "Damn! What is that?"
"Tuoba Gu, look at the direction at two o'clock!" Lao Yang's voice was filled with joy, as if he had discovered the target.
I hurriedly looked towards two o'clock, and sure enough, I saw a ball of white things rising and falling in the water.
"Has the corpse been found?" Lao Bird and Cao Yi also became excited.
"Go and take a look!" I suddenly exerted my force, shaking the paddles as if they were wind wheels, and rushed towards the white things.
I rowed the black-topped boat to the predetermined location. At this time, the white thing was still twenty or thirty meters away from us. I floated down at this angle and just floated past the side of the black-topped boat. The judgment of the direction of the corpse drifting is also very particular. The black-topped boat must be fixed in advance, and it cannot be stopped too far, so that the corpse cannot be caught. It cannot be stopped too close, so that the corpse cannot be hit by the black-topped boat. Some swollen corpses may knock over the black-topped boat at the impact speed of the water flow, and corpse collision is a taboo for corpse fishermen.
After I fixed the ship, I quickly took out the corpse net from the cabin, shook it in the air, threw away the net bag, slowly clasped the mahogany pole handle with both hands, held my breath and focused, and saw that the white thing was getting closer and closer to us. Judging from my experience, the white thing was probably a dead body.
Ten meters, five meters, three meters...
I raised my hands to catch the corpse net, but I didn't take any action until the white thing floated over the side of the ship.
The white thing was indeed a corpse, but not a human corpse, but a dead pig! A big and swollen fat pig! The dead pig was filled with water, and the corpse was foaming, like a round white meat ball, floating and sinking in the water. When it floated past me, it could clearly see a large piece of white maggots under the flesh skin turning in and out, emitting a foul stench.
Wow—
Cao Yi immediately lay on the side of the boat, no longer caring about her beautiful image, and she vomited loudly, and tears came out of her eyes.
The old bird also curled his lips: "Damn, eating pork will be a shadow in the future!"
Speaking of pork, I remembered the plate of shiny kang meat I ate for lunch, and my heart suddenly felt a burst of gastric juice. But later I thought that the lunch was so rich, it would be a pity if I vomited it out, so I swallowed it back into my stomach.
Cao Yi was so angry that he was out of breath: "Old Yang, it's all your fault. He was yelling around without even seeing it clearly!"
Old Yang blew: "Short eyes! Short eyes! This person is so old!"
"Hey! Look, what's there?" The old bird patted Lao Yang on the shoulder and pointed his hand at ten o'clock.
"Hmm?" Old Yang quickly raised his telescope and looked at it: "It seems like he is a person, Tuoba Gu, hurry up and take a look!"
I turned the bow of the boat and rushed towards ten o'clock.
This time, the old bird reads it wrong, and Lao Yang reads it wrong. It was indeed a corpse that drifted down the river. The corpse was not soaked in the water for a long time, but it was not short. The corpse was still more than twice as swollen, just like a fat winter melon floating on the water surface. The deceased floated face down on the water surface, and his appearance could not be seen. He could only analyze from his clothes and body that the deceased should be a man.
"Tuoba Gu, I'm looking at you!" said the old bird.
I nodded, stopped the boat, rolled up my sleeves, picked up the corpse net, bent down to stand on the deck, and stared at the swollen male corpse with both eyes, holding my breath and not moving.
Just as the male corpse floated past, I took action like lightning, and waved it out. The net bag in front suddenly covered the head of the male corpse. Then my wrist slightly strengthened to cover the male corpse so that he would not continue to drift downwards. Next, I patiently wrapped the male corpse with patience, turning around the water in circles. When the net bag almost covered most of the male corpse's body, I suddenly exerted a deep voice, accompanied by a loud shout, and suddenly carried the person and the net onto the deck.
It is early summer now, and the weather is a little hot. Although there is a wind on the river surface, I am burning with my back to the sun. I am already exhausted and sweating profusely. Of course, sweating is not important. The key is that the male corpse on the deck has begun to rot and smelly under the high temperature, and even shiny corpse oil is flowing out.
I don’t know if you have smelled the stinky corpse. Anyway, I can’t think of any words to describe the smell. It is a stinky stinky that penetrates the heart and penetrates the bone marrow, which is not as good as other stinky stinky.
As the river breeze blew, the strong smell of corpse spread in the cabin. Cao Yi, who had just stopped vomiting, couldn't help but vomit. Even people like Lao Yang and Lao Bi who had seen many corpses couldn't help but cover their noses. The smell was really unspeakable.
However, even if the smell is terrible, you still have to do the job you should do.
Old Yang waved at me and signaled me to turn the male corpse over.
I held my breath, pulled it hard, and turned the male corpse into the face.
When the front of the male corpse was exposed to my vision, I shivered suddenly, and a strong desire to vomit came out from the depths of my heart, surging along the esophagus. I covered my mouth desperately, so I didn't vomit it out on the spot.
The male corpse's facial features were rotten, the degree of rottenness was not very serious, and the age was not obvious, but the face was also scary and ferocious. The flesh on the face was rolled up, and there was also minced meat, and the eyeballs were swollen, and one even protruded out of the eye sockets, which looked like it would roll out at any time. The mouth was also rotten, and a few white maggots were trying hard to drill out from the corners of their mouths...
Lao Yang and Lao Bi walked out of the cabin and came to the deck.
I pointed to the male corpse on the ground: "Old Yang, see if this person is on the missing list?"
Lao Yang nodded and looked through the file. There were photos of nine missing people posted in the file.
The old bird recognized it suddenly: "Zhou Wei! This male corpse is Zhou Wei!"
I leaned over and looked at it. Zhou Wei in the photo was a middle-aged man in his forties. He was slightly fat and had a small red mole on his right ear bead. He was wearing a beige shirt before he disappeared.
I looked at the male corpse on the deck again. She was slightly fat and dressed in a beige shirt, which was very consistent with the deceased Zhou Wei.
Lao Yang held his breath, squatted down and carefully observed Zhou Wei's right ear. There was indeed a small mole on the ear bead.
The various characteristics of the deceased are consistent with Zhou Wei, and it is almost certain that this floating corpse is Zhou Wei.
Lao Yang said to the old bird, "I informed the people to send someone to take Zhou Wei's body back for an autopsy to see how he died!"
The old bird nodded, walked to the stern of the boat and called to notify his superiors.
In the past, after the body was salvaged, I wrapped the body with straw mat. But this is the modern 21st century, and using straw mats looks too rustic, so I have not used straw mats to wrap the body anymore, but I use a large black woven bag. I call this bag "body bag".
Lao Yang asked Cao Yi to come and help him. They worked together to pull the bag so that I could put the body into the bag.
Seeing Cao Yi's pale face, I deliberately sarcastically said, "I'm still a senior police officer in the Crime Team. I don't even dare to touch a dead body. I really don't know if you are here to catch the body or on an outing?"
Cao Yi had a blue face, gasping for breath, and his chest was undulating violently. When I was so aroused by this, the crazy girl didn't know what was wrong with her. She lifted up her sleeves, stretched out her hands without any scruples, grabbed the corpse's feet, and then stuffed the corpse into the body bag.
Old Yang stared at Cao Yi in a daze, raised his thumb and exclaimed: "No, I really give us the serious crime leader's face!"
I smiled embarrassedly: "What a heroine! But I mind you'd better wash your hands quickly, and don't grab things with your hands for three or five days. The smell of corpse on your hands will not be washed away for a long time!"
Cao Yi curled his lips and saw his hands covered in corpse oil. He quickly squatted on the side of the boat and kept rubbing his hands.
"Tsk tsk, you are brave but not smart, and you have big breasts but no brains!" I murmured in a low voice. This dead girl often hurts me, and I finally caught a chance to hurt her.
"Okay!" Lao Yang comforted: "Why are you two like enemies? You quarrel when you meet!"
Cao Yi and I spoke in unison: "I owe him in my previous life!"
Damn, I actually had a sympathy with this little girl, and spoke in unison, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah!
Old Yang was about to tie the body bag, and I told him not to be anxious. Then he took out a corpse-fixed talisman from his pocket, recited a string of spells quickly, raised his hand and slapped the corpse-fixed talisman on the center of the dead corpse's forehead, and then let out a sigh: "Do it!"
Lao Yang looked at the yellow talisman and asked me curiously: "What is this?"
"This is called the corpse-fixing talisman, to prevent the corpse from changing!" I said.
There is a rule for us corpse fishermen. For the sake of our own safety, after catching the corpse, we must paste a corpse-determination talisman to prevent the corpse from accidentally transforming.
After doing all this, the sun was about to set. The afterglow of the sunset made a hole in the sky, like blood flowing out to the ancient Yellow River Road, reflecting the entire river surface.
I looked at the sky. It was getting late. Before it was dark, I had to collect the boat and could not continue to catch the corpse. It was best to transport the fished corpse back to the shore before it was completely dark.
Lao Yang knew that there were many taboo rules for us corpse hunters, and he did not ask me to stay and stay for a while.
