The rescue operation lasted all day and night. As the typhoon moved northward, the overall weather in Jiangnan City gradually stabilized.
Since the Xize Reservoir is open to release floods, the overall safety of the Xize Reservoir is also ensured.
After unanimous inspection by technical experts, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Next to the Nishizawa Reservoir, a middle-aged Mediterranean man took off his glasses, wiped them twice, put them on the bridge of his nose again, and said slowly:
"The Xize Reservoir is generally safe. These cracks will not cause the entire Xize Reservoir to collapse."
"However, this is also a preliminary judgment. In the next few days, we will also send other expert teams to repeatedly demonstrate the situation of the Xize Reservoir."
"If it needs to be renovated, we will also provide specific plans."
"Director Liu." The mayor of Xize Town held the Mediterranean man's hands tightly and said with gratitude: "If that's the case, that would be great. We in Xize Town have paid too much for flood relief."
"I know that the comrades of Xize Town have worked hard for you, and I also want to thank you for your efforts in Xize Town."
Director Liu patted the back of the mayor's hand, turned to look at the many rescue team representatives, and couldn't help but sigh: "The Xize Reservoir has been saved, and everything will be fine."
"Now the floods are slowly declining. The most important thing is to help the residents of Xize Town return to their homes."
"Don't worry." An armed police major came out and said, "We will bring the residents of Xize Town who have been temporarily transferred out as soon as possible."
"In addition, we can also leave it to us to clean up the mud on the main roads nearby."
"There are still us." Another fire rescue team commander said.
The mayor looked at everyone, nodded silently, and bowed to thank everyone: "No words can express my gratitude to you. In short, on behalf of all the residents of Xize Town, I would like to thank you, thank you, the rescue team, for your support in
In times of crisis, help our residents in Xize Town."
"I would also like to thank the kind people who donated materials free of charge and thank them for their help to our Xize Town..."
The mayor kept talking on the dam, but his words were choked with sobs.
The town of Xize was flooded and suffered heavy losses, which made the mayor feel uncomfortable.
But as the water receded, the weather gradually improved.
The mayor's heart is filled with gratitude for the various rescue teams and caring people who came to support.
Gu Chen took the initiative to step forward and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, the city is already actively dispatching supplies, and a large amount of supplies will be shipped into Xize Town soon."
"In addition, Xize Town should also count the damage as soon as possible and respond positively. The superiors should give you a lot of support, especially in reconstruction."
"Yes, that's right." The mayor suddenly realized it. After recovering from the uncomfortable mood just now, he patted Gu Chen on the shoulder and said with a smile:
"Comrade police, thank you this time. I still have a lot of work to do. I may not have treated you rescue teams well, so please forgive me."
"It's okay, we're here just to help you, you don't have to worry about us." Gu Chen was also polite to the mayor.
After all, Gu Chen could now see that the mayor felt aggrieved.
The devastated Xize Town is enough for the mayor to worry about at the moment.
As a local official, no one wants their district to become like this, so the mayor has been suppressing his sad mood while communicating with everyone.
For Gu Chen, the mayor has already seen this clearly.
The mayor sniffed, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said with a forced smile: "I heard that your father runs a grocery store. This time when our Xize Town was hit by floods, he directly brought a truckload of supplies and donated them free of charge.
Does this happen to us in Xize Town?"
"It's just a little effort." When Gu Chen heard the mayor's words, he also smiled faintly and replied: "My dad often said that when one side is in trouble, there will be support from all sides. We are all descendants of the Yan and Huang Dynasties, and we are all fellows of Jiangnan City."
"Xize Town was hit by floods, and he looked worried, thinking that Xize Town might be in urgent need of food, water, and some daily necessities."
"So without thinking too much, he called a large truck and directly brought the supplies over."
"Thank you, I really appreciate it." The mayor patted Gu Chen's shoulder heavily with his right hand, and couldn't help but said: "We will remember the deeds of you and your father..."
Gu Chen was about to reply, but his cell phone rang instantly.
Smiling at the mayor, Gu Chen took out his phone and opened the answer button.
At this moment, Officer Wang on the other end of the phone also said anxiously: "Gu Chen, come here quickly. We have found the old man you are looking for."
"Found it?" After hearing the good news, Gu Chen was very excited and asked hurriedly: "Is he okay now?"
Officer Wang on the other end of the phone also sighed and said: "Unfortunately, he is dead now. We have pulled his body out of the water."
"What? The person is dead?" Upon hearing the news, Gu Chen was instantly confused.
Gu Chen had previously thought of continuing to organize personnel to further search for the whereabouts of the missing old man.
But now it seems that the person has been found, but the person is gone.
This result was not what Gu Chen wanted to see.
With a heavy heart, Gu Chen explained directly to the mayor and other rescue team leaders: "I have to deal with something now, and I have to leave first."
"good."
"Gu team, be careful when the road is slippery."
"Gu team, walk slowly."
…
Everyone looked at Gu Chen's back as he quickly left, and all stepped forward in unison, sighing in Gu Chen's direction.
"He is already the captain of the criminal investigation team at such a young age."
"This guy has an unlimited future."
"Yeah, my family is pretty good. My father donates a truckload of supplies. This family is very positive."
"Gu Chen? Well, I seem to have seen him in the media often. I really think the police poster outside my community is him."
…
Everyone started talking about Gu Chen's situation.
But more people are envious.
On the other side, when Gu Chen received the call from Officer Wang, he rushed down the mountain without stopping.
I ran all the way and finally arrived at Xize Town Central Primary School as quickly as possible.
At this moment, at the entrance of Xize Town Central Primary School, an old man was lying on a plastic sheet.
The onlookers were also separated by the police, but everyone was still curious about the old man.
"How's it going?" Gu Chen trotted over, pushed aside several young police officers, and came directly to the old man.
Lu Weiwei turned around and whispered back: "This is the missing old man we are looking for."
"How did you find him?" Gu Chen took out his white gloves and put them on, and quickly squatted in front of the old man to check.
Yuan Shasha replied: "When I took a few students to search downstream, I found a body hanging next to a big tree next to the river."
"Because the river water rose at that time, and the branches had hook-like structures, they hooked people there, so we went there together and transported the bodies back."
"Then how are you sure that this old man is the person we are looking for?" Gu Chen asked again.
Lu Weiwei responded quickly: "We asked the group of people who stayed at Xize Town Central Primary School, and several of them were from the village on the other side of the river. They told us that this was the old man who lived alone in the old house."
"How could this happen?" After hearing Lu Weiwei's words, Gu Chen couldn't accept it for a while.
You know, according to what was said before, the old man should be good at swimming. Many people in the village even started learning to swim and learned from this old man.
But now, the flood is ruthless and has sent this old man away.
Feeling a little regretful, Gu Chen couldn't help but sigh: "What a pity. It would have been great if we had discovered this old man at that time. However, we were obviously around the old man at the time, but why didn't we notice that this old man had entered the water?
"
"Maybe it was because of the violent storm and loud noise. Captain Gu, you don't have to blame yourself."
A police academy cadet saw that Gu Chen was blaming himself, so he quickly came over to comfort him.
Although what the school police officer said made sense, Gu Chen actually knew it very well.
He has a master's level of observation, and his ability to observe the details and movements around him is several times that of ordinary people.
Even in a stormy environment, Gu Chen could still hear any call.
Even if the old man who entered the water at that time had only to shout, even just one sentence, Gu Chen could quickly locate the old man's position.
But none of this happened.
Moreover, when an old man enters the water, there will inevitably be a huge movement.
But in this regard, Gu Chen still didn't notice any movement.
Therefore, the consolation from this school policeman seemed a bit suspicious to Gu Chen.
Seeing the old man's body soaked in turbid water, Gu Chen briefly checked the old man's body, but suddenly found that the old man's body seemed to be in some abnormal condition.
"That's not right."
"What's wrong?" After hearing what Gu Chen said, Officer Wang quickly stepped forward and asked Gu Chen, "Is there any problem?"
"There seems to be something wrong with the corpse." Gu Chen repeatedly observed the old man's facial features, and then checked the old man's nails and other key parts.
Lu Weiwei stepped forward and asked: "Is it the wrong time of death?"
"You're right." After hearing what Lu Weiwei said, Gu Chen directly echoed: "We participated in the rescue from yesterday's daytime to today. In terms of time, it is almost a day and a night."
Looking down at his watch, Gu Chen added: "In terms of time, it has only been about 24 hours since we found the old man wearing a raincoat and a bamboo hat sitting on the roof yesterday, and it will not exceed 25 at most.
Hours."
"But judging from the characteristics of the old man's death now, it seems that it was far beyond this time."
"Wha...what?" After hearing Gu Chen's words, several school policemen around him suddenly stared blankly, feeling a little frightened after thinking about it.
Yuan Shasha also asked weakly: "Senior Brother Gu, do you think this old man has died a long time ago? Before we found him..."
"Shh!" Gu Chen made a shushing gesture and turned to look behind him.
At this moment, the masses are isolated and not gathered around.
But there are still various discussions.
The noise covers everything.
Gu Chen reminded the few student policemen around him: "What I just said is just my current speculation, but before the matter is investigated clearly, please keep your mouth shut, do you understand?"
"clear!"
When several school police officers heard this, they all nodded.
Everyone understood what Gu Chen meant.
Gu Chen turned around and continued to examine the old man's body. He couldn't help but sigh: "Maybe it's because the body was soaked in water. There may be some errors in judgment. We need to use some auxiliary tools to further examine the body."
Detection.”
"Send it to the technical department and let Gao Chuanfeng do a diatom test." Officer Wang said.
"Okay." Gu Chen nodded silently, this seemed to be the best way.
After thinking about it, Gu Chen turned around and said to Yuan Shasha: "By the way, Xiao Yuan, where did you find this body? Can you take me there again now?"
"Okay, it's a bit far away from here. If Senior Brother Gu wants to go, I can take you there."
Yuan Shasha heard something unusual in Gu Chen's tone, and seemed to have doubts about the old man's death.
Gu Chen turned to look at the other school police officers and warned: "Find something else to cover the body and don't let these people get close."
"Before we come back, don't let anyone touch the body, do you understand?"
"clear!"
As if they felt something was wrong, several school police officers nodded vigorously and whispered in agreement.
Afterwards, Gu Chen took Lu Weiwei, Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha together in a kayak and started driving towards the location where the body was found.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After 15 minutes, Yuan Shasha slowed down the speed of the kayak and repeatedly checked against the shore, but did not make a final conclusion immediately.
.
Lu Weiwei saw that Yuan Shasha was having some difficulty in searching, and asked out of curiosity: "Xiao Yuan, can't you find it?"
"No, I remember it's in this area, but where exactly is it, let me take a closer look."
As soon as she finished speaking, Yuan Shasha suddenly lit up her eyes at a place and said quickly: "Yes, that's right there. The body was found there."
"Is it here?" Gu Chen followed Yuan Shasha's direction and pointed forward to confirm.
Yuan Shasha nodded fiercely: "Yes, in order to get the body off the hanging branch, we also broke the strong branch at this location."
After showing clear signs of breaking, Gu Chen immediately slowly approached the kayak until it could reach the shore.
As soon as they reached the shore, Gu Chen jumped into the water and climbed directly to the shore.
Seeing this, Lu Weiwei followed closely, followed by Yuan Shasha.
Officer Wang didn't want to come over and join in the fun, so he stayed in the kayak.
At this moment, Gu Chen walked to the big tree and looked around the tree.
It's a coincidence that this big tree grows on the shore, especially at its roots, and even stretches along the shore and directly into the water.
Since the branches of the big tree were relatively strong, Gu Chen could tell that Yuan Shasha and the others had to break the branches and fish the body out into the kayak, which obviously took a lot of trouble.
"Xiao Yuan." Gu Chen turned his head and looked at Yuan Shasha.
Yuan Shasha immediately replied: "Senior Brother Gu, what's the matter?"
"Retell to me your situation at that time, the more detailed the better." Gu Chen said.
Yuan Shasha nodded and said, "According to your request, we actively searched for traces of the old man in the downstream direction."
"Later, a junior fellow student with good eyesight immediately discovered that there seemed to be a body floating on the shore."
"So we didn't think much at the time and just drove the kayak over."
"Then what?" Gu Chen asked again.
"Then?" Yuan Shasha was stunned and quickly replied: "Then we discovered that the body of an old man hanging on the shore looked like he had drowned."
"When we were preparing to launch rescue operations, we found that his head was facing the water and he was not breathing at all, so we wanted to get the old man's body into the kayak and bring it back."
"Did you find anything suspicious during the process?" Gu Chen raised his head and asked again.
"Suspicious situation?" Yuan Shasha touched her head and said with some hesitation: "If there is any special situation, there seems to be none. Oh, by the way, the body is hung on the branches and roots of the tree, so it is difficult to rescue it."
"That's right." Officer Wang looked at the structure of the big tree and expressed his opinion: "This tree is indeed very strange. The branches are growing into the water, and the roots are also spreading into the water."
"If there hadn't been this big tree, maybe the old man's body would have continued to float farther downstream."
"Yes." Officer Wang's words completely awakened Gu Chen.
Gu Chen stood up, touched the big branch broken by Yuan Shasha and others, and couldn't help but said: "So Xiao Yuan, the old man's body was tightly hooked by these things, right?"
"Yes, it's so hooked that it's difficult to take it off. It feels like it's been nailed on."
Yuan Shasha also explained the rescue experience to Gu Chen in detail.
And through the creases on these branches, Gu Chen could roughly tell what posture the old man's body should have been in when it was hooked.
After thinking briefly for a few seconds, Gu Chen suddenly stood up and shared his experience with everyone: "These situations are not the point. The point is that the old man has good water quality. This is the key."
"Why would a person with good water skills drown in the water? In the situation like yesterday, he could have saved himself by swimming."
"I think for those who have learned some swimming and try their best to swim to the shore, it shouldn't be a big problem."
"But……"
"Junior Brother Gu." Before Gu Chen could finish his words, Lu Weiwei quickly echoed: "I also feel now that this old man's death is getting more and more strange, you see."
Pointing to the thick branches in front of her, Lu Weiwei also expressed her opinion: "These branches don't look like the corpses floated over and were hooked."
"Then what do you think?" Officer Wang, who was sitting on the kayak, also asked curiously.
Lu Weiwei crossed her arms and said thoughtfully: "I feel that from the structural position, it looks a bit like it was deliberately fixed."
"Deliberately fixed? Senior Sister Lu, are you saying that the body was deliberately fixed in this position?" Yuan Shasha seemed to feel that it was a bit fanciful when she heard Lu Weiwei's words.
