A week after the case ended, everyone was busy with their own affairs. June was the graduation season, and several students led by Chen Bai also graduated one after another. They were all assigned to the police station and started as police trainees.
"Fishing? I won't go. This is something only old men do, and I have no interest in it!"
Chen Bai politely declined Teacher Wang's invitation. He didn't want to go out on a big weekend. Sleeping until he wakes up naturally and then making something to eat and watching a movie would be no more interesting than going fishing.
"Well, I won't disturb you anymore."
After Teacher Wang left, Chen Bai simply tidied up and prepared to take Song Anchun home.
"Chen Bai, since you are here I don't have to ask Song Anchun to give it to you anymore."
Chen Bai saw the invitation in Bai Hongwei's hand and asked with some doubts.
"Didn't you give me your wedding invitation a long time ago? What is this?"
"This is not an invitation to my wedding. This is an invitation to Director Ding's grandson's wedding."
Chen Bai was a little surprised. Director Ding was in his sixties, and his grandsons were all married?
"Director Ding gave birth to a son when he was twenty-two years old. His son also gave birth to children after he got married in his twenties. Now Director Ding's sixty-plus grandchildren are all married. If people work fast, maybe Director Ding will be able to do it when he is seventy.
Becoming a grandpa."
"Yes! This is the advantage of getting married early!"
Chen Bai was a little helpless. He was almost forty and still not married, while his son was about to get married when he was over forty.
"What did you say?"
"Director Ding's grandson is getting married this Saturday. You must be there!"
Bai Hongwei said and gave Song Anchun a copy of the invitation in his hand.
"Why is the road so congested? It's been like this this week whether I'm at work or after get off work. It's really annoying!"
Song Anchun was a little angry. Chen Bai smiled when he saw Song Anchun's appearance and stretched out his hand to rub Song Anchun's head.
"It seems that the sewer pipes on the third street in front have broken, and now the roads there are closed, so there is such a blockage here."
Although he said this, Chen Bai was also a little upset. There was already a traffic jam during the Friday evening rush hour, but now all the cars were stuck on the road and couldn't move. He didn't know how long the traffic jam would last.
"How long are we going to be stuck here? I really want to go home and eat!"
Song Anchun was a little angry. Chen Bai had no choice but to reach out and touch Song Anchun's head.
"Okay, if you're tired, go take a rest."
"good!"
Chen Bai didn't expect that Song Anchun would go to the back seat and lie down to sleep immediately after saying that. The sun was setting and the temperature was not too hot. Chen Bai was enjoying the rare quietness in the afternoon, but he would not have thought that the reservoir was two kilometers away at this time.
Two scavengers were struggling to drag a huge suitcase out of the water.
"Lao Zhang, let me tell you, I discovered this suitcase first. Whatever is in it, I will share half of it."
"Okay, okay, whatever you say is what it is."
The two dragged the suitcase to the shore, but the moment they opened the suitcase, they were stunned. Because the suitcase was not a treasure, but a cold female corpse.
"What? Okay, I understand."
Chen Bai put down his cell phone. As soon as he came out of the traffic jam, he received a call from Bai Hongwei, saying that someone reported that a female body was found in the reservoir.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
Song Anchun rubbed his eyes. He just vaguely heard what Chen Bai was saying, and he would be there soon.
"Someone reported that a body was found in the Dongjiao Reservoir. We need to rush there immediately."
"Well! I don't want to work overtime!"
When Song Anchun heard that he had to work again, he started acting coquettishly in the back seat of the car.
"Okay, it's no use being coquettish, we have to rush over now."
After Chen Bai finished speaking, he saw Song Anchun sitting in the back seat with an unhappy look on his face.
"What's going on at the scene?"
When Chen Bai rushed to the scene, Bai Hongwei and the others had already arrived. Chen Bai put on his gloves and set up a cordon to enter the scene.
"Just now, we received a report from two scavengers, saying that they found a suitcase in the reservoir. When they opened the suitcase, they found that it contained the body of a woman. They were frightened and called the police.
"
Chen Bai nodded, while Song Anchun had already begun to examine the bodies on the ground.
"The cause of death of the deceased should be mechanical suffocation. Judging from the strangulation marks on the neck of the deceased, the murder weapon should be something like a wire. However, there are three scars on the head of the deceased from blunt force blows, and the face of the deceased is seriously damaged, and there are
Burn marks."
After Song Anchun finished speaking, he lowered his head and smelled it before continuing.
"There is a strange smell on the face of the deceased, but I can't tell what it is yet. The time of death of the deceased is probably between 12 hours and 24 hours. I can't accurately deduce it now because the body is soaked in water.
The time of death of the deceased.”
After Song Anchun finished speaking, Chen Bai knelt down and smelled the smell Song Anchun mentioned carefully.
"It's lighter oil. Zippo lighters usually use this kind of oil. The murderer probably poured the oil on the face of the deceased to aid combustion. However, there were also marks of being hit repeatedly with a blunt object on the face of the deceased. Judging from the logic of the murderer's behavior, he may have
There is a deep resentment towards the deceased, but it is also possible that he is an acquaintance of the deceased. I think we can first investigate the recent missing persons."
After everyone took the body back, they all went back. Chen Bai knew that this must be the scene where the body was dumped and not the first scene.
"Chen Bai, I have extracted the fingerprints of the deceased. Can I just give them to Li Huan directly?"
Although the deceased did not know how long he had been soaked in the water, Wu Di was able to extract the fingerprints of the deceased.
"Well, thank you for your hard work."
Chen Bai lowered his head and looked at the corpse. Because Li Huan did not find the missing person immediately, they could only get more clues from the corpse now.
"There were a few scars on the body of the deceased. From the scars on the body of the deceased, it can be seen that the deceased had a small amount of resistance when he was killed, but because the strength gap with the murderer was too large, the resistance was basically useless. The deceased showed signs of being violated.
But since there were no injuries on the lower body and I did not extract male body fluids from the deceased’s lower body, I concluded that the murderer should have taken some measures. But..."
"but what?"
Chen Bai was a little curious, maybe Song Anchun saw something else.
"But now we don't know who the deceased is. If there is no way to find out the identity of the deceased, how should we investigate next?"
Chen Bai smiled, it turned out that Song Anchun was worried about this kind of thing.
"Actually, I have figured out the identity of the deceased!"
"What?"
Song Anchun was a little surprised, Chen Bai smiled and pointed at the hand of the deceased and said.
"Although it is said that the deceased was soaked in water for a long time, one thing that can still be seen is that there are many calluses on the hands of the deceased."
As Chen Bai spoke, he picked up the deceased's hand and showed it to Song Anchun carefully.
"You see, the calluses on the hands of the deceased are distributed under the knuckles of the index finger, middle finger and ring finger, while the calluses on the palms are distributed at the base of the lower palm. The muscles of the legs of the deceased are strong and there is very little fat on the body. It can be inferred from this
The deceased was most likely a dancer. Judging from the wear and tear on the deceased’s teeth, he was between 20 and 25 years old, so I infer that the deceased was most likely a student at the Art Academy.”
Song Anchun was a little surprised. Could Chen Bai deduce the identity of the deceased based on this?
"Okay, the rest will be left to you, a professional. I know you can definitely do it."
Afterwards, Chen Bai took Da Binzi to visit the Binhai Art Institute, but to their disappointment, no students from the Art Institute were missing.
"Teacher Chen, could it be that your inference is wrong?"
"Maybe!"
Chen Bai was also a little embarrassed at this time. At this moment, the conversation between two girls from the art academy gave Chen Bai an idea.
"Did you know? The crew that Xiaohui went to before earned more than a thousand in three days!"
"I really envy Xiaohui. It would be great if I could also go to the film crew to make money."
After the two left, Chen Bai immediately took Da Binzi to the film school.
"Teacher Chen, I found out that there is indeed a girl in the 22nd grade performance department who has not come to class for three days."
Chen Bai took the information from Da Binzi and found that a girl named Wang Jiajia had been absent from work since last Friday and did not participate in the physical exam on Sunday.
"I have a very deep impression of Wang Jiajia, a girl who was a student specializing in art before. After coming to school, her grades in various subjects were also very good. But this girl always went out to pick up private jobs behind our backs, even though she was a student in the acting department.
When she was in college, it was normal for her to go out as an extra for a film crew or to shoot commercials, but Wang Jiajia rented her apartment outside for the convenience of going out."
"okay, I get it."
Chen Bai wanted to come to the place where Wang Jiajia rented a house. After knocking on the door for a long time, no one answered.
"Is there no one there?"
According to Wang Jiajia's tutor, Wang Jiajia lived with one of his senior classmates.
"No, there must be someone there. There is a mixture of alcohol and cigarette smell in the house."
Just as he was talking, the door was opened, and a sleepy-eyed girl in pajamas said weakly.
"Who are you looking for?"
"Are you Wang Jiajia's roommate?"
Just as Da Binzi was about to take out his ID, the girl turned around and entered the house.
"Wang Jiajia is not here, come in when she says so!"
Chen Bai and Da Binzi entered the room. There were many beer bottles and various snacks on the coffee table. There was an ashtray on the floor. There were so many cigarette butts in the ashtray that they were about to pop out.
"Wang Jiajia is not here. She has not been back for a long time."
After the girl finished speaking, she sat directly on the sofa, opened a bottle of beer and drank it in one gulp.
"How long has it been since Wang Jiajia came back?"
Chen Bai saw that although there were two sofas in the living room, one of them was covered with clothes, and the girl was already lying on the sofa at this time.
"I don't know whether it's three days or four days. Anyway, that woman now has a stable job, and it's not like me who can only wait boredly."
After the girl finished speaking, she took the cigarette case from the coffee table, took out a cigarette and put it in her mouth, but she couldn't find a lighter.
"Uncle, lend me a fire!"
Chen Bai looked at the girl and could only take out a lighter and light it for the girl.
"Uncle, Wang Jiajia is not here now. If you are short of people, I can do it."
After the girl finished speaking, she posed in a charming pose on the sofa.
"We are the police. Did you know that Wang Jiajia is dead?"
Chen Bai felt a little funny. It turned out that this woman had always regarded them as the people chosen by the production crew.
"Wha...what? Wang Jiajia is dead?"
The girl sat up from the sofa all of a sudden and almost dropped the cigarette in her mouth on the sofa because she was so surprised.
"Yes, we found Wang Jiajia's body last night, so we want to ask, does Wang Jiajia have anyone close to her?"
The girl was sitting on the sofa, obviously still a little bit unconscious.
"Actually, although Wang Jiajia and I live together, we don't know each other very well. Wang Jiajia rented a house with me here just for the convenience of going to the set."
"Which one is Wang Jiajia's room?"
The girl pointed, and Chen Bai pushed the door open and walked in. The room was very clean, and there was a simple bookshelf on the table. Most of the bookshelf was filled with performance books.
