Chapter 44 - Certified Female Corpse

On the night we moved, while Sun Lu, Blind Man Liu and I were eating, I received a call from the Professor Lin, telling me to go straight to headquarters tomorrow morning.

I didn't dare to drink too much. Just after 8 o'clock the next morning, I rushed over to the city police station.

The old professor's usual reticence, when he saw me, only said, "I'm here," and let me go with him to the forensic lab.

"Youngest junior brother, you've finally come." Ma Li put her hand on my shoulder and smiled.

Of the six or seven people in the laboratory, only she was a slob. The rest of them either frowned or had dark expressions on their faces.

Looking at the people in front of me, I felt a burst of nervousness. Other than Ma Li and the two scientists here, the rest of them are all professors in my academy.

Professor Lin pointed to the workbench: "Go and conduct an analysis and tell me about the cause of death."

I quickly put on my work clothes and walked over. Carefully, I pulled open the body bag.

"Ugh …"

Looking at the head of a rotten melon, I retch.

The corpse inside was actually an old horse!

Resisting the urge to vomit, I pulled the entire body bag away and carefully examined its corpse from head to toe.

Just as I was about to cut a slice, Professor Lin said in a deep voice: "A preliminary judgement, what is the cause of death?"

I looked at the obvious finger marks on the melon's head with a conflicted expression. I turned my head and whispered, "I suddenly died from a single slap."

"Pfft …" Ma Li could not hold in her laughter, turned and ran off to the side.

The other professors could not help but laugh.

I bitterly looked at Professor Lin. I really couldn't find any other words to describe me.

The always serious old professor actually had a trace of a smile in his eyes. He cleared his throat and said in a deep voice,

"I've already reported your situation to the university. The school will begin tomorrow, so there's no need for you to go to school."

My heart sank. "Professor …"

"After discussion with the school leaders, I believe that your specialty is very outstanding. However, your psychological evaluation must be postponed until the final comprehensive evaluation. Only then will you be able to decide whether you can graduate or not."

Professor Lin rubbed his nose, "Cough, from tomorrow on, you will directly come here to officially start your internship."

After he finished speaking, he gave a folder to Ma Li and brought a few professors out.

"Hehehe, I give up, you actually dared to tease Professor Lin! "He died from a single slap..." Ma Li put his hand on my shoulder and laughed so hard he couldn't even raise his waist.

I was stunned for a long time before I realized what had happened. I almost shouted 'Long live Professor'.

The old professor will definitely report my part-time job to the school, but he definitely hid it for me. Otherwise, forget about getting an internship half a year earlier, it would be hard for me to graduate.

Ma Li then formally introduced me to her colleagues from the other laboratories and showed me the folder in front of her eyes.

"Youngest junior brother, you have to curry favor with me. Right now, your life and death rights are in my hands!"

I said that was a must, as long as I could do it, Senior Sister can instruct me to go through fire and water, to do whatever I want with my body.

In the afternoon, Guo Sen called me into his office, pointed to a person and said, "This is the newly transferred vice-captain, you guys should get to know each other."

When I saw it, I was amused. It's Zhao Qi.

Zhao Qi did not bother to exchange pleasantries with me, and directly asked me: "I will be in charge of the search for the female corpse, what are your opinions and suggestions?"

Seeing that both him and Guo Sen were looking at me with a smile that was yet not a smile, I took a deep breath and whispered: "The female corpse's name might be Mao Xiaoyu."

"How do you know the name of the deceased?" Guo Sen asked.

I pursed my lips and said nothing.

I burned that tablet before I moved. I can't forget the name on it.

Guo Sen nodded as he comprehended the meaning, and let Zhao Qi look into the name.

… ….

This morning, the police received a report of a murder in a small district of the new district. Ma Li and I followed the police out.

Along the way, I felt uneasy. The area where the murder occurred was Sang Lan's home.

At the bottom of the crime scene, I was relieved to find that it wasn't their house.

"Carry the box!" Ma Li ordered me arrogantly as she pulled her hands out of her pockets and got off the carriage.

I got out of the car with the test kit. I had barely taken a few steps when I heard a gasp.

Looking towards the source of the voice, he couldn't help but be taken aback.

Not far away, Sang Lan, Ji Yayun and the woman were standing.

The one who inhaled was a short, bald old man who wore a grey coat with a cloth covering his chest.

The old man stared at me with his beady eyes, as if I were some kind of monster.

I nodded towards Ji Yayun and quickly walked into the building.

The scene was a unit on the top floor, which was also the eighth floor.

There was a cordon of security at the door. Before even entering, he could smell a pungent stench.

"It was the person who collected the electricity who caught the stench. The deceased could have been the head of the household." Guo Sen said as he frowned.

I carried the box and followed Ma Li into the bedroom. The rotten stench was suffocating.

There was a dead woman lying flat on the bed. Her hair was dyed red, and she was wearing a sleeveless black vest. Her crimson skirt barely covered her private parts.

The dead woman's legs were long and thin, and she wore skin colored stockings and black high-heeled shoes.

After setting up the camera, I opened the test kit and waited for Ma Li's instructions.

Ma Li looked at the corpse, then turned and said to me: "What are you still standing there for, let's begin?"

I started, then felt another wave of nausea.

The corpse was stylish and had a nice figure, but it definitely wasn't fancy.

Apart from the head, the entire body was covered with a layer of protective film, and the stockings on the legs were worn outside the protective film.

The corpse's face was painted with very thick makeup, not smoky makeup, but normal makeup. However, it was so thick that it was almost impossible to see its original appearance.

If I had known that theory was different from reality, I would have been shocked quite a bit when I practiced for the first time.

Ma Li and I walked to the two sides of the bed and carefully examined the details of the corpse.

After a while, Ma Li straightened up and asked, "What do you think?"

I strode to the door, took two deep breaths, and returned to the bedroom.

"The killer covered the dead body with a protective film. He probably wanted to completely cremate the body to preserve it, but because there was no seal, the body started to rot."

"Cause of death." Ma Li said quickly.

"There are circular shrinkage marks under the fresh film on the neck of the deceased. They were caused by asphyxiation. Judging by the shape and color of the shrinkage, they were strangled by the front."

"Judging the time of death."

I looked at the air conditioner and said slowly,

"Judging from the degree of waxing and decay, if the room is kept at its current temperature, the time of death should be around two months."

Ma Li nodded her head, "The cause of death is clear, there is no need to conduct a local examination, pack the corpses and bring them back for detailed analysis."

Big Chang and I started packing the bodies.

Just as the two of them were about to work together to carry the corpse into the body bag, Zhang Jie's hand suddenly trembled, and the upper part of the corpse fell back onto the bed.

"What are you doing?" Ma Li asked.

"Her eyelashes are moving!" Big Ears trembled.

I quickly looked at the corpse's face, and the moment I saw the corpse's eyes, the corpse's eyes suddenly opened!

Her eyes had begun to shrivel and crinkle, but I still felt as if she were saying something with her eyes.

In that instant, I had a strange feeling. I subconsciously raised my head and saw a faintly discernible figure of a woman standing in the corner!

When the woman saw me, she pointed to the bed beneath the body.

Ma Li walked over and said: "Go away, I'll take a look."

I looked at the open air conditioner, then looked at the direction of the woman's finger and pulled Ma Li, pointing at the bed and giving her a look.

Guo Sen raised his eyebrows, and immediately took out his gun.

Just as he took out the gun, the corpse on the bed bounced up.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

With a hysterical scream, the mattress flipped open. A man jumped up from underneath the mattress and pounced towards Ma Li and me.

I anxiously pushed Ma Li away, but that person had already crashed into my body.

Because of the shoe cover, I couldn't stand still at all. I leaned back and crashed out of the window with a bang.

"Bang!" "Bam!"

Following two gunshots from above, Guo Sen and Ma Li stuck their heads out.

"Damn, this kid's life is really big!" Guo Sen said with his eyes wide open.

"Cut the crap, go to the seventh floor and pull him up!" Ma Li said loudly.

I tightly grabbed onto the air-conditioning fence until Guo Sen and a bunch of people rushed to the seventh floor to pull me up. Only then did my heart drop back into my throat.

"Li-jie, the professor never said that you need to risk your life to do this job? I almost died young! "

Ma Li came over and looked at the wound on my arm that was rubbing against it. She heaved a sigh of relief and rolled her eyes at me while pinching her waist: "What are you trying to do? Even if you found someone beneath the bed, couldn't you have left first to remind Old Guo? "

"I'll know next time." I nodded with lingering fear.

"Don't touch my woman! Nana is mine! "You stinking men, don't touch her …"

Until he was handcuffed and carried to the ambulance, the man was still howling crazily.

"Another one born of love and hatred, transformed due to hatred …"

Guo Sen shook his head, holding onto my shoulder as he walked out. "How did you find out that there's someone under the mattress?"

I looked at the dead woman in the car and bit my lip.

I was about to get in the car with her when the woman ran over, grabbed my arm, and cried,

"Xiao Fu, Xiao Fu … It's my mom's fault, it's my fault. Don't do such a dangerous job, okay? I'll support you, I'll give you money! "

I started, then smiled at her. "I'm sorry, Mrs. Sang, but I have my own life. I don't need charity."

The police car drove out of the district, Ma Li hugged my shoulders, "Hey, is that your mom?"

"I haven't seen my parents since I could remember. I'm not sure."

Because I was honorably injured the first time I went out to police, Ma Li gave me three days leave.

I also didn't expect to almost die on my first mission. I drove to a deli to buy cured meat and vegetables, and then went to the supermarket to buy half a dozen beers to celebrate my survival.

As usual, I went upstairs to get my keys. Just as I was about to insert them into the lock, the door opened with a "Bada".
