"Chief Han, don't worry, it's stable." Cui Hao replied with a smile.
"Brother Cui, let me do it." A tall auxiliary police rolled up his sleeves and volunteered himself.
This was a good opportunity to show off in front of the chief. If he didn't seize it, he would be stupid.
Cui Hao didn't need to show off in this way. He patted the auxiliary police on the shoulder, "Blackie, be careful."
"Chief, don't worry, I can swim."
A police officer next to him joked, "It's a small matter if you fall down, but the residents of South Heaven Court will suffer, and they will have to drink your bathwater."
"Haha …" The crowd burst into laughter.
Blackie scratched his head and smiled, "I'm not a widow."
"Clap clap …"
Cui Hao clapped his hands, "Guys, get to work first, we'll talk later."
Blackie lay on the ground and looked inside. At this time, the sun was setting, and the sky was dark. He couldn't see the situation inside the water tower, but he could smell a stench.
"My god … this smell." Blackie turned his head to the side, took off the police flashlight from his body, and shone it into the water tower.
The water tower was empty, and there was a gloomy feeling, which made people feel a little depressed. Blackie took the flashlight and shone it into the water tower to see if there was anything unusual.
Blackie's eyes glanced at a floating object, "Hey, what's this!"
Blackie took a closer look, and his eyes widened. He was so scared that he jumped up, "My god, it's a dead person, there's a dead person in the water tower!"
Blackie's action was too sudden, and the surrounding people were also shocked.
Cui Hao shrank his neck back, and then scolded, "What are you shouting about, give me the flashlight."
Cui Hao took the flashlight and looked into the reservoir. A pungent smell rushed into his nose. It smelled like the smell of decay. In the middle of the three points, there was an object floating. It looked round, with messy long hair, bulging eyes, and rotten cheeks. It was a rotten corpse.
The body was highly inflated and rotten, and its appearance could not be seen, but from the clothes, it was likely to be a female corpse.
Cui Hao stood up and let out a long sigh. "Director, there's a corpse in the water tower. Judging from the clothes, it looks like a woman. It's highly decayed."
Han Weidong touched his chin and stretched out his hand. "Give me the flashlight."
Cui Hao quickly handed over the flashlight.
Han Weidong lay on the ground and looked into the water tower.
Cui Hao reminded, "The body is at three o 'clock."
When Han Weidong heard this, he turned his head and couldn't help but frown. He looked very carefully, and it was indeed a highly decomposed corpse.
Han Weidong got up and returned the flashlight to Cui Hao. He clapped his hands and said, "Report to the Xinhua branch office and ask them to send someone here as soon as possible. Then pull up the perimeter. "
Cui Hao said in a clear voice, "Yes."
Forty minutes later, the people from the Criminal Investigation Unit of the Xinhua Branch arrived at the scene, led by Captain Wei Gaoming of the Criminal Investigation Unit.
"Chief Han, long time no see." Wei Gaoming walked over and shook hands with Han Weidong.
Han Weidong was a little surprised. "Old Wei, you came quite fast this time."
Wei Gaoming whispered, "I had to come. It's related to the drinking water problem of thousands of residents. This is not a small matter. If we don't solve it well, there will be problems."
Han Weidong nodded. In fact, he also realized that the impact of this case would be very big. Otherwise, he wouldn't have personally led the team.
"Where's the body?"
"I was afraid that it would destroy the scene, so I didn't ask anyone to salvage it. It's still in the water tower."
Wei Gaoming said, "Let's talk later. I'll go arrange with the forensics and forensics team."
Wei Gaoming walked to the side and called the forensics and forensics team over, and then began to split up.
The forensics team was responsible for investigating the scene on the roof, and the forensic doctor directed the police to salvage the body from the water tower.
The forensic doctor, surnamed Xu, was a man in his fifties. He stood next to the gate of the water tower and shouted, "Be gentle, be gentle. The body is very rotten. It might explode."
There were bacteria in the bodies of humans and animals. After death, the bacteria continued to move, decomposing organic matter to produce rotten gas. There was no passage for the gas to go out. It was like inflating a balloon. If the air was too much or it was punctured, the balloon would explode.
The mouth of the sluice gate was only one square meter. It took a lot of effort to fish out the corpse. The pungent smell made everyone take a step back at the same time.
The head and limbs of the body were all there. The high degree of decay and expansion made the body look like a big fat man.
The corpse was wearing a lady's long dress with straps and a pair of pink sandals.
Cui Hao curled his lips and whispered to Han Weidong, "This is really cruel. He actually died in the water tower."
Han Weidong said, "The residents of this community are also miserable. How can they not have diarrhea when they drink carrion water every day?"
Cui Hao sighed, "The clothes on the carrion body are very fashionable. I guess this girl should be young. Hey, this shoe is very interesting. There are three bumps on the soles, which look like dog paws."
Han Weidong was not very interested in the body itself. It was not his duty. He walked away and said, "Cui Hao, call the station and ask Old Ma to send a few more people."
"Director, the people of the Xinhua Branch Criminal Investigation Team are here. There is no other situation at the scene. Why do we call so many people?"
Han Weidong stretched out his right hand and knocked on Cui Hao's chest. "Let you drink carrion water for ten days and half a month. Can you be angry? There are thousands of residents in this community. It will not be a small matter if they really make trouble."
After listening to Han Weidong's words, Cui Hao's forehead was sweating. He also realized the seriousness of the matter. "You are right. I will call people over."
Han Weidong went to a corner and took out his mobile phone to call his wife. He had to go home late tonight.
…
The next morning.
After getting up, Han Bin ran downstairs to his parents' house for breakfast.
Wang Huifang steamed the buns last night and steamed them again in the morning. Last night, she used the rice cooker to cook the Eight Treasures Porridge, tea eggs, pickled vegetables, and breakfast was ready.
Han Bin liked this Eight Treasures Porridge very much. There were several kinds of rice and beans in it. It was not only nutritious but also delicious and chewy.
Han Bin drank a few mouthfuls of porridge and looked up at his father. There were dark circles under his eyes. "Dad, when did you come back yesterday?"
Han Weidong replied while peeling the egg, "It's almost 12 o 'clock."
Han Bin was a little curious. "What kind of case is it? Do you need to go in person?"
Murder cases were not under Han Weidong's jurisdiction, but this case had a great impact. If the residents of the community were to cause trouble and hurt someone, Han Weidong would also be responsible. So he kept watch until 11 o 'clock. He waited until the residents went to bed before going home.
Otherwise, even if he came back, his heart would not feel at ease.
This case was quite special. With Han Weidong's experience, it was difficult to hide it, so he did not hide it. "There was a murder in the South Heaven Court community in our jurisdiction. A woman died in the water tower."
Before Han Bin could speak, Wang Huifang, who was beside him, revealed a surprised expression. "In the water tower? Does it have anything to do with the water we drank? "
"That water tower was only pressurized twice. It has nothing to do with the water company. It won't affect other communities, but the residents of the South Heaven Court community …" Han Weidong shook his head. This kind of thing would be very annoying to anyone.
Han Bin asked, "Suicide? Or homicide? "
Han Weidong stopped there and smiled. "I can't tell you the details of the case. It's confidential."
Han Bin did not ask further. He was too busy with the case at hand, so there was no need to worry about it.
However, he secretly remembered the name of the neighborhood and made up his mind not to go there to eat.
Han Bin had seen a lot of corpses, so he did not have much of a reaction. Wang Huifang was different. She asked, "How long has the person been dead for?"
Han Weidong glanced at his wife. She usually did not care about cases. "What does it have to do with you? Your son doesn't even ask about it, and you're still asking. "
"I'm not concerned about the case. I just think that if the person died in the water tower, the residents would have to drink corpse water every day. How … I can't even think about it. Otherwise, I won't be able to eat." Wang Huifang waved her hand.
Han Weidong comforted her, "Then don't ask about it. It's far away from us. Don't worry about it."
Wang Huifang said, "I just think that the murderer is quite infuriating. He killed someone and threw them into the water tower. How many people did he kill? If I lived in that community, I would be so angry."
Han Weidong smiled. "I'm worried about people who think like you, so I stared at the South Tian Yuan community for most of the night. I only came back after I was sure that nothing happened."
"Also, I have to correct one thing. I only said that there was a dead body in the water tower. I didn't say whether it was a homicide or suicide. Don't spread rumors."
Wang Huifang snorted. "Look at what you're saying. I'm not that kind of person. I've been married to you for so many years. When have I ever told outsiders about your case?"
Han Bin was already used to his parents' bickering. He continued to eat.
"Ring ring ring …" At that moment, Han Bin's phone rang.
Han Bin picked up the phone and saw that it was Ding Xifeng's number. He quickly pressed the answer button. "Hello, Captain."
Ding Xifeng's voice sounded from the phone. "Where are you?"
"Eating at home."
"How's the 6.26 Special Case that you and Yuhua Branch jointly handled?"
"There's some progress. I was just about to report to you."
"I heard from Captain Ma that the suspect is suspected to be wearing a pair of shoes with dog paw prints?"
"Yes." Han Bin was a little puzzled. He couldn't figure out why Ding Xifeng called. "Captain, is there a problem?"
"Last night, there was a case in Xinhua District. A woman died in a high-rise water tower. She also wore a pair of shoes with dog paw prints. These two cases have certain similarities. Since you're an expert in identifying footprints, I want you to understand this case and see if the two cases are related."
"Understood. I'll go to the Municipal Criminal Investigation Unit now."
"The nature of this case is relatively bad. The Xinhua Branch has already reported it to the Municipal Bureau, but the body and related evidence are still in the Xinhua Branch. You can go there directly to meet me."
"Yes, I understand."
After the phone call, Han Bin looked at his father, who was sitting across from him. "Dad, was the victim in the case you mentioned a woman?"
"Yes. How did you know?"
Han Bin continued to ask, "Did she wear a pair of shoes with dog paw prints?"
"Your captain said that?"
"Yes. He suspected that this case might be related to the case I'm investigating, so he asked me to go to the Xinhua Branch to understand the situation."
"Why do you still need to go to the Xinhua Branch? You can just ask me to understand the situation." Han Weidong smiled. He had long thought of working with his son, but he didn't expect it to be in this way.
While he was eating, Han Weidong told his father about the case. He was at the scene and participated in the whole process. His description was very detailed.
Han Bin understood the general situation of the case, but he still needed to go to the Xinhua Branch Criminal Investigation Unit to know the identity of the victim and the follow-up investigation of the case.
Half an hour later, Han Bin arrived at the Xinhua Branch.
Han Bin waited in the yard for a while and saw Ding Xifeng's car driving into the branch.
After the door opened, Ding Xifeng walked out with his bag.
Han Bin quickly went up to greet him. "Captain."
Ding Xifeng patted Han Bin's shoulder. "Let's go."
Ding Xifeng took Han Bin straight to the Criminal Investigation Unit. As soon as they arrived at the door, a middle-aged man came out to greet them. "Captain Ding, I was just about to go out to greet you, but I was a step too late."
Ding Xifeng stopped and looked at the middle-aged man. When he saw the black circles on the man's face, he smiled. "Old Wei, you don't have to be so polite with me."
The Old Wei that Ding Xifeng mentioned was Wei Gaoming, the captain of the Xinhua Branch Criminal Investigation Unit.
"Captain Ding, I'll take you to the conference room." Wei Gaoming made a gesture and ordered his men, "Go to my office and take out the box of Longjing tea that I've hidden. Make a pot for Captain Ding."
Ding Xifeng laughed. "That's possible."
The two chatted and laughed as they went to the conference room on the second floor. Han Bin followed behind Ding Xifeng.
When they entered the conference room, Ding Xifeng was invited to the main seat. No one knew Han Bin's identity, so it was difficult to make arrangements.
Wei Gaoming pointed to Han Bin and asked, "Captain Ding, did you bring this young man from the city's Criminal Investigation Unit?"
"His name is Han Bin, and he's the captain of the city's Criminal Investigation Unit."
Wei Gaoming thought for a moment. "Han Bin. This name sounds familiar."
Han Bin replied, "Captain Wei, my father's name is Han Weidong. He also works in the Xinhua Branch."
"No wonder he looks so familiar. So he's the son of Chief Han." Wei Gaoming smiled and said, "Last night, it was your father who brought people to the crime scene. When it comes to understanding the case, he's no worse than me."
"What a coincidence." Ding Xifeng looked at him inquiringly.
"Captain Ding, when you called me, I was having dinner with my father. Tian Nan Court happens to be under his jurisdiction, so I asked him about the situation. That's when I found out that he brought people to the police station."
Ding Xifeng nodded. He was also aware of Han Weidong's identity, but he didn't expect the crime scene to be under his jurisdiction.
The people from the Xinhua Branch looked at Han Bin with much friendliness. Strictly speaking, Han Bin was one of them.
In fact, some of the people present had seen Han Bin before, but they weren't familiar with him, so they couldn't remember him.
