    Our story begins with the well-known floating corpse case in Yunxi City in 1996.

    I remember it was an early morning in November. The cold autumn wind blew through the trembling trees. The withered yellow leaves followed the tail of the autumn wind, sometimes circling and sometimes dissipating.  At the back door of the Yunxi City Public Security Bureau building, there lies a winding concrete path.  At the end of the road is a blue and white two-story building, with wrinkled walls recording the traces of time.  Under the first ray of sunshine in the morning, the large gold-plated characters "Yunxi City Public Security Bureau Criminal Technology Section" looked particularly dazzling.

    Unlike the cold and depressing scenery outside, the warm atmosphere inside the building cannot dissipate for a long time.  At this time, Si Hongzhang, the leader in criminal investigation technology in Baynan Province, was studying a series of seemingly irregular blood footprints in the laboratory with the first batch of three college students who came to intern.

    Suddenly, a public security policeman with a bar and two stars on his shoulders pushed open the wooden door of the laboratory in a panic.

    With a bang, the wooden door hit the wall hard, and a small piece of lime wall fell down.

    Si Hongzhang quickly stood up and asked, "Xiao Huang, what happened?"

    "Chief of the Department, it's bad, two floating corpses were found in the Sishui River. Please go and have a look."

    It is a time of severe crackdown. It can be said that ordinary theft cases can be investigated as major cases, not to mention that two lives are involved. No wonder Officer Huang who came to deliver the message was so nervous.

    Hearing this, Si Hongzhang frowned and said, "Don't be nervous. It might be drowning. I'll go take a look before talking about it."

    The crime scene is located at an abandoned civilian dock by the Sishui River. The entire scene has been cordoned off by police from the local police station. In order to prevent the body from drifting downstream again, nets were temporarily blocked around the body.

    As soon as Si Hongzhang got out of the car, an old policeman in his 50s ran over, holding his hat.

    "Chief, you are finally here."

    "Director Zhao, what's going on?"

    "We received a report at seven o'clock in the morning from a nearby villager. He picked up mussels along the river in the morning and found two bodies floating in the river. The villager was frightened and ran to our police station on his bicycle.  He called the police and we followed him for a long time before we found these two bodies." Director Zhao said while gesturing.

    ¡°Has our city received any reports of missing persons in recent times?¡± Si Hongzhang asked with a frown.

    "I asked the comrades at the 110 command center to check this, and there was no similar report."

    "It is very likely that it floated down from the upper reaches. There are only three cities in the upper reaches of the Sishui River here. You can go back and contact the public security bureaus of these three places to see if they have received reports of missing persons."  Hongzhang pinched his chin and said.

    "Okay, Section Chief, I'll contact you right away." Director Zhao nodded and answered while recording.

    ¡°Ask your men to evacuate the surrounding onlookers, and let¡¯s go and see the body.¡± After speaking, Si Hongzhang picked up the toolbox beside him and walked towards the dock with his students.

    The pier where the floating corpse was found was used to cross the river and board ships in the early years. It is said to be a pier, but it is actually four logs under a wooden board.  At this time, the two corpses were floating quietly in the water, one with his back facing upwards and the other with his head downwards. The corpses had a giant look, and their facial features could not be seen clearly. There were a large amount of dark green algae attached to the clothes of the deceased.  Even the clothes are indistinguishable.

    "The deceased are a man and a woman. They have been dead for a long time."

    It was not Si Hongzhang who spoke, but his student Leng Qiming.  Leng Qiming, 26 years old, majored in forensic medicine in college. He is 1.75 meters tall, unsmiling, and exudes a calmness that belies his age. He is also Si Hongzhang's most proud disciple.

    After listening to what Leng Qiming said, Si Hongzhang turned around and asked in surprise: "How did you know? The corpse's face was swollen, and one corpse's head was still buried in the water. You can tell the difference just by looking at it.  come out?"

    "Teacher, can't you see?" Leng Qiming asked with a raised eyebrow.

    "You're a very thoughtful kid. Okay, I admit it. I know the reason behind it, but I want it to come out of your mouth." Si Hongzhang has been engaged in criminal technology for 15 years. This still doesn't trouble him, but  A fledgling college student could see the reason at a glance, which surprised him.

    Leng Qiming cleared his throat, turned his head and glanced at the two corpses in the water and said:

    "After a person dies, he is thrown into the water. Since the density of the human body is approximately equal to that of water, the corpse sinks to the bottom first. As the corpse graduallyAfter a few days, the unit will definitely notice.  However, it has been so long since the case, and we have not found a relevant report. Considering their ages, it is very likely that the two of them have left their jobs or retired.  According to the legal retirement age in our country, the male is 60 years old and the female is 50 years old. In this way, the age bottom line of the two deceased persons can basically be determined.  "

    "You still wear a uniform after retirement?" Leng Qiming asked puzzledly.

    Si Hongzhang returned to his seat and continued: "The age of the deceased was similar to that of my father's generation. You asking this question shows that you do not understand the thoughts of the generation born in the 1940s and 1950s, and their deep love for uniforms.  Far beyond your imagination, in many communities in our city, there are now many elderly people over 70 who wear military uniforms all day long. Therefore, it is not surprising that the two deceased people still wore uniforms after retirement, especially when attending dinner parties.  For a grand occasion, the probability of wearing a uniform will be greater."

    After hearing this, the three of them all nodded in agreement.

    Si Hongzhang sat on the chair, leaned back and said:

    "Based on the above, my conclusion is: the two deceased people were from Nanyang City, possibly husband and wife, working in the same government unit, and retired. We just need to screen out those who meet the requirements and call one by one to ask if there is any  If the couple cannot be contacted, then they are most likely killed. Combined with the fingerprints, clothing, watches and other information we extracted from the corpse, we can basically determine the source of the corpse. After this is determined, we will focus on checking the last two  Who was the person eating with the deceased? This person may be the suspect. But this is only a more practical clue to solve the case if the reasoning is completely reasonable. Of course, there will be many unexpected situations. The specific situation  It also needs to be treated in detail. Solving a case is actually a process of constant hypothesis and verification."

    Si Hongzhang finished speaking in one breath and looked at the three young men. They were all dumbfounded.

    Based on the general clues provided by Si Hongzhang, the criminal police team took only two days to arrest the suspect Xu Dazhu.  According to his explanation, the two deceased were staff members of the Nanyang Industrial and Commercial Bureau and were a couple.  The two parties had been feuding for several years over the issue of licenses. Xu Dazhu saw the opportunity when their children were away and retired at home, so he invited the two to dinner on the pretext of reconciliation. During the meal, he poisoned them, killed them, and threw their bodies into the river.  The floating corpse case that shocked several cities came to an end.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
