The rapid ringtone of the cell phone woke Xia Lan from her deep sleep. She opened her eyes suddenly and looked for the sound and picked up her cell phone. The time was seven o'clock in the morning, and the caller was Zhang Yao.

"Team Xia, a floating corpse was found in Mengshan Hongwei Reservoir."

"I'll be there right away."

The brief conversation made Xia Lan wake up completely, and she realized that she was not at home. She was lying on the sofa of Sun Yu's company, covered with a summer quilt.

The door of Sun Yu's office opened. The sleepy Sun Yu yawned and placed a set of disposable toothbrushes and towels on the tea table next to the sofa.

"I was thinking about asking your police force for salary. Ergou, this kid, didn't notify you immediately when there was a case, but told me first."

Xia Lan rubbed her eyes, looked at Sun Yu's fluffy hair and smiled, "I can't help it, who made you the detective of our Mengshan City?"

Beside Mengshan Hongwei Reservoir, Xia Lan and Sun Yu got out of the car. Everyone was busy, and no one noticed that Sun Yu came in Xia Lan's car.

The body has been recovered, and Yu Jing and her men are doing a preliminary autopsy.

Seeing Xia Lan and Sun Yu coming over, Zhang Yao immediately went over to report the situation, "The body was found in the morning by someone who was fishing here last night. He fell asleep at three o'clock in the morning. It was too dark at that time, so no abnormalities were found at that time.

"

The Hongwei Reservoir has a certain slope, and the body was found at a low level. Xia Lan looked up and looked at the high area. Zhang Yao immediately said: "Team Lei took people upstream. Just now, Sister Jing said that she died of mechanical asphyxia. It can be seen that

The murderer dumped the body after killing someone."

Sun Yu's eyes remained on the corpse.

Female, aged between 30 and 40 years old, wearing sportswear, black tight shorts, white tight vest, and running shoes. She wore makeup on her face, but it did not fade much after soaking in water. The price of this kind of waterproof cosmetics is relatively

expensive.

The brand of clothes is also acceptable, which shows that the family conditions are good.

Yu Jing's preliminary autopsy concluded, "There were pinch marks on the neck, mechanical suffocation. He should have been strangled to death and thrown into the water after death. I checked the body's hands and feet, and there were no signs of being tied and controlled. In

Some skin scrapings were found between the deceased’s fingernails, which may have been caused by the deceased grabbing the murderer’s arm when he was pinched. Other than that, there were no defensive wounds.”

Xia Lan nodded and said: "It seems that the deceased and the murderer knew each other. The deceased came here voluntarily. The murderer suddenly strangled the deceased. The deceased caught the murderer during the resistance."

"Based on the current situation, this may be the case. I can't give you a definite answer until the autopsy report comes out." After saying that, Yu Jing looked at Xia Lan and then at Sun Yu with interest, and a bright smile flashed across the corner of her mouth.

smile.

After a while, Lei Zhen led a group of people from a distance.

After saying hello to Xia Lan and handing Sun Yu a cigarette, Lei Zhen took two puffs and said, "No traces of dragging were found on the shore upstream. There were too many footprints and no valuable ones were found."

After taking two more puffs, Lei Zhen looked at Sun Yu, "Now it seems that the murderer carried the deceased to the shore and threw her into the water. Where do you think the first crime scene will be?"

Everyone looked at Sun Yu.

Sun Yu pointed at the corpse, "Her dress is a bit weird, I haven't figured it out yet."

Zhang Yao was puzzled: "What's so weird? Her shorts, vest and running shoes are obviously equipment for night running. It can be seen that the deceased went out for a night run. There is no way she would come to a place like this for a run in the middle of the night, right?"

Xia Lan frowned and said slowly: "Theoretically, this is indeed the case. The places where people run at night are usually around their homes. In that kind of place, would the murderer directly kill people and then go to all the trouble to dump the body here?"

Lei Zhen interrupted the argument between the two and looked at Sun Yu again, "This is just a problem at the scene of the first crime. Is there anything weird about it?"

"She's wearing makeup." Sun Yu only said four words, and the faces of everyone present gradually changed.

The woman's makeup is very delicate. If she was just going out for a night run, she wouldn't have put so much thought into it. It was like she was going to meet someone, but if she was going to meet someone, why was she wearing sportswear?

"Call the police dog! I feel that the scene of the first crime is nearby." Sun Yu said again.

······

Inside the main office of the Criminal Police Team of the Mengshan City Public Security Bureau.

The photo on the whiteboard was changed to one related to floating corpses in the reservoir. No one knows how many relationship diagrams of cases have been recorded on this whiteboard. They only know that new relationship diagrams will appear all the time.

"The deceased, Li Manyu, female, 40 years old, lives in Yunmeng Community, No. 28 Tawan Road, Old City. It is a community prepared for demolition households, and she has a lot of savings. She is married, and her husband is Guo Shutian, who is also the second generation of demolition.

A small hotel has opened next to Yunmeng Community."

"Guo Shutian usually likes to play mahjong, and basically plays with friends in the hotel until late at night every day. However, the relationship between the couple is pretty good, and I haven't heard of any disputes or quarrels."

"There are two sons at home. He is 18 years old. He was playing games with his classmates last night and didn't notice when Li Manyu left."

After Zhang Yao introduced the basic situation, Yu Jing began to take over.

"It is determined that the deceased was not tied up and controlled, and there are no drugs in his body. The situation is probably similar to what you speculated at the scene. The skin shavings in the nails of the deceased have been tested. He is male, and no match was found in the DNA library."

Fu Ming pointed to the photo on the whiteboard, "With the assistance of police dogs, we found a place with traces of struggle in the woods 500 meters upstream of the reservoir. We collected the hair and compared it with Sister Jing's.

, belongs to the deceased and the murderer. This should be the scene of the first crime."

"Surveillance showed that Li Manyu left the community at nine o'clock in the evening. There was no one around at that time. After leaving the community, she called a taxi and had contacted the driver. Her destination was near the crime scene. The Mengshan area belongs to

It's in the suburbs and there's no surveillance along the road, so there's no way to check for passing vehicles."

Jiang Xiaoyu continued: "I checked some of Li Manyu's commonly used social media accounts and found no problematic chat content. Are today's murderers so cautious when committing crimes?"

The latter sentence was a complaint, but it made Xia Lan feel a little embarrassed. The previous tragedy of annihilation went extremely smoothly, and she was sure of it through Bao Youliang and Sun Yu.

Not all cases are as complicated as the cases she encountered before, and the murderers are meticulously prepared. Most of them are passion killings, and the murderer can be easily caught as long as good evidence is collected.

And this time, it is like this again, there is no effective monitoring, and there is no effective social account chat content.

She glanced at Sun Yu, who was looking at her maliciously.

It seems to be saying, Conan, it’s you again!
