Chapter 721: Gathering

A water column as thick as four bodies tied together rose high, rushing out of the dam.

Tao Lu stood on the shore of the small reservoir with a cold face, looking at the blue reservoir surface, silent.

The reason for finding this reservoir is simple. The management rights of the reservoir belong to the Left Protector of the illegal organization. In fact, when they built the first residence, they relied on the strong support of this Left Protector and many subordinates.

And in the screening process, people who know about this situation naturally will not take the initiative to explain. This is also a problem often encountered in screening. The depth of screening is limited. You can only know what your preset questions are. If you want to expand, especially if you want to expand the autonomy of the screening personnel, you have to reduce the intensity of the screening.

Therefore, big shots like Xu Taining will optimize the preset questions, and even optimize the screening intensity in different areas—even so, screening is still just screening, not a truth serum, and it is difficult to get answers to questions that have not been anticipated before.

The water level of the reservoir gradually dropped, revealing construction waste and other items at the bottom.

The criminal police in uniform held a camera, squatted on a small tricycle, and started shooting at the bottom of the water.

Several corners of the reservoir were arranged with people, but it was impossible to cover all places, so the small tricycle had to run back and forth.

Because if there is more than one body at the bottom, they are likely not to gather together.

"There is a box here!" Someone shouted, and the electric tricycle closest to him drove over immediately.

The criminal police standing on the tricycle stood steadily in a horse stance, looking like they had practiced.

But looking at the cautious appearance of the police officer driving the tricycle, Jiang Yuan suddenly understood the appearance conditions of the sidecar motorcycle.

In the early years, when the road conditions in various places were very poor, the sidecar motorcycle was really a good thing.

"Is it a box for bodies?" Jiang Yuan arrived at the scene, and a police officer asked him.

Jiang Yuan leaned over and took a look. The water had been drained quite a bit, but the distance was still very far, so he could only smile and shake his head, saying: "Can't see clearly, I'll go down and see in a while."

There is still a lot of water and silt at the bottom of the reservoir. Now it can only be drained by a water pump.

More than a dozen water pumps roared together, the noise was huge, and the efficiency was not high. But in any case, this is much cheaper than looking for water ghosts, and the most important thing is to facilitate the work of forensic doctors. If the water ghosts were to lift the remains up, not to mention whether they were lifted completely, the environment of the body dumping could be considered destroyed.

Pumping water is the best, but if it is a general case, there are not enough dead people, or the water area is too large, it can only be salvaged.

Soon, the water on the shore receded. Two forensic doctors were hung down with ropes, wearing leather pants, and one foot sank to the buttocks.

The two helped each other to pull their legs, moved to the nearest leather box, looked at it, and shouted back: "It's a body!"

There was a little joy in the tone. This might be quite uncomfortable for outsiders to hear, but for these two young forensic doctors at the bottom of the food chain, having climbed over from the silt with great difficulty, being able to see the results was generally a bit happy.

Tao Lu's expression was not so good. Confirming it was a body, he breathed a heavy sigh: "These people are really ruthless."

Now that the criminals have been brought to justice, the murderers are likely to be sentenced to death. The extra bodies are really just extra, which only makes people feel regretful.

Even after being a criminal police officer for so many years, the number of bodies in this case still made Tao Lu shudder.

"I'm going down." Jiang Yuan also put on a full-body leather suit, tightened his belt, put the seat belt on his body, and followed Zhan Kan down to the reservoir.

Mu Zhiyang watched from above, looking nervous.

Below the reservoir, the rotten mud accumulated for many years sank as soon as it was stepped on, and the box containing the bodies was also buried in the middle of the silt by one-third.

Jiang Yuan struggled to get to the place, first observed the surface of the box, and saw that several large holes had been poked in the black suitcase with a knife. Looking inside through the holes, he could see bones and rotten mud, as well as a ball of plastic.

Zhan Kan understood immediately next to him and said: "They poked holes in the box, so the box didn't float up?"

"En, there might still be counterweights inside. Like the dumbbells in the Zhang Lizhen case." Jiang Yuan looked at the surface, confirmed that it was photographed, checked the outside part, then pulled over a plastic basket with a rope, four people lifted the suitcase into it with force, and naturally someone pulled the rope to pull it to the side of the reservoir, and then lifted it up.

The whole process is complicated, in order to maintain the original state to the greatest extent, and the elevators and other things set up on the side of the reservoir still represent the high budget.

Moving bodies from the reservoir can be compared to moving to a high-rise without an elevator.

One suitcase hasn't been processed yet, and another suitcase appeared in front.

Jiang Yuan and others continued to dig forward, and soon pulled it over. No surprise, there was still a body inside.

"Looks like it has been dismembered." Jiang Yuan looked inside from a larger hole and was not surprised.

The suitcase is small, so dismemberment is better to pack.

Jiang Yuan dragged the bodies out of the drained reservoir step by step and transported them away.

A total of 6, not surprising at all.

The total number of bodies involved in the case reached 26.

Considering that the total number of Huang Jianzun and his believers is only 40-plus, these 26 bodies can be said to be frantic.

"All suitcases have holes poked, Zhang Lizhen's suitcase does not." Jiang Yuan climbed up the reservoir, and the first sentence to Tao Lu was to point out the problem.

Tao Lu subconsciously trembled, and then hurriedly said: "In Zhang Lizhen's case, someone has already confessed. It was when the body was abandoned, the suitcase slipped, the body fell into the river and was washed away directly. Huang Jianzun was very angry after knowing this, and finally decided to move..."

Jiang Yuan was stunned for a moment, then nodded slowly: "It can be explained, it's just too coincidental."

"Seven bodies were lost, and only one was a mistake. There were two people at the scene, plus the matter of moving, many people knew the cause, it should be no problem..." Tao Lu explained by the way: "They all poked the box after arriving at the reservoir to prevent the things inside from flowing out and dirtying the vehicle."

"Understood." Jiang Yuan recalled the autopsy process of Zhang Lizhen's body, nodded, and said: "I'm going to the autopsy center."

He was also exhausted today, and after discovering so many bodies in one breath, he didn't want to talk.

Tao Lu nodded: "Thank you for your hard work."

He basically had no requirements for this round of autopsy. Although it is said that the cause of death still needs to be determined, and it is better to have a time of death, Huang Jianzun and others are dismantling each other. From the perspective of the police, most of the criminal investigation work has been completed.

Theoretically, as long as you make the prosecution satisfied and don't return for supplementary investigation, it is considered to have completed the task.

However, Jiang Yuan still carefully autopsied the bodies one by one.

The next day, Jiang Yuan even pulled out the previous bodies and re-examined them.

Zeng Lianrong was quite moved by this, especially after reading Jiang Yuan's report, he was very emotional, grabbing a group of young forensic doctors and educating them for a long time: look at others, why is the technology growing so fast? Every body is very important. No matter how the case is going, doing every body well is the most basic...

Jiang Yuan couldn't take care of the situation outside.

The case ended, and the previous bodies also began to spit out blue balls.

Zhang Lizhen's legacy—Guitar (LV2): Zhang Lizhen's family conditions were not good, but she loved music and was very willing to spend time learning musical instruments, but she did not have the opportunity and foundation to study in a professional class. The men who were willing to teach her guitar were far more interested in her body than her talent. Huang Jianzun was one of the few men who could make her feel respected and equal. He never persuaded Zhang Lizhen to change her profession. When he spent money to sleep with her, he was always hardworking and enjoyable, and would pay Zhang Lizhen extra tips from time to time. His attitude of speaking with money was much more sincere than those prostitutes who were full of morality. If she hadn't signed a long-term contract with a ghost, and went to Huang Jianzun's house, Zhang Lizhen should have saved enough money to learn the piano.
