Chapter 17

"What? What did you say? This time it's really a corpse? Damn it... can you let me rest and recover properly? If you keep playing like this, aren't you afraid that if you get me killed, there won't be anyone left to arrange your work?"

"I give up, I'm coming over right now!"

At the construction site, the stench of the corpse drifted further and further away with the breeze.

The workers closest to it bore the brunt of it.

"Holy crap! What is that smell? It's so overpowering!"

"It smells like stinky socks, so gross!"

"Damn it, I'm gonna puke. I can't take it. I'll work later, I need to go vomit for a bit."

"Which bastard is eating canned surströmming? Can't they hide at home and close the doors and windows to eat it?"

In reality, they didn't know that Fang Yang and the cameraman were the most miserable ones.

They were the closest to the corpse, and no matter what they did, they could smell that foul stench.

The main thing was that they couldn't leave and could only wait here.

For them, every second was torture.

Another twenty minutes passed.

The two police cars from before entered the construction site again and drove straight toward them.

The moment Captain Wang stepped out of the car, his expression suddenly changed drastically.

"With this smell, it looks like a real homicide has occurred!"

(Seeking data!).

14. Fang Yang can also perform an autopsy? Must have learned it at a sports school!

Having been a police officer for over a decade, Captain Wang had an unusual alertness to the smell of rotting corpses.

While others only smelled a stench, his first reaction was that it was a human corpse.

Captain Wang jogged all the way to the dirt pit, and the first thing he saw was the python that had died on the excavator.

At the same time, he also saw the rotting corpse on the ground.

As a veteran officer, even he couldn't help but furrow his brows tightly from the stench.

The few young police officers behind him vomited on the spot.

*Ugh~~*

The sounds of retching rose one after another; they wished they could vomit up everything they had eaten that morning.

Captain Wang turned his head and said sternly: "What kind of behavior is this? Calm down. Xiao Li, call the forensic team immediately and notify them to come for an autopsy."

"Understood, Captain Wang!"

He then turned to look at Fang Yang: "Young man, did you dig up this corpse? Can you tell me about the situation at the time?"

Fang Yang nodded, his expression also a bit tense: "Just now, when I was digging, I accidentally cut a python in half. Out of curiosity, I kept digging, and then hundreds of various snakes slithered out of the pit. Then, as I kept digging, the corpse appeared!"

*Ugh~~*

After hearing Fang Yang's words, the nearby officers' expressions changed drastically, and they completely lost their composure, vomiting wildly.

Seeing the corpse was already disgusting enough.

Thinking about the corpse being eaten by snakes, as fellow humans, their psychological defenses were completely shattered.

Captain Wang nodded thoughtfully.

He then jumped down to the corpse, endured the stench, and picked up a tree branch to clear away the dirt around the body.

After being exposed to the smell for half an hour, Fang Yang had developed a much stronger psychological tolerance.

He couldn't help but curiously lean in to take a look.

Up until now, he hadn't taken a close look at the corpse.

The moment he reached the edge of the pit and looked at the corpse.

The system suddenly popped up a window.

【Deceased: Wan Qianqian】

【Age: 27 years old】

【Occupation: Sex worker】

【Time of death: 10 days】

【Cause of death: Blunt force trauma to the back of the skull】

Fang Yang's expression shifted; he didn't expect the system to be able to directly provide the deceased's information.

According to the system's prompt, it was clearly a homicide case.

There was one detail that made him feel a bit uncomfortable.

That was the time of death.

It had only been ten days, and it had turned into this state; just thinking about it felt tragic.

However, thinking about it carefully, he could roughly guess the reason.

Looking at Captain Wang, who was furrowing his brows in the pit, Fang Yang wanted to provide him with some useful information.

But he definitely couldn't talk about having a system.

He pretended to ask unconsciously: "Officer, dying in the wilderness like this, it shouldn't be a burial, right? Could it be a case of murder and body disposal?"

Captain Wang looked up at Fang Yang, his expression surprised.

He didn't expect that in such a situation, an excavator operator would have stronger psychological fortitude than the officers he brought with him.

One had to know that these people had seen real corpses before.

Their psychological resilience was much stronger than the average person's.

Yet Fang Yang looked to be in his early twenties and could get so close to the corpse and chat with him calmly.

He believed that if it were him, even ten years ago, he wouldn't have been able to do this.

Unknowingly, he developed a bit of a good impression.

His originally stern expression relaxed slightly.

"It's hard to draw a conclusion now. Everything will have to wait for the forensic autopsy and further investigation, but for now, it's highly likely to be murder and body disposal."

"Why is that?"

Captain Wang paused and said: "Judging by the fabric, although it's shattered, a careful observation shows it's the kind of gauze dress a young woman would wear. Not to mention that the country has abolished burials, who would be buried wearing clothes like this?"

Fang Yang had to admire the police officer's seasoned experience; although most people would see it as a homicide at a glance.

But being able to analyze the reason in such a short time required experience beyond the average person.

Just like those young officers, they still hadn't recovered, let alone investigated the case.

【Popularity】 +1+1+1+1....

【Popularity】 +1+1+1+1....

——【I can see the cameraman's resistance from the screen. How scared is this guy? He's hiding in the back, forcing me to turn up the volume just to hear the streamer's voice.】

——【According to this, the deceased should be a woman, right? Could it be a cross-dresser?】

——【So painful, I'm both scared and can't help but want to watch. One hand covering my eyes, one eye squinting to peek.】

——【This is a crime scene! It's rare to see one in a lifetime. What exactly is No. 26 here for? He causes such a big stir every day.】

——【I really admire him for daring to get so close to the corpse. I can't even stand watching the video on my computer now. I don't know how he keeps going.】

——【There is only one truth. I've been a professional detective for 20 years. Based on my survey of the scene, this should be a crime of passion, likely an extramarital affair leading to a love-related murder!】

Captain Wang looked at Fang Yang's expression and smiled involuntarily: "Young man, I'm curious, why is it that everyone else is hiding far away, but you aren't afraid?"

Fang Yang smiled awkwardly: "Uh... you might not believe it if I told you, but I've actually studied forensics too."

"Really? You look like you're only in your early twenties!"

"Can I get closer to look at the corpse? Just to verify the knowledge I've learned."

Captain Wang nodded: "Since you've studied forensics, you can naturally come and take a look, but just don't touch the corpse, so it doesn't interfere with the autopsy when the forensic team arrives."

"Alright, thank you, Captain Wang."

Fang Yang jumped directly into the dirt pit and carefully observed the corpse.

Although part of the flesh and hair on the skull hadn't completely disappeared. ===== CHAPTER 18 =====
