They started searching.

Captain Ke suddenly screamed, pointed at the stream and said, "Look at this!"

Everyone looked around and saw a dark shadow under the thick ice.

Just now everyone thought it was just a rock under the frozen water, but Capt. Ke just hit it with a wooden stick a few times and broke a small piece open, revealing a piece of clothing underneath.

It turns out there is actually a person down there.

This is strange, how did this person get under the ice?

Qiu Wuhen came over to inspect the scene. The creek was three or four steps wide. The water surface was not very fast and the volume of water was not large. However, a pool was formed at this location. The water was quite deep, probably up to the waist.

Could it be that he wanted to drink water from the river, but accidentally fell into the water and died here?

When Qiu Wuhen woke up in the morning, he found that the snow had stopped. As for when it stopped, he was not very clear. He immediately turned to the others and asked, "Do you know when the snow stopped last night?"

Everyone looked at each other, and two parents said: "It should have stopped snowing at midnight. I didn't sleep all night last night and was waiting for my children to come back, so when it stopped snowing, I knew it would be close to

It’s the fourth update day, but the fourth update hasn’t happened yet. It should be around the time when the third update is approaching the fourth update.”

Several other parents also nodded in approval. In fact, they stayed up all night waiting for their children.

This makes sense. The snow stopped at midnight last night. The child ran out and followed a series of footprints to the stream to drink water. As a result, he fell down in the stream and was drowned. Because

It was very cold in the second half of the night and the water surface froze, freezing him under the ice.

Qiu Wuhen was quite satisfied with his current speculation. He felt that this could reasonably explain why this man appeared under the ice but the ice did not break.

Qiu Wuhen asked the police to break the surface ice and drag out the body.

The body was floating on the water with its back, and the face could not be seen. When the body was dragged up and turned over, a parent immediately burst into tears. It turned out to be the son of the leader named Fatty, who organized everyone to go on the trip.

Unexpectedly, he died alone in the water by the river.

The parents wanted to come over, but he was quickly stopped. They advised him not to get close first, and now they want to find out whether it was homicide? The parents cried and agreed.

Qiu Wuhen stepped forward to check. After just one glance, he came to a preliminary conclusion that the deceased should have entered the water and drowned before death. Because there were a large number of thin bubbles around the mouth of the deceased, which looked like bubbles spit out by crabs.

.

This is a common symptom of drowning. After choking, water enters the airway and mixes violently with the air in the lungs to turn into very fine foam, which will emerge from the mouth after leaving the water.

The appearance of such bubbles proves that the deceased drowned before death. Because the lungs did not breathe after entering the water after death, there is no strong stirring effect and such extremely fine water bubbles cannot be formed.

Qiu Wuhen examined the body surface of the deceased.

The deceased had multiple wounds on his back and his clothes were torn, but the wounds were not large. There were also two wounds on his buttocks and several cuts on his arms. All the wounds were obviously sharp injuries.

Because he was wearing black clothes and was soaked in water, he couldn't see it for a while, but after taking off his clothes, he found that many wounds had reached deep into his skin.

Qiu Wuhen carefully checked the wounds on various parts of his body, there were nearly twenty, but all the wounds were only superficial wounds, reaching the muscle layer at most, and did not penetrate the chest or abdominal cavity. In other words, these wounds were not fatal.

hurt.

Who slashed him with a murder weapon, causing wounds all over his body?

There were no blood stains left on the snow. Maybe the wound stopped bleeding when he left the place where he was injured. It was a superficial wound after all. It may also be because he was wearing several layers of clothes and the amount of bleeding was not large.

package so that it cannot flow out.

Qiu Wuhen extracted the fingerprints from the fat man's hands, pressed his hands on his wounds, and touched the blood inside the wounds, thus obtaining the DNA analysis results of the deceased.

Qiu Wuhen said to the family of the deceased: "The cause of death of the deceased should be drowning, but the final cause still requires an autopsy as before to draw a final conclusion. If you are willing to do an autopsy, I will do it after finding other people.

Autopsy to find out the real cause of death."

The fat man's father suddenly said: "My son has so many injuries on his body. Was he killed by someone?"

"None of these injuries hurt the vitals, and they didn't hurt the major blood vessels, so the blood flow was not too much, so I still tend to drown to death. But is this the real cause of death? I just said

, it may be necessary to conduct an autopsy before we can draw a final conclusion.”

The fat man's father shook his head and said: "No, I can't disembowel him after he dies. Since he drowned, so be it. You go find other people first. Then find the murderer and find out who killed me."

My son was stabbed like this?"

The other parents were already extremely anxious, but now that they saw the two children in front, one had been hanged and the other had nearly twenty stab wounds, something terrible must have happened. Even if they wanted to search, they would not dare to go there themselves.

I'm afraid I'll meet that terrible murderer.

After Qiu Wuhen and the others' preliminary test results came out, they continued to search along the footprints in the snow.

The footprints gradually snaked upwards, coming down from the mountain. It seemed that the fat man ran down the mountain after being injured.

Not long after walking, they saw blood stains in the snow, but not much, just dots and dots, and the blood became more and more as they went back. It can be seen that the blood stains were not absent, but they just disappeared in the later section.

Searching along the blood drops and footprints, several detectives carefully drew out their knives to guard against danger at any time.

The parents continued to call loudly, but no one responded.

They came to the foot of a mountain rock and were suddenly stunned by the mirror they saw.

I saw a child huddled under a rock. His head was covered with blood. The white snow on the ground was soaked. His whole body was frozen and his blood had solidified.

One parent burst into tears. This was his child. The two brothers came together. The one who died was his brother Zhang Dalang.

They soon found their younger brother Zhang Erlang beside the rocks on the other side.

Zhang Erlang was lying on the ground with his arms and legs stretched out. His head was covered in blood and his skull was shattered. It was obvious that someone had smashed his head with a blunt instrument such as a stone.

No other missing persons were found around, and police officers were on alert everywhere.

Qiu Wuhen began to investigate the scene, first to find out the cause of death of these two people.

He first investigated Zhang Erlang.

Zhang Erlang was holding a sharp knife in his hand. Seeing the blood stains on the sharp knife, Qiu Wuhen immediately thought of the injuries on the fat man's body. Was he stabbed by the knife in this guy's hand?

He immediately took off the knife carefully, touched the blood on the tip of the knife with his hand, and the DNA analysis results immediately appeared in his mind.

After comparison, the blood on the tip of the knife was indeed the same as the fat man's DNA typing result. In other words, the blood on the tip of the knife belonged to the fat man, but the blood on the blade was not, and was different from the fat man's.

Are there two people's fingerprints on this knife?

Who is the other person?

Qiu Wuhen examined the injuries on Zhang Erlang's head and found that there were at least two obvious depressed fractures on the head. The force was so great that the brain matter burst out. Judging from the reaction at the edge of the wound, it was an injury before death.

He examined the body surface of the deceased and found no other suspicious marks on the body surface.

He then came to Zhang Dalang, who was curled up dead under the cliff, and first inspected the body surface.
