murder scene 2

Chapter 35 An Important Discovery

Long Jie came to the basement of the anatomy room again. It was the weekend, and Dabao went home to have dinner with his parents. This time, only Shanshan was with Long Jie.

The basement is about 26 square meters, with the corpse pool in the center. Against the wall of the basement is a set of operating tables with bottles and jars of various medicines and three faucets, high and low.There is a large bucket of formalin solution in the cabinet under the operating table.

Long Jie asked Shanshan: "How deep is this pool? How wide is it?"

Because of the weekend, Shanshan wore a small black dress, let her hair down, and wore a shiny headband. She was fresh, fashionable, and elegant, and she didn't look like a girl from a small town at all.

Shanshan said: "It's two and a half meters deep and four meters wide. Well, there are scales on the wall of the pool."

"Scale?"

Shanshan walked aside and pointed at the pool wall: "Look here."

Long Jie went over to look and saw a vague mark on the wall of the pool. On the top edge, there was a mark of 2.20 meters. Long Jie leaned over and looked at the current height of the solution: it was barely above 1.80 meters.

Long Jie's eyes suddenly lit up: "There are six corpses in the pool now, right?"

After this incident, Shanshan included body counting into her daily routine.She nodded: "Another one was delivered yesterday, and now there are exactly six!"

"Shanshan, I remember you said that it is your business to maintain the concentration of the formalin solution. How do you blend the concentration of the pool water?"

Shanshan pointed to the large buckets in the cupboard against the wall: "The original solution is there, and I blend it according to the height of the pool water. Once a new corpse comes, I add the formalin solution to restore the diluted concentration."

Long Jie asked: "Do you have a blending record?"

"Well, that's not the case, but I remember the blending last week. A total of three corpses came in, and I added formalin three times."

"Do you still remember the position of the scale when you added the original solution these three times?"

Shanshan was speechless again. How could she remember?She was in love while working, so she didn't even have time to pay attention to the number of corpses. She had already lost the details of the original liquid in Java.

Long Jie did not give up. He lay on the wall of the pool and observed the scales: "Well, why are these scales so blurry?"

"Can it be blurred after being soaked in formalin solution for many years?" Shanshan found an excuse: "I often can't see clearly myself, so I have to make an appointment and estimate it. After a while, I will report it to the department. Apply and make a new scale!”

Long Jie suddenly smiled: "As long as the traces of formalin soaking on the pool wall can be left, we have learned about volume and object volume experiments in junior high school."

Shanshan: "Ah? Test?"

Long Jie pointed to a mark: "The highest level of the pool water in the past few days is here, right? Well, let me see, it is 1.91 meters. Give me the weight of the corpses in the pool - I will look at this one. It’s on the registration form.”

Shanshan reported it to him immediately.

Long Jie carefully recorded several data, did some mental calculations, and asked Shanshan: "In the past eight days that you recorded, how many corpses were in the pool at the most?"

Shanshan: "Seven corpses were dissected on Tuesday, and one was dissected on Wednesday."

Long Jie nodded: "That's true!"

"what?"

Long Jie smiled: "This is a secret of our police and must not be leaked!"

Shanshan also smiled. She liked this policeman who was heroic and clear-faced: "I'm very tight-lipped. You can trust me completely! What conclusion did you draw from your volume test? I'm so curious!"

"It's nothing, we just solved a small technical problem!" Long Jie smiled but didn't answer.

He changed the topic: "Shanshan, this weekend, did I delay your business? Is Dabao waiting for you?"

Shanshan twitched her lips: "No, Dabao belongs to his family on weekends, and there's nothing wrong with me!"

Long Jie walked with her outside and chatted: "What? I see your relationship is so good. You are about to graduate from senior year. Don't your parents know yet?"

Shanshan lowered her head: "I know, his parents don't like me."

Long Jie stopped and said, "Hey, that's strange. A cute little girl like you doesn't like it. Why are they so demanding? Are Dabao's parents a famous family or high-ranking officials?"

Shanshan sighed: "They are just a couple of retired workers, and they have a two-bedroom house for the husband. You also know that people in S City are very prejudiced against outsiders, especially at their age... They seem to think that if the future son The daughter-in-law is a foreigner, so they don’t have the face to meet her!”

Long Jie laughed horrifiedly: "No way? How old is this? What's more, you are a college student at a famous university and a future female surgeon. If you ask me, no one else can ask for such a capable daughter-in-law!"

Shanshan's eyes were red: "I don't know what they think. They just think that even a local girl buying vegetables at the wet market is more appropriate than a top student from outside..."

"What did Dabao say?"

Shanshan felt that this policeman with thick eyebrows and big eyes was as friendly as the big brother next door, and she was happy to tell him her concerns: "Dabao is very good to me. He is an honest child. He always listens to his parents and does everything for me." I also had two quarrels with them... He said that I shouldn't be impatient for now. After we graduate, his parents will definitely be able to accept me if they see that my registered permanent residence is in S city and I have a decent job!"

They walked outside the experimental building and kicked the stones on the roadside: "Actually, it doesn't matter whether they accept it or not. We are all adults and can be responsible for our own choices and decisions. We have this right." ...Officer Long, do you think so?"

Long Jie smiled and nodded: "That's right!"

Long Jie walked from the school's experimental building to the teaching building. He met Qingyang and Niu Niu coming out of it. Qingyang saw him: "Team Dragon! Have you finished your work?"

Long Jie: "Well, have you talked to Huang Mingxin?"

"Yes, she provided us with a lot of information."

"Okay, let's immediately hold a case analysis meeting for the task force when we return to the bureau. I also have an important discovery to explain to everyone!"

Niu Niu couldn't help but ask: "What major discovery?"

"It's about that ridiculous thing we said yesterday!"
