Chapter 333
"The conclusion I can draw is that this corpse has been soaked in the lake water for quite a long time. Judging from the degree of decay, it is no less than 24 hours. As for the vines and other strange things in his body, it is very strange. Sorry, if you want to get detailed results in a short period of time, you can't rely on the equipment in Hesai Town to do this."

The disgusting corpse was right next to him. While the forensic doctor was talking, he couldn't help but glance at the excited man next to him.

"Look at me, I haven't finished lunch, so I can't investigate on an empty stomach."

Zhu Jue found an empty mortuary bed next to him, sat on it, ignored the surrounding atmosphere, and sucked the bone marrow of the ribs by himself.

"only these?"

Olivia was counting on this corpse to point them in the direction of the investigation, and they came to the conclusion that he had been soaked in water for more than 24 hours.
This news does not mean anything except that the painter died a day ago.

"Yes, all I can provide is this information. The two officers may be able to contact agencies in nearby cities and ask them to help with analysis."

For a forensic doctor in an ordinary police station, he has seen many corpses, but this kind of corpse obviously cannot be analyzed with his normal knowledge, and many things are unexplainable.

To put it bluntly, this "question" is beyond the outline.

"Why are we looking for you if we have so much time?"

Zhu Jue walked to the side of the painter and looked at this strange corpse. It may be due to long-term soaking or other reasons. Even the cause of death is difficult to find out.

"I think the matter has developed to this point. It is better to stop here. The painter is a murderer. He killed the victim by some means and painted his appearance before death. Then there may be mental problems. I think the two should I have also heard that some murderers will suffer from great mental pressure after committing a crime. Obviously, this artist cannot bear the pressure, so he chooses to commit suicide by throwing himself into the lake. Afterwards, some plants in the lake may be regarded as Something like rotten wood, that's why it became what it is now."

At the door of the morgue, a middle-aged man covered his mouth with a silk handkerchief. He probably couldn't bear the smell in the room, and said in a hoarse voice.

The mayor of Hesai Town did not leave because of the arrival of Zhu Jue and Olivia. On the contrary, he stayed and tried to persuade them to end this investigation.

"Mr. Mayor, it is not a good habit to deceive the people, we."

Of course, it was impossible for Olivia to just end this investigation, and she wanted to refute immediately.

"I think what the mayor said is right. Now that the murderer has been caught, why do we stay here? It's just two people who died. We have more important things to do, don't we?"

Interrupting Olivia's words, Zhu kicked the side of her foot without notice, and continued when the former looked over,

"Isn't it a good thing that the matter in Hesai Town has come to an end? The Archaeological Association has recently invested so much in Yecheng, and it's time for human help. Only two people died here, and nearly [-] people died in Yecheng. Which one do you think is more important? a little?"

"No, I have to finish the things here!"

"Miss Olivia, you can stay if you want, but you should understand that I am a consultant, and this time the incident is that you match my actions. I will go first, and the notice from the Archaeological Association may be sent to you in 5 minutes. "

Zhu Jue's response was straightforward. He took out his phone and looked at it, then turned to the mayor and said,

"Can you prepare a speedboat for me, and arrange it at the pier we came to before. I have to rush back to Dawn City. There are still many things waiting for me to solve on the association's side."

"I'll find someone to prepare for it immediately. If there is another emergency in Hesai Town, I will notify the two of you again."

At this time, the mayor's expression became a little weird. Although he asked the other party to leave, he didn't expect the other party to agree so simply.

"No, if there's an emergency, don't notify me, just notify her, I'm busy, don't you see, I'm too busy to have lunch here to be honest, the ribs are good, the potatoes aren't rotten enough , Tell the people in the cafeteria here, remember to stew longer in the future."

Putting the bowl into the mayor's hand, Zhu Jue walked out without looking back. Olivia "hesitated" for a while, but finally followed "helplessly".

Only the mayor and the forensic doctor were left in the room.

The latter raised his hand, pointed to the corpse, and then pointed to the door.

"As usual."

The former also raised his hand, but he made a stop gesture. While talking, he pointed his fingers at his ears, with an intriguing expression.

**
At the pier in Hesai Town, Olivia and Zhu Jue were waiting for the speedboat to pick them up.

Behind them, there were two police cars to pick them up, with red and blue lights on the roof, and the siren did not stop, but played in a loop, which was requested by Zhu Jue.

"Why are you leaving all of a sudden?"

Olivia believed in Zhu Jue, that's why she cooperated and left before, but now she couldn't bear it anymore, so she took the initiative to ask.

"Because I'm not Sherlock Holmes, it's really interesting to solve cases once or twice, but I've been busy recently, so I don't have time to waste here. You know, according to our progress just now, if we want to clarify things, we might have to use those It’s a stupid way not to look at the sky as dark, but in the eyes of some people, the place where the two of us stand is bright.”

Putting his hands into his cuffs, Zhu Jue rubbed the soles of his feet against the wooden stakes by the pier. The wind chime was rolling in the backpack on his chest. Maybe he felt a little stuffy, and he shook his head and came out from Zhu Jue's neckline after a while.

"Someone is watching us?"

Subconsciously lowered her voice, Olivia was never stupid, Zhu Jue just mentioned it, and she immediately understood the meaning.

"The corpse that suddenly appeared in the painter's residence is the best proof. How did the person who put the corpse know that I would go to the painter's residence at that time, instead of the police, deliberately throwing stones to let me know his existence. It’s like a secret connection, it’s really a headache, can’t people be more direct now?”

According to normal people's way of thinking, when the corpse is found, the police must be the first to call the police and contact the police in Hesai Town to deal with it. Not only did this person not call the police, but he carried a rotten corpse with ease and put it back on the bed. This is enough It must not be easy to prove the guy who found the body.

However, Zhu Jue will definitely contact the police in Hesai Town after discovering the dead body, which means that the dead body will be sent to the police station in the end. identity of.

He wanted Zhu Jue to know of his existence, but he didn't want the police in Hesai Town to know the information.

So the question is, what does this extra step mean?
The speedboat came from the lake in the distance, Zhu Jue waved, and wanted to leave here impatiently, but said in his mouth, "Do you want to make a bet?"

"What are you gambling?"

"Bet that before we leave the swamp lake in a speedboat, someone will stop us. If I win, you have to help me solve the monitoring equipment immediately after I go back, and you will also help me install it for free. If you win, I will treat you to eat." Meal?"

"You are a temporary consultant now, and I can't command you, so if I win, you have to do me a favor for free in the future."

Originally, Zhu Jue was going to become Olivia's subordinate, but with August's help, he suddenly became a free man in the Dawn City Archaeological Association, even if the captain of the field department like Olivia wanted to If you want to ask him for help, you have to ask Zhu Jue's consent in advance.

What is even more frustrating is that this matter was promoted by the Dawn City Archaeological Association itself. August's original words were to let his students participate in various things and experience more, even some extremely dangerous tasks. no problem.

God is sorry, this is definitely the truth!

In other words, August actually has the same idea as Olivia, which is to use Zhu Jue's power to help the Archaeological Association solve some difficult problems, otherwise, with his current status, he wants to rely on what happened five years ago It would be ridiculous to threaten the role he could play, let alone the statue that didn't know what it was used for.

However, the Dawn City Archaeological Association simply listened to August's words in reverse.
In their view, this old professor had many students, but he was the first one to talk to the senior management of the association with his heart.

Thinking about it this way, this student is undoubtedly very likely to be the person the old professor plans to train as his successor.

With such talents, how dare they arrange tasks casually? If something happened and their successor was killed, how would they explain it to the old professor?
So after an urgent discussion at the high level, he simply came up with the name of a consultant. There is no obligation, but the power is not small. Let Zhu Jue choose where he wants to go, without violating August's intentions. They are also easy to throw the pot away.

Zhu Jue, who was arranged clearly, is naturally very satisfied with this. After all, his purpose of joining the Archaeological Association is to investigate the matter about "Zero". He didn't even plan to come to Hesai Town.

Closer to home, since this trip is here, Zhu Jue has never been a person who likes to give up halfway.

"No problem, let's start now and wait. I want that guy to beg me to hear him tell the truth about Hesai Town!"

Jumping into the speedboat that docked, Zhu Jue hummed a little song, waiting for someone to deliver the truth to her door.

In the alley near the pier, someone was wearing a raincoat, looking at the speedboats gradually leaving outside the pier.

"Hmph, the Archaeological Association thinks highly of you, I have to do it again!"

These two people are in his plan, and they must not leave just like that!
