Yellow River Craftsman

Chapter 175 The Rotten Male Corpse

The black-topped boat was dangling on the water, and I was holding the oars, and my eyes were like eagle eyes, scanning back and forth on the river.

Lao Yang was also prepared, and actually took out a binoculars, biting a cigarette, and looked at the river surface with the binoculars.

Time passed by, the river was very quiet, only the sound of the river flowing.

Suddenly, Lao Yang howled: "Fuck! What is that?"

"Tuobagu, look at the direction at two o'clock!" There was a hint of joy in Lao Yang's voice, as if he had found his target.

I hurriedly looked in the direction of two o'clock, and sure enough, I saw a mass of white things floating in the water.

"Have you found the corpse?" Lao Niao and Cao Yi also became excited.

"Go and have a look!" I exerted all of my strength, turned the paddle like a wind wheel, and rushed towards the white thing.

I rowed the awning boat to the predetermined location. At this time, the white thing was still 30 meters away from us. It floated down at this angle and just passed the side of the awning boat.The judgment of the drifting direction of the corpse is also very particular. The awning boat must be fixed in advance, and it cannot stop too far, so that the corpse cannot be caught.You can't stop too close, and you can't let the corpse crash into the awning boat.Under the impact speed of the water flow, some swollen corpses may overturn the awning boat, and it is a taboo for corpse hunters to collide with the boat.

After I fixed the boat, I quickly took out the corpse net from the cabin, shook the net bag in the air, and slowly clenched the mahogany handle with both hands, holding my breath, watching the white thing getting closer and closer to us.Judging by my experience, that white mass is probably a dead body nine out of ten.

Ten meters, five meters, three meters...

I raised the corpse net with both hands, but I didn't make a move until the white thing floated past the side of the boat.

The white thing was indeed a corpse, but it was not a human corpse, but a dead pig!A fat, bloated pig!The inside of the dead pig was filled with water, and the carcass foamed, like a big round white meat ball, floating and sinking in the water.When it floated past in front of me, I could still clearly see a large piece of white maggots turning in and out under the skin of the meat, exuding a foul stench.

wow-

Cao Yi immediately lay down on the side of the boat, no longer caring about her beautiful image, and vomited so loudly that tears came out of her mouth.

The old bird also curled his lips: "Nimma, eating pork from now on will be a shadow!"

When it comes to pork, I think of the glistening plate of kangzi meat I had for lunch, and my stomach churns suddenly.But then I thought it would be a pity if I vomited out such a rich lunch, so I swallowed it back hard.

Cao Yi was out of breath: "Old Yang, it's all your fault, you just yelled nonsense without seeing clearly!"

Lao Yang made a haha: "Blind eyes! Clumsy eyes! This person is like this in his old age!"

"Hey! Look, what's over there?" The old bird patted Lao Yang's shoulder and pointed towards ten o'clock.

"Huh?" Lao Yang hurriedly raised his binoculars to take a look: "It seems to be a person, Tuobagu, hurry up and take a look!"

I turned the bow of the boat and rushed towards ten o'clock.

This time the old bird was right, and neither was Old Yang, the thing floating down the river was indeed a corpse.The time the corpse was soaked in the water wasn't too long, but it wasn't too short either. The body still more than doubled in size, like a fat wax gourd floating on the water.The deceased was floating face down on the water, and his appearance could not be seen. Only from the analysis of his clothes and body, the deceased should be a man.

"Tuoba Gu, it's up to you!" said the old bird.

I nodded, stopped the boat, rolled up my sleeves, picked up the corpse net, bent over and stood on the deck, fixed my eyes on the swollen male corpse, held my breath, and remained motionless.

The moment the male corpse floated past, I shot like lightning, and swished the corpse net. The net bag in front covered the male corpse's head, and then I put more force on my wrist to catch the corpse. A man's body, lest he continue to drift down.Then, like fishing, I patiently carried the male corpse around in circles on the surface of the water.When the net bag almost covered most of the male corpse's body, I suddenly exerted force in a deep voice, accompanied by a yell, and carried me onto the deck with the net all at once.

It is early summer now, and the weather is a little hot. Although there is a bit of wind on the river, but my back is facing the sun, I am already sweating profusely from exhaustion.Of course, my sweating is not a big deal, the key is that the male corpse on the deck has already started to rot and smell under the high temperature, and even glistening corpse oil dripped out.

I don’t know if you have smelled the smell of corpses, anyway, I can’t think of any words to describe that smell. It is a kind of smell that penetrates the heart and penetrates into the bone marrow, which is incomparable to other smells.

As soon as the river wind blew, the strong stench of corpses permeated the cabin, and Cao Yi, who had stopped vomiting just now, couldn't help but vomited again.Even people like Lao Yang and Lao Niao, who had seen too many corpses, couldn't help covering their noses. The stench was so unspeakable.

But even if it stinks, there's still work to be done.

Lao Yang waved at me, motioning for me to turn the male corpse over.

I held my breath, pulled hard, and turned the male corpse over.

When the front of the male corpse was exposed in my field of vision, I shivered suddenly. A strong desire to vomit emerged from the bottom of my heart and surged up the esophagus. I covered my mouth desperately, That's why I didn't spit it out on the spot.

The facial features of the male corpse were already rotted, the degree of rot was not very serious, and the age could not be seen, but the face was terrifying and hideous enough.The flesh on the face was rolled up, and there were still pieces of meat hanging, the eyeballs were swollen, and one even protruded from the eye socket, looking like it would roll out at any time.The mouth is also rotten, and a few white maggots are trying to drill out from the corner of the mouth...

Lao Yang and Lao Niao walked out of the cabin and came to the deck.

I pointed to the male corpse on the ground: "Lao Yang, can you see if this person is on the missing list?"

Lao Yang nodded and flipped through the file, which contained photos of nine missing persons.

The old bird's eyes were sharp, and he recognized it immediately: "Zhou Wei! This male corpse is Zhou Wei!"

I leaned over to take a look, Zhou Wei in the photo was a middle-aged man in his 40s, slightly fat, with a small red mole on his right ear. He was wearing a beige shirt before he disappeared.

I looked at the male corpse on the deck again. He was slightly fat, and he was also wearing a beige shirt, which matched the deceased Zhou Wei very well.

Lao Yang held his breath, knelt down and carefully observed Zhou Wei's right ear, there was indeed a small mole there.

All the characteristics of the deceased were consistent with Zhou Wei, and it was almost certain that this floating corpse was Zhou Wei.

Lao Yang said to the old bird; "Notify the higher authorities to send someone to take Zhou Wei's body back for an autopsy to see how he died!"

The old bird nodded, and went to the stern to call his superiors.

In the past, after the corpses were salvaged, they were wrapped in straw mats.But this is the modern 21st century, and straw mats are too rustic, so I don’t use straw mats anymore, but use a large black woven bag. I call this bag “wrapping corpses.” bag".

Lao Yang asked Cao Yi to come over and help, and they pulled the mouth of the bag together so that I could put the body into the bag.

Seeing Cao Yi's pale face, I deliberately sarcastically said: "Hey, I'm still a senior police officer of the serious crime team, and I dare not even touch a dead body. I really don't know if you followed us to collect corpses or to go on an outing ?”

Cao Yi's face was ashen, he was panting heavily, his chest was heaving violently, being so excited by me, this crazy girl didn't know which muscle was wrong, so she lifted up her sleeves and stretched out without any scruples. With both hands, he grabbed the dead body's feet, and then stuffed the dead body into the body bag.

Lao Yang stared blankly at Cao Yi, gave a thumbs up and said in admiration, "That's right, you really give us the face of the serious crime team leader!"

I smiled mockingly: "What a heroine! But I mind you, you'd better wash your hands quickly, and don't eat with your hands within three to five days, the smell of corpses on your hands won't wash away for a long time! "

Cao Yi curled his lips, seeing his hands covered in corpse oil, he quickly squatted on the side of the boat, rubbing his hands vigorously.

"Tsk tsk, you're brave, but you have big breasts and no brains!" I murmured in a low voice, this damn girl often hurts me, and I finally got a chance to hurt her.

"Okay, okay!" Lao Yang comforted, "Why are you two like enemies, bickering when you meet!"

Cao Yi and I said in unison: "I owed him in my previous life!"

Nima, I actually have a tacit understanding with this little girl, and we all say in unison, ah, bah, bah, bah!

Lao Yang was about to fasten the body bag, I told him not to worry, then took out a mortal talisman from the pocket of his underwear, quickly recited a series of spells silently, raised his hand and slapped the mortal talisman on the forehead of the dead body The central government let out a sigh of relief: "It's done!"

Lao Yang looked at the yellow talisman and asked me curiously: "What is this?"

"This is called a dead body talisman, to prevent the dead body from changing!" I said.

We corpse hunters have a rule, for the sake of our own safety, after we fish out the corpse, we have to stick a talisman on the dead corpse to prevent the dead corpse from changing accidentally.

After all this was done, the sun was about to set, and the afterglow of the setting sun cut a hole in the sky, like blood flowing out, flowing all the way to the ancient road of the Yellow River, dyeing the entire river surface.

I looked at the sky, it was getting late, the boat had to be collected before dark, and we couldn't continue to fish for corpses, and it was best to transport the fished corpses back to the shore before the sky completely darkened.

Lao Yang knew that we corpse hunters had many taboos and rules, so he didn't ask me to stay and observe for a while.

Although there were a few twists and turns in today's corpse-hunting operation, it went smoothly after all, and I'm still in a good mood.
