[Rebirth] Bone Quest

Qiao Yu's heart exploded, but the surface was still calm. He put his trembling fingers into his pocket, and said calmly, "Officer Cong is still so interested in forensic science. I don't know if I can be more specific. Tell me, I'm interested in that... oh yes, ring-shaped marks on charred corpses you just mentioned."

Cong Rong smiled slyly, stubbed out the cigarette butt and threw it into the trash can, "So, Ye Xing, would you like to come to my house to talk about it? After all, it's scary for everyone to talk about this kind of issue in such a gloomy environment. I don't want someone to be so frightened that they hug me and cry."

Qiao Yu clenched her fist, trying not to let herself hit Cong Rong's smiling face.Who the fuck is pissing in the ass, bastard!

Seeing Qiao Yu's swollen look and those pair of eyes that were about to burst into flames but held back, they were so cute, Cong Rong couldn't help but play a prank, "It doesn't matter if you don't want to come with me, then we Just chatting here, you also know that once I start working, I will not show mercy to anyone. If I find any new clues in a while, maybe I will ask you to investigate overnight, such as dissecting the stomach of that corpse Ah, bronchi, guts, if you don't want to spit out your breakfast the day before yesterday, just talk to me here."

"You!" Qiao Yu trembled angrily, but he had nothing to do with Cong Rong. If he hadn't gone home with him, maybe this pervert really wanted to dissect the corpse by himself. The corpse was his own body... Who really can do it!This bastard must have calculated Li Yexing's weakness of throwing up as soon as he dissected a corpse to be so arrogant!

Cong Rong raised his hand and ruffled Qiao Yu's hair, "Okay, the appointed one will follow me."

The moment his fingers passed through the black hair, the soft touch gently brushed between the fingers, and the dry and cool hair left a slightly itchy feeling on the skin, which made Cong Rong feel a little dazed for a moment.He put down his hands in embarrassment and turned around to leave. Qiao Yu followed him without saying a word, and glanced lightly from the corner of his eye. He could see his smooth and graceful jaw and slender eyelashes. For some reason, Cong Rong felt that this angle Li Yexing is... pretty.

Cong Rong's home is a standard two-bedroom, one-living room, with simple and clear lines. Although there are not many furniture, there are all the necessary things. The room is clean and tidy, and it really doesn't look like a single man's residence.

"Sit whatever you want, I'll get you something to drink." Cong Rong rolled up his sleeves, opened the refrigerator and looked at it, "It seems that I only have coffee and water here. What do you want to drink?"

"Water will do."

Qiao Yu sat on the sofa and looked around. Seeing the neatly organized room, she couldn't help complaining. Is this guy so serious and rigid no matter what he does?The sofa is white, but it doesn't even have a speck of dust. Needless to say, he must be a clean freak.

Cong Rong took a glass of water and handed it to Qiao Yu, while he made a bag of instant coffee himself. He picked up the cup and was about to drink it, but was startled by the way Qiao Yu looked at him.

"Why are you looking at me so fiercely?"

"Drinking coffee in the middle of the night, do you really want to lose sleep at night?"

Cong Rong was stunned for a moment, and then burst out laughing, "Li Yexing, you have known me for not a day or two. Staying up late is as normal to me as eating. If I don't drink coffee to refresh my mind, how can I try the case. In the past When everyone was working all night, you were the first one to yell for coffee, but this time you talked about health preservation with me, haha."

A flash of discomfort flashed across Qiao Yu's face, "Uh...really? I don't even remember it, it should be because my brain hasn't recovered from the blow-up."

"Maybe, but it's the first time I've met someone who even changed their living habits after amnesia." Cong Rong drank his coffee and glanced at the clock on the wall. It was 02:30 in the morning, which was really late enough.

"It's so late, aren't you sleepy?"

Qiao Yu raised his eyebrows and showed a smile that was not a smile, "I was sober enough to be scared in the morgue, it would be strange if I could sleep now."

In fact, since he joined the old perverted organization, he has almost lived a day and night life upside down. At that time, Sissen had brutally trained his subordinates to keep them awake when performing tasks.

It is said that hunger can keep people awake, so they were not allowed to eat during special training at that time. The greatest happiness every day is drinking water, and each person is limited to 20cc per day.In a completely dark basement, the only light source is a bright flashlight directly above the eyes, the body is suspended abruptly, unable to close eyes or walk, and can only repeat Sissen's forced implantation into their brains over and over again. method of killing.

During those dark days, when life was worse than death, Qiao Yu completely adapted to the darkness. His body was completely remodeled by the old pervert, and he was able to maintain a normal physical state even without eating, drinking or sleeping.So staying up late is just a matter of time for him, and refreshing drinks such as coffee and tea are even more redundant.

"Oh, that's true. Since you don't want to sleep, why don't we talk about it?"

Qiao Yu's body tensed up suddenly. His vigilance over the years made him have to be vigilant against Cong Rong. It can be seen that Cong Rong is shrewd and cunning and good at staying put. This time he brought himself home must have some other purpose , everything is better to be cautious.

Cong Rong leaned on the sofa, clasped his hands together for a while before he spoke: "I'm still asking the same question, if there is a charred corpse in front of you, how can you tell whether he was burned to death or after death? Burning corpses?"

"This is very simple, just check his bronchus for smoke and dust. If the body was cremated after death, the deceased had stopped breathing before being burnt, so there is no possibility of soot in his bronchus, but It would be different if it was directly burned to death. Burning to death is a process that does not kill immediately after the fire is ignited, so the victim should still be breathing during this process, so that the post-mortem autopsy can find the accumulation in the trachea the soot in it."

Qiao Yu couldn't be troubled by these small problems at all. As a forensic science student who has been a killer for so many years, he knows how to cleanly destroy the criminal evidence without leaving any clues. The little trick of sight is definitely the lowest level of tricks. Cong Rong has been working for so many years, and the police should not even have this bit of "common sense".

Cong Rong listened patiently, he didn't know what he was thinking on his face, so he touched his chin and continued to ask: "What should I do if there are no dissection tools at the scene of the crime and I can only distinguish it with the naked eye?"

Qiao Yu couldn't figure out what the hell was going on in Cong Rong's stomach. His attitude was very serious. If it wasn't because he was almost caught by him in the police morgue, Qiao Yu even felt that the person sitting in front of him was a Don't be ashamed to ask good students who are open-minded and eager to learn.

Cong Rong's question seemed random, but he never moved the topic away from the bombing of the police station. What did he mean?Are you testing me?

Qiao Yu pretended to be good-tempered and smiled, stood up and walked a few steps casually in the living room, "Actually, there is another method, but it is not so reliable. I call it the 'steak method'."

"Steak method? You're really wicked." Cong Rong's mind instantly flashed a strange picture of a dead body lying in an oven, rolling up and down, and his stomach churned and almost spit out the coffee he poured in just now.

Qiao Yu smirked, and waved to Cong Rong, "When I explain it clearly, you will think this statement is very vivid." As he spoke, he picked up half a glass of clear water on the table and raised it in front of him, "Actually, sometimes water and fire are the same. The nature is the same, like this..."

As he said that, he threw the glass at Cong Rong at once. Cong Rong sat on the sofa and didn't expect Qiao Yu to make a sudden attack on him and quickly dodged, but it was a pity that he didn't prevent his shirt from being half wet.

"Li Yexing, you don't even think about your ability when you do something to me."

Cong Rong leaned over and grabbed the quilt the moment the glass hit the ground. The transparent glass was held firmly in his hand when it was less than one centimeter from the ground. Unfortunately, the water in the glass spilled a lot. land.

Qiao Yu whistled in his heart and couldn't help applauding, "As expected of the boss, this skill is different, but there is an old saying that 'It's easy to hide with an open gun, but it's hard to defend against a hidden arrow'!"

He rushed forward and pinned Cong Rong fiercely with his feet, clasped his shoulders with both hands and slammed him violently, knocking Cong Rong to the ground.Fortunately, Cong Rong was vigilant. When he fell to the ground, he supported his body with his elbows and successfully lost some of his strength. He fell to the ground and turned over without hurting his bones.

Although Cong Rong had always been wary of Qiao Yu and kept probing him with his words, he never expected that Qiao Yu would confront him head-on and directly use brute force to solve the problem.He was surprised for a while, but Qiao Yu's shoulder, the sensitive card owner, also brought him to the ground.

The two men wrestled into a ball on the ground like kindergarten children, tearing each other up and not giving way to anyone, Qiao Yu deliberately hid his ability and blindly confronted Cong Rong, Cong Rong always thought that Qiao Yu was hiding something, how could he know this guy But he is a three-legged cat with a bad heart but knows no kung fu. Looking at his slender arms and legs, Cong Rong didn't dare to use all his strength to end up in a messy situation.

Although Qiao Yu is full of kung fu, he can't use it in Li Yexing's body after all. In addition, he will not get any benefits if he deliberately conceals it. took a bite.

"Hiss! You belong to a dog!" Cong Rong quickly pulled out his hand, and there was a circle of tooth marks on it, which was so red that it was about to bleed.

"Hmph, if you pinch my neck again, I will continue to bite." Qiao Yu turned his head arrogantly not to give Cong Rong a good look, even he himself didn't know why he became so childish, showing childishness in front of Cong Rong side.

"How did a very gentle kid before become this kind of virtue? I think you are probably a ghost." Cong Rong pushed Qiao Yu away and wanted to stand up, but was pulled back and knocked down to the ground.

Cong Rong stared at Qiao Yu with wide eyes in surprise, did this guy take stimulants?How did such a thin body drag down a tall man like me?

Cong Rong didn't know that his words hit Qiao Yu's pain point, Qiao Yu turned over and rode on Cong Rong's waist, picked up a piece of broken glass beside him and lifted it to Cong Rong's neck, "If I am really a ghost, I will be the first one. Wrap you around and make you pee your pants in fright."

As he spoke, he sneered, lowered his head and approached Cong Rong, his moist peach eyes glowed coldly, "Look, now you are pinned down by me and can't move, your whole back is soaked in water, while the front There is not a drop of water in the chest, so you should know how to distinguish the two ways of death without using a scalpel?"

Cong Rong's eyes lit up, and before he had time to think about it, he blurted out: "Is this what you mean by the 'steak method'?"

Qiao Yu smiled smugly and nodded, you should have guessed the idiot long ago!

Cong Rong smiled knowingly, completely understanding what Qiao Yu said.Just imagine, if a living person is burned by fire, he will definitely struggle and flee desperately, so his body will be completely burned, but in other words, if it is a dead body lying there, no matter how big the fire is, it is impossible to move. That way there would be no burn marks on his back.

This principle is like frying a steak. If you put a piece of meat on the iron plate without turning it, then there will be a problem that one side is burnt and the other side is not yet cooked. Isn’t the same principle for burnt dead bodies?

So it is!After Cong Rong figured it out, he felt that Li Yexing was even more annoying. At the beginning, he said that "sometimes the nature of water and fire are the same" to make people stunned, and then suddenly launched an attack that caught people off guard. In the end, it was just such a simple truth. It's over if you don't say it, and it's really wicked to have to use such a violent method.

Cong Rong sat up and threw Qiao Yu to the ground at once, and then pressed his arms behind him without leaving him any room, "Li Yexing, although your demonstration just now was wonderful, but for a person in the investigative agency For the appraisers who are on duty, attacking police officers repeatedly is a crime, and now I can sue you for assaulting the police."

"Heh, boss, what are you kidding? You were the one who asked me the question first. Why did I become an assault on the police after I showed you a good-hearted demonstration? Besides, no matter how bad I am, I am at least half a policeman. You framed me like this Does it count as slandering state workers?" Qiao Yu was so crushed by Cong Rong that he couldn't breathe, his arms were stuck tightly behind his back, and his bones were rattling, but he still put on an innocent expression. Don't admit defeat.

"Oh, that's right, I almost forgot, you are a half-assed forensic doctor who will cry when you see a corpse." Cong Rong squinted his eyes and stared at Qiao Yu for a moment, but he was very happy in his heart , the more you don't like to hear something, the more I have to say something.

"You!" Qiao Yu squinted his eyes angrily, pursed his thin lips together, his cheeks were flushed, his fine hair was blown by his heavy breathing, and brushed against those charming eyes. A stream of anger and anger.

Cong Rong just wanted to tease him, but the phone rang inappropriately.

Both of them were taken aback, who would call Cong Rong at two or three o'clock in the middle of the night?

Cong Rong picked up his phone and looked at the call, and immediately had a bad premonition in his heart.

"Hey, Director. What?! Um... ok... yes, I'll go there..."

After snapping off the phone, Cong Rong picked up his coat and went out with a solemn expression.

Qiao Yu immediately stood up and grabbed him and asked, "The director called you just now? What happened?"

"There was a murder case in the south of the city. A female student died. The police on duty couldn't solve it. The chief called me and asked me to go there. Oh, by the way, you also go with me. Maybe it will be useful later."

"Ordinary homicide cases shouldn't be handled by us. What does it mean that those on duty can't solve them?" Qiao Yu frowned suspiciously. Although he had just joined the crime squad not long ago, he still knew that this team was different from other police officers. It is not the case that is not an ordinary major case or a case that cannot be solved by normal means. It will not be handed over to the serious crime team. Why is it so sudden this time?

Cong Rong's face was solemn, and his handsome facial features showed seriousness. He glanced at Qiao Yu and said, "This case seems to be related to the serial murder and rape case many years ago. The director attaches great importance to it, so he transferred the case to us. I'll tell you on the way, get in the car first, we're in a hurry."
