"The conclusion I can give is that this corpse has been soaked in the lake for a long time. In terms of the degree of decay, it is no less than 24 hours. As for the vines in his body, there are other strange things... I'm sorry, if you want to get detailed results in a short period of time, you can't do this by relying on the equipment in Hesai Town."

The disgusting body was placed next to him. The forensic doctor spoke, but his eyes couldn't help but glance at the man who was raising his food next to him.

"See what I'm doing. I haven't finished lunch, so I can't investigate it while hungry."

Zhu Jue found an empty mortal bed next to him, sat up, completely ignoring the surrounding atmosphere, sucking the bone marrow of the ribs on his own.

"That's all?"

Olivi was counting on the corpse to indicate the direction of the investigation, and he came to the conclusion that he had been soaking in the water for more than 24 hours...

This news has no meaning except that it can show that the painter died a day ago.

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

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

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

"If we have that much time, why do we have to find you?"

Zhu Jue walked to the painter and looked at the strange corpse. Perhaps because of long-term soaking or some other reason, the broken flesh made the original traces of his body disappear completely, and it was difficult to find out what the cause of death was.

"I think things have developed to this point, so why not end here. The painter is the murderer. He killed the victim with some means and painted his appearance before his death. Then there may be mental problems... I think the two of you should have heard that some murderers will suffer great mental pressure after committing crimes. Obviously, this painter cannot bear this pressure, so he chose to go to the lake to commit suicide. Then, some plants in the lake may be regarded as something similar to rotten wood, so he became what he is now."

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

The mayor of Hesai Town did not leave because of Zhu Jue and Olivi's arrival. Instead, he stayed and tried to convince them to end the investigation.

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

Of course, Olivia couldn't end this investigation just like this, and she immediately wanted to refute it.

"I think the mayor said nothing. Since the murderer has been caught, why are we still here for? It's just two people killed. We have more important things to do, right?"

After interrupting Olivi's words, Zhu Jue kicked her on the side of her feet without any trace, and continued when the former looked over,

"It's not a good thing to come to an end in Hesai Town. The Archaeological Association has invested so much in Yecheng recently and needs help from people. There are only two people dead here, and nearly ten thousand deaths in Yecheng. Which one do you think is more important?"

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

"Miss Olivia, you can stay, but you should understand that I am a consultant, and this incident is your match for my actions... I'll leave first, and the Archaeological Society's notice may be sent to you in five minutes."

Zhu Jue's response was very direct. He took out his cell phone and glanced at it, then said to the mayor,

"Can you prepare a speedboat for me? I will arrange it at the dock we came to before. I have to rush back to Shuguang City. There are still many things waiting for me to solve in the association."

"I'll find someone to prepare immediately... If there is any emergency in Hosai Town, I will notify both of you again."

At this time, the mayor's expression became a little strange. Although he spoke up to let the other party leave, he did not expect the other party to agree so simply.

"No, if there is any emergency, don't notify me, just notify her. I'm very busy. Didn't you see it? I'm so busy now that I'm going to have lunch here... To be honest, the ribs taste good, and the potatoes are not rotten enough. Tell me to the people in your cafeteria here, remember to stew it for a longer time in the future."

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

Only the mayor and the forensic doctor remained in the room.

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

"As usual."

The former also raised his hand, but made a stop gesture. While speaking, he pointed his ears with his fingers, and his expression was intriguing.

**

At the pier in Hosai Town, Olivi and Zhu Jue were waiting for the speedboat to pick them up and drop them off.

Behind them were two police cars to pick them up and drop off. The roof was red and blue police lights, and the sirens did not stop, but played in a loop, which was what Zhu Jue asked for.

"Why did you leave suddenly?"

Olivi believed in Zhu Jue, so he cooperated to leave before. When he couldn't bear it now, he asked on his own initiative.

"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 have to know that according to the progress we just now, if we want to figure things out, we might have to use those stupid methods... Don't look at it very dark, in the eyes of some people, the place where we both stand is bright."

With his hands in his cuffs, Zhu Jue rubbed the wooden stakes beside the dock with the soles of his feet. The wind chimes were rolling in the backpack on his chest. Maybe he felt a little bored, and soon he shook his head and came out of Zhu Jue's neckline.

"Someone monitors us?"

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

"The sudden appearance of the corpse in the painter's residence is the best proof. How did the person who released the corpse know that I would go to the painter's residence at that time, instead of the police, and deliberately throwing stones to let me know his existence. It was like a secret connection. It was really a headache. Can't people now be more straightforward?"

According to the normal idea, when a corpse is found, he must call the police as soon as possible and contact the police in Hesai Town for treatment. Not only did this person not call the police, but he was familiar with carrying a rotten corpse and putting it back on the bed. This is enough to prove that the guy who found the corpse must not be simple either.

However, after Zhu Jue discovered the body, he would definitely contact the police in Hesai Town, which means that the body would be sent to the police station in the end. The difference is that the subsequent process is to turn around in Zhu Jue's hands and directly confirm the identity of the body.

He wanted Zhu Jue to know his existence, but he did not want the police in Hesai Town to know this information.

So the question arises, what does this extra step mean?

The speedboat came from the lake far away. Zhu Jue waved, and couldn't wait to leave here, but said, "Do you want to make a bet?"

"What are you betting on?"

"Betting that before we leave the swamp lake on a speedboat, someone will stop us. If I win, you will 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 a meal?"

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

Originally, Zhu Jue wanted to become Olivi's subordinate, but he relied on August's help and suddenly became a free man in the Archaeological Association of Dawn City. Even if the captain of the field department like Olivi wanted to ask him for help, he had to seek Zhu Jue's consent in advance.

What is even more helpless is that this incident was facilitated by the Dawn City Archaeological Association itself. August's original words were to allow his students to participate in various things and experience more, even if it was extremely dangerous tasks, it would be fine.

God is sorry to see, this is definitely the truth!

In other words, August actually has the same idea as Olivi, which is to use Zhu Jue's power to help the Archaeological Association solve some difficult problems. Otherwise, with his current status, it would be ridiculous to want to threaten him by relying on things from five years ago, let alone the statue that I don't know what it is for.

However, the Archaeological Association of Shuguang City simply listened to August's words...

In their opinion, this old professor has many students, but he is so concerned about it and is the first one who specializes in finding senior executives of the association.

Thinking about it this way, it is undoubtedly the person the old professor is preparing to train as a successor.

How dare they arrange tasks casually for such talents? If something happens and kills their successors, how can they explain to this old professor?

So after urgent discussions from the senior management, they simply created the title of consultant, which had no obligations and great power. Zhu Jue made his own choice and went wherever he wanted, but it did not go against August's intention. They could even blame him if something happened.

Zhu Jue, who was arranged clearly, was naturally satisfied with this. After all, his purpose of joining the Archaeological Association was just to investigate the matter about "zero". If he hadn't wanted Olivi to help him get a set of surveillance equipment before, he wouldn't have planned to come to Hesai Town.

Back to the point, since this trip has come, Zhu Jue has never been a person who likes to give up halfway.

"No problem, then let's start now... wait, I'm going to ask that guy to beg me to hear the truth in Hesai Town!"

Jumping into the speedboat at the dock, Zhu Jue hummed a small song, waiting for someone to deliver the truth to the door.

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

"Hmph, Archaeology Association... I'm so proud of you, I have to take action!"
Chapter completed!
