On Nansha Island in the afternoon, with the sea breeze blowing, Song Wen and Lu Siyu stood at a fork in the island and talked to a small boss who set up a stall.

This is the end of the only street and alley on the island. Going up, it is a blue stone edge. The Happiness Hotel and the Cake House are on the cliff. Not far down, there is a beach.

Song Wen took out another hundred from his wallet and asked the little boss, "What else do you know about the disappearance of the girl?"

The boss saw Qian and then continued: "Speaking of which, it's very evil... The girl liked to go to the Internet celebrity cake shop to eat cakes before she died. Not long after the girl died, that is, a month ago, the owner of the cake shop, She died." He said this, and swallowed nervously, "Someone said that the missing girl has died, and after she died, she became a female ghost, and she killed the owner of the cake shop. "

Song Wen frowned: "Didn't the police come to investigate these matters?"

"Come on, whether it's the disappearance of the girl or the suicide of the owner of the cake shop, I've come to check."

In order to get the hundred dollars back, the little boss continued in detail, "After the girl disappeared, the police came to inquire and sent people to search the whole island inside and out. I also checked the place where the girl lived. But there was nothing to gain. As for the owner of the cake house, it is said that he committed suicide by cutting his wrists while taking a bath. When he was found, his body was already cold. During that time, there were waves at sea, and it took more than a day for the police to come. Find out what's wrong."

Hearing this, Song Wen understands that this island is far from the inland, and it is not easy for a professional forensic doctor to come here.

And the employment of forensic medicine is the same as the employment of doctors and teachers.

The best students and the best elites stayed in provincial capitals or big cities. Ordinary students would go to grassroots cities, remote mountainous areas, island villages, etc., and they were the poor students in the class at that time.

Such manpower, such environment, such conditions, what you expect to be able to find out is rare.

Song Wendao: "It's unlikely that there will be female ghosts. Does the boss have any other reasons for suicide?"

The little boss hesitated for a while, then whispered: "There is a saying, it seems that he was given a green hat by his wife, but he was angry and committed suicide. But this may be rumored by the villagers."

"What about the body? Buried?"

"It has long been pulled out of the island and cremated."

Song Wen frowned, "Why cremation?"

The little boss said: "I don't know if you are from outside. Although our island seems to have a lot of vegetation and beaches, it is actually full of rocks. We are all burials at sea here, but later on, we have to spend money to transport them out for cremation.”

Lu Siyu asked again: "Then now, is the cake shop still open? Who is running it?"

The little boss said: "Although the boss is dead, the wife of the boss is still there, and the baker in the shop is still there, so it is not affected. Even the business is better, and young people continue to come here. But there, be careful..."

Having said that, the little boss hesitated. Song Wen asked, "Is there something wrong with the cake shop?"

The little boss waved his hand hurriedly: "No problem, we have also bought the above cake, and it is delicious. There is no restaurant in the Happy Hotel, I guess you have to go to eat."

I don't know if really don't know the inside story, or because they are all neighbors, the little boss is reluctant to talk about it.

"Thanks, we'll be careful." Song Wen then paid the money, and the one hundred was taken as a tip.

After shopping, he just took two steps out. Suddenly, Song Wen's cell phone rang. He opened it and saw that it was Qiu Lan playing him: "Brother Song, are you near the beach? Well, Jiang Jiang and I found out by the beach. I'm a little scared, can you come and take a look?"

Then she took a picture and sent it to him, it was a piece of white stuff stuck in the rocks by the sea...

Song Wen frowned and zoomed in on the picture. Most of the white thing was blocked by the reef, and only some shapes could be vaguely seen.

Lu Siyu took his phone, looked sideways and whispered, "I can't see clearly, it may be a large animal bone, or it may be... a human bone."

Song Wen stood at the fork in the road and asked Lu Siyu, "It seems that we are not too far from the seaside, why don't we go around and have a look?"

Lu Siyu nodded.

Song Wen asked, "That tea egg..."

Ordinary people would probably say, “Let’s go back and eat again, and don’t be in a hurry at this time.”

But Lu Siyu is not an ordinary person. He directly took one out of the plastic bag in Song Wen's hand, peeled off the egg shell with his hands, and opened his mouth to eat it while it was still hot...

Always have enough to eat before you have the strength to work.

Song Wen took out a tissue for him to prepare, and then put other food in his backpack.

Lu Siyu ate very quickly, eating two in a row, his face regained some blood, and wiped his hands and mouth with a tissue.

Song Wen then returned to Qiu Lan and said, "Positioning."

Qiu Lan immediately sent out the location, they were at the seaside, about 800 meters away from them.

The direction of the seaside is relatively well developed for the convenience of tourists. There is an asphalt road that leads directly there, and there are some free public bicycles that can be scanned freely in the open space at the end of the road.

Song Wen and other Lu Siyu rode a car one by one, all the way downhill, and in less than five minutes, they reached the beach not far from the sea.

There is a large reef area on the seaside of Nansha Island. When the tide is high, these reefs will be submerged by water. When the tide is low, large and small reefs will be exposed. These reefs have been washed by the sea and are very smooth and round.

It is close to the seabird habitat area by the sea. At this time, there are already a large number of seabirds flying low in the sky. Some are looking for caves on the cliffs that can be avoided, and some are holding fast on the strong and sturdy trees. nest.

Animals are much more sensitive to natural disasters than humans. In many cases, earthquakes and typhoons are the first to be discovered by animals. Those birds are naturally sensitive to this approaching typhoon.

It is near the seaside, and there are huge swells on the sea. The round waves are a full one or two meters high, and the rhythm is slowly surging, making a heavy and heavy sound.

The darker the sky, the clearer everything in the distance became.

These are all precursors of an impending typhoon.

At this moment, the two girls were standing beside a few rocks, and they could be seen from a distance.

Qiu Lan saw Song Wen, and then saw Lu Siyu behind him: "Oh, brother Lu is there too?"

Song Wendao: "We happened to meet on the way." Then he looked at Qiu Lan, "Why did you just send it to me?"

Qiu Lanyu stopped for a moment, blinked his eyes, and explained: "The teacher should have already arrived at the hotel, it's not good to bother him any more, and... We also thought about asking someone first about this matter, in case we misunderstood. Well, isn't that a joke?"

She can't say it, because she thinks Song Wen is more handsome, and she feels that he is bold and reliable, and she wants to invite him over to see him alone...

Lu Siyu couldn't hear them chatting and wasting time, so he asked directly, "The typhoon is coming, hurry up, what did you find?"

"Oh, it's here." Jiang Jiang said and pointed to them, there was a white bone-like thing stuck under two rocks not far away, "We originally photographed seabirds by the sea. , At that time, Qiu Lan accidentally stumbled on the reef, and we didn't expect that there was a section of white bone underneath."

And that bone... If it is a small animal, the bone is not big enough, and if it is a large animal, the bone is too small. After thinking about it, feel that it may be a human bone...

Lu Siyu put on his gloves skillfully, walked over and squatted down to take a look. He first shook the bone-like thing, which was stuck between two rocks and didn't move at all. He raised his head and said to Song Wen: " lag."

"I'll try." Song Wen said, helping him move the reef next to him, and the two worked together to finally take out the thing.

Jiang Jiang and Qiu Lan were also interested at this time. They bowed down and watched. They had studied marine biology and had a little understanding of the bones and anatomy of ordinary animals. Only then could they make a preliminary judgment. some bones.

Lu Siyu took that piece of thing in his hand and observed it carefully. The bones as a whole were moon-white, with seams on them. Bone cavities were visible at the fractures. They were eroded by sea water for a period of time. The fish have eaten clean.

Qiu Lan dared to ask curiously, "Is this thing a human bone?"

Lu Siyu didn't answer her, turned his head and whispered to Song Wen, "It's possible."

"Really?" Both girls took a step back.

Song Wen ignored them. He immediately thought of the missing girl, lowered his head and asked Lu Siyu, "Then could it be the remains of the missing girl?"

Lu Siyu stretched out his slender fingers to measure and gesture: "This should be the human femur, that is, the thigh bone, which is the longest tubular bone in the human body. According to the length and thickness of the adult femur, the height of the deceased can be inferred. Judging by the thickness of this bone, it may be a female femur. However, the specific test needs to be carried out.”

From mollusks to the first exoskeletons, to the evolution of exoskeletons to endoskeletons, mammals ruled the world.

Bone is often the last thing left of an animal or human body. Flesh, skin, and internal organs will decay and deteriorate. Only bones can be immortalized for thousands of years.

Bone is made up of living cells mixed with minerals. It is unimaginable that this hard thing is a living tissue that can grow. It exists in each of us.

Some ancient peoples believed that bones had souls and were the blessings of God to all things, and were regarded as sacred objects.

Before puberty, the difference between male and female bones is not too large. Once adult, due to hormones and growth reasons, male bones will become longer, thicker, thicker, and rougher in surface, while female bones will be short, slender, slender, and bony The surface is smooth.

Although there are many comprehensive factors that can affect the state of bones, such as region, growth environment, individual differences, hormones, drugs, etc., basic judgments can still be made according to general laws.

Limb bones can determine gender and height. This bone looks like a woman's, and it should be a young, lanky woman.

Song Wen asked again, "Can the time of death be confirmed?"

"I've been soaked in sea water, but overall, it's still relatively fresh." Lu Siyu observed the words for a while, and pointed a section of the bone to Song Wen, "The surface of this bone looks like a bone The marks left by saw sawing should have been sawed open after death."

"The wound surface of the scar is flat, not fractured or naturally formed, but sawed off. The surface roughness of the fracture can reflect the size of the sawtooth."

At Lu Siyu University, once did a project, which was the inspection of saw marks on the cross-section of human bones. The instructor at the time took them to saw several bones with various types of saws, and finally came to the conclusion that different saw teeth The saw marks left are markedly different in the microscopic state.

Although there is no better magnifying instrument for him to observe carefully, it is not difficult to judge that it is a bone saw injury.

Fractures or saw cuts caused before death will have traces of hematoma on the surface of the bones, but the corpse after death does not have this phenomenon. In the current situation, it is very likely that the body has been disposed of.

A lot of clues can be inferred from just a piece of white bone, which has not been tested and further microscopically observed. This is where the gap between good forensics and average forensics lies.

Song Wen frowned slightly when he heard this. The missing girl, the bones on the beach, the owner of the cake shop who committed suicide, the prisoner who had been hiding for more than ten years, this small island seems to have quite a lot of stories.

Qiu Lan looked at Lu Siyu and said, "You can tell if it's a male or a female based on a piece of bone. Actually, you are the only one who knows divination, right?"

Lu Siyu looked serious: "This is not mysticism, this is science."

Qiu Lan said: "Of course I know, I'm joking, but aren't you a photographer? How do you know so much about corpses and bones?"

Jiang Jiang looked Lu Siyu up and down: "Yes, you won't be a forensic doctor, right?" She was also shocked by those terms.

Lu Siyu shook his head: "I learned it myself from reading books in the past, so it's not necessarily accurate."

Jiang Jiang pouted, Lu Siyu used a very determined and professional tone just now, but now he denies it.

These two boys have been mysterious since they got on the boat. They notified the one named Song Yu, but the one named Lu Siwen came together. All these signs made her feel that the relationship between the two people, It must not be as simple as they say.

Song Wen thought of what the stall owner had said before. Teacher Su also came to inquire about the missing girl, and asked the two girls, "By the way, have you, Mr. Su, been married? Have you had any children?"

Qiu Lan didn't know what to say to Teacher Su: "It seems that he was married when he was young, and then divorced. Since he taught us, he was alone, and he didn't know if he had any children."

Song Wen asked again, "Has Teacher Su been teaching you all the time?"

Qiu Lan continued to answer: "Yes, Mr. Su is a good person, very knowledgeable and very patient. He is a good person who will give money to roadside beggars and donate money. He has taught us marine biology. In the college, he The most elective courses are registered.”

While they were talking, Lu Siyu was still looking down at the bones, and Jiang Jiang looked around and said, "Where did this bone come from? It floated over with the sea? Could it be picked up by seabirds? What?" Then she looked at the size of the bone again, "But it's so big, it's probably more than the seabird can carry."

Song Wen stood up and looked around, "It doesn't look like it was brought over by the sea, and it shouldn't be a seabird..." Then he raised his head and found a cliff not far away, which was on this reef. He stretched out his finger and said, "It may have been thrown from the cliff in this direction when the tide was high. Other parts were washed away by the sea water, and this piece just got stuck in the rock."

If it is high tide, these reefs will not show at all, they will all be under the water.

Jiang Jiang had studied the map of the island before, and after hearing this sentence, his expression changed slightly: "That place... is not far from the Happiness Hotel and the cake shop." They were going to rush there.

Qiu Lan tightened her clothes, her braids had been blown a bit messy by the wind, and her skirt was not so warm: "No one died on the island, right? Was the girl who went missing before killed?"

On the small island of this tourist attraction, a suspected human corpse was suddenly found, which sounds scary enough.

Song Wendao: "There is something strange on this island."

In addition to the missing girl, the owner of the island's cake shop also committed suicide not long ago.

Without waiting for Song Wen to explain in detail, Qiu Lan's face turned pale with fright: "This white bone is enough to infiltrate people. There won't be anything unclean here, so... let's..."

Jiang Jiang has always been very rational, but she is a young girl after all. At this time, her expression also showed a trace of panic: "The most important thing is... the typhoon is coming, and there is no other place to live..."

Seeing how scared they were, Song Wen couldn't bear to tell the truth. He didn't tell them about the owner of the cake shop. He smiled and comforted: "There are no ghosts in this world."

Lu Siyu stood up, blinked his long eyelashes through the glasses, and said coldly: "Through the dynasties and years of the earth, so many people, everyone died, so many dead people were buried in various The place. The house you lived in, the school you went to, the road you walked on, and even every inch of land you stepped on might have bones buried under it…”

Human history is built on bones.

This is a scientific discussion, and it speaks the truth, but Jiang Jiang and Qiu Lan obviously never thought of it that way.

The sea was turbulent and the sea breeze was hunting. The sky was a little gloomy. Lu Siyu held a piece of white bone in his hand and wore gold glasses. With his indifferent expression and cold voice, he told the same content...

The girls were even more frightened, and looked up at him together, shivering. The comforting effect of these words did not seem to be very good.

Seeing the cold scene, Song Wen could only round up Lu Siyu: "If you could meet a ghost, you would have met it long ago. Don't scare yourselves."

Lu Siyu looked down at the white bone in his hand, wondering whose bone it was and what kind of story it had. He took out a physical evidence bag from the bag that Song Wen was carrying, wrapped the bone in it, and said, "This thing has not been tested, it is not accurate, we should go to the hotel as soon as possible, and then hand it over to the police when we have time. ."

Now, the wind on the beach is getting stronger and stronger, and the sky is covered with dark clouds. This typhoon is really coming.

Song Wen agreed: "In short, everyone be careful. Let's go to the hotel first."

Jiang Jiang hurriedly took out his mobile phone and looked at it, and made an ahh: "The typhoon is coming soon, let's speed up."

The typhoon that was far away from them just now has moved to the big wind circle on the edge of the island. On the map, it looks like a huge round cake with cream.

In the blink of an eye, the rain was about to fall, and the four of them began to climb up the mountain quickly. want to get to the hotel before the rain. If the action is one point slower, it is very likely that the heavy rain will block the road.

Song Wen carried two bags, turned around and pulled Lu Siyu, still very relaxed. The two girls fell behind for a while, but fortunately they were young and didn't hold back, and followed closely.

Jiang Jiang thought for a while, then turned to discuss with Qiu Lan next to him in a low voice: "I don't think I should tell the teacher about this bone matter. He can't help much, so I'll scare him when I look back."

Qiu Lan nodded and looked at the two people in front of him.

Jiang Jiang had a hunch that these two people seemed to be more reliable than the teacher. Now that they knew about it, the handsome guy with glasses carefully put away his bones. What the police do to test, there should be results.
