Chapter 728 - 671 I will stretch my left foot first
The sewage pit on the empty ground of the crime scene was shallow, but covered quite a large area, apparently several hundred square meters.
Four sewage pits in a row, not far from each other, dotted the landscape. The depth at the center of each was between half a meter and a meter, but if the water level rose slightly more, these four pits might just converge into one large pond.
Liu Cheng stood on the bank, his gaze woodenly fixed on the distance. Even so, the pungent odor persistently drilled into his nostrils.
One wonders whether anyone has ever tried such an experiment: collecting the liquid waste produced by their household garbage, placing it in a carefully selected glass beaker, and then sitting in front of the beaker, fanning above it with their hand to force the smell into their nostrils—it was that smell!
"Criminals in Beijing these days, who knows what they’re up to? Either dumping on garbage hills or in sewers, and now we have sewage ponds. Can’t they commit crimes at clean places!" Liu Cheng complained as soon as he opened his mouth, desperate to vent the foul odor that filled him.
Standing in the waist-deep pond, a police officer, hand over hand feeling through the mud, crawled out and cast an irritated look at Liu Cheng: "Liu Da, why don’t you get into the pond? It doesn’t stink there."
"What’s the logic behind the pond not stinking?" Liu Cheng asked, amused.
The mud-covered officer replied, "It’s so slippery in there, all you can think about is the nausea; the stink doesn’t even come to mind."
Liu Cheng chuckled in embarrassment, "You guys are working hard. Once we’re done here, I’ll get the division chief Tao Lu to approve and we’ll eat and drink on public funds."
"Public funds for boxed lunches?"
